IS INTRODUCED n SEVER RELATIONS WITH MEX|CO:
 SEN. ASHURST ASKS FOR TR00PS
 TO PROTECT BORDER AMERICANS
Senator Fall Declares He Has Evidence That W Astound the World, y Indie ating That His Investigations Unearth Plots of Mexican Embassy In U. S.
 to Spread Bolshevik Propaganda With
 Knowledge of Pres Carranza

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-President Wilson was requested in resolution introduced in the senate to sever dip lomatic relations with Mexico.
 The resolution was offered by Sen ator Fall of New Mexico, who as chairman of a subcommittee investi- gating the Mexican situation, de- clared evidence had been found which would astound the world"
 It also asked that the president withdraw recognition of the Carranza gov Vernment. Senator Fall boldly charged that the Mexican embassy, the consulate generals in New York and San Francisco and the consulates along the border with the knowledge and consent of President Carranza, had been actively engaged in the spreading of Bolshevist propaganda in the United States. Evidence, it was said, would be forthcoming to bear out the charge
 By this resolution, which was sent to the senate foreign relations com mittee for consideration tomorrow, the whole Mexican problem, admit tedly grave in view of the refusal of the Carranza government to release Consular Agent Jenkins was laid be- fore the Mexican government on Mon day. Word to this effect reached the department today, but there was no intimati0n as to when an answer might be expected.
 An early report from the committee on the Fall resolution is expected and this will put the question squarely be- fore the senate, aroused to high pitch by recent murders of Americans in Mexico and the treatment of the American consular agent
 While Senator Fall did not indicate the exact nature of his evidence, it was said that he had obtained photo graphic copies of correspondence that would clearly show secret operations of the Mexican president and his rep resentatives in this country. There also was introduced in the senate a resolution by Senator Ashurst of Ari- zona authorizing the secretary of war to use the nations forces for protec- tion of it's people on their own side of the border. For eight years, Senator Ashurst said, he had been waiting for the army to protect American resi- dents along the border and he felt that the time had come for action.
 In the house there was a flare up of the Mexican situation, Represen- tative Caldwell, New York, declaring it was so bad that before many days

Abolish Excess Tax Urges Secy. Glass and Increase Tax
 On Average Incomes

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Revision of the revenue laws, so as to place a heavier burden of taxes on the normal income was urged by Secretary Glass in his annual report today to con- gross.
 MT. Glass declared that the excess profit tax provisions of the present law should be eliminated and the rev enue thus sacrificed be made up from an increase in the taxes on the aver age income.
 Revenue derived from the lower amounts assessed under sur-tax pro- visions of the law may well be in creased, said MT. Glass. who added that the topmost amounts listed un- der these provisions already had pass ed their usefulness. The only conse- uuence of increasing the tax on the larger sums under the sur-tax law, he said, would be to drive "possessors of great incomes to invest their wealth in billions of state and municipal Se- curities" which are wholly tax-ex- empt.
 The treasury plan seeks to raise more revenue from incomes above $4,O0O without attempting to disturb incomes of persons whose salaries barely meet living costs, as any change in that tax would only add a burden on a class unable to bear it.

SENATE ORDERS PROBE TRADE
 COMMISSION
Senator Watson's Charge That Employees Were Engaged In Spreading Radical Prop
 aganda Considered

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Full in vestigation of the federal trade com mission was ordered today by the senate. without a dissenting vote on resolution directing a general in- quiry by the interstate commerce. committee into the commission's ac- tivities and also into charges by Senator Watson, Republican. Indiana. that some of its employees have been engaged in radical propaganda. Hear ings probably will not begin until January, as both senate and commit tee Nare busy with railroad legisla- tion. A subcommittee headed by Senator Watson will be appointed next week, however, to conduct the investigation
 The resolution provides for an in- quiry of wide scope As originally proposed by Senator Watson, it GOV cred only alleged radical activities of commission employees. As amend ed by the senate, however, it author izes inquiry into a report as to it's value as federal agency. Chairman Cummins of the interstate commerce committee proposed this amplifica- tion of the committees powers. Pro- tracted hearings are expected to deal in detail with criticism and defense of the commission and its activities, especially in reference to the com missions investigation of the meat packers.
 Adoption of the resolution was marked by brief but general criticism of radicalism and propaganda. Sena- tor Watson reiterated his charges that commission employees are active in radical socialistic efforts. Sena- tor Walsh. Democrat, Montana, de clared that political views of federal employees should not be called into question if the employe properly per formed his official duties

the country might be at war. Since been indications that congress would take the Mexican bit by the teeth, de- mand the release of Jenkins and pro- tection of lives of Americans in that country, but the resolution requesting the president to break off relations. the next thing to actual declaration of war, showed that action Of some kind would not be long delayed
 Everywhere the impression pre- vailed that Senator Falls committee and officials of the state department were in close and thorough accord. Before the resolution was introduced Senator Fall conferred with Henry P. Fletcher, American ambassador. who for some months has been handling Mexican afafirs at the state depart ment. The department archives have been opened to the foreign relations committee without reservation and members of the committee said there existed complete understanding with the department
 
 posal for an open break with Mexico was not altogether clear tonight, but it was said that Republicans would vote almost solidly for it, and that they would have some Democrats as supporters.
 Senator Shields of Tennessee, a member of the foreign relations com mittee, speaking for the floor when the resolution was offered. declared "the United States had had occasion to declare war against Mexico for the last five years"
 When word reached the house that there might soon be an open rupture with Mexico. members said it had long been expected and there were re- ports that Republicans in the house would vote for the resolution when it goes there for action.

 or Plead Not Guilty

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. B. Twenty defendants, many of them prominent in the official life of Michigan, appeared before Federal Judge c. w. Sessions today to plead to indictments charging corruption, fraud and conspiracy in connection with nomination anu election of Tru- man H. Newberry. Unified States sen- ator from Michigan.
 With one exception the defendants, who include prominent clergyman, either stood mute or pleaded not guilty and were released on 5000 bond.
