KNOX GETS FACTS
ABOUT MEXICO
Congressman Bartholdt Re
fers a Letter to the
Secretary of State.

Washington. D. c., Aug. s.-Repre-
sentative Bartholdt, OF Pennsylvania,
has presented to secretary Knox a let
ter written by an American business
man in Mexico, detailing conditions as
they exist in that country and strongly
advocating American Intervention
The letter was sent to Mr.. Bartholdt
by a prominent steel manufacturer OF
Pfttsburg who had received 1t direct
from the writer. Conditions in Mexico
are represented by him to be very bad,
and in the writer's opinion they fully
Justify action by this government, al
though it is admitted Intervention will
entail great loss of life and money and
the assumption Of grave responsible
ties by the United States.
Secretary Knox received the letter
and promised to give it his eonsidera-
ton It is said to be unlikely that the
communication will give the secretary
any information which he does not
already possess.
The department of state has been
asked to investigate the alleged murder
of an Ohio man in Mexico and secretary
Knox has given Instructions to the
diplomatic and consular officers to
CLEAN ali the facts in the case. The vic
tim was Henry Crumly, whose home
was in Marietta Ohio, and who was
employed as well driller by the
Lydecker Tool company of Marietta
He was working at Celaya- about 40
miles from Mexico City, and it is re-
ported that on July IS he was murdered
there The state department has not
yet learned anything farther than a
confederation of his death
