MEXICO WANTS
FOREIGN CAPITAL
Americans Need Not Sur
render Citizenship to
Hold Stock.

Modesto c. ROLAND, Of the Mexican
consular Office and member Of the
commission for mediation in Mexico
during the recent trouble, says that
Americans will not be compelled 70
surrender their citizenship in order TO
hold stock in Mexican corporations.
Reports from Washington Monday
stated that General Carranza had is
sued a decree requiring foreigners in
Mexico TO surrender their stock or
give up their present citizenship.
These reports were contradlcted yes
terday by Mr.. ROLAND. who says that
so long as foreign corporations obey
the laws of Mexico there is little Ike
lihood Of trouble.
Foreign Capital Welcome.
Eve welcome foreign capital" said
Mr.. ROLAND, land it is not likely that
it is to be kept out. But the govern
ment will insist that the laws Of our
country be obeyed, and that informa-
ton needed by the government be fur
nished. The reports say that foreign
ers must surrender their stocks. 10
whom? The government cannot make
one man give mis- stocks to another
He explained that in certain in
stu ces American corporations had re-
fused information to the government,
and in some cases had broken the laws
of the country, hiding behind foreign
citizenship which would demand pro-
lection from other governments.
According TO Mr. ROLAND, when Gen
eral Carranza appointed a commission
to investigate and study the oil bust
ness, some foreign corporations put
all sorts of obstacles in the way of a
commission.
Americans will not have TO give up
their citizenship TO conform to the
laws Of the country" said Mr. Roll
land, "and that is all that is neces-
sary.
Companies Must Obey.
"If foreign companies will not work
according TO the regulations of our
country, but defy the law and ask for
protection from their governments, it
is possible that their property would
be confscated."
In Wall Street yesterday 1t was said
that the banks had not been informed
of such action on the part of the MeXi-
can government, and ii was pointed
out that stocks in Mexican companies
had not dropped.
A statement from the Offices of the
Mexican Petroleum Company yester-
day indicated that no decree of Cen
eral Carranza up to date would af-
| feet American companies in Mexico.

ranger staIked in dragging Snecker,
the fellow who hid here in the house.
He had arrested Snecker for alleged
assault on q observation-disclosures named
Laramie. Snecker being obviously In
nocent, he was discharged. Then this
ranger began shouting insults. Law
was farce in Fairdale. The court
was a farce. There was no law. Your
father was afraid Of the rustlers,
highwaymen, murderers. He was
afraid or-he just let them alone. He
used his office to cheat ranchers and
cattlemen in lawsuits. All this the
ranger yelled for everyone to hear.
A damnable outrage. Your father,
Ray, insulted in his own court by a
rowdy ranger!"

mingled distress and anger.
"The ranger service vans to rule
western Texas" went on lawson.

This is one of the worst of the lot.
He's to be feared. He would kill. If
he would have shot him. He's

see your father fall dead at my feet T"
"Oh, Floyd! The unspeakable
ruffian!" cried Ray Longstreth, pas
sionately.
"What do you care for the insinua-
lions of such a MANI" said Ray Long
streth, her voice now deep and rich
with feeling. "After a moments
thought no one will be Influenced by
them. Do not worry, Floyd. Tell
papa not to worry. Surely after all
these years he can't be injured In
reputation by-by an adventurer."
Eyes, he can be injured" replied
Floyd, quickly. 'The frontier is
queer place. There are many bitter
men here-men who have failed at
ranching. And your father has been
wonderfully successful. The ranger
has dropped poison, and it IL spread"

When Duane arrived at the hall
where court was held there were
other men there, a dozen or more. ana
all seemed excited; evidently, news OF
Duane had preceded him. Longstreth
sat at a table on a platform. Near
him sat a thick-set griZZled man, with
deep eyes, and this was Hanford
Owens, county judge. To the right
stood a tall, angular. yellow-faced
fellow with a dropping sandy mus
tache. Conspicuous on his vest was
huge silver shield. This was
Gorsech, one of Longstreth's ,sherllfs.
There were four other men Whoh'
Duane knew by sight, several faces
were familiar, and half a dozen
strangers, all dusty horsemen.
Longstreth pounded hard on the
table to be heard. Mayor or not, he
was unable at once to quell the ex-
element. Gradually, however, it sub
sided, and from the last few utter
ances before quiet was restored
Duane gathered that he had intruded
upon some kind of a meeting in the
hall.
"What ID you break in here for"
demanded Longstreth.

YOU"
That passionate reply Of Long
streth's was the signal Duane had
been waiting for. He had helped on
the crisis. He wanted to force Long
streth's hand and show the town his
stand.
Duane backed clear of everybody.
Men! l call on you all !" cried
Duane, piercingly. 81 call on you to
witness the arrest of criminal pre-
rented by LOngstreth, mayor of Fair
dale. 1t will be recorded in the re-
port to the Acknowledgement at
Austin. Longstreth, you'll never pre-
vent another arrest"
Longstreth sat white with working
jaw.
''Longstreth," said Duane, in a voice
heard. ANY honest citizen of Fair
dale can now see what's plain. In
the two years you've been mayor
you've never arrested one rustler.
Strange, when Fairdale's nest for
rustlers! You've never sent a prison
er to Del RiO let alone to Austin.
You have no Jail. There have been
nine murders during your office
innumerable street-fghts and hOld-ups.
Not one arrest There have been law
suits in your cOurt-suits over water
rights, cattle deals, property lines.
Strange how in these lawsuits you or
Lawson or other men close to you
were always involved! Strange how
it seems the. law was stretched to
favor your interest!'
Duane paused in his cold, ringing
speech. In the silence, both outside
and inside the hall, could be heard
the deep breathing of agitated men.
Longstreth was indeed study. Yet
did he betray anything but rage at
this interloper.
''Longstreth, here's plain talk for
you and Fairdale," went on Duane.
II don't accuse you and your court OF
dishonesty. I say strange! Law here
has been a farce. The. motive behind
all this laxity isn't plain to me-yet.

MAY MAKE "KAPOK" OF VALUE
Fiber That Is Abundant In Haiti HAS
Been Mentioned as Substi-
tute for Wool.

There are two varieties of kapok
fibers to be found in Haiti, both prod
ucts of trees of the Eriodendron fam
lily and both of good quality. The
local names for the fiber vary ac-
cording to locality; "marodem," cot
ton mapou" and cotton noir" are
those most commonly used.
Kapok is fairly abundant all over
Haiti, but no commercial use has been
made of it. The natives sometimes
stuff pillows with it, and occasionally
mattresses, but this is about the eX-
tent of it's utilization. Indeed, all
over the West Indies it is little used
and has no fixed market value, except
in Cuba, where it is q well-dehneu
article of local trade, and where con-
siderable quantities are brought from
the Dominican Republic.
There has been noted of late some
interest in the substance In the Unlteo
States, and it is being advertised IN
der fancy trade names as new ais
covery for life preservers. cushions on
steamers, pillows and the like. AS
filling for mattresses 1t is an Ideal
substance, exceedingly light, aDso-
lutely sanitary and possessing such
residence that even after long use 1t
does not lump or pack. AS quilting
material for comforters and other bed
coverings it equals wool in warmth
and excels cotton in softness and light
ness. For dressing gowns, smoking
iackets and other padded garments
il has much to recommend 1t. For
upholstery It is superior to most ma
terials now In use.
Kapok is used in England to some
extent in the manufacture of hats, and
certain of the longer varieties are
mixed with cotton to impart a silky
ulster to fabrics. The regular kapok,
however, has too short a fiber to spin.
It is extremely infammable, and this
is its chief drawback. If the fiber
could be so treated with chemicals as
TO eliminate this dangerous quality
it would be very much more valu-
able,
