IN 4S HOURS
State Department Has Sent
Prompt Word to US. Of
ficiaIs To Call Upon Mex
ican Government To Pro-
tect American Life and
Property

Washington. D. G., June 27.--Forty
American employees of the Cortez Oil
company near Tampico and destruct-
ible property valued at quarter OF
million dollars are being held by a
rebel general until ransom Of 10000
pesos is paid, according to a message
today from the American consul at
Tampico to the state department
The dispatch was dated yesterday
and said that rthe rebel General Go
rozase had seized the companys prop
erty and was holdingit with 240 we'll
armed men Prompt instructions were
sent BY the state department to the
embassy in Mexico City and to the con-
sui at Tampico 20 urge the Mexican
authorities to take immediate action
for the protection Of American lives
and property.
The consul reported that Gorozave
had demanded payment Of the $4,000
pesos within 4s hours from Yesterday
morning when his forces seized the
property. The message said also that
there were no Mexican federal troops
in the vicinity.
The consul's message contained few
details. 1t said in substance that the
Cortez Oil company's Aguada camp was
in the hands of the rebel General Co
rozave with 240 well armed men; that
Gorozase had demanded payment of
$4,000 pesos within as hours from yes
terday morning and that he was hold
ing a quarter of million dollars worth
of destructible property and forty
American citizens as security.
The message added that there were
no Mexican forces in the vicinity and
that the camp had asked for protection
for its American employees and prop
erty. As the message was dated yes
terday the time for payment of the
$4,000 pesos fixed by the rebel leader
probably was due to expire some time
today.
The state department sent the fol-
lowing message to the embassy at
Mexico City. similar instructions going
to the consul at Tampico at the same
time:
eUrge the appropriate authorities TO
adopt vigorous measures to extend
adequate protection TO the life and
property OF American citizens. report
ed held by the rebel General Gorozave

FORTY AMERICANS HELD
YlNEXLCAN REBEL BAND
AND RANSOM DEMANDED
SOME HERRIN PEOPLE
WANT TO SEE KHAKI
Believe That Twelve Wounded Non
union Men Will Need Protection
When They Try to Leave Town.

Herrin, ILL.,, June 27.-tBy the
Associated Press Twelve wounded
men, survivors of the Az non-union
workers and guards captured at the
Lester mine by a mob last Thursday
are in danger of their lives if they
leave the Herrin hospital, according to
reliable reports reaching state and
federal Investigators.
Dead men tell no tales, and some
of those wounded men know too much
for the safety of members of the mob
one Herrin business man commented.
Officials of the hospital admitted
that some union men attempted
to. remove one Of the wounded
guards at IL o'clock last night under
promise of escorting him over the
county line. but they we're denied en-
trance to the hospital.
The consensus Of opinion among the
responsible element seems to be that
the state should send one or two
squads of armed soldiers to Herrin
when the wounded are already to leave
to furnish them safe conduct back to-
Chicago. The mere appearance of a
small body of men in uniform would
forestall any mob action, Herrin men
say.
That the massacre victims fear
violence if they are forced to leave the
hospital unprotected was confirmed by
four of the men. Their fear also was
held by Howard Hoffman, Huntington,
Ind. one of the mine guards who died
in the hospital
Hoffman in an anti-mortem state
ment, warned hospital authorities. it isl
would ever leave Williamson county
alive. He was among the six men tied
together and shot down in cemetery
near the mine.
Hoffman when dying. said be fell at
the first volley and feigned death. A
member of the mob approached and
fired pointblank into his back. Then
he rolled Hoffman over. face up and
several men stamped ON his chest.
Finally one of the mob drew knife
and slashed Hoffman's throat.

Angered because their town has BEEN
blamed for the atrocities. Herrin
'itizens say other mining towns should
bear part of the responsibility for
having supplied rioters who joined

been unable TO get information leading
