Mexico Abandons
British Quarters
Consulates in London, Glas
gow and Liverpool Closed
as Protest.
By Associated Tress.
London, Oct. 31—The only diplo
matic tie which bound the British
and Mexican governments was sev
ered today with the closing of all the
Mexican consulates In Great Britain.
This action was the result of Mexi
co's declaration that Its representa
tives could not carry out their duties
with self-respect after the breakdown
of the attempt to re-establish official
relations between the two countries.
The offices of the consul general
In London and the consulates of Liv
erpool and Glasgow will be looked
up at the close of business today and
notices posted on the doors stating
that no official liens will be conduct
ed until further notice and that the
Mexican government would not ac
cept any documents legalized by the
consuls of friendly nations.
This decision to refuse to accept
documents attested by other consuls
entirely cuts off commerce between
Great Britain and Mexico which, al
though of comparatively little Im
portance, formed the entire business
of the several small trading compan
ies. Consul General Carrillo will
leave for Mexico November S and
memhers of the Mexican consulate
staffs are being transferred to France
and Holland.
BUSINESS GOOD,
DESPITE ELECTION
New York, Oct. 31.—Dun's to
morrow will say:
“Even with the restraining effect
of the nearby election, business as a
whole, has made farther headway.
Despite a waiting attitude in many
quarters, with the deferment of
numerous commitments, the main
trend has been toward moderate ex
pansion and the rise of commodities
prices has continued. The Irregu
larity of the commercial movement
is still marked and there is much
conservatism, but new gains had
come In some basic lines, and freight
car loadings have recently been
without precedent.
“Although some buyers of steel
are holding off owing to political
factors, others have shown more
disposition to place contracts, and
purchases of pig iron in the west
have been the argest In weeks.
Similarly, transactions In domestic
packer hides have Increased with
about the heaviest sales of the year
and the revival in the leather and
footwear trades has met with no
check.

Urged to Fill Wallace
Vacancy.
Friends at Work Here
Charles W. Pugsley, former Ne
braskan and until a year ago assist
ant secretary of agriculture, is being
urged upon President Coolidge as the
logical man to succeed the late Henry
C. Wallace as secretary of agricul
ture. ^1
Pugsley Is now president of the
South Dakota State college at Brook
ings. Agricultural organizations in
South Dakota and individuals have
wired the president suggesting Pugs
ley's appointment. Word of this
reached Omaha Friday when Way
land W. McGee of the Summer Hill
farm received a telegram from Pugs
ley.
Movement Startea Mere.
Another mentioned for the post Is
former Governor Sam McKelvie and
It is understood that friends are
working for his selection. McKel
vie's friends point out that, as editor
of a farm publication, he is as equally
fitted for the post as was the late
Secretary Wallace.
A movement with the ultimate goal
of Pugsley's appointment is now un
der way in Omaha and throughout
the state in the hope that he will win
a place in President Goolidgo’s cabi
net. He is one of the foremost agri
curturai experts In the country and
is thoroughly familiar with the du
ties of the post made vacant by Wal
lace's death. John T. Kennedy, presi
dent of the First National bank;
County Agent Karl Maxwell and oth
ers are working to bring about the
appointment.
Career Proves Fitness.
Pugsley's fitness for the office is
best exemplified by his career, his
friends say He Is 46 years old snd
was l oir, in Woodbine, la. He was
graduated in 1696 from Woodbine
Normal school and in 1906 received
his B, S degree in agriculture at the
University of Nebraska.
From 1699 to 1902 he was a pro
fessor at the Woodbine school, and
for two years after he completed his
course at the University of Nebraska
lie operated a farm. He was subse
quently connected with the university
in the following capacities: Assistant
professor of animal husbandry’, head
professor of agronomy and farm man
agement, and director of agricultural
extension.
During the administration of Gov
ernor McKelvie Pugsley was editor
of the Nebraska Farmer, the gov
ernor's magazine. He was appointed
assistant secretary of agriculture by
President Harding in October, 1921.
\grlcultural \uthorify.
Pugsley has for years been a promi
nent figure at conferences on agricul
tural problems !»oth here and abroad.
He wns a member of the last Ne
braska constitutional convention and
is the nuthor of various bulletins and
articles on agricultural subjects.
It Is believed that u westerner will
be appointed by the president within
the next two days. Because of the
closeness of the fight in the three
states where Pugsley has lieen promi
nent— Iowa, Nebraska ami South
Dakota—his chances for appointment
ate said to lie good.
Among the other persons men
tioned for the post Is former Gov

goldfish was found in a net Wednes
day by Harry Tennant and Guy Rick
man of this place, who have l>een
seining the smaller lakes of the Iowa
Great laikes group at the behest of
state fish commissioners.
These small lakes are seined each

destroying the Bpawning beds of
game fish. The ‘'soft" fish are
shipped in boxes to eastern markets

while the few game fish which be
come entangled In the nets are care
fully transferred to the Okoboji lakes.
The goldfish caught was an eight

head, an exaggerated replica of the
little goldfish kept by many people
in small glass bowls. This is the
first fish of this description foun l
in these lakes since about 15 years
ago when an even larger goldfish of
the buffalo species was found in Hast

Big Portion
of Loan to
Be Retired
■»
Secretary Mellon Announce*
Treasury Plan to Redeem
Cleveland Bond Issue of
189.) in February,
Bank Notes Replaced
Washington. Oct. 31— The treas
ury has completed Its plans for re
demption of the loan of 1923—one of
of the issues of federal obligations
used to set ure national bank notes—
and thereby is prepared next Feb
ruary to take a big step toward the
eventual replacement of national
hank notes by currency issued under
the federal reserve act.
Announcement of the treasury's
program was made tonight by Secre
tary Mellon as follows:
' The treasury announces that it
has called for redemption and pay
ment on February 2, 1926. the Unit
ed States 4 per cent bonds of 1925,
dated February 1, 1S9S, and that
such bonds will cease to bear inter
est on that date.
"In order to facilitate redemption,
holders are urged to present their
bonds well in advance of February 2
so as to insure prompt payment
when due.
Sumo Bunds Delayed.
‘This is particularly important
with respect to registered bonds, as
payment cannot tie made until regis
tration shall have been discharged
by the treasury department division
of loans and currency."
The call will end the life of $118,
409.000 in federal securities. It will
also force the retirement of an equal
amount of national hank notes,
issued against the bonds now scat
tered widely over the country In per
haps 500 different national banka.
The twnks now bedding the bonds,
however have an alternative in that
they may 'Hit;, in through purchase
other fe feral bond- bearing the oir
culrtion privilege and merely sub
stitute the outstanding- sei uritles for
those to he retired.
The b an of 1925 automatically ma
tures next February under its 30
yoar life and the law providing for
its retirement specifies that tne treas
ury shall give three months notice to
holders of the securities. The an
nouncement of plans for redemption
was made tonight in accordance with
that provision.
Many Ranks \uticipate.
Ir. id it >n i 'he <11 -.iiO- '0 to be
nakl oil there will remain i utslanding
tends hearing the circulation privil
ege to the amount of almost $T50,
<>00,0110. Pi\ hundred million dollar*
in these securities—the 2 per cent
r -nr.ois—will mature in 1950 an ' the
remainder fall due in 1936 and 1938.
As the maturing bends are hc
! iv- by treasury - ’Hit; )■ to be held
in every section of th" >untry. tha
amount of null' nal bank note circti
lation t lie retired -n each lo ility
is expected to lie relatively small.
Some * fficiais believe the actual re
lii • ment in February w ill he ma
terially reduced, as r- ny ,.f • s9
banks, they said, already have antici
pated the retirement and have pur
chased other federal securities to
p!a>c Ik* hind their own currency is
sues.
