fairs.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
Senior Francis Lagos Chaser, the
latest president elevated to the
Mexican white house by the Villa
faction, today replied to the note sent
Mexico several weeks ago by Presit
dent Wilson. The message was rather
drastic in tone and may cause stir
when considered at cabinet meeting
The Greaser chieftain expressed the
opinion that President Wilson ad-
dressed this note to the factions at
war in Mexico, with the idea of as
sisting them adjust matters. The re-
ply states that while President Viii,
son was probably actuated by friendly
feelings for the people IN Mexico, the
United States had best consider the
matter thoroughly before interfering.
The provisional president cited
President Wilson to his Indianapolis
speech, in which he stated he did not
have the least intention of interfering
in Mexican affairs.
The note ends with warning to
the United States that while Mexico
is torn by internal strife that national
pride is not dead, and any outside in
reference will be resented by Mexico
and the factions will forget their
troubles and join against the common
enemy.
Official Washington refused TO
comment on the reply issued by the
Mexican president.

Four Years in Peninsula State.
(By Associated Press.)

PENSACOLA, Fla, June 1S-Un-
usual indignation has been caused by
the receipt of news from the Santa
Rosa Sound section today to the effect
that Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Weyman, both
aged and highly respected residents of
this county, had been shot to death in
their beds by cowardly assassins, who
fired at the sleeping victims through q
screened window. The shots, accord
ing to authentic information reaching
Pensacola early this afternoon, were
fired at close range, the intense dark
ness prevailing enabling the assassin
to approach within a few feet of the
victims. Ugly wounds were made by
the large calibre bullets, and the two
bodies when found presented a sick
ening sight.
The Weymans, who are said to be
wealthy, lived much to themselves,
and had little communication with
other persons living in their neigh
borhood, but wer uniformly pleasant
and we'll thought of by neighbors. They
came here four years ago from some
part of Illinois, and are known to
have been wealthy. The names and
addresses of relatives are unknown to
the local authorities, but efforts are
already under way to locate these.
AS soon as news of the terrible deed
reached Pensacola, the sheriff, and
a number of deputies, accompanied By
track dogs, hurried to the scene of
the crime, where they found posse
of citizens already engaged in the
task of ferreting out the assassin3.
The number of persons on the scene
when the sheriff's party arrived made
the use of dogs impracticable, but
it was ascertained where the murderer
stood while firing the fatal shots, AMI
exact measurements of his shoe tracks
have been taken. These indicate the
deed was committed by negro, the
shoe worn by the murderer being of
rather large size, and robbery was
the probable motive prompting the
deed
