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.

Raids and Deportations Have Se
rious Effect Among Foreign-Born.
Million May Go in 1920.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17. 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.

cludes in its ranks more than 400

spond to our country's call in time
of need. And this we propose doing
by assisting In the maintenance of a

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."

of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. medical
director, the occasion being the 15th
anniversary of the signing of the con

the care, custody and treatment of the

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

government wards to be cared for
from Alaska during that time has in
creased materially.

ment, to accomplish the following
objects:
"To offset bolshevist propaganda
among the foreign-born through nation-wide
educational activities.
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

the prospect, to quote the immigra

York, that immigration for 1920 will
be less than one-third normal.
"The raids and deportations are not

the apparent discrimination is unset

are aimed at the destruction of our
government by force, is arrested and

she passed the examination leading to
her employment, is under scrutiny by
W. 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.

IS YOUR DAUGHTER PALE?
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.
