SHOT IN MEXICO
One More Outrage Added to the Long
List That Has Been Suffered by the
United States--May Be almost
the Last Straw"

Washington, Nov. 2S--James Wal
lace, American citizen was shot and
killed by Carranzista soldiers near
Tampico last Wednesday
The state department today was adj
vised of the killing and Immediately
ordered a thorough investigation.
Details of this latest outrage we're
lacking but administration officials
did not hesitate to characterize it as
almost the last straw" in the chain
OF "aggravating" incidents which has
occupied the attention of the state de-
partment for several months
The Wallace referred to is believed
here to be e. T. Wallace, of the Gulf
Refining company, about 40 years old,
and one of the company's best men.
He had operated for the company at
Colombia, as we'll as Mexico, and went
recently to Tampico.
Governments Statement.

by the state department:
James Wallace, an American en-
ploye of an American oil company,
near Tampico, was murdered by a
Mexican federal soldier at Potrero
del Llano on Wednesday, November
26. The murderer was not taken into
custody.
According to the departments adj
vices. the officer in charge of troops
camped in the vicinity, claimed that
Wallace provoked the murder. The de-
partment has been informed, as a re-
suit of an investigation, that mule on
which Wallace, was riding to the place
of his employment, SHE'D at a machine
gun 1t was passing, overturning
the gun. The soldier Immediately shot
Wallace. the bullet striking him in
the neck and killing him instantly"
Eighth Man Killed
If the Identification of Wallace is
correct, he is the eighth official of
the Gulf Refining company TO be kill
ed in Mexico and the eighth Ameri-
can to be killed since July %, 1919.
when the state department warned
