COVE EMINENT IN
MEXICO IS SAID
To BE OUTLAWRY
Carranza's Soldiers Called A
Band of Outlaws
ENEMIES OF AMERICA
Witness Before Investigating Commit
tee Says His Opinions Are Based
Upon First Hand Study

Washington, July 28.-Carranza's
rule of Mexico is mot government,
but band of outlaws, both technical
ly and practically" and today it is
utterly impossible, an enemy of its
own people first and America Sec
ond," William Gates of Baltimore, an
archaelogist, told the House rules
committee today in its hearing on the
Gould resolution proposing a con-
gressional inquiry into Mexican af-
fairs.
Although asserting that President
Wilson was misled in making his deci
sion to recognize Carranza, believing
the Mexican to be peoples cham
pion." Gates declared in favor OF
leaving the solution of the Mexican
problem with the President. The
President, he said, had not been fully
informed of conditions in the south
ern republic.
Gates said his opinions were based
on first hand study of Mexican con-
Gi.ions for about year beginning in
July, 1917, during which time he Wis
tied parts of the country usually not
seen by a traveller, including the
STATES VI luCdtdH, vera C1uh, TueDIO,
years, he explained, he had been
building up library of Mexican an
tiquities and literature and his trip
was to obtain more material and to
find out what was going on behind
the veil of our censorship and the
Carranza censorship"
Caranza's control includes the
main ports and the railroads with ad-
joining territory for a mile on either
side the transportation lines. Gates
asserted This control, he said, was
that of body of soldiers who are
ready to shoot at moments notice
in country where nobody else has
any guns"

TERRIFIC STORM

Hazelhurst Field Scene of In
tense Outburst
FORTY BUILDINGS DOWN
Martin Bomber Destroyed When
Lightning HIS Its Hangar
Wind Creates Havoc

Mineola, N. Y, July 2S.-Three
machine in which Captain Roy N
Francis planned to leave next Friday
on a trans-continental flight, were
wrecked by terrific electric storm
which, sweeping over Long Island
this afternoon, struck a steel hangar
at Hazelhurst Field and hurled frag
ments of steel for a distance of half
mile.
Sweeping along the northwest and
passing over the spot where the Brit
ish dirigible R-34 was moored while
in this country, the storm wrecked
virtually everything in its path.
Forty temporary wooden buildings
and 300 tents at Mitchell Aviation
field were blown fiat. The stable of
the Meadowbrook Hunt Club and two
semi-permanent officers barracks
near there were leveled and general
ing fields near here, but in Garden
City and Jamaica.
The storm, which developed into al
most tornado, as intense as it was
brief, struck a seven-ton Handley.
Paige bombing plane, one of the ma.
chimes which was wrecked, while 20
men were trying to hold it down. 1t
was blown half mile across Halle
hurst Field and literally reduced to
spilnters. At Mitchell Field 10000
gallon gasoline drum was rolled for
a distance of a mile. At Roosevelt
Field the roofs were blown off two
frame hangers.
Only two men were in the steel
hangar at Haztlhurst Field when it
was struck by bolt of lighting, the
other mechanics having been called
on the field to hold down about doz-
en- airplanes where were on the line,
preparing to take the air before the
storm arrived. The pair, trapped in
the hangar crouched down between
two of the machines stored there and
thus found shelter when the roof
fell. Both miraculously escaped in
jury.
In this hangar was the Martin
bomber commanded by Captain Fran
els; Caproni triplane and two De
Havilands. The Martin and Caproni
were virtually demolished but the
smaller planes stored in the other
end of the structure, escaped with
slight injury
The storm broke out of clear sky
with less than five minutes warning.
AS lightning began to flash and wind
whistled over the flying fields, SOL
diers and mechanics were rushed in
every direction to stand by the planes
quartered at the various aviation cen
ters, near here. On orders from head
quarters electric trunk wires were
cut Immediately to reduce the fire
menace.
