st. Louis, July 18.-Asserting that

operate the railways Of the country, ].
J. Keegan, commissioner Of the de-

Mr.. Keegan said that once the gov

based this assertion on the fact that

SENTRY 5 n Y FATALLY |: 1 ! |: /
WOUNDS MEXICAN
American Soldier Says Victim
Refused to Halt.
NEW CRISIS i; Threatened

Prominent carranza Leaders Are Very
Much AsItated Over the incident
and Strong Protest to Washington
From Mexico City May Result.
Douglas, Ariz., July 1S.-Private r.
Tucker, Eleventh infantry, shot and
probably fatally wounded Antonio
Rodriguez, Mexican musician, while
the Mexican and a companion were
making their way toward the interna-
tional boundary. One of them carried
a rifle, according to the guards state
ment.
Tucker said that he called to the
men to halt, but they did not do so.
He has not been arrested.
All American guards are said to
have instructions to fire on any one
bearing arms should they fail to halt
when ordered to do So.
Rodriguez and his companion de-
clared, however, that they were on
Mexican soil when the shooting oc-
CURED. General P. Elias Gales. mill
tary commander of Sonora. sent a
telegram to General Carranza which,
it was said, protested in strong terms
against the "desecration Of Mexican
soil and the libertise of Mexicans."
Adolfo de la Huerta, governor OF
Sonora, sent similar protest, under
stood to have been couched in even
stronger language, to Jesus Acuna,
minister of foreign relations In the
Carranza cabinet.
Ives G.. Lelevier, Mexican consul,
telegraphed to Eliseo Arredondo. am
bassaAor designate of the Mexican
xovernnent in Washington. requesting
that he protest to the state depart
ment and demand redress. Lelevier
also visited General T. F. Davis to
urge him to investigate the cause and
punish the sentry. General Davis
promised to make an investigation,
Lelevier said.
Com panion Tells Story.
According to the story of com.
panion OF Rodriguez he and Rodri.
suez were unarmed. They had been
in Douglas, he said, and had started
for Aqua Prieta. As the customs
house, the usual place for crossing,
was nearly half mile distant, they
decided to cross the boundary a few
yards from where they were. They
did SO, not noticing any American SOL
dior IN thof vicinity ho said
After he had reached Mexican terri
tory, he said in his statement to the
Mexican officials, he heard a shot. He
turned to see where it had been fired
from and saw the American soldier
throw the ejector Of his rifle, then
throw a cartridge into the breech of
his gun.
He said he dropped to the ground,
but that Rodriguez, who was near
sighted and unable to see the soldier,
walked on until the fifth shot fired by
the soldier struck him and he fell.
The shooting was reported to Gen.
eral Gales, who was with Governor de
la Huerta. Consul Lelevier was sum-
moned from Douglas.
"This is the sort of treatment my
people are given after all / have done
for Americans" Gales exclaimed. He
and De la Huerta instructed the con-
sui to proceed to the spot and investi-
gate, which he did.
Rodriguez was found approximately
100 yards south of the border, but
whether he had been carried there or
had fallen where he was found has
not been determined.

One reform which the candidate said
