Mexican Anti-NegrO
Bar at Border Again
Reported to n. A. A.
C.. p.
Advancement Association
Asks U. S. Secretary of
State Hughes to In
vestigate

New York, Oct 19-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People again has received
word of anti-Negro discrimination by
the Mexican officials at Piedras Ne
gras, just across the border from Eagle
Pass, Texas, and has reported the
facts to Charles e. Hughes, U. S. Sec
retary of State in Washington. The
letter to Secretary Hughes, is as fol-
lows:
Referring to your letter of Sept. 30
containing a report forwarded by the
American Embassy in Mexico City, to
the effect that there is no discrimina-
ton by the Mexican government
II beg to advise that additional re-
ports have come to the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People that the Mexican gov
trance of United States citizens at
Piedras Negras and that we are in
formed discrimination is being prac-
ticed against persons of color.
Furthermore, we are informed that
the American consul at Eagle Pass,
Texas, has failed to properly assist the
persons Disseminated against.
"The complainant is William Vann,
who asserts that in 1909 he carried
colony of 60 families into the Republic
of Mexico and settled them on a grant
of 27,114 acres of land in the State
of Durango, Mexico, leased to his COM
pany, The Durango Land Company,
for 90 years from July u, 1909. In
1913 the colony left their homes in
Mexico and returned to the United
States upon the order of the presi-
dent of the United States that all
American citizens were to leave
Mexico. They listed their property
with the American consul at that time.
"Mr. Vann asserts that he has been
in Eagle Pass, Texas, since Sept. l
of this year and has not been per-
mitted to enter the Republeic of
Mexico to look after his property.
"We have a further letter from Mrs.
J. A. Williams of Eagle Pass, Texas,
asserting that white American citizens
are permitted to enter the Republic
of Mexico at Piedras Negras but that
this privilege is refused to Colored citi-
zens of the United States. Mrs. Will
liams further states: Mr.. Louis White
head has been as far in as sixty-flve
miles from the border without pass
port or anyone to vouch for him or
any questions asked but he looks like
a white man.
MAY we have your advice in this
matter "
