HELDUP INMEXICO.
King Pelaez Pulls Down.
$4,000 for Protec-
ton of Wells
BY CHESTER M. WRIGHT.
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. liking
Pelaez must be merry old soul, if
money helps to generate happiness in
the breast of a bandit chief, for
king" Pelaez collects about $780,
900 each month from American oil
companies in the Tampico oil dis
tricts of Mexico. There are two ways
of stating this proposition.
One way is to say that American
oil interests in Mexico are financing
a constant rebellion against the Mex
lean government by maintaining, in
the field, an armed force of rebels
Supports Armed Force.
The other way is to say that the
oil companies are held up for a stip-
ulated amount each month and that
they have to pay because Carranza
doesn't put down the rebel band.
The fact remains that Americans
are paying a fixed amount each
month to Palaez and that the money
goes to support the armed force that
Pelaez keeps in the field. Palace is
a rebel, bandit.
Il is clear that a rebel chief who
gets $4,000 a month in cash can
keep a much more effective force in
the field than rebel chief who gets
nothing.
However. the oil men say that if
they don't pay, Pelaez will destroy
their wells. They also say that the
State Department knows that these
payments are being made.
Pelaez Stands Well.
One of the peculiar features of this
situation is that there seems to be
little resentment against Pelaez,
while resentment against Carranza
has boiled up ever since Carranza got
on the job. Pelaez has been much
talked about by witnesses before the
Fall committee and, mostly he seems
to be looked upon as one who is not
a bad sort at all.
This heavy payment to bandit
leader makes it greatest impression
on Observation-Disclosures, with whom
| have talked, because of the con-
slant fire of condemnation which oil
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-02-12

interests have directed at Carranza.
1t is pointed out that the oil inter
ests have roasted Carranza constant
ly on one hand and subsidized rebel
army on the other.
British Clean Up.
1t is curious that while the Ameri-
can oil interest maintained their OPP
position to the oil provisions of the
MeXicon constitution the British in
terests complied fully and kept on
drilling, greatly to their profit and
to American loss.
The Mexican Eagle Oil Co., a
of the PEARSON and the
Old Royal Dutch Shell interests,
which complied with the Carranza
government conditions, has Just an
nounced earnings for the year end
ing June 80. as $29,O00,O0O net. The
surplus, after paying dividends, is
announced as being $3,443,282. The
figures are in Mexican dollars.

Bonnet Strings.
At the Ritz the other afternoon l
counted no less than nine hats with
bonnet strings, or chin straps, which
are in the same class, and they are
strongly featured in the current
plays.
Vivienne "Segal in "The Little
Whopper," wears one having dou-
BILE brim of pecan straw and a
mound-shaped crown of blanco lace.
The lace is wired to form melon
shaped sections, and the brim turns
up on one side and down on the other,
and then comes a lace streamer that
starts and ends at the center-back.
In Scandal is another hat that
emphatically points the coming vogue.
1t shows the elongated sides and
broad back with the abrupt turn-up
in front, and is worn by Ann Win
ston. 1t is fashioned of fine erin and
its sole bit of trimming is a circular
ornament of plated ribbon.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-American
women are coming to the realization
that stage fashions not only are
adaptable, but are in the majority of
cases true indications of the trend in
styles. They are watching the stage
costumes for ideas to adopt to their
own needs.
Evening Home Gown.
1t is always a pleasure to come
upon gown exactly right for an at
home dinner when there are guests,
and this one which Margaret Law
renee wears in Wedding Bells" is
a charming example. 1t is so simple
and so suitable to almost any color
of crepe de chine or other soft silk
that it instantly suggests possibili-
ties for the home dressmaker.
The costume is of crepe de chine
in an orchid shade and consists simply
of little round kimono waist fas-
tened in back, cut to a V in front
and back, skirt gathered evenly all
round and then trimmed, as the il
lustration clearly shows, with crystal
beads in loop fringe, row after row,
