ZAPATA FORCE IS
At CAPITAL Gates
Reports of Riot, Loot and Muir
der Reach Washington
Geo. C. CarotherS Ordered to
90 to Mexico City.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Sec'y of
State Bryan had authentic reports
from Mexico City today of a rampant
riot loot and murder. Mr.. Bryan ad-
united he had dispatches showing
that the forces of Zapata had reached
the suburbs Of the Mexican capital
and that disorders had OCCURRED.
He said these disorders had been sup
pressed by civilians and soldiers" He
did not know who the soldiers were,
but assumed that they were soldiers
Of Gen. Luis Blanco.
Mr.. Bryan announced that he had
ordered John r. Silliman, his special
agent at Mexico City, to go TO the
Carranza camp at OriZStba.
George G. CarotherS is to remain In
Mexico City with Gen. Villa, who Is
expected any moment at the Mexican
capital.
The United States has no repre-
sentative with Gen. Zapata who has
gathered around him the roughest ele-
ments in Mexico. The official dis
patches to the state department say
this element is actually in the suburbs
of Mexico City and may control it un-
til it has been thoroughly looted.
The embassies and legations at
Washington interested N the safety of
their citizens in Mexico City are ap-
q
it because of the cutting Of wires and
the interruption Of train transporta-
ton from Mexico City TO Vera Cruz.
Mr.. Bryan said there had been no
inquiries from the legations in Wash
ington today and the state department
had no information to give them.
dispatch filed at Mexico City by
Mr.. Stilliman at 2 p. m yesterday and
received at Vera Cruz at p. m, did
not reach the department here until
this morning. The facts indicate that
the messages are being held up every
where in Mexico and that important
word is at least II hours behind time.
The general situation in Mexico
gathered from the departments dis
patches and from other authentic in
formation is that Gen Blanco, who
was TO remain and protect Mexico
City, left there yesterday morning at
2 o'clock.
Gen Carranza IS expected in Vera
Cruz tomorrow TO take over the gov
ernment from his agent, Gen. Aguilar.
Gen villa is supposed to be very
near Mexico City and 1t Is in doubt
whether he will fraterniZe with the
Zapata forces now in control there, or
will have TO give them battle TO take
the city.
should Villa succeed in controlling
Zapata and his own forces his next
move, il is understood, viii be to
march against Gen. CarranZa and
capture Vera Cruz.

TREAT THE BETS HERE
ProWers County Beets Should be
Treated in Prowers County

y
yet not one ton of beet sugar was
made in the county.
The sugar beet industry is one
OF the greatest industries ever in
troduced in the state of Colorado;
it Is a paying proposition for both
the beet grower and the sugar
factory; it has meant much to
this valley and will mean much
more.
But sugar beets grown in
ProWers county should be treated
in ProWers county. The Holly
Sugar Co., has a splendid factory
in this town, the American Beet
Sugar Co., has a factory in La
mar. Neither factory was in
operation this year yet there
were enough beets raised in this
county to have run one factory
for the usual term of months.
The running of either factory
would have meant that many
thousands of dollars would have
been paid out in this county for
labor and various kinds of sup
plies. Our men would have had
work and work that MANY had
depended upon to-for number
of months. And this money paid
these men would have been ex-
pended in this county and for the
purpose of building up this val
ley.
The Chieftain would like to see
all beets grown in Prowers coun-
ty in the future treated in Prov
ers county. We believe that the
Sugar companies wish to assist in
the work of building this section
and believe that this would prove
a step in the right direction.
