T. R. WRONG ON MEXICO.
Senator Owen Says Claim 500 Ameri-
cans Were Killed Is Preposterous.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 1-Senator
Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, in a
speech here, replied to statements of
Theodore Roosevelt on his recent West
ern campaign tour that during Presi-
dent Wilson's administration cover 500
Americans and 800 Chinese have been
killed in Mexico.
Mr.. Roosevelt S premises are un-
true, declared Senator Owen - Under
Roosevelt S own administration at least
so Americans were reported killed; I'M
der Taft, 81 Americans; under Wilson,
ll9 citizens and SO soldiers and marines
during nearly four years of revolution.
During Taft S administration 386 for
eigners were reported to the state de-
partmcnt as killed in Mexico, and dur
ing Wilson s administration only $50
were reported, including II British, 80
Spaniards, + Germans, I japanese and
! Chinese.
Roosevelt s statement that the Pres
ident had abandoned 5000 Americans
exposed to mob at Tampico is base
campaign eanard and calumnv.
| Admiral Mayo ordered his boats i'll
and Captain Dougherty of the British
navy requested Admiral Mayo to per
nit British marines to remove all for
eigners to prevent loss of life. This was
done and all Americans were sent home
by Admiral Mayo without loss of life
Captain Dougherty put his request on
the ground of protecting British sub
jects from exposure from battle in the
streets of Tampico which would have
occurred if United States marines land
ed. The United States had just killed
over hundred Mexicans at Vera
Cruz -
