Teapot Dome is gushing into
Mexico as the mania for de-
,iphering code kilograms
spreads across the border.
Sensational Exposures.
The result is a series of ex-
posures no less sensational
than those in Washington and
involving prominent Mexicans
and in part the same figures
that have been oil-soaked in
the U. S. A.
The newspaper Universal Grafico
is running series of kilograms and
letters between Albert B. Fall and
his Representatives on the American
ude of the line and MARKHAM generals
here. The facts, tho long suspected,
have all Mexico by the ears, for
they involve a new partition Of Mex
leo with five northern states and the
entire oil fields involved. A seces-
sion fomented and financed by Amer
lean oil and mining interests, with
immediate recognition Of the seces-
sionists virtually assured by men
close to Harding, such as Daugherty
and Fall (and even the name Of
Hughes figuring).
Why were these professional fill
busters so anxious to annex the
Mexican oil and mine regions, if
they were able to use Gas they
havel the state department Of the
United States to exact concessions
and nullify article 81 of the Mexi-
can constitution?
The answer is found in Teapot
Dome. They knew it would be cas-
Ter to get concessions for a song
from men like Fall if the region be-
came American territory than to
bully it out of refractory officials.
The exposures show that the alleged
bandit Villa shot the first briber
that was sent to him, and that the
second, when he heard Of the fate
Of his predecessor, sold the letter
ne bore to President Carranza.
Saw Much of Secretary Hughes.
They show further that Fall and
his gang financed a revolution by
General Cantu in Lower California,
but that it fell thru. The disrepu-
table General Gonzales, member of
Carranza's cabinet; General Pelaez,
one of the leaders of the recent re-
bellion, and General Cuellar, were all
tools. A certain "Caso" whose real
name has not yet been decided, "has
of late Ito quote one Of the tele-
grams) seen good deal Of Hays
Charles Evans Hughes) and report
ed made good impression"
"He (Caso) and Cara General
Cuellar) have also seen Thomas
(Fall, then secretary of the inter-
ior). Latter apparently well i'm
pressed with Garza.''
All these and many. more things
the kilograms and letters reveal.
Continuing the same telegram which
signed himself ''Langford," to j. H.
Sears in the Hotel Ambassador, Los
Angeles, and DECIDING it as far as
possible we find:
General Cuellar has apparently
made deal with California Company
(Doheny }. Mona General Con-
zales) is working hard and is looked
on favorably by Dover (Daugherty)
and other friends Of Haynes Presi-
dent Harding)."
Recognition by U. S. Promised.
Another telegram from Buckley to
Sears reads in part:
81 have been advised definitely
that Company (the government Of
the United States) will Immediately
give appraisal (recognition) to
Thompson (Palaesz) if he will take
land. / have so advised him. I
also think company would give ap-
praisal to ANY ONE WHO MAKES
A CREDITABLE SHOWING
and that we can Immediately there
after secure from the company all
manner Of facilities at boundary and
soon thereafter secure appraisal"
The letter from one OF Falls
henchmen to Villa reads in part as
follows:
IF you will meet me at a place
designated by you on the border
promise to bring to our conference
one of the most eminent statesmen
in the United States with powerful
influence with BOTH OUR Ma
TIONAL POLITICAL PARTIES
relative to questions pertaining to
Mexico. refer to U. S. Senator
Albert B. Fall f. no living Ameri-
can knows the conditions in Mexico
better than he. Now, General Villa,
i have discussed this question thoro-
ly with Senator FAN and most of
the prominent mining men Of Chi
huahua, and the press of this coun-
try is generally with you in forming
a stable government, especially IN
NORTHERN MEXICO grimly

his friends land you) can organize

there being only one condition that
