Oil StrucK Near Taylor
Taylor, Tex,, March 11. In an
eight-inch well being drilled on
the Fritz Fuchs farm near
Thrall, eight miles east of Tay-
lor, yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock, a flow of oil was struck
at a depth of 172 feet, when the
eDgine driving the drilling ma-
chinery broke down and opera-
tions ceased until the necessary
repairs are made by the contrac-
tors, J. E. Savoy and S. M.
Lipscomb, who are sinking the
well for a company of Rockdale
promoters.
Mr. Savoy was in Taylor this
morning superintending the re-
pairing of the machinery and ex-
hibited a small bottle of the oil
which flowed into the well when
the stop was made. According
to test. Mr. Savoy thinks the oil
will reach a gravity of 39. At a
depth of 132 feet he. says a
strong flow of gas was obtained.
As a result of this "strike"
great excitement prevails today
at Thrall and many new leases
of land are being taken ud.

Proposed Military Highway Would
Lead From Brownavlllo to El
Paso Along the Rio Grando.
"Washington. Encouragoraont from
several sources camo to tlio commit-
too of eight citizens from Southwest
Toxtta who came to WnBhlngton Uf
urge tho adoption of tho Sheppard
resolution providing for n survoy nnd
$()malo of cost of a military high-
way along' tho Rio Grando from El
T.cmo to Brownavlllo. At tho capltol
Saturday tho senate Butfcommlttoo
pvhtch heard tho Tofans on this pro-
posal mado favorable report to .tho
full commlttco on tho resolution,
Ispoalclng In glowing terms ot tho proj-
itic't. I Tho Bubcommltteo, In recommend-
Jog a favorahlo report, on tho Shep-
pard resolution, sayst "Tho road
would bo & great aid to tho treasury
tlppartmcnt In tho enforcement of tho
ruvonuo laws, and would bo tho causo
ofa great economy In. preventing thO
losses duo to tno constant smuggling
almost imposslblo to suppress entire-
ly, nnd which represents a Joss to
tho treasury department of probably
eomo hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars annually.
"This road would bo of signal nd-
Vantage for strategical purposes and
would aid tho military authorities ef-
fectively in patrolling tho frontier of a
eparsely settled section, a'nd would
provent tho repetition of such out-
rages and murders as recently took
place, and which aro tho subject of
'trials In tho courts of Texas at tho
prosent moment. It would further
provent tho constant pillaging of tho
proporty of American citizens along
itho border by Irresponsible bandits
who aro constantly passing at will be-
tween Texas and Mexico.
"Tho construction of this military
iilghway would in all probability lead
jto the settling up of tho territory
along tho border, and tho protection
Thus afforded would reduco tho cost
of protection of a vast section of the
(territory.
Tho moral effect caused by tho
construction of this road would bo fert
lmmcdiately as being an indication of
what our government Is willing to do
in caso of necessity, and would go a
long wny toward reassuring tho peo-
ple of this border of the ability of tho
government to protect their lives and
property.
I "It appears that tho valuo of such a
road to this government, as a means
of- enabling tho customs authorities
more offectually to patrol tho bordor,
would bo of great valuo in preventing
jtho largo amount of smuggling that is
mow constantly going on in this tor-
rltory, and would further tend to ma-
terially reduce tho number of viola-
tions of the immigration laws, and
,would greatly facilitate, tho operations
,of the postoffico department in its be-
ing a useful and necessary post road;
and wo, your subcommittee, believe
this is an Important means of tho gov-
ernment's protecting its citizens along
the border.
"Your subcommittee has gono thor-
oughly Into this matter and is firmly
.convinced of tho merits of tho prop-
osition." More Raflroads Ask Relief.

;R EDWARD O.REY ANNOUNCE8
FAITH IN UNITED STATES
POLICY TOWARD MEXICO.
TO DEAL FIRMLY WITH CARRAN2A
Covornor Colquitt of Texas Petitions
for Specific Form Asks Secretary
Bryan' Who Is Authority
at Nuevo Leon. '
Washington. Because of tho high-
landed action nnd disregard of other
intlons by tho contending factions in
Mexico and tho determination on tho
other hand of Prcsldont Wilson to
steor a patient course .in tho 'interest
af pence, crises in tho Mexican situa-
tion coino and go .rapidly.
Tho latest critical stago caused by
tho Bonton killing was dissipated
Tuesdny by Sir Edward Grey, tho
minister of foroign affairs, who an-
nounced that Groat Britain -would
bldo her time in endeavoring. .to ob-
tain redress for ttyo .killing of Bonton,
tho British ranchman, by tho consti-
tutionalists. 'Although this govern-
ment had a direct Intimation in advance-
of what Sir Edward Grey would
say on the subject, a groat sigh of re-
lief Went up in administration clrc'les
when tho intimation was verified by
tho cablo reports of tho Biltlsh cabi-
net officer's actual confirmation.
In a diplomatic way tho Bonton case
Is at a standstill. Tho British gov-
ernment has intrusted to tho United
States tho task of getting, at all tho
facts In connection with tho death of
Benton and, according to what Sir
Edward Grey said Tuesday, will let
this government follow its own lines
of Inquiry.
Sir Edward was, howover, equally
explicit in pointing out that if Great
Britain failed to secure satisfaction
through tho United States tho BritiBh
government reserved to itself -tho
right to secure reparation whenever
It was ablo td do so.
Tho promised pronouncement on tho
Mexican situation from the foreign
secretary ,had been anxiously awaited
and was delivered before a keenly in-
terested gathering of tho members of
tho houso of commons.
Intense resentment has been display-
ed throughout the British Isles over
what Is regarded as the attempt on
tho part of Venustlano Carranza, tho
constitutionalist leader, to sqvv 'dis-
cord between England and tho United
States, and also over tho repeated de-
lays In the Investigation in the death
of Benton. .
A commission to investigate the
Benton Case was nppointed Tuesday
by General Carranza. Tho decision
was taken after a long session of tho
provisional cabinet. It was said tlie
death at Juarez of tho British subject,
William S. Benton, had occupied virt
ually all tha attontlon of Carranza
and his advisers.
' "Will you undertake to lnxvo pre-
pared In due form and In harmony
with tho treaties between Mexico and
the United States requisitions upon
the proper, .authorities of the stato
of Nuevo Laredo for surrender of
fugitives from Texas Justice ' named
in complaint?" '
That was the language used by Gov-
ernor Colquitt of Texas Tuesday in
another of a series of telegrams which
tho governor has addressed' to Sec-
rotary of State William Jennings
Bryan in an endeavor to have tho sec-
retary ot state designate specifically
tho authorities in the border state
of Nuevo Leon to whom Texas may
properly address extradition war-
rants. In tho same message to Mr. Bryan,
tho governor reminds tho secretary of
state that his understanding is that
there aro two persons "claiming to be
governor of Nuevo Leon, ono repre-
senting tho Huerta government and
tho other tho Carranza government.
It is because of this apparently dual
'situation that tho governor wants of-
ficial designation as, to Which govern-
ment to apply, likewise he would liko
to have tho correct form for such ex-
tradition application. '
Tho governor's telegram embracos'J
tho complaint filed in Laredo, naming
Captain Apolonlo Rodriguez and thrco
other soldiers, charging them with un
lawfully taking elovon head of horses,
tho property of Clemcnte Vergara,
who is said to have been subsequently
shot and his body thereafter found
hanging to a tree.-
