Wins 100000 Verdict
For False Arrest Here
Toronto Mining Engineer, In
dicted as Keough, Receivers
Against Starr

Alexander P. Macauley, a mining
engineer of Toronto. Ont, recovered a
100000 verdict in the Supreme Court
yesterday in his suit against Theodore
B. Starr, Fifth Avenue jeweler, for
false arrest and Indictment The YER
diet is perhaps the largest that has
been rendered in this county in a suit
of that character. Macauley has two
similar suits pending against New Y ork
firms, each for 100000. based on the
same eround-that the defendants
caused his indictment in this city on
the mistaken Identification of the To-
ronto man for "Christmas" Keough,
alias Newman, a notorious swindler,
now serving term in the Joliet GIL
prison.
Macauley was arrested in 1917 in st.
Louis after the elusive Keough had
passed many worthless checks and
money orders on merchants in New
York and other cities. He was brought
here, and employees Of the defendant
firms. it was alleged, identified him
as the man they had waited on and
from whom they received the checks
Although there was said to be resem-
Dlance between Macauley and Keough
the mining engineer was able to bring
witnesses to prove his good character
and to prove that he was in ST. Louis
at the time Keough was operating in
New York. Macauley was honorably
acquitted by the court.
In his suit against Theodore B. Starr
Macauley said he was compelled to ex-
pend $50 900 in legal fees and in bring
ing witnesses here from other cities
to prove his innocence.

ent, British capital 10 flowing into Mex
leo to-day. Large Investments, despite
the unsettled condition Of affairs in
President Carranza's country, have been
made by British syndicates and COM
panies during the last few weeks.
Among other properties, several large
mines in the rich state Of Jalisco have
passed into British control, even
though rebel activities in tho vicinity
have precluded proper prospecting and
examination.
The present Mexican Irritation with
England just now is very noticeable in
Mexico City. even though Great Britain
has so far failed to recognize the Car
rama government as such. British
army officers who have been sojournins
in Mexico, though not in an official
capacity, have been recipients of off,
cial courtesies which only Latins know
how to bestow,

borne some fruit is evidenced by 4
loosening of the British purse strings
with regard to Mexican Investments.
The Eagle Oil Company, one of the
largest in the country and the only
British-cwned company in Mexico, is
rapidly extending it's business all over
Mexico, in defiance of the possibilities
of another revolution made possible in

Isthmus of Tehuantepec, on the Pan

Various witnesses testified to deaths
of relatives and abductions for ransom
in Mexico. Senator Fall called E. r

German Invasion Fails
The much vaunted German invasion
Of Mexico seems to have failed of
realization yet. Mexico City sustains
healthy German colony, though great
colonization schemes, spoken Of after
the nrmistiCe, appear not TO have e
veloped.
The two nationalities in Me- % to-
day most in disfavor appear to be
Americans and Chinese. 1t is apparent
that so far as the Mexican governments
desire extends the American should
have no moro than "Chinaman's
chance"
In addition to American killings,
which, incidentally, are usually blamed
on the killed by the Mexican govern.
