Cabrera Declares Citizens of States Must Be Expelled
 By Carranza

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Further testimony taken by the Fall sub-com- mittee Investigating Mexican affairs made public today pictures the Car ranza government as regarding all di- plomatic protests of the American government as perfunctory and ac- credits to officials of the Mexican government policy of driving Amer jeans out of tn ecountry.
 The committee today made public in the testimony of w. F. Buckley, an American lawyer, long resident in Tampico and one of the well known members of the American colony in Mexico.
 Luis Cabrera (Mexican minister of finance) told me very frankly" testi- fled Buckley, tthat the menace of the American in Mexico must be removed and that the only way to do this was to drive him out of the country and take his property"
 "He explained to me- the witness continued, "that MT. Wilson was what he was pleased to term 'an advanced liberal, a great Democrat whose con- corn was for the welfare of the people of the world ad was not confined to the narrow bounds of the United States" He said, continued Buckley, ieMr. Wilson was opposed to capital in Mexico and everywhere else, no matter to whom the capital belonged and that in expelling the American from Mexico the constituencies would receive the sympathy of the American government"
 The oil companies, he charged, had pusued weak and vacillating policies, 'svery similar to that of the American government in handling the general Mexican situation"
 "The oil company, able to fight" Buckley said, "has not had the cour- age to do so and has fallen on the other ternative-bribery. There is not one of the foreign oil companies doing business in Mexico which has not from one to two hundred Carran- cistas on it's payroll. In adopting this contemptible policy, the companies have not only added to their present plight and they have done incalcula- ble harm to the American of small

RAILROAD BILL |S FORWARDED
 IN THE SENATE

WASHINGTON Dec. 10.-Attacking the Cummins railroad bill as a meas urre especially designed to help the roads with their return to private own- ership, Senator La Toilette, Republi- can, Wisconsin, declared in the senate today that it's enactment would "con- stitute the greatest stain on legisla- tion in the history of the American nation"
 There is nowhere in this bill one clause in the interest of the people" |" said Senator LaFollette, who charged that the measure sought to validate 'all the chicanery of F years of rail road jugglery" and fasten 1t on the people.
 Robert s. Lovett, president of the Union Pacific system, in statement sent to members of congress, describ- ed what he considered as the good and bad feature of the Cummins and the Esch bills, declaring that the most amazing" provision of the Esch meas ure as amended by the house dealt with labor.
 "It effectually perpetuates every wage increase and every working rule or regulation made by the rail road administration during the tress of war and abnormal conditions resulting therefrom," he said.

ing, however, large number remain ed for the session to be held tomor- row by the state chaiTment
 Despite the committee meeting to- day the maneuvering of the friends of various candidates was eonspicuously in evidence, but the only result ap- bearing on the surface was state ment by Senator J. E. Watson of h. diana declaring he was not seeking the nomination.
 It was explained by party leaders that the purpose of the special com mittee on policies was to overturn the usual procedure of writing the party platform in few all night sessions of the resolutions committee at the con- vention. Chairmen of the senate and congressional campaign committees will take part in the work of the poli- cies committee, which will include 12 members of the national committee and probably a score or more of others.
 The same 12 committeeman will sit also on the new council, together with 12 others, four of whom will be wo- men. The purpose of this body, it was said, was to deliberate on matters touching party welfare and to make recommendations to the national com mittee itself.
 Two states win gain and five states will lose in the re-apportionment of state representation in the national convention. The net result will be reduction of seven in the number of delegates to vote in the 1920 conven- tion, the total being eS4 in place of 991 in 1916. The changes are as fol lows:
 New York gains one, making the states total in next years convention S8; North Carolina gains one, making 22; Alabama loses two, making 14; Arkansas loses two, making 13; Mas sachuetts loses one, making 35; Ten nessee loses one, making 20, and Texas loses three, faking 23.

Thomas E. Campbell to- day accepted summons in a superior court complaint made by Dalton Love joy, who alleged that the governor or state deprived him of a contract from which he had yet to collect the sum of $1250.

He was superintendent with salary fixed at $250 a month The outgoing board of directors. the governor said. gave him a contract to finish the work, and thereby attempted to have the work finished under the responsibility of the new administration by a man of its own choosing.
 The incoming board of directors of state institutions, nullified the con- tract on January 27. last. Dalton al. legged that at the time when he was relieved he had already collected $875 and that $1250 was due him.

 By Soldiers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Another memorandum on the Mexican situa- tion was sent to President Wilson. It deals with the interference of the Mexican government witht he opera tion of American owned oil properties in Mexico and was prepared by Chair man Payne of the shipping board, after representatives of the Associat- ed Mexican Oil Producers, headed by F. R. Kellogg of New York, had pre- sented the situation to him.

Three notes have been dis patched within six months. but it was said today that President Carranza had not replied to any of them.
 The note of November IS was dis patched after receipt Of official in formation that Carranza soldiers, had seized another American owned oil well on November 12.

 Fear of Death at
 Hands of Russians

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Deporta- tion of Emma Goldman and Alexan- der Berkman to white guard" Rus sia, would be equivalent to pronoun- cing death sentence upon them, liar ry Weinberger counsel for the two radicals. asserted in a brief filed to- day with the supreme court in a final effort to prevent their removal from the United States.
 The highest court was asked to re- ceive an apeal from the action of Fed eral Judge Mayer in New York, which dismissed an application for habeas corpus writs. Counsel for both the accused and the government were permitted to submit briefs.
 Weinberger in his brief admitted that his clients were anarchists, but contended there was insufficient ev- idence to warrant deportation and charged that the secretary of labor exceeded his jurisdiction and discre- tion in issuing deportation orders. Constitutionality of the statutes un- der which it was issued also was at- tackled. and at this point counsel said that deportation to the white guard" country would be equivalent to a death sentence.
 In granting Weinberger permission to seek an appeal for error. Judge Mayer gave him until 4 D. m., tomor row to perfect his writ and it was be lieved the supreme court would take notice of this in reaching a decis ion
