In one party, which went for tiger
cats, were Col. Roosevelt, Kermit, a
Brazilian chief of police, a Brazilian
colonel and several natives. They
pushed their way all day through
swamps filed with crocodiles and
snakes in pursuit of a tiger cat.
The BraZilians did the best they
could and with the negro boys, kept
up for several hours. But the pace set
by the colonel. even in their own jun
gle, was too much for them. When
they finally came out they were car
rying the Brazilians guns and shoes
The Brazilians had quit and were ly

cuperating. The tiger cat got away"
Fiala said the BraziIians regarded
Colonel Roosevelt highly. Each one

SITUATION IN
.TAMPICO GROWS
WORSEEACHOAY
Several Matters Of Grave
Importance Has Prompted
British Ambassador to
Propose Neutral Zone in
Oil Regions.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington. May 1.-GraVity of the
situation of Tampico growing out Of
the fast accumulation of oil from the
flowing wells in the interior, which
constitute a great menace to the town
itself, vast financial loss a result OF
the overlooking of the tanks and finally
the interference with neutral commerce
by the Constitutionalist as exhibited
in the firing upon the Ward line
steamer AntilIa at the port prompted
Sir Spring-Rice, the British ambassa
dor. to confer today with Assistant
Secretary Osborns at the state depart
ment in a further effort to create a
neutral zone in the oil field vicinity.
The state department already has
been considering q. proposition by the
British ambassador that a~neutraI zone
be created covering the oil fields, but
so far no decision has been reached.
1t is believed the Constitutionalists
are unwilling to enter into any agree
ment that will restrict the activity
after their field army in its efforts to
force the surrender of Tampico.
Notwithstanding this. il is felt that
by a combination between the ad
mirals representing the United States,
Great Britain and Germany at Tam
piCo, some sort Of an understanding
may be forced upon them, If neces
sary that will result in the protection
of the oil wells and tanks and of the
personnel of the operating corps, the
great majority OF whom are Americans.
The possibility that the Constitu-
tionalists might soon succeed in their
efforts to take Tampico is said to be
the underlying reason for reluctance of
the state department to adopt agrees
sive measures at this time, though 1T
is known that enormous financial liza
bilities are being incurred that some
one must meet in the end
Agents of the Constituencies in
Washington today sent messages to
their military leaders at Tampico to
do all in their power to protect the
oil properties there and assurances
that extra preCaution would be taken
to prevent damage TO the properties
were conveyed to Sir Cecil Spring

, This meeting OF British Christians here
by Indignantly protests against the ac-
| ton of the Supreme Being in having
created so many foreigners, and calls
| upon Him to rain down fire, birthstone
| and mighty rocks forthwith upon the
| heads of all those Philistines, so that
I they may be utterly eXterminated from
the face OF the earth, which rightly be-
| longs TO the British people,"
! Grass looked very indignant, but could
thing of nothing to say in answer to
owen, who continued:
"a little while ago you made the re-
mark that you never trouble yourself
about what you call politics and some
of the rest agreed with you that to do
! So is not worth while. Well. since you
! never worry yourself about these
things, It follows that you know moth
: ing about them; yet you do not hesitate
/ to express the most decided opinions
! concerning matters Of which you ad-
mittedly know nothing. Presently, when
there is an election. you will go and
/ vote in favor of policy of which you
! know nothing. ! say that. since you
never take the trouble TO find out which
side is right or wrong, you have no right
to express any opinion. You are not fit
to vote. You should not be allowed to
vote"
Grass was by this time very angry.
Il pays my rates and taxes" he
| shouted, IAN I've got as much right 10
express an opinion as you ave. I votes
I for who the bloody ell likes. / sha'n't
arst your leave nor nobody elses, wot

succeed, and If protection Is the evil
that some people say il is, shall be one
| of those who will suffer. say you have
no right To vote for policy which may
bring suffering upon other people, with
out taking the trouble to find out
whether you are helping to make things
better or Worse"
! owen Rad risen from his seat and was
walking up and down the room empha-
sizing his words with excited gestures.
III never said free trade brought hap
! piness or prosperity" said owen.
We'll, p'raps you didn't say exactly
them lords but that's wot it amounts
| to-"
81 never said anything of the kind.
| We've had free trade for the last fifty
| years and to-day most people are living
| in a condition Of more or less abject
| poverty and thousands are literally
/ starving. When we had prot,ctton
| things were worse still. Other countries

peoT- are glad to come here anG work
for starvation wages The only differ
ence between free trade and protection
is that under certain circumstances one
might be a little worse than tho other,
but as remedies for poverty neither of
them is of any real Use whatever for
the simple reason that they do not deal
with the real causes of poverty"
'The greatest cause OF poverty Is

Harlow was q member OF tho local

Harlow's remark reused Grass.
"Wot's the use OF talkin' like that7'
he said. you know very well that
the country is being ruined by foreigners,
Just go to shop to buy something:

it's about time It was stopped"
Ear. earl" said Linden. who always
agreed with Grass. because the latter.
being in charge Of the job, had II in his
power to put in good-or bad-word
\ for a man to the boss. "'Ear, ear.
Now that's wot ] call common sense"
Several other men, for the same rea =
son as Linden. echoed Crass's senti-
ments, but owen laughed contemptu-
ously.
| Yes. it's quite true that We gets a lot
OF stun from foreign countries" said
Harlow. but they buys more from us
than we do from them"
Now you think you know a ell OF a
lot" said Grass; "'ow much more did
they buy from us last year than We
did from them?"
| Harlow looked foolish. As a matter
of fact his knowledge OF the subject
was not much wider than Crass's He
mumbled something about having no
ed for figures and offered TO bring full
particulars next day.
You're wot ] call bloody windbag."
continued Grass. you've got a ell of
a lot to say, but wen 1t comes to the
point you don't know nothin."
"Why, even ERE in Mugsborough,
chimed In Sawkins, who though still
lying on the dresser had been awakened
by the shouting. "we're overrun with

Yes" said old Joe Philpot traEically,
"and then there's all them Hitalian

Trenches sellin' hunions, an little
VILE afterwards ! met two more OF 'em

Notwithstanding the dsduieting ma
ture OF this intelligence owen again
| laughed much to the INDICATION of the
others who thought 1t was "A very Sc
r!ous state of affairs and said It was o
damn shame that these people We're al
| lowed to take the bread out of English
peoples mouths-they ought to be driven
into the bloody sea.
And 50 the talk continued, principally
carried on by Grass and those who agreed
with him. None of them really under
stood the subject-not one of them had
ever devoted fifteen consecutive minutes
TO the earnest investigation of 1t
When the storm had in some degree
subsidized owen said sneeringly:

For instance. IL a bloke backed a win

'Or sometimes there's a hoax tree or

other man. then they calls It Hoax
Lodge or Cherry Cottage"
well, there's a cave up at the end OF
this garden" said Harlow with a grin,
you know. the cesspool. what the
drains Of the 'ouse runs into; praps
they called 1t after that"
Talking about the drains" said ole
Jack Linden, when the laughter pro-
duced by this elegant Joke had ceased;
talking about the drains. 1 wonder
what they're going to do about them?"
There's going 10 be a new set OF
drains altogether" replied Grass, "car-
ried right out to the road and connecte
with the main"
Grass really knew no moro about
what was going to be done in this mat
ter than did Linden. but he felt certain
that this course would be adopted. He
never missed an opportunity OF enhanc.
Ing his own prestige with the men By
insinuating that he was IN the conf
dence OF the firm.
That's goin' to cost a good bit." said
Linden.
"Yes. suppose It will" replied Grass,

what the compiler OF the figures was
driving at-probably the latter never

Ing feeling OF indignation and hatred
against foreigners OF every description,
who were running this country, and he
began to think that It was about time
We did something to protect ourselves.
Still 1t was a very difficult question; to
tell the truth he himself could not make
head or tail OF 1t. At length he said
I aloud, addressing himself to Grass:
"Wot do you think OF this ere fissical
| policy, Bob?"
Amt thought much about it," replied
Grass. 81 don't never worry my ed

old Jack Linden sagely, 'argyfyn'
about politics generally ends up with a
bloody row an does no good to nobody"
At this there was a murmur of ap-
prevail from several OF the others. Most
OF them were averse to arguing or
disput!ng about politics.
T, Easton began to regret that he had
preached so Objectionable a subject
when. looking up from his paper, owen
| said:
Does the fact that you never trouble
your heads about politics prevent you
, from voting at election tlmes?"
No one answered, and there ensued a
brief silence. Easton. however. in spite
OF the snub he had received could not
refrain from talking.
| well, don't go in for politics much
either, but If what's In this ERE paper
