Inc., New York Chicago San Francisco CONSTITUTION OF MEXICO SIGNED Great Enthusiasm Attends Ceremony; Church and State Separated Queretaro, Mex., Jan. 31.—The dele- Bates to the constitutional assembly, which concluded its labors last night assembled at II o'clock this morning and signed the constitution on which they had be,en working for two months. Tile ceremony was attended by great enthusiasm. All the members of the cabinet were present except Luis Ca brera, minister of finance, and Ygnacio Bonilias, minister of foinento and com munications. Advanced Legislation The new constitution contains some advanced legislation. Among the pro visions are: Abolition of the office of vice-presi dent, prohibition of the re-election of a president, stringent and radical labor laws which provide for an eight-hour day, seven hours of night work and six working days a week; compulsory arbi tration, profit sharing, free employment bureau, antitrust laws and compulsory military Instruction. Many of the articles are based on the theory of keeping Mexico for Mex icans. Provisions in the constitution gives Mexicans preference in obtain ing employment and acquiring* .lands and concessions. Under the next constitution, foreign ers must renounce allegiance to the countries whence they come to acquire title to real estate, insofar as foreign citizenship concerns such property. The land laws are stringent. They provide for the cutting up of large estate* and the return of communal and tribal lands. Separate Church nnd Stnle The provisions regarding separation of the church and State virtually means the taking over by the government of the entire property in Mexico of the Roman Catholic Church, inasmuch as religious orders are prohibited from owning or administering real estate or mortgages and all churches, as well as denominational, educational and charitable institutions, pass into the hands of the government. All clergy men must be of Mexican birth. They are prohibited from teaching in public schools and are permitted to give In struction in only the higher grades of private schools, which will be under the supervision of the government, as all churches will be. All natural resources in Mexico are declared to be the property of the government. Will Advertise Soon Fcr Bids on U. S. Shell Factory Washington, D.

S. Steel Which Reacts After Extra Dividend; Shippings and Motors Con spicuous in Abrupt Setback New York, Jan. 31. The market opened with numerous gains ranging from fractions to a point but prices soon fell back on heavy selling of the leaders. United States Steel was the pivot around which dealings revolved, soon reacting from its maximum of 113&8 to 112 y t , suggesting disappoint ment of yesterday's extra dividend. Shippings and Motors were conspicu ous in the abrupt setback at recessions of 1 to 3 points with pronounced heaviness in Central leather, Indus trial Alcohol, Sugars and some of the rails. Canadian Pacific lost 2 points with one each for Heading and St. Paul. Steel rebounded to 113% during the first hour, its course being typi cal of other prominent issues, but rallies were not well maintained. Deal ings fell away to a marked degreo after the first selling movement, trad ers evidently showing little disposi tion to make fresh commitments, while public interest as indicated by commission house operations con tinued negligible. Towards noon the market resumed its early activity with increased strength in steel* and cop pers. Rails also shared in the general rise with a broader inquiry for equip ments and allied specialties. Bonds were lower on large sales of foreign issues.

For the last week ther mometers have never been higher than 28 degres Fahrenheit, except iu the extreme south.

At Parlfl, at th same time, tho mercury fell to 14 i at Belfort eight; at Lyons ,;o r, while the port of Nantes was frozen up notwithstanding the efforts of Ice brea Iters. The Haine, Maine and Saone are full of floating ice and the backwaters are completely frozen over. If the frost continues a few days more tl.e whole surface of the rivers will bo covered and all traffic stopped. Edouard Herriot, minister of sub sistence, made a far more optimistic statement in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday on the coal situation. The maority of inhabitants of Paris, hav ing no storage facilities, buy small quantities of coal weekly and even those with cellarage laid in smaller supplies than usual this winter and their stock is now exhausted.
