News. Copyright, 1022, PARIS, May 27.—Premier Poin- care is about to propose to the American State Department that France and the United States should take publicly a common stand on the Russian question. He considers that he is not too stringently bound by the Genoa resolutions to prevent him from fully accepting American sugges- tions. He favors two courses: (1) Limitation of the meeting at The Hagde to a strictly technical examination of the questions of Russian public and private debts and the private property of fo eigners for the purpose of reach- ing a common agreement which would only afterward be present- ed to the Russians, who would take no direct part in these ne- gotiations. (2) Sending of an impartial ex pert economic commission of in- vestigation to Russia, including Russian members.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Thorough™ examination of all the facts and officlal communications be- tween Mexico and the United States relative to recognition of the Obregon government leads only to an inex- plicable attitude on the part of the Mexican authorities. Why do they hesitate to grant the simple requests of the Department of State for a reciprocal understanding? All sorts of curious impressions seem to have been spread about to the effect that the United States was demanding something extraordinary, something which would offend Mexi- can pride and sovereignty to accept. It has even been stated that the United States is not satisfied to get an assurance that all titles to proper- ty held prior to the adoption of the Mexican constitution in May, 1917, shall be valid, but is asking for the validation of titles to property ac- quired since that date. This statement is absolutely without foundation. No Demand for Ownership. Slmlhrly.\lt has been bandied about in Mexican-American circles that the United States wanted the right for Americans to own land on the same terms as Mexicans.

Prime Minister Lloyd George was understood to have delayed his departure for a week end rest at Chequers Court to preside over the meeting. How seriously the issue is regarded n some quarters is evidenced by the comment of the Times parliamentary This part of the agreement, accord- ing to news received this mornin does not appear to have been cate- gorically accepted by Chancellor Wirth and the optimism created by the understanding reached with Herr Hermes has somewhat diminished.

CONNEAUT, Ohio, May 27.—A world yecord for political maneuv- ering {s believed to have been es- tablished here last night. Dur- ing the progress of the “game” three men held the office of mayor within ten minutes. One was mayor twice, while during the entire night three were at various times mayor, council president, president pro tem and councilman at large. This record was the outcome of the recent decision of the Ohio su- preme court holding that public officials of municipalities of more than 2,000 population Who were nominated by petition on an inde- pendent ticket held their offices iI- legally. The decision affected every official of this city. The result was that a special session of the coun- d’;‘h'.u cll::g‘ '-; dflnd a way out. way luded the resignation of Mayor D. 8. Brace, City Auditor B. A. Palmer, Coun dent James 8. O’Connor and the mem- bers of the city council. The Ses- sion resul in a’deluge of resig- ns that came through at such 8 rate as almost to cause the clerk nervous prostration. But it served its purpose, as when it was all over each official had been auly elected to office through th - nels utilized in fllln“ vl::::t;:l that take place in a regular man ner and his title to the job he orig- inally was elected to had been per- re_filed. a e president I councll, 8 R Findiey: Tesignon: Then Mayor Brace guit.

Justice Seeger signed today's order for Ward's release immediately after the hearing, and the baker's attorneys at once started foryWhite Plains to produce the $50,000 bail and get their client out of jail. Demands Bail Increase. Mr. Weeks did not oppose the bail’ motion, but insisted that it be placed at $50,000, “merely to assure the people of Westchester county that Ward would be produced when he was wanted by the authorities.” ‘WHITE PLAINS, N.

Approved by Commissioners. The District Commissioners would welcome legislation, such as sug- gested by Representative Keller, giv- ing the city heads broader poyer in dealing with local questions. Commissioner Rudolph stated today that none of the members of the House District committee had taken up the suggestion with him yet and that he has no information as to the particular function in which it is suggested to broaden the authority now vested in the Commissioners. Speaking generally, he said, there are a number of instances through- out the District government of mat- ters of comparatively little interest to Congress, but which require con- gressional action. Bngineer Commissioner Keller con- curred in the opinion of Mr. Rudolph that there no doubt are many ac- tivities connected with the admin- istration of municipal affairs that could be dealt with more expedi- tiously by the Commissioners if the pproval of Congress was not re quired. ' striking Example Cited. One striking example of some of the unimportant questions for which the Commissfoners must go to Congress for approval is in the naming of streets. Under existing law the Com- missioners have authority to name a new street originally, but they cannot change that name later if such action seems desirable. 3 It citizens in_ a certain locality want the name /6t a street changed for any Treason they must have logisiation introduced in Congress and go through the slow process of approval by both House: The Commissioners might also be given authority to close old and aban- doned roads which are no longer of much jce, but which must malintained as long as they are open.
