IN MANDAMUS CASE

Permit Ruling.

The District Commissioners have given
notice of appeal from the decision OF
Justice Gould ordering the issuance OF
building permits to Charles J. Walker
for dwellings in p street. near Rock
Creek. The appeal will be heard in
the Appellate Court In October.
Walker brought a mandamus action
against the Commissioners and Build
ing Inspector Hacker to compel the is
suance OF the permits. alleging the Dis
trict officials refused ION the subter-
fuge" that the plans called for less
frontage than fourteen feet and that
the property eventually would be con-
demned as a parkway connecting Po-
tomac and Rock Creek Parks.
The Districts answer. seeking a dis
missal Of the mandamus action. alleged
the houses planned would violate the
building regulations and that the plain
tin was seeking merely to enhance the
value of the property to gain larger
price by condemnation.
Justice Gould upheld the demurrer OF
Walker to the answer and ordered the

"How precipitate was the flight Of the
German fleet is shown by the fact that
only three men were wounded In the
whole OF Admiral Jellicoe's fleet. Not
one of his ships was able to get In the
gunfire more than six minutes. The
only one OF his ships to suffer was the
battleship Marlborough, which was tor

thing from the Germans but great effi-

they wanted to preserve their Meet II
was necessary to avoid deliberately

But after that to proclaim a great

publish a speech like that of the Kais-

Officials In Washington Seriously
Concerned Over Reports Of
Hostile Demonstrations.
CARRANzlSTAS FAIL TO ACT
On Contrary, Authorities Are
Said to Be Encouraging Agi-
tators in Activities.

All northern Mexico is ablaze with
anti-American demonstrations. Officials
in Washington are seriously concerned
over reports which show that for the
most part Carranza authorities are
making no effort to check the agitation.
On the contrary, several of the reports
indicate that these authorities are actu-
ally encouraging the agitators.
For the first time in weeks officials
here admit the possibility that an at
tack in force may be attempted on
Pershing's forces, II rs anticipated
greatest proportions about the time the
Democratic national convention as
senibles at st. Louis next week. and
~ OF American civilians still in Moxico.
Consulates Attacked.
Within the last twenty-four hours re-
ports have been received of attacks on
the American consulates at Chihuahua
City and Durango. At Chihuahua City
the consulate was stoned and placards
torn of the doorway. Unofficial ad-
vices concerning the demonstration at
burned to the ground. and the American
hag which was flying over the doorway
had been seized by the mob and
dragged through the mud Of the streets.
lHc principal inStiBdtor VI my ueih-
onstrations Is said to be Mexican
leader by the name of de la Rosa. who
was last reported heading In the direc-
ton of Zapata. Tex, with band of 900
to 1000 followers. and boasting that he
would put the torch to every American
town along the border. Prior to this
the band had been pillaging American
properties wherever found In northern
Mexico. Secretary Lansing admitted
today that representations had been
made to Carranza concerning the ac-
ers. Nothing has been accomplished by
these efforts. On the contrary, State
Department reports show. de la Rosa is
apparently in league with Nafarette and
other Carranza commanders who are
said to be lending him encouragement
and supplying him with arms.
Increasing Strength.
Anticipating further trouble. Generals
Funston and Pershine have been laying
plans to increase the strength o. the
expedition In Mexico and strengthen
the border forces. II Is believed that
tentative plans. have been made to call
out additional national guard organiza'
tons.
Secretary Lansing was unable to say
this mor,ing when the reply TO the Car
rama note will be sent In Admins.
tration circles the statement Is still
made that the reply will refuse Car.
drawal of the American forces. IT II
understood that the reply will lay stres:
on the activities OF de la Rosa TO sup
port the American claim that Car
rama has not yet proven his ability L
control the situation.
