MEXICAN QUIZ
age Set at San Antonio for
Committees First Session.

AN ANTONIO, Tex. Jan. 13.-More
than fifty San Antonio witnesses are on
hand and the stage has been set for an
inquiry which, it is believed, will reveal
the inner workings of Mexican politics
and bring to light many murders, indig-
mites, robberies and other outrages which
American citizens in Mexico has suf-
fered since the inception of the first
revolution in 1910 and the murder of Ma
dero.
The inquiry will begin when the Fall
senate subcommittee investigating the
Mexican situations opens public hearings
here this afternoon. Other witnesses
numbering between $50 to 200 from Dor
der towns, Mexico and other places have
been notified they will be wanted to tes-
tify at the commmitttee hearings.
: From the number Of witnesses who
VIII be called before the committee it
is not believed the hearings in San An
eAonio can be finished in less than two
or three weeks. Following the hearings
here the committee is expected to go to Ell
Paso and Nogales, Ariz., and wind up
the border investigation in Los Angeles
1t is possible the committee, after leav
ing San Antonio may go to Brownsville
and one or two other lower Rio Grande
valley towns for brief investigations pro-
ceeding to FL Paso.

Weak, thin, nervous people almost in

phosphate in the nerves and lack of iron
In the blood. One of the surrSt quick
est and safest ways in which to mako
up the deficiency Is to take with each
meal a FIVE grain tablet of digestible
phosphate and iron known among drug
gists here as Blood Iron Phosphate; be-
cause it supplies iron to the blood as
well as phosphate to the nervous system.
People who have tried It say that ono
grain tablet taken with each meal
quickly restores depleted nervous energy.

vitality and endurance, and those who
are too thin usually put on pounds Of

Inasmuch as Huder, Hook. Haag and

LETTER REVEALS
TRUE POSITION.
The position of the committee, as re-

lows:
There must be a special session of the
legislature limited tc ratification of suf-
frage for the reason that the party can
not afford to permit any change in exist
ing laws and l. can not escape the neces-
sity of granting the women what they
are demanding.
The laws enacted by the last legisla-
ture must be maintained even though
the courts destroy them, and you, as a
legislator, must stand ready to re-enact
them if necessary, but you must not
change either the tax law nor the high
way commission law one iota from the
way it was passed by the Goodrich leg
islature and the way it stands today.

after bis twenty third birthday from the
home of his widowed mother: modest
little home kept up by the earnings
of the boy and his sister.
But neither for herself, nor for the
former lover whom she and her hus-
band confess they battered to death in
a lonely wayside, does Mrs O'Dell ex-
press pity.
She is anxious lest her husband be
blamed for what she insists was her
own deed, and at the same time James
Louis ODen is equally determined to
shoulder the full responsibility.

girl of the small town type, although
she has lived more than half of her
life in Rochester. She is tall, distinctly

Members of Sheriff Weidenmann's staf
say, that from the moment of her ar
rest, the girl has not shed tear.
I found her, dressed with painsutakinG

of the horror in which she is involved.

Discussion of the proposed city plaza,

definite action was taken.
