Telegraphic advices from Mexico
City during the past few days have
brought news of official action to-
ward the stabilization Of the Mex
ican monetary situation. Former
President Plutarco Elias Gales is
reported as having been named
president of the Bank of Mexico,
superceding Don Alberto Mascar-
enas as director general. Other re-
ports deny that Mascarenas will be
replaced but that the former presi-
dent will merely act in an advisory
capacity.
Under the reported plan of re-
organization of the monetary sys-
tenn the silver peso would become
the standard Of currency, gold as a
medium being abolished with gold
coin being taken out of circulation.
The plan provides that all bills con-
tracted for payment in gold will now
be payable, peso for peso, in silver.
The Bank of Mexico, it is re-
ported, will retire from commercial
banking business and become pri-
marily federal reserve bank.
Another report concerning the
financial situation was to. the effect
that expectation and importation
duties on both gold and silver would
be suspended by the government
with view Of increasing production
of those metals throughout the re-
public and stimulating the mining

u. S. CONSUMES 5O% WORLD
TIN OUTPUT; PRODUCTION
LESS THAN ONE PER CENT

Tin is the only metal Of which the
United States annually consumes
more than $2O,O00,00O worth and
yet remains e. negligible producer,
points out the United States Bur,
eau Of Mines, Department Of Com
n1erce. In fact, the value of the tin
annually imported for consumption
ranges from $60,000,000 to over $780,
100000 and accounts for alInos5 half
Of the world production. Annual do
1Glestic production is valued at less
than $4,000 and amounts to less
than one-twentieth of 1 per cent
eof the worlds total output
The principal in-consunaing in
duStries are food packing, automo-
bile manufacture, and building. The
packing Of food is relatively stable
from year to year and may be
counted upon to absorb a fairly
constant quantity OF tin plate and
solder but the automobile industry
is subject to wide variation in the
number Of units produced, says
Charles White Merrill, in a recently
issued Bureau Of Mines report.
If the recovery of secondary tin
that is, the production of tin from
sources other than ore-were in
cluded with primary production, the

! United States would rank third a.

Of the world. Tin bearing alloys, tin
plate clippings and melting-pot
dresses are the most important ma
terials from which tin is reclaimed
Most of the tin recovered from al
loys does not pass through re-

alloys which are brought to the re-

Most of the tin plate entering the
reclaiming processes consists of

Eggs Honored
With Place In
Cornerstone
Texas Horned TOads
Scorned In Defeating
New State Building

SACRAMENTO, July 28 CUP)-
A good many things have been bur-
led in cornerstones, including Tex
as famous horned toad and inum-
cradle mortgages, gavels, trowels
and such things, but not even the
Chinese, well known aged-egg fan
ciers, have ever placed eggs in cor
nerStones.
Precisely this was done, however,
when the cornerstones of the two
new agricultural buildings at the
State Fair Grounds here were dedi-
Gated recently.
In another cornerstone a number
of seeds were placed, in an attempt
to duplicate the feat of Egyptians
who placed seeds in King T>ut's
tomb. The seeds removed from the
ancient Egyptian rulers tomb still
possessed terminating qualities, and
it is expected that future genera
tions will find the 1880 seeds as we'll
preserved.
The eggs, likewise, are expected to
bear up well for several years-at
least as far as the shells are con-
cerned.
No matter what happens to the
contents, the shells are believed ca
pable of remaining intact almost in
definitely. =

ElPasoan May
Be Executed In
Chihuahua City
Friends Charge He Is A
Victim Of Race
Prejudice

Eel. PASO, Tex, July 28 O.P9-
Claiming he is the victim of race
prejudice, friends Of William j.
Meers, 2s, of El Paso, are putting
forth every effort to save him from
the death sentence at Chihuahua
City, Mex, for the murder of a
Jnarez waiter.
A report to high government Of
ficialS of the United States states
that his death sentence, pronounced
simultaneously with acquittal Of an
Oklahoma deputy sheriff for the
Staying of two Mexican youths-one
a cousin of President Ortiz Rubio
of Mexico-indicate that the judge
of the Chihuahua criminal court was
influenced by the Ardmore killings.
First Death Penalty
Officials at Juarez, across the
border in Mexico. said they could
not remember when the death SEN
tence has been meted out for mur-
der in Chihuahua. Judge Francisco
Davilla Navarro pronounced the
death sentence late in June, a few
hours before an Oklahoma jury re-
turned verdict of acquittal Of a
deputy sheriff in the Staying of two
Mexican youths The death SEN
tence was pronounced despite the
suggestion of district attorney that
a sentence of 20 years impriSon-
ment be given.
Congressman r. E. Thomson OF
Ell Paso has enlisted the aid of the
State Department to gain clemency
for the youth. Attorneys have ap-
pealed the sentence to the Chihua-
hua state supreme court. Many tele-
grams have come to Gov. Andres
Ortiz of Chihuahua from United
States residents beseeching that the
death sentence be committed.
May Face Firing Squad
On the other hand, kilograms
and letters are being directed TO
Governor Ortiz by Mexican labor
and student organizations asking
that he take no part in commut-
ing the sentence. but allow the
American youth to face a firing
squad.
Meers was convicted CT killing An
tonic Visconti, a Juarez waiter, IN

noted border character, who alleged

attempted holdup Of a payroll IN

tured in Mexico but the Mexican
authorities refused to surrenoer mn

also served a number Of years IN
the capacity of postmaster at NO
