related by one OF its victims to the
House Rules Committee to-day in the
preliminary investigation of Mexican
conditions.
Mrs. John w. Correll, Sc years old,
who was assaulted by the bandits at
the CoHell ranch about thirty-four miles
from Tampico, was the witness. Her
husband was killed by the Mexican
raiders, who numbered about fifty, as
he tried to protect her. Her son mar
rowly escaped death. a bullet from the
bandits penetrating his coat collar as he
lodged into some brush.
All were American citizens having
previously lived at Ada. Okla, and Mrs.
Correll, who is a Chlckasaw, was in
washington to urge the Government to
obtain reparation from the Carranza
Government for the crimes.
Mrs. Correll and her son testified that
Carranza offered them no assistance
after the crime and that so far as they
knew no effort was made to run down
the bandits. Her right arm trembles
constantly as result of a pistol blow
or the elbow by one OF the bandits.
Mrs. Correlrs son told the committee
he believed the leader OF the bandits
was German
The leader demanded that we give
him any firearms and cartridges we
had" the boy said, Saying they had
Government authority to collect them.
The band Immediately began shooting
at the ground and marched me through
the house to look for cartridges. They
then began to remove everything that
could be OF any value to them, including
clothing. bedding and kitchen utensils"
Did your father make any protest? %
asked Chairman Campbell.
'srTha 10 NJ I hot ~ g. a,tr
it they were going to take everything"
he replied. THE leader then said the
boss would be along shortly"
Soon afterward, the boy said, he
heard the scuffie in the house when the
father tried to protect his wife. He
then ran for the brush across the road
the Mexicans shooting at him as he ran
Mrs. Correll wasNleft unconscious and
without assistance until some Americans
arrived from a ranch few miles away.
She and her son then went toITampico
and reported the outrage to the Amerl-
can Consul
William B. Mitchell. manager of the
Bank of London and Mexico in Mexico
city, appeared before the committee
after the Correll story was related and
bitterly denounced the Carranza regime
and its attitude toward Americans. He
is a British subject.
"The Ambassador to Mexico, Henry
p. Fletcher, was Kissed as he drove
through the streets of Mexico city aIF
later by the Deputies as he was on his
way to attend the Inauguration of Car
ranza," he said. THE German Minis
ter. following Mr.. Fletcher. was loudly
applauded and there were many other
instances OF strong pro-German feeling
instigated by the Carranza Govern
ment."

clared yesterday before the House

of the sugar equalization board, ad-

the recent publication which appear

any other which has come to recog-
nize that concentration of authority
is necessary for proper direction and
responsibility The church has sim
ply selected chairman with board
of councillors, and these will have

years. No such powers are dedicated
to this group and no such homage
will be paid them as is paid to the

A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR
THE PEOPLE OF WILSON

The U. S. Health department is
cooperating with the state board of
health in a widespread, systematic,
educational campaign for the remov-
al of the cause and for the preven-
ton of venereal diseases throughout
the borders of our state. The gov
ernment is now calling upon us as
urgently as during wartime days to
lend our support and assistance as
well as our time to this great move
ment. The war has taught us the ne
cessity for this great work and it is
just as vital and necessary now that
we become familiar with the proper
methods of handling this problem as
it was during the war. For this pur-
pose the national department has
loaned the state board the services
of DR.. Galloway, the noted educator
and lecturer. He will be in Wilson
Friday and Saturday of this week,
and the people of Wilson may con-
slider themselves very fortunate in
securing this highly distinguished
| speaker.
DIR. Galloway is peculiarly fitted
| for this great work-a work that is
| so important at this time that the
leading forces of the state and ma
ton are to be given for it's promo
| tion during the next few months.
DR.. Galloway will speak to the Wom-
ans Club Friday afternoon, when il
meets in the rooms of the Common
wealth Club. 1t is urgently requested
that all members attend, for it is a
rare opportunity to hear great
| speaker upon one of the greatest oi
all subjects. Watch the columns OF
