OUTLAWS IN MEXICO
FREE NEVADA CITIZEN
State Department Protest Re-
suits in Release of Man
Kidnapped July 1e
STURGISS NOT YET AVENGED
BY the Associated Press

washington, Aug. 4.-Advices to the
State Department today from Mexico
City, based on publication in Mexican
newspapers, said Lawrence l.. Shipley.
OF Yerrington, Nevada, who was Kid
mapped by bandits near Fresnillo sta
ton, Mexico. July 10, had been released.
There was no indication whether ran
som had been paid.
Urgent representations in this case
were made to the Mexican Government
by the State Department Immediately
after Shipley was captured.
Other dispatches from the American
embassy at Mexico City today said El
Heraldo had published an editorial Sat
urday urging that Mexico develop "a
wise policy of friendship for the United
States"
Inquiry at the State Department to-
day developed that representations were
made to the Mexican Government after
DIR. Charles T. Sturgiss of Washington,
his wife and the latter's mother, Mrs.
w. II. Keenright. had been taken pris-
oners nearly year agO by General
Rafael Cally Mayor, a friend of the
rebel leader Zapata. The Mexican au-
thorities promised to investigate. but so
far as is known here none of the ban
dts has been punished.
First information concerning this case
was made public here last night by the
Association for the Protection of Amer
lean Rights in Mexico. which announced
that DR.. and Mrs. Sturgiss, who now
are en- route from Mexico to st. Louis.
would be invited to testify before the
House committee investigating relations
between the United States and Mexico.
Mrs. Kecnright died while prisoner
and Doctor Sturgiss and his wife were
not released until last February. The
dentist was partially paralyzed owing
to privations while in the hands of the
Mexicans. He and his wife returned to
their home. Later. on instructions from
the State Department, the American
consul at Salina Cruz furnished them
funds with which to return to the
United States.

American affairs, in letter addressed
TO Major General Lejune, paid high
tribute to the men of the Second Divi-
sion shortly before they sailed from
Brest. The letter follows:
my Dear Gcncral--Your splendid
division leaves imperishable memories Of
heroism and sacrifice.
ut was one of the first of the
American divisions to cross the seas
and, in March. 1918, your troops, side
by side with their French comrades,
mounted guard on the heights of the
Meuse. When the time for action ar
rived the Second Division, in one stroke,
proved itself to be a corps d'elite. The
name of the Bois de Belleau will be
recorded in the annals of France as well
as in those of the United States as the
symbol Of audacity. courage and loyal
brotherhood in arms.
II express to you the everlasting
gratitude of France"

Company. called in rebuttal. Both tcs
titled early in the hearing and the Qucs
tioning today was brief.
The first new witness appeared in the
person of Maurice Foreman, garage
man, who testified to conversation
between one Lieutenant Lefcvro, Of the
Michigan National Guard, and Gerald
Buckley, a Ford lawyer. Lefcvre, it
appeared. told Buckley that in June.
1916, he heard an officer of the guard
announce that tho Ford company would
hold open jobs for employees who went
with the guard to Texas. The lieu
tenant said that it was impossible for
him to come to Mount Clemens as a
witness.
Charles II. Bassctt. auditor of the
Detroit Free Press. took the stand with
reference to the testimony of John
Dunnewind. who, as Il Free Press re-
porter in 1916, said he talked over the
long distance telephone with +. l..
Klingensmith, vice president of the Ford
Motor Company. Dunnewind said that
at this time Mr.. Klingcnsmith told him
the company would not hold open the
positions of guardsmcn.
Mr.. Bassett carried with him pile
of telephone memoranda, but, he tcs-
titled, mono showed the Dunncwind-

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. Oscar
Lawler, former assistant United States
attorney general, who was seriously
burned yesterday in fire, following a
bomb explosion which wrecked his
home, has "a chance of recovery" ac.
cording to his physicians early today.
The doctors seemed certain of the
recovery of Mrs. Lawler, who also was
badly burned.
The explosion was said by the police
to have been the result of desire for
revenge by a group of dynamiters whom
he prosecuted some years ago in the
Middle West.
A reward of $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction of perpetrators of the bomb
outrage has been offered by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association.

by the Associated Press

Chicago. Aug. 4.-Aftcr the calmcst
night in the black belt" for moro than
week. the work was begun today of
selecting a grand jury before which will
come the cases of white men and negroes
who are accused of participation in the
race riots which caused death of twenty
negroes and thirteen whites, and the
injury Of hundreds.
The coroner has fixed the number of
dead at thirty three and the city health
commissioner has found that BOG people
injured in the riots were treated in hos
pitals. He expressed the opinion, how
ever. that perhaps 400 or more who
were injured in the riots never reported
Mt hospitals.
The state troops had little to do dur
ing the night in the riot zone. but much
excitement was caused early today by
persistent reports tclcphoned into head e
quarters of the Second Regiment that a
crowd of 800 men was gathering at
South Ashland avenue and West Fifty
ninth street. When company of troops
reached the scene the crowd had van =
ishcd and the soldiers returned TO head =
quarters.

"A large number of lives have been
taken, a great deal of property has been

being prevented from going about their

law, regardless of his color, should be
promptly indicted, and promise on be-

promptly placed on trial.

Governor Frank o. Lowden said to
day:

It be remembered that it is only because
of the presence of the troops. The con-
ditions which produced the race riots
must be removed. The state is working
and has been working for some time
upon plan which it is hoped will
bring about better understanding be-
tween the two races.
so far it has been difficult to get
the public to realize the necessity of
this, and but little progress has been
made. Now. however, with the mem

BUT GETS IN WRONG
American Aviation Captains Feats
Being Investigated by Navy Dept.

London, Feb. 5.--For some time
there has been talk of an investiga-
ton surrounding the case of Captain
Edmund G. Cham berlain of San An
tonic, Tex, an officer of the United
States marine corps, who was report
ed last summer as having while on
furlough, joined a British aviation
squadron on the battle front and
achieved notable victory in the air
over the Germans and when forced
to land by reason of a damaged ma
chine, made his exploit more brilliant
by taking a German prisoner and
carrying back to the British lines
wounded Frenchman, notwithstand-
ing the heavy fire of the enemy di-
rected against him.
Today the headquarters of the
United States navy here gave the AS
ISOLATED Press the following state
ment on the case:
"Some time ago a report was re-
ceived that Captain Cham berlain had
rendered conspicuous service in
France. Later there arose certain
questions as to the authenticity of the
circumstances, as reported.
Investigation Under Way.
For the benefit of Captain Cham
berain, as we'll as for the good of the
naval service, it was decided that
full and complete investigation should
be made of all the circumstances in
the case. This investigation now is in
progress, with the object of clearing
up all doubt.
"Captain Cham berlain is in France
assisting in the investigation. He is
not under any sort Of restraint"
