troops over the Bulgarian frontier to
occupy the strip Of territory from
Silistria ON the Danube to Varna on
the Black sea, which she claiinel lin
order to re-establish the balance of
power" The trouble between the
allies arose from the difficulty ot di-
viding the territory captured by them
from Turkey.

thousands Of men were killed or
wounded. Soon after the beginning
of hostilities numerous massacres
and acts Of pillage were reported to
have been committed by the various
armies The Montenegrin troops
never came into action duriag the
period Of hostiiities, although they
also were nominally at war with Bul-

should not prove difficult. Both re-
publicans and progressives have been
influenced for a generation by the
same politics and thought. The pro

Attacks COTTON CLAUSE

Washington, Aug. 6.-Attacking the
cotton schedule of the tariff bin in
the senate today Senator Lippett Of
Rhode Island, declared that it worb ed
against the luxury Of New England In
favor of southern-made necessaries.
1T is bill made by southerners. .
said he. The rates are out of bal
ance. They are just the capricious
and haphazard result Of a desire to do
something and in the shuttle cotton
got the worst of it, very much more
than worts of it than was meant or
understood"
Senator Lippett proposed as a sub
stitute for the cotton schedule the
rates of the Dingley bill less 20 per
cent, which would leave the average
duties of 9O.4 per cent as against the
rates in the pending bill ranging from
TX to 80 per cent.

HAY REFoRE coMMlrrEE

Washington, Aug. 6.-ColoneI Eduar-
do Hay, chief of staff of the constitu-
tionalist forces in Sonora, gave to the
senate foreign relations committee to-
day a detailed account Of his views
on conditions in Mexico. The consti-
tutionalist movement, he declared,
controlled at least two-tnirds Of Mex
leo.
Though he made no recommends
tions, Colonel Hay insisted that inter-
vention by the United States would
make things worse and that any me-
diation which recognized the govern
ment Of Huerta was impossible. His
idea of the solution Of the situation
was to lift the embargo on arms so
that the constitutionalists could car
ry on more active campaign. Then,
he declared, troubles in Mexico soon
would be settled.

Las Vegas optic. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1908-1921, 1913-08-06

Washington, Aug. President
Wilson'S action in sending former
Governor John Lind to Mexico as a
special emissary in the present stu
alton was attacked in the senate to-
day by Senator Clark Of Wyoming,
who declared something else must be
done by the administration to guaEan-
tee adequate protection to Americans.
Senator Clark presented a resolu-
tion for an immediate investigation
by the senate foreign relations com
mittee of the condition Of American
citizens and American property in
Mexico.
This resolution is not introduced in
a spirit of hostility to the administra-
ton or Of criticism Of the foreign re-
lations committee, declared the sen
ator, but conditions are growing
steadily worse in Mexico. Now we
learn that Governor Lind has been
sent there by President Wilson.
THAT does not satisfy. Mr. Lind
does not go as the official represent
ative of the United States, He does
not go as an American ambassador
cloaked with authority to represent
the United States. He cannot be ap-
pealed to by American citizens for
protection. Some other steps are
necessary to give to Americans and
American property the protection
they need and are demanding.
Senator Sheppard presented a sum
mary of the strength or the consti-
tutionalist forces in Mexico He de-
clared the senate should have com
plete knowledge Of the number Of
constitutionalist leaders. the troops
they could muster, the extent Of the
territory controlled and the extent
Of their equipment. Senator -shep-
pard's report showed that the -consti-
nationalist leaders had followers num-
bering between 10000 ana 10000 and
that they we're in possession Of far
more than half Of Mexico
I'VE are unable to ger exact and
definite information" said Senator
Clark, "about conditions in Mexico.
Evidence still continues, however to
show that American property is being
destroyed every day, that American
citizenship is being disnonored tnsre
and even officers Of the American
government are being shot down. It
is no purpose Of this resolution to
place the responsibility for these out
RACES. It is to obtain information. /
know there is a disposition at times
to regard such information confiden-
tial, but in my Judgment that is not
the proper course now because it is
no secret that other nations than our

Governor Suffers campaign fund, un-

ton committee, we're at least $1,000
more than his sworn statement repre-
sented them to be according to the tes-
timony Of bank officials and others to-
day at the resumption of the commit
tee hearings. Counsel for the COM
mittee sought to show that the COVER
nor had purchased 20 shares of rail
road stock on October 22, 1912 paying
cash for them, and to establish con-
nection between this transaction and
the contributions re failed to include
in his sworn statement. Witnesses
met such inquirers with flat refusals
to answer. Senator Frawley chair
man Of the committee was of the opin-
ion that the testimony shows that the
governor has bought the stock. Eu-
gene L. Richards, counsel for the com
mittee, thought otherwise
The contributions alleged to have
been made to the governors campaign
fund but not mentioned in his state
ment, as brought out today, were as
follows:
William F. McCombs, chairman Of
the democratic national committee,
$500 on october 9. 1912; Henry Nor
genital, treasurer Of the democratic
national committee, $1,000, on octo-
ber 5, 1912; John Lynn, New York,
$500 on October %, 1912; Jacob H.
schiff, $4,000; obraham I. Elkus, $500.
Some of the checks, which were pro-
duced, we're deposited in the Mutual
Alliance Trust company and some in
the Farmers Loan and Trust compa-
ny both of this city. The former was
that used by L. A. Sarecky, Governor
Suffers confidential secretary, for
campaign contributions. Its books
showed total deposits to Suffers ac-
count Of $12,4O5 between October
and November 12, 1912. All was
drawn out except $3.50. There were "a
separate checks, according to these
dispositions, and $4,000 in cash. Gov
ernor. sulzer's sworn list contained 6S
contributors and totaled $5,46O, Mr..
Richards asserted.
The attempt to connect Mr.. Sulzer
with the purchase Of 200 shares of
Big -Four railroad stock on October
%, was made through questioning Ar
thur A. Fuller. of the New York stock
exchange firm Of Fuller and Gray, con-
cerning an unnamed account desig- T
mated as Account No. 800" Mr.. Fuller
refused point blank to answer the
question and was directed to remain
under subpoena till the courts can
decide if he must answer. The com
mittee adjourned this afternoon to
meet tomorrow moning.
