MEDIATORS PLAN ON INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY POLICE Sen"oul Cohsideration Being | @iven to Idea of Establish- ing Neutral Constabu- lary on Border. TALK IT OVER WITH BLISS Mexico Still Adheres to Its Ex- isting Constitution and Legal Codes. i BE i’ THIS IN DOUBT BEFORE New London, Conn., Sept. 14— Serious consideration is being g’iven by the American-Mexican joint com- mission to the idea of establishing some Sort of an international police or neutral constabulary along the Mexican border, it became known here today. As yet the propostion has not taken definite steps, but it is learned that the American commissioners, with whom the plan appear to be grow- ing in favor, talked it over last night with Major General Tasker H. Bliss and that they devoted part of today to- further conferences with him on this and other projects. During the joint conference today the commissioners were told that 3 Mexico still adheres to its existing i constitution and legal codes, a point on which there had been much doubt in the United States. Until August 1, last, the Mexican members said, the provisions of the constitution had been suspended by war power, but with the re-establishment of civil courts which began on that date, the old codes again became effective and would continue so until theyxcould be revised - through necessary constitu- tional amendments and acts of con- gress, 0ld Latta Home at Tekamah is Burned, Boy Loses His Life Tekamah, Neb., Selpn 14.—(Special.) —The home of the late Congressman James P.

When the boys were aroused they tried to get out by the stairway, but fire cut that avenue off and they procteded to the window and\Lydick jumped from the window to the porck to follow Rim. The boy fell back into. the room, however, and before he could be extricated he was so bad- 1y burned that he died thf inorning at 8 o'clock. The home was com- pletely gutted and the contents were either burned or ruined. It is thought that the fire was of an incendiary origin, as a smaJl blaze was-also dis- covered in the barn on the same lot. It was put out without damage. ————— e Spannell Pleads Not " Guilty to Murder Alpine; Tex., Sept. 14.—Harry J.

NN, FLrY, Servcky CORONER'S OFFICE MAY BE ABOLISHED Case is to Be Threshed Out Be- fore the Supreme Court at Lincoln Tuesday. BOTH SIDES STATE VIEWS Will the office of coroner be abol- ished and the duties of the office wished on the county attorneys throughout the state? Is the amendment passed by the last Nebraska legislature in keeping with the law when it wipes out the coroner’s position? - \ These questions will ‘be threshed out before~the supr coln Tuesday morning when the ap- pealed mandamus case of Coroner Crosby of Douglas county against Election Commissioner Moorhead on mandamus proceedings demanding that Crosby’s name be placed on the ballot, will be argued. Deputy Coun< ty Attorney Abbott will conduct the case for the state, while Attorney R. M. Switzler will appear for the coroner. Application for a writ of man- |damusywas refused when the case was tried before Judge Day in dis- | trict court. “The state constitution requires that when an act is amended the spe- cific statutes and provisions to be amended must be . specified. The amendment passed by the legislature in 1915 is faulty in,this respect when the case is argued before the supreme court we. will claim the act | not properly amended and therefore | ineffective,” said Attorney Switzler. _Ifieputy County A’ttorney Abbhott said: 31 Law Entirely New. “The contention of the county is that this law is not intended to amend the other laws now in force in regard to- county attorneys and coroners, but is merely adding some duties already prescribed by statute is a new and complete piece of legis- lation. Coroner Crosby contends that the new law is amendatory and therefore unconstitutional, because it does not mention the sections of the | statute which it intends to~repeal. That, however, is not necessary where the act is complete in itself and the controversy is over the question as to whether or not the new statute is amendatory or a complete act. “The county attorney also argues that the duties of the counfy attor- ney and county corener are not in- compatible, and therefore the law is not void for that reason. The county attorney has already won the case on ; | these points in the district court.” Bulger Is Given Sixty Days' Reprieve Denver, Colo., Sept. 14.—The State | Board of Pardons today granted a re- | prieve of sixty days-to the week be- 5 | ginning November 12 to James C. | Bulger, under death sentence in con- nection with the killing of Lloyd F.

REPLIES ARE UNEQUIVOCAL Washington, Sept. 14—Both Japan and Russia have given the United States formal assurances that the new Russo-Jdpanese treaty does not re- peal or affect the treaties of 1907 and 1910, in which the qalions pledged themselves to maintain the integrity of China and the open door policy. The assurances were given to Am- bassadors Guthrie at Tokio and Fran- cis at Petrograd, in response to in- quiries. The State department today received from Mr. Guthrie a note on the subject addressed to him by the Japanese foreign office, stating in un- equivocal terms that Japan had not for a moment entertained an inten- tion of departing front those policies. « Departtient officials let it be known that th .smtcment.wer,e.cndrely sat- isfactory and that inquiries regarding the new-treaty.over which they had been consideraby perturbed, probably would not be pressed further. B Text of Treaty Provisions. The treaties of 1907 and 1910 be- tween Japan and ~Russia affirmed China’s territorial integrity and the open door policy. Article 2 of the 1907 ‘treaty, which was reaffirmed with slightly different wording in the 1907 convention, reads: 3 “The two high contracting parties recognize the independence and terri- Ltorial integrity of the empire of China and the principle of equal opportun- ity in whatever concerns commerce and industries of all nations in that empire, and agree to sustain and de- fend the maintenance of the status que and respect for this principle by all the specific means within their reach.” Replies Unequivocal. | State department officials today ex- pressed complete satisfaction with the unequivocal reply made by Japan and the statement from the Russian for- eign office. They felt these assur- ances left no doubt as to the main- tenance of the open door policy and regard for American interests in China under the terms of the new Russo-Japanese treaty, although its text has not yet been made public. Officials expect that a copy of the 1 [new convention will be forwarded in | due course. “Kruppism” Opposed By German Alliance Grand Island, Neb,, Sept. 14.—(Spe- cial)—The German-American Alli- ance closed its seventh annual ses- sion here tonight.
