Mexican Capital Shaken by Rebel Advances
A Chihuahua dispatch says Jiminez was seized at noon by 300 rebel advance guards. Salazar's army occupies the town, a key center with 26,000 people. In Mexico City a power outage halted nearly all activity for over an hour after three insulators were broken on the Necaxa transmission line, likely to paralyze the capital. Taft signs a joint resolution stopping arms exports to countries with domestic violence and issues a proclamation empowering federal officers to enforce it. A Rome Georgia incident reports nine East Tennessee Power Co workers arrested for cutting timber and opening a right of way, later released after claiming mistaken assignment.
