Small at the Baptist Church the as
sembiy resolved itself into mass
meeting TO consider a proposition
from the saloon keepers OF Monroe
relative 10 the enforcement OF the
GayShattuck law. The Grand Jury ut
its recent session gave notice to the
saloon men that the Gay-ShattuCk
law would in future be enforced. No
indictments We're returned at that
time as the violations Of the past had
la"u ~ common consent of officials
and people. Following this warning
IN" saloon men held a meeting in
which they decided to live up strictly
to the letter Of the law as it was not
their desire to bring up any fight. \
conference was held with representa-
tiycs OF the prohibition forces and a
proposition was made to separate
white and negro bars by a partition

on the premises than to be forced to
sell a whole bottle TO the consumer
in III" streets and alleys. This propo-
sitiOn was to be submitted TO the pro-
hibItion people and as there was a

as Aids to Carranza Forces.

Nashington.-The problem of Sc
curing protection for American life
and property in Mexico. revived by
he Santa ISabel murders, is expected
10 be a dominant subject in the pro-
ceedings of Congress. Issues arising
from the European war have been
completely overshadOwed by it and
other important legislative measures
under consideration are not drawing
ordinary attention.
There is sure to be more of the fer
vid discussion OF the Mexican prob
lem that enlivened sessions of the
past week. Members unanimously
insist the Santa Ysabel bandits be
punished, but the majority opposes
intervention.
Mexico will be the basis Of formal
consideration by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. when the nomi-
nation of Henry Fletcher as ambassa-
dor to General Carranza's government
will be taken up. Opposition semi
tors will oppose confirmation vigor-
ousIy and it generally is admitted
nothing can be done toward cOntirma-
tion until the Republicans have been
appeased by an aswer from President
Wilson to Senator Falls resolution
asking for reasons which led to rec
ognition of CarranaZa.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Demo
crat. is considering submitting reso-
luton to direct the use of American
armed forces as aids to the Carranza
