Wilson Administration Watching Mex ican Situation Closely. Wash ingtQiC Sept. 29. The Admin.- jstration has reluctantly concluded that at present ther is no Constitu tional means of opening communica tiim, on an official basis, with the In suri'.cnt factions in Mexico. This fact developed today as result of inquiry as to whether John Lind was about to jet in communication with the Const! tutionahsts, with a view to securing igreements from them to respect the truce, while problems over the elec tions in Mexico were under way. The Administration is much inter ested in the bringing forward of new candidates for presidential nomina tion, though not willing to express any opinion as to the significance of those entries in their bearing on settlement of the question as to whether the Huerta Government is genuinely com plying with the desire of the United States for a free and fair election.

The ghastlysight of two bodies, hanging from roofs tied to a coal chute, was the only outward sign today of the riot that cost six lives here vestArdnv . Those seriously injured were all alive today, but grave fears were felt for E. B. Appleby, who was shot by one of the Jones boys desperadoes. As a lesson to those criminally bent, the bodies of Walter and Will Jones were left hanging all night, where they were strung up yesterday. The two drug-crazed mulatto boys, brothers, 'yesterday morning began a. regn of terror, which ended after three white men, two negro men and a negro woman had bean killed, sever al wounded and the two boys lynched. A serious clash between races was prevented by the arrival of a company of National Guardsmen from Natchez. The trouble started at about 2 o'clock Sunday morning and rrm.l tinued intermittently until about 10 o'clock today when Walter Jones, the elder of the two boys, who started the firing, was lynched just after the soldiers arrived. His brother Will hadiheen shot by citizens earlier In the day. Soon after people who had barricaded themselves in their homes cautiously began to emerge from their hiding places and by noon the town was quiet. No more trouble is feared. How It Started. The shooting was started in the negro quarters by Walter Jones, aged 20, when a negro woman 'and Thad GrayBon werp fyt and kUled. v. Wilder then went to the home of his mother an4;MQM8fbMtf brother 18 jreai dULI Together they proceeded through the4f fidied Main street of the little town, .firing at every one in sight. Citizens aroused by the shots peered out of the win dows and then hastened to cover be- ieving, they said today, that riots of more serious proportions had broken out. The two boys went to the home of former Constable Frank Keinsley, and when he replied ta their call, Walter Jones shot him through the head. Death was instantaneous. Keinsley's son, William, when he" saw his father rected fire on Claude Freeman, who was waiting for a train to take him to his home at Fayette, Miss. He was instantly killed. The negroes thenx fired into the train, terrorizing 'the passengers. War On Sleeping Car. A sleeping car from Natchez Is left every night at Harriston until the through train from Memphis to New Orleans arrives. After the train from Natchez left, this car stood alone at the track and Was a target for the fire of the two negroes. While many windows were broken no one in the car was hurt.
