American Refused
To Surrender Gold
By RALrH H. TURNER

United Press Staff Correspondent. /,
MEXICO CITY, May 20. (By
Mail. Among the heroes of Mex.
ico's latest revolution record the
name of Bruno Newman, an Ameri-
can importer and exporter, who has
made Mexico his home for the past
twenty years.
Newman, in his claim to fame, is
indebted to the avoricious designs of
Senior Venustiano Carranza and the
men who composed his government.
When Carranza decided upon his fa-
tai flight toword vera Cruz he rea-
soned, evidently, that inasmuch as he
was moving his government he should
also move all the loose change that
was lying about the capital.
One of the first sources of funds
he recalled was a million or so pesos
in gold which had been deposited in
trust to guarantee the issue of pa
per money. The Chambers of Com
merce of Mexico had backed this is
sue on the condition that one peso of
gold should be deposited for every
peso of paper that was printed; and
the gold was to be kept in strong
box under the supervision Of COM
mittee which the Chambers appointed
Newman, as a member of the execu-
tive committee Of the American
Chamber of commerce, was appointed
to the committee.
Newman was also one of two men,
each of whom possessed half of the
combination that opened the safe con-
tanning the gold
Early on the evening Of Carranza's
fight, an agent from the Department
of the Treasury notified the commit
tee that it should turn over the funds
to the government authorities; he ex-
planned that the government in
moving to Vera Cruz, was taking all
government archives and funds and
that the money representing the pa
per issue also should be carried along

bate followed The committee de-
INJURED, but it was growing late and
the government agent became insist
ent. By this time several other Of
ficials had arrived to afford moral
support, or any other kind that might
be needed The situation was deli
cate. The Mexican member of the
committee who possessed one half the
combination to the safe weakened
and produced the mystic code. 1t was
up to Newman to produce his half.
"All right" said Newman, appar-
emily surrendering, an get you the
combination. It's in my desk"
Newman moved to a rear office.
The government officials, in jubi-
land mood, awaited his return, En-
tering his office and closing his door.
Newman first seized the books con-
tanning the records of the Monetary
Commission, the official name of the
committee which had backed the pa

Prices Rose With
Mexican Revolt
By RALPH II. TURNER

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
MEXICO CITY, May 20 (By Mail.
Though the recent Mexican revo,
luton was remarkable for its alb.
sence Of serious bloodshed, it had one
feature in common with previou,
revolutions---it caused tremendous
hike in prices.
Every Mexican revolution has been
accompanied by certain common
characteristics. Scores Of farming
people, beeomoing frightened, hur-
ry into the cities. The capital at
tracts the largest number. The re-
suit Is double-edged- production of
food products wanes and the demand
in the cities begins to increase. ST.
simultaneously, spectators get busy on
all sides.
The overthrow Of Carranza and the
circumstances leading to that event
were. no exception to the rule. AS
residents Of the capital began to stock
up with provisions, fearing siege,
prices mounted apace.
In one month the price Of char
coal, indispensable in native kitchens,
rose from seven centavos a kilo (2
1-5 lbs.) to Ia centavos. The same
period witnessed the following in
creases in stable commodities: pota-
toes, from % to 60 centavos q kilo;
sugar, 70 centavos to one peso; beans,
25 centavos to 36 centavos; corn,
II centavos to Is centavos; tomatoes,
/ s centavos to 10 centavos. All these
prices are by the kilo. A centavos is
half a cent in American currency.
The increase in vegetable prices was
general, the price of caulihower
Jumping from Is to so centavos a
head.
Corresponding increases occurred
IN meat prices. "Filete," the best
cut of steak sold in Mexico, arose in
price from one peso, eighty centavos
to tw opesos, fifty per kilo. Spring
chickens thst formerly sold for seval-
ty-fye ccntavcs doubled in price
+ rms that had sold fol- one peso,
twenty-five centavos are now selling
for three pesos.
So marked was the increase IN
price of native Mexican products
that it was almost us cheap to buy
imported American canned goods,
which remained more nearly station
airy in price.
Today it is believed the peak of
high food costs has been reached,
Not only is production expected to
increase, but the revolutionaries de-
clare they intend putting curb on
the spectators and at the same time
may remove, or decrease, some of the
duties on imported products.
