u. S. Oil Workers
In Mexico Dared
Death to Aid War
Senators Told That Reports
of Conditions We're Cen
sored So Allies Might Get
Fuel; Outrages Numerous


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-Only the
patriotic devotion and the bravery Of
Americans who risked their lives in
Mexico kept up the supply of oil which
was vital to the success of the United
States in the war, Ira Jewell Williams.
of Philadelphia, to-day told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, investi-
eating the Mexican situation. He de-
clared that the American oil workers
stayed in Mexico and faced death in
order to aid in winning the war. Mr..
Williams is connected with the Boston
Panuco Oil Company, which has large
operations in the Tampico oil fields
"The real truth about Mexico was
not told while we were at war" said
MIR. Williams, because the American
press periodically agreed not to print
anything which would cause ll-feeling
or which might embarrass our govern
ment in the conduct of the war. I
nave seen no miss tatement of the facts
as to conditions in the oil fields which
could be charged to the oil companies.
During the war conditions became
so bad that it seemed almost impos-
sible to keep the men in the oil fields.
Employees were constantly exposed to
Al oSl "u outidge. ney we're I'M
armed. The Carranza government
would not permit them to protect
themselves. The men who were killed
did not have sporting chance
IF it were not for the bravery and
patriotism of the Americans in Mexico
the supply of oil from the Mexican
fields which was so essential to the
successful conduct of the war by the
Allied nations and the United States
would have been cut off.
Eleven Americans have been killed
in the oil fields within the last year
About five hundred have been muir
dered during the last nine years. |
have never known of single anthem
tic report of the murder of a German
in Mexico"
Mr.. Williams recounted the diff
culties confronting his company in it's
efforts to maintain the operation of
its wells in Mexico. He said that
under the oil DEGREES of Carranza his
company had been refused permission
to drill for oil on lands which it held
in the Tampico region. Mexican inter
ests, he said, had taken possession
of part of the land and were pro-
ceedinC to drill for oil
THE operation of the Carranza
government under these oil DEGREES"
Mr.. Williams said, ARE nothing more
nor less than confiscation."
Mr. Williams said that Carranza
soldiers had gone upon the property
of his company and had halted work
of the company's employees.

WAR PROHIBITION
CONSTITUTIONAL


Federal government. Thereafter,
until the end of the war and the
termination of mobilization it per-
mits an unrestricted sale for export,
and, within the United states, sales
for other than beverage purposes.
The uncompensated restriction upon
the disposition of liquors imposed by.
this oct is of Il nature far less Sc
we're than the restrictions on the
use of property acquired before the
enactment of the prohibitory. which
were held to be permissible in cases
arising under the fourteenth amend
ment. The question whether an alb
solute prohibition of sale could be
applied by state to liquor acquired
before the enactment OF the prohibi-
tory law has been raised by this
court, but not answered, because
unnecessary to a decision.
But no reason appears why a
state statute, which postpones its ef-
fective date long enough to enable
those engaged in the business to dis
pose of stocks on hand at the date
of its enactment, should be obnoX-
ious to the Fourteenth Amendment,
or why such "a Federal law should
be obnoxious to the Fifth amend
ment We cannot say that seven
reasonable time within which to dis
pose of all liquors in bonded ware
houses on November 81, 1918. The
amount then IN storage was materi-
ally less than was usually carried,
because no such liquor could be
lawfully made in America under the
Lever food and fuel control act aft
er September 2, 1917. And, if, as
is suggested, the liquors remaining
in bond November 21, 1918. were not
yet sufficiently ripened or aged to
permit them to be advantageously
disposed of within the limited period
of seven months and Eine days
thereafter, the resulting incorveni-
ence to the owner, attributable to
the inherent qualities of the prop
erty itself, cannot be regarded as a
| taking of property in the constitu-
| tional sense.

u. S. TAKES UP
HUGO KIDNAPPING
CONTINUED from First Pagc.l

CONTINUED from First Page
the Villistas carried off another
American named Phillips.
Eagle Pass. Texas, Dec. 15.-Steps
will be taken for the immediate re-
lease of Fred G.. Hugo, the American
held by Francisco Villa for $4,000
ransom. according to j. NJ. Dobie,
owner of the ranch in the Mexican
state of Coahula, of which Hugo
was manager. Mr.. Dobie, who arriv-
ed here from San Antonio. Texas, de-
clined to say what action he con-
templated.
Details OF Hugo's capture by Viii
listas and his whereabouts still were
unknown here early to-day. A re-
port said Francisco Pardo, Spain
ard was held with several lSeXicans
for ransom, has been released by
Villa. He was the second man re-
leased by the rebel chief, an Eng
lishman, r. b. Dawson, having been
released Saturday.
Unofficial reports reaching the
border, indicated that the American
with several Mexican hostages prob
ably was being detained in Elpino
mountains, about 100 miles from
Muzquiz. Whether federal troops
had taken up the pursuit of the
Nillistas could not be learned.
May BE Held in Mountains
Although previous reports said
Villa and several hundred followers
who occupied Muzquiz last Tuesday,
had been ousted from the town Fri
day and had fled in the direction of
the state of Chihuahua. apparently
reliable information indicated that
the rebels did not leave MuZquiZ un-
til Saturday. 1t was stated that
they headed in the direction of Ell
pino mountains, leaving word that
the money for Hugo's release was
to be left at Pine Solo, in the Elpino
mountains.
Villa did not molest the poorer
persons in MuzquiZ, confining his
looting to the weather. residents
and the principal stores. He car
ried off a large supply of blankets,
several automobiles, horses and
wagons and great quantities of
food. it was said. Shortage of food
and clothing among his forces is be-
lieVed here to have been the prin-
ciple cause of the raid on Muzquiz.
