S, By DAVID LAWRENCE, Stuff Correspondent of The News Copyright, 1!21, by News Publishing; Co. Washington, Sept. 2. Mexico's chances of recognition are better to day as a result of her Supreme Court's decision on the famous article twenty seven of the Mexican constitution. The United States has proposed that a treaty be signed by Mexico absolutely safeguarding American oil rights. Pres ident Obregon felt that, to concede Am erica's request, would give the impres sion that he was yielding to foreign in fluence. The American government in sisted that either article twenty-seven was retroactive or it was not and that Mexico should say formally and irrevo cably which was the case. America suggested a treaty because it would al ways be binding. Mexico, however, has found another way namely a Supreme Court decision. OIL MEN HAVE A FAITH Heretofore oil men have not had much faith in the decisions of Mexico's Supreme Court because of the frequent reversals of judgment. Now, however, he Mexicans claim their judiciary is in dependent. It no longer is appointed by the executive but all the judges are elected by Congress and only one-third s elected at one time, so the court maintains a certain independence ot po litical changes. This method of elec tion was provided under the new con stitution and the decision just hanaea down is really the first of its kind. It will have an important bearing on the future because, if the Supreme Court does not reverse itself, there will be much more faith in its integrity. It is true that America asked that the oil question be adjusted m a treaty which had to be signed before recogni tion would be extended. une Ameri can government will not stand on tech nicalities. It is interested in the sub stance rather than the lorm. in ei fect. the contention of the United States that article twenty-seven ought not to ACTION AGAINST SHERIFF TAKEN Steps Being Taken to Im peach Cabarrus Omcial New Chief on Job. With the machinery set in motion Friday morning for the impeachment of the sheriff for alleged malfeasance in office, and with a new police chief al ready on the job. indications are that Concord business and professional men were determined and in earnest when tbev voted, following a conference with Governor Morrison here Thursday after noon, to establish a "government m iharrus county. Police Chief C. A. Robinson resigned during Thursday night's meeting or the Concord board of aldermen and his resignation was unanimously accepted. Harry Joyner, first sergeant or tne con cord military oomrany, went on tne joo as chief of police Friday morning. No ether changes in the department's per sonnel have been made as yet. Although Sheriff Carl A. Spears is aware of" the fact that proceedings for the purpose of ousting him from omce are underway, he has had nothing to say. He was about his ofhee as usual Friday.- Perhans a month will be required to complete the impeachment charges, as the statutes proide for a regular trial for an derive officer of a county oetore ho rr.n v.e removed from office. Tnjs is fortunate for the sheriff because if the governor of North Carolina had the nnu-er granted in a lot of other states someone else would have had Sheriff Spears' job some time ago. MAKING FINAL PLANS A meeting of Concord citizens, disin terested in the strike beyond seeing that order is maintained, is expected to be held todav to complete plans for brm ing formal charges against Sheriff Ktioar and arranp.insr for the. employ ment of adequate counsel. Although the sheriff had nothing to say, it was presumed. that he would prepare to de fend himself and his record as the coun ty's chief police officer. The d.deraticn of Concord citizens who met here vesterday afternoon and planned for the movement to remove the sheruf and chier ot ponce, went tie fore the bnard of aldermen last night ind demanded his dismissal. The deli gation was supplemented by other men of Concord, according to information received by Tha News over long-dis tance telephone. The decision of the Concord people to p-.-t vid of thesr? two officers and "estai: lish a government" came after Govern or Morrison and Adjutant General Metts had bitterly criticized the citizen ship of the town for its tauure to a mand law enforcement. METTS IN AGREEMENT.

The Supreme Court of Mexico agrees entirely with the United States in pointing out that lands obtained prior to the making of the constitution are safe from confiscation. TREATY NOT NECESSARY Pres:dent Obregon's speech saving he would not sign a treaty is taken to mean rhat he refers to the points clear ed up by the Supreme Court decision. The Mexican President, however, had previously indicated his willingness to adjust by treaty a number of pending questions such as claims growing out of the revolutions in Mexico. An agreement on these points will not be difficult to accomplish and it may be that some broad reference to the pro tection of lives and property in the fu ture may be urged as a means of satis fying" public opinion on this side of the Rio Grande, for, while the United States Government wants to be as considerate as possible in making it easy for Pres ident Obregon to handle his own politi cal situation, there is also a problem in Washington. For inside the Republi can administration are men like Secre tary Falls, who reflects extreme atti tude toward Mexico; men like Secretary Hughes, who is interested in seeing le gal questions adjusted on a sound basis, ano President naming, who is eager that America's relation to Mexico shall be friendly so that complications with European countries may be avoided. The situation is in such shape that a standing on forms and pride may drive the two nations apart Whereas a spirit of reconciliation and compromise will bring them together. There is no evi dence here of the rattling of sabres but a desire to get a definite agreement in black and white on a number of vexa tious points so that the extension of recognition by the United States Gov ernment. followed, as it will be, bv sim ilar action from the European powers will not be the basis for political at tack in the United States. MUCH COTTON OF LAST YEAR LEFT S-sven Thousand Bales in County, With New Crop, Ready, Boon to Farmers. Seven thousand bales of the last cot ton crop in Mecklenburg county have been held off the market owing to low- prices, J. S. Withers, county cotton weigher, said Friday in commenting on the upward trend of cotton prices now. Ir. Withers' books show that he receiv ed only 54 per cent as much cotton with in the last year as during the year previously. The rise in price is expected by cotton men , to be followed by a big increase in the amount of the staple, placed on the local market, although no appreciable increase has been no ticed yet. Many farmers, it was thought will still hold much of their cotton from the market as they are expecting the price increases to continue. That the staple will go up two additional cents within the next few days is the opinion of several men who are acquainted with the situation. Cotton Friday brought 17 cents on the local market. Three bales of new cotton, offered by J. S. Miller, a farmer of Pineville, were bought by Leroy Springs and company for li.2o cents. The first new cotton sold on the Char lotte market last year, Mr. Withers 'said. was Sentember 11. It brought 3;) 2onts. The price now prevailing, 17 cents, is an increase of 5 1-2 cents over tin price offered August 1. The staple vlroppcd to 10 cents in August, the low est mark since 1915. The govf-rumt-nt report of Thursday deelared the condition of the cotton crop in the South is 4i).3, the lowest in a generation. Mecklenburg county wnl have an almost normal crop this year. however, in the opinion of farmers. Cir cumstances responsible for the short crop in the great cotton producing states of the south have not affected farmers of this county who are antici pating a yield about as great as in previous 3'eart. The large amount of old cotton in the possession of farmers and prospects for a good crop this fall has been accepted as insuring a return of prosperity to farmers of the Piedmont section. Con tinued price increases is regarded as likely by cotton men, and the farmers' possession of a large suply of the staple will prove advantageous to them from a financial standpoint. GENERAL WOOD WILL UNDERTAKE THE TASK Manila, Sept. 2. (By the Associat ed Press.) Major General Leonard Wood today announced his accept ance of the post of Governor Gen eral of the Philippines, tendered to him by President Harding. TWO BODIES RECOVERED. Washington, Sept. 2. Recovery of the bodies of Robert M. Coons, of Ow ensboro, Ky., and Lloyd. E. Crowl, of Charleston, S. S., victims of the ZR-2 disaster, was reported today to the Na vy Department. MILLION-DOLLAR ADVANCE. Washington, Sept. 2. Advance of $1,000,000 to a Southern bank for the purpose of assisting in the exportation of cotton and grain was announced to day by the War Finance Corporation. The name of the bank was withheld. Muck To First Step Would Be to Fire Out Sheriff and Concord Chief, He Declares. CITIZENS CRITICISED. Morrison Insists People Have Allowed Law Break ers to Destroy Gov't. "The state of North Carolina will see ihat peace is established, and order maintained in Cabarrus county," Gover nor Cameron Morrison told a Concord delegation which visited him at his rooms in the Southern Manufacturers' club Thursday afternoon. He also told the delegation that the sheriff of the county and the police chief of Concord should be "fired out" for what he termed their failure to per form sworn duties. He deplored the lack of executice authority so that it might be done quickly and the preser vation of peace thereby insured. "There is no government in Cabar rus county," the governor considered, under circumstances now existing. A serious sts.te has been reached, he thought, when it becomes necessary for the chief executive to make a per sonal investigation as to the advisabil ity of sending Troops into a county when, ordinarily, a call from the sher iff should lie justifiable for their dis patch. WOULD DEMAND PROTECTION The statements were in reply to urgent appeals of business ana professional men of Concord fcr the return of troops for guard duty .in the . strike zone and were acco-nplif'iied -with severe criticism vi citizens ot inac city lor'tu-eir appir ant failure to demand, and make orga nized effort to obtain, the protection from the civil authorities to which they are justly entitled. The delegation accepted the criticism of the chief executive as deserving, and following the conference the members discussed the situation among them selves and unanimously decided to launch a movement at once for the re moval ot these officers by appearing Thursday night before the' board of aldermen and demanding the dismissal of the poliee chief and making court charges against the sheriff The members of the delegation, num bering about 20, crowded the governor's room and discussed for two hours de velopments of the last two days and the f lilure of their civil authorities to adequately cope with the situation. METTS TO CONCOKD The request of the delegation was for the immediate mobilization of at least one military company and its as signment to guard duty in cotton mill settlements. This the governor re fused to do, despite appeal after appeal from members, i early all of whom had something to say about the "fall-down" of the civil officers and the threatening stage which the strike situation again had reached. At the conclusion of the conference Governor Morrison ordered Adjutant General M"tts to go to Concord and be prepared to mobilize the Concord com pany Friday morning if he found condi tions warrant it. The governor told the delegation that be had union lead ers' "word" that no further disturbances would occur. The Governor's arraignment of the civil authorities came after the whol-j situation had been reviewed by various members of the delegation, who told of disorders and threatened disorders, cit ing a number of individual cas.-s where workers in the Norcott anl Brown mills had been attacked, "brow beaten" and otherwise hindered in their efforts to earn a livelihood. WOFl J) NOT LISTEN. A half-dozen mill officials were in he delegation and they sought to explain some ot the reportea issues oi tne strike to the Governor, but he refused to hear them, reminding that he was interested only in maintaining law and order in Cabarrus county and afford ing protection to persons who wanted to engage in peaceful pursuits and i-jt in settlinsr tne difficulty between em ployer and employe. Governor Morrison said he first learn ed of the failures of the sheriff and nolico chief in their direction of the situation when he investigated the ad Continued On Page Twelve.) FIRST NEW COTTON BOUGHT BY SPRINGS The first new cotton to be offered on the Charlotte market was sold Friday by J. S. Miller, a farmer of Pineville townshipfi and bought by Leroy Springs & Co.. for 17.2a cents. There were three bales in the allotment, the ag gregate weight being 1.63S nounds, or 138 pounds more of lint than is con tained in the a-erasre three bales of 500 pounds each. The first cotton bought last year came in on September 11 and was bought by J. H. Cutter and Company tor 30 cents the pound. Cotton is reported as opening rapidly under the hot, dry weather to which it is being subjected three days and plant ers assert that the probable yield is being severely cut by the drought.

Rosser, of Atlanta, Tells Bar Association. CONSCIENCE NEEDED. Lynching Only One Phase of Spirit Laying Axe to Root of Government. Cncinnati, Ohio, Sept. 2. C. A. Se vcrance, of St. Paul, Minn., was elect ed president of the American Bar As sociation today. Frederick F. Wadhams, of Albany, N. Y., and A. Thomas Keuio, of Baltimore, Md., were re-elected treas urer and secretary, respectively. Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 2. Impartial annihilation of the "whole poisonous, pestilential brood" of what generally is called the mob spirit, is the only guaranty of national safety, Luther Z. Roeser, of Atlanta, Ga., told the Ameri can Bar Association in an address on the illegal enforcement of the law this morning. Lynching, he said, will cease only when negroes stop their attacks on white women and when the white peo ple reach such a stage of self-control that they can restrain themselves in favor of the law two things that are too deepseated to be met by the law alone, but which must be met by an awakening of public conscience and. the uplift of the two races. But lynching, he added, was only one phase of the mob spirit that "is con stantly and industriously laying the axe at the root of government." Labor mobs, though different in their incep tion and make-up, were declared !o be just as inimical to the safety, of the nation. BORN OF PASSION. "The lynching mob is born in a whirlwind of passion and survives but a day," he said. 'In the presence of armed forces, it slinks away in the darkness and dissolves in terror. "The labor mob too often is born of deliberation and preparation. It often lives long enough to exert its cor rupting influence ufion legislation and administration ana to secure the uni versal object of all such mobs. Too often, in defiance of arms and con stables, it continues it work of deslruc- tion and murder." ' Lynching, he declared, is oniy one of the germs. To attack one and leave the other to safety thrive is govern mental suicide. Annihilation, not dally ing, is the only guaranty of national safety." OFFICERS AND BANQUET. Election of officers and the annual banquet of the American Bar Associa tion to be presided over tonight by Chief Justice Taft, of the Supreme Court of the United States, were the principal fatures of the final day's session of the forty-fourth annual con vention. CONVICTED MINISTER ELECTED MODERATOR Spartanburg, S. C, Sept. 2. Rev. F. C. Hkkson, of Gaffney, S.

Action was postponed, however, on tne question of declaring martial law, pending conferences other government omcials with President Harding. The proclama tion has been signed and requires onlv issuance to become effec tive.
