 CARRANZA WARNED


 After peace negotiations had been concluded, however, it was pointed out a note was sent to Carranza declaring pointedly that unless more regard was given American rights there would be a radical change in the course of the United States government.
 This step, MT. Lansing is said to have declared, was decided on with great deliberation and constituted definite policy from which there had been no deviation. The secretary is understood to have added that in the circumstances he saw no real urgency for calling the Presidents attention to the Jenkins case. since in dealing With it the department only had been pur- suing the course MT Wilson had 1n~ dorsed-
 In questioning the adviSability of the action suggested in the Fall resolu- ton, Mir. Lansing was quoted as say ing that the Jenkins correspondence seemed about to bring real test whether Carranza meant to heed the warning given some months ago, and that it might be wiser to let this question be answered before breaking off relations. Such a break, he is said also to have suggested, might not only endanger the effort to obtain Jenkins release, but also place other American lives and interests in jeopardy by the withdrawal of diplomatic representa- tives.
 In addition. doubt was said to have been raised as to what practical ad- vantage might be gained by such a withdrawal.
 f Both the secretary and Ambassador Fletcher went before the committee at it's request and gave their statements behind closed doors
 The motion to appoint a committee of two to endeavor to see the Presi- dent was made by Senator Fall De- bate on it was very brief. but so tense was the determination of the majority to reach some sort of action that late afternoon quorum call of the Senate was disregarded and when the Senate s sergeant at arms came to arrest" absentees and take them into the chamber the committee closed it's doors against him.
 ADJOURNMENT TAKEN Tonight Senators Fall and Hitchcock had not consulted White House off cials and the republican leaders said l that if conference were denied Con- gress would go ahead on it's own infor- nation and probably would adopt the l Fall measure The committee adjourned
 until Monday, however, so as to give 1 ample time for the call on the Presi- ! dent
 Senator Fall, who headed commit 1 tee Investigating the entire Mexican l situation,-plans to lay some of the re- 1 suits of his inquiry before the Presi- | dent if an interview is granted. He | has been one of the bitterest opponents | of the administration for it's past atti- 1 tude toward Mexico though his reso- | lution indorses the stand taken in the | Jenkins case
 A recent charge by Senator Fall that
 the Mexican ambassador here, 1gnacio
 Bonillas, had attempted to spread hol- l shevist propaganda in this country 1 drew denial tonight from the ambas- sador, who said in formal statement
 that he had done nothing to encourage disturbing clements in the United 1 States or Mexico.
 The action of the committee in de
 ciding to send representatives to see | the President brought to a focus much cloak room speculation as to the ex- tent to which MT. Wilson's Illness has handicapped him in the discharge ol l his official duties. Committee member; said they did not regard their actior as in any way raising formally any l question as to his constitutional dis i ability, but it was declared privately
 on all sides that the move might resul | in clarifying the atmosphere as to his ] condition.
