place in executive session. The resolu-
tions of Senators Fall and Clark of Wy
oming, asking that the rights of Ameri-
cans to protection in Mexico be emphasiz-
ed, and calling for a complete report on
conditions in Mexico. are expected to be
called up soon, but it is admitted that
both probably will be referred to the Sem
ate foreign relations committee for fur
their consideration.
1t was learned today that the Senate
during its executive session last Saturday
discussed incidentally the general charac-
ter and qualifications of both Generals
Huerta and Villa, senators having more
or less intimate knowledge of their ca
reers being questioned at length by their
colleagues, who sought information for
purposes of comparison.
Considerable interest is manifest at the
capitol in the future of the Constitution
alist movement, and the possibilities of
a stage being reached which might call
for recognition of their belligerency. Ask
ed about the PROBABILITIES of recognizing
the Constitutionalsts. Acting Chairman
Shiveley of the Senate foreign relations
committee said the time had not arrived
for consideration of the matter lie call
ed attention significantly to the fact that
Gen. Villas forces faced an important
battle al Torreon, the result of which
might be important in determining the fu-
ture course of the United States in deal
ing with the Constitutionalists.
One feature of the situation tha is not
being lost sight OF is the financial dis
tress of the Huerta government. and its
default of national obligations. This and
demands for better protection Of foreign
ers are considered likely TO precede pres
sure for some further expression of
American policy.

SURPRISES SERVED OUT
 BY ELECTORS OF MESA
pr. Drane Defeated for Member of High School Board

The electors of the Mesa Union High School district on Saturday handed the organization, if it can be called that, something of a surprise when they re- fused to re-elect Dr. J. E. Drane to position upon the board of trustees of the Union High school. preferring H. B. Morris, by vote of PIP to 152.
 In spite of the rain the interest taken in the election was such as to call out a heavy vote, more than was cast in any other two districts in the county. The tax payers of Mesa are about to erect a new high school building at the cost of approximately $250,000, and this has provoked rivalry both in the mat ter of location and equipment, as well as style of construction. All these things had to do with the vote cast The election for members of the board of trustees for school district number 1, the grammar schools of Mesa, did not show the same sort of surprise however, although the vote was equally heavy. The same is true 1 of the outlying district candidates Tn the district election Robert $. Long | more was chosen by vote of 135 l to II cast fer Cassius NJ. Brnlhall and l F for Warner Allen. Charles Peterson | captured the election as member of the
 board from the outlying district by a vote of POP against 150 for c. M. Hoff- man.
 | The whole election showed the great
 est independence on the part of the
 voters and the scratching pencils were used with great freedom on the printed
 ballots. Especially is this true of the | candidacy of Morris
