On March 3, 1915, General Huerta
left Spain ostensibly for Buenos
Aires. He disembarked at Algeciras,
Morocco, and early in April boarded
steamer for New York, declaring
he was coming to this country sim
ply on pleasure trip. After re-
naming in New York for some time
he started west with the announced
intention of visiting the San Fran
cisco Panama exposition. On June
q he was arrested by secret service
agents at Newman, n. NJ, on charge
of conspiring to incite a revolution
against friendly country. He was
released on bond but was rearrested
by secret service men at El PaSO on
July 3, when apparently planning to
cross the border.
Huerta remained in Jail until De.
cember 2S, when he was permitted
to be removed to his home in FL
Paso on account of the serious ma
ture of his illness.
During Huerta's stay in America
numerous stories were circulated
from various sources asserting that he
was being backed by German agents
in a plot to embroil this country with
Mexico. These stories were officially
denied by Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador. They were re-
vived again, however, by statements
by federal officials that Franz Won
Rintelen, German agent, had spent
large sums of money endeavoring to
cause disturbances on the Mexican
border

Experienced oil men who are in
close touch with the Healdton field
are of the opinion that the produc-
ton is about holding its own. The
new wells that are being brought
in are making just about as much
as the old wells are declining in pro.
duction. That probably means that
the field has reached its zenith of
production in the shallow sands.

WATER COMPANIES
ANSHUT OFF NOW
Public Service Commission Up
holds Right to Regulate
Service Bills

The Public Service Commission to-
day dismissed a complaint of John R.
Powell. of California. Washington
county, against the California Water
Company, and in a decision written by
Commissioner Michael J. Ryan refuses
to find that there is injustice in the
action of the company in turning OF
the water supply of delinquent after
a reasonable notice to pay or that a
water company has not the right to
change q meter, preserving the rec-
ord of the old meter.
The case attracted considerable at
tention because of the contention of
the complainant that because he had
remodeled a building and made two
dwellings out of 1t that separate mini
mum bills should not be rendered for
two homes. It appeared that Powell
turned building which formerly con-
tanned a dwelling and q stable into two
dwellings. When he got bills for two
distinct families he objected and after
a prolonged controversy entered COM
plaint. Mr., Ryan says: mo con-
sumer, whether he be tenant or owner,
is justified In setting himself UP to be
the judge in his own cause and refus-
ing payment" and he refuses to find as
matter of law that there was any
unjust action in shutting OF the water
when Powell did not pay the bill or
because two buildings separate from
each other but erected upon the same
piece of ground and occupied each by
separate family that the water COM
pany is not warranted in enforcing a
rule that no quarterly bill shall be less
than a prescribed minimum for each
family using water.
The Emporium Water Company,
which supplies the county seat of Cam
eron county with water, is ordered by
the commission in q decision issued
last night covering two complaints to
install water meters at its own ex-
pense when it requires such appliances
for measurement In the cases de-
cided the complainants objected to
paying for the meter, holding that it
was for the use of the company, and
that its rules and regulations re-
quired it..
THE installation of meters is OF
course, a great expense to the utility
and is to be borne by 1t in the same
manner as other expenses necessarily
incurred in the rendering of just and
reasonable service to the public, such
as the construction of service lines
from the mains to the property line
of the consumer" says the commission
in its decision. This expense is a
capital charge and will presumably be
taken care of by an equitable adjust
ment Of the rates which will allow the
company to recompense itself for its
original investment and the usual cost
of upkeep. A rule which requires the
consumer in tho first instance to pay
for such an addition to the property
of the company when the company
insists upon its installation is unjust
and unreasonable"
