General Martinez. present COM
mander of|the Valley of Mexico, held
conference on the situation at
which it was decided to use wide
spread military measures to round
up the agrarian bandits in PuebIa
and to completely disarm the civilian
population.
The minister of interior also gave
a preliminary report on the tragedy
to President Obregon. Later the
president. in an interview with the
United Press, said:
I'm the whole Of my executive
career I have never encountered a
situation more disturbing or annoy.
ing. 1t is such assassins as these
| that are the worst. enemies of Mex
leo. I can assure you the Govern
ment will use its utmost efforts to
eliminate the causes of these grave
tragedies
The President recalled that Mrs.
Evans dispute with the Government
about her land was on the point of
being settled when she was muir
dered. Even Mrs. Evans herself,
Obregon said, had come to the point
where she admitted she was receiv-
ing fair treatment at the hands of
the Government.
Generals Serrano, Gomez, Martinez
and Robert Cruz, governor of Pu-
ehla have worked oIt a~nrograu1 for
pacification of Peubla and punish
ment of the murderers, the Presi-
dent said.

British Consul King has taken
charge of the investigation owing
to what British residents consider
the dilatory tactics of the American
embassy.
King said he will bring the body
of Mrs. Evans to Mexico City, despite
opposition of Puebla authorities and
will personally conduct an investiga-
ton to place guilt on the real mur-
derers.
Although British diplomatic af-
fairs have been in the hands of the
American embassy since H. Cunard

was expelled from the country, II
was said at the embassy there was
