WILSON AFRAID OF MEXICO SAY BORDER PEOPLE Letter to Millersburg Attorney Describes Result as "Watch ful Waiting" TROOPS CAN'T PROTECT i Government Treats American Investors Relow Rio Grande as Liars and Rogues While news dispatches dally tell of I the painstaking pursuit of Pancho Villa by Uncle Sam's troopers, some | curious but interesting stories of what i is really going on beyond the mys- j terious Sierra Madre filter back across | the border in personal letters and tele- : grams. Just such a letter was received the ! other day by Attorney H. L. I .ark, Mil- ( iersburg, a well-known member of the ] Dauphin county bar and counsel and \ part shareholder in a big mining and ranching syndicate which has millions j tied up in the troublous country below I the Rio Grande. Here's an excerpt: Our troops will be out of Mexico \ by July 1 with nothing- accom plished but to convince Uio Mei- i leans that the Washington gov grnment is afraid of thcin—which s the truth. Can see no hope of in) kind of business In Mexico ' unless Roosevelt is nominated by ;he Republicans. I l>elieve it is to lie Roosevelt or Hughes, but I am afraid of Hughes, as he is or the Taft-Wilson class of men. Mexicans—Always And here's another: In Mexico there are no such things as "VUlistas" or "Garran zaistas" when dealing with Ameri can property; Uicy're all MEXI CANS. The letter was written by one of the officials of the big syndicate in report ing the attack by some of Ihe Villa bandits upon one Ignacio, a Mexican- Indian ranchero who had sole charge of a ranch far out in the enemy's country. The bandits robbed the ranchero of everything he had—even to his hat and shoes. "Everything had been done for the victim," wrote the ranch man ager, "that could be done." Mr. Carranza's Feelings "It is awfully hard," goes on the letter to Mr. Lark, "to explain the Mexican conditions to the eastern man who still believes something in the Washington government. Our troops in Mexico can't protect American prop erty, as It might hurt tile feelings of Carranza. This isn't a joke—but a i fact. Army orders are very plain on the subject. "The present conditions in Mexico will last as long as wc liave this class of government now existing in Wash- j ington. Aocoriling to Wilson, anyone | who ever invested a dollar in Mexico is i a liar or a rogue. "The new mining tax of Carranza means that not one minu in ten can operate; an increase of 100 to 5000 per cent, has been taxed upon mining claims. A 10 per cent, tax has been levied on gross output. Very few miners in Mexico ever made a 10 per cent, profit on gross output even for themselves. » The Answer "All these things have been laid again and again before Lansing, Wil son and Bryan, but of course the answer always i 8 'We're sorry, but we can do nothing!' " The name of the writer Attorney Lark preferred to withhold. "If that ever got down there, the chances are that the writer would be made to suffer," said he. Mr. Lark has only recently returned from the country beyond the Rio Grande and he tells an Interesting story of the land of Vllla-Carranza- Huerta-Madero-Dlaz. He was In the hotel In El Paso, Texas In which Ben son, the English ranch owner, had his last confab with some friends prior to Ihc fatal trip over the border to confer with Villa about returning some stolen entile. The conferees were friends of Mr. Lark. Hie Last Journey "Friends told Mr. Benson," said Mr. Lark, "that he'd better not go over; that. If he did, he wouldn't come back. And he never did. Villa drew his gun, and following the usual custom of Mexicans, he emptied his revolver into the Englishman's body—aiming at his Stomach and filling him full of holes from waistline to throat!" Attorney Lark exhibited a silver dol lar of the kind that Villa made for circulation. Tho coin Is an alloy of pure silver and some gold and is easily vorth a dollar in American money. Villa on a Motor Tour? In the Millersburg attorney's opinion. Villa Is "not getable" by American troops. "Why. I really don't believe he's In Mexico at all," said Mr. Lark. "Villa lias unlimited means: the whole coun tryside thereabouts Is in sympathy with him: he's got splendid traveling conveniences; he owns some of the latest type automobiles. And when lip heard that troops were searching for him T think he just took a nice long automobile trip. In my opinion. Villa isn't In Mexico at all; he's in Lower California."
