dicted by George Addison Hughes OF
Los Angeles, who for years has repre-.
scented Los Angeles newspaper in Mex
leo and left Mexico City only March IL
Mr.. Hughes stated that foreigners in
Mexico have been subjected to every
kind of outrage and have ceased dealing
with the Washington government. The
international committee of Mexico City
representing seventeen foreign colonies
and a population of $4,000, have had
their pleadings rejected by the Ameri-
can government, and now have sent Mr.
Hughes and Arthur Bullard johnson,
an attorney at Mexico City, to the Unit
ed States to make public the story of
more recent outrages against foreign
ers which President Wilson and the state
department have suppressed. This story
is back with affidavts describing in
detail forty-two cases of atrocities
against foreigners by members of bellig-
erent factions in Mexico.
Mr.. Hughes says that eleven foreign
ers were willfully assassinated in Mex
leo City. of whom one was an American,
one a Swede, three We're Ottomans and
six were Spaniards. One French woman
was attacked many times while her hus-
band, tied hand and feet and prodded
with bayonets, was compelled to look
on. One American was shot while de-
tending his wife from a similar fate.
Five Americans and as many Eng
lish, French, German and Swedish, and
twenty.eight Spanish homes or business
establishments were sacked. Two Amer
leans, woman and her husband, faced
a firing squad OF hooters. Three Span
iards were condemned to death, two were
abducted and have disappeared, eleven
were brutally beaten, one had his bust
ness establishment burned about his
ears, and ten lost total of l0l ,0s5 Pc
SOS in cash. The total property lass
TO foreigners in Mexico will run 10 mill
lions in gold
MIR. Hughes gives names in all cases.
Among foreigners recently outraged in
Mexico City are George w. Bryant, c.

ward Hoenieh, G.. W. Schultz, all Amer
leans; G. w. Patton, British; Max Otto,
German; b. Series, French; Mime. de

Hughes charges, fearing lest the tremen-
dous forces OF public opinion nigh balk
the arbitrary policy of non-intervention
in Mexico, and frantically hoping that
the American people viii not hear of
these cases, has fatty refused 10 make
even the most conseryateily worded pro.
test public.
