Tour of Mexico Plan
ned to Acquaint En-
voy With Resources
OF Country

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 7.-tP)-In
six weeks Ambassador Morrow has
greatly improved relations between
the United States and Mexico, in the
opinion of President Gales.
The president gave his view 70
correspondents who accompanied
him and the Ambassador on their
tour of the country.
Morrow's main virtue is his abiIi-
ty to make himself loved by every
body the president said. He con-
siders the ambassador to be his
personal friend.
He said his invitation to Morrow
10 join the tour was due to a desire
TO afford the ambassador an oppor-
tunity 70 know the country and its
needs and to furnish him with first
hand information as to how the
Gales program was being carried
out. No better way could be found,
he said. to destroy the calumnies
which are daily heaped upon Mexico.
Lauds Morrow
Morrow, Gales said, lis a very
intelligent man, a very thoughtful
man, a man Of deep understanding.
He is a man who has made himself
appreciated by all who have come in
contact with him in Mexico as we'll
as elsewhere.
Everywhere on this trip Ambas-
sador Morrow has received from the
masses of common people demon
strations OF their sympathy towards
him. / am happy that he is the
United States ambassador 70 Mexico
and that improvement in relations
between the two countries is being
effected.
During the trip Ambassador Nor
row and President Gales had many
private interviews but what was
discussed between them was not re-
vealed.
Gales, however, does not intend
to seek any foreign loans as had
been reported, because Of the deficit
which the government faces.
Il believe the country must be
reconstructed with its own resourc-
es," the president said. He declared
that the work will be slower with
out resorting to foreign aid but it
will be more worthy in the end.
Asked what he regarded as his
most difficult job. as president,
Gales replied: ITO be understood
yes, by that I mean both at home
and abroad"
He said the religious question
could be settled by obedience to the
laws and the constitution.

Recovered by Mata-
moros Police

With the arrest of a suspect in
Matamoros, his confession and the
recovery Of approximately $500
worth of alleged loot, local police be-
lieve they have put a stop to a series
Of barg1aries that have been going
on here for the past week. A second
suspect is being held on this side Of

later confessed to having broken into
four homes in Brownsville and 10 at
tempts on two others.
The suspect also led police of
ficials trom both sides Of the river

disposed Of the alleged stolen ar
ticles. "A majority Of the loot, con-
sisting of diamonds. watches, bar
pins, clothing Of all descriptions,
suitcases, grips, etc, was recovered
by this method, Lieut.. Armstrong
said. II is believed that only a few
articles Of lesser value are still miss
ing.
An attempt Is being made TO de-
port the man held in the Matamoros
jail TO this side Of the river, in order
that Cameron eounty's courts may
decide the issue.
The local suspect was captured by
police here Tuesday afternoon and
stoutly denies any connection with
the crimes, the officer said No ad-
mission concerning the identity Of
an accomplice has been made by the
youth held on the other side Of the
river, although he claims 70 have
had one, 10 was said.
Both suspects are OF the "jeny-
bean. type, young and flashily dress

Among the places known 20 have
been broken into by the thieves are
the homes Of A. G. Hipp, city con-
missioner; s. &. Graham. real estate
dealer; Frank Alcedo and Louise
Mora.
Nothing Of any value was obtained
