In the history OF engineering no under

an official photographer. who has devot-

Photographic record of the building of

ORDERED UP FOR REVIEW.
Liability Of Saloonkeepers for Deatl
of Woman's Husband Involved.

Associate Justice Van Devanter Of the
Supreme Court has issued directions for
the Nebraska supreme court to send up
for review a case in which Mrs. Charles
BuIger, a widow Of Lincoln. Neb., won
$2,750 damages from two saloonkeepers
on allegations that they made her hus-
band q habituai drunkard.
Mrs. Bulger sued under the Slocumb
law, making saloonkeepers responsible for
any injury caused by their sales OF liquor.
She began her action in her husband g
lifetime, claiming damages first for the
loss Of support, and when he died, in 1910,
from pneumonia contracted at his moth
er's grave, she amended her original COM
plaint by charging that drinking had
made him unable to resist the disease.
The two saloonkeepers contend the Slo-
cumb law Is unconstitutional, and the
case will be fought in the Supreme Court
on those grounds.

JOHN LIND At TAMP|CO;;
SITUATION SERIOUS THERE
Close Censorship Over Tele.
grams Means Only Meager
Reports to Mexico City.

MEXICO CITY. November 26.-The
visit OF John Lind, personal represent
ative of President Wilson, to Tampico
was first learned Of here through As
ISOLATED Press dispatches from Wash
ington. 1t is regarded as indicating a
more serious condition in that region
than was generally thought here to be
the case. Owing to the close censorship
over the federal telegraphs only meager
reports are reaching the federal capital
as to the state Of affairs in the provinces.
The reports issued by the government
indicate tat the administration feels
little apprehension over the rebel at
tacks on Tuxpam. 1t was said at the
war office today that the troops on the
way to Tuxpam from Tampico would be
sufficient to control the situation there.
From reports from along the railroad
1t seems that Tampico is the next place
likely TO be menaced by the rebels.
News has reached here of a general
movement by the rebel forces toward that
port since Gen. Candido Aguilar, the
rebel commander, demanded the sur
render Of Tuxpam.
