COSTS HIM $4,000 FOR
NOT READING DEED
DR.. w. B. Buchanan Builds
House Five Feet Over Line
Permitted in Subdivision.

DR.. W. B. Buchanan. 1877 Park road,
stands to lose 81, 900. besides facing a
long delay in the building of home at
Fourteenth and Emerson streets north
west. because he did not read his deed
before the work was begun.
After the framework of the house
had been constructed and the frame of
the roof was in place, the Piney Branch
Citizens Association brought the work
10 halt, declaring that the building
regulations of the subdivision had been
violated. in carrying the house from five
to six feet beyond the building line set
in the deeds.
A committee representing the Piney
Branch Association. consisting of DR..
c. E. Rice, chairman; H. c. Mcneil.
Bradford Knapp, and W. S. Bowen. was
named to confer with DR.. Buchanan
and inform him as to the objections.
The building work was stopped. pend
ing such time as a settlement is
reached.
Neither DR.. Buchanan nor his archi-
tect, w J. Marsh, had read the deed
carefully before building operations
were started. 1t was not known that
there was any violation of the building
framework of the house had been con-
structed. and II was seen to project be-
yond the adjoining home The work
then had progressed to the point that
necessitates rebuilding the foundation
and tearing down a portion of the
framework in order that such altera-
tons can be made as will bring the
property within the building regula-
tons
There was no violation of the city
building regulations, but of the cove
nants Of deeds to property in the sub
division. which provide that all build
ings shall be kept back eight feet from
the lot line.
Inasmuch as it is a short corner lot.
Dr. Buchanan does not believe there is
room to move the house back. Changes
in the plans probably will be necessary
when the work is resumed after what
tearing out of the work already done
has been finished. DR.. Buchanan be-
lieves the changes will cost him g, o1a.

DON'T LIKE PLAN.


DON'T LIKE PLAN.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. Increased
antagonism has been aroused among
Mcxicans toward Pres. Wilson'S plan
for the pacifcatiOn Of the republic by
the latest news from Washington
that the object of John Lind's visit
here as the personal representative
Of Pres. Wilson is 10 consult with
prominent Mexicans and advise them
that the only basis on which Mexico
will be recognized by the United
States is the elimination of Pres.
Huerta. Earlier reports that Mr..
Lind purposed to deal with Huerta
perhaps by making the direct sugges-
tion that he resigns ss5sFIere received
with indignation by Mexican officials.
May Expel Lind.
II was pointed out by a prominent
Mexican that in the former case the
government might not consider itself
obliged TO act until the suggestion
was actually put forward by Mr.
Lind. but that in the second case the
government would be justified in
characterizing him as one who was
melting Mexicans along lines or sedl-
ton and in applying the pernicious
foreign expulsion clause of the con
stitution. This Mexican also indi-
Gated that since Mr.. Lind was coming
to Mexico in an unofficial capacity
and with no credentials he could not
expect more consideration than any
ordinary foreigner would receive.
Mexicans familiar with interna-
tioraI law are reluctant TO believe
thar Mr.. Isind's instructions are for
him 10 deal with other than the
authorized officials Of the defactO
government These officials are still
firm in their assertion that no sug-
gestions whatever, involving media
tion or the resignation OF Huerta will
be acceptable and say that the best
that Mr. Lind can hope for in this
respect is 70 be ignored. However
the anti Huerta element, which is
not prominently in evidence in the
capital is skeptical regarding the
firm stand by the administration
