EVENTS OF A DAY
IN MEXICAN SITUATION
John B issett Moore resigned as
counsellor of the State Department,
following friction with President
Wilson over the question of recog?
nizing the Huerta government.
Americans and other foreigners
in Mexico insisted that the attitude
of the United States, if continued,
meant financial ruin or death, Philip
H. Patchin reported.
The plan to send a commission to
Chihuahua to examine the body of
William S. Benton was abandoned.
General Carranza announced that
none but ? commission composed of
Constitutionalists would be permit?
ted to make such an examination.
The rebel warship Tampico and
the federal gunboats Morelos and
Guerrero fought a half-hour battle
fit Topolobampo.

this plan for a week, it Is \x llevad,
while lie is fitruring out some pollcj
for handling the late restauranta At
tin- end of the wer-u he will announce
hlH decision. It Is thOUghi that if he is
satisfied with conditions he may allow
the restaurants to remain open until
2 or 3 m. m.
Inspector DwyOT yesterday afternoon
sent -.round a notification that all dan?
cing was to stop at all the licensed re?
sorts and that the lights were to he oui
and the doom closed at 1 a. in.
At 12:50 o'clock practically every?
where the orchestras played "Home,
Swtet Hoiih." Then the lights hegan
to go out. By 1:00 o'clock not a light
could be seen anywhere.
The Tenderloin expressed surpris? at
Dwyer*S action in view of the fact that
Mayor Mitchel yesterday afternoon
had shown astonishment at the sudden
enforcement of the 1 o'clock closing
law and had said lie would soon
announce a more litt?ral policy.
M have n<> idee of carrying out the
stringent measures used 1n the latter
end of the last administration," said
the Mayor yesterday.
This announcement came In connec?
tion with a discussion of the drastic
action "f inspector Dwyer in closing
the restaurants and darning resorts in
the WhitS Light district at 1 o'clock
yesterday morning. There was much
speculation :.k to the cause of the nc
{ tion. Mayor Mltehel vas much aston?
Inhed when he heard of what had been
done.
when he was asked if he had given
the order he replied:
"No such order came from mv oflVe.
I asked Police Commissioner McKay
to look into the closing situation. Pre?
sumably some of tlio.se under him mis?
understood th"ir instruction.-"
,| Mitchel Has Plan.
Will Hie closing orders be followed
up to-niKht?"
"No, I'il have something definite to
"say about that within a day or two.
1 Arthur Woods has prepared a memo?
1 random on the matter. It will take
' i are of the entire matter."
Mayor Mit' bel would give no further
Idea of what his policy WOUld he, ex
; Cepl that it would not he CO string, tit
as that pursued by Mayor Qaynor,
Since he w> n? Into Office the. Mayor has
devoted what .-.?(ire time he had to a
? consideration "f the matter, but he ha?
1 ' been too has;, to undertake the esta.!)
lishment of a definite jHoliey. So far as j
'is known tin re have been few com
'I plaints as to th.- way the police have
| handled the situation thus far. It is!
I probable that those who In the pastj
! have criticised the prevailing policy on1
SUCh matters have wished to give the
Mayor s chance to decid?: on a definite I
: course.
| Much pressure ha- been brought to
, hear on the Mayor to increase the
' number of all night licenses, He has
j so far granted f< vv more- than existed
?under Mayor OaynOT. It is known,
I however, that the Mayor has been anx?
ious to establish ^.me policy that
would do away with the idea that Cer?
tain places were receiving considera?
tion that others could not get.
Arthur Woods, the Mayor's secretary, I
lias been giving careful consideration
to the problem for some time Prom
the statement of the Mayor yesterday
it is behe\e,i that the COttClUSlOflS

exposed in The Tribune in March, 1913,
was convicted yesterday of petty lar?
ceny before Justices Porker, Moss and
Fleming, in Bpecial Sess'uns, at St.
Island.
The charge arose out of his "Home
Coupons." On ti\e of them lie had ool
I |19S from Robert Shields, a
salesman, of Post avenue, West Brigh
t' ti, Btaten Island, on the understand?
ing that when Shields had paid 1100
he could ChOOSe a lot wherever he
Would, and the Manhattan Mutual
would build him a 9&6O0 <>r |4,000

up for seiiti-t!,-c on March 'Jo.
Linton's Agent Acquitted.
Linton's aient, j. Beney, who effected
t!.riginal sale of the five COUPOnS to
Shield*, eras acquitted.
A year ago Linton spent a night in
the Tombs when John Schneider, a
l ' burgh man, had him arrested on a
charge of misappropriating $104, but he
I on hail the next morning
ami finally discharged, Bchnelder fail?

to expect a harvest oi 14,220, District

Sixty Victims, all of them very poor
people, brought Linton before the grand
jur> and call.,! him "an artful artist
in rainbows." Linton was then indict -
i d, but he succeeded in escaping con
Va ?ion.
Shields left off paying after reading
i The Tribune. }{?? had bought his tlv.
share- in May, 1012, and was looking
anund for his Hite for the tine home he
expected w tien the exposure appeared.
He then demanded his money back, as
provided in s clause In his contract
Linton, he testified yesterday, put

pay UP or build his home as soon as

; posed of. Tir. fi of waiting any longer
for his refund, Shields complained
three weeks ago to District Attorney

the .lohn F, Linton Realty Company,
and Is a director of the Read Construc?
tion Company, Hs had elaborate of?
fices Si No. U41 Broadway.
Linton's fantastical scheme was of
the "snowball" variety. At the time of
his Indictment last year, it was said
that about six hundred of the ?'home"
contracts had been entered into.
fn^T the "endless chain" system
each of these contracts would bring in

and would have needed a capital of
about $1I,000,000,000 at bast to ere.-t
the houses he had undertaken to build.
