association meeting here in annual
convention We're advised today to pc
ritiOn the interstate commerce COM
mission for q. revision of the valuation
clauses in railroad contracts for the

tbe legal relations of sheep shippers
and railroads, declared that all the

contacts that each successive carrier
will not be liable for any damages"
said Mr.. Butler, except on its own
road which provisions, except so far
as thew concern the initial carrier is
suing tie contract, are contrary to
the Car1Wack amendment
"Another very important feature OF
these live stock contracts is the pro-
vision which prescribes the valuation
of sheep at from SO to So a head 1t
is contended by the carrier that this
clause prescribed the limit for which
clause. together with all other clauses
in the live stock contracts, are based
unOn the rate or tariff paid for trans
DOrtation. services. These rates, I have
been given to understand, have been
substantially increased during the last
10 years with no corresponding in
crease in this valuation clause This
is wrong and it is very essential that
the shippers present a petition to the
iDterstafe commerce commission to
correct this valuation clause by pro-
per increase for, as it now stands, it
has been held valid by various United
States courts of appeals

GUTIERREZ IS NOW IN
MEXICO CITY PALACE
Provisional President Installed
in National Headquarters,
Juarez Reports.

JUAREZ, Dec. 3.-Gen. Guterriez,
who was elected provisional president
of Mexico by the Aguas Calientes
peace convention, has entered Mexico
City and established himself in the
national palace, according to informa-
ton received here today from the
south.
Mexico City is quiet, the city being
policed by soldiers of Gen. Villas con-
tion has been issued from the national
palace proclaiming provisional Pres't
GuterrieZ the constitutional executive.
All persons hostile TO the Guterriez
government are termed traitors. 1t
was learned that when Villas soldiers
under Raol Madero captured Pachuca
Gen. Carranza had a narrow escape
from capture. Carranza fed with
such precipitate haste that he left
his sword and many valuable personal
papers behind.
WASHINGTON, Dec Gen. Villa
has issued orders to his troops to
maintain order in Mexico City and has
guaranteed protection TO private
property in preparation for the formal
entry into the national palace of Gen.
GuterrieZ, the new provisional presi-
dent This report was received today
at the state department from Consul
General Silliman. Consul SilliThan
also reported that the street railways
in Mexico City are operating and all
of the employees have been granted a
% per cent increase in wages. The
Mexican national railway is reported
TO have been badly damaged by the
CarranZaistas.
Unofficial advices reaching here to-
day indicated that Villa and Zapata
are expected TO begin their march
against Carranza next week. Reports
of deSertions from the ranks Of the
first chief" are believed here to have
caused the two generals to determine
to act quickly. Carranza is heavily
entrenched at Vera Cruz. and military
experts look for a heavy loss Of life
to the Villa forces when they make
an assault on the city.

The liquor license of the Avenue
Hotel Co. was suspended for 60 days
by Mayor Keller Thursday morning.
This is the decision reached after
more than a week Of legal battles,
technical questions and investigation
into charges preferred against the
hotel bar and its proprietor by Chief
of Police Kerr.
A petition for the revocation of
the hotels license was filed by Chief
Kerr with Mayor Keller more than
week ago The first hearing was set
for Nov. 2S, at which time after the
states case had been set before the
mayor a restraining order was issued
from Superior Court Judge Van Fleet
which withheld the mayor from MAX
ing a decision in the matter until the
matter of an injunction had been
'threshed out in his court on Nov. so.
On Dec 1 the injunction was re-
fused and the case was set for hear
ing Thursday morning. After 20
minutes of argument by Atty. George
Sands for the hotel company, of
which Mr.. and Mrs. William Huff
man of Sherman are principal stock
holders, the mayor consented to grant
a suspension of 60 days instead of a
revocation.
1t was stated by the mayor that the
suspension was granted upon the
recommendation of Chief Kerr with
whom Sands was closeted for some
time Wednesday afternoon. While
the nature OF this interview was not
made public it was said that charges
in the petition were practically ad-
mitted and that the hotel owners
promised, through counsel, to change
its management if the authorities
would see fit to be lenient
Promise to BE Good.
