Afterward the Acting Secretary of State said he | had been negotiating with the Mexican government, but that he could not dis- cuss the negotiations. Senator Connally subsequently is- sued @ statement in which he expressed an opinion that the Mexican govern- ment would “certainly not be so blind as to persist” in its course. What this course might be beyond keeping the consulate closed was not revuled “The Mexican government,” he said, “will certainly not be so blind as to | persist in a course of conduct which is (s riously injuring not alone the trade | | and commerce of Laredo, but of the en- | tire_United States and Mexico as well. shall continue to keep in touch with the State Department and urge American citizens by, insisting that | Mexico shall withdraw its acts of re- pfl.llll and disclimination.” Rallroads holding freight for move- | ment to Mexito near Laredo were authorized today by the Interstate Commerce Commission to route it by way of Brownsville and Eagle Pass, | This action was taken to prevent fur- ther congestion and to expedite move- ment of freight and is applicable to the Missouri Pacific, the International- Great Northern, the Texas - Mexican and the Texas and New Orleans rail- roads. ‘The commission ordered that the rate over the authorized route should be the same as that through Laredo, except where the Laredo rate would be higher. and Stucco Garages. materials and worl n-h Fully guaranteed. 1205 Eye St New Noiseless Nok“l Automatic Oil Burner THE PERFECT HEATER You are paying for all the ease and comfort of Nokol automatic heat while you are burning coal.
