A MEXICAN FAMILY
n SLAIN IN MEXICO

The news that his father, mother,
brother and sister had been butch
cred in Mexico started Frank j. Green
of Bridgeport, Mass. from this city
last night to New Orleans, en- route
to Mexico City, determined to get at
the facts in the case and to lay them
before the state department with a de-
mand for vengeance on the murderers
of his entire family
Mr.. Green received a telegram, dated
Los Angeles. from ]. B. Cummings OF
Mexico City, informing him Of the fate
of those he loved. He at once went to
Los Angeles, where Cummings con-
hrmed the news and gave him details.
Cummings told him he had visited the
y scene of the massacre and saw the
bodies Of Green's father, mother, broth
Ca er and sister, lying where they had
fallen. The house had been burned.
Cummings said the Mexican authorities
tried TO blame the crime on Yaqui In
dians, but II Is not believed that they
were the perpetrators, but that Mexi-
can soldiers wiped out the Green
family.
While Frank J. Green is on his way
to Mexico City, Attorney Cummings
intends, according TO statement made
yesterday afternoon by Green, to pro-
ceed at once to Washington and lay
the matter before Secretary Bryan.
The place where the Green family
was wiped out is Pueblo Blanco. about
lis miles south of La Junta. The muir
ders occurred July 80. Frank j. Green
was In the employ of the General Eiec-
trio company of Pittsield, Mass., and
was travelling, so that the news OF the
tragedy did not reach him until a con-
siderable time after the telegram had
been sent. He at once severed his
viii hG
out to find Cummings
Green's father was formerly a resi-
dent of Pasadena, but took his family
to Mexico and became a successful
prospector. He left considerable valu-
able mining property.
II think ii is time" said Frank j.
Green last night, that the United
States took measures to put a stop to
the killing of Americans in Mexico, and
I am going to do all I can to awaken
the government to the seriousness OF
the situation"

the Mexican situation so acute that he
should be in his seat in the senate in
Washington, United States Senator John
d. Works left Los Angeles for the ma

Wilson's policy toward Mexico, declar-
ing that Intervention should be the last
resort of the United States.

With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

With a most pathetic sigh the dvs-

days when grand-dad carved the roast;
when the family made a cleanup: and
when good appetites with sound diges-

that have made our nation what it is.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptic's hope. They are a natural
restorative of healthy action TO the
stomach and small intestines, because
they supply the elements that the
weak stomach lacks-pepsin, golden
seal and other digestives.
If you are afflicted with any symp-
toms of stomach trouble. be assured
that your digestive organs are losing
power-they need help and there is
no more sensible help to be given them
than to supply elements which will do

The Argus has always opposed it. It
fought the Washes when they attempt
ed it. and it knocked out a similar
clause in the Tri-City Railway re-
newaI ordinances when they were
adopted a few years ago, andiI am

at this time.
Il am not opposed to giving the

may bring to the city big returns in

Meeting link must not be lost sight Of .
In other words, let there be no hasty

Positive Views Are Expressed by Mer-
chant Relative to the Sit

The proposed purchase by the Tri-
City Railway OF a tract of land or.
Twenty-fourth street between Third
and Fifth avenues for car shed and
shop purposes, together with the de-
sire on the part of the company to
have the city close Fourth avenue
east of Twenty-fourth, has been a sub
ject OF discussion among business men
the past two days. Many opinions are
expressed as to the course the city
should take in the premises. 81 am
glad to observe the attitude of The
Argus" said leading merchant TODAY.
in insisting that a provision be made
strictly forbidding al any time the
use, either OF Twenty-fourth street
or the company's premises east of
Twenty-fourth street, such as NAV be
acquired as means of establishing
car service at that point be-
tween Fifth and Third ave
nues. The Argus position that
some stipulation be Incorporated in
volving the validity of the company's
entire franchise should it be violated,
is none too strong
SUGGESTIONS FOR RETURN.
For my part, further. if Fourth
avenue is vacated east of Twenty
fourth street, the company should paw
the city foot for foot for the ground
ceded at the same rate for which it
proposes to buy the land from those
who own it. The company should also
give Rock Island some other consid-
Grafton. 1t should erect curb lights
around all sides of Spencer square
and light them. 1t should make some
move in the way of an interurban.
even if it does not agree to build one
as it did for Davenport.
But these last mentioned sugges-
tons, important and desirable as they
are, are of small consideration com
pared with the safeguarding Of the city
against connecting link on Twenty
fourth street, or through the company s
ground, between Fifth and Third ave
nue.. Nothing so vital to Rock Islands
interests has come up in recent wears.
II may be treated idly now by some
people, but 10 the future il is of mo-
mentous Importance. rne subject. il
! strikes me, is vastly of more concern
to the business interests of Rock Island
than whether cars run on Second or
Third avenue. The matter of
car routing down town sinks
into insignificance beside it, for
1t involves the welfare of every ousI-
ness institution in the city. 1t may
mean eventually the sidetracking of
the business district of Rock Island
in favor of Davenport.
The Third and Fourth avenue lines
are not only involved, but there has
been some talk about diverting the
Elm street line down Fifth avenue bv
connecting it between Seventh and
Fifth avenues on Elm. Think of what a
combination that would be in the fu
ture, if portion of all the cars from
the east are switched over to Daven
port by way of Twenty-fourth street
