MEXICO CITY, Aug. 4.-The Amer
charge d'affairs, Arthur H. S. Schoen
field, sent formal protest note to tn
Mexican Government for the British
Government on account of the death
Of Mrs. Rosalie Evans.
Mrs Evans, wealthy widow haci
enda owner who has made a greaA
deal of trouble for Mexican authori-
ties, was shot late Saturday night.
She disregarded all the laws of the
country concerning the hours of work
for her employees and never needed
provisions for the welfare Of the
poems whom she treated almost as
slaves. She hired gunner to PRO
tect' her.
British Agent Helped Her.
Her husband was British subject,
once president of the London Bank in
Mexico City. She was from Texas.
It was largely due to his efforts to. de-
fame the Mexican governments pos.
ition in regard to Mrs. Evans that the
DtlllSu dSSuJ anu 6uppObeu dICll-
visit" H. A. C. Cummins, was recently
forced to leave Mexico. Mrs. Evana
refused to accept the price the Mexi.
can government offered for her land.
Secretary of state Colugna stated
that the Mexican government much
deplored the shooting and would
make every effort to arrest the guilty
PERSONS oil Troubles.
Relations between Britain and Me7E
co have not been friendly for some
time. Britain has never recognised
the Obregon government and Mexicd
has been subjected to much abuse by
the Ell Aguilar Oil Company, British
concern, which has not honored the
Mexican constitution.
Premier Macdonald, the Labor and
MISUNDERSTANDING Britisher, will
trumpet the sentiments of the fmper.

the neighborhood of Groveland, early
today. The casualties are: five men

The battles began as the white

James Connolly, Francis Cotter,

Admit Banks Get It.

Officials of the U. S. treasury con-
firm this view of the situation. The
high prices of wheat, they say, have
placed the financial institutions in
many states on their feet again. Mil
lions of dollars in credit extended to
farmers will be liquidated or the loans
reduced this fall and paper which
some of the banks had been forced to
charge off as uncollectable will now
become obligations upon which the
banks will realize
One of the groups of creditors who
will suck the profits out of the farm
ers' apparent good fortunes are the
so-called seed pool men. According
to advices from Topeka, these men
gambled on this years crop, provid-
ing the farmers with seed and other
working capital. They now have a
right to their share of the produce.

crease in the value of farm products
about which the capitalist press is
doing so much talking is, as matter
of fact, gross exaggeration. Stats
ticians of the Sears Roebuck Agri-

found that the increase in prices up

ers' possible receipts by more than
$500, 100000 and pointed out that
