~ about an Irishman, who, when asked whether he thought the United States would take Mexico replied: q think we will. It's so contag- ious to us."
 ! At another point, when jests were being exchanged about the presidents health, Mir. Wilson was said to have referred to the statement made in letter by Senator Moses, republican, of New Hampshire, that the execu- tive was reported to have a brain lesion.
 1 "The president remarked" Senator Fall said, "that as a result of the conference he hoped the senator would be treasured, although he might be disappointed"
 Senator Fall gave a detailed ac- count of the White House visit. He said Dr. Grayson received them and took them up to the presidents bed room, where Mrs. Wilson shook hands with each senator.
 "The president shook hands with each of ,us," Senator Fall continued. 1 "He was lying in bed, flat on his , back. His shoulders were propped i up slightly. His bed was in shaded portion of the room. He greeted us pleasantly, and while his articulation seemed somewhat thick, during the entire conference, 1 could understand perfectly every word he said.
 '1 think he was covered up to his chin. with his right arm out. sat a little to one side and slightly be- low him, near a table, and he ire quently turned his head to talk to me. He also reached over to the table several times to obtain papers on it."
 Asked regarding the presidents physical appearance, Senator Fall said he was "not an expert,". but would not judge that the executive had lost any weight. He continued that Senator Hitchcock opened the discussion, but stated that he person. ally had nothing to present, but ac- companied Senator Fall, who desired to submit some information. 1 Mental Condition We'll.
 "I told the president that didn't care to fatigue him." MT. Fall said. 1 "I sketched, as rapidly as possible the work done by our subcommittee, and gave him, hastily, some of the reasons why I thought this govern ment should break off relations with Mexico.
 q asked him if he had a copy of my resolution and he reached over on the table and picked up copy. 1 The president asked me if I would give him a memorandum in writing covering my statement. and I agreed to send it at once. He asked many questions and displayed a general knowledge of conditions, recent as well as past. He indicated perfect comprehension of the points I was making.
 ..'I told him that I desired to as- sure him of my desire to keep with him in Mexican matters as far as I could. He picked up. the copy of my resolution and asked: CT suppose you want to have me give some opinion on this 2
 q said that was the purpose, and he then asked if would supply him with the written memorandum. He didn't say when or how he would communicate with us.
 "The president seemed generally | familiar with Mexican affairs and said he didn't know the details" i MT. Wilson, according to Senator Fall, had an idea that the sub-com- mittee's report was in readiness and MT. Fall explained that the inquiry probably would not be completed for l several months, and that a report , was improbable before next June.
 Asked if he was satisfied with the presidents condition and his ability to handle the Mexican situation, Senator Fall continued:
 "Do you mean his mental condi- tion? ?"
 "Yes."
 "Yes, sir" he replied, "entirely so."
 Opposes Break. Senator Hitchcock, who told the same story of the conference, said the president had seemed in cheer full mood and decidedly on the mend. His color was good, he said, and his facial appearance normal. Although he had not seen Secretary Lansing since he became i'll, the senator said, MT. Wilson had seen other members of his cabinet and was doing an in- creasing amount of work daily.
 After the conference Dr. Grayson said the visit apparently had done the president good. and that he seem- ed to have enjoyed it. The physician added that he had arranged for his patient to remain in bed for the con- ference because he had been up for some time during the morning and f; was desired to guard against tiring him too much.
 The news of the release of Jenkins was given varying interpretations in official and congressional circles. State department officials had no comment to make on it, in the ab- sence of more detailed information, but Senator Hitchcock and other democrats in congress declared it seemed to relieve the strain that had been placed on relations with Mexico, and to bear out their position that the senate and houco sho,,ld koan hopdc
