MEXICAN SOLDIERS
 CAN'T GROSS BORDER
CarranZa Refuses Permission to Move Through U. s. Territory
DECISION MAY BE ALTERED
senators From Border States Have Protested Granting of PIivilcgc- Governor Hobby is Not Worried If 
 Guarantees of Protection Are Given

Washington, May 29.-President Carranza has been notified by the American government that permission for the passage of Mexican troops through American territory will be withheld for the present. Mexico had asked to be permitted to move 2,00O men from Agua Prieto to Juarez for operation against Francisco Villas forces.
 Couldn't Protect Americans.
 Tt was said today officially that the decision Of the government was based on belief that the force which it was proposed to move through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas would not be able to furnish protection to American citizens in Northern Mexico because the revolutionists had cut the road between Chihuahua and Juarez.
 It was made cl2ar at the state de- partment however, that if President Carranza could show that there was greater necessity for the presence of the force of two thousand men south of the border at Juarez than at Agua Prieta in the territory where the Yaqui Indians are becoming trouble some, the position of the United States government might be altered.
 IexanS NOtSsA 0sTied.' .''H-
 Governor Hobby of Texas has noti- fled the state department that he will offer no objection to the passage of the troops through Texas provided guarantees for protection of Ameri cans in Northern Mexico can be ob- tained. Protests however, are under stood to have reached the state de- partment from a number of sources including senators from the border states.
 Moses Opposes Permit.
 Senator Moses, republican, of New Hampshire introduced a resolution today designed to prohibit transfer Of Carranza troops across United States territory without authorization by congress.
 The resolution recites that if the troops were permitted to cross Amer ican soil such permit would be con- strued (by Villa forces) as justifying reprisals against the lives and prop erty of Americans in Mexico. The measure was referred to the foreign relations committee.

 SUNDAY IN BALANCE
Orange Judge Will Give Decision in Sayin Rock COncessiOnistS' Case
 Tomorrow.

New Haven, May 29.-A question raised in relation to the arrest of 65 cOncessionaries at Savin Rock in West Haven last Sunday bears upon the scope of the recently enacted law which places the issuance of permits with the superintendent of the state police instead of with the local au- thorities.
 A test case was taken up in the West Haven court before Deputy Judge Charles J. Martin today instead of next Monday which was the date to which cases were continued In this case no defense was offered, it being admitted that the defendant had his place of business open under a SUD- posed right to do business on Sunday under Superintendent Egan's permit. Counsel then argued that the defend- ant had a right to have his place open. The town prosecutor, however, claimed that this special law does not supersede the secular law which pro- hibits Sunday amusements and busi-
 ness except those definitely defined in ] the laws which have long been on the statute book. Judge Martin said he would give decision tomorrow. By bringing a. case into court today, it is expected decision. will determine what concessionaries shall do next Sunday if no injunction is asked for to prevent the town authorities from interfering with amUsements and busi- ness
