MEXICO COMMISSION
SPENDS DAY STUDYING
SITUATION ON BORDER
Each Side Inspects Data Sub
mitted by Other in Prepara
tion for First Confer- x
. ence Tomorrow
LOAN SERIOUSLY NEEDED
NEW LONDON. Conn., Sept. 7. The
American nnd Mexican 'commissioners "took
a day oft" !n the deliberations today to
study thoroughly the data affecting the
border situation. Representatives of the
Mexican de facto Government and ot the
United States have exchanged documents
bearing on the situation which necessi
tated the dispatch of the Pershing ex
pedition. These will be carefully consid
ered before the meeting tomorrow.
The Mexican party here makes no secret
of the fact that the financing- ot the de
facto Government Is of the utmost im
portance If the Constitutionalist regime Is
to be permanent. The belief still prevails
here In some circles that the visit of Luis
Cabrera to Boston was to confer with money
Interests there and sound out their atti
tude toward a projected loan.
HARD TO FLOAT LOAN
From New Tork financial mterests It
was learned today that there was very little
probability of any large banking house In
the United States or Europo attempting to
sell a Mexican loan of a hundred million
dollars. It was pointed out that failure to
sell such a loan would mean t dangerous
Impairment ot the capital of the banking
group undertaking; the project, and bankers
are convinced that the American public
wouia not buy the bonds.
WHAT MUST BE DONE
For this reason It will be made plain to
the financial representatives of the Car
rania Government that there Is not the
slightest chance of a large banking con
cern In' the United States undertaking to
sell a Mexican loan until these conditions
have been realized:
First. An agreement regarding the
length of stay on Mexican soil ot the
Pershing expedition.
Second. An agreement, ratified by
the United States and the Carranza
Governments, for the protection of the
border, and a signed protocol to that
effect.
Three. An absolute end of banditry
and violence in Mexico.
Four. Satisfactory guarantees of
protection to American and other for
eign Interests In Mexico, with the as
surance that the Constitutionalist Gov
ernment can guarantee such protection.
Until these conditions are accomplished,
-It was stated, there Is small likelihood of
a loan of any Bort being negotiated here
or abroad.

ASHURST'S "SHOUT AND UGLY
WORD" APPEARS OX RECORD
Arizona Senator Fails to Ellmlnato
Charge That Pcnroso "Lied"
Bv a 81a B Corrfjpoiwlritf
WASHINGTON. Sept. 7, Although Sen
ator Ashurst, of Arizona, aald he would
withdraw his statement mado on tho floor
of the Senate that Senator Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, "lied," tho Congressional
Itecord printed today contains the charge.
Alt Senators aro itlven copies of their re
marks In typewritten form before they are
sent to the Government Printing OfTly, so
that their statements may be corrected or
changed If they so desire before they nre
mado a part of the Congressional Record.
The vitriolic btntements of Senator
Ashurst that Senator Curtis, of Kansas,
had "sweetbreads for brains" nnd that
Senator Penrose "lied" appear In tho Rec
ord Just as they were mado on tho floor
during discussion of the corrupt practices
act yesterday.
Senntor Penrose angered Senator Ashurst
by calling nttentlon to the "recent copper
lobby," which he said resulted In tho elimi
nation of the proposed tax on copper manu
factures. Ho called attention to tho fact
that Senator Ashurst, who represents a big
copper State, had presented the amendment
to exempt copper,
"If tho Senator should say." declared
Senator Ashurst, according to today's
Congressional nccord, "that a lobby In
fluenced my vote In that particular, I would
say. of course, that tho Senator lied."
During the debate Senator Ashurst sar
castically said: "I am glad to see the
ponderous form of my obese friend from
Pennsylvania, that shining exemplar of
purity nnd morals In politics."
