AMERICANS KILLED
IN MEXICO
FATHER AND SON ARE KILLED
IN CARRANZA TERRITORY
CARRANZA RESPONSIBLE

Washington, May 3.-The murder Of
two more Americans in Mexico, re-
ported today to the State Department,
accentuated the concern with which
officials here are watching develop
ments beyond the border. There was
nothing, however, to indicate to what
extent the attitude of the Washington
Government toward the Sonora rev
olutionary movement might be at
fected by the fact that the incidents
occurred in Carranza controlled terri
tory.
Requests for additional warship pro-
lection at points on the east coast Of
Mexico already had been forwarded
to the navy by the State Department.
While this had no relation to the lat
est murders, it was said to indicate
the view of officials as to the unset
tied conditions prevailing in that re-
gion, nominally at least, still held by
Caranza forces.
On the border, loss Of Juarez, Of
ficials said, would be serious blow to
the federals, because of its revenue
producing capacity. They believed
complete rebel control of the State Of
Chihuahua would be the logical re-
suit. -
Carranza Accountable.
The murder of Eben Francis Green
law and his young son by Mexicans
near Ell Orc, only 125 miles from Mex
leo City, brought from the American
embassy in Mexico City prompt and
emphatic demand that the Mexican
Government arrest and punish the
murderers. The American govern
ment contends. that the Carranza au7
thorities were responsible for the pro-
lection of the Greenlaws, because Of
the presence of Mexican troops in the
immediate vicinity.
The date Of the sailing of the fleet
of destroyers to Mexican waters was
not made public, but the belief was.
expressed that they would be sent a.
once. -
Destroyers viii be stationed at Tam
pico, Tuxpan, Vera Cruz and Frontrd
ras, ready to take off any Americans,
who may be in danger either from the
Mexican federal authorities or the re-
bells. The State Department specif-
cally stated that these vessels we

TWO INCONVENIENCES

conveniences to which people are

The first is the low swung awnings
in front of many stores along the

ducked under by passer, or run his
face into the canvass.
The second is monopolization OF
all sea+s in the public park on Nor

would like to rest beneath the shade.
Unless a woman is accompanied by a
gentleman escort she has little chance
at a bench. The gentleman quoted

LOCAL SUIT

Upon good authority "The Oasis"
is informed that Mrs. Marie Wiki
enson's attorney, Leslie J. HARDY
ESQ.,, has filed dismissal of the suit
for libel filed some months ago on
behalf of the lady named against the
Los Angeles Times, fol libel; and 1t
is stated upon good authority also,
that the consideration for such dis.
missal of Mrs. Wilkensons suit was
payment to hes of the handsome sum
of ten thousand dollars.
At the time the suit was filed there
was running in various newspapers
throughout the United States series
OF articles by the notorious Doctor
.Altendorf, who had posed as an
American spy in Mexico througout
tie world war, and in that series of
articles Doctor Altendorf admitted
tl.at he had "played both ends
against the middle by posing to
Mexicans as German spy. Doctor
Aitendorf's articles were spread
broadcast among American news
papers by the Association for Pro-
lection of American rights In Mex
leo. In common with other news
papers "The Oasis received copies
CT these articles. This newspaper
attacked Doctor Altendorf's articles,
f1r the reason that with the thorough
knowledge of the states of Sonora
ed Sinaloa acquired by its editor
through long years of travel he
knew that some of the tales told
therein could not have been true; and
edjtrially we said so,, asserting that
Doctor Altendorf had annexed the

ic,n Rights in Mexico for his meal
ticket ''The Oasis" passed up all
Altent%fs articles except to criticfse
t en- and point out their glaring
crel.ancies. Many newspaper
printed them, including the Los

During the period that Doctor AL

spy in Mexico he visited Nogales
fl 1uently, and was in touch with
sCrle Of the American war organzia-
I'll rs, including the One Hundred Per

Among the articles was that where

produced in the Los Angeles Times
