headed by Representative John Gar
that he believed the committee had
established its contention that the dis
order in the Rio Grande valley had been
fostered by Mexican authorities. Afh-
ravits were submitted to the War De-

set by the Mexicans for the sacking
of Brownsville.
Gen. Funston said that up to the time
the outlawry in the valley was re-

side Of the Rio Grande.
Gen Funston Changes Mind.
But upon presen tation Of q mass Of
evidence he said he was convinced the
committee possessed information which
warranted prompt action. Afhdavits
were shown Gen. Funston tending to
substantiate a report that Gen. Nafar-
rate, Carranza commander at Mata-
moros, had boasted that when the time
came he would plant the Mexican flag
on top of the Brownsville post Office"
While given authority to order such
additional troops rs he deemed neces-

The present sale Is for a few days

the reason why women will long
