8. THE SUNDAY OREGOMAX. PORTLAND, JANUARY 18, 1020 MEXICAN WITNESSES TO BE PROTECTED Secret Hearings by Senate Planned as Safeguard. OBJECTIONS CAUSE DELAYS Testimony on Robberies, Outrages and Oppression of Americans Heard by Committee. SAN ANTONIO. Tex.. Jan. 17. Mexico's objections to Mexicans testi fying before the senate sub-committee investigating affairs in that coun try will result in an increased num ber of executive sessions. Mexicans will be asked to testify and in cases where they fear the results, such a protection as a secret hearing can afford will be offered. At least one witness today was a Mexican. Most of the testimony taken In a closed session today related to rob beries, outrages and oppressions in flicted upon Americans. In the open hearings C. L. Gardener of Hot Springs, Ark., gave the details of the working of the "gran liga," a radical railway labor organization formed during the latter part of Diaz' rule and which attained greater strength under Carranza. It was largely due to influence of ihat organization that he ascribed the substitution of Mexican railroad men for Americans. Article Trared lo Hall. Part of tho committee's time was taken today in examining witnesses regarding the sources of an Interna tional News Service article that orig inated Imre but was "killed" before. pu micaiion. i ne writer cited Uuiller- nio Hall as the one responsible for I he statements made. Hall is the di rector of the Mexican trade bureau of the local chamber of commerce. The article questioned was that secret service agents of Mexico were investigating .the record of Senator Fall with the object of ascertaining what business he has in- Mexico, and the statement that he was said to be interested jn the affairs of the Ter razas family. Hall denied responsi bility for the statements, although a woman appeared as a witness, saying he had so informed her. The incident of the recent receipt by Mexico of arms and ammunition also received some attention by the committee. There was placed before it information contained in a Mexican newspaper of January 13 that 18 car loads of arms- and ammunition had reached Mexico from Pacific ports, where it was disembarked. The ship ment came from Japan and. the paper added, another that had been con tracted for was coming from Spain. Senator Kail Makes Reply. Senator Fall testified regarding his Interests in Mexico. He did it to refute an editorial reference in a Texas newspaper to his holdings there. Senator Fall said his sole prop erty interest now in Mexico was 975. 000 worth of mining stock he had as his share in settling the estate of a former partner many years ago. He denied he ever had been the attorney for Luis Terrazas or any member of his family except on one occasion as a friendly act he had assisted in obtain ing the release from jail of General Terrazas' son. The son had been held by rebels at Chihuahua. In making his statement he said he was breaking a silence of eight years on that subject. He explained that he went to Mexico first in 1883, locating In Zacatecas. He left the country in 1906. At that time he gave up all his interests. leetle one like so." And he meas ured an imaginary line on the desk. "I got me, Maria and tree keeds. Maybe you got me a still how you say familee size." Yes, I think I can fit you out," said Taggart. He went into Police Chief Dean's office, returning with a two-quart toy of polished copper. guaranteed to make the joyous elixir out of anything from raisins to prunes and potato peelings. The man at the counter examined the apparatus witb great care, satis- taction growing on his face. "I take it," he announced. "Maybe it is too little. Those kids is you know greedy. But I make him run all the time how much you want money for him?" "Let's see," said Taggart. "It will PORTLAND BANn; EMPLOYE ENTERS ADVERTISING FIELD.

Raids and deportations have so unsettled the foreign-born population that hundreds employed in basic industries are pre paring to leave the United States, ac cording to the inter-racial council, which tonight announced launching of a campaign "to make aliens better understood and to lift them from the status of mere cogs in a machine to the status of human beings." The council, of which Coleman T. Dupont is chairman and which in cludes in its ranks more than 400 leading financial and industrial or- spond to our country's call in time of need. And this we propose doing by assisting In the maintenance of a liundred-per cent Americanism based on fair play and a square deal for all. he members of organized labor are patriotic American citizens, and the members of the American Legion arc patriotic American citizens who have proved their patriotism and their loyalty. Consequently, in the pur poses of the American Legion both they and we are in accord. Many of our most loyal members are members or organized labor, and it is our hope that we may convince every ex-serv ice man who is a member of organized labor that our purposes are those of loyal citizens. All ex-service men who are members of organized labor have proved their loyalty to the country and now appreciate their responsibil ities as citizens, and we therefore hope it will not be long before they all are active members of the Amer ican Legion."

It was 15 years ago January IS that the original contract was signed and about 30 patients were received at the hospital for care. The contract was for 15 years only, and yesterday a second contract, this time for five years, was signed with the depart ment of the interior. The number of government wards to be cared for from Alaska during that time has in creased materially. A record of which special mention is made, ana or wnicn tne nospitai officials express unusual satisfaction is that made during the influenza epi demic of a year ago.

To promote better relations among the races in America by presenting the side of the foreign-born" and "translating America to them in terms which they will understand. "To end unrest among the foreign born in industry." Million Prepare to Go. "The recent raids and the deporta tion of aliens who have urged the destruction of government by force are being interpreted by many of the foreign-born as a campaign of repression against the foreign-born in general," said a statement by the council. "Hundreds of these foreign-born, employed in ba.-sic industries, are throwing down their tools prepara tory to leaving the United States. "The average annual emigration for the four years before the war was 594.800. According to United States immigration authorities, 1.125,000 for-cign-born will leave America. An in vestigation made by the inter-racial council disclosed that the following would probably leave as soon as con ditions permit: "Poles. 300.000: Italians. 300,000 Russians, 150,000; Hungarians, 150.000; Jugo Slavs. 100,000; Czecho-Slovaks, 60,000: Lithuanians, 50,000; Ukrain ians. 50.000; Greeks, 40,000, and other races to the number of 200.000, making a grand total of 1.400.000. mostly unskilled laborers from mines and factories. Industry Sbort of Labor. "Added to this condition is the sig nificant fact, proved by official fig ures, that American industry is short 4,000.000 immigrants in the field of primary labor, owing to the tremen dous falling off of immigration dur ing the last five years; and there is the prospect, to quote the immigra tion authorities of the port of New York, that immigration for 1920 will be less than one-third normal. "The raids and deportations are not alone unsettling the foreign-born; the apparent discrimination is unset tling them. The person of foreign birth, participating in activities which are aimed at the destruction of our government by force, is arrested and held for deportation. whereas an American who may bo employed In the same radical organization and a participant in the same ultra-radical activities, is not molested.

L. Bennett, supervisor for the census in this district. vUnder the law, he is not permitted to make public her name until authorized to do so. He has telegraphed for this while further investigating her case. Mr. Bennett came into touch with the case because the enumerator could get no satisfaction from the woman, who is about 42 years old, and the facts in the case were re ported to him. He has succeeded thus far in getting nothing more definite from her than the facts stated. " 'I don't know' and 'I don't remem ber," are this woman's favorite ex pressions." said Mr. Bennett yester day. "She doesn't know when she came to this country from Germany; doesn't know when she was natural ized; doesn't know how she passed the civil service tests, although she thinks it was in Washington. D. C. I am not going to stand for this kind of nonsense in my district and have reported to Washington for orders, I including permission to use her name publicly." This is the only case of any serious portent in this district during the taking of the census, Mr. Bennett says. FAMOUS SLEUTH IS DEAD Edward ti. Gibson, Born in 1860, in Portland, Dies in South.

Does she inherit a delicate organi zation from you? The anemia of young girls may be inherited or it may fee caused by bad air, lack of proper food, insufficient out-of-door exercise, hasty and irregular eating and not enough rest and sleep. It comes on gradually, beginning with languor, indisposition to mental or bodily exertion, irritability and a feeling of fatigue. Later come palpi tation of the heart and headache. In a majority of cases constipation is present. Often the patient craves un usual thing3 to eat. such as starch or chalk. There may be no loss of flesh but the complexion takes on a greenish-yellow tint. There is no need to worry in a case of this kind. The treatment is easy and simple. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, non-alcoholic and free from any harm ful drug, are just the tonic to remedy this condition. Improvement begins with the first dose. As the blood is made rich and red the peculiar pallor leaves the face, strength and activity gradually return and if the treatment is continued until the last symptom disappears the danger of relapse is slight. A booklet, "Building Up the Blood." which tells all about this treatment, will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady. N. Y.
