Gil of administration of the Society OF

Certain newspapers in the United
States are publishing as news from Mex
leo purported interviews, as well as COM
munications, from their correspondents,
in which it is made to appear that the
situation in Mexico City borders on the
condition of anarchy: that the doors of
the houses are barricaded and the roofs
provided with machine guns. that the
Americans are doing guard duty; that
rioting and fighting are occurring in the
streets of the city; that the population is
crying Death to Americans
Reports Branded False.
such reports are entirely without
foundation and do not contain a scintilla
of truth, but are the offspring of the fer
tile imagination of persons DESTROYS of
disappearing the actual conditions ex-
listing in Mexico City for the purpose of
personal gain or notoriety at the expense
of truth and honesty and to the prejudice
of the Mexican people. as well as all
foreigners residing in or having interests
in the country.
1--WE, the council Of administration of
the American Colony in Mexico. by unan-
imous vote. do hereby unequivocally
brand as utterly false all such statements
as indicated above; that the authors
fabrications entirely devoid of the least
basis of fact or reason. that the authors
thereof well knew them to be such
when they gave them utterance; that no
riot or fighting has occurred in the City
of Mexico and that it's population, both
native and foreign, is going about its
usual avocations without hindrance or
inconvenience"

automobile, said Dr. Benjamin ReitI

with San Diego vigilantes, by whom
he was given coating of tar and

When refused to go, four of them
placed reVolvers against my body.
They were well-dressed and apparent
ly refined. One slapped his hand over
my mouth and the police cleared a
path to the waiting machine.
I'VE drove 80 miles into the desert,
followed by another automobile, crowd
ed by yigilantes. The torture began
at once. Fingers were thrust up my
nose and into my eyes, they stuck
pencils into my nostrils, tore out hair
by the roots, stuffed filth in my mouth
and applied epithets worse than l
ever heard in the vilest criminal dens
in the lowest countries on earth.
"At certain spot more men were
awaiting us around fire. The auto
mobile searchlights illuminated the
place. First my clothing was torn off,
Then they committed upon me vile
acts of fiendish, gross, barbaric indie

From Copenhagen comes informa-

est by all who are alert to electric
progress. Professor Hanover, presi-
dent Of the Polytechnic academy of

five times the capacity of the accumu-
lators now in existence without any
increase over them L. size and weight.
He uses porous lead alloy sheets, the
capacity Of which is increased by per-
forating them with millions of mi

accumulation, while 1t is likely to be
more expensive than thosesnow in use,
will be most valuable for aeroplanes

FIVE KILLED IN SHOOTING
Aged Mountaineer Will BE EIectrocut-
ed at ichmond-Convicted Specif-
icalIy for Staying Commonwealth
Attorney Foster.

Wytheville, Va, May 20.-The first
of the Hillsville mountaineers to be
tried for the Carol county courthouse
murders, Floyd Allen, was adjudged
guilty here, Friday, and will pay the
penalty of his crime in the electric
chair at Richmond.
He was convicted specifically for
the murder of Commonwealth Attor-
ney Foster, one of the five persons
who were killed. The other victims
were Presiding Judge Thornton l..
Massie, Sheriff L. F. Webb, Miss Eliza
beth Ayres and Juror Augustus
Fowler.
Floyd Allen was placed on trial on
April 80 for the tragic courthouse
fight in which Judge Massie, Prosecu-
tor Foster and Sheriff Webb were
killed. Two other persons died sub
sequently of their wounds.
The court room was crowded with
spectators at the opening of court and
in anticipation of verdict extra pre-
cautions had been taken by the court
attendants to prevent any outbreak.
Allen, the prisoner at bar, watched
with sort of grim curiosity the mem
bers of the jury, as they filed into
their seats.
Gentlemen, have you arrived at a
verdict?" asked the Judge. eve have"
solemnly answered the foreman, aris-
ing in his seat.
Allen leaned forward to hear every
word. AS the foreman read the pro-
nouncement of the jury Allen leaned
forward still further in his chair and
a wave of white passed quickly over
the tan of his rugged and weather
beaten features
The verdict made the states law
yers confident that they would also
secure convictions in the trial of Vic
tor and Claude Swanson Allen, Sc
1ected as the next to be tried. Both
are sons of Floyd Allen and were cap
tured in the mountains after they fed
from the Carroll county courthouse.
Sentence will not be pronounced on
Floyd Allen for the present. This ac-
ton was taken at the instance of the
prosecution who will use Floyd Allen
in the case of his sons, Claude and
Victor Allen.
