WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Senator Penrose, it was learned to-day, will charge on the floor of the Senate that more than 1,000 Americans have been killed in Mexico since the presfnt “reign of terror” began. The Senator will cite as his authority Governor Colquitt of Texas. Governor Colquitt’s amazing charges as to what has occurred in Mexico are in the hands of several Senators and members of the House. He says: “With scores of American women mistreated and 1,000 American citi zens murdered; with pillage, black mail and ransom on every hand in defiance of American citizenship, the situation in Mexico is beyond endur ance. “If Huerta tells President Wilson to play his next cord it mean? he will have to invade Mexico or stultify himself or his State Department. President Wilson will have to fight or make a joke of his State Depart ment and a rag of his nation’s honor. “When I say scores of American women have been ill-treated by Mex icans. I speak the truth absolutely. I personally know' of such instances in which the victims were acquaint ances of mine or my personal friends. “Texas has 900 miles of border on the Mexican frontier. It has been my business to protect Texas citizens from Mexican outrages, and I have done so with a firm hand. I got more satisfaction from President Taft than I do from President Wilson. "The handling of the Mexican situ ation is a farce. Texas will take care of her own citizens at all hazards, and the United States can do as it pleases. But let the Mexicans keep their hands off our citizens end out women.” Fire Marshal Joyner Inspects Columbus COLUMBUS, Sept. 9.—Columbus will be inspected by the executive committee of the Georgia Fire Pre vention Society Thursday and Fri day.
