CHARGE YANKS
ARE .INCITING
MEX BANDITRY
Ne1D York Men Are
Blamed for Trouble
in Oil Region.

Washington, July 4.-President
Obregon of Mexico not only has
satisfied the American government
by his prompt action in the Tampico
region, but by sending troops to dis
perse the bandits there has cleaned
out the district which has given
him most Of his own troubles.
A high official at the state depart
ment commented today with evident
satisfaction upon this phase of the
Mexican developments. 1t was
clear from late dispatches that
both rebel generals" Gorosabe and
Larraga, have been routed by fed
eral troops.
Reports Magnified.
Sufficient prisoners have been
taken to assure the Mexican gov
ernment Of such additional evidence
as it may require to prove that re-
cent disturbances in Mexico were
engineered by Americans in the f.
nancial district of New York, who
have used disIoyal and disaffected
Mexicans Of the bandit type to
create minor difficulties, reports of
which have been magnified in the
United States.
1t has been definitely established
that there was but one kidnapping
during all the disturbances, which
resulted mainly in the killing and
capturing of bandits. The one
kidnapping" that of A. Bruce Bic
laski, oil promoter, was completely
Investigated by the Mexican gov
ernment following charges that the
affair tn which he figured was engi-
neered by American oil interests.
There was a dispatch today from
Consul Shaw at Tampico that the
Mexican wife of an American en-
ploye Of an oil company at Chocoy
had been killed by bandits when she
recognized the leader Of the ma
rauders, who had demanded $1,000.
Secretary of State Hughes wired
Consul Shaw and Charge d'Affaires
Summerlin to make the formal rep
reservations to the Mexican govern
ment suitable in such a case, asking
that it apprehend and punish the
murderers.
The Mexican government has as
spred the United States, by its ac-
tions as we'll as formal assurances
that it is handling the situation
promptly and effectively.
United States Senator Bursum Of
New Mexico today gave 1t as his
opinion that the appointment BY the
two governments of joint commits
sion to clear up matters between
| the United States and Mexico would
hasten diplomatic recognition.

Bristol, Tenn, July 4.-The war
against the moonshiners of the
mountain country, extending from
the Cumberlands Of Kentucky to
the Smokes of North Carolina, to-
day entered the third, or "mopping-
up" phase, with the advantage en-
tirely on the side OF the prohibition
enforcement officers. 1t is a quiet
but very serious little war. Little
is heard Of it outside of the imme-
diate localities where it is in pro-
gress. But II it results in complete
victory for the authorities, as now
seems probable, the white mule"
industry of this section will have
been hit serious, if not a fatal
blow. And although quiet, so far
as outward demonstrations are con-
cerned, there has been a deadly fe-
rocity about the fighting that
could be found only among men of
the sturdy fearless character of
those on both Sides. The noun
taineer has used his guns, pistols
and knives freely to maintain what
he considers his absolute right to
dispose of the product of his corn
fields as he thinks best, while the
trained officers of the .law-sher-
IFS and deputies-have backed up
the imported prohibition officers in
a manner that has brought from
the latter the greatest of praise for
their efficiency.
Squirrel Rifles Gone.
There has been a great difference
from the old method of moonshine
hunting. The long-barreled sQuir-
rel rifles have been abandoned. In
their place high-powered repeating
rifles-in many cases some origin
ally designed to arm the American
soldiers in France-have been used
Automatic pistols are substituted
