LIGHT THROWN ON MEXICO
FOR benefit OF SENATORS
President Replies to Fall Resolution
Asking Reasons for Recognition
of Carranza, Etc.

Washington-President Wilson sent
to the senate Thursday his response
to the Fall resolution adopted last
month requesting him to report on
'acts leading up to recognition by the
United States of the de facto govern
ment of Mexico, headed by General
Venustiano Carranza 1t was in the
form of a long letter from Secretary
Lansing summarizing the events
which preceded recognition and trans
hitting a great volume Of data, in
Guiding a list of al Americans killed
In Mexico and along the border dur
ing the past six years.
The president, through Mr.. Lansing,
declined to comply with that part OF
the Fall resolution asking for dlplo'
matte and consular reports on po-
litical conditions and events in Mex
leo. The senate was informed that II
was not compatible with public inter-
est to furnish this correspondence in
asmuch as it was OF a highly conf
Dental nature.
As to the ability of Carranza to full,
fill his promises to protect foreign
lives and property, Mr.. Lansing said
that under all the circumstances the
de facto government, which at the
time of recognition controlled more
than Is per cent of MeXiCo's territory,
was affording reasonably adequate
protection to the lives and property
Of American citizens"
The data disclosed that seventy-six
Americans were killed in Mexico in
the years 1913, 1914 and 1915. as com.
pared with forty-seyen in the three
years preceding, and that twenty civil
ian Americans and sixteen soldiers
were killed on American soil in the
last three years as a result of Next
can troubles.

A Reward of $1,000, Dead or Alive, Is
Offered by Governor Ferguson
for This Man Pizana.

Brownsville, TeX--In arresting last
week Aniceto Pizana, alleged leader in
the recent bandit raids on the Ameri'
can side of the lower border, American
military authorities at Brownsville
feel that the de facto government in

in maintaining peace on the border.
General Alfredo Ricaut, command
ing the Mexican forces on the lower
frontier, wired General Carranza OF

General CarranZa whether or not Pi
zana will be turned over to the Ameri

mand in Matamoros, to American Con

formed that Pizana was making fire
Quent trips between the American ant
Mexican sides Of the Rio Grande, ant
