FEDERAL TROOPS
FEAR AN, ATTACK
Huerta Concentrating Large
Force at Neuvo Leon for
Battle With Rebels.
PLANNING MEXICAN POLICY
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
Hold Extended Conference Over
Matter-May Recognize Bel
igenancy of Rebels.

Laredo, Texas, Nov. 3.-Fearing an
attack upon Nuevo Leon across the
Rio Grande by the constitutionalists
as the federals are concentrating a
large force at that place. A thousand
soldiers commanded by General Domi-
niQuez have been withdrawn from Viii
Ia L'Dama in addition to a force Of
six hundred under Col. Gundajara to
protect Nuevo Leon. There are now
1900 soldiers in the town, hundreds
are pouring in from neighboring
ranches and villages for protection.
Planning Mexican Policy.
Washington, Nov. with a long
conference between President Wilson
and Secretary of State Bryan the de-
velopment of the new Mexican policy
of the administration advanced one
more step. The reports of Envoy Lind
| in Mexico regarding the activities of
President Huerta now are assuming
greater detail and President Wilson is
| basing certain features of his policy
upon them.
| 1t is reported that Mr.. Lind is pes
| simistic over the prospect of getting
an early announcement from General.
Huerta as to the result of the cleo
ton. President Wilson now is waiting
for this announcement, but it has be-
come obvious that dilatory tactics are
being pursued to force the United
States into an awkward position.
May Recognize BelIigerants.
1t IS probable therefore that the
president will take decisive action
without regard to it, This is expected
to be recognition of the belligerency
of the constitutionalists which is a
cardinal feature of the new policy.
That President Wilson has succeed
ed in blocking the vigorous pro-Huerta
Garden, the British minister to Mex
leo, is accepted as fact in admins
tration circles.
Lind to Tell Ruling to Enjoys
John Lind will communicate the
American policy regarding Mexico to
the representatives of the powers now
gathered at Vera Cruz, according to a
rumor current in Washington.
Guarded by Mexican federal troops,
diplomats representing the United
States, Germany, France and other
nations are assembled in the Mexican
city, and although the exact purpose
Of the conference has not been made
public, indications point to important
developments along this line. 1t is
believed that after President Wilson
has announced his policy at this con-
| fnrnnan inf tinno1 noUoi dom.
onstration in Mexican waters will tes-
tify to the powers support of the
Washington ultimatum.

City Is Not Liable.

When a city establishes the first
grade of a street it is not liable for
damages done the property by reason
of the establishment Of the grade. The
Appellate Court so decided in the case
of Louis Gernert, of Louisville, against
the city of Louisville, IN which the
Judgment sustaining the general de-
murrer to her petition for damages
was affirmed. The limits of Louisville
were. so extended as to take in a part
of Jefferson county through which the
Bardstown pike runs, and the city
laid an asphalt street along the pike,
making a grade, as Mrs. Gernert
claimed, that damaged Ter property.
As it was the first grade made by the
city, the court held that Mrs. Gernert
could not recover damages.

Judge Dissents From Opinion.

Contracts made by telephone

ellis of cities in which they are
trying to secure or have secured a
franchise should be carried out, and
they should not be permitted to in
crease these rates in new chanchise(
Such is the opinion of Appellate Judge
Carroll, which is expressed in his dis.
senting opinion in the case of Keene
Lutes against the Fayette Home Tele-
Phone Company. He says:
The facts of this case, as stated in
the opinion, furnish striking illus
tration of the reasons why the doc
trine announced in the opinion should
not prevail. Under the franchise the
telephone company obligated itself TO
furnish to the people of Lexington 4or
term of years business phones at $50
per annum and residence telephones
! at SIS per annum. Under the new
| contract made between the Council
and the telephone company the tele-
phone company was allowed to charge
and exact without limitation any fee
it might fix, and, in fact, did charge
for business phones $42 and for resi-
dence telephones $24. For this large
increase in rates, which may be fur

the franchise contract The right to
levy this excess rate on the people
of Lexington was bonus or gift pre-
sented to the telephone company by
the Council without consideration Of

pany; the only losers the people.

opinion is to prevail, then any public

Judge Carroll, who dissehted in tn,

that case. In the Louisville Hom
Telephone case the Council require,
the telephone company to go througI

it could relieve itself of the obliga
tons imposed by it's first franchis
contract In this case the Council
boldly undertook by an ordinance t

/ holds that a Council may at any tim
