MEXICO PEEVED
AT THE ALUES
CARRAXZA SORE BECAUSE HIS
COVERXMEXT WAS XOT IXVIT.
ED TO BIG I'ATtTY IX PARIS.
MINISTER IS RECALLED
WASHINGTON. D. C. April 24.
The failure of the Allies to Invite
Mexico to participate In the confer
ence of Neutrals at Paris has aroused
President Carranza to bitter resent
ment which Is Incresed by the Incor
poration of the recognition of the
Monroe doctrine In the covenant
with Mexico.
This was the explanation in official
circles today of the withdrawing of
the representatives from Paris.
The 'Mexican governmen talso feels
humiliated because she has been un
able to secure recognition from elth.
er England or Franco.
Tho nou recognition of the Monroe
Doctrine by the Mexican government
and tho. recall from Paris to Alberto
J. Paul, minister of Franco toi await
orders In Spain formed the substance
to BtatementB printed by nil Mexico
City paiiors ns coming officially from
tho Department of Foreign relations.
It Is reported (hat tho Mexican rep
resenatlvo nt Rome will also be cal
led home.
The further Information-was vouch
safed that out of prosecution under
liquor laws were paid Into the Coun
ty treasury, while it was principally
through the efforts of the city police
force that violations were discovered.
A committee was appointed consist
ing of Mesdames Reynolds, Jacobs
and Miss Maud Baldwin to watt on
the County Court and ask that offi
cial body to appoint a police matron
tinder the law providing for the ap
pointments of officers to uphold the
criminal laws.
It was decided to take vigorous
and effective measures, cost what it
may, irrespective of any obstacles
that may be placed in the way, to
bring to an end the deplorable con
ditions that seem to be rapidly gain
Ing headway among the younger peo
ple of the city. The parents of these
children are to be advised of every
Instance In which their boy or gtrl
may be Involved, and pnnderers are
to be hunted down and driven from,
the city. It was Intimated that a ten.
tattve list of these vipers has already
been prepared.
One of the first steps towards the
moral regeneration of the city will
be for a curfew law, and a committer
was appointed to wait on Mayor Stru-
ble and the city council with this ob
ject in view. This committee is com
posed of Mesdames Jacobs, Magee,
W'lnnek, Bratton, Cozad and Mur
phey. The work outlined by this organi
zation Is sufficiently constructive to
command the earnest and united
support of the entire community.
Already eighty-five ladles have be
come members of the club, but this
should be Increased ten-fold.
