Great Britain both decided to decline
the proposals. The politest acknowledge

SAYS PRESIDENT WAS
M|SLED BY WRITERS
TO TRUST CARRANzA
WITNESS DECLARES MEXICAN
CHIEF ENEMY OF OWN PEOPLE.
4. y. AND CIVILIZATION

Washington. July 2S.-Misled In their
investigation of conditions In Mexico,
William Bayard Hale and Lincoln Stef.
fens In turn mlsled President Wilson
into believing that President CarranZa
was the peoples champion" the
house rules committee was told today
by William Gates, an archaeologist of
Baltimore. The committee Is holding
hearings proposing investigation of the
Mexican situation.
Declaring that his opinions We're
based on first.hand study of condi.
tions when he toured Mexico In 1917
and 1918. Gates described Carranza as
IAN enemy of his own people first,
the United States second, and then all
civilization"
The Mexican president, the witness
said. Is more anti-SaXon than anti.
American, hopes to set up the suprem.
acy of the Latin races and desires TO
drive American and British capital from
hiH country.
Gates said that after their investiga-
tion in Mexico for the president, Hale
and Steffens were employed by the
Germans.
The Americans are not well Informed
of affairs in Mexico, the witness said
because American diplomats are able
to talk to CarranZa only through rep
rcsentativos and the American press
has received Carranza propaganda.
"Who prepared tho propaganda"
asked Representative Smell OF New
York.
"It was written by Carranzistas and
handed to The Associated Press and If
they did not send It out they would
be given "a hours to leave the coun-
try"
Gates said it was well known in Mex
leo that the Germans had wireless
near Mexico City during the war, re
laying messages to Spain and thence to
Nauen, and that there was another
wireless station on German owned
plantation in a distant Mexican state
He said that he informed Secretary Ba
ker of the wireless stations in 1918 and
had written him several letters regard
ing his investigation in Mexico. BE
cause of close friendship with the sec
retary he asked the committee not to
request him to make public the letters
saying they contained many statements
made only because of the close rela
tionship between himself and Mr.. Ba
ker.
II tried to inspire the secretary said
Mr.. Gates, "ahead of the crisis that
felt sure would come, to do something
that cannot be done automatically"

ming an immediate return to Chicago,
to be followed later by tour of the
country, william ID. Haywood. former

tour, which is to be given in the East,
TO the workngmen of the country.
"Our organization has been misjudg-
ed" Haywood said. I'VE did not OPP
pose war with Germany. 1t couldn't
be avoided. While we believe war as
u whole Is unnecessary, the |. w. w.
was in sympathy with Americas $
cause, n fact that was proved by the
entry of the thousands of our members
into military service and as workmen
at the government shipyards ana
docks. We are opposed primarily to
laws enacted since the war began
The espionage act is the wrong sort
of legislation"
Declaring that members of the |.
w. W. were better Americans than
other citizens, because we sympathize
with honest foreigners, and believe
honest immigration should be encour-
aged" he added that the l. W. W.
could foresee no dangers to American
labor from honest immigration
The |. w. w. is not responsible
for, nor guilty of the violence credited
to it," Haywood asserted. I'VE have
never resorted to violence. We are
the victims of u newspaper war"

CLARIFYING STATEMENT
FROM WILSON EXPECTED
BY LEA CUE DEB BA TIERS

Washington, July 2S.-The beginning
today of the tenth week of senate de
bate on the peace treaty was accompa-
MED by many evidences of expectancy
that statements from President Wilson
soon might clarity the two issues around
which discussion has centered - Shan
tung and reservations.
Indications at the White House that
the president might within a few days
take public stand regarding the res
ervation proposal led senate leaders to
believe that the lines of that contro.
versy might speedily be drawn. Wheth-
er the president would express readi-
ness to accept reservations or other
qualifications not imperling the league
covenant remained subject of conjec
ture, but more than one republican SEN
ator who had seen him at the White
House believed his stand will not be an
uncompromising one for unreserved rat
ificaton.
The hope of developments regarding
the Shantung provision was based on
the presidents diplomatic conversations
with Japan to secure public declara-
ton of her future policy regarding the
peninsula.
In the belief that 1t could complete
at today's session the preliminary read
ing fthe treaty text, the foreign re.
lations committee plans to lay the doc
ument aside for n short while tomor
row, to permit action on the long pend
ing Colombian treaty.
The speech of Senator Walsh, demo
crat, Montana, replying to the criticism
of article ten of the league covenant,
was the only one of which previous
notice had been given for today in the
senate.
