He for mally declares Villa, Zapata and oth er generals deposed from their com mands. ' This proclamation, which is virtu ally the same as the manifesto Gutier rez offered to issue two weeks ago, while he still was in the capital if General Obregon and others would join him in the movement to elimi nate Villa and Zapata, accuses both of the latter officers of murder, bri gandage and high-handed insubordi' nation.

Have to Make Safe Pro vision for Giving the City Solicitor Shaw The Maryland's Passengers Jumped Into Icy Waters and Were Rescued A snag has been struck in the bill tion of the Federal building here. The Westchester Company was the lowest bidder out of eight, asking $53,100, The work is to be completed within a year and three months. According to a report sent out from Washing ton, $700 is to be expended for furni ture. This, however, may not be cor rect, since it is not regarded as like ly that a building of its dimensions can be completely furnished on such miserly sum. Besides, $70,000 is available for the building, the ground having already been purchased at a cost of $25,000. It was not expected here that the contract would be awarded before February 1 at the earliest, but it seems that recently the government has been much more prompt in mat ters pertaining to public buildings than in former years. Fifteen months is not regarded as an unusual time al lowance, considering the thorough ness with which the supervising arch itect's office requires the work to be executed.. The new postoffice will be erected primarily for postoffice purposes Since there will be no courtroom many of the superfluous offices in structures which house Federal courts will be eliminated. RAIDING AIRSHIPS stated that Under the present law fines from the Municipal Court go to the city schools, while under the pro posed act they would revert to the general county fund. Of course, this will have to be remedied before the bill is forwarded to the Legislature, since the local opposition to the meas ure were it allowed to go up unchang ed would be too pronounced to allow of its passage. The solicitor also holds a View dif ferent from some of the other law yers interested in tho matter concern ing the power to be vested in the judge of the court should it be estab lished. To be a people's court and popular With the public, the judge should have jurisdiction over civil matters as well as criminal, he con tends. Learned attorneys have ad vanced the suggestion that this is not permissible under the constitution, al though in several places in this part of the State recorders do have the authority. There has never been a test of their authority because ap peal to the Superior Court is easy from the county court, an inferior in stitution. However, the county court judge, if it can be so arranged, should have jurisdiction in matters similar to claims and delivery and other civil causes in which the sum involved does not run to excessive figures, In order to facilitate justice.

Mr. Shaw's idea of the proposed ccourt is that it should be similar to the old English "dustyfoot court," primarily a "people's court," and in which a man Could "step in, get his affairs adjusted and go on about his business." The solicitor opposed, as did a majority of those interested in the proposition, the suggestion to have the county commissioners name the judge, because to have it popular with the public, the public must have a hand in its organization, know what the court is intended for and choose the man who is to preside over it, tlT, 1 t"T'r TT-T.'T-'CI T, TTWIT QUAWa "'TLIGHVrMPROVEMENT.
