Washington.-How the American
aag. which was flying over the home
Of John B. McManus, citizen Of the
United States, in Mexico City, was
torn and dragged half way down the
pole" by Zapata soldiers when they
murdered McManus and looted his
house two weeks ago, is told in dis
patches from the Brazilian Minister
and made public by Secretary Bryan.
This incident was reported at the
time the death Of McManus was being
investigated. Secretary Bryan said
reparatlon for the insult to the flag
had been asked OF the Zapata authori-
ties. but that so far no reply had come.
In answer to inquiries, he said there
had been no demand for a salute to
the flag. as in the Tampico affair.
An expression of regret for the kill
ing Of McManus already has been re-
ceived from General Palafox, the
Zapata commander, with promise OF
indemnity for the family and punish
ment for the slayers If apprehended.
Dragged Down Pole.
Mr.. Bryan explained that the Bra
lillian Minister in reporting McManus'
death, March IL, mentioned only the
fact that the American flag was flying
over the house. The next day he sent
another report referring to "the
desecratlon Of the flag" An Inquiry
from the department as TO what this
meant brought an explanation on
March l6 that an American commit
tee, which investigated the occurrence,
reported TO him that following fusil'
ladlng, which preceded the general
entry OF the Zapatstas into the house
the flag was badly torn by the Zapati'
stas and dragged half way down the
pole.
The same committee, the minister
reported, had submitted to him a
photograph Of the house and flag.
In this connection it became known
that several foreign flags had been vio-
lated recently at Manzanillo, among
them the American flag over the house
Of an American ranchman. When the
matter was called to the attention OF
. General Carranza, he denied the truth
Of the reports OF American and British
4 consuls.

THE ROAD PROGRAM.

Harrisburg. w c. Spronl,
of Delaware. said the program OF 'egis.
lation for the State Highway Depart
ment had been practically agreed
upon. He introduced bill repeating
the Act which makes the State re-
sponsible for the expenses of the

on the counties. This will save the
Commonwealth between 100000 and
$5OO,OOO year, which will be applied

The Senator says 1t has been de-
clded to put in bill to repeal the 1900
routes added to the Sproul Act by the
last Legislature. These roads would
not have been taken over by the State
