had acquired in riding with Mexican
vaqueros in the cattle country, this pro-
longed court experience gave Mr.. West
a remarkable equipment for handling
the sort of investigation the President
this year intruSted to him.
Furthermore, northern Mexico knows
Mr.. West and respects him. Tales of
his physical bravery. as we'll as of his
intellectual and legal attainments,. are
rife along the border. Never was Mr..
West known as a bravo. but he has
had his part :. in some famous gun
fights. and always a part creditable
to him as an officer of the law.
For example, there is the story OF
the wiping out of the Whitley gang of
train robbers in the days when Mr..
West was deputy marshal. Mr.. Whitley
had systematized the industry of rob-
bling trains. He was doing a large
business.
One day the marshal got a tip that
Mr.. Whitley intended to hold up and
rob a certain Southern Pacific train out
of San Antonio on a certain night. Into
the mail car. which was just behind
the engine. Mr. West and another dep
uty were placed. Then in the baggage
car, next In the train. the marshal and
a considerable posse were slowed away
1t was expected that the Whitley
person would cut off the two cars, &C
cording to his custom. run them up
the track some miles. and then start
to rob them at his leisure. "hereupon
the marshal and his aids would spring
their little surprise party. But the
thing did not work out that way.
Whitley and five Of his gang held up
the train, all right, but they detached
only the mail car. 1t and the engine
were miles away when the marshal and
the main posse realized what had
taken place.
There was a surprise party. but the
surprised were Mr.. West and his lone
companion Under the circumstances
they felt that it was up to them to do
something Hence, when their car
stopped they slid open the door of the
car and went into action with their
artillery, shotguns and revolvers.
1t was a handsome fight in the f1f-
teen or twenty minutes it lasted.
Casualties consisted Of two train rob-
bers crippled. By hanging close to the
floor Mr. West and his companion es-
capped hurt, but they kept up such a
deadly fire that the robbers finally
fed.
Some days later information came in
that Whitley and his men were to take
dinner on a certain night at certain
house in Florasville. Four marshals,
Mr.. West in the party. secreted them
selves in the wing of the house and
waited. Presently Whitley and his
companions entered the dining room
and one lighted a lamp. Thereupon
Mr.. West kicked open the door and his
party entered. guns in hand.

00 7HAT has come to be called
MAN. the Presidents new Mex
V\W lean policy has been much
" " in evidence of late. In some
essential particulars it differs from the
Presidents earlier policy. Comment at
Washington is that the new policy is
based on more complete and accurate
information regarding the exact con-
dition of affairs in the republic to the
south, and that the man responsible for
furnishing that information, the one
whose report brought about the change
in the presidential attitude, is Duval
West of San Antonio. Tex.
Just who is Duval West? Why was
he selected to go into Mexico. inter
view the various leaders. military and
political. obtain a first-hand view of
the situation. and act as the Pres-
dents eyes in the field? What is his
equipment for the great task?
These are questions that have been
asked many times. more frequently in
recent weeks as the new policy was
developed. The answers have not been
full nor satisfactory. for Mr.. West
himself. occupying as he has a con-
fdential position. has kept close
mouth and has insisted on his owr.
personality remaining in the back
ground.
Briefly. Duval West is one of the
leading lawyers of Texas. He knows
Mexico and the Mexicans intimately.
closely He is learned in international
law. He has no axes to grind. He is
not politician. But he is an intensely
practical. hard-headed lawyer who
knows how to get at the root of any
thing he undertakes to investigate.
He has investigated Mexico and its
factional leaders and he has reported
TO the President his findings, his esti-
mates of the men who are TO the front
there, and his conclusions. His report
is a confidential document in the hands
of the President. But that it is to have
q tremendous bearing on the future of
Mexico is admitted by all who have
knowledge of the facts.
The Mexican situation at It's
worst last winter. The President want
cd some one with a sympathetic under
problems to go into the country and
make an unbiased report to him of the
exact situation. Reports that were COM
Ing in were conflicting and Inadequate.
The President knew the sort of man he
wanted. but he did not know the man.
Postmaster General Burleson and At
torney General Gregory. both of whom
are Texans. both residents of Austin.
suggested that Duval West a native OF
Austin, but living and practicing law
at San Antonio. met all requirements.
Accordingly, much to Mr.. Vests sur
prise. he was summoned to Washing
ton. Here he talked to the President.
who concluded that the Judgment of
the two cabinet officers had been
sound. In February Mr.. West was dis
patched on his grave and delicate mis-
sion to Mexico.

Joy the armed neutrality of some chief
tain whose hospitality at best was of
dubious quality. Again he and his
party. always keeping thirty PAGES
apart, day or night, to guard against
ambuscades by Mexican bandits, would
ride out over desert stretches where in
six days of journeyings there might be
but a single water hole.
But thirty years have somewhat
changed De Lancey Gilrs method of
procedure. He does not now go often
into the field, but adds to his collection
of pictured Indians when delegations
come to Washington to visit the Great
White Father, in the meantime filing
the post of chief illustrator for the
National Museum.
Yet in those thirty years there has
passed before the recording eye of his
camera strange company. Gay in
panoply and war paint of a time gone
by nave come crafty Sioux, cruel Co
manches, Cannibal Serbs from the wild
Tiburon Islands. dignified men of tho
Nez Perces. and. in fact, members OF
every tribe of the red brotherhood
which at the time he began his work
and southwest.
Came Geronimo. who, to his already
red record which had made him prfs-
oner of war on the Fort Sill reserva-
ton, added to his fame the claim of be-
ing the only Indian who refused to sit
before a camera without payment.

triarch of the Ne Perces. he who with
masterful generalship led the famous
retreat in the face of Gen. Miles col
umn across the Bitter Root mountains

reach sanctuary across the Canadian
border Came Wolf Robe and Running
Antelope. the only two Indians to be
immortalized upon the currency of the
United States and who appear upon the
buffalo nickels and five-dollar bllis;

their tribesmen, all eager to sit before
the camera of De Lancey Gill.
