MEXICO CITY, Nov. 28. —Resigna-
tion of Secretary of Agriculture Vil-
lareal last night followed several weeks
of attacks on his attitude concerning
the agrarian law He appeared before
Congress several times to defend his
policy after the expropriation of prop-
erty owned in Mexico by Spaniards.
Presient Obregon has taken no ac-
tion on the secretary's resignation,
and there is no intimation who his suc-
cessor will be.
A note issued to the newspapers of
Madrid by the Mexican minister there
early this month stated that President
Obregon had ordered the formation of
a valuation commission for Indemnifi-
cation of all persons whose property
in Mexico had been expropriated in
villages where such action was deemed
necessary to the welfare of the popu-
lotion.

is billiards about to undergo another
revolutionary change? The question
is furnishing a lively topic for debate
about the clubs and rooms. There is
the opinion that the mastery of th*
18.2 balk line method isat hand. Once
more American ingenuity appears to
have solved the problem of almost
limitless runs after having been shown
the basic mechanics of the possibility
by Edouard Horemans, the Belgian
professional.
The opinion appears to prrevail that
the world’s championship now in prog-
ress in Chicago is likely to furnish a
partial answer. Every one of the com-
petitors has put together massive
runs. Jake Schaefer made 187. Willie
Hoppe 186, Welker Cochran 172, and
so on under conditions not entirely
favorable to the topmost flights of ac-
complishment.
Now along comes John G. Hemmer

I most experts of Chicago, who expresse
themselves in the Billiards Magazine
as follows:

WASHINGTON, Nov 29 - Modifica-
tion of the consent decree under which
the so-called "big five” packers agreed
to their separation from unrelated in-
dustries was urged today before a spe-
cial government commission by Ver-
non •Campbell, general manager of the
California Co-Operative Canners’ As-
sociation. Characterising the decree
as an ’economic mistake without legal
foundation." Mr. Campbell asserted it
had caused a tremendous loss to west-
ern fruit growers and canners.
"If our canneries had been burned
the Ines would not have been so great,”
declared M r Campbell. ”Our markets
were taken away overnight, resulting
in an actual loss of millions and poten-
tial damage that is hard to calculate.”
Mr. Campbell charged that the De-
partment of Justice, before agreeing
to the decree, made no investigation
ar tn the light* (of fruit growers and
canners. '
It is something of
dren, stating that he had merely re-
marked to a reporter that such an
order might be advisable in certain
circumstances.
As to forcing Mrs. Caccidente to
submit to such an operation, that was
farthest from my mind,” he said.
I Mra Caasidente was tailed before
Judge Graham, sitting In the juvenile
court here, Saturday on complaint of
Denver social workers, to show cause
why her children should not be re-
moved from her custody, the complaint
alleging that the Cassidente home was
filthy and that the children had been
neglected and undernourished.
During the hearing one of the wit-
nesses, a medical student, stated that
be believed the only remedy for con-
ditions in the Cassidente home would
be a sterilizing operation for the
mother, as, according to the witness,
the woman was bearing children too
fast. There are five Caccidente chil-
dren, the oldest 8 years old and the
youngest about a year.
Discussing the case after it had been

republic torn and worn by revolution,
split by factional strife, its finances
a wreck and its rehabiliation an al-
most superhuman task.
A new cabinet, Secretary of Educa-
tion, has been added during the year
and its head, Jose Vasconcelos, has
been promised adequate financial
means to carry out an ambitious pro-
gram of education which, President
Obregon says is the nation’s greatest
problem. "x

President Obregon has been unable
to secure recognition of his govern-
ment by the United States, Great Bri-
tain and France. To many observers,
this failure is the greatest deterrent
to stabliity and prosperity now con-
fronting the chief executive. The
United States has said that the Mexi-
can president must sign a treaty of
amity and commerce as a prior act to
recognition and this president Obregon
lias steadfastly declined to do. assert-
ing such action would be neither legal
nor within the dignity or pride of the
nation. A deadlock on recognition
now exists.
Last May President Obregon placed
an export tax on oil shipments from
Mexico and a loud protest went up
from American producers. Production
and development shut down and ship-
ments ceased. They were resumed
early in September after an agreement
as to taxes between the oil men and
Secretary de la Huerta.
The financial rehabiliation of Mexi-
co is still a subject for study and the
only definite information on that sub-
ject is the official assurance that the
government wishes to arrange its
debts.
Claims against the government for
damages suffered by foreigners during
revolutionary periods are to be treated
by a mixed claims commission, accord-
ing to President Obregon’s suggestion,
but thus far there is no intimation
that such a commission has been es-
tablished.
A year, then, of Obregon finds a na-
tion more united and outwardly peace-
ful than in years; still struggling to
ararnge its finances but handicapped
by lack of recognition by three great
powers; a nation making some pro-
gress along the lines of reconstruction
and reorganization.

thirty were white men. twenty-six ne-

except one or two had been in the peni-

"I impressed on them as well as
the other convicts that pardons would
be granted solely on merit and their
records after reaching the peniten-
tiary", the Governor said. "I told
them that outside influences had lit-
tle to do with persuading me, and that
my decision would be made on their
behavior as a convict.”
