Place of Execution.

Laredo, Feb. 25.-Official confirmation
OF the haLgtng OF Clemente Vergora,
american citizen. by Mexican federals
near Hidalgo. Mexico. was received to-
uay py United States Consul Garrett at
Nuevo Laredo. The report said YER
gara's bodv Is still hanging three niles
from Hfdalgo. Consul Garrett imme-
o1ately left Nuevo Laredo for the scene.
Vergara Was Texas Ranchman.
vereara was citizen of Webb
county, Texas. where he engaged in
the ranching business. He used an
island in the Rio Grande, opposite his
ranch at Palafox. Texas, as pasture
for his horses. Vergara Complained
that Mexican federals were stealing
his horses and a small detachment Of
Texas rangers was sent to his ranch.
On February 13, Mexicans appeared
on the island and called to Vergara
to come over saying they would pay
him for the horses. The rangers ad-
vised against compliance with the re-
quest but the ranchman decided to go.
When Vergara reached the island,
according to reports he was struck in
the back of the head by the soldiers
and made unconscious. He was then
carried into the interior Of Mexico.
Representations on behalf of Yer
CARA were made to the federal COM
mandant at Nuevo Laredo and to Cen
eral Mas at Monterey. The ranch
mans release was promised and appre-
henstOn for his safety was allayed un-
til his long absence caused inquiries
to be made. Information was given
out by the Mexican authorities that
vergara's release already had been
ordered.
Yesterday reports were brought to
Consul Garrett that Vergara had been
hanged by the Mexicans either on the
night of his capture or the morning
after and the consul dispatched an
emissary to Hidalgo to learn the facts.
The report confirming the hanging
was brought here today.

bonds and telephoned the police, who
Immediately began work n tho case.
The treasury safe contained about
1880 in currency. according to Will
liam c. Brown, state treasurer. It is
believed the men abandoned their ef-
forts to open the safe because they
were short Of explosives.

A BOLD H0LDUP.
Man Drew Gum ON Topekan in His
Own Doorway.

An attempted holdup was made last
Thursday night upon the person OF
NJ. F. Southwick, at his home. 427
Topeka avenue.
A man was seen walking in front
Of the Southwick home that evening
and was acting rather suspiciously. It
is said that he peered into the win
dows of the house and walked around
it several times. Finally he walked
up on the porch and rang the door
bell.
NJ. F. Southwick came to the door
and turned on the porch light. He
opened the door just q little and the
man, muffled up SO that his face was
unrecognizable, had a gun in his hand.
Mr.. Southwick shut the door quickly,
before the footpad had time to seize
any money or obtain entrance in the
house.
With the porch light on, in full view
Of the street, the footpad did not run
away. Instead he hesitated on the
porch for a moment and then calmly
walked away.
That was a bold thing for a man to
do in a city, but footpads and holdup
men this winter have developed great
nerve and daring.

London, Feb 25.-Five prominent suf-

suits in the settlement Of the Mexican
situation.
The war department holds out lit
tie nope OF an early return OF the
troops from the border" said Mr.. An
thony, until after the Mexican en-
broglio is settled and the necessity Of
troops Is passed. It is my personal
opinion that President Wilson's policy
OF 'watchful waiting will not bring the
results he hoped for, and that it will
soon be necessary for the United States
to do what we should have done q
year ago-that Is to restore peace and
order and exercise the proper police
power in Mexico by armed interven-
ton.
I'VE have sat idly by while Ameri-
can property and American lives were
being sacrificed; but now that one
Englishman has lost his life, our gov
ernment may be stirred into doing its
duty.
The lower house of congress has
Just finished consideration Of the i'm
migration bill and the Alaskan rail-
road bill. 1 voted for both measures
The necessity for some reasonable re-
striction on immigration was unQues-
toned, and with the amendment pro-
viding that the literacy test should not
apply where the immigrant was flee
ing from religious persecution or dis
elimination. the bill was made good.'
