 Charge.
SOUGHT TO PREVENT
 ARMED INTERVENTION
Fails to Establish That There is Or ganized Effort to Bring About Active Entrance of
 the U. s.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Concrete evidence of the existence of an or ganiZed effort to bring about armed Intervention in Mexico was still lack inc when the senate foreign relations subcommittee Investigating the Mexican situation finished the second day of it's hearing.
 Dr. Samuel G. Inman, secretary of the committee on cooperation in Latin-America and associated with the League of Free Nations associa- Ition was again before the committee for cross examination the entire day. His charges that he had been threat ened with personal attack and with a libel suit because of his activities ip developing an anti-intervention spirit and his admission that he did not possess the facts to prove assertion made yesterday as to the stability of the Carranza government. were the outstanding features of the hearing.
 The witness appeared worried when he resumed his testimony to- day and announced his unwillingness | to continue answering questions con- corning letter he had written to members of the Presbyterian Board of Missions and which later he said was published without authorization | When he persisted in his refusal to answer, Chairman Fall and Senator Brandegee reminded him that the committee might adopt measures tt tcompel him to give the information wanted.
 Dr. Inman insisted that since he had begun talking and writing against intervention he had been re peatedly threatened but when the committee demanded by whom ant when, his replies were evasive. H' insisted he was not the paid agent O any one except the mission board ant declared that the oil interests ha' employed unfair methods. He in sinuated the threats had come iron them.
 Hasn't Proofs.
 Relative to the anti-interventol work, Inman admitted that thu League of Free Nations association had a fund collected three or fou years ago, but denied he ever ha' received any payment.
 "Well. that's one general state ment of yours," said the chairman and turned to another passage in hi book declaring if any congressman after dinner speaker or reporte' wanted an idea, he could always tur1 to Mexico Gas fine field.' Agail specific information was demande' and not secured.
 Another paragraph that resulted il sharp cross examination b vthe chair

 Wilson was implicated in the deat of Modero. Senator Fall asked hlr if he was content to let the passag stand. The witness said he wa! ,, and MT. Fall reminded him that Wi son had brought and won a libe suit for a statement of similar char
 acter once before. Dr. 1nman ao
 mitted he could not prove the state ment.
 Denies Conditions Bad.
 The greater part of Inman's test monv was a denial of the truth of al ticles written and statements mad by those who pictured conditions Mexico as bad. On cross examlns tion he admitted, however, ths :, President Carranza must have :. l military escort when he leaves tf :. capital and that all trains operate f in Mexico are compelled either Q carry troops or to have an arme = pilot train. !, The witness was questioned Tn d s tail about his recent book on lnte : yention, one of the assertions ( o which is that many of the stori' d concerning Mexico published in new
 papers are governed by "evil il s flueuces." When he testified th' e such cases were notorius, Senator fa e demanded an explanation and Il n sisted upon knowing what inflnenc r. were meant. The witness did n e name them. ,. G l. Senator Brandegee asked him ;" !. what extent" the stories he referr' j. to were proven untrue.
