LIKE TO JOIN LEAGUE G ti General Obregon, Who Became Presi- hi dent Last Nighi, Says Country hi Will Not Seek Membership 0 AN INVITAION AWAITED P] h Now Chief Execttive Declares Article f< 27 of Constitution Will Not -Be Abrogated. New Proposal S Mexico City, Nov. 30.-"Mexico will I not ask admission to the League of M Nations, but should an invitation to J membership be extended by the league T it would be given consideration. ) This declaration was made by Gen. Alvaro Obregon, president-blect of the republic, in an interview today with B The Associated Press, (luring which he discussed various problems that 8 will demand his attention when he k assumes the presidency at midnight 0 tonight. Gen. Obregon said he was certain that the provisional government under f Prefident De La Huerta had not re- s quested such membership, and it was the intention, of his governmeni; to I continue this policy of aloofness, his attitude being that Mexico in making 1 overtures for membership in the 3 league would engage in a humiliating b act entirely ince' sistent with its tra- b ditional national pride. The correspondent was received in Gen. Obregon's home, adjacent to C Chapultepec Castle, the presidential (N residence, 'where for several weeks the president-elect beepuse of a slight a indisposition has conducted his affeirs. Gen. Obregon, who is in the best of w health now, prefaced his discussion p of Mexican problems with an expres- t sion of gratitude for the courtesy shown him by the hundreds of Amer acan visitors who are in Mexico City for his* inauguration. It- indicates a better feeling be- a tween the two countries, which will I continue to grow," he said. T Petroleum regulations, the labor situation, radicalism and his proposed legislative projects were discussed. "The great problem I face as the next Mexican executive is that of I general reconstruction," he declared. C "I have reflected my attitude toward b< various problems in a series of pro- to jects which I have already submitted t( to Congress for consideration. "Of first interest to Americans, of pi course, is the oil problem and- in this w connection I might say that article S1 XIV and XXVII will not be abrogated. w But I am sure that within a short ce time a commission will be appointed in .to regulate the application of these 11 articles- p I) ,I do not intend to make any rcc- at ommendations to Congress regarding se petroleum matters beyond urging that ai the commission be established and cn that all parties concerned be given e> fair and just treatment. I feel cor- , thin that this problem ultimately will tt be settled to the entire satisfaction im of all concerned." "One of Mexico's greatest problems at present is that of labor," said Gen. Obregon. "I am positiye that radical- U isi here is not so widespread that it constitutes a menace to the peace of MNlfvexico. However, I do recognize that the workers have a right to fight for the betterment of their conditions and my government will lend all Possible aid to secure such betterment, if the workers act within the law and order." The President-elect recently sub mitted to Congress a law which con templates a system of pensions and G insurance policies for employes who have grown old in service or who have become disabled as a result of their work. Certain awge increases. are also proposed by the law. Discussing another project recently at submittedl to Congress, in which he ei wishes to imerease the resrp~nsibili- 2t ties of the P'resident and his aidles, ms Geni. Obregon dleclared that the Con- di atitution of 1917 delivered too much al power to the Chief Executive without 4 providmig sufficient responsibilities, en and that it was the exercise of these th almost tyrannical powers by Car.. ge ranza that ledl to the revolution against him- i "I take the oath of oflire tonight Ii' with the profund feeling that I have I' an immense task before me," coni- de cluded the P'residlent-elect. "I shall p)1 strive to adiniister rmy ofilee with be due regardi to jnstice for all abiding m< by the law andl the Constitution. With th flhe cooperation of the country at le< large I hope to se?e unbroken peace eni andl the prosperity of mcy country." BOY K ILL!)

PONZI TO SERVE FIVE YEAR TERM Little Italian Appears in Court Same Dapper Man About Town as When on Crest. ,Boston, Nov. 30.-Charles Ponzi, promoter of the get rich quick scheme in which thousands of persons in vested millions of dollars before it collapsed last August, pleaded guilty to using the mails in a scheme to de fraud in the federal district court today. Sentence of five years in the Ply mouth county jail was imposed by .Judge Hale. The court took into con sideration only the first count of one iMictment of 43 counts, in which it was charged that Ponzi had repre sented falsely that he was able to pay interest at the rate of 50 per cent. in 45 days. The little 'Italian who with prison sentences in Canada and this country behind him, developed his supposed scheme of exchange in international postal reply coupons to proportions that made him a marked figure in finance only to have his house of easy money topple over onetim when the props of income from investors were pulled out, had an air of swag ger when lie faced the court. Ile was the same dapper man-about-town when he stepped from the Cambridge jail this morning as in the days when he was the idol of the street crowds. A new tailored suit, smart cravat, handkerchief in breast pocket and feet adorned with spats, made Ponzi again a man of presence. As lie faced another long prison sentence, lie wrote to the public "sic transit gloria mundi" (thus passes the glory of the world) and handed it to the press. When lie went up to the bench to plead a moment later he was emphatie when he said "1 (10, and was equal ly assertive as he made the plea "guilty" in loud tones in the next breath. Then Ponzi leaned over, rest ing his head on his arm, while he listened to his counsel's plea for a light sentence. Ponzi will begi nhis sentence at the county jail in Plymouth with 85 counts of the federal indictments agatinst him anld with charges of lar ceny in many ounts outstanding against him in the state courts. lie is duce also to face his creditors of whom there are more than 11,000 on )ecember 8 when he will be 'subject to their interrogations as to what he did with the millions entrusted to him, of which his federil receivers have been able to retrieve only a small part. In arguing on the question of s'en tence, )aniel 11. Coskley, senior coun sel for %n2i, tol dthe court that it was oMly after advice from counsel and meumbers of the discredit(d finan cier's family that he agreed to re tract his plea of not guilty and plead guihy in Jead.

"1any superintendents and teach. rs of the public schools in this state lo not seem to ble posted onl the com pulsory vaccination laws," said Dr. Ak. Hf. Haydenl, epidemiologist of the state board of health, yesterday. Recently Dr. Hayden has visited many sections from which reports lad come of outbreaks of smallpox. Ile said yesterday that at none of Lhe places visited had the school of Icials complied with the law requir.. mog vacciation of pupils before per.. mittimg them to enter school. "All of the towns and communities have visited," continued Dr. Hay ten, "have shown a willingness to !ooperate fully with efforts made to onserve the health of the childron in the public schools, and communi. Lies generally are taking precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. Tihefe are many teachers in the public schools who have not been Vaccinated,'' said Dr. Hayden. Dr. James A. Hayne, state health aflicer, has predicted several times Lhis fall a widespread epidemic of smallpox, holding that many people have not 1en vaccinated, -that al.. ready the diseases is widely scatter ,(I, and that the close confinement to warm rooms when colder weather ar rives will conspire to the spread of the malady. The regulation regards the vacci nation of school children, is clear. ["okowing is a copy of the Section.1582 )f th sanitary enod for South Caro. "No superintendent of any insti tution of learning, and no school board, or principal of any school in this state, shall admit as a pupil any hil or person who can not produie satisfactory evidence of having been vacemiated so often as the ordinance of the city or town in which the school is located,- or if not located within the city or town, so often as the rules and regulations of the state board of health may direct." This is the regulation of 1905. Another regulation of the sanitary code, as pointed out by Dr. layne ill that " each incorporated village, town and any city' of this state shall have and mainta in a board of health un der the direction and control, also, of the state board of health." Under the regulations having to do particularly with. schools, it is pro vi(ed that "No child shall be admit,. t(d to any school in South Carolina unless -successfully vaccinated within the last five years." From observations made by Dr. llayd(len in his e trips to variouat coimunities in) South Carolina, - the regulations with reganipt to comput s01r' vat-cination ar being disregard ed inl many sectiors, largely, he thinks, th rough igMorlance on the parit of teachers, of the rules--Tlte State.
