U. S .-MEXICO DIPLOMATIC BREAKER Laws Affecting American Property Valued at Bil- • lion Involved. WASHINGTON TONE PLAIN Note of Kellogg Virtually an Ultimatum. Bu U nil ><l Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. A break in diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico was freely predicted here today, following an exchange of four notes between the two governments. The notes revealed complete disagreement over application of the Mexican alien land and oil laws, affecting $1,000,000,000 of American property rights, but did not mention the underlying friction between the two governments over alleged Mexican radical activities in Central America. Secretary Kellogg’s concludingnote of Oct. 30 was interpreted in inforpieck quarters as a virtual ultimatum that a rupture will result if Mexico enforces its law invalidating oil titles of Americans who refuse to exchange, before Jan. 'i* such titles for fifty-year “concessions.” Describing the situation as “ex--tremely critical,” and reminding Mexico it obtained United States recognition only on condition confiscatory -provisions of its 1917 constitution and later laws would not be applied retroactively, the Kellogg note closed with this warning: “The issues have been plainly defined, and my Government in conclusion reasserts that it expects the government of Mexico, in accordance with the true intent and purpose of the (Warren-Payne) negotiations of 1923, culminating in the recognition of the government of Mexico by this Government, to respect in their entirety the acquired property rights of American citizens, which have been the subject of our discussion, and expects the Mexican government not to take any action under the laws in question and the regulations issued in pursuance thereto, which would operate, either directly or indirectly, to deprive American citizens of the full ownership, use and enjoyment of their said properties and property rights.” Mexico denied, in its notes of Oct. 7 and Nov. 17, that the United States in recognizing Mexico had attached any strings or conditions.

Secretary Wilbur will not appear personally as a witness unless he is specifically ordered to do so, he said this morning. The subpoena calling on him to produce Navy records and reports of the 1921-1922 Japanese war scare was served upon the Secretary this morning. Secretary Wilbur fflwd the Information requested would be sent to the court by special knowledge. The Secretary staid he had no personal knowledge of the information sought by the court, but that he would endeavor to furnish all the information wanted without revealing State secrets. Owen Roberts, heading prosecution counsel, opened the third day of the trial of former Secretary of the Interior Albert and Edward L Doheny, oil magnate, on charges of conspiracy to defraud the Govern ment in the Elk Hills naval oil lease by Introducing "ground work” evidence, including Navy documents. Called by Defense The subpoena for Wilt ur was issued at the request of Frank J. Ho-, gan, chief counsel for the defense, who has maintained that his client, Doheny, agreed to lease the oil r*serves and store naval oil on the Pacific coast because naval officials had informed him of necessity for battleship fuel in the Pacific at that time. Specifically the subpoena requested the report filed with the then Secretary Denby by Admiral Gleavegn head of the Asiatic squadron, showing the plans and movements of battle fleets of the nations. Japanese Angle Bared The Japanese angle was first brought into the case during the Senate investigation of the oil leases, which brought about this trial of Doheny and Fall for conspiracy to defraud the (government. At that time the Senate Public Lands Committee heard Admiral J. K. Robison behind closed doors and decided not to the evidence public.

Doheny, oil millionaire, in Washington in connection with alleged frauds during the Harding Administration oil scandal. Attorney Frank J. Hogan’s statement in his opening address- in defense of Fall and Doheny, that the Japanese planned to attack the United States and Hawaii in 1921, caused a sensation here. Hogan was reported to have said that the Japanese war office in 1921 had ordered mobilization of the fleet with the attack in view. Japanese authorities today considered it unfortunate that the question of international relations had been injected into what had been looked upor a$ a domestic problem. THIffRESORTS" .

/ : — \ m

Here Is the start of the long-awaited flight of the Navy’s giant PN-10 seaplanes from Philadelphia to Colon, Canal Zone. On tlie first day, the two machines winged their way to the naval a'r station at Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, to await favorable flying weather for the second non-stop hop of 2,000 miles to the Panama Canal. This picture shows

Commander’s Machine Out —Search on for PN-10 v No. 1. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 24—With the PN-10 No. 2 down at the Isle of Pines, her sister seaplane, the PN-10 No. 1, en route from Hampton Roads to Panama, is apparently lost, and the U. S. S. Cincinnati has started in search for her, the Navy Department announced this afternoon. Word of the No. 2’s mishap had no more than cleared the anxious Navy communications office than the flash came that the sister ship, previously reported experiencing engine trouble, had apparently come to some grief. The last word received from Lieutenant fonneil, in command of the PN-10 No. 1, was at 8:45 a. m., at which time he reported slight engine trouble. At that time he was approximately 1,155 nautical miles from Hampton Hoads. No. 1 was reported in Navy advices this forenoon to have developed engine trouble 145 miles south of the Isle of Pines, Cuba. Lieutenant Connell, In charge of the plane, notified the department his oil temperature in the starboard motor was •'advancing rapidly. The plane had slightly decreased Its speed and was making 76 knots. The plane had crossed the high mountains of _ western Cuba and passed the half-way mark of the 2,061-mlle flight. The message reported the plane had increased Its speed to 83 knots (95 miles) an hour from a speed of 81 miles reported when the tw<x planes left United States waters at Alligator Key at 3:20 and 3:40 a. m. The 1.185 miles covered in this elapsed time gives an average speed so far of a little more than 83 miles an hour. At this rate, the entire Jdurney would be made In a few minutes less than 25 hours. Each plane carries gasoline for about 29 hours' flying at the rate of 50 gallons an hour. The flight started at 4:21 p. m. yesterday at Hampton Roads, Va, Navy’s Best Fliers The crews, chosen as the best the Navy could provide, follow: PN-10 No. l: Lieut. Byron J. C<*hnell, Lfet.

Schildhauer. Aviation Chief Machinist’s Mate Charles J. Sutter. Each of the planes had a 21,000pound load at the hop-off, including 1,500 gallons of gasoline. Along the route six ships were stationed to give aid if trouble developed. GOVERNOR AWAITS TRIAL Officials Predict Alabama Executive Will Never Face Court.

MINUTE DETAILS BOLSTER ALIBI IN HALL-MILLS CASE Defense Uses Astronomer to Tell About Moon on Murder Night. Bu United Press COURTROOM. SOMERVILLE, N. J., Nov. 24. —Witnesses passed in rapid parade through their* examinations in the Hall-Mills murder trial today, each adding a bit to the alibi of the three defendants or striking at the accuracy of testimony offered by the State. The day, which started with brief cross-examination of Willie Stevens, a defendant, saw an astronomer, a policeman, two ministers and a stream of laymen pass to and from the witness stand. /The astronomer testified that the moon was just barely crescent on the night of the murder. Mrs. Jane Gibson had previously testified there was a full moon. - The minister introduced Willie Stevens’ birth records to disprove the State's insinuations as to his parentage. Another witness told of being in a park in New Brunswick, N. J., at a time when Mrs. Marie Demarest had said she saw Ralph Gorsline and Mrs. Minna Clark spying on the Rev. .Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, and that she hadn't seen any of them In the park. Willie walked slowly to the stand and sat with folded hands. “You said you were only slightly acquainted with Mrs. Mills?" began Prosecutor Simpson. “Yes, sir,” said Stevens. “Did you ever call at her home and talk with her for two hours?” "I did not.” Simpson then asked Willie if he had gone downstairs on the murder night after he had first retired to his room, hut Stevens was not certain. The prosecutor then drew out three cartridge shells, supposedly those found near the murder scene. “Were these of the type used in your .32-caliber revolver?” asked Simpson. ‘No, sir.” Professor Dugan, the astronomer, gave testimony reminiscent of the famous story of Abraham Lincoln winning acquittal for a client by production of an almanac showing there was no full moon on a certain night.

Af her return to Roumania ap proa-hod. Her Majesty's troubles increased. The sensational Caro, incident, forgotten for so long, suddenly loomed as a possible issue for the Queen's enemies. The power of Brattiano, war time premier, antagonistic to the recently established Hue of succession, is said to fie increasing, and the Queen's party fears he will attempt to seize the regency by establishing k'mself future protector of the Infant Michael, Carol’s son, in place of Prince Nicolas. Such action would shear the Queen of her power. Her position as virtual absolute ruler of her country was acquired through persuasion and dominance of her husljand. who has bowed to his wife's will for many years. In case of his early death the 4-year-old son of Carol would become ruler. Marie has ordered that Princq Nicolas become protector, a move that would maintain, if not Increase, her power, as Nicolas Is completely servile to her will.
