Mayf>r Woodward Saturday made public a veto on the resolution of the City Council providing for* a special committee to inspect the new fire alarm system, with a view to agrev - ing upon a purchase price whici contains an ultimatum to the Okinite Company of New York, which built the system. I can see only three wavs for that company to attempt to secure anv standing whatever. One of these would be the mandamusing of me t*» make me sign checks in payment of that contract. Under the Supreme Court's decision I see no chance of success for them along that line. An other way open to them is to bring individual suit against different me i- bers of the General Council that wurt on record as voting for that contract in 1912. The law is very clear on that line. The next and surest way of ending this matter would be to r°- fer the matter to the people to be voted upon as a bonded indebtedness. Under the last-named mode of pro cedure, I would very heartily ap prove. “If the people feel disposed to vote that this matter be paid full amount, it will meet with my hearty acqui escence. Until one of these three courses has been determined satis factorily, or the price of *hat plant materially reduced. I shall pay nO fur ther attention to this matter. I shall refuse to sign any checks in payment until some satisfactory legal course has been arrived at. “I am absolutely opposed to the {fiant as It exists, on account of its excessive expense to the city in ma nipulating the alarm system, and also I regard that the price is excessive by the reason of all parties being aware when the contract was entered into that it was illegal and was of long payments on the installment plan, and naturally, from a business standpoint, would carry an Inflated price. Besides the excessive price of this plant, it is well known that it only covers the old city limits, and no where enters into the newly acquired territory.” DOLLS? KEELY CO.

Don Luis Terranzas, richest man in all Mexico, reached El Paso to-nlgfit and retired immediately to a sumptuous .suite of rooms in tlie city’s best hotel Though over 80 years old. the gray don. who whs a general in the light against Maximilian in the sixties, dismissed queries regarding his trip with u shrug of the shoulders and a wave of the hand, as if the mere rid ing tor days on muleback over desert and mountain were nothing. lie declined to discuss the Impris onment of his son.

How ever. members of his party were in secret conference to-night at their hotel with representatives of Villa, who is demanding $250,000 for the re lease of young Terrazas. The general was said by one mem ber of the party not to be so much disturbed over paying the ransom as over the problem of getting the wom en members of the family to the bor der. They were left behind in charge of young Terrazas when the general left for the border with ‘the Federal j soldiers. Villa Insists they shall re main in the State Capital, even though he releases Luis Terrazas. Agents of the general to-night are negotiating to ascertain what sum Villa is willing to accept for their re lease. The revolution already has cost I General Terrazas $10,000,000, yet he ^till is considered the richest man in Mexico. Since the Villa rebellion six months ago General Terrazas has been a prisoner in the city of Chi huahua. protected by the Huerta troops, but unable to leave the city for fear of capture by the rebels When the Fei'^ral garrison retreated from the fsaate Capital two weeks ngo General Terrazas accompanied them, and is said to have brought 6,000,000 pesos in cash.

From there they were taken to hoarding houses of the » Ity. where they will he cared for until they are provided with transportation to/Spain or until such time as tlypy can get some compensation for the property thev left behind. When Villa entered the city and the lives of Spanish residents were threatened they appealed to the Eng lish Consul for protection. Upon . finding that the British charge could not afford tin rn the proper protection they appealed to Marion Letcher, the | American Consul. He wrote i cipher message to Washington appealing for protection for all foreigners. When he took It to the telegraph office Villa is said to have informed him that unless the message was written in Spanish it could not be sent. The rebel com mander is alleged to have torn the messages up and to have prevented any word from being sent from the city by Letcher.
