Intervention
IN MEXICO
DENIED
FALL SAYS ENTIRE TROUBLE IN
SOUTHERN REPUBLIC ARISES
FROM ATTEMPTS OF SOCIALISTS
TO DOMINATE
INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
OF WORLD CENSURED

Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. Ex-senator
A. B. Fall denied today that he and
Senator William Alden Smith, of the
special senate committee investigat-
ing conditions in Mexico, had decided
to recommend Intervention. He added
that no preliminary report had or
would be made until the conclusion
of the investigation. Senator Smith
is tn California and Senator Fall here
continuing the probe.
Senator Fall declared today that the
committee investigations on the Pa
cific coast resulted in securing evil
dence that the so-called socialist ele-
ment was attempting to unseat Presi-
dent Madero after assisting in exilinG
ex-President Diaz, and that plan was
to set up socialist government in
, Mexico. He declared that some evil
dence showed that certain labor and
political elements in the United States
were assisting, secretly, the Mexican
socialists to this end.
THE Industrial Workers of the
World and the Western Federation of
Miners were mentioned in the evil
dence," declared Senator Fall.
Austin, Texas, Sept. 30.-Governor
Colquitt has withdrawn permission

point on the border over Texas soil.
He announced today he did not care

Washington, D. c., Sept. 3o.-Tht
senate subcommittee renewal OF the
investigation of presidential cam
paign contributions today marked tht
beginning of hearings that were eX
pected to bring many OF the Leading
fnanciers, politicians and candidates
to the witness stand during the neX'
two months. Colonel Theodore Roose
welt and j. Pierpont Morgan were
scheduled to step into the spotlight
later this week, the financial appar'
ing Thursday and Colonel Roosevelt
OF Friday. Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr.
son of the treasurer of the republican
campaign committee in 1904, was the
first witness. He said he was an exc
cutor of his fathers estate and had
sole custody of his fathers papers:
Have you found any papers bear
ing on the campaign funds handled by
YOUR father" asked Chairman Clapp.
Mr.. Bliss placed in evidence re-
port from the auditor who examined
his fathers accounts when he resign
ed as treasurer of the republican COM
mittee. He said the records did not
show any contribution by John u.
Archbold or the Standard Oil COM
pany.
Mr.. Bliss was asked to read his
fathers letter of resignation to Harry
s. New. which also had been placed
in evidence.
The letter set forth that the late Mr..
Bliss had held as confidential the
names of contributors and the amount
of their contributions in the last four
political campaigns in which l have
acted as treasurer"
The letter added that the republican
committees receipts in 1900 had been
"a trihe below s3,0O0,0OO in 1896, 49,
500 900, and in 1892, $1,6O0,OO0. The
witness said he had discovered three
other letters of personal and more
or less intimate nature. These ne
handed to Chairman Clapp. One was
from President Roosevelt; one from
William H. Taft, as secretary of war.
The committee members read the
letters privately.
Later the contents of two of the let
ters become known. That from Sec
retary Taft, written May 6, 1904, urged
the late Mr.. Bliss to take the chair
manship, saying President Roosevelt
was most anxious" for it, and adding
that as chairman. Mr.. Bliss would "se-

cure the confidence of those from
whom the contributions may be eX
pected.
The letter FROM President Roose
gelt, dated the same, also urged him
to take the place.
Under the examination by Senator
| Faynter, the witness said that his
father had told him he allowed the
books of the treasurer's office of the
republican national committee to be
destroyed because he, the elder Bliss,
believed the records useless.
The witness couldn't remember hav-
ing talked with his father about the
much discussed 100000 Standard Oil
contribution.
A vigorous cross-examination by
Senator Pomerene failed to shake his
statement. Mr.. Bliss then was ex-
cused and William H. Libby, of New
York, foreign representative of the
Standard Oil company, was sworn in.
Chairman Clapp asked Mr. Libby il
he had anything to do with advising
the company about legislative affairs.
"Only as to tariff matters, when it
was threatened to exempt the Stand
ard Oil company from the protective
tariff" replied Mr.. Libby.
81 did not see any members of con-
gress on the tariff matters" asked
Senator Pomerene.
Mr.. Libby could not remember what
public officials he had talked with,
but thought that probably he had dis
cussed it with President Taft and Of
ficials of the state department. He
said he would produce any letters
written in that connection if he could
find them.

campaign contributions asked Sena-
tor Pomerene.

This concluded lLr. Libby's testi-
mony.
1t was announced that Ormsby Nc
Harg's testimony had been postponed
until Tuesday, October 8.
Chairman Clapp said: "The COM
mittee was not ready for him.
1t was announced that J. G. Cannon,
president of the Fourth National bank
of New York, would be summoned. 1t
was said he made the audit OF the ac'
counts of the elder Cornelius N. Bliss,
presented to the committee today.

the new Columbus statue unveiled In
Washington on June 8. This marks
the first great memorial which the
United States government has erect
ed to Christopher Columbus.
There has long been a feeling that
this country has not had a really
worthy monument to the man who is
primarily responsible for the exist.
ence Of the nation.
The feeling took concrete shape
when, in 1906. Representative James
A. Goulden Of New York introduced
a bill approprlating the sum of $780,
900 to be used for Columbus memo
rial. Congress passed the bill and 1t
was signed In 1907 by President

this continent to commemorate the
achievement of Columbus.
1t is unfortunate that there is no
contemporaneous painting or likeness
Of Columbus e1tant. For this reason
artists who have attempted to repro
duce his lineaments in marble have
been at a great disadvantage.
AS a matter OF fact the accepted
likeness Of the admiral is after the
manner Of being an idealistic con.
ception. All are familiar with the
strong. clean.shaven face from which
deep, expressive eyes look out under
a broad brow. The deep lines from
the nose to the corners OF the moth
are also Characteristic OF the popular
portraits Of Columbus. Who would
recognize the discoverer depicted
with gray beard! Yet 1t is more
