 It is asserted that eighteen persons were executed without trial in Puebla. The chief of police of that city, Artu- TO CamarilIo. is under investigation. II is asserted that this official has ruled with high hand, assuming power of life and death over a certain element
 All of the men executed, it is said, were criminals. or persons whom the police believed to be criminals. But their summary fate has caused the circulation of other stories of Czar-like methods, which forced the present in. quiry.
 From Chihuahua comes a story that the governor. General Ignacio C. En- riquez. has used something similar to the lettre de Cahet to take into GUS tody Alfonso Gomez Luna. lawyer of some distinction. Jose Gomez Luna. brother of the lawyer asserts that 1t was secret arrest. due to the law ver's defense of Francisco Madrid. editor of La Tribunt, an obscure pub lication in Chihuahua. which found fault with the governor. As the Go- meg Luna family has influential con nections here great stir is being made.
 The charges that Governor Enriquez has acted despotically surprised the capital. He is looked upon as the most enlightened and progressive governor in Mexico. He is a graduate in en- gineering of the University of Illinois and has been a leader in reform move. ments, including prohibition. The i'm movements he has made in Chihuahua, the extension of the school system and the general good order he has maintained have caused many to look upon him as a model for other gov ernors.
 Not long ago it was proposed that Governor Enriquez lecture in the Unit ed States. in the belief that he would be a convincing example of the sound ness and strength of the new men now ruling Mexico.

Federal %dge Jeremiah Netterer so ruled yesterday in a 25-page decision in the United States court here. This opens the way for awards of several millions in damages to dependents of the 249 passengers lost in the wreck of the Sophia. Claims have already been filed totaling $2,5OOOOO and an other million in claims are expected to be filed.
 The court held that the collision was unnecessary because a proper lookout had not been maintained, and that the vessel was going at an excessive speed. Either one or both of these omissions or commissions was the proximate cause of the found Hang of the ship and the death of the passengers There is less excuse for a collision with a fixed object than with a moving vessel, and ordinary care on the part of the lookout and moderate speed would have prevent ed the catastrophe"
 The 250 claims on file are for $10- co each and are death claims and not for baggage losses.
