that the statements are unfounded.

Senator Fall declared that in sew
eral mining camps in Mexico owned
by Americans and where there were
hundreds of American citizens. the
miners had banded together. armed
themselves and served notice on the
Mexican government that they wouIi
pI otect themselves.
"The Madero government can not

that persecution and killing of Amer

armed themselves and were ready to
cross to Mexico to protect Americans
Senator Fall declared that as Presi-
dent Madero had recognized the bel
