The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-08-08

MEXICO CITY, Aug. S.-President
HIoerta s prestige among Mexicans in
the capital undoubtedly has been
strengthened by what is regarded as
his defiance of the United States.
Even those who had been lukewarm in
their support of the administration
profess admiration for the soldier
president who dared to talk back to
Washington, although not all of them
agree as to the wisdom of his course
and many of them consider that he
acted precipitately in view of he oil
clally defined intentions of Washing
ton.
Keen interest is being evineed as to
what the attitude of Washington will
be in the face of President Huerta :
defiance and speculation IS divided as
to whether Mr.. Lind Will be recalled
or permitted to continue as far as he
can and thus force the issue upon
President Huerta. Mexicans generally
of the conservative class appear to be
Heve that IIuerta Will not drive Mr.
Lind from the country, but Will be
content with ignoring him, except. per
haps, for subjecting him to surveillance
IN order TO see that he does nothin.
possible of being construed as mixing
IN the policies of the country.
Unless a radical change is effected in
the sentiment at the palace, Mr.. Lind
Will not be given an opportunity to
talk with President Huerta. even
though he is permitted to remain in
the capital; nor viii he be any more
successful IN meeting any official Of
the governor.

Last November.

BOSTON, Aug s.-The Southern

vide for the construction of the road
bed of its proposed extension from
Palmer to Providence, it was unoffici-
ally stated last night, and official or
ders have already been given to re
sumo the preliminary work between
Palmer and Woonsocket.
The cost of the roadbed forms a
large part of the cost of the entire con
structon owing to the hillv nature
or the ground through which the pro
posed extension is to be built, aud il
was stated with authority yesterday
that enough money was in sight to
provide for the completion of the ex-
tension on schedule time. The road
has until July, 1918, to complete build
ing.
Work on this extension was suddenly
halted in November of last year bv
order of President Edison j. Chamber
lin of the Grand Trunk, and he stated
IN explanation that unsettled condi-
tions in Europe had caused such
strlnPency in the money market that it
was impossible at that time to contin-
ue the work.
The first intimation that the prelim-
mary work was to be resumed came
Yesterday from an answer filed by the
Grand Trunk to suit brought
against the railroad by William NJ.

"SiXth, after careful investigation
into the assault on the Jail on the
night of August is, 1913. we find
that certain parties, utterly disre-
garding the lives of our offers and
the county property, did make an as
sault on the Jail with the intent of
taking the life of VIII Fair. We pre-
sent to the court w r. Belcher, Jesse
Wolfe, Bob Wilson and Robert Ward
and ask our solicitor to prosecute
them"
Bench warrants have been issued
for the arrest of the men named
above and placed in the hands of
officers who expect to have them in
custody by tomorrow.
One Of the men is an employe of
a telephone company, another is said
to be a farmer and still another a
mill operative, while the thirds oc-
cupation is unknown.
The men are to be vigorously pros
ecuted.

ly was carrying out trials in the chan
nels during the night and when the

llghts upon the stern of the doomed
ship while the rescue crew took all
