CINCINNATI WATER

Cincinnati, December 9-Relief from
the serious conditions caused by water
famine in this city, due to the breaking
of a huge water main, has been promised
by city officials early tomorrow. Work
on repairing the. break had progressed
10 rapidly today that the city engineer
felt confident that water would be al
lowed to flow through the main early to-
morrow and that normal conditions would
be resumed by noon.
The water supply in the central por-
tion of the city again failed this after
noon. However, most of the manufact-
uring plants did not attempt to open to-
day and the water was diverted to hos
pitfalls, hotels, restaurants and other
places In which it was vitality needed.
Firemen and police kept a close watch
on the fire situation and the few fires
which broke out were quickly extin-
guished by automobile chemical engines.
1t was estimated that more than 60,000
persons were thrown out of employment
temporarily by the shutting down of man
ufacturing plants. Office buildings had
great difficulty in supplying water to
tenants.
Tonight conditions were slightly I'M
proved except in hotels, which still re-
fused bathing privileges to their guests.

STANDING ARMY
OF UNITED STATES
SHOWS DECREASE
General Andrews Comments
on Annual Report-Says
so Per Cent of Appli-
cants Were Rejected

Washington. December 9.-With its au-
thorized strength increased by 1852 men,
the United States army lost instead of
gained numbers during the fiscal year
just closed. Including the Philippine
scouts the army had $3.50 men, compared
with S7,965 II months before.
Adjt. Gen. George Andrews, in his an
nual report, made public today, com
mented upon the fact that so per cent
of the applicants for enlistment at re-
cruiting stations were rejected while IA
per cent of those accepted at recruiting
stations subsequently were rejected at
depots.
Out of a total of 25.0S6 enlistments dur
ing the last fiscal year. 1892 were ma
tive white; 1866 foreign white; 9O49 colored;
81 Indians; ZIG Porto Ricans and 627 Fill
pinos.
4451 Desertions
Desertions during the year aggregated
4451, or 5.4s per cent of the enlisted force
of the army, as against 4.43 per cent dur
ing the preceding fiscal year. The Ninth
and Tenth cavalry, negroT regiments, and
the Fifth infantry, had the smallest num-
ber of desertions.
The Union part of the roster of officers
and enlisted men of Union and Confed-
crate armies has long since been virtually
completed, General Andrews said, and the
work on the Confederate records has pro.
gressed so far that the clerical force is
now engaged in reproducing the records
of the Virginia organization, which prob
ably will be completed this year. This
leaves to be done only that work relat-
ing to the Confederate organizations not
credited to any particular state.

Judge Aldrich Will Render Decision


Washington, December 9.-Judge AL
not pass upon the constitutional ques-
tions involved in the Thaw case but would
forward them promptly to the supreme
court of the United States was not taken
in supreme court circles as meaning that
the case would come to the highest court
without at least the form of a decision
by Judge Aldrich the pending habeas
corpus application.
Only the federal court of appeals, 1t
was pointed out, may certify questions
of law to the supreme court for answer
before they have acted themselves, and
this can be done only in cases where the
decisions of the circuit courts of ap
peal are final.
The only way in which the Thaw case
may come from the district court to the
supreme court Is said to be by way of
appeal from a decision rendered by Judge
Aldrich. In several cases In recent years,
however where the district judges con-
sidered the case before them was of such
Importance that the supreme court would
be asked to review the matter the judges
have not considered at length and passed
upon the intricate points raised. but have
promptly handed down decisions from
which appeals might be taken regarding
any efforts they might make as labor
lost. This course was pursued in the re-
cent newspaper publicity case. which
came to the supreme court from the
southern district of New York.
AS recognized constitutional questions
are involved in the Thaw proceedings
an appeal from the district court may
go directly to the supreme court instead
of first to the circuit court of appeals.

RECENT ELECTIONS
NULL|F|ED BY THE
MEXICAN CONGRESS
Body Expects Huerta to
Remain in Presidential
Chair Seven More
Months

Mexico City, December 9.-The
Mexican Congress today nullified the
recent presidential elections. New
elections are called for next July.
Congress, according to this action,
expects General Huerta to remain in
the presidency for at least seven
months more and if the time neces-
sary for the selection and installation
of his successor is taken into con-
sideration, it will be well towards the
end of September, next year, before
he yields his power to another.
In voting tonight that the recent
presidential election was null the depu-
ties decided to fix the first Sunday III
July, 1914, as the date for the new
election. They also confirmed the po-
sition of General Huerta as provisional
president until then.
No Debate Accompanies Action
The action of the deputies was ac..
companied by no debate. The com
mittee's report was approved without
a dissenting vote as rapidly as the ar
ticles could be read.
1t was not until the last clause
was read, referring to General Huerta
as provisional President, that. the
chamber gave evidence other than tha t
of well trained organization. When
the reading clerk stopped some one be-
gan applauding and then instantly the
deputies were shouting "vivas'' for HUI
erta.
The presiding officer was finally able
to remind them that enthusiasm was
all every well, but that it was neces :
sary to ratify the enthusiasm by votes.
