Germans blame U S Consinter over Mexican issue
Officials here say the Mexican situation is a special case not comparable to U S relations with European belligerents. They cite a March 11 1912 law and the President's remarks to Congress as limiting authority and argue the United States enforces arms shipments impartially to all belligerents, a view echoed in Secretary Bryan’s letter to Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Refusal to restrain disposal of real estate in suit
Justice Siddons sustained a motion to dismiss the bill in the case of Harry Friedling versus Louis Freedman. Friedling sought to enjoin Freedman from disposing of District of Columbia real estate pending a suit for damages over alleged alienation of the plaintiff's wife. The court ruled no equitable right to interfere with the defendant’s property due to mere pendency of a legal action. An appeal was noted. Attorneys: Ridout and Tepper & Gusack for Friedling. Lambert, Whippler, and Yeatman for Freedman.
