Secretary Garrison took a hand In
the affair, telegraphing General Bliss,

river The army is involved because
had the military authorities known IN

been Obliged by the terms OF their
standing orders TO prevent the Texans
from crossing. General Bliss replied
that he was having an Investigation

While Mr.. Bryan refused TO divulge

The I'D was lifted from the Mexican
situation In the senate.
Senator Fall OF New Mexico i'm the
presence OF full senate and with the
galleries crowded made a speech
which for the most part was a recital
of outrages against Americans and
American property interests that is
likely to become historic.
The senator spoke In dispassionate
manner. He did not assail the admin
istration except by duplication. He
pointed out what he believed to be the
only road leading to restoration Of
peace and order in that republic.
He came out unequivocally i'm favor
s Of Intervention with the land and naval
forces OF the United States to protect
American lives and property and the
lives and property OF other foreigners
In Mexico for whom the senator be-
iieves the government of the United
States is answerabie.
AT Falls conclusion Senator Shive-
ley of Indiana made reply for the ad-
ministration, consuming more than an
hour and Senator Sheppard OF Texas
In brief speech declared that the
people OF Texas approved of the policy
of President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan and that Governor Colquitt
would not speak for the people II
Texas.
q Senator shiveley chided Senator
B Fall Tor taking the lid off. He said
Mr. Fails speech could just as well
have been delivered in executive ses-
sion and accused the senator of pur-
posely seeking 10 arouse the country
by a recital OF horrors.
