tBy the Associated Press. J

Mexico City, Sept. 21.-Ignoring the
usual channels of diplomatic inter-
course the American ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson, has made per-
emptory demand on Governor Mathis
Guerra, of the state Of TamaulipaS,
for the liberation from the Jail at
Tampico Of w. G. Nichols, an Ameri-
can and fruit grower.
Confined in Jail Six Months.
Nichols was arrested SIX months
ago on charge Of having killed a
bandit, named Caballos, whose ap
prehension the authorities had at
tempted for many months
The embassy was authorized by the
administration at Washington to en-
plOy whatever means were consider
ed necessary to bring about an anne
loration Of Nichols condition.
Will Use Troops if Necessary.
Ambassador Wilson says he will Sc
cure the release even if it be neceS-
sary to land marines from the Cruiser
Des MOineS, now at TampiCO with ESQ
marines aboard.
The American ambassador regards
the treatment Of Nichols by the Mex
lean authorities as persecution.
Case of Persecution.
In support of this belief he points
to the fact that Mexican confessed
III court to being the slayer of Cabal-
los This confession was diSregardeC
by the court, which said 1t was
prompted by the belief that a reward
had been offered for Caballos, deac
or alive.
The Mexican was not arrested an(
the process against Nichols was con
tnued on an appeal.
Filthy Quarters: Diplomacy Fails.
The Jail in which Nichols is con
fined is filthy and OVercrOwded. Am
bassador Wilson has been treating
the matter for several months dlplO
matically but has met with delays an
accomplished little.
In his note to the governor tn

message was not official but that
was to be considered none the les

usage of civilized countries pendln
