with visits to the floating gardens,
pyramids and other points of in
terest, including 312 mile trip
to Acapulco on the west. coast,
which is termed the Rivera of Mex
leo, the journey being unique. for
after crossing out of the pine belt
at an altitude OF 10000 feet one
rapidly descends over a very good
highway 10 the contrasting vegeta-
ton of the tropics among pineapple
and banana groves and other trop-
ical crops.
Highway Not Open
Regarding the much publicized
tourist route from Laredo, Texas,
to Mexico City. and which was sup
posed TO be open to traffic several
months ago, Campbell states that
it is not yet completed and very
dangerous road at present and
should not be attempted by tour
lists under any circumstances, al
though tie government is reputed
to have 10000 men working on it
and hopes to open it for traffic by
August l of this year.
An unusual feature of this sec
tor and something that adds TO
the hazard of driving, are banks of
clouds that drift by and limit the
visibility both day and night. On
account of the risk this route was
not attempted by Campbell
detour of 300 miles being made over
a dirt road via San Luis PotoSi and
Sautillo and thence to Monterey,
from which city there is a good
paved road for $50 miles to Laredo
On the border.
Discussing economic conditions
Campbell said it was noticeable
throughout the entire trip that the
government was putting forth un-
usual efforts to provide school ia
cilities even in the most isolated
districts and in large cities such
as Hermosillo, MaZatlan and Quad
alajara, large expenditures have
been made in providing civic CEN
ters, including swimming pools, bail
grounds and athletic fields.
It was also noted that there Is
a real building boom in Mexico
City, many of the old buildings be-
ing torn down and replaced with
modern structures, the new build
ings being of the most substantial
character. constructed Of brick or
hard stone.
The great cattle haciendas OF
Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and
Coahuila were practically devoid OF
stock and have been so, according
to reports, since the revolutionary
activities of 1851.
General business con d ttonS
throughout the country seem very
good, especially in the great silver
mining districts Of Guanajato, San
Luis Potosi and others which are
very active on account Of the rise
in silver prices.

said, "and some day will be popu-
lar one with thousands of Ameri-

BILL PROVIDES
PROTECTION IN
APPEAL CASES

LOS ANGELES, April II. U.P)-
California today took steps to mend
its criminal code and guard against
a repetition of the "mistake hang
hanging" of Rush Griffin, 19-year-
old Negro slayer.
Augustus F. Hawkins, Los Ange-
les assemblyman, prepared a bill
which would require Today notice
to lower courts of an impending ex-
ecution. An answer would be man
datory, stating whether an appeal
had been filed.
Griffin was hanged at San Quen-
tin prison although an appeal,
which would have automatically
stayed execution. had been filed
four days earlier in lower courts.
The appeal was found in clerk Is
desk after announcement had been
made of the young slayer's death.
His attorney, Public Defender Rich
ard H. Bird, said he knew nothing
of the execution until he read about
it in newspapers.
Judge Charles w. Fricke, who
sentenced Griffin. reprimanded
Bird for neglect, and charged pris-
on officials also had neglected to
inform Warden James B. Holohan
OF San Quentin when a notice of
appeal was forwarded to the prison.
A grand jury also investigated
but made no recommendation.

UNIONS WELD
SEAMEN INTO
SOLID GROUP

SEATTLE, April II ap The
Maritime Federation of the Pacific,
purged of asserted trouble-makers,
continued today toward adoption of
constitution that would solidify
$4,000 workers into a powerful
smooth-working machine.
The month-old oil tanker strike,
increasing in tension, awaited ac-
ton by the 100 delegates, represent
ing 26 unions. Approval of the con-
stitution, drafted under direction of
Harry Bridges, San Francisco long
shoreman leader, would call for a
vote by all union marine workers
on support of the seamen.
Meanwhile, q strike of Seamen
against Weyerhaeuser Timber COM
pany ships was settled quickly at
Tacoma. when the firm granted pay
increases averaging S5 a month.
Election of several delegates seek
ing to "discredit the federation" fol-
lowed the second days session. Their
credentials were cancelled.
Chairman E. B. O'Grady, San
Francisco, said the men carried
guns, supposedly to give an un-
favorable public impression of the
meeting. rather than for any con-
templated violence.
O'Grady refused TO say how many
delegates were ouSted, what unions
or what cities they represented. They
were reported to be extreme, left
wing agitators.
O'Grady said discussion proved
mo particular faction is seeking to
gain control of the federation"
statement calculated to clear
Bridges, organizer of the 1884 San
Francisco general strike.
Delegates were not expected to
consider seriously proposal to draft
timber and lumber workers and
teamsterS into the federation.
The constitution would make a
majority of all workers included in
the body necessary to either call or
end a strike. A vote in support of
the seamen against oil tankers
would call a marine strike equaling
or surprising in scope that of last
year.

whether there was any connection
between the blast and the strike of
