THUAX JUDGMENT

Mrs. Hattie p. Truax was awarded
$75 judgment by Judge Franklin j.
Cole yesterday in an acton against
the Delta Implement company to re-
cover on levy on her personal prop
erty.
Some time ago, w. O. TruaX was
convicted of being a member Of a
gang og flrebugs. At the time the
Delta Implement Company secured
judgment against him for 500. Mrs.
Truax contended that the implement
c company levied against her personal
property to satisfy that Judgment
In justice court, Mrs. Truax was
allowed judgment for $215, by JUS
tice Mayfield but an appeal was taken
to the superior court. The plaintiff
sued to recover on an attachment on
horse, buggy and colt also rent OF
q dwelling house. Judge Coles ruling
on the first count was for the defend
ant, but for the plaintiff on the Sc
cond holding, that the house in ques-
on was the property of the wife and
therefore the rent could not be at
tachod for the Judgment against the
husband.

 That is the reason the Mexican government has insisted in its notes to Washington that the limits of the zone which may be traversed by any punitive expeditions extend not far ther than forty miles, nor in our opinion should punitive expeditions be allowed in the territory of either country for an unlimited time. Our note of March IS, article 8, specifies the number of troops which may pass the boundary line must never exceed 1000, and these must not re- main in the zone for more than five days, except in very unusual cases"

LIMIT OF 1000 IS
 PLACED BY MEXICO
Believes U. s. Expedition Should
 Not Exceed That Number

Mexico City, April 15.-The Mexi- flexible determination that any armed expedition of the United States which enters Mexican territory in the guise or punitive expedition must be limited to 1000 men of one service alone, cavalry, according to a. ,state- ment made to the Associated Press yesterday by Juan Neftali Amador sub-secretary of foreign relations at Mexico City. During the absence of General Candido Aguilar, minister of foreign relations, in Queretaro Sub Secretary Amador is in charge of the foreign office and is conducting it's course in international affairs.
 The Mexican government has contended in all of it's notes to the Washington state department" said the sub-secretary, that the sending Of heavy artillery and slow-marchink infantry on a punitive expedition is illogical, and that the work of the present so-called punitive expedition has more than demonstrated this, for they nave accomplished absolutely nothing. Mexico will and has in all
 
 insisted that all punitive expeditions must be limited to certain restricted areas The request of the United States that the present expedition be considered exceptional cannot be agreed to by the Mexican govern ment for the very good reason that each day it's presence so far inland does but excite our people. This is heing taken advantage of by enemies of the constitutionalist government wo are endeavoring to stage incidents that will cause grave international complications.
 The Parral incident is a ( in point. l consider this happen1ns the last drop in the buckeet and believe that when the American people and the American government realize it's full significance they will gladly accede to Mexico's request and in the interest of peace and in line with the traditional friendship which ex- ists between thetwo countries, will withdraw thetroops.
 Purpose of Expedition Not Questioned
 ''No one has ever questioned the

 ernment. One of them fired point blank at an American soldier, killing him. General shooting then began. Although the soldiers had orders not to enter towns, these men were forced into Parral because they could get nothing to eat in the surrounding country and were so far from the border that it was i'm mpossible to send them provisions without giving this

| Lringing the payroll to the factory. Miss Martin was not attacked or l injured at all in the holdup, as the man simply grabbed the bag and made his getaway.
 Miss Martin was on the verge of | a nervous collapse last night at her home, fl Pearl street, as 8, result of the holdup. It is her opinion that the affair was deliberately planned by someone who knew that she was in the habit of going to the bank on Friday afternoons for the money.
 She briefly described the circum-
 staces of the robbery as follows: 1T
 had just gotten off the Winchester avenue car in front of the factory,
 about 1:40, and was about to go up
 the steps which lead into the Pfeghar
 office, when I was accosted by the
 man. I had noticed him before go
 up and try the door that leads into
 the employees rooms, but paid no at
 tention to him at that time. He
 stepped up in front of me as I was
 about to mount the stairs leading into
 the factory and muttered something
 about getting work in the factory. l
 was telling him that we were not
 hiring any men at the present time, when he suddenly reached out and snatched the bag that 1 held in my
 hands. Swiftly turning, he ran at top speed into an open lot just south of the factory office and turned to the left as if to go down the railroad tracks,
 Miss Martin said that she at tempted to follow him for a time, but that he gained so fast she was obliged IL I Al~ she could not accurately describe him, but that he was a man of middle height and build, was clean-shaven, and, to the best of her knowledge, she thought he had on a blue suit of clothes. His eyes she thought were dark.
 Presidents Statement.
 In commenting on the case last night H. w. Ibelshauser, president of the company, said that he had never considered that it was unwise to let a woman, unarmed or unattended by a guard, carry the money of the firm aS she always took the car in front of the factory and got off at the bank e rner There seemed practically no chance, he pointed out, of her being robbed on account of this.
 Speaking for the company he said: I've do not think any blame attaches to any one for the loss of the money. It was one of those unavoidable oc- currences which come every so often.''
 Captain Donnelly, in commenting on the case last night said: T feel that the bold robbery is a severe ar- raignment of the lax system employed by New Haven business houses and factories in the transfer of money to and from local banks. It seems should have their clerks carry large amounts of money through the New Haven streets without any means of resistance, at their command in the event of an attempted robbery. Crooks are in New Haven and in every city, who are but waiting a chance to steal and rob. There is too much false security abroad, which I think is bred by the reform system and parole system in vogue ir the prisons of the country. A pro- fessional criminal never reforms. This is my experience with the class And why New Haven merchants give this class of people a chance to operate by their lax methods is be- yond my comprehension. The police is always willing to give r?1 oney safe convey to any part of the city"

Recently the territory ceded to the

tween the Pali and Kaneohe were

said, may be the station of q large

1t has been tentatively suggested

should be stationed In Honolulu, and
besides sending them to Fort Ruger,

largest share, new quarters may be

MURRAY FAVORS
BONDSFOR WATER
MAIN EXTENSION
Thinks Pipes Should Be Put
Down Before Every Lot and
House in City Limits

That the city should float q bond
issue to cover the installation of pipes,
for adequate water supply in settled
districts that are now short of water,
is the belief of Harry E. Murray, gen.
eral manager of the department.
When new tracts are opened up
Murray favors the plan of compelling
the. promoters to install these pipes
for the residents who may purchase
lots on the tracts.
The question of who shall pay the
cost of water extension is rather
vexed one in the states, the idea of
having it paid on the frontage tax
basis being popular in many places.
Adequate supply" says Murray,
should be water enough fer domestic
purposes and for protection against
fire. Residents of the city have been
stuck great many times in the. past
by buying up lots with water supply,
on them. only to find later that the
supply was not suficieHt.
"Other residents would come and
settle down along the street, four or
five houses would go up. each tapping
this one main which consisted of a
three-quarter inch pipe, with the re-
suit that in short time no one could
get any water.
at Is not fair, says Murray. ''to
ask these people who haye bought the
property in good faith to pay for: the
installation OF new mains. Some of
them have done so, but not all are
able to bear the expense.
I'VE have put in quite a number of
mains this year out of the funds of
the department, replacing small mains
with larger ones. Our total for this
work is about $4,000 during the year,
and about $1,000 for sewer work Of
this sort"
Fight On In Spokane.
Spokane, Washington, one Of the
leading cities of the Northwest, is hav-
ing much discussion over the question
of water main extension. Prior to 1911
the city ran on the policy of penaliz-
ing the users of water on street for
the benefit of the owners of vacant
lots thereon.
To this system of having one man
pay for line which passes several
vacant lots that may later derive bene-
fit from the pipe. the commissioners
at that time were so opposed that
they discarded it. Some of the pres
ent commissioners of that city, it
seems, are trying to establish the plan
again.
Mayor Fassett, who is vigorously op.
posing the plan to revert to the old
method, is quoted in the Spokesman
Review of November % as saying:
"The policy which has been in use
since 1911 places the burden of water
main extensions where it belongs,
namely upon the property immediate
III benefited. The vacant lot pays its
share. which It never did before.
The adoption of this policy has
enabled the city to effect a substan-
tial reduction in water rates to 95 per
cent Of our residents who have install.
ed meters, and this without serious
reduction in revenues"
