OHID WOULD TEST LAKE DRAINAGE LAW State Serves Warning of Legal Action if Congress Enacts Bill. By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 10.—Attorney General Gilbert Bettman Saturday served notice that if Congress enacts the pending bill designed to regulate the amount of water Chicago may draw from Lake Michigan Yor sewage or navigation purposes, Ohio, as one of the ‘gmm.smg Great Lakes States, will test its constitutionality in the courts. Betterman's warning was contained in a letter to Semator A. H. Vanden- burg of Michigan, who is fighting to have a definite amount of water which Chicago may draw from Lake Michigan stated in the bill. The Senator sug- gested 1,500 cubic feet a second. Possible Renewal of Fight. Should the bill be passed in its pres- ent form authorizing in one place & diversion “the smallest flow of water which sald project can be practically maintained,” and in another place stating that “nothing in this act shall be construed as authorizing any diver- sion of water from Lake Michigan” Betterman said the Lake States will have to fight the batle all over again in the courts. “I believe it is danger- ous for the Lake States to allow this meaningless language” to stay in the bill, he said. The Ohio attorney general also de- clared Aumy engineers mnow have changed their position on the matter of diversion. Major. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief of the Army engineers, he said, took the position before the House rivers and harbors committee in April that 1,000 cubic feet of water a second was all that was necessary for the Illinois watewray. Now he said the engineers are objecting to any fixed limit, even to the 1500 cubic feet proposed by the Michigan Senator. Favors States’ Compact. Instead of Congress passing any bill fixing the amount of water that may be withdrawn, Mr. Betterman said he intends to revive his proposal made to the Secretary of War some time 8go, that the Lake States themselves agree u a compact for limitation. This, he declared, is the only constitutional way to handle the matter, contending that “Congress has no authority with- out our consent to take the property rights of Ohio’s citizens in the natural ‘water level of Lake Erie.” NEW FRENCH LINER ON MAIDEN U.

By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, May 19.—The Mexi- can department of industry, commerce and labor announced Saturday that the remaining applications by large oil com- panies in Mexico for confirmation of ! their land and subsoll rights will be act- ied upon within two months. ! Negotiations to this end were begun by Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow when he came as envoy to Mexico in 1927. The department’s statement explained observers as presaging increased opera- tions in Mexico by many companies that have curtailed operations pending con- firmation of their titles. As a result of Mr. Morrow’s repre- sentations the Mexican government in December, 1927, changed the petroleum law so0 that companies, instead of having to apply for new land and subsoll grants, could apply for confirmation of titles held to the drawing up of the 1917 constitution. Such confirmations were to run in perpetuity. FETm BOLIVIA QUICKLY SHIFTS TO SECOND NEW CABINET Only One Hold-Over Qualifies When Ministers Are Sworn and Assume Duties. By the Asscclated Press.
