 Judge Fisher said that the case in which the city of Manchester, Eng land. sued in 1891 was of no value in this case because, while te English court held that a municipal corpora tion may sue for libel, the reasons for that finding were not stated and the decision of a foreign tribunal is not a precedent. He held further that English municipalities are more in the nature of private corporations and that therefore the question, whether governmental bodies can sue for libel could not have been consid- cred in the Manchester case.
 The court held that libel was ap- plicable only to private persons or corporations and he concluded that the city might not sue for libel, ''un- less, by some legal action, the plain tiff is to be regarded, for the pur- uoses of this suit, as a private per son, in which event the publications are defamatory and libed would lie

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 15-A des- perate situation which already has cost two lives from violence Is re- ported today at Puebla, where rem onstrations against the state govern ment's allegedly excessive tax con- tinue. A majority of the stores have been closed, bread and milk supplies are said to be exhausted and food is scarce. Street cars are not running. according to reports, which add that incensed leaders are exhorting shout ing throngs to take aggressive action against the state government.
 If reports are true, conditions are said to be such that a proclamation of martial law may be expected be- fore night.
 Another appeal for relief was dis patched by Puebla business men to President Obregon yesterday, but the president is not known to have di- rected any measures looking to that end. Federal officials here, includ- ing President Obregon, apparently regard the protest against the Puebla tax law, with it's accompanying in dustrial paralysis, as more drastic than the facts warrant. Under Sec retary of the Interior Lugo, who is acting secretary in the absence of Secretary Gales. today declared the people of Puebla were making mountains out of mole hills'
 On the other hand. travellers from Puebla assert the situation is almost l anarchical and that the police ire | quently are called to use clubs and pistols. Other towns in Puebla state ! are becoming infected with the spirit l of revolt, they declared, and numer- | ouS raids on markets and grocery stores are recorded.
 l President Obregon in a conference | with American correspondents today made four important declarations substantially as follows:
 That Mexico will have no officia representative at the Washington | conference.
 That the question of the recogni- tion of Mexico by the United State: | remains in status quo"
 | That the Mexican federal govern ment will support the Puebla stat' authorities, even with troops if nee. essary, to maintain order which ha
 been threatened as a result of pro tests against tax laws there.
 That negotiations relative to tn payment of Mexico's foreign debt ar, in preliminary stage.
