WIN IN
INJUNCTION CASE
ACTION INVOLVED THE VALID
ITY OF A MORTGAGE PLACED
ON CROPS

Judge Averill today decided the in
junction suit of H. D. & L. D. Porter
of Rhyolite vs.. S. S. Lockett and E.
f. Palmer, in favor of the plaintiffs
The case was on trial about week
and involved the validity of chat
tel mortgage, executed by Lockett
some years ago to Porter Brothers to
secure some $1,000 1t covered crops
grown on Lockett's ranch at Beatty.
Thereafter Lockett delivered produce
from the ranch to Porter Brothers
but at the same time traded at their
store and obtained money, which to-
gether amounted to more than the
value of the produce delivered. Later
Lockett went through bankruptcy and
when the mortgage was sought to be
enforced, he claimed the produce
should apply to the mortgage and that
the open account was cut off by the
bankruptcy.
The Porters contended that the
produce was in fact credited on the
open account and hence the mortgage
vas intact. The mortgage had been
held invalid az to third parties by
an earlier action OF the court, and
this suit was to enjoin Lockett from
selling produce to third parties, that
being the only method open to the
Porters to protect their rights. The
court sustained the Porter brothers
contentious throughout and upheld
the injunction. J. X. Chambers and
III. II. Cooke appeared as counsel for
Porter Brothers and H. II. Atkinson
for the defendants.

BULGARIA IS ASKED
TO COME OUT IN OPEN

and asks Bulgaria If the concessions
secured through the joint oHices Of
the allies will bring about Bulgaria's
cooperation with other Balkan states.
What. II any reference to Grsece. is
not disclosed, but II appears to be
considered that Sreb.a's concession
should sufice to secure Bulgaria's ad-
herence to the Balkan union. While
the exact limits to the Macedonian
territory, which Serbia comedies are
not known the concession is believed
to cover all the territory east OF the
Vardar river with a possible neutral
zone west Of the river. Such. con-
cession would give Bulgaria territory
along her western frontier and would
leave Serbia an opportunity to ex-
pand northward and westward the
territory now controlled by Austria.

transfer are considered here as pre-.

very largely now with our opponents,
therefore, to provide the necessary re-

CONFERENCE
DECIDES TO
RECOMMEND
That Time is at Hand to Extend.
Recognition to a Govern
mentin Mexico.
SEPARATE SUGGESTIONS
Which One TO Be Recognized
will Be Decided at Meeting
Three Weeks Hence.

NEW YORK, Sept. IS.1The Pan,
american Conference on Mexican af-
fairs announced at the conclusion OF
It's meetfg today that each of the din
lomatic representatives would recon-
mend to his government that IN his
judgment the time has now come to
extend recognition to government
IN Mexico.
After declaring that the defacto
government, aspiring to recognition
must possess moral capacity necessary
to protect the lives of nationals and
foreigners. the conference announced
in a settlemet that each of the par
ticipatsng governments shall Judge
such capacity and recognition viii
likewise be extended by each govern
ment separately at such time as it
may deem proper. s.7.ss
The statement makes no definite
announcement Regarding the time Of
Recommendation, nut ft d expected
Ifthat it will come With the next few
weeks.
Secretary Lansing announced that
the question Of recognition would be
further considered at q meeting of
the Pan-American diplomats, to be
held in Washington three weeks from
today. At this meeting, 1t is under
stood, the decision as to what gov
eminent to recognize in Mexico will
be made.
Unless the military situation in
Mexico takes a decided turn within
the next three weeks in favor OF
General Villa who has concentrated
/ his forces for battle with General
Obregon. the Caranza COMMANDER in
chief at Torreon, most of the con-
ferees were of the opinion that tho
Carranza government would logical
ly be entitled to recognition. The
several governments will endeavor
to learn not only that territory each
faction controls but what promise
of stability the factions giYa that
aspire to recognition. To determine
exactly what is the status OF the DIFF
ferent factions the several govern
ments will examine The situation
each in its own way. The United
States will seek to form its iudg-
ment through long and exhaustive
reports from its consuls, supple
mented by personal contcrea aces in
Washington between Secretary Ian
sing and representatives of all groups
and elements. They will be heard
impartially as to their claims and
members OF the Pan American con
ference can attend such Informal
conferences or hearings, IL they de-
sire, but no obligation is ipmosed on
any Of the Pan-American govern
ments to join the United States In
such a course.
While some OF the conferees may
at the end of three weeks reach diff
ferent conclusions as to the govern
ment that ought to be recognized,
confidence was expressed by many
