MOHENO IS ANGRY At THE UNITED STATES
Shakes Fist at Stars and Stripes at
Vera Cruz-TaIks of Secret Plot
ting to Annex Mexico.

Vera Cruz, Mex-Querido M6heno,
former Mexican minister of commerce
and labor, en- route to the United
States TO show President Wilson's
crime against Mexico, the greatest in
the history of modern nations" as
the announced object Of his visit, de-
clared aboard the French liner Es
payne Friday at Vera Cruz that he
regarded the capture of the City of
Mexico by the constitutionalists in
evitabie.
Il left President Huerta's cabinet
because | was asked to-" MOheno de-
clared. "Huerta did not give me
reason. | am not running away be-
cause fear the rebels when they get
there, and their coming Is inevitable" y
Travelling aboard the same boat are
General joaquin Mas and Colonel
Mario Mas, relatives OF Huerta, and
their families. The only apparent
reason for the flight of the Mas
brothers was to escape from the cap
ital before it fell, the ineyitability Of
which they also admitted.
Senior Moheno was Virulent in his
criticism of the United States in its
policy toward Mexico, and looking
through port hole at the American
flag flying in Vera Cruz shook his
fist in rage.
He declared that he could produce
proof to show that there existed
secret platform" of the progressive
party in the United States, of which
he asserted Colonel Roosevelt was
cognizant, looking to the taking over
of Mexico by the United States,
Asked if he was going ashore while
in Vera Cruz Moheno replied:
Going ashore? No, not !. It is
not pleasant spectacle for any patri-
otto Mexican. However, am not
afraid to. don't fear the Americans,
nor do | fear my own people.

ASALLE COLONY SITE LOCATED
DR.. BOLTON FOUND EXACT SPOT
WHERE EXPLORER LANDED.
Says History of La Sale Is Wrong,
He Was Murdered on the Brazos
River Near NaVasota.

San Antonio, Tex.->-A historical dis
covery of international interest was
announced Wednesday at San Antonio
by Dr. Herbert E. Bolton of the Uni
versity of California and formerly Of
the University of Texas. Just return
ing from a research expedition, Dr.
Bolton said that he had exactly To-
Gated, beyond dispute, the site Of the
French colony that La Sale, the ia
nous French explorer, founded on the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico in 1886
A question of long dispute among his
torians will now be definitely settled,
he said.
The site of the French colony is on
Keeran ranch, on the west side of the
Garcitas river, and about five miles
above its mouth Parkman and other
historians describe the colony as hay-
ing been located on the Layaca river,
which flows into Matagorda bay.
1t was through long research that
DR.. Bolton made his discovery. He
unearthed maps and records of an I'M
known Spanish expedition to Mata-
gorda bay in 1890 At that time La
Sales French colony had already
been destroyed by Indians and dis
ease. The maps, said DR.. Bolton, rep
resent the Garcitas river, the Lavaca
river, the Colorado river and other
streams of the gulf region with start
ling accuracy.
Although the maps and descriptions
offered unc0mmoniy good evidence of
the existence Of the colony on the site
described, DR.. Bolton personally made
an archaeological and typographical
survey of the locality. AS result, he
said, he found remains of the French
colony on exactly the same spot to
which the old maps and descriptions
had directed him.
In making the surveys DR.. Bolton
was assisted by Claude Keeran of San
Antonio, owner of the ranch. They
are planning to erect monument on
the site of the old colony.
DR.. Bolton claims to have evidence
for exploding another geographical
theory concerning La Sales activities
in Texas. Other historians have held
that the murder of La Sale by his
subordinates, in 1857, while he was en-
route to Canada to get aid in main
tanning his colony, took place near
the Trinity or the Neches river. DR.,
Bolton said that he had undeniably
proved that the murder was commit
ted on the Brazos river, near the site
of the present city of NaVasota.
my discovery of the exact location
of La Sales colony" said DR.. Bolton,
solves about six geographical puz-
zies. This fact is further evidence Of
the correctness of the maps and rec.
ords that l have found"
DR.. Bolton has gained wide recogni-
ton for his researches in the archives
of Mexico and for his corrective study
of Southwestern history. He has 10
Gated several historical sites by
means similar to those employed in
locating the site of the French colony.
Recently he found the lost Bowie, or

The Size They Must Be to Show In
Our Different Telescopes.
The Able hiorerx, director OF the
astronomical observatory Of Bourgcs
France, answers in Cosmos the ques.
ton, "What is the smallest object risi.
BILE on the moonT'
First, it Is necessary to know what
Is the smallest angular magnitude that
the naked eye can perceive. Expert.
ment says the able. proves this to be
thirty seconds. In other words. an
object that subtends an arc Of thirty
seconds is first visible to the naked
eye. Therefore an object having an
angular diameter Of one second can be
seen when it is magnified thirty times.
An arc Of one second represents about
G,O00 square feet ut the center Of the
lunar disc. Hence. q telescope that
magnifes thirty times will make Wis.
ibIe q spot G.O00 feet in diameter on
the surface Of the moon
4 more powerful telescope will reveal
smaller objects. One with four inches
J. aperture md u power of 30Diwill show
objects OF GOO feet diameter. One
with power OF 1000 dlameters will
reveal details measuring about ninety
feet
This. however. Is theory. 1t takes q
trained and practiced eve to see fine
details through telescope. The agita-
ton Of the earth's atmosphere by
winds and currents interfereS terribly
with the use Of very high powers in
telescopes. All enlargement of 400 di.
ameters almost exceeds the practical
limit 1t can be used only on perfectly
clear. still nights when the moon is
high above the horizon. This will re-
veal objects loo feet IN diameter, but
will not show any form or detail.
