Rice, the British ambassador, has in

saying that good order prevailed in
the Mexican capital.
Charge Holster said Gen. Zapata was

there by one of his officers. He re
ported that there had been no execu.
ton in cases of crimes against good
order.
Consul Canada asked the state de.

stranded there.
In this connection the department
issued the following announcement:
MANY Americans returning to Vera

Stanley County Loses.

Pierre.-In the supreme court Judge
Mccoy, in the case of Peder N. Peder-
son VS.. Stanley county, decided the
county will have to return several
thousand dollars of taxes which were
paid by residents on a strip of terri
tory which was claimed by both Stan
lev and Lyman counties. While the
strip was in dispute both, counties
collected taxes from the residents.
Several years g the supreme u
held that the legal title of the strip
was in Lyman county, ard residents
began suit to recover the taxes they
had paid to Stanley county for the
wears of the dispute. The lower court
gave judgment to the plaintiffs and
on appeal the. supreme cour has af-
frmed the lower court and the county
will be compelled to repay the money
paid out as taxes with interest. in
another opinion by Justice Mccoy, in
the case of State VS.. James Cheering
ton from Lyman county, the lower
court judgment of guilty on a charge
of grand larceny is sustained. Among
the errors" alleged by the lower
court was that of allowing witnesses
from the state whose names had not
been Endorsed on the information to
testify. This, the supreme court holds,
was not error. That if the defense was
not ready to meet such evidence the
remedy was an affidavit for postpone
ment Of the case until they could pre-
pare to meet it, but SO long as they
allowed the case to proceed there was
no error in allowing the witnesses to
| testify.

WILSON IN PROTEST
PRESIDENT OF U. S. DIsAPPRoVES
USE OF AIR BOMBS.
COMMUNICATES to Diplomatic Repro
= r. sentatives In BeiIiserent Nations
Feelings About Attacks.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 30.-Presi
dent Wilson has communicated unof
ficially to the diplomatic representa-
tives OF the United States in the bel
ligerent countries of Europe his dis
approval of attacks with bombs from
aircraft dropped on unfortified cities
occupied by noncombatants.
The president was careful not to
take the matter up officially and did
not even make his communication
through the state department., but
personally addressed the American
ambassadors abroad.
President Wilson took this course,
1t became known today, nearly two
months ago. The facts came to light
through the publication Of a report
that the president had discussed the
subject with European diplomats here.
This, however, was denied by some OF
the prominent diplomats mentioned in
connection with 1t, including the Ger
man ambassador.
Just how the American diplomats
abroad were to convey President VIII
sons feeling to the foreign govern
ments has not been disclosed, as
White House officials refused to dis
cuss the subject in the absence of
the president. 1t Is believed here,
however, that the president called
attention to the article in The Hague
convention Of 1907. to which the prin-
cipal belligerents are signatory, which
provides for notice of "a hours before
bombardment Or attack. in order that
,noncombatants may remove them
selves from the danger zone.
Whether there have been unofficial
responses from the b~elligerents was
not known here, but American diplo-
mats were instructed by the president,
1t is understood, to handle the matter
with such discretion and delicacy as
to tend to end aerial attacks without
notice and at the same time preserve
the friendship which the United
States feels toward all the belligerents
involved.
