Diaz has not sent telegram asking
General Huerta to resign nor has he
forwarded cablegram to the Mexi-
can provisional president in any other
sense, declared a member of the
Mexican ex-president's household here
today, when told OF the report pub
lished in the United Stares to the ef-
feet that General Diaz had telegraph
ically urged General Huerta to retire
for the good Of his country.
Persons who know the ex-president
intimately said that any such sugges-

wholly inconsistent with the fixed res

COURT SU AINS The
OWNERS GONILNTION
ENJolNc ASSESSORS FROM RAls-
ING THE VALUATIONS OF
GRAZING LANDS

Judge David j. Leahy yesterday al
ternon issued an injunction restrain
ing the assessors Of San Miguel and
Mora counties from making the raises
ordered in the valuation Of grazing
lands in both counties ordered by the
state board OF equalization for pur-
poses Of taxation in 1912. The plain
tiffs in the action were property
owners in Mora and San Miguel coun-
ties.
Last year the boards OF commits
slonefs OF Tue two counties, basing
their figures upon the returns made
by the taxpayers fixed the valuation
of grazing lands at 40 cents an acre.
Shortly afterwards the state board OF
equalization ordered the Mora county
grazing lands to be raised to not less
than rs cents an acre and the San
Miguel county lands to not less than
so cents an acre. Believing this ac
tion to have been unfair, the proper
ty owners began the action in court
which resulted in the issuing Of the
injunction yesterday.
The manifest unfairness OF the
equalization boards action was most
apparent at the boundary line between
San Miguel and Mora counties. On
one side Of an imaginary line the
land was taxed at rs cents an acre,
while on the other it was taxed at 80
cents. The action Of the board was
attacked, too, because it fixed the fig
ures at mot less than so cents and
not less than rs cents in the re-
spective counties, while it is author
lied only to fix actual and not mini
mum values.
The Mora county taxpayers who
were plaintiffs in the action were the
Butler estate, Captain w. B. Brunton,
DR.. W. r. Tipton, the Union Lard
and Grazing company, William J. Lu
cas-, S. Vorenberg, A. O. Jahren, vi
cente Mares, J. P. Van Houten, ]. "A
Drake, Louis Kroenig. Charles E
Blattman and several others. The
San Miguel county property owner
to resist the equalization boards or
ders was the Red River Ranch com
pany. spiess and Davis represented
all the plaintiffs. William G. Hay
don and William J. Lucas were asso
ciated with them in the Mora county

Goth Teams in Good Shape
Rain was falling here today when
the Princeton football players jump
ed out of their beds and took a peek
at the weather to see what the con
ditions were for their annual contest
with the Harvard eleven The precip-
itation was light, however. The grid
iron at University field was covered
after practice yesterday and was in
good condition
While Harvard was conceded by
many critics to have the strongest
team, both on the offense and de
fense, Princeton supporters were de-
cidedly optimistic and took nearly all
the Harvard money offered at odds
varying from 10 to to 4 to 9. With
one, exception both eleVens were said
by the coaches to be in excellent CON
dition. J. H. Baker, the Tiger quar-
terback, is on the injured list, having
hurt his knee earlier in the week dur
ing practice.
The Crimson squad, accompanied
by six coaches and the usual retinue
Of trainers and rubbers, arrived in
Princeton shortly before noon, having
spent last night in New York.
