hearing before Judge f.. l.. Waterman,
presiding Judge at this term of county
court. w. II. .idsit of this city was
nominated by a plurality of % votes

ence was represented by T. A. Ash
land, and the motion to dismiss the
petition was argued by V a. Bullard.
In support Of the petition asking for
the recount, Mr. Ashland placed three
members of the board Of civil authority

at the election, upon the witness stand.
John g. PiChe. the first witness testi-
fed that while there was a chance for
a mistake to occur in the counting of

lively that any mistake was made.
| Oscar Shepard, another ballot clerk.
stated that there might have been a
mistake. but he did not think so; there
was not any on his part Louis Alapa
/ thought that the votes were counted
/ correctly, so far as he knew. In dis
missing the petition, Judge Waterman
said there was not sufficient eVidenc.
of mistake in the counting to Justify
n recount of the ballots.

without the formality of a procla-

into Mexico was put into effect by
customs and military authorities
soon after Villas raid upon Column

The treasury has been urging the
broad order issued today to relieve
freight congestion at the border
cities and accommodate both Mexi-
cans and American industrial firms
in Mexico.
The customs division has received
many letters and kilograms asking
that goods which would not aid
Mexican military forces be permitted
TO pass. Many Of these requests have
come from mining men whose min
ing machinery has been tied up for
weeks.
The munitions embargo probably
will be maintained rigidly until con-
ditions in northern Mexico are more
settled, and differences between the
United States and the de facto gov
eminent have been adjusted.
