APPELLANTS COUNSEL SAYS
REGULATION HAS NO PEN
Atty CLAUSE.

Fined $40 each In Police court for
refusing to obey a regulation of the
health depa rient that stables where
ohrses are kept must have concrete or
other floors in which there are no
cracks" owners Of three stables are
now before Judge Richardson In the
Hastings court on appeal. The argu-
rnents of the case began yesterday
morning. continued through the after
noon and VIII probably be concluded
today.
The three stable owners are A. w.
Bennett Nelson and Henry Cauthorne.
trading as Cauthorne Brothers, and G.
s. Smith They are represented by
Charles " Meredith. while Assistant
City Attorney G. A. Anderson is ap-
pearing in defense of the regulation.
Mr. Meredith yesterday moved to
ouash the summons against plaintiffs
on the grounds the charter of the city
gives no power to the city council to
give the authority claimed by the
board of health: that the ordinance
passed by the city council does not
give the authority that has been AS
sumed by the board of health in the
adopting this rule or regulation under
which the summons are Issued; that II
the ordinance does grant such au-
thoruy and tho city council has au-
thority to pass 1t. yet 1t liz an I'M
reasonable ordinance. that there 1s nc
legitimate authority in the ordinance
to fine the defendants for the dis
obedience OF the regulation. that there
is no penalty clause attached.

NO BOND ISSUE
FOR NEW HAVEN
SUPREME COURT ANNULS DE-
CISION OF PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION.

BOSTON, Jan. 9.---The Supreme
court Of Massachusetts. by a unanf-
nous decision. handed down late this
afternoon, annulled the order of the
public service commission permitting
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad to issue $67,552.00 in
twenty six year six per cent converti-
bic debenture bonds
The matter came before the court
on the appeal from the commissions
order, made by Morgan @. Rulkeley,
of Hartford. and several other New
Haven minority stockholders, the
commission standing four to one IN
favor of granting the railroads Pc
tition for permission ITO ISSUE the
bonds. Mr.. Bulkeley'e counsel par
ticularly attacked the convertible fea-
ture of the proposed bond issue, al
leging that it was gambling upon the
future value of the stock"
The court says In It's decision:
hits order IS aSsailed on the
ground. among others. that the COM
mission had no legal power to approve
the issue OF evidences OF Indebtedness,
called for convenience convertible de-
bentures. exchangeable for stock at
par at the option of the holder for
period of ten years, beginning five
years after their date.
Tho approval ny tho commission
OF an issue OF stock must necessa rily
relate to the present and not ~ a
remote future.
There d. an inherent element Of
uncertainty and speculation in An OBJ
ngation Of this character which Ia
incompatible with present opinion.
based upon known conditions ~ 70
tho value Of Its component elements.
'"rhc amount OF stock which the
commission can inteiligently approve
TO be Issued is inseparable from tho
price at which 1t is to DO issued.
mo request has been made for tho
approval OF an Issue OF bonds without
the convcrtlble-lnto-s feature.
Apparently no vote has been passed
by tho Stockholders for an issue OF
that kind. Conclusion follows that
the order approving tho Issue Of CON
vertibie debentures ana Of stock was
beyond the nuthorftyNof the commits
sion. and hence must be quashed.

painting which for the last six years

There will be no haste In taking
extreme steps by the district attorney.
Hope that a definite, comprehe nsive
statement Of affairs could be made
in a day or two was blasted by the
experts, because Of the difficulty en-
countered over untangling the r1ys-
FERROUS system OF bookkeeping.
one of the reasons for this state
OF affairs was the discovery by the
bank book men that, although the
various stores were set forth as owing
SO much to the bank there, was not a
single promissory note in existence to
establish that Indebtedness.
There was only one strain on the
bank In all it's career, End that was
during It's last month. The daily re-
ceipts in deposits ran around $4,000
with twenty per cent Withdrawals, but
on this last month of December some

posted was drawn out IN that month

HUERTA PUBLISHES
SWEEPING DENIAL
HE DENIES EVERYTHING AND
THEN DOES TT ALL OVER
AGAIN.

LONDON, Jan. 1a.--The Times prints
a cable dispatch from its Mexico City
correspondent this morning, giving a
statement from President Huerta about
the rumors that the latter offered to
resign the presidency.
General Huerta, who wrote the state
ment for the British correspondent
says the report is absolutely false. as he
long ago determined to sacrifice even
his life in the service OF his~-eountry
1t is equally false he adds that he in
tends to influence the next elections
which will be held when congress sets
a date. This date will depend on the
condition of the country.
Similar absolute denial is made OF the
report that General Huerta ever ar
ranged to meet John Lind. President
wilson's special envoy, and failed. and
equally false, says the president. Is tho
report that John Lind ever asked him
THE Mexican government would
never have tolerated such Interference
In matters solely concerning Mexico,
he says.
The resignation of Garxa Aldape. It r.
explained, was requested by Foreign
Minister Moheno, at the order OF Gen.
eral Huerta, when Cara Aldape least
expected II. and II had nothing to do
with the opening or the new congress.
Cara Aldape has not been picked to
succeed Senior Francisco de la Barra as
Mexican minister to France. so the re-
moval OF the latter from the post has
not been thought OF.
General Huerta says he never con-
sidered the possibility of an American
blockade of Mexican ports or that he
resides at the castle of Chapultepec or
surrounded himself with troops there.
