Whole Situation.
RESOLUTION OFFERED
President Still Weighing Facts
Placed Before Him by AM
s,t. baSSador Wilson.

Washington, D. c., July 29.-Investi-
cation OF conditions in Mexico by a
joint congressional committee was pro-
posed inaa resolution today by Repre-
sentative Stephens OF Texas. Five
senator's and five representatives
would examine all diplomatic CORES
pondence and other documents in re-
lation to the situation. :
Washington, D. c., July 29.-Ambas-
sador Wilson resumed his conferences
today with Secretary Bryan on the
Mexican situation.
President Wilson had no announce
ment to make today about the policy
to pursue toward Mexico, but there is
every reason to believe no steps are
to be taken by this country pending
the outcome of plans being laid by
leading Mexicans to bring about peace.
The fact that some mediators inter-
ested in adjusting differences between
the followers of Huerta and Carranza
were instrumental in persuading Por-
fro Dia3 to abdicate, is encouraging
officials to believe their efforts may
bring about the resignation of Presi-
dent Huerta.
If Huerta will abdicate, men as ac.
ceptable to him as to the constitutions
alists have been tentatively selected
from whom his successor would be
named.
Ambassador Wilson will appear be.
fore the senate foreign relations com
mittee tomorrow and give his views on
the Mexican situation.
ORDERS PRISONERS FREED.
Charles Bissel and Bernard McDon-
aid, mine managers, held by Mexican
federals under sentence of death at
Chihuahua, have been ordered released
by the Hcerta government.

EXTORTION PLOT
seen IN A DEATH
Feeling Against Foreign Stu
dents Is Aroused at the
State University.

Champaign, IL, July 29.-The death
of Margaret Trainor at Clinton on
Thursday, following an illegal oper-
alton, while creating great sensation,
is not regarding as indicating any con-
dition of immortality among Univer-
sity of Illinois students.
On the other hand, said a member
of the faculty, it means that some of
the freedom of the coed" will be
taken away and that girls will be urg-
ed to stay IN the new dormitory plan
ned at a cost of 100000, unless they
reside in a club house.
Another inquiry will likely be made
into the morals Of foreign students.
No color line has been drawn by the
university and twin-city girls. They
have kept company" with South
Americans. Mexicans and Fill.
pinos. Those who claim to know, say
that the morals of the foreign quota
Is just as high as that of the native
born, but the developments in the case
Of the Trainor girl mean that the for.
eign student will not be welcomed SO
eagerly.
Margaret Trainor came to the Uni
versity of Illinois last February. She
was a daughter of Mrs. S. r. BIanch
ard of Ottumwa, trained nurse. Miss
Trainor had previously attended the
institution a year. She was not a
member of an organization and was
not generally known. She bore a good
reputation, according to the pastor Of
her denomination.
Angel Gambia, 20 years old, scion oi
wealth Porto Ricans, has been here
for year studying chemistry Gambia
tall and dark, is a romantic figure. His
purse was always we'll filed.
Gambia and the coed" met-all evi
| dence being that she was the moving
power in the introduction. They were
together a few times in June. The
| next thing Gambia knew, he says. was
when the girl, DR.. H. E. Price of Clin
ton and Rayburn Wilson, an attorney
came to Champaign and made de
mands which resulted in Gambia Civ
ing DR.. Price a note for $500. TIL,
| money, he says, was to be used for the
care Of the girl.
Despite the efforts of four physicians
Miss Trainor died in the arms of hel
mother last Thursday. She had beer
az hotel since July IA. Suspicion
pointed at once to DR.. Price, as he hat
attended her. Gambia was arrested il
Champaign. His first words were, 81
she dead?" He admitted imprope
relations with the girl.
Gambia has been able to secure tn
aid of strong friends, who do not be
lieve that he sent the girl to he
death. They think he was the victir
OF conspiracy to effort money.
DR.. Price has been held in bonda c
$4,000 and Gambia in bonds of IS, ,00l
to await the action Of the De Wit
county grand jury at Clinton.

There is some doubt, however. as to
whether the meet will take place on the
local track next year. For the last two
seasons the meets were held here. There
has, however, been some complaint by
the more southern Of the colleges as to
the great distance that they had to
travel to compete. For this reason
plans were early put on foot to try to
have the meet scheduled to take place
either in Richmond or Charlottesville,
on the tracks of the Richmond College
or Of the University OF Virginia. Should
the meet be held in one of these places
the more distant colleges. such as Ag-
