Joker n Eiesta Concession Sale Proves Costly to Successful Bidder.

It has developed that there was a Jolser in the bidding on fiesta gam- bling rights made "Wednesday In Ciu-da- d

Juarez. Gambling promoters tried to make a dupe of the city, it is said, but were duped instead. "With one contestant suddenly re-

moved from the race, the followers of R. Crux, who finally purchased the rights, were left alone. It appeared all one way, with nobody to bid. But when bidding was begun at the 31,000 mark, the minimum, a dark horse en- tered the race. It was Filipe Seijas, a prominentattorney of Juarez, who began pushing

up the figure to be paid for the right to run games next month in front of the bull ring. To the great surprise of the bidders, the attorney pushed up the figure, leaving it at $44,900. It was bought by Crux and his company for $45,000, much in excess of last year's figures. Now everybody knows that Mr.

Seijas is not a gambling promoter, in. fact, is known to be against gambling as an institution. And the attorney himself announces that he only bid to protect the city.

SONORA PAPER BERATES YANKEES

Calls Upon Mexicans to Re- turn Home Before More of TheniAre Burned.

Hermosillo, Son., Mex., Nov. 17. El Occidental, a Spanish weekly pub- lished weekly in Hermosillo, referring to the lynching of Antonio Bodriguex, makes sport of Americans and calls upon Mexicans to leave the United States and return to their homes. It says: "A Tankee community has formed the Sons of Kero and burned a man named Antonio Rodriguez after taking hlri from the jail at Rock Springs following the murder of a Yankee woman named Mrs. Henderson. The crowd, dirty, whisky and sausage filled, spitting nauseating tobacco of the color of shiny cockroaches, with sneers, cried for vengeance and burned him at the stake alive. "These are the acts of models of the

higher civilization of a group of North Americans, sons of the grand repub- lic, emulators of the moralist, Roose- velt, the lion hunter. "There In the land of Washington,

great virtues are scoffed at, there is your destination in the center of the main square of the city where the crackling funeral pyre cries out to destroy. "Tes, continue to live in a place

where they love and respect you so much that they write in some public places, Xo Mexicans admitted,' and where you are considered below the negroes, below the savages, below dogs. Continue o live in that land where you are scoffed at, where they call you greasers and imbeciles. "Abandon that sacred soil of your

fatherland and go where you are to be kicked and called beasts and spat upon and roasted alive, where they prosti- tute your wives and daughters and in the end you will burn alive. "We protest against this action of

Americans blinded with rage who per- petrated an act to which the hordes of savages in Central Africa or Tibet would not stoop, nor have the Yaquis In their most savage outbreaks ever committed a crime equal to this. "The last revolts formed (the( riots

We protest against such acts of reparation; we want reparation, but we will not nor should we give an example not fitted to our dignity. "We are noble and with nobility ana

decorum we shall seek reparation. "One group of Americans committed

this crime; that group should be chas- tised. "Thft American government and our

notifying them that they are permitting an illegal business to be conducted on their property. Tnis will be followed by injunctions asking the courts to re- strain the property owners from per- mitting their property to be used for illegal purposes. While no definite site has been se-

lected for tne new reservation, it is said that property owners on the "owcr end of Broadway are planning to erect houses to be occupied by the inrnate-- of the reservation. The city officials, while in favor of

the removal, say they will not allow the reservation to be moved from Broadway until the new location has been selected and houses erected on it, thus preventing the evil scattering over the city. If you haven't a Thermos Bottle in

BIBLIOGRAPHY:

RODRIGUEZ, ANTONIO

RODRÍGUEZ, ANTONIO (1890–1910). Antonio Rodríguez, a twenty-year-old Mexican ranchhand from

Las Vacas, Mexico, was the victim of a lynching in Rocksprings, Texas. He was charged with shooting

and killing Mrs. Lem Henderson at her ranch home near Rocksprings on November 2, 1910. He was

captured and arrested by a posse the next day at a neighboring farm, whence he was taken to

Rocksprings and jailed. On the afternoon of November 4 a mob took him from his cell and burned him at

the stake. His immediate and brutal execution without due process provoked immediate charges of

racism and caused anti-American reactions all over Mexico, just as that country teetered on the brink of

its revolution. Mobs raged through the streets of Mexico City and through towns along the Texas-Mexico

border, attacking dozens of American businesses, assaulting and insulting American citizens, destroying

the American flag, and making angry speeches that denounced all North Americans. El Diario del Hogar,

a Mexico City daily, called the people of the United States "giants of the dollar, pygmies of culture and

barbarous whites of the north." Francisco León de la Barra, Mexican ambassador to the United States,

presented a claim for reparations to the United States Department of State. Ambassador Henry Lane

Wilson of the United States retaliated by calling the riots a disgrace to Mexico City and to the Mexican

people, and accused the Mexican government of doing little to head off the riots although advance

warnings had been given. Then an unofficial and unconfirmed report was circulated that Antonio

Rodríguez had really been born in New Mexico, which if true would have canceled Mexico's demand for

reparation and made the United States the aggrieved party in the anti-American demonstrations. After

arresting scores of rioters, the Mexican government announced that it would start conducting its own

independent investigation of the Rodríguez affair through its consul at Eagle Pass. United States

secretary of state Philander Chase Knox requested that Texas governor Thomas M. Campbell give

Mexican diplomatic officials his full protection and support, while instigating a thorough investigation by

the Texas authorities as well. Meanwhile, as both governments hastened to resolve the dispute as swiftly

as possible, northern Mexico began seething in revolt, and the intense political conflicts that had been

building between Francisco I. Madero's followers and those of President Porfirio Díaz finally exploded into

the Mexican Revolution, which laid Mexico waste for more than a decade.
