which provides for the erection, of
a state office building to cost, ap
proximately , $ 600.000. This, bill
was introduced by the, Marlon
county delegation and received, the
approval of both house, with Verx
little adverse criticism. The '. bill
makes provision for tbe,.apprpP, Ra

for tun construction 01 tne ouua-

Borrow State Funds
Under the provisions of the law
tiu money required to defray the
rust of the structure will be bor
rowed from the funds of.the, state
industrial accident commission.
Interest on the loan would be paid
at the rate of. 4 per , cent? At
the time the bill was .Introduced
it was argued that . rentals . as
sessed against stale .departments
and commissions asigned to space
in the new structure would take
care of the interest, on:, th,e loan
and eventually pay- off the prin
cipal. The sole cost to the tax
payers will be that of mainten-

Secrecy Surrounds Depart
ure of Ambassador From
United States
U. S. MESSAGE ANSWERED
illness of Brother Stated as Reas
on for Journey; State De
partment Refuses to
Give Information
WASHINGTON, March 3.
(AP) Sudden departure of Am
bassador Manuel C. Tellez for
Mexico City tonight led to rumors
that his recall had been requested
by the state department. The de
partment refused to comment upon
this report, but it was learned
from official sources that no such
request had been submitted to the
Mexico City government.
The reason for the ambassador's
departure understood to have been
given to Washington officials was
because of the illness of his broth
er. Tellez recently left Washing
ton for Mexico City on the same
explanation, but returned here
without having actually having
left the country.
Whether his movements are in
any way connected with the recent
exchange of notes with Mexico
about which neither government
had made any statement could not
be learned.
Secrecy Covers Note
The report that .recall of the
ambassador had been asked was
strengthened by the unusual se
crecy that has surrounded thejAm
er.ican note and the Mexican re
ply,, and further by the fact that
Mexico City dispatches tonight in
dicated that propaganda activities
from Mexican sources in the
United States might be the sub
ject of that correspondence.
Mexico has replied secretly to
the secret note recently sent by
the United States.
This was the sum total of in
formation available at the state
department today about the much
discussed new move in the long
controversy between Washington
and Mexico City.
Note Important
Mexican reports have described
the American note as of unusual
importance, but officials here will
answer no questions about it.
MEXICO CITY, March 3. (By
AP) The foreign office declared
tonight that the report the Wash
ington government had given noti
fication that Manuel Tellez was
no longer persona grata is un
founded. Under Secretary Estra
da said: "The foreign off ice. does
not know the source of such re

foundation. The foreign office has
