MAY REQUIRE mexico
TO PAY FOR MURDER
United States and Great Britain
Both Interested in Staying of
Mrs. Evans
BY CHAsLES P. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Augast ~. -
Mere execution of the actual killers
probably will not end either Brit
ish or American demands for an
accounting concerning the murder
of Mrs. Resale Evans near Tex
melucan, State of Puebla, Mexico
From the London foreign office
it is expected a call for indemnity
will come, as well as for vengeance.
The state department in Washing
ton is interested in reports that the
murder plot originated north of the
Rio Grande.
Mrs. Evans, a widow, American
by birth, but British by marriage,
had Mexican lands which local
"agrarians" were trying to take
from her. Under Mexican laws,
the "agrarians' claims might have
been pretty good if she had aequir-
ed her holdings after these laws
were enacted, but she acquired
them before then.
Her title having been good origi-
nally, as a foreigner she refused to
dispossessed and asked H. c. Cum
Minis, the British charge d'affaires
in Mexico City, to help her.
Cummons was so forcible in his
representations that the Mexican
government drove him out Of the
country. Then Mrs. Evans appeal
ed to President Oregon, who
promised at least to protect her.
The British, according to dis
patches to the state department,
argue that Oregon had ample no.
tice the woman was in danger but
failed to take any precautions
Gross neglect on Obregon's part, if
nothing worse, is expected to be
the basis of a British claim for dam
ages.
The state department, because of
the Monroe poctrine, always has
an acute interest in European
claims against American countries.
This interest is all the keener be-
cause British Charge d'Affaires
Cummins, on being chased out,
turned the protection of his coun.
try's interests over to the American
embassy in Mexico City.
Still further, the fact that the
victim was a woman makes the out
rage particularly exasperating.
In addition to all this comes the
suggestion that interests which
hoped to discredit the present Mex
lean government, by involving it in
trouble with foreign powers, insti-
gated the crime, and did so from
this side of the border.
A good deal more than an ex-
preston Of regret and an assurance
that the murderers have been exc
cuted is likely to be required from
Mexico City before London or
Washington recognize the affair as
settled.
