Poem Instead of Law From Colorado Representative Taylor
Colorado's Edward T. Taylor famed for irrigation and public lands offers poems to clients rather than formal legal advice. He once drafted a four line verse for ranchman Greenough who traveled 23 miles to request an injunction over a thousand neighbor hens. The poem urged patience and finding a place for the hens to lay.

Senor Manuel de Zamacona Arrives on Huerta Mission
Senor Manuel de Zamacona, once Mexican minister at Washington, arrived in the United States on a mission from President Huerta. He was said to act as Huerta's personal representative without official status, seeking to reopen negotiations after Wilson's note. He aimed to press cabinet members for a loan to stabilize Huerta's government and to raise at least six million dollars in gold to cover railway bond interest due October 1, but Wilson's officials refused to negotiate, rendering the mission a failure.
