NEW MURDER “LAST STRAW” IS UNITED STATES' VIEW.

Washington, Nov. 28.—While a further investigation of the facts was under way preparatory to the drafting of an ultimatum by the American government to Mexico in the Jenkins case, news reached the state department of the killing of another American citizen in Mexico. He was James Wallace, shot and killed by Carranzista soldiers near Tampico last Wednesday. The state department immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Details of the latest outrage were lacking, but administration officials did not hesitate to characterize it as “almost the last straw” in the chain of “aggravating” incidents which has occupied the attention of the state department for several months. The Wallace referred to is believed to be E. T. Wallace of the Gulf Refining company, about forty years old, and one of the company’s best men. He had operated for the company in Colombia as well -sa Mexico and went recently to Tampico. Fight tuberculosis. Buy a Health Bond.
