LOPEZ ACCUSED
OF BURGLARY BY
DOUGLAS POLICE

BISBEE. July 26.-Meds-io Lopez.
Mexican youth who escaped from
guards across the line at Naco a few
days ago, seems TO be getting into
deep water. The Mexican officials
are endeavoring to have him held for
the alleged embezzlemeS< of customs
funds at Calexico.
Yesterday Lopez was taken to Doug
las by immigration Officer Brawley
and was lodged in the Douglas city
Jail The Douglas police officers now
have a warrant charging Lopez with
the burglary OF a house in that city.
Several handkerchiefs were found in
his possession bearing the laundry
mark OF X. Won Stauffen, an insur.
ance man OF Sonora, but who resides
in Douglas.
From recent developments it seems
that Lopez is not the innocent young
man that he would have had the of.
ficials here and Naco believe when
he made his sensational escape
across the line.

ter the tax commission explained

valuation showed an increase of s137.-
232.

Gus bank property on the last assess

two banks.

Of no particular section and no par
ticular people. He belongs to the
world; but Notwithstanding the fact
he possessed qualities which trans
cended nationality, Notwithstanding
that he was a world soul, that he
deserves place among the worlds

he was an American, and can wish

mo higher good than that you should

that you particularly should feel a

by reason of his Southern origin.
In speaking thus of Lee as an AM
erican, am not unmindful of the bit
terness of his enemies, who both
while he was living and after he was
dead, never ceased to assail him as a
traitor to his country, charging him
with having accepted his military ed
ucation at the hands of the govern
ment, and then deserving to its enem-
les in the time of its crisis. 1t is
true, of course, that Lee was educat-
ed at West Point, that for several
years he was the Superintendent in
charge of that great Military Acad-
envy, and that for some time he held
a high commission in the army of
the Union. These facts, however,
only serve to show the tremendous
appeal to conscience which the cause
of the South made to him, and the /
tremendous cost to him of casting in |.
the principle for which Lee fought |
was an American principle, and that
the motives which actuated him were .
consistent with the highest patriotism
and the highest Americanism. But .
if we pass over this period, it requires
only cursory knowledge of the at
titude of Lee after the War to con-
vince one of his sturdy Americanism,
for he lent all of the weight of his
influence to building up
The Union. One of his biographers
,ruly says that the North can never
know how much the Union owed to
Lee.
