alton of the convention. government in :
cidental to the flight Saturday from
the capital of Eulalio Gutierrez, the

who yesterday occupied Monterey, an
important center in eastern Mexico. has
appealed for the imm ediate sending

LACK OF Definite CLUES
IN HUGHES, HOME TRAGEDY
Virginia Officials and Washington
Police Continue Search for Mur-
derers Of Waldrop and Cohanas.

The finding of .32-caliber revolver
cartridge in the railway station at
Clark Station, Va. last evening. 1t Is
believed by the police. will have some
bearing on the murder of Isaac Wal
drop and Nicholas Coffinas. and the as
sault upon Mrs. Matte A. Hughes at
the 1atter's home on Mount Vernon
avenue, in Alexandria county, more
than week ago.
What was thought to be good clue
to one of the possible assailants. on
which the police were working In
Washington Saturday night, proved to
be valueless. A man had taken a pair
of trousers and later a coat to tailor
to have them cleaned. The trousers
were taken to the place several days
ago and had blood spots on them. Ihe
coat was taken two days later. This
also contained blood spots. The police
were notified.
Four detectives from police headquar-
ters covered the place throughout
Saturday and into early Sunday morn
ing. 1t developed early yesterday
morning that the owner of the cloth
ing had been struck in the nose and the
blood on his clothing had resulted from
the accident.
Mrs. Hughes condition, it was stated
at Sibley Hospital today, is continuing
to improve. 1t is expected she will be
able to leave the institution the latter
part of the week.

Negroes in the American Army.

10 tne E1ltOf OF Inc Staf:
l have read with much interest the
several articles contributed to your
journal by James Croggon and A. N.
Seip. discussing the first entrance of
the negro soldier into the military
service of this country. Mr.. Croggon
maintains that as separate military
units they first fought under Gen. Jack
son in the second war with Great
Britain Mr.. Seip quotes history to
show that they were very much in
evidence in the revolutionary struggle.
Mr.. Croggon replies as follows: LAS
far as I have been able to learn they
were there as individuals, not in sep
arate organizations and that there
were not many such in the service"
Mr.. Croggon in his reply has over
looked several well known historical
facts.
The diary of Baron Won Clauser, a
German army officer sent to this coun-
try by his government to report upon
military activities. was published in
part by the Ney York Herald a few
years ago and contained. among other
things. the following memorandum:
Il have visited Gen. Washington's s
camp at White Plains today. He has
10000 troops under him. one-fourth of
which are negroes, and the best drilled
and disciplined regiment in camp is a
Rhode Island regiment, three-fourths
of which are composed of negroes.
In Livermore's historical papers it
can be easily discovered that provision
was made by the legislature of several
of the colonies. subsequent to the es-
tablishment of the camp at White
Plains. for the recruiting of several
more thousand black soldiers.
These facts, it would seem, disposes
of the statement that there were not
many such in the service"
Whether this relatively large num-
ber of negro soldiers under Gen. Wash
ington all served in mixed regiments
/ do not know, but in the battle of
Rhode Island the Hessian mercenaries
were defeated with great loss of life
by negro soldiers operating in distinct
units under Col. Greene (see George

tion-picture realism of life-and death

which concerns England's treatment

TAMRCO OIL Wells
NOW IN NO DANGER
Tax Levies. However, Have Com
PEELED Some Plants to
Shut Down.

Foreign owned oil properties around
Tampico. Mexico. concerning which
both Secretary Bryan and the British
ambassador here made representations
to Gen. Carranza. are now said to be
in no danger of confiscation by Mexi-
can officials.
The State Department was advised to-
day by Vice Consul Bevan at Tampico
that the order recently issued by Car
rama was intended to apply only to
wells in process of drilling or about to
be started.
The message says all companies have
suspended drilling new wells.
According to a telegram from Gen.
Carranza to Eliseo Arredondo, his
representative here, conf1scation never
was contemplated, and the oil wells
are being operated without molesta-
ton.
While no general embargo on the ex-
portation of oil had been put into ef-
feet. the result of tax levies is said to
American owned concerns to close their
plants. The United States government
is negotiating with the Carranza au-
thorities to solve the question of dou-
BILE taxation.
U. s. Opposes Excessive Levies.
The oil companies have complained
that with the frequent change in de
facto control of the Tampico district
the foreign interests were subjected to
double taxation. The American gov
ernment has in the past taken a deter
mined stand against duplication of
taxes and will continue it's efforts to
prevent excessive levies.
One American company claims that it
had agreed to furnish the Carranza
forces with oil for locomotives in lieu
of taxes. and had supplied more than
the equivalent of the taxes, but still the
Carranza authorities were not satis-
fed.

CO[D-STORAGE PLANTS
FOR THE PARCEL POST

expects to initiate cold storage plants

Office building of any size in the coun-

to store outgoing parcel post shipments
which may border on the perishable.
Although the parcel post law provides
that the matter for shipment shall mot
be of a character perishable within
period reasonably required for trans
portation and delivery" it also vests
the Postmaster General with wide dis
cretion as to classification, etc.
The Postmaster General recently sub

whether a cold storage room and plant
may be provided in the Denver public
building from appropriations for that
structure, and whether appropriations
