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. C., Jan. 31. —So
rapidly have Navy Department ord
nance experts arranged specifications
for machinery required in the con
struction of the proposed government
projectile factory. Secretary Daniels
said to-day, it will be possible within
a week to advertise for bids for the
material. It is the department's in
tention to contract as soon as possible
for the machinery so that when the
construction work is begun, probably
next spring, there will be no delay In
getting necessary equipment.
BAPTISTI BUILDING WILL BE
REMODELED BY OWNER
"• Ai Baptisti to-day purchased
from A. B. Gardner his half ownership
of the property at Third and Chestnut
streets, occupied by the firm of Gard
ner-Baptisti Company, wholesale
product merchants. Mr. Baptisti, who
formerly owned the building in part
nership with Mr. Gardner now be
comes the sole owner and is making
plans for remodeling. There will be
no change in the firm which will con
tinue to do business at the present
stand.
When the new building Mr. Baptisti
has in mind is built, the first floor will
be given over to business and storage
purposes and the upper floors to
apartments.
DANE SUNK
Loudon, Jan. 31.—Lloyds announce

tons, has been sunk. The crew of the
steamer has been landed.

burn or discolor the skin. Nothing

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
HEAVY SELLING OF
LEADERS CAUSES DROP
Dealings Revolve Around U. 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.

France Is Experiencing
Severest Winter Since
1893; Much Distress
Purls, Jan. 31, ■—■ Franco In ex
periencing tho 7iiost 'stovero winter
since 1593. For the last week ther
mometers have never been higher
than 28 degres Fahrenheit, except iu
the extreme south. The cold reached
even the most southerly point yester
day and affected such favored spots as
Nice and Cannes while at Cette there
was eleven degrees of frost. 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. Tho
authorities are using every effort to
alleviate the suffering.
