Washington.-Alth about fifty
American citizens have been killed or
outraged in Mexico since 1917, not a
single arrest or conviction is known
TO have resulted, Henry Z. Fletcher
United States ambassador to Mexico,
told the House rules committee In a
hearing on the Gould resolution pro-
posing appointment of a congressional
committee to investigate relations be-
tween the two countries.
The ambassador also laid before the
committee report compiled by the
State Department in response To n
SENATE resolution showing tnat since
the close of the Diaz regime about $50
attacks of a serious nature have been
made on American citizens in Mexico.
Relations between the two coun-
tries, however, Mr.. Fletcher said, have
improved during the last three years.
He added that there was a wonder
full submission" to the Carranza rule
in the sections which the government
controls.
Although declining to express an
opinion as to the policy, either past
or future, of this country towards
Mexico, the ambassador in effect op-
| posed suggestions advanced by mem
bers of the committee looking to with
drawal by the United States of recog-
milton of the Carranza government
| Such step, he said, would only in
crease the existing unfriendly feeling
of Mexicans towards Americans, and
would not. unless accompanied by
other action in the way of assistance,
bring about the establishment of a
more stable government in Mexico, but
would add to the difficulties of that
country.
| AT present, Mr.. Fletcher said, there
| were no revolutionary leaders in Mex
leo with sufficient following to over
throw the existing government and set
| up stable one.
"Would the permission of this gov
ernment to all MIexicans to secure
arms and ammunition furnish these
anti-Carranza leaders aid?" asked
Chairman Campbell
THAT would have the effect of in
creaslng the turmoil in Mexico re-
piled the ambassador.

3 In connection with the efforts to re.
store the birthplace of Theodore Roose-
welt, at % East Twentieth street, New
York, 1t Is recalled that an attempt
was made several years ago to acquire
the old house in which President
James Monroe died. The project never
got beyond the placing in 1906 of a
memorial tablet on the house.
The old house, one of the archaic
structures in the city, and much the
worse through years of neglect, is on
the northwest corner of Lafayette, and
Prince streets. For years the lower
portion was used as junk shop. It
still presents the characteristics of the
well-to.do residence during the early
part of the last century three stories
high, with dorrner windows prottuding
from the attic. The house was built
by Samuel L. Gouverneur, who mar
ried one of Monroe's daughters.
