MORE DEPOSITS TO BE MADE.
Treasury VIII Turn Thirty or Forty
millions to the Banks.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.--The secretary
of the treasury today designated several
additional national banks as government
repositories to receive internal revenue re-
cefpts, and 1t is said will continue to do
SO until the total sum so deposited amounts
TO SCI, 900, 900 or SIC, 900, 900.
Deposits, however, will not be made with
the additional banks until the banks COM
prising the first group designated several
days ago have received deposits equal to
the amount of bonds turned into the treas
ury by them as security. which approx
mates $7, COO.
It is expected the deposits will begin to
be made under the new designations about
January 10. Any national bank owning or
controlling United States bonds willing to

Full Details

Full Details of the Recent Court Decision
New York, Dec Ain the suit of the
Sun Publishing Company versus De-
laney and others for IN injunction to
restrain the defendants from pursuing
an alleged boycott against the New
York Sun and Evening Sun, Justice
Bookstaver ordered journal entry to
be made yesterday afternoon. This
journal entry crystallizes the decision
already announced, but it came in the
nature of a great surprise to the de
PENDANTS counsel. The surprise was,
in fact. that the Journal entry was
much stronger than the original de-
cision seemed to indicate. The first
and most important article is very
sweeping. 1t is as follows: ''It is
ordered that the defendants. and each
of them. be and they are, and each
of them. is enjoined and restrained.
during the pendency of this action,
from advising or requesting, whether
by oral communications, by letters or
by printed circulars. the advertising
customers of this plaintiff or persons
who might become Its advertising Gus
toners to desist or refrain from adver-
tising in its said newspapers or either
of them, the Sun and the Evening Sun,
and by threats. intimidation, force or
fraud preventing any one or seeking
to prevent any one from selling said
papers,"
Attorneys for the defendants are pre-.
pairing an appeal. and they say the
case will be. carried to the courts of
last resort before they will give up
the battle.

mate. most conservatiyely made.
while the returns for five months of
the present fiscal year show an increase
over last year. In view of this pros
porous condition of Mexico's revenues
Minister Limantour sends several bills
to Congress of great Importance. Some
S+OOo,Oo0 are appropriated for public
works of prime necessity, including
new school houses in the federal dis
trict. the postoffice buildings here and
at Vera Cruz and other editices. The
government further proposes to pur-
chase some outstanding silver bonds
bearing 4 per cent. interest and will
also abolish export taxes on coffee,
which will be a boon to the coffee
growers. 1t viii, in addition. reduce

The government has now cash sur

amply able to carry out its reforms, as
revenues from all sources show nat

not once has he been suspended from

then, too, he has never been injured.
Green was born on September IL, 1927,

service stripes on his right arm.
For many years B. o. train EN-
