Lind to Mexico City
Washington 1). C Nov. 7. John
Lind's unexpected return last night
from Vera ruz to (Mexico City was

celved Intimation that Huerta Is
about to answer the American de-
mands for hLs resignation or wants
to conferwith Lind on additional steps.
When the cabinet meeting broke up
today the members refused to com-
ment on the dispatches relating to
Huerta's reply but admitted that the
Mexican situation had been discussed.

Arthur Hall who rooms at the Guil
lot home was awakened about 2 o
clock this morning by some one try

the pillow where his purse was depo

open by the intruder in case a hast

POSTPONED MEETING HELD YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON. CITIZENS
COMMITTEE ASKS HEARING
Yesterday afternoon the deferred reg
ular meeting of the city commissioners
was held at the council chambers and
aside "from the regular routine the
citizens' committee representing the
Ringllng right-of-way interests ap
peared before the council and asked
that an ordinance be drafted giving
the railroad owners the right to cross
certain streets and alleys of the city
and to maintain crossings. The com
mittee asked for the right to traverse
Sixth avenue S. 'W. but as that was
a privilege the council has no right
under the law to grant. It was sug
gested that they amend their ordi
nance and ask that the street be clos
ed and revert back to the abutting
property which was done and the
committee will draft a suitable ordi
nance and report back to the city
commissioners in a special meet ng
as soon as they can get everything
prepared.
The regular monthly bills against
the city were audited and ordered
paid.
Commissioner Fraley was absent be
ing confined to his home by a severe
attack of la grippe.
The resignation of Commissioner
Hridgman could not be acted upon
from the fact that after he presented
it there was no quorum present and
he is still on the city pay roll.
It is believed that if sufficient press.
ure is brought to bear upon the com
missioner he will rescind his action
and withdraw his resignation. With
this in view the mayor and the oth
er commissioners are working hard
to retain the services of Mr. Brlds
man as he has 'been In office a long
time and is thoroughly conversant
with every duty attached to his nosi
tion which would take a new man no
matter how competent some time to
learn.
However Commissioner Bridgman
is still on the job. and the mayor and
the reSt of the commissioners are go-
ing to do their best to keep him
there.

were forfeited and four absent wit
nesses were fined ten dollars each
and attachments issued for them.
Judge Freeman stated this morn-
ing that he was going to make an
effort to Impress it upon the minds
of people who willingly went on
bonds or law violators that they
had best have the defendants in
court when the case was calleed
or they woul-J be out the price of
the bond and he further stated that

be made in his court.

fine of ten dollars each against

Wl WANTS TD
INSTIL SEWERS
GOVERNMENT ASKS PERMISSION
TO OPEN STREETS AND LAY
SEWERS FROM FEDERAL LOT.
Tlie first intimation that ther-
might be something doing in the way
of beginning work on the federal
building here in the near future came
about yesterday afternoon when As-
sistant Postmaster Louis Boyd ap-
peared before the council and asked
permission to cut the streets ami
sidewalks and connect with the sew-
er and also that the water mains
be run to the curbs along the lot.
The board of city commissioners
granted p rmlsslon as requested ami
the work of putting down the lateral
sewer will begin at once. The ap-
propriation for the building was
made over two years ago and Con-
gressman Carter stated recently that
in his opinion nothing would be
done toward the erection of the
building before next sumemr or fall;
just why the government is asking
permission at this time to connect
the sewers is not known.
LAW i 0. LEAGUE
MAKE MOTTO "THE GREATEST OF
THESE IS CHARITY" ACCORDING
TO PLAN OF MRS. CURTIS.
Now that the work of the Law and
Order League will be rather light in
the future as all differences seem to
have been settled and the dove of
peace once more hovers over Ard-
more Mrs. Curtis county t roliatloii of-
ficer comes through with a good sug-
gestion that is worthy the considera
tion of every member of the league.
In an interview this morning she
stated that the city was full of chil-
dren who were unable to attend
srhool as their parents were unable
to buy necessary clothing for them
and that every day she wis called up-
on by some worthy person for assist-
ance. The county commissioners have
issued an order forbidding her from
contracting any more bills in her de
partment and she says if It was not
for Sheriff Garrett. Chief of Police
Hooker Assistant Chief Tucker and
the city and county officers generally
there would be many a poor creature
actually suffering this winter.
Yesterday Chief looker and Tuck-
er personally paid the expenses of
a woman and her child to Fort Worth
who had been abandoned here by a
worthless husband and Mrs. Curtis
stated that she was an object of pity
in the strictest sense of the word.
What Mrs. Curtis suggests is this
that every member of the Law and
Order League who pledges one dollar
per month for its maintenance pay
that amount to her and she can use
it where it would do some real good.
She says that whenever a case comes
up now the sheriff and the police of-
ficers of the city are called upon
and they personally solicit funds for
the immediate relief. If she had this
fund to work upon the merchants
and business men of the city would
i:ot be "panhandled" several times ev.
pry month or whenever ;he necessi-
ty arises. Mrs. Curtis suggests that
the league organize a charity auxili-
ary and run it on a business basis
SJ an 1 they would then have the saris-
j faction of knowing that they were
doing some real good for the city
and for humanitv.
