Concluding that the city has not
the right under the law to issue
harbor Improvement bonds for an
amount as large as $4,000 at this
time, Mayor Ferd Garretson has re-
fused TO approve resolutions adopted
by the Board of Aldermen on March

he says, as he is fully in accord with
the movement to improve the water
'front.', and he has long advocated the
establishment of a public dock.
Cause for refusal to sign the reso-
lutions in question was found under
section 10, chapter 161, of the laws
of 1911, states Mayor Garretson in
a letter accompanying the unsigned
document. The section provides that
bonds as those in question and other
bonds outstanding shall not at any
time exceed one half of one per cent.
of the assessed valuation according
to the last assessments. Mr.. Garrett
son states that it is understood this
would limit the harbor improvement

amount originally designated for
that purpose.

mayors letter accompanying 1t will

Torreon, Mex, April 6.-Some de-
lay was experienced today in the
mobbing of 500 Spaniards, who were
ordered deported by Gen. Villa, ow-
ing to the crowded condition of the
railroads between Torreon and Chi

sufficient rolling stock to accommo-

ride in box cars.
Indian runners brought messages
early today to General Villa from

HE ACCUSES GENERAL VILLA
Special By United Press Wire.


Washington, April 6.-Senor Del
Riano, Spanish ambassador today
said that he received confirmation
from the Spanish consul at Ell Paso
of the deportation of the Spaniards
from Torreon and the confiscatiou
of their property by General Villa.
The ambassador said that they we're
on their way to Ell Paso penniless
and that he expected to take up the
case with the state department this
afternoon.
Reports of impending recognition
of the belligerency of the Mexican
rebels are premature. President
Wilson said today that he has no re-
quest of this character from GEN
eral Carranza. He made 1t plain that
circumstances alone will determine
what action he will take in recogni-
tion of any government in Mexico
His hand may be forced by such de-
velopments, but unless this should
take place policy of non-recogni-
tion until a staple form of govern
ment has been established will be
pursued.

sued by Building Inspector M. J.
Mcnamara to the Baptist State
Convention, for the erection of a
frame, one story building for church
purposes on Alpine street. The
