Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. Hive dis cussion among delegates rather than ponderous addresses will characterize the second pan-American financial conference. This decision was made at an organization meeting today and was regarded by the high officials of the Pan-American governments pres ent as a big step toward putting ginger into the deliberations.

 The meeting held at the close of a luncheon rendered the guests in the they had been presented by Secretary Lansing was itself more like a gather ing of corporation directors than a formal diplomatic affair. A spirit of personal good fellowship and interna tional cooperation was evident, of which notice was taken by Secretary Glass the luncheon host.

RADICAL ASPIRATIONS NOT MENACE ID J. $.

TRepubIican A. p. Leased WireI

NEW YORK, Jan 17.-RadicaI agi- tatfons are not menace to American institutions, but rather serve to test their value, Henry W. Taft, president of the New York Bar association, de- clared at the annual banquet of the association tonight in voicing a plea for the preservation of freedom of speech" He declared that only by discussion of some concrete question can the interest of the American peo- rle as 10 the meaning and application of the constitution be aroused.
 I've hear much in these days, post war days, of Americanisn." he haid, but mere emotional response to mo- ble sentiments of patriotism will not avail to protect the body polite against assaults upon our institutions. unless they be followed by enlightened, constructive efforts. Indidious influ- ence sometimes emanates even from pulpits. colleges and public prints. The parlor bolshevists added a glow of cul- ture, religion and even of a spurious patriotism to the efforts of both the alarmist and the disloyal agitators. Too often they confuse the soviet ark with the Mayflower. With such influences at work, the most useful kind of Americanism that I know is that which, inspired by adherence to our national traditions, insists upon sanity in council and steadiness in act"
 He declared the bolshevists who have been arrested are entitled to writs Of habeas corpus whether they are citi- gems or not
 The association adjourned its 43rd annual meeting today without taking any action either condemning or up- holding the legislature in suspending the five socialists.

CARRANzA WOULD KEEP MEX|CANS FROM FASTENING
Sub-C b-Committee Investigat- ing Mexicans Affairs En- counters New Difficulty Will Endeavor To Shield Witnesses - Many New Facts Brought To Light
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Jan. IT, Mexicos objections to MeXicans testi- tee, investigating affairs in that coun- try. will result in an increased mum Der of it's executive sessions. The improbability that any effort will be made by the committee to compel any Mexican to testify, was made clear by the committee today, but when MexicanS asked to testify fear the re- suits, such protection as secret hear ing can afford them will be offered
 At least one witness today was a Mexican.
 Mexican Agents Active
 Mexican secret service agents have appeared here in greater numbers since the hearings began and there has not been held one session at which the Mexican government was unrepre- scented.
 Most of the testimony taken in a closed session related to robberies, out raSes and expressions inflicted upon Americans in Mexico. especially in the southern and eastern part of the country. Those testifying asked the cloak on a secret hearing in order that they might return to their holdings in Mexico
 Tn the open hearings, C. l.. Gardner of Hot Springs, Ark. gave the details of the working of the Gran Lige, radical railroad organization that was organized during the latter part of Diaz's rule and which attained greater strength under that of Carranza. It was largely due to influence of that organization that he ascribed the sub- stitution of Mexican railroad men for Americans
 Assault Young Women
 Gardner was one of the few Ameri- sans who continued to work on the Mexican lines. He was a conductor and for a time his run was in the country south of Mexico City, where he witnessed atrocities by the followers of Zapata. He related to the committee Instances of mounted Zapatistas over taking young women. throwing them upon their horses and riding away with them into the hills.
 He also told the committee of the popularity of Jack Johnson. ex- heavyweight champion of the United States, in Mexico City.
 Part of the committees time was taken today in examining witnesses regarding the sources of an Tnterna- tloual News service article that origi- mated here but was killed" before publication. The writer cited G. Hall as the one responsible for the state ments made. Hall is the director of the Mexican trade bureau of the local chamber of commerce.
 The article in question was that secret service agents of Mexico were lnvestigat ting the record of Senator Fall with the object of ascertaining what business interests he has in Mexico. Hall denied responsibility for the statements. although a woman appeared as witness, saying he had so informed her.

raepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Jan- 11- Doubt of the right of a federal judge to cause an Investigation of army ad- ministratvie affairs was expressed to- night by Major General James McRae, conmandant of the disciplinary bar racks at Fort Leavenworth. General McRae commented on the order of Federal Judge J. c. Pollock, of Kansas City, in ordering United States Attor- ney Robertson to investigate a situa- ton brought out in testimony at the trial of Il men charged with con- spiracy to issue and pass fraudulent treasury certificates printed on a press at the disciplinary barracks.
 The testimony, the court said, was either perjured. or carried severe re- flection on a great department of the government If the department of justice agents come to the prison for an investigation with orders only from Judge Pollock, I intend to take the matter up with Secretary of War Baker before I permit anything to be done," said the commandant.
 s'The matter about which Judge Pollock referred took place before was stationed here and I know very little about 1t but I can say that it has been investigated thoroughly. About a year ago there was a form of self government in the prison but that is not in force now"

TEN PARTS ADDED TO ANTI-WET MACHINERY
 TO MAKE NATION DRY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Wfth the appointment today of the ten depart ment commissioners for prohibition enforcement, the governments ma chinery, to be created under the eighteenth amendment to the constitu- ton was practically completed. A few state directors have not been named, but their duties are being performed by internal revenue officers.
 Prohibition Commissioner Kramer s office had an inh1ing in it's first day of operation of the multiplicity of prob lems that it will face until the public gets acquainted wth\ the law. TeIe- grams and telephone calls poured into the various members of the enrorce- ment staff. and there were almost ss many different subjects to be dis cussed as there were messages.
 Officials believed when Secretary Glass approved the final draft or the enforcement regulations that they could meet any controversy with a definite answer through those rulings. But it was admitted freely that the first day of prohibition under the na- tion's basic law have proved there stil were technlcalities to be interpreted.

VERSAILLES, Jan. IT, Paul Deschanel was elected president of the French re- public today by 734 votes of the 889 members of the na- tional assembly voting. His majority was the largest since the election of Louis Adolph Thiers, the first president after the fall of the empire, who was chosen unanimously.

 The feeling among the senators and the deputies was that the new presi- dent should come into power with a vote that would give him the neces- for France. The general sentiment is that while M.
