u. S. Government Agents
Claim to Have Evidence
That Carranza, Aided by

formation regarded by government
agents here as evidence that Car
rama government officials are coun-
teuancing a plan to establish boil
sheviki regime in Mexico and that
the radical element is supported
largely by evaders of the American
draft, will be given to the senate
subcommittee investigating Mexican
affairs when it begins its hearings
here this week.
Senator A. B. Fall, republican,
New Mexico. chairman of the COM
mittee, is expected to arrive Mon
day. Senator Marcus A. Smith,
democrat, Arizona, already is here
and scores of witnesses, many of
them refugees from Mexico, are
awaiting an opportunity to testify.
Summons for more than 200 have
been issued, but the number who
have notified agents of the commit
tee Of their willingness to testify ia
much greater.
Not All Unfavorable.
Not all the testimony offered will
be unfavorable to the present Mexi-
can administration. Supporters OF
the Carranza government have
placed before the committee the
names Of many who, they assert
will be able to counter at least some
Of the statements of special investi-
gators, refugees and ordinary OBJ
servers. Much of the testimony
prepared will not be heard. it was
said, because the stories of scores
differ only in detail, and much of il
has to do with the developments in
the early days of Carranza' admin
istration. 1t is expected more time
will be given by the committee to
an investigation of radicalism as it is
manifested now in Mexico and to the
existing conditions and relations OF
the governments of Mexico and the
United States.
Records Support Statements.
Assertions that Americans who
fled to Mexico TO escape the draft
are implicated in the plan to bring
Mexico under the rule of the radicals
are based on statements published in
the official organ of the communis!
party in Mexico. American govern
nlent records and reports of special
agents tend to support the state
ments. According to the published
boast, $4,000 Americans escaped
service in the army by flight to Mex
ico. Most of them have returned to
the United States, but many remain
and the names of few have ap
peared in the literature of the COM
munist and I. w. w. organizations

GOVERNORS OF
WEST WILL ASK
MONEY FROM u. S.
$250,000,000 Appropriation Is
Sought by Western
Executives.

Governors D. w. Davis of Idaho,
Simon Bamberger of Utah, T. c.
Campbell of Arizona and O. A. Lar
razolo Of New Mexico, with 81 mem
bcrs of the Western States Reclama-
tion association, including cx-Gov.
William @Spry Of Utah and Lieuten-
ant Governor Stephan of Colorado,
stopped two hours in Omaha yester-
day on their way from Denver, Colo,
TO Washington, d. c.
The party will arrive in Washing
ton Tuesday morning, and hold
conference with congressman and
senators from western states
Wednesday to formulate plans for
securing a $250,00000O appropria-
ton to be used for irrigation
projects. Governor Carey Of Wyo-
ming, Lieutenant Governor Nc
Dowell of Montana and Gov. Louis
Hart of Washington will join the
party in Washington. The trip is the
result of meeting of the reclama-
ton association at Salt Lake City
last November, and is unique in that
it is the first time in the history of
the country that governors of west
ern states have gone to the national
capital to ask for an appropriation.
Party Tours City.
The governors and a majority of
the party toured the city during
their stopover. Governor Bamberger
and Governor Davis, who had made
previous visits to Omaha, expressed
great surprise at the growth and
metropolitan air of the city.
Governor Campbell of Arizona is
typical westerner. He wore a
large, broad-b%immed white felt hat.
and his sun-burned face indicated
exposure to the Arizona sunshine.
He is at least six feet four inches
tall, with radiant smile and bone
crushing handshake.
Governor Larrazolo of New Mex
ico, is of Spanish descent. His
swarthy countenance and we'll
trimmed black moustache contrasts
picturesquely with his ready smile,
which displays two rows of perfect
white teeth and indicates an amiable'
disposition. 1 -.
No Presidential Statement.
"You have very live city," he
smiled. 1T is much different from
our dreamy Santa Fe, much noisier
and much larger. Next to Santa Fe
I, believe I would prefer to live in
Omaha"
The four governors are apparently
fast friends. With the exception of
Governor Bamberger all are repub-
licans. Asked concerning the senti-
ment of their states toward presi-
Dental candidates each declared that
no strong sentiment for any particu-
lar candidate was in evidence. \
II am inclined to believe that
neither the real democratic or re-
publican presidential possibility has
been named as yet" said Governor
Davis. "In any event there has
been no presidential boom launch
ed in Idaho"
Continue Trip East.
The party continued its journey
eastward at E in the evening. They
are travelling on special car. Ne
braska is represented by James T..
