EAGLE PASS. Tex, Nov 2o.-It
was learned tonight that the Next
can consul had refused to wise the
passport of Senator Fall. of New
Mexico. who wished to visit Mexico
City for the inaugural ceremonies
of President-elect obregon.
Senator Fall was chairman Of the
special congressional COMMITTEES
which recommended that in the
event order could not be restored In
the neighboring republic by internal
agencies the United States take a
hand In bringing 1t about.
Refusal of Mexican consular
agents to wise passports of Senator
Albert B. Fall. of New Mexico, in
order that he might attend the
Obregon Inauguration exercises al
Mexico City, and the formal denial
by President-elect Obregon Of pub
lished reports to the effect that he
had invited President-electH Harding
to visit Mexico were explained here
last night. *
In responsible Mexican quarters II
WAS stated that senator Eali other
had misrcpres3nted Hexfcau nssttters
to Senator Harding at yruwnsytlIe,
Tex. last week or had himself been
imposed upon by Mexicans fmprop-
-erly claiming to be the personal
sgents of Gen. 'Obregon. - ~
IL was stated that Fall. the Re
publican authority in the Senate on
Mexican AFFAIRS, had tried to have
Senator Harding meet Elias Torres.
supposedly as the personal repre-
sentative of Gen Obregon
1t is the contention of Mexican
leaders here that Torres was not the
agent of Gen. obregon and that the
formal denial by O5regon of his re-
ported invitation to Senator Hard
ing to visit Mexico was intended to
repudiate the action OF Torres.
q Mexican officials made no effort to
conceal their concern over the wide
publicity given Torres movements
while Harding was In Texas. They
stated they had personal messages
from Gen. Obregon absolutely dis
claiming any connection with Torres,
The feeling against Senator Fall
was, said to have been due to his
failure to impress Harding with
Torres irresponsibility to act for
Gen. Obregon. -,

representative Mr.. Isaacs expressed
himself as very well pleased with the
prospects and was liberal with his as

something doing toward developing
the field. Of course we cannot tell
what may develop, or what may fail
to develop, that would hinder in carry

to get too enthusiastic until the ma

DOLLAR DAY A BIG DAY

The second Dollar Day sale for the
city of Wa-Keeney merchants took
place last Saturday, May 9Th, and was
even greater success than the first
sale held sometime ago. The weather
was pleasant and all the farmers for
several miles around came to town
ana d1d their trading Many who were
not IN the habit of coming to Wa
Aeeney were here on that day. Such
days create more of friendly feeling
between the country people and the
town merchants and will help build up
the trade territory of any city. The
two newspapers of Wa-Keeney con-
E1buted the general advertising for
this sale, the merchants paying for
their own special advertisements.

THE K c. SPECIAL WAS HERE

Apparently for the purpose of con-
vincing the gentlemen from the east
that it rains occasionally in Western
Kansas, and at the same time to ac-
commodate them so they might be able
to visit the business houses of Wa
Keeney without getting wet, the
heavy downpours of rain Tuesday
morning just before the e3Heart of
America" special arrived here with its
load of business men from Kansas
City Tt rained hard, but just before
the special pulled into town the rain
ceased and the gentlemen from the
east were not inconvenienced in the
least in getting around over the city
and visiting the business houses.
Their band of twenty pieces fur
nlshed some excellent music while the
cordial greetings were being ex-
changed by wholesalers and custo-
mers- There were many varieties of
souvenirs distributed but the official
bell shape, on which was stamped the
words Ring for Kansas City" These
visits are enjoyed by the local bus
mess men and are no doubt a source
of profit and enjoyment to the bus
mess men who make them Kansas
City is located close to the heart of
America and during the last year or
more its business men have been hust-
ling for their town and have spent
great amount of money in advertising
its advantages and qualities as a bus
