Plans Regeneration Of the
Southern Republic Through
Aid Of American Farmers

American farmers to till Mexican soil.

can minds--that was plan before
the Mexican peace commits
sion today
Such program was intended to be
part OF Mexico's contemplated regen-
Grafton. The commission agreed that
it would be feasible.
As formulated thus far. the scheme
is only to have such numbers of
Americans as will set an example for
the Mexicans and there is every in
tention to avoid anything that smacks
of American interference Or control.
The Mexicans presented data TO-DAY.
supplementing yesterdays on rail-
roads. to show that there is an honest
effort to make the rich country be-
low the Rio Grande blossom anew
after six years of civil strife.
They told the American commits
sioners that while crops in some parts
OF Mexico have suffered from lack of
labor, other portions show remark
able productivity. These essential.
underlying economic problems will be
thoroughly probed before the ques-
ton of Withdrawing American troops
is determined definitely.
Both sides agree that work must be
provided, and that the uneducated
must be taught before Mexico can
have any assurance of continued pro-
gress.
President Wilson's presence in New
London. six miles from the Griswold
hotel. commission headquarters. had
no effect upon the meetings. The
American group stated that their visit
there last night was strictly to pay
their condolences. and not to talk
Mexican matters.
Secretary Of the Interior Lane and
his conferees hoped to be able to re-
port to the president within the next
few days a definite plan contemplat-
ing withdrawal Of American troops
from Mexico and restriction Of the
border patrol. with fewer men than

ON FARM WHERE FOUND

Taloga, Okla, Feb. ga coroners
jury decided Tuesday afternoon that
James Greed, his wife, their small
children and Creed's two brothers
came to their death early TUESDAY
morning by being crematel in a fire
of unknown origin. Funeral services
were held over the seven charrcd
bodies Tuesday afternoon and the
bodies buried on the Greed farm.
Tuesday morning about o'clock a
neighbor passing the Greed farm saw
the smoking ruins of the Greed home,
and investigation disclosed the seven
charred bodies, burned almost beyond
recognition. Greed was about 50
years old; his wife about 81 years old,
his two brothers about Is and 20 years
old, respectively. and the children
ranged from to II years.
The charred bodies were found close
together in the embers, which were
smOuldering when the neighbor ap-
preached the site Tuesday morning.
The Creeds lived in 4 small frame
house, the rooms of when were paper
ed. During the inquest which was
held at the Greed home Tuesday az
ternoon a woman whose home is
near the Greed farm, testified that she
saw the blaze about , O'Clock TUESDAY
morning, but thought the blaze was
caused by prairie fire.
Although hundreds of persons Wis
tied the ruins Tuesday anil many tos
titled before the coroner's my. no
one was found who could shed def
mite light on how the fire orr i-,inateG. |
The general belief is that paper on
