That Is President Wilson's deter-
mination. Leaders In Congress with
whom he conferred today agreed
there was ample precedent for such
action.
Not only the Tampico Incident,
but a long stretch of indignities of-
fered to the United States, to the
tonspicuous exclusion of other for-
eign nations represented in Mexico,
has convinced the President and his
advisers that the United States had
been singled out for "manifestations
of ill will and contempt."
Official dispatches to Charge O'
Shaughnessy have been intercepted
by the Mexican censor.
A ship's orderly ashore in full

A few days ago as J. C. Kennedy
and R. P. Thompson of the Brenham
Compress, Oil and Manufacturing
»any were on their return from
Burton they had quite an unusual ex
perience. ' i -V ;,:,-
After leaving Burton in their au-
tomobile, they detoured over a neigh
>orhood road in order to attend to
some business affairs, intending to
come around by Lot* Point agK
thence make their way back to
the main Burton and Brenham line
of road.
When about three miles from Bar-
ton, on the neighborhood road, they
saw a man and woman coming
their direction in a wagon drawn by
two mules.
It was Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph
Draeger and #0, seeing that the
mules appeared to be frightened the
men in the auto stopped the machine
at one side of the road till the wagon
could pass. But as soon as the auto
stopped the mules whirled, turned
the wagon around and started bac
in the opposite direction at fill
speed. The suddeii turn threw Mr,
Draeger out of the wagon and
fell to the ground in such way that
the wajfon ran over him, breaking
one arm and scratching him other-
wise.
The injured man was at once plac
ed in the automobile by Mr. Kennedy
and Mr. Thompson and carried to
the house of a neighbor and medical
assistance summoned. Both men were
mortified at the accident and in-
structed the people at whose house
Mr. Draeger was left to get every-
thing necessary for Ms comfort at
once. They then got into their ma-
Chine and went in search of the run-
away wagon, alarmed lest Mrs.
Draeger had fallen out and bees
seriously Injured.
The road was rough and made sev-
eral short turns, and over two or
three bridges. Over all this and
amend the turns the mules sped
without striking anything, or running

official statement.
President Wilson told his advisers
he standi for peace, but is deter

States.

White House Statement.
The following official statement
was issued today as representing the
views of President Wilson and the
administration:
"In discussions tit official circles
in Washington of the present Mexi-
can situation, the following point*
have been very mneh dwelt upon:
"It has been pointed out, that is
considering the .present {somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, thei
pleasant incident at Tampico

time past the defacto government' Of

Official Diipateben Held Up,
"Most serious of all, the officials

of the United States to Its embassy
at Mexico City, until it should have

Mr. Kennedy says Mr% Draeger does
not attach any blame whatever to
the automobile as it lad stopped stilL

play when least expected.
