Policy of* the United
States in Matter of
Recognition of Mexico
Washington. The United States is
not 'going to extend recognition to
Mexico on mere promises of protection
rights. This Government must have
something more than personal assur
ances of Mexican officials that all will
be well with Americans in Mexico in
the future.
There has been no change in the
American policy towards Mexico since
Jecretary of State Hughes stated the
position of the Covet nmect many
months ago.
That position requires that Mexico
^nter into a treaty with the United
States Government providing for guar7
tnty of protection to American lives
3nd jiroperty rights and providing fur
ther for adjustment of claims resulting
from past outrages.
Today the United States stands just
where it stood at the outset of the
Harding administration, and recogni
tion must come through a treaty.
There will be no recotrnition and then
the negotiation of a treaty afterwards.
The United States says in effect to
Mexico:
“Nogotiate with us now a treaty of
guaranty to protect American lives and
proj>erty and that treaty automatically
will constitute recognition of your gov
ernment.”
The foregoing was disclosed here
Saturday in an authoritative quarter.
?he:j>osition-of the Government was re
iterated as a result of current reports
that recognition of Mexico was believed
to be iipminent.

Plan Restitution to
an Innocent Lifer
Columbus, O.—A movement is on
foot by members of the Ohio Legisla
ture to have the State make financial
restitution to Carl Papenfuss, the (>2
year-old Toledo man, recently pardoned
from thuChio penitentiary by Governor
Davis, after haviog served six years of I
a life sentence for a crime which he did
not commit. J
Representative H. S. Atkinson, of j
Columbus, minority floor leader iti the j
last general assembly, announced that
he favored such action and that a large i
number of members of the legislature J
were interested in the movement.
“The mere payment of money cannot j
recompense him,” Representative At-j
kinson said, “for the loss of liberty and ,
anguish of soul, but, so far as it can,
the State ought to see that he receives
a comfo-'taide cum. Teh thousand dol
lars 5 little enough to ;ti'’e this nun,
who has served six years behind prison
bars without cause.’5
Papenfuss was convicted of having
illegally attacked his daughter, who
was the . tar witness agaiust him. The
daughter recently admitted having
testified falsely at the command of her
mother, now dead, and Papenfuss was
granted a pardon immediately. He re
turned to his home at Toledo, where
the Wabash railroad gave him the job
he had held for thirty years before
being arrested.
Get ‘Rep/ Jeff Tells
Pulpit Challenger
Los Angeles.—“Co get a reputa- i
tion.”
That was the reply Saturday night
of Jances J. Jeffries, former boxing
champion, who proposes to lecture on
religion, to the challenge of the Rev.
Dr. P. P. Dunlop, Chicago evangelist,
to a ten-round spiritual bout.
“How many knockouts of the world,
the flesh and the devil can he claim
with verified records?” asks Jeffries.
“This Rev. Mr. Dunlop, -i take it, has
been fighting the devil a long time,
but the devil is still in the ring, and so
is sin. Why should he obiect if I want
a crack at ’em?”
Jeffries said he is not going to be an
evangelist, but that he plans to deliver
a message to the men of the world and
attempt to make Christ real to the
public. _
Katalla Produces 1200;
Barrels Oil Monthly
Cordova.—In the Katalla oil field,
the only known oil producer in Alaska,
the Chilkat Oil Company now has 11
wells, producing 1200 barrels a month
of high grade paraflihe base oil, which
is being used for motive power on
Prince William Sound, supplying the
canneries and ether industries.
The Chilkat Company also has a re
finery in operation at Katalla, saving
24 by-products, including the market
ing of the best quality of kerosene.
The company at present is engaged
.n drilling another well, and is down
450 feet. Two drillers arrived from
Los Angeles r« cently to push the work
of drilling.
A recent letter received at Fairbanks
from San Francisco states that Bill Mc
Phee has partially recovered his sight
as the i osult of an operation. Rill Bays
he called^ on Henry Rav, at Morning
side, on the way to California, and
f und that his mind was a blank as far
as Alaska was concerned. The old
time*. was working nights at the asy
lum and appeared to be contented. No
hope is entertained, however, for his
recovery^

Kilbane Gives French^
Promoters Some Shock
Paris.—Johnny Kilbane, of Cleve
land, world’s champion featherweight
pugilist, announced last night to a
group of French sportsmen that he was
willing to meet Eugene Criqui, French
bantamweight champion, at any time.
Their enthusiasm over the proposed
meeting vanished, however, when* KW'
bane reminded the sportsmen that box
ing was his profession and that he had
received for his last fight the equiva*
lent of 700,000 francs, an amount nearly
double the total receipts of the biggest
recent bouts.
Says American Women Leeches.
New York.—-'Our American women
are leeches—they dominate the Amer
ican man,” says l\ Scott Fitzgerald,
author of “The Beautiful and the
Damned.”
“They are a useless fourth genera
tion. trading on pioneer great-grand
mothers. Work is the salvation for
all, even if we work to forget there is
nothing to work for. Just being in
love- really in love—is* work enough
for any woman.”
Fitzgerald also says New York is
going crazy—that night life, since pro
hibition, goes on as never before.
