Withdrew His Recognition. / IS PREPARING REPORT To Formulate Suggestions to} Our Government for Its a4 Future Conduct. By David Lawrence. | pecial Stal Correspondent of The Evening World. WASHINGTON, May 1 (Copyright, 1920).—Senator Fall of New Mexico, head of the sub-committee ‘of the) Senate which has for several months | been investigating the Mexican sit-) uation, is back in Washington with! his report virtually complete. He} ‘has just spent many weeks on the, border and brings back with him an conditions across the Rio Grande as obtained | from Mexicans and Americans, some of whom testified publicly and others | “I am not surprised,” said Senator Fall, “at the outbreak in Mexico, I did not, however, expect the revolt to come so soon. Of course; I never | ‘believed there would be an election this year, even in the Mexican sense. ‘The various leaders in the different States which have at no time recog: | nized the Carranza Government are | quick to take advantage of the out-| break in Sonora and the result is| that throughout the Republic, with | few exceptions, the country is in revolution. | ““T think that had the Senate passed my resolution and had our Govern- ment withdrawn recognition from the | Carranza Government as I proposed reveral months ago, we would be now in a better position to deal fairly with all factions, The Carranza Govern- ment wouldn't stay in power twenty- four hours if we withdrew recogni-- tion.” MEXICANS TIRED OF UNSTABLE GOVERNMENT. | ‘The Senator was asked if he had ‘ny preferences among the Mexican I “a \ “T have none,” was his reply. “Lt .Gen. Obregon or even Carranza him- self were to enter into an agreement with our Goverment, guaranteeing the obligations which we have long see unfulfilled, I personally would not object to our Government helping} Mexico through either one. But we must not extend recognition again | without being sure that American | interests will be fully protected. “I really believe the people of Mex- aco are go sick and tired of revolution that they would welcome American aid. And as between loang and finan- | cial aid by American private concerns and a Government loan, I would rather | see our Government extend the aid it- | self so that there would be no mis- | understanding or misoonstruing our motives. The people themselves are worn out by revolution and many of the Mexican witnessés tell us that the Mexican people would welcome Amer- ican help. They would prefer Amer- n assistance to the Carranza régime.” The New Mexican Senator puinted out, however, that his committee had wot yet formulated its recommenda- tions but Would surely have some ecnerete proposals to lay before the Benate, The report probably will be presented before the first of June. It will include a list of the Americans killed or injured during the entire period of revolutionary disturbance, a list of American claims, an estimate of damages done American property, and a comprehensive outline of what secms to have been the cause of the periodic revolutions and what would appear to be the remedy. Sugges- tions for the American Government's policy in the future will be the main feature of the report, though much of the data will have been assembled for the first time for the use of the Gov. ernment and the public, Senator Fall is inclined to think the Carranza Government is up against a hopeless task in Sonora, where the Mexicans seem determined to main- tain an independent State Govern- ment unless they can force the Car- ranza Administration out of powér. It will be recalled that Senator Fali left Washington for the border shortly after his conference with President Wilson in the sickroom of the White House and just after his conferences | with Secretary Lansing. Indeed, those | gonferences between Senator Fall and Mr. Tansing are generally believed to have had a good deal to do with the President's displeasure with his Sec- retary of State. From the White Ftouse ewpoint they constituted “collusion” between the Department of State and the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee, but from the Con- gressional viewpoint they appeared to be the best evidence of co-operation ‘between the two branches of Govern- ment that had manifested itself dur- the Wilson Administration, just what was the plan of the De- partment of State at the time has never been disclosed, though many observers have supposed that Secre- tary Lansing believed the Senate Committee could do a great deal to-| 1 ward impressing the Mexican Gov- ernment with the seriousness of its attitude toward the Mexican question, something that diplomatic exchanges through Ambassador Fletcher had not to accomplish either be- cause of the indifference cf the Mexi- cans or the failure of the Wilson Ad- ministration to deal drastically with ithe Government below the Rio Rvande, The President himself took the whole, business out of Mr. Lansing's hands, and at the same time warned ‘the Senate Committee that its rasolu- tion about withdbawing recognition ‘was entirely outside of Congressional risdiction. ‘The Senate Committee gone ahead, however, with its in estigation and now proposes to lay all the facts before the American peo- @7O RIVERSIDE DRIVE . MAYOR PLANS CITY PLANTS 10 RELIEVE RUBBISH NUISANCE Promises res as West Side Gasps for Air in Cloud of Ashes and Dirt. Following revelations in The Eve- ning World of conditions prevailing in the streets of the Upper Wést Side, Mayor Hylan to-day announced that he intends calling a meeting of the Board of Estimate next Thursday to “take what I hope will be the first steps in the final settlement of the entire ashes and rubbish removal sit- uation.” Yesterday when confronted with al- tegutions of hotel owners that they were being forced to. pay for the hauling away of ashes and rubbish the Mayor announced that he “did not propose to be stampeded by such complaints.” . Mayor Hylan to-day said he has plans for city owned plants and equipment for the disposal of ashes, rubbish and garbage, as “the city is tired of being at the mercy of a ring of contractors, who think they can charge what prices they please,” Investigation by The Evening World yesterday disclosed the fact that on the upper west side ash- clogged cellars, streets littered with wind-blown paper and refuse from the big dumps at 77th Street and 96th Street are common, Many private owners were found wiho stated that they have been compelled to employ private trucks to remove the accumu- |Hation af ashes and rubbish which the city had failed to remove. ‘As a resident of Riverside Drive described the ash and garbage sit- uation: “If an ash cart turned into the Drive, a Paul Revere would spread the good news all the way to the Harlem.” Said M. Sarle, Vice Presi- dent of Earle & Calhoun, No, 212 West 72d Street, which firm manages twenty-five artment houses be- tween 65th Street and 126th ‘Street, the Hudson River and Central Park West: “All winter long we have been fight- ing in our houses to keep ashes and other rubbish ftom accumulating in the cellars and on the sidowalks. me after time we have been forced ‘o éale in the afd of private trucks, ng from $3 upward. per load the stuff removed. There we 3 during the winter that we were glad to pay anything. “Of late there has been some slight improvement—much ofpit due to the efforts of the owners and agents themselves—but thé service given by the department still falls far short of what it should be. INVESTIGATION SHOWS PEOPLE HAVE LEGITIMATE KICK. On Riverside Drive and cross- streets of the district the investiga~ tors found conditions pretty much as described by Mr. Earle and others, In front of No. 260 West 72d Street, an apartment house, twelve barrels , 80 that the responsibility for vio- of American rights may be termined Sean ae hy publicity. filled with ashes were noted. They had been there since the day before, Johm Conroy, 41 building, said that collections by the city are made two or three times a week, Further west, on 72d Street, in front of the house occupied by L. Hudson, a number of barrels were standing, together with a largé bun- dle of rubbish. It was stated at the house, No. 308 West 72d Street, that eight ‘cans of ashes were stored in the cellar and had been for days, waiting the arrival of the ash carts. This was but one of several houses on this block where eimilar,conditions prevailed, On the Drive itself north ‘of 724 Street, conditions were little better. As one drew near to the dump at 77th Street and the Hudson River, which| is under the charge of Robert Hicks, the presence of scraps of paper lit- tering the street became noticeable. In the park below the Drive the) shrubbery and trees were filled with} bits of paper, rags and the like, blown | there by the high winds of the last| few days. The railroad tracks of the New York Central at the foot of the ‘hill were almost buried under drifts of paper and scraps of r: blown from the huge dump. Clouds of dust | swirled upward from the dump and| coated persons passing on the Drive. At the dump it was explained that sixteen ash carts and eight paper carts are being operated out of there in the district, These had piled up ashes and refuse which the scows were unable to haul away swiftly enough to keep the heap from becom- ing obnoxious to the surrounding neighborhood. The city employees there were well acquainted with the fact that scores of protests against the presence of this dump and that at 96th Street, have been made, Said one inspector who asked that his name be with- held: “What are you going to do about it? You got to put the stuff somewhere and we can’t eat it, can we?” Further up the Drive, outside of the immediate vicinity of the 77th Street dump, conditions began to improve slightly, although ir scores of loca~ tions, some of them the biggest and most elaborate of the apartment houses of that section, from two to two dozen barrels of ashes were counted on the sidewalks, and in places, such as the Hendrick Hudson, Riverside Drive and Cathedral Park- way, huge piles of ashes were stored in courtyards, alleys and cellars. At the last named place the engineer of the building pointed out a pile of coal ashes which he said had been in the courtyard between the main building and the annex, which fronts on the Cathedral Parkway, since Jan- uary. In another smaller court was yet another heap, and another was Stored in the cellar. “There must be a good 150 cart- loads of the stuff,” declared the en- gineer, “and we've sent out seventy cartloads ourselves in the last ten days at a big cost to the manage- ment.” He added that the department “is, taking the stuff away pretty regular naw, but it will be weeks before we get rid of the accumulation of the winter.” Before the Board of Bstimate yes- terday Frank J. K. Bolan, represent- Ing ‘hotel owners, said tat the hotels had been forced ‘to pay an additional $2,000 a month for several months past to get their ashes and rubbish | cause of the the break-down | removed, owing to of the city service. In common with the apartment house owners the hotel men have been calling in private trucks to keep abreast with the ash production of thelr properties, M'STAY TELLS WHY CONDITION EXISTS AND MAKES THREAT. When the situation was laid before Street Cleaning Commissioner Mac- Stay in his office yesterday afternoon | he sald: “It is very true iia? wa tats baal somewhat behindhand with our ash | removal this spring, but I believe | that for the most part the people of the city realize what the department is up against. i of the Wsatigtepmca tt or ENATOR FALL SEES. PRotoprapke Show — Over West ‘Side Is Smothered in Ashes and Loose Rubbish recall a bit of city history. Up until comparatively recent times the city never had to tackle ‘the question of. ash disposal, The work of the depart- ment under former Commissioners began and ended with the removal of ashes from the front of the houses. ‘Then, on March 31, 1918, the tirm of Daly & Ivins, which had been tiand- ling that job for the city, blew up, and that forced us to commandeer their plant at Riker’s Island. Later we bought from the receivers of the firm seven bottom dumpers at a total cost of $43,260. These were worth ap- proximately $157,000, being almost new and having been made expressly for the work in hand. “About this time too the New York | Sanitary Utilization Company went | out of commission, throwing upon the city the work of garbage disposal. ‘That means that the department must haul every pound of garbage pro- duced in this city nineteen miles out s means that the Department of Street’ Cleaning 1s in the throes of reorganization. We are going some- thing that has not een done before by the city, and naturally there has een some hitch in the movement of | the refuse “I have ‘said It before and I expect to say it again—the city has not suf- ficient modern equipment to handle the job as it should be handled. “On the whole we have had fow complaints. ‘The Riverside'Drive peo- ple have kicked about the fires at) the 77th Street dump, claiming that | they endangered the property on the drive. That's absurd, but to be on the safe side I have ordered the burning of paper at that dump stopped. “If those people keep on knocking me and this department I'll do what Col. Waring did—I'N stop collections up there and let them yell their heads off, “The bill to abolish those dumps is now up to the Mayor. I don’t know what he'll do with it, of course. “The only solution of the state of affairs that I can see is for the city to build covered dumps of steel, in- stead of wood, and to give the de- partment covered carts. We have 1,500 men at work in the department, with antequated equipment, but de- spite that the streets are th good con- dition—in fairly good condition.” Commjssioner MacStay said that while the full figures for snow re- moval last winter have not been made out, he estimated that the storms of last winter cost the city approxi- mately $5,500,000. sche ho dA SPLIT IN LEGION : ON BONUS GROWS Organization Formed to Fight Leg- islation, Notwithstanding State | Commander’s Appeal. | } ‘The New York Department of thi American Legion, Wade ,H.
