Mrs. Felix Raines Surprised.

Mrs. Felix Raines, 632 Fauquier
street, had birthday anniversary
last Sunday. Whether she or her
husband remembered that fact "de-
ponent sayeth not,' but a number of
her friends did, and, headed by Mr..
j.. j. Johnson, 548 Wabasha street,
and Officer and Mrs. H. G. Thompson,
of Minneapolis, surprise party was
arranged for her. The members of
the party to the number of sixteen
met at Mr.. Johnson's residence and
at about $3.50 O'Clock proceeded in a
body to Mrs. Raines' residence car
rying with them several mysterious
packages. Arriving there they en-
tered singing "Auld Lang Syne," and
took possession of the coy home, of
which its mistress is deservedly
proud. It was a genuine surprise to
the host and hostess but they at once
entered into the spirit of the occa-
sion and both proceeded to do their
bit toward entertaining their guests.
Mr.. Raines managed a delightful
graphanola concert while Mrs. -Raines
repaired to her culinary department
and it was not. long before a table
was spread in the dining room, re-
splendent with snowy linen, silver
ware and cut glass and laden with
s"good things to eat of which

in the culinary art and she furnished
number of delicious specimens of
pickles, preserves, canned fruit,
jellies, jams, cake and wine, pre-

preparation Of $4,000 for filling the

Judging by certain remarks made BY

cussing the filling OF the pit and the
building OF 4 park, the mayor declared
that he was the sole sponsor for the

REPEATS STORY
TO COMMITTEE
Ma|treatment by Meyicans
Related by Ada Woman.

WASHINGTON. July y.-William
B. Mitchell, former manager OF the
Bank OF London in Mexico City. told
the house rules committee today that
the sending Of two American military
expeditions into Mexico and their
subsequent withdrawal is largely re
sponsible for the anti-hmerican feel
ing in the southern republic. The
committee is considering a resolution
authorizing investigation OF the rela-
tons between the two countries
DO YOU think thsi the feeling
against Americans was strengthened
by the belief that America or its
people were afraid TO assert their
rights" asked a member OF the COM
mittee.
Contempt for Americans.
YES" said the .witne" Twice
American expeditions entered the
country and then withdrew"
The Mexicahs then had contempt
for Americans"
Yes"
Mr., Mitchell said there was
strong anti-Americau spirit in the
Carranra administration.
Discussing the mistreatment of
Americans in Mexico, the witness
said the "riff-raff" in the Mexican
army was largely responsible for
depredations in Mexico, particularly
in the Tampico district.
Americans are not being treated
with the same consideration as other
foreigners. the witness said. adding
that Henry p Fletcher, the American
ambassador, was openly insulted on
the streets Of Mexico City while en-
route TO attend the inauguration Of
President Carranla. while the German
ambassador was cheered
Mrs. Correll Tells Story,
Mr.. Mitchell disagreed with the
statement before the committee by
Ambassador Fletcher yesterday that
one reason why Americans were
greater sufferers at the hands OF
Mexioans was that they outnumbered
the citizens Of other foreign eoun-
tries. He said there were more
Spanish and French than Americans
