CHIHUAHUA REFUGEES SWARMING TO BORDER Only the Civilians W ill Be Permitted to Cross the Line. Presidio, Texas, Der. <>.— As far as the eye could reach there stretched out to- diiy over the desert soutli of Ojinagn, Mexico, opposite Presidio, thc straggling end of the Mexican federal army nnd tho civilians who fled from Chihuahua to safety on the I nited States border A few who reached the American side said tlio exodus included more than four thousand persons. The federal troops including the m o s t im p o rtant federal generals in thc N o rth, continued fortifying the village. Tliis, taken w ith the fact tlm t General S a la zar prom p tly communicated with Mexico City indicated that the federals intended to make a defense ou the border, a t least until they could receive ordors from the Huerta government. Food supplies, of which the federals were in great need, will be sent across the river but tho United States troopn will guard against any infraction of the neutrality laws. The civilians who endured thc hard ships o f the eight day march mostly 011 foot rather than face the invasion of Chihuahua City by the rebels arc to be allowed to cross. They Hill be taken 50 miles by automobile and wagons to M a rfa, thence to K1 Paso and other cities. The refugees said they left C h i huahua on three trains hoping to cover thc distance to Falom ir, the end of thc uncompleted railroad about a third of thc w a v across the desert but th a t a short distance out of the city tho first train wns wrecked. A ll then had to renew thc journey on foot, thc federals first dynam iting thc engines and b u r n ing up more than 100 cars to prevent their falling into the hands of the rebels.

The m o tion to dismiss the rase was made b y Henry Spaan for thc defendant yesterday when thc state eon- eluded its evidence.

CARRANZA WRITES HUNT DEFENDING EXECUTIONS Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 9.— A letter from General Yenustiano Carranza defending thc execution b y General Francisco Villa of Federal officers enptured a t Juarez, and te lling why'bloody reprisals were visited by thc revolutionists upon Hucrtista prisoners of war, was given out today by Governor George W , P. H u n t of Arizona. Carranza's letter, dated at Ilcrmosillo, Sonora, Mexico, N o v 27, wns in reply to a communication which Governor H u n t sent lo thc rebel chieftain suggesting that a co n tinuation of summary execu tions by insurgent commanders would horrify tho people o f the United States and alienate their smypathy. Governor Ilu n t wrote as a private ctiizen, not as governor of Arizona. General Carranza contends th a t public peace and safety demanded that V illa employ harsh means in his treatment of the Federal prisoners. W a s h ington, Dcc. 0 —Attorney Gen eral MoRcynolds in his first report as head o f tho Law Department of the government subm itted to Congress to day, makes few recoaumen<iation3 for legislation. Thc changes he urges have more to do w ith tno machinery of courts than w ith the iVoric of thc law On au anti-trust legislative program tho attorney general was silent. H o nsiked Congress for no amendment to the Sherman act, the rod his depart m e nt uses to bring trusts to tennis, and ho points out no fau lt in its operation. President 'Wilson, however, intends to send a special message on tlic tru s t question to Congress in thc near future, nnd th a t undoubtedly will emobdy some of thc attorney general's viotvs. A ttorney General MeHeynolds made it clear, however, th a t so long as ho was head of the department lie would oppose court dccrccw iu anti-trust suits where tho corwbLnation wns dissolved into parts under control of the samo stock holders. T h a t plan, adopted in tho Standard Oil and Tobacco cn-ses, he calls a ‘•fundam ental defect’’ and later adds in I'he same connection “my fixed purpose is to oppose any plan of d is solution whieh would leaic Uic so]«ira.te parts of the unlaw ful combination u n der tho control of the same sot of m e n .” Tho attorney general ofier 3 a novel solution of thc problem of superan nuated federal judges. Suoh judges u n der the C o n s titution hold oflico during ■good behavior although they may retire a t thc age of seventy after ten years’ service. “ f suggest,” fays the attorney g e n eral, “an act providing that wllicn any judge below the Supreme Court fails to avail himself of tho privilege of re t ir ing now granted by law. that the pres ident bo required, witli the advice and consent of the Senate, lo appoint nn- otilicr judge, who shall preside over thc atlnirs of tlio court and have prcccdcncc over the older onc.

Investigations of complaints that tho law h.-w been viola,ted pour into the departm ent by tho score cach month, and come from ■all parts of tho country. “ In m a n y instances,\ tho report reads, “ tbe investigation has failed to disclose facts which would Justify the institution of formal proceedings b u t notice of the activity of the govern m e n t has impelled officers of large in dustrial corporations to curtail danger ous tendencies.

O u t o f the $475,000 allotted for tlic detection and prosecution of crime $175,000 has been set aside for that work and the a t t o r ney general concludes “thc departm e n t feels th a t very material progress lias been made, particularly during tJie past year, in suppressing the most vicious features of this traffic.” QUINLAN WAS WITHOUT PROOF Signed Charges Against Carlisle on Rubino’s Word NOT SURE ABOUT MEETINGS Hennessy Cross Examines M ember of Asphalt Firm at Osborne In q u i r y ' and Again Dwells Upon Con spiracy Phase of Case.
