MEXlCANS DlSTRUST
AMERICAN INTENTIONS
Southern Republic Blames Irrespon-
sible Published Reports for Con-
dition Which Prevails Be-
tween Countries
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-While the
official relations between the United
States and Mexico were never more
cordial than now, and while there is
nothing i'm the material interests or de-
sires of either republic which conflicts
In the slightest degree with the others,
officials of the American state depart
ment have become suddenly aware of
the existence and rapidly growing OF
public sentiment in Mexico of dis
trust and suspicion of Americans and
American intentions respecting Mexi-
can territory.
This condition is more exasperating,
but none the less harmful and embar-
RAISING, from the fact that 1t Is en-
tirely groundless in fact, and the Of
ffcials declare has for its basis nothing
but irresponsible newspaper gossip and
criticism.
Such. for instance, as a lurid descrip-
tion of Magdalena bay, where the fleet
has just concluded target practice, with
a hint thrown in that the location and
natural surroundings are ideal for a
naval rendezvous and target practice,
and that the place ought to be bought
from Mexico.
Just such comments as these, printed
without the least official inspiration or
sanction, wholly misrepresenting actual
conditions, are believed by American
officials to be entirely responsible for
the distrust rapidly developing in
Mexico.
The serious effect of this accumula-
tion of adverse comment has been
brought home to the American admin
istration in perfectly frank statements
from the Mexican authorities
Added to the accumulation, and per-
haps TIE only thing which IS COM
planned of officially by Mexico is the
seeming security and asylum anorded
here by persons regarded in Mexico as
conspirators and revolutionary agtta-
tors.
The representation is made that such
persons come to the United States and
inaugurate propaganda against Mex
leo, print literature for circulation there
and undertake the preliminary steps
toward revolution.

LYNCHED FOR
FOUL GRIMES
ONES MURDERS 12-YEAR-OLD
WHITE BOY
Five Hundred Men Take Slayer from
Officers and Hang Him to Tree.
AssalIant of Woman Pays
Penalty
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WESSON, Miss :, April 5.-John Burr,
young negro, was lynched near here
today by about 500 men, for the MUIR
der of 12-year-old white boy.
Last night, according to Burr's con-
fession, and the story of an eye wit
ness, he was fishing in a mill pond,
of ]. w. Smith, planter approached
and began a conversation. Burr was
an employe of Smiths father, and he
said to boy:
Look up; look at the Bird
AS young Smith gazed skyward the
negro shot him In the back of the head
with a shotgun. Burr threw the boys
body into the mill pond and fed, but
was captured by officers and was on
his way to Jail, when, just as Sunday
dawned, a party of about 500 men took
the prisoner away from the officers.
The negro was quickly hanged from a
tree and several shots were fired to
hasten his death.
MOBILE, Ala, April 5.-Walter
Clayton, a negro who was serving time
at the stockade of the Hand Lumber
company for manslaughter, late Satur-
day afternoon criminally assaulted
Mrs Joseph White, aged 20, and was
1ynched by a mob of seventy-five men
outside the limits of Bay Minette last
night.
The assault occurred at the woman's
home, six miles below Loxley. Clayton
entered the house, it is said, and
choked Mrs. White into submission.
The negro returned to the convict
camp, where he was arrested last Sat-
urday night. The negro told the Of
ficers not to take him back to the scene
of his crime, as he committed it and
1t was not necessary to have him iden-
titled.
Two officers hurried him to Bay
