feet would be the same as that given the central powers.
 Discussion of the advisability of leg islative action approving the course of the president in sending his note occupied the senate for more than an hour and will be resumed tomorrow. Action was delayed by unanimous consent because republican senators insisted that the question was too im- portant to be disposed of hastily and should be considered by the foreign relations committee
 Interest attached to statements dur ing debate by Senator Stone, chair man of the foreign relations commit tee. who had an hours conference yes terday with President Wilson. In this connectiOn administration officials took pains to make clear that the pres ident did not seek action by congress, though of course he would not like to see proposal to endorse his policy defeated.
 The discussion began when Senator Hitchcocks resolution to approve the note, introduced just before the holi- day recess, automatically came up be- fore the senate for consideration. Democratic leaders, including Sena-
 
 should be passed without delay or pro- longed debate, in order that the presi- dents proposition might be given ap- proval by coordinate branch of the government which has authority in in- lernational affairs
 Senator Lodge, ranking republican member of the foreign relations com mittee, Senator Gallinger. the minor ity leader, Senator Borah, and other republican senators vigorously insisted that Senator Hitchcock consent to let the matter go to the foreign relations committee for careful consideration They did not oppose the purpose of the resolution, but expressed the view that the proposed action was fraught with such international importance that 1t should not be acted upon with out very careful consideration of all phases of the war situation and not until q senate committee had oppor- tunity to study the exchanges oi belligerents and neutral governments which have followed the original leu | Continued on Page Two)

BELIEVED NOW FURTHER NORK
 BE ABANDONED

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-When
 the American members of the
 Mexican American joint comms-
 sion had finished consideration
 today of General Carranza's reply
 failing to comply with their de-
 mand that the protocol providing
 for withdrawal of the American
 troops from Mexico, be ratified,
 there were indications that efforts
 to enter into an agreement with
 the de facto government through
 the commission would be aban-
 uoned. For the first time an of-
 ficial admission was made that
 Carranza had refused to sign the
 protocol. The commissioners said
 they expected to draft their re-
 Spcnse to Carranza tomorrow.
 The failure of the commission to
 dive to Mexican American rela-
 tions a brighter aspect was offset
 somewhat by official intimations
 that Henry P. Fletcher. confirmed
 as ambassador to Mexico almost
 year ago. was about to start for
 his post where American interests
 are now represented by 3 clerk.
 The report that General Persh-
 inp's expedition socn would be
 withdrawn regardless of Carran-
 za's attitude, also gained fresh
 moetus and it was understood the
 administration had this move un-
 der way very serious considera-
 ton.
 Mir Fletcher conferred with Presi s4a1f XN~5IeH, meeting and later referred inauirie as to " neither he would go to Mexio. to President Wilson and Secretar, Lansing. Ne statement was forth coming from the White House or tn state department.
 Secretary Baker said no plans fo immediate withdrawal of the troop had been considered It is known however, that army officers ar pressing strongly for their recall con tending that N their present position they cannot dn effective work towar. protecting the border: that they ar, in a bad strategic position and shoul, be brought out and distributed alonl the border with plans perfected fo sending a force across the line at som, more desirable point if the occasion should arise in the future.

in the city Thursday to assume his duties in the Campbell administration. Doane Merrill, of Benson, who was the republican candidate for state auditor has been named as citizen member of the board of control Under the Camp bell regime the board of control will consist of Governor Campbell Auditor Jesse Boyce and Citizen Member Merrill
 Hunt has made no move to name appointees to fill vacancies. There may be some interesting times if two boards of control attempt to meet to transact the same business. It is gen. orally believed, however, that no state business requiring the presence of either claimant to the governorship will be done until there is an expression by the courts regarding the mandamus brought by Judge Sloan against MT. Hunt.
 The contest, SO called, will of course proceed. Apparently the Campbell clan will see no halting that interesting inspection until the last bally ballot has been looked at. Meanwhile, in re- sponse to the courts order and some days following it, the Hunt bondsmen, Homer Wood and A. E. Williams, have increased his surety from s2,000 to $6000.

One theory of the police is that another of Miss Colbert's admirers learned of the reconciliation and began jealous quarrel that ended with the girls death.
 The police today tried to locate the Pennsylvania graduate but did not succeed
 The authorities are now convinced that a wealthy clubman from another city, who had been under suspicion, is not the slayer A further examination today showed that the girl was beaten and kicked but that death was due to strangulation. Her front teeth were knocked out and a silk stocking was tied tightly around her neck.
