MEXICANS WILL APPEAL
TO WASHINGTON WHEN
LIVES ARE THREATENED

San Antonio, Tex, November To-
Direct appeal to the United States
government will be made hereafter
when the lives and property OF
Mexican nationals are threatened.
Consul General Enriqued Ruiz said
today. This decision was made, MIR.
Ruiz said, after repeated attempts TO
punish persons believed responsible
for murder of Mexican citizens along
the border had failed.
For some time the consular gen
eral of Mexico has been receiving
notices from almost every consulate
in the state of Texas under its juris-
diction advising this office of crimes
committed on Mexican citizens I'M
der the most outrageous circum-
stances" said Mr.. Ruiz. Most of the
reports have come to Hidalgo county.
the latest of these being the lynchinE
of Elias Villarea Zarate at Weslaco
by group of IS men"
There have been In this state
many cases of murder of defenseless
citizens of Texas under the most abb
horrent circumstances which never
have been given publicity, Consul
Ruiz said in written statement.
Il feel sure that II the people OF
1eXaS knew OF tnS "DETAILS OF these
crimes, they would raise a strong
protest against the perpetrators.
They are an insult to the principles
OF righteousness and the spirit of
true democracy and 100 per cent
Americanism, for which this state
has always stood.
THE consul at Weslaco reports
that Zarate was taken by mob and
killed after he had been taken into
custody by the local authorities. The
consul reports that Zarate was ar
rested because he had struck man
IN self defense. having been attacked
by a man who was attempting to
beat him on the head with club.
Another case of lynching re-
ported from Hidalgo county recently
was Mexican citizen who had also
been arrested for some small offense.
His body was found in the open with
several bullet holes through IT."
The local officials of the town
claimed they had no knowledge of
the affair until their attention was
called to it by the man who found
the body.
