A Full Account. Laredo, Tex., March 9. -"Recuerdos' remembrance written on a card at tached to a shovel that protruded from an open grave was the single tract found today of the party of men who mysteriously entered Hidalgo cemetery in Mexico, exhumed the body of elem ents v ergara and returned it to Texas. Vergara's body was carried across the Rio Grande 45 miles above Laredo early Sunday morning and there it was found by a federal official, a state offi cer and a county deputy sheriff, wiiu was responsible for its removal from Mexico was a question still unanswer able. The body was here today await- ng an examination which state author- ities hope may disclose something to aid them in placing blame for the ranchman's violent death after he was taken prisoner by Mexican federals. Had Been Tortured. A superficial examination of the body disclosed two gunshot wounds in the head, one in the neck, a blow as it from a rifle butt which crushed the skull and the mutilated left hand, twisted and charred by fire, suggested that torture had been inflicted before Vtrgara was executed. Texas Rangers of the troop of Cap tain J. J. Sanders were first declareu responsible for the return of Vergara's body but later this was denied. Captain Sanders was one of the men whs 'were informed" that the body could be found at a designated place. The other two were American consul Gat- rett of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and Dep uty Sheriff Petty. Officials did not Participate. They went to the scene ostensibly to secure further information on the Vergara case but admitted later that they had been told that the body had been returned. Who were their infor mants was one of numerous questions each of the officials in turn refused to answer. They did say, however, that neither United States nor state officials lad any part in the actual trip into Mexico. Later rumors had it that former em- ployes of the Vergara ranch, chafing at delay in securing the body for prop er interment, had taken matters into thei rown hands. Surmises that Mexican authorities might have taken this method of re turning Vergara's body were forestall ed by a remark of Consul Garrett, who expressed belief that they did not yet know of the incidenfc-- Who Was Responsible. Despite the mystery as to who was responsible for the return of the body there seemed little doubt as to the ac tual facts of its recovery. There were only nine men in the party who gathered on the river bank ate Saturday night near where Ver gara was alleged to have been seized February 13 by Captain Apolonio Rodriguez and three Federal soldiers. A Mexican who claimed to have wit nessed both the execution and burial of Vergara led them across country to ward Hidalgo and skirting the sleep ing town, showed them a new shallow grave in a far corner of the cemetery. A rude pine box soon was lifted out Evidently the workers had known tno ranchman, for they made certain they had the body they sought. Party Unchallenged. The homeward journey began witn the party still unchallenged. Once back on American soil they rested their bur den for final identification. This was made by the family and the body was consigned to the waiting officials. The party had no permission from Mexican authorities to make the trip and secure the body and Consul Gar rett said last night that he had never requested permission from the federals to have this done. What complications., if any, might result from the trip itno foreign territory apparently caused no uneasiness among Vergara's friends, who pointed out the peaceful charactei of the party. - - Other Mexican Problems. Washington, March 9. The presi dent had no further advices toda about the inquiry into the Benton kill ing. On the subject of protection o foreigners in Mexico the president in dicated clearly that the American gov ernment would continue to use its good offices on behalf of . subjects of those powers which had recognized the Huerta government and could not, therefore, deal with the constitutional ists. No information has been obtained as to whether General Carranza has al tered his attitude of denying to the United States the right to inquire for the welfare of nationals other than her own. Incidentally the president denied that the American government knew anything of a published report that Germany had warned Mexico that an injury to American subjects would meet with retalliation.. The president told callers that Germany's attitude toward the position of the United States in the Mexican situation had been satisfactory and friendly and that Germany had occupied a most digni fied position throughout. He did not believe reports, he added, that Ger many was disposed to complicate the situation. Acting Chairman Shiveley, of the sen ate foreign relations committee, con ferred with President Wilson and then with Secretary Bryan about the Ver gara case and said afterwards that lit tle official information had been re ceived. Telegram from Colquitt. Washington, March 9. Senator Fall, of New Mexico, today received this telegram dated March 8, from Governor Colquitt, of Texas: "Am just in receipt of a -telegram from Capt. Sanderson, of Texas Rang ers, saying he had returned from Hidalgo, Mexico, with Vergara's body and now has it on American soil. (Signed) "O. B. COLQUITT, "Governor Texas."

The Ivey store is undamaged as a re sult of the fire, except in their basa ment. In the rear basement of this store there was this mo-ning from four to six inches of water. In the front part of the basement, where a large quantity of table wara and other goods are sold, there was an inch or more of water yesterday, but no great damage was fone there. The most ser ious inconvenience there was the hose into Trade street, where it ran toward Church and down Church to the drain pipe at the corner of Church and Fourth streets. The water in the basement of the burned building was between five and six feet deep, or would have been, it said, about breast deep on .the aver age man. By 10 o'clock last night it was practically pumped out.

Canton, Miss., March 9. The Mis sissippi State Bank, one of the oldest financial institutions in the state, did not open for business today. Directors announced that depositors would be paid in full. It is said the bank was closed because of the recent prosecu tion of a state law providing for guar antee of :eposits. The bank was cap' italized at $100,000 with a surplus of $50,000. lihood that it will expand, or "cup" upward, as it will take it many days to dry out. The rear basemoLt is fill ed with a miscellaneous collection of goods, including a quantity of ice cream freezers and other goods part ly metallic, that will suffer from com ing in contact with water. Yorke Bros. & Rogers Heavily Hit. The firm of Yorke Bros. & Rogers, dealers in men's ready-to-wear goods, suffered heavily, not irom fire, but from quantities of water which leaked from the long lines of hoso which the firemen had to run through tLeir build ing to fight the fire in the Bullard building opposite. Mr. J. F. Yorke stated this morning that the loss to his firm would be in the neighborhood of $10,000. A handsome stock of men's ready- to-wear goods for the spring had just been installed and were arranged for the most part on the coun.ers in the building. Much of this stock of goods was soaked with water. Had members of the firm not been apprised of the fire in. good time, their damage would have been much greater. Members of the firm arrived on the scene abcut 3 o'clock and at once began spreading oil cloths over the goods to prevent their getting wet and removing others to points in the building where there was not so much water pouring from the ceiling above. The fact that there was no means of entrance to the Bullard building, except the front door, compelled the firemen to go into Yorke Bros. & Rogers' building and pull their lines of hose in after them. From the win dows and roof of this building they played several streams of water and really did all the effective fighting of the flame3 they could do from this point Of course there was a great deal of leakage from the hose and this soon formed pools of water on the floors of the building, which dripped through, and in places poured through, on to the costly goods on the, first floor of the building. Flames Hard to Reach. The fire haa made great headway before it was discovered. There was no chance to throw open the front door and combat the flames, as they practically had penetrated to every floor already and there was no way to reach the second floor, except by the stairway and the elevator. The fire had already put the elevator out of commission, of course, and the stairway was likely the first part of the woodwork of the building to catch, as the draft from trie elevator shaft would naturally fan the flaraes in that part of the building where they were fanned into flames in a few minutes. Since the firemen had to project the streams of water into the Bullard building from the Yorke Bros & Rog ers' building across the 10-foot alley way, they could only play the hose on a cross section of the burning build ing, so to speak, at one time. When they went to another window to turn the stream on another section, the one they had left fanned up, of course, with renewed vigor. They only way they could have mad any headway against the fire, considering the start it had got, would have been to se cure ladders high enough to play the hose lengthwise through the long building, or to have had. an aerial truck, such-as the city r has already purchased and will soon have deliver ed, by means of which a stream could have been played from front to back of the building. Five streams of water were 'kept going on the iuames from the time the fire companies arrived, which was only a few seconds af tor the alarm was turned in, until about 4 o'clock, but the fact that the build ing was so constructed and located prevented little being done except con fining the fire within the boundary of four brick walls. Yesterday afternoon Chief Wallace of the fire department - put his forces to work at the task of pumping the ; water out of the basement of the burn-j ed building. A request was sent, toj Salisbury for the suction pump, owing I to the Charlotte fire department's' pump being out of repair, but the local j one was patched iip and was put to work about 5 o'clock yestrlay after noon. It soon was rushing two strong current of water through two-inch the exertion of a potential Influence toward an ultimate pacific result, just and honorable to all Interests con cerned. The spirit of all our acts hitherto has been an earnest, unsell fish desire for peace and prosperity in Cuba, untarnished " by differences between us and Spain and unstained by the blood of American citizens. "'The forcible intervention of the United States as a neutral to stop the war, according to the large dictates of humanity, and following many his torical precedents where neighboring states have interfered to check the hopeless sacrifices of life by interne cine conflicts beyond their borders, is justifiable on rational grounds.. It in volves however, hostile constraint upon both the parties to the contest as well to enforce a truce as to Senator Fall appealed for light on the Mexican situation and referred to a senate resolution asking for infor mation which the president did' not answer on the ground of incompati bility with public interest. Senator Fall continued: "McKinley and other presidents have thought it not incompatible with public interest to furnish this body with similar information, realizing that in a great national crisis this is the one branch of the government which must finally act." Senator Fall picturing conditions in Mexico, included a statement ?3 had received from Emeterio de La Gar za, who came to Washington last year for the Huerta government Quoting from de La Garza's letter re ferring to the contending forces in Mexico, Senator Fall read: " 'Those who now rule in Mexico- -both at the Aztecan capital and that of the revolution are, by their bloody deeds a legion of intoxicated demons who are courting flat fail- our American doctrine and our safe' ty as a nation in jeopardy now?" Senator Fall said the United States had "politically intervened" in Mexico ever since John Ldnd was sent with the ultimatum to Huerta, and declared the United States owed a duty to its citizens and to powers whose citizens had been murdered or outraged. "We owe a duty to the Mexican people themselves: and we owe a duty to humanity which we cannot escape" asserted the senator. "To de ter action is to aggravate the condi tions and invite more eerious consequences." He submitted a memorandum of al leged outrages upon one hundrec American and other foreign citizens in Mexico: FIRE COSTS THREE LIVES IN CLARKSBURG, W. VA. By Associated Press. Clarksburg, W. Va., March 9. Three men were believed to have been kill ed and three fatally hurt today In a fire that destroyed the Lowe buiidinc and damaged the ten story building of the Union National Bank of Clarks. burg.

They drop ped a rope out of the window and had reached the fifth story when water froze on the rops and they slipped off. jumped from the top story of the Lowe building and was crushed. The dead are believed to have been burned with ti'.e Lowe building. ure.' " Much of the Garza letter was crit icism of President Wilson's Mexican policy. The Garza letter continued: " 'Their only aim is to fight, they only take pride in winning, in kill ing, in shooting, and severing heads from bodies, in eating the raw flesh or burying alive their enemies; fe rocity is their natural condition, te merity is their supreme virture. " 'Not a single word about peace, not a single thought about harmony, not a ray of hope about conciliation, not a voice raised in remembrance, not a single soul which would throb in favor of order, country and hu manity. '"The government and the revolu tion both of them are unhealthy and have gone mad, as their aim is none other than to thwart civilization and re-establish barbarism.'
