He is represented by At- torney Joseph Koletsky, who de- fended Olympia Macri of New Ha- ven during two sensational murder trials.

Mexico City, Aug. 13 (P—The Mexicon government now rules coal deposits national property as it re- cently declared petroleum to be the property of the nation and not to the landholder. The new mining laws, which have just gone into ef- fect by publication, declare that all | commercially valuable minerals and precious stones ‘sre the ‘property of the nation. These' laws will have a tremen- | dous effect on the mining industry of Mexico, in which hundreds of millions of dollars of AmPricanl money have been investigated. American mining men will be more or less at sea until the laws have been interpreted and actually ap-| plied, but apparently existing con- cessions will be affirmed or new con- cessions issued to cover such grants.

Councilman Sablotsky lead in the fight against railroading in the council and was named on the committee to look into the advisa- bility of enforcing this and several other rules of the council.
