Americans Letter
From Mexico Gives
Uncle Sam Warning

Details of conditions in Mexico, as
seen by an American citizen who has
been for many years resident OF
Mexico City, came to Washington to-
day and was at once laid before mem
bers of the Foreign Relations Com
mittees, and by them brought to the
attention of Secretary of State Knox.
That a reign of terror may be ex-
pected throughout the country from
the moment American troops cross
the border. If they ever do; that Amer
leans and Europeans will be massa-
cred without discrimination: that
anti-foreign feeling is SO strong that
no kind of outrage will be beyond the
possibilities of the situation-thfs is
the portrayal given by a man who has
always been moderate and even con-
servative in his statements OF con-
ditions in Mexico.
On behalf of foreigners in the Mex
lean capital this man asks that the
State Department find means private

Another of the old Riggs House
who once had been great and had
fallen-passed away Friday night when
Col" Jacob Keyser, seventy-fve years
old. Of Lexington, KY, one-time DO
litical lobbyist, died friendIess at the
Washington Asylum Hospital The body
OF Col" Keyser was sent to Lexington
last night for burial
When Col" Keyser arrived in Wash
ington decade ago he was reputed to
be among the wealthiest men in the
Capital Estimates of his fortune
ranged from 100000 to S25O,0OO. He
had come from the blue grass country
bearing the credentials of the greatest
families of the State.
His work in this city was chiefly know
ing and holding the friendship of Con-
gressmen. He was lobbyist for a group
OF the richest railroads in his native
State, and rumor had it that his re-
sources-when needed-were almost ex-
haustless.
Every Man His Friend.
Certainly he nvedsas II he were King
Midas reincarnated. Every man who
might be called a man was his friend.
The unfortunate OF the city and that
great nondescript group called hang
ers-on' blessed him as a benefactor.
SO far as is known no man ever re-
ceived aught but good at his hands
Only the old-timers will recall the
chivalrOus, white-haired old man-for he
was old then-whose generosity was a
by-word and whose courtliness of speech
was always the same.
Four years ago the fortune was spent
the position was lost, and Col" Keyser
was left destitute. Too proud to return
to his native town. he Joined that little
ed the old Riggs House, the Saragossa
Sea OF broken hopes.
Through his wide acquaintanceship with
men of affairs, Col" Keyser eked out
his existence during the last four years
of his life. His health was good until
one year ago, when he fell from a street
car and received injuries from which he
never recovered.
Needed Dinner, Too.
They tell one story of the colonel that
illustrate better than any other the sort
of man he was. One cold winter night
about two years ago a boisterous friend
invited Col" Keyser to dinner. There
was no question about the fact that the
colonel needed dinner, for at that time
times were unusually hard.
When they were seated in a fashionable
restaurant the friend turned to a waiter
and bawled out:
George. bring us some food, and bring
II - quick"
Col. Keyser arose from his place, bow
ed, and started toward the door.
Where are you going?" demanded the
astonished friend.
Il thank you for your invitation" said
the colonel, but I don't want to. intrude
on the dinner Of a gentleman who finds
It necessary to use profanity when ad-
dressing a waiter"

Contending that they had no criminal
intent, but merely intended to start a
picture show Of their own, Gardner and
Carroll Grenfen and Weston BelIinger,
the boys who were arrested Friday night
for stealing 1900 tickets from the Mary
land Theater, SIC Ninth street northwest
were released by Judge De Lacy yes
terday when they were arraigned in the
Juvenile Court charged with larceny.
Weston said that in his wanderings
along Ninth street he came to the open
cellar door Of the theater. Peering into
the cellar, he caught sight of a large
package Of theater tickets Thinking
they had been discarded. he took them
home and distributed them among his
friends. Many Of the tickets had been
punched.
The other two boys had no part in
taking the tickets, but were associated
with Weston in his project of opening
a small make believe" show for them
selves.

as a playwright, dramatic reader. lee
turer, authority on pageantry, and ad-
Vocate of rhythmic physical training

a great part of her time during the
past three years in Washington lectur-
ing and preparing for the establishment
of a school of rhythmic training. died
suddenly at her Iowa home yesterday
afternoon.

Barber gave a number Of lectures on
her theory OF rhythmic training before
Washington society. In conjunction
with her sister, Mrs Mary r. Gale
Davis. of the Burlington apartment,
Mrs. Barber was to have opened an in
stitution known as the Gale Barber

Presented Huge Production.

had almost completed a book on rhythm
setting forth her ideas on the subject to
which she had given her whole life's
labors. Mrs Barber believed that all
art was held together by rhythm. The
scope of rhythm, she contended. was
universal-all things were bound by its
laws. Her death was indirectly due to
overwork caused by the strenuous life
she had been leading in carrying on her
life work.
