The rioters were savage in their desperation and the women were the worst. I do not know man in Mxico who could han dle the situation, but it is certain that the people will flock to the standard of any revolutionst who shows any strength and capital
 The feeling against the Americans is running high and has been increased by the Parral incident The Durango City papers published lurid accounts of what had happened. They said the 'gringoes had murdered 500 women and children, but had fled like cow ards when the Mexican soldiers at tackled them. These stories are be- lieved by the peons and have caused situation which is making it dam gerous for an American to remain in the interior. l have come out after spending 15 years there, and l know others who have spent twice that time in Mexico who are leaving"
 Reports reached here tonight that ser,- ous rioting had broken out in Mexico City, These reports came from Mexican sources and were as usual, impossible to confirm.

PLANES ARE LINKED

Columbus, N. M., April 22.-Six of the eight aeroplanes which have been used by the expeditionary fliers in Mexico have been destroyed as worthless junk it was learned here tonight. Two of the planes are now undergoing repairs here.
 With the halt in field operations it was determined that none of the planes remaining in Mexico could be used and all were burned. Captain Foulois, com handing the First Aero squadron, and his entire command are now on their way. here from the field in motor cars to equip new planes for service.
 American troops in the field are utiliz- ing their time in the halt in operations in strengthening their positions. The line of communication, extending almost 500 miles south of the border, also is being made more secure by the dispatch of additional forces from Columbus, a ward today.
 General Pershing's army continued in- active and quiet was reported all along the American line today The expedi- tionary commander with his staff has established headquarters at Namiquipa that he may be in close communication with General Scott and General Funston in San Antonio.
 Messages from some of the advanced expeditionary columns were sent to Gen eral Pershing today over the Mexican telegraph lines to Juarez, being relayed from there to Columbus, and from here to Namiquipa by army wireless, thus travelling almost in circle. The contents of these dispatches was not revealed here.

At an early hour this morning the negro had not been captured. No cause except downright brutality is assigned for the cruel act.

COUNTY CONVICT SEEKS FREEDOM
 AND MEETS DEATH

Martin Johnson, county convict, was shot and instantly killed yesterday while attempting to escape from convict camp No 6, located near Morris. There are conflicting reports as to the shooting, but one of the officials of the camp stated that the negro had succeeded in getting away from the camp and that they noti- fled the several towns close by to watch out for the escape. It is stated that a farmer who lives at or near Gardersville saw the negro, and ordered him to stop, which, it is stated, caused the negro to run. It is said that the farmer shot at the fleeing negro with fatal results.
 Coroner Spain was notified of the oc- currence and will investigate.

 More Precarious Daily

Fl Paso April 2s.-The crossing of ad' ditional American troops into Mexico from Columbus today caused a feeling approaching dismas among Mexican of ficials in Juarezy, who were previously convinced that General Pershirg' expe- dition was on the point of withdrawal. General Gavira the Juarez commandant, was frank in his expressions of concern.
 q do not understand why additional troops are being sent in understood that the American government was con sidering the withdrawal of it's forces, and this move puzzles me. confess It causes me some anxiety, as l fear 1t Will have an unfavorabie effect on the Mexi- can people, who will not be able to understand it any better than l.
 American army officers here, while re- fusing to express a definite opinion on the troop movement, pointed out that 1t did not necessarily mean that the idea of recalling the Pershing expedition had been abandoned. One officer offered this as a possible explanation:
 MIGHT BE ATTACKED
 eve all realize that if the American troops begin to withdraw it may excite the various bands of Villa followers who are still roaming about northern Mexico and who will conclude that the Ameri- cans are leaving because they have been defeated. This may easily incite them to attacks on our line of communica- tions which is very poorly protected. The additional troops sent into Mexico may be merely intended as a guard for our communications in the event of with drawal.'
 There is little question that officers here generally believe withdrawal is possible. Some of them have private ly expressed the opinion that General Pershing already has taken the pre- iminary steps in the concentrations Of his columns at three or four points, a move which will enable him to evac- uate the more dangerous points of oc- cupation with minimum delay after he receives orders from Washington.
 Renewed anxiety was shown here to- day over the grave conditions in Mex ico. Carranza money suffered another decline today, being quoted in a local brokers office at 1sz cents on the do1- lar. Americans arriving from the in terior are unanimous in their state- ments that the situation of the de fac- to government is becoming exceeding ly precarious. and that every city they have passed through food riots were almost daily occurrence.
 One American who arrived here from Durango City described. the conditions in that state as terrible. He said that the country people were Hooking into the cities by thousands, there being nothing left to eat in the bandit-rav- aged country.

SHAW SAYS TARIFF
IS THE MAIN ISSUE
Former Secretary of the Treas
ury Shows How Demo Rule
Works Against U. s.
TOURS STATE THIS WEEK

Leslie NJ. Shaw, former governor
of Iowa and secretary OF the treasury
during the Roosevelt administration,
believes that the tariff question is the
overshadowing issue in this campaign,
He is convinced that the more the
people understand the fallacies OF the
Underwood tariff law the more they
are inclined to -repudiate this demo
cratic measure.
Mr.. Shaw was here few hours be-
tween trains, enroute to Nebraska
towns where he is scheduled to speak
in behalf of Charles E. Hughes.
In connection with the operations
of the Underwood tariff bill he ex-
pressed these thoughts:
Industry Faces Ruin.
while in Chicago recently was
asked to visit large wholesale es-
Enlistment, where | was shown a
room filled with American chinawarc
made in Japan. The chinawarc was
identical to the Ainerican-made prod
uct. Bear in mind that a piece of
chinaware is a penny's worth of clay
plus labor. Every chinaware factory
in this country faces absolute ruin
under the Underwood tariff law.
THE payroll of the United States
in normal times equals that of all of
the rest of the world. Our badly
managed foreign affairs involve our
existence as nation, but the payroll
after the war presents to my mind a
far more alarming aspect. Let our
factory doors be closed and internal
complications OF the most serious
character are inevitable. In my
speeches l have covered a very wide
range and have felt out my audiences
with some care ard without hesita-
ton ! would say that in every state
where | have spoken the tariff issue
and industrial conditions dependent
thereon create more interest than all
other subjects.
To Close Cotton Mills.
II spoke in North Carolina, where
500 cotton mills may be seen within
200 miles of Charlotte. Reports from
all but two of these mills indicate they
realize they will have to close after
the war unless the Underwood tariff
law is repealed. Let me give you a
typical instance of this situation. |

to the Diapers Of the automatic loom
industry. Within the last year this
firm sent in one consignment a train
load of automatic looms to Japan, in
which country men, women and chill
dren work for q, l6 and 8 cents, re-
spectively, per day on these Ameri->
looms, sending their prod
ucts back to US at prices against
which the American manufacturers
cannot compete under a democratic
tariff system. These are facts which
easily may be verified"
