the estate, discovery Of new evidence
and that the evidence was insuffic-
lent to justify the verdict returned by
the jury. Mr.. Boyd said the estate
has the legal right to ask for more
time in which to file the notice of mo-

such request would be made. The
statutory time for filing the notice
expires Wednesday evening.

Also many stocks owned by Mr..

felt strongly this year, the sweet influences
of the spirit of Christmas. In myriad ways It is
ampled People have given with fine generosity to this
that and the other worthy object They have partic

With sincere interest They have voluntarily for

homes and places of business never before. They
have prepared elaborate Christmas musical programs
other entertainments for good purposes They have
contributed interesting and thoughtful opinions and
verses to the press They have sought out needy
families in private to help in quiet, unOstentatious
ways, for reward except the simple satisfaction Of
a good deed performed
And they have bought gifts in the stores with
lavish Iberality before approached. From the
stores carrying only goods of the expensive and
exclusive kinds clear down to the little shops serving
the poorer groups of the population there has been
unprecedented activity for many weeks. Christmas
business has broken all records of the past.
And it is noteworthy that unusual proportion
of gifts have been chosen for and practical service
Also that unusual proportion have been made up Of
things that the needy folk really WANT and many

1t is good to have the people stir themselves up this

but the Christmas spirit really does carry over long
ways the year Everybody is somehow softened
and given the privilege Of getting in closer touch with
his fellows.

Britain failed in her announced campaign to starve

ceeded far in conserving their food supplies and in

But the absolute prohibition of the shipping of hos
pal supplies is long step further in the direction of
total Decentralization. If Britain needed them herself,
there would be military justification even for
seizure of goods shipped from neutral countries through
the Red Cross. But Britain makes pretence that
these supplies needed by the allied troops.

Oregon, a Man Of Reserve

Gen Oregon has made most excellent impression
upon those FL PasOans who have met him personally
He appears to be of good deal Of force, though
quiet in his demeanor and essentially conservative IN
action There is absolutely nothing of the blusterer
or braggart about him. Nor does he talk much
of his patriotism, courage, loyalty. He is plain
spoken simple words and forms Of language
gesture sparingly, and bears himself like capable
military
The few writings to which he has signed his
since the Mexican revolution began are marked by
simple sraghforwaIdness and tone Of sincerity that
in strong contrast the great majority Of Mexican
"manifestos." Reading his published statements,
is impressed by his and his apparent attempt
to avoid overlooking His ideas of Mexican possibilities
in governmental reforms not radical those
OF many Of the revolutionary leaders, and he
be willing to work slowly through a practical program,
rather than try to destroy everything that is with
wild ideas of general reconstruction all at
