LOOTING AND
KILLING RULE
MEXICO CITY

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 26.--killings un-
der the guise of executions, wholesale
considerations and footing in Mexico
City have turned the government OF
the capital into anarchy, according to
Americans who arrived Sunday on
the single daily train north to Juarez.
They say newspaper correspondents
are unable, because of the censorship,
to telegraph or cable reports of con-
ditions irf the capital as they exist.
According to these Americans, the
Constitutionalist army in Mexico City
is little better than mob in disci-
pline, but it controls everything, while
Gen. Carranza and tina officials sur
rounding him are either unable or I'M
willing to interfere. Such orders as the
First Chief issues are largely disre-
garded.
Many civilians have been executed
within fortnight, and the great Be-
lem prison is said to be full of polit-
ical prisoners and others whose only
offense has been that they protested
against confiscation of their property
Among those executed in the past
few days are Ricardo Barrara, Leo
narde Valtierra and Salvador Fra
gees. who were charged with having
participated in the attack on the Ma
tional Palace at the time of the up
rising against President Madero. All
three denied that they took any part
in the fighting.
Major Luis Terrazas Sd and Lieut..
Guillermo Terrazas. grandsons OF Gen.
Luis Terrazas of this city, were eX-
ecuted a few days ago. They were
former Federal officers. The reason
for their execution was not made
public.
Beautiful homes, among the finest
in the capital, have been seized, their
owners dispossessed and the premises
given to army offices.
Any evidence of craftsmanship for
Gen. Villa is considered by the capt.
tai authorities an offense punishable
by death, but often, especially at night
there are cries of Viva Villa"
The Americans say the civilians
with whom they had talked in the
capital seemed unanimous in the hope
that either the United States or Cen.
Villa might end the reign of lawless-
ness

picious of the Italian army doctors in

men, have sent army surgeons of Ger

many persons have escaped by crossing
