Captain Morey the CarrizaI
Hero While Death Threatened

A wireless addressed to Moreys
wife in Austin. Texas, received last
night, read:
Am back on line and all WE'LL"
II was signed sidney" and sent
from Somewhere in Mexico"
General Funston had received no
word early today Of Morey's rescue.
II is not known whether Morey really
had been picked up by some Of Perish
ing's men or whether the wireless
had been written at the same time as
the letter. to allay Mrs. Morey's fears.
Meyer reported that three un-
wounded men with Morey carried him
about for miles the night OF the bat
tie. but that he became so weak from
loss of blood he could go no farther
and ordered them TO leave him.
He had been shot through the
shoulder The men thought he was
dying and obeyed. Their sense of
location was rather vague and al
though Meyer reconnoitered twenty
miles east of Santa Maria he found no
trace OF the missing officer He was
forced TO return to field headquarters
because his horses were in bad shape
and out of grain and forage.

South and Central America
Will Suggest Mediation

fore proceeding 10 details.
My first representations this after
noon will be merely informal and verbal.
Should the conference prove successful.
! will present a formal, written offer OF
good services
Calderon said he would have nothing
official to tell Lansing regarding Car
ranza's attitude as to mediation His
government has not made such an offer
TO CaTanza vet.
Minister Caderon's mission, officials
said is a parallel of that undertaken by
American ambassadors to the warning
powers of Europe al the outbreak OF
the war. At President Wilson's sugqes-
tion they made informal representations
offering this governments good offices
toward ending the conflict.
To date the following countries have
offered their services as mediators:
Ecuador, Salvador, Honduras. Costa
Rica and Chile The first three corm-
tries have presented their offers to the
Mexican embassy here as well as 10 the
Mexican foreign office All Of the offers
are informal and will not be made for
NAL unless either the United States or
Mexico agree 20 the proposal.

Immediate need
Of NEW Reservoir
City Engineer Hopes Rec
ommendS That Project
be Carried 0ut at Once
TUNNEL TO CARRY
WATER UNDER CREEK

The necessity for the immediate
erection of the proposed new reser.
voir at Eighth and Clayton streets at
the earliest possible moment is en-
phasized in the 1914-1915 annual re-
port of City Engineer Edgar M.
Hopes, Jr., which has just been pre-
sented. Attention also is called to
the saving to the city of water
through the use of meters. The ad-
vantages of the system are explained
in the report. and the number of mil
lions of gallons of water saved are
po nted out
The total quantity Of water
pumped during the year was 3.551.-
373390 gallons. a decrease compared
with the previous year of GAL 1,O54.9OO
gallons. or slightly in excess of
1,756,OO0 gallons a day, which was
decrease of 20.S gallons per capita.
The manufacturing consumption at
the end of the fiscal year was S12 .047
gallons a day largely due to the dull
conditions in he leather industry, but
this has since been changed to a
largely increased daily consumption
over normal periods.
Placing of hydrants on Shipley.
Market, King and French streets is
not entirely satisfactory, the report
says and this is being remedied. A
good deal Of work remains to be
done in strengthening the distribu-
tion system. but this involves prob
lens that have to be studied with
great care.
Practically all Of the special fund
OF $4,000 for underground work
will be expended in advance of
street paving for new and larger
water mains. additional fire hy
drants and in extending the pres
ent high service limits to include
the principal mercantile districts OF
the city.
Regarding the construction Of
tunnel under the Christiana river to
supply water and other service to
the south side and to overcome
breaks in the present mains. the re-
ports says. that the ultimate solu
ton of the difficulties experienced
by all utilities in the city will be
found in constructing a tunnel under
the Christiana river"

Would Establish Police Zone
TO Keep Peace on Continent

other bandits are operating La Ma
cion suggested. American troops
should be admitted to hunt them
down, though barred from the towns.
The American government must guar
.antee that the sole purpose of these
expeditions is the policing OF Mexican
territory. Under the same agreement
Mexicans must be admitted to the
United States to hunt down Mexican
outlaws. The proposal further pro-
vided that both sides regard the Car
rial clash and other incidents as
closed. Furthermore, the United
States is not to claim any indemni-
ties for damage to American property
or the loss of American lives.
Chiles cooperation in mediation eff
forts are certain. II is probable that
Brazil would also joint Argentine if
assured that mediation would be ac-
ceptable to the United States.

A little, grey. spectacled man. whose

almost incongruous in his army khaki

can situation today. He is Captain
Lewis S. Morey. commanding Troop
X, Tenth Cavalry. who. while desper-
ately wounded and apparently dying.
sent General Pershing the first off,
GERS report of the battle Of Carrizal
His name was added to the list Of
American army heroes in the report
telling Of his ordering his men when
he became so weak from loss of blood
TO proceed without him.
Morey wrote the letter TO Pershing
while hiding in an arroyo 20O0 yards
from the scene OF the battle.
When II was completed he dispatch
ed II by three negro troopers, who
had taken refuge with him. These
three men were picked up by Troop
NJ, of the Tenth. commanded by Lieu
tenant Henry A. Meyer, Jr.
The letter was addressed 10 Morey's
immediate superior. the commanding
officer at Ojo FREDERICK.

OF suggestions, designed to prevent

La Nacion suggested that II these
