So It appsars that bscauss of lack of sufficient room for the farmers as well as beMiuse they wish to be on the market early, they start to Indianapolis the night before and are worn out by the time the people come along with their maritet baskets, tt is true that some of the farmers prefer not to retail, and to dispose of their products in wholesale quaittUles. and return homa At the same time there are many who say they would like to sell direct to consumers and would do so if they had reasonable asauranoe that the curb on the south side of the courthouse square aould not be crowded when they reached Indianapolis They feel that they receive little encouragement to Mil their produce direct to consumers The east, west and north sides of the courthouse squsre are occupied by stand-

WASHINGTON. August 14.— Wsrumg that there would be a rsdi-, cal change in the policy of the Amer-! ican government regarding Mexico' if the Carranza government con-' tinned tb fail to protect Americans in Uiat country, was contained ki a note sent to the Mexican foreign office July 22. 'Z%st the note had been dtspstched was dtacloeed today by the atate department. together with the Information in the reply. Made at Mexico City. The Mexican government had eaid that everything possible already was being done to protect foreigners. There was a suggestion that unless foreigners concentrated in populous places It would be impoOTible to afford them the protection demanded Notification of a possible change of policy urns made by the American embassy at Me:|lco City on Instructions from the state department, which determined on this course as a result of the long series of murders and outrages of Americans in Mexico, culminating In the murder of Peter Catron 1x1 San Luis Potosi last month. Signed by Summerlin. In connection with the death of Catren, the usual representations rsgsrding the capture and punishment of those responsible were ^ade. but the note concluded as follows: "I am also instructed to state that should the lives of American oiUsens continue to remain unsafe and these murders continue by reason of the unwillingness or inability of ths Mexican government to afford adequate protection. my government may be forced to adopt a radical change in Its policy with regard to Mexico.” ’The Gommunics,tion was signed by George T. Summerlin, charge Surprised at "Menace.” Surprise was displayed in the reply of the Mexican government at what is syled ths "menace" contained in the American note. It was suggested that it appeared strange that such demands for protection should be given foreigners in sparsely settled districts when crimes often go undetected in the "most populous cities of ths most cultured countriee" "and where acts of violence are ften committed" without the respective governments thereby beeom ing the objects ef severs observaqens.
