Bryan Answers Telegram Assuring
Him That Such a Step Must Be t
Taken by Washington Alone. '
A request to know "whom the
United States Government now rccog- I
nizes as the constituted authority in
Mexican States bordering on the ltlo
Grande" went forward late Thursday
to President Wilson from Governor
O. B. Colquit, e: Texas. The request
was made for tho purpose of demanding
the surrender of the "abductors
and murderers" of Olemento Vergara,
a Texas Citizen, executed by Mexican t
Federals. Q
Then apparently answering the *
question hlmsel, tho Governor asked
consent of the United States, "in n
view of tho condition of revolution 1
and anarchy in these horde- States, v
to send Rangors across the Rio C
Grande in pursuit of the lawless ele- . e
ment of either faction when they r
cross into Texas and commit crimes." <1
"I insist, Mr. President, that Texas r
as a sovereign State, is entitled to
protect Texan citizens cn the border t
from an unbearable condition like t
that which now exists," concluded d
the message. I
Clemente Vergara, the American d
citizen, was assaulted by Mexican t
Federal soldiers on tho Mexican side (
of the Rio Grande and imprisoned a4

or he was hanged from a tree three ^
miles from that Htv nrwl ,"w,w

loft uncared for until two days ago, j
\vhon it was socretlv removed.
s
This, it is stated, was established
to the satisfaction of United States 1
Consul Garrett and S. J. Hill, brother
in-law of Vergara, who wont to Hi- 1
dalgo to investigate the death of the n
Texas ranchman.
Secretary Bryan telegraphed Gov- v
ernor Colquitt, of Texas, that the a
seeding of the State militia into Mex- 11
ieo to apprehend those responsible 8
for the hanging of Clement? Vergara, K
an American citizen, would involve 1
a responsibility which the Federal C
Government alone was in a position
to assume. v
A similar situation arose in Texas F1
in February, 1912, and February, v
1913, when border troubles caused d
Governor Colquitt to declare that he c
might send Texas Rangers into Mex- w
ico either to prevent firing into American
territory or to protect Ameri- ^
cans. When on February 24, 1913, p,
Governor Colquitt ordered four com- t
panies of militia to Brownsville, the ^
war department telegraphed General
Steever, then in command of the deV
partment of Texas, "under no circumstances
to permit their crossing of
the river, except under tho specific
orders of the Secretary of War." a

The third of tho series of mishaps ri

President Wilson Thursday took
ho position that for the United
Itatee to send marines or armed
orces of any kind into Mexico wlthut
the consent of tDo governing auhorltiea
there would bo an act of
var. He declared emphatically that
?ermls8ion never had been sought
ilther of Gen. Huerta or Gen. Caranza
and indicated cloarly no roluest
of that character would be
nade in the near future.
The president had been asked parlcularly
about reportB that American
roops might bo sent across the I'orler
to recover the body of William R.
fenton, and concerning published
lispatches that tho United States conemplated
sending marines to Mexico
Mty to guard the American embassy.
Ono press dispatch, saying Gen.
luorta himself had stated that ho
lad refused permission to tho United
itates to send 2,000 marines to Mexco
City, was shown to President Wllon,
who said no such a request ever
tad been made.
Administration officials expressed
ho opinion that Gen. Huerta probbly
inspired the statement merely
or effect on the Mexican people,
t'hom ho hoped to impress with his
ntipathy to the American govorntient
as it is well known that permlsion
to land marines for legation
uards has been freely accorded by
luerta to other nations, including
Jreat Hrltain and Germany.

RAPS LEGISLATURE
SKNATOll TILL.MAN TALKS OF
K AI LIU) AI> LI X. ISLATION.
Two-Cent Kate I'ufair?Says Governor
Haw led for it and the House
Voted it With No Kxcmption.
Senator B. It. Tillman, who arrived
at Greenwood Friday from Atlanta,
where he has been since his appearance
at the asylum investigation in
Columbia, gave out this statement
that afternoon:
"I have Just returned from Atlanta,
where I have been for the benefit
of my wife's health principally,
and incidentally, of my own. The
rest has done us both lots of good. I
shall return to Washington as soon
as possible, but want to go by home
to plant my vegetablo garden before
leaving the State.
"I have tried as best I could since
he legislature met to keep in touch
with what it has been doing, but the
two things which have Interested mo
most aro the asylum investigation
and the two-cent flat rato for railroads.
I want to say something about
this latter for the benefit of my follow
citizens. I am not Tory hopeful,
however, of it having any effect
whatever on the legislature, because
It is perhaps too late; but I can see
the ear marks of the railroad lobby.
One branch of the general assembly,
the House, has passed the flat rate,
without making any exceptions.
"This is unjust and never ought to
have been done. It is not right to
compel the short, poor roads, of
which there are 15 or 20 in tho State,
with only one or two passenger trains
a day and these with very inferior
cars, to carry passengers at 2 cents
per mile. It should not have been
thought of and the bill ought to have
been amended In tho House to provide
for tho exemptions that are necessary
if the law is to be a Just one.
But I notice that there is an efTort
in tho Senate to kill the bill on account
of these exemptions not having
been made, and every device and
parliamentary trick is being employed
to accomplish this result. Why
don't tho senators who want to serve
their constituents, the people, amend
tho bill so as to make it reasonable
and Just and send it back to the
House instead of killing it and doing
nothing as the railroads want them
to do?
"Why do not the legislators look
after tho rights and privileges of
those who have bought railroad
mileage ovor tho through lines, but
can not use it in South Carolina at
all from point to point within the
State? Why is not the railroad commission
given power, if any more be
needed than it already has, to regulate
this matter of exemption? How
long will railroad attorneys, inside
and outside of both branches of the
general assembly, be permitted to
manipulate our law making machinery
in the interests of the railroads
and to the detriment of the traveling
public7
"I have not kept up with the debates
and do not know whnt names
to specify, but unless my health fails
or quits improving my purpose is to
investigate tho journals of both tho
Senate and the House and see who Is
to blame for this condition of affairs
and so help me (Jod, I will let the
people know who are their faithful
servants and who are traitors to their
interests before tbo next primary.
"I can not make any speeches on
tho stump or anywhere else, but I
can dictate to a stenographer and
sign what I write in that way. It
makes me sick, old and decrcpid as f
am, to see how cunning and subtle
and unscrupulous the railroad lobbyists
are, and how cowardly and corrupt
the people's servants are becoming,
bow the people are bamboozled
and are being debauched by demagogues
high and low.
"The governor bawls for a 2 cent
rate and tho House votes it, flat,
without any exemption, and his conscience
is clear. He knows, as well
as I do, that a 2-cent flat rate is not
right and every sensible man in the
State knows it Is not right to allow
the long and rich roads like the
Southern, Seaboard and Atlantic
t t - -? - ? -?
i-dne, to ao as uiey aro now doing
and will continue to do until the
people arouse themselves and hold
their servants to account."

"PROVIDES FOR TEST
HOUSE PROVIDES APPROPRIATION
TO BENEFIT FARMLKS
?
LEVER IS WELL PLEASED
Sex*rotitry of Agriculture to Investigate
mid Determine Helutive Spinning
Values of Cotton us StmikIAir(1i/.ed
by the (loverniueiit?Dig Suving
to Kurmcrs.
Representative Lever Is well pleased
with that feature of the agricultural
appropriation bill Jv.st reported
to iho House from bis committee,
which provides in substance the features
of a bill introduced by him on
January 19 of this year to enable the
secretary of agriculture to investigate
and determine the relatlvo spinning
values of cotton as standardized by
tho government and for demonstrating
the results of such tests and car
rying an appropriation of $60,000
for this purpose.
Speaking of thin item of the bill,
Mr. Lever said: "When the appropriation
bill for the agricultural department
was under consideration
for 1913 in the Senate, my colleague,
Senator Smith, inserted in it provision
for testing the waste, tensile
strength and bleaching qualities of
the dfferent grades of cotton as
standardized by the government and
secured a small appropriation to begin
the work which has progressed
very satisfactorily in the department.
Senator Smith's work in this respect
is to be most heartily commended by
those acquainted with the conditions
of the cotton trado.
"My bill, which in effect, is carried
in tho annual appropriation bill
which I have just reported, seeks,
first, to provide sufficient money to
test tho tensile strength, waste and
bleaching qualities of all grades of
cotton as standardized by the government,
and at tho samo time goes a
step further and provides the authority
and the necessary funds for conducting
experimental demonstrations
to tho cotton trade, especially tho
producer of the value of this work.
"Upon inquiry at tho department I
ascertained that tho present appropriation
for this work was entirely
inadeouate for an oxnodltious com
pletion of it, and that tho present
funds hnvo permitted tests of only
ono length of staple, namely, one-inch
upland cotton.
"Tho appropriation provided in my
bill and inserted by tho committee in
tho appropriation bill, would permit
similar teats on 5-8-inch, 3-4-inch, 1inch
and 1 1-2-inch, and make it possible
to demonstrate the results of
those tests in various cotton centres
of tho country. The work provided
in this item will go far toward determining
tho most Important elements
involving in tho determination of the
intrinsic value of tho different grades
of cotton, and at tho same time make
It possible to bring this information
promptly to the attention of cotton
producers and to tho cotton trado
generally.
"Tho appropriation will enable tho
department also to extend this work
whereas tha present appropriation
has permitted this to be done with rospect
to only five grades and that
with only 1-inch length staple. The
time has come when we must take into
account tho very important matters
of seeing to it that as far as possible
tho farmer should recoivo tho
intrinsic value of his products.
"I have 110 doubt that tho Southern
farmers aro losing anywhere
from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000
on their annual cotton crop, because
they havo not been taught to know,
as these U'?ts ami demonstrations
will show, that tho difference in tho
market value of low grade and high
grade cotton Is intrinsically and comparatively
small.
"Tho work of tho department in
making tho tests of 1-inch upland
staple should bo extended as expeditiously
as possible to all length and
to all grades of cotton, and when the
results havo been secured they should
not be allowed to bo locked up in
Washington, but should be made
available In the most practical way to 1
tho cotton producerA in the country. [
I am extremely gratified that the
committee, of which I am chairman, 1
was kind enough to allow this item
to go into the bill.
"These demonstrations must result
J Inevitably in so arousing the cotton
producers of tho several Spates that :
tho legislatures thereof will bo fore- i
ed, as they should be, to provide ofil- t
cially cotton grades In every cotton i
market within them. When tho far- i
mer is taught to know what ho is
losing in the value of his low grade
cotton and that such losses can be
saved through official cotton grades, |
I warrant ho will see to it that such i
grades are provided."

('apt. J. A. Campbell Beslor of
London and three eompanioriH arrived
In New York city a few days ago
fresh from the unexplored wilds of
Peru, Brazil and the upper waters of
the Amazon, where they spent ten
months. A narrative of the trip
through tho last unknown country of
tho world reads like a chapter of
ancient explorers.
One of tho Incidents was the trailing
of the ill-fated Cromer-Seljan oxplorntion
expedition, which resulted
In tho finding of the bones of Seljan
and Patrick O'Hlgglns, two Americans,
who had been devoured by cannibals.
There was the discovery of
three pro-Inca cities abandoned 10,000
or 20,000 years ago, but with
evidences of marvelous architectural
art still Intact, wonderful campi utensils
and weapons, campl being as
alloy of gold and silver.
Capt. Lesley and ten conipanloaa
left Lima, Peru, In July, 1913, determined
to go through tho unexplored
areas of Brazil, Peru and Bolivia
In their journey they studied tha
deadly Ute fly; Journeyed over roads
constructed 10,000 years ago that ara
as pood to-day as when they wore
built and viewed tho ruins of cities
of tho pre-Inca typo, which must
havo had a population of 00,000 or
more and must have been constructeh
20,000 years ago.
"Wo returned to Lima for tho third
timo last September," say a ('apt. BeBloy,
"and then departed for our last
expedition, which was to take ur
across the continent. .lust as we were
about to go, United States Minister
Henry 0. Howard, at Lima, rocoived
a telegram from Secretary of Stato
Bryan asking him to inquire about
the fate of the Cromor-Soljan expedition,
which went into the interior in
1911 to locate a grant of land awarded
to the Peruvian American corporation
by the Peruvian government.
"We knew that \V. II. Cromer, a
West Point graduate, was one of tha
heads; that W. H. Page was another;
member and that Seljan, whose flrat
name wo never got, was a third.
"Holbrook, Coatee, Dunn and myself
started soon afterward and after
leaving Corro de Pusco plunged into
a country which white men had never
entered before. We reached the river
and rafted down It for seven daya.
We woro fired upon by Indians with
poisond arrows, blow-guns and oldfashioned
muskets.
"There wo got trace of Seljan and
Patrick O'Higglns, an America?
miner who had been with him. Wa
never got a trace of Cromer or Paga.
An Indian girl brought us a letter
written by Seljan to her. It was i?
Spanish and she couldn't read. II
was a love letter, but It told us ha
and O'Higglns were traveling toward
a river three weeks'Journey distant.
He then had six Indians as guides.
.? - * At.-A ..<!

"One Raid that an Indian girl, Juliano,
had continued with the men,
and it was not so long thereafter
that we came upon Juiiano. She said
sho had gone witli the men until one
evening she was treed by a bear near
camp. While she was in the tree
sho heard some shots. Sho never
stopped to inquire, but when the bear
fled she struck off through the jungle
for home.
"We followed the trail she indicated
seven days, and at last, a little
distance from the trail, wo found the
bones of two men, thigh bones, arm
bones and small bones, with evidences
of a Are. About that samo I
time some Indians appeared near
Iquitos with tho guns and clothing of
the two men. They said they had
bought them from tho men themselves.
