DRIVING YANKEES
OUT OF COUNTRY
MEXICAN POLICY
Carranza Government Regards
" All Diplomatic Protests of
; U, S. Perfunctory,
Testimony Shows.
Washington. Dec. 10. Further
testimony taken by the Fall commit
tee investigating Mexican affairs
made public Wednesday pictures the
Carranza government as regarding
-it J ' 1 . i . . r . i
:n Qipionijiiic protests or inc Amer
ican government as perfunctory, and
accredits to officials of the Mexican
Rovernment a policy of driving
Americans out of the country.
The committee made public the
testimony of W. F. Buckley, an
American lawyer long resident in
Tampico anuVone of the well known
members of the American colony in
Mexico.
"Luis Cabrera (Mexican minister
offinance) told me very frankly,"
testified Buckley, "that the menace
of the American in Mexico must be
removed and that the only vvay to o
this was to drive him.odt ot the
country untHake his property."
Wilson Advanced Liberal
"He explained to me," the witness
continued, "that Mr. Wilson was
what he was pleased to , term 'an ad
vanced .liberal, a greatV democrat,'
whose concern was for the welfare
o' the people of the world and was
not limited to the narrow bounds of
the United States. He said, con
tinued Buckley, "Mr. Wilson was op
posed to capital in Mexico and every
where else, no matter to whom the
'caphal belonged and that, in expet
ipfc the Amrican from Mexico the
constitutionalists would receive the
sympathy of the American govern
ment." x,
Buckley assailed the attitude of
the oil companies in Mexico. - .
"The Mexican Question has been
to make too much an oil question,"
he told the
f
committee, and has
been confused too much with oil .and
the oh companies have suffered and
are entitled to relief, but their suk
fcring has been nothing as com
pared to that of the American of
smaller means."
Vacillating Policy. i
The oil companies, he charged,
had pursued a weak and vacillating
-policy, "very similar tc that of the
American government in handling
thi general Mexican situation,"
'The oil company, able to fight,"
. Buckley said, "has nof nad the cour
age to do so and has fallen back on
the -one alternative bribery. ' There
, is not one of the foreign oil com
panies doing business . in, Mexico
which has not from one to 100 Car
raruistas on its payroll In adopt
ing this contemptible policy the
companies have not only contrib
uted to their present plight, but they
have failed (o seize that leadership
in the fight for American-rights in
Mexico, to which they were urged
by circumstances, and in so failing
they have done incalculable harm to
the American of small means and to
the American people and to Ameri
can prestige." j '
Buckley insisted he did not believe
armed intervention the only solu
tion. He suggested the possibility
of this government giving its un
qualified support to someone repre
senting the old order, or, as an al
ternative, withdrawing recognition
oi the present government! and pa
tently; wait Until a better govern
ment might be established.

to several hours' questioning as to
his relations with Miss Tabor.

At Grocers!
Washington, Dec. 10. Testimony
that Cap. Karl jDeitzer had struck
military prisoners in France in the
face and ordered his sergeants to
"beat them up" in order to force
"confessions" was given today by
three witnesses when he was placed
on trial at Governors Island. The
offenses with which Captain Deitzer
is charged occurred while he was
in charge of "criminal investiga
tion" in the Lemans area. The de
fendant was in command of the
308th military police company.
George E. Williams, of Cornjng.
Ia., a discharged private, asserted
that after he had been slapped by
Deitzer, the captain ordered Ser
geants U. S. Madden and Frank L.
Hoyt, "to take him out in the yard
and make him come clean."
Williams declared that while Hoyt
"held his hands behind his back,
Madden beat him. until, fearing he
was to be 'killed," he had signed a
statement which hebelieved was to
the effect that he Had stolen' prop
erty. Beaten by Sergeant '
Private Thomas J. McAdams, now
attached to the Fifth Guard com
pany at Governors ' Island testified
that, after having been "picked up
on the streets at a time when he
was an attending patient at a base
hospital, he had been beaten by
Serjeant Hovt Deitzer. he said
came into ther6om, asked him why
he did not confess to a certain
crime so that he would not be beaten
any more and left after Hoyt had
said: Get out ot trie room, captain
while I give him some more.
McAdams said he had signed
statement oreoared by Hoyt because
he was in fear of. his life, not only
from the beating he said he had re
ceived but by the appearance of
Caotain Deitzer and his men "armed
with guns and black jacks."
Strikes .Two Prisoners.
Samuel G. Roth of Chicago, who
once had been . Deitzer' s 'desk ser
geant, testified that he had seen
Deitzer violate his own order by
strikinar two prisoners. -
Thomas Gossett. of Galveston
Tex., once a guard of the office of
Captain Deitzer, testified that he had
never seen any 'prisoners strucK.,
In outlining his case for the de
fense Lieutenant Thomas Heffer
tan declared that a military police
company had to be organized at
Lemans because many complaints
had been 'received from the trench
of "dangerous criminals. '
Clashes with "Judge. "
He added that "the -court is go
ing to see the type of men who gave
the A. E. F. a black eye in France,"
and men who had been removed
from the company by' Deitzer and
who bore a grudge.
Time and again he clashed with
Major William E. Kelly, judge ad
vocate, when he attempted to mi
peach credibility of witnesses.
Laptam Deitzer appeared betorc
the court in uniform, wearing two
gold service stripes. He is mor
than six feet tall and weighs 200
pounds. He appeared unmoved' as
the charges were read and to each of
the 28 specifications entered a pica
of not guilty.
Sergeant Madden, of Pittsburgh,'
once a member of the. Pennsylvania
state constabulary, was not in court.
He will be tried at the end of the
present case. y

be unloaded at the chutes. The count
showed 15 cars. "According to the
