Carranza Assists Them.
The three men referred to are the
same, the memorandum states, as
those mentioned by Carranza, in let
ters of which the committee has Sc
cured photostatic copies. The first of
these letters, dated June 4, and adj
dressed to Manuel Aguirre Berlanga,
Mexican minister of gobernacion,
says;
''Senor Limo Caballo, bearer of this
letter. is the person. in company with
two friends, will bring TO you the
manifesto and the plan which they
desire to put into practice in the state
of Texas.
"This plan being very favorable for
Mexico, please aid them in every way
and give the necessary instructions in
the frontier states,
II remain your affectionate friend,
"V. CARRANZA."
The second letter, dated August 10,
and addressed to the same government
official, follows;
THE present letter will be delivered

two friends from Texas who accom-
pany him and, in accordance with our
conversation, please give them the
guarantees they solicit as well as the
pecuniary assistance they may desire.

~. CARRANZA."
Other Information.
Other information secured by the
committee and which 1t regards as
reliable, indicates treaty negotiations
between Mexico and Japan. The
document in possession of the COM
mittee states that one high official of
Mexico would communicate to an
other high official that the treaty
with Japan is coming along and that
the writer is convinced of the great
advantages it would bring Mexico for
its national integrity"
Reference is contained in another
document, to the support the Mexican
government proposes to give German
commercial initiative in Mexico.
Senator Falls comment on the plan
of revolution disclosed in the minutes
of the lodge meeting, is that it would
appear "preposterous ridiculous and
so fantastic as of itself to deserve lit
tie attention were it not first, for the
fact that it is similar in all essentials
to the plan of San Diego, which the
only judicial tribunal passing upon
the question has declared to have been
backed or supported by armed forces
