BID IS REFUSED
Fall Probe Commission VIII Not
Visit Mexico.
Carranza Wanted "Mr. FalE'
Not SENATOR" as Guest.

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 15.-Sen.
Albert B. Fall. chairman of the senate
subcommittee investigating Mexican
affairs on the border. today definitely
declined to accept the invitation of
Luis Cabrera, minister of finance, of
the Carranza government, to visit
Mexico.
Cabrera's invitation included in a
cablegram from Mexico City, offered a
special train for Falls personal use
to conduct the investigation. He ten
dered the invitation, not to Senator
Fall as an official, he said, but to "Mr.
Fall" an American citizen.
Cabrera suggested the personal tour
of Mexico would yield truer facts than
IAN official investigation of the fMexi-
can situation thru the keyhole of the
door, distorted by the lenses of preju-
dice
Senator Fall disclaimed any but
friendly interests toward the Mexican
people and reiterated the purpose of
the committee to learn the real truth
about Mexico The proposed visit. he
said. as an American citizen would
subject it to criticism as a partial in
vestigator.
Fall regretted that under the con-
stitution and laws of the United
States" he was unable to extend a
reciprocal courtesy of a special train
from government funds.
He offered, however, to furnish
transportation from any border city
to any American city, he said.

CALL FOR PROBE
House Members Vote Inyestiga-
tion Insurance Sarcharge.
SoIons Ask Travis and Hopkins
to Explain Actions.

House members today adopted a
resolution by Abraham Troup of Phil
lips county for an investigation of the
10 per cent insurance surcharge.
Troup's resolution calls upon Frank L..
Travis state superintendent OF fnsur-
ance, and Richard ]. Hopkins, attor-
house to explain their actions in the
matter. Protest is made against ac-
ton of state officials in permitting in
surance companies to retain previous
collections.
The ten per cent surcharge on fire
insurance in this state is declared by
the resolution to have amounted to
100000 a year. Last spring the state
insurance department made an order
ment with state officials, the sur
charge was wiped out, but no distri-
button of the funds previously collect
ed was ordered.
Troup's resolution states that sit is
generally understood that the tnsur-
ance department of the state, and
upon advice of the attorney general,
gave consent to said companies to re-
tain said sum regardless of the fact
that that departments report covering
the year 1918 showed that the COM
panies doing business in Kansas paid
out in losses only 40 per cent of the
premiums paid to them" The reso-
luton asks that Travis and Hopkins
appear before the house "to give such
information as will explain said above
transaction" 1t is provided that in
event adjournment of the special ses-
sion comes. before such action is taken.
that reports be nailed to the governor
and mailed to each member of the
house.

London Jan. 15.-Fears are ex-
pressed in diplomatic dispatches re-

may spread thruout Germany and
even to Vienna thru the agency of the
communists, this element using the re-
cent disorders in Berlin to inflame the
masses by representing those killed as
martyrs to the cause or the people.
Vienna, 1t is pointed out, would be
likely to furnish fertile ground for the
agtstors because of the great unrest
that already exists there. Thus far no
disorders are reported outside Berlin.
The advices in analyzing the up
heaval in Berlin point to its original
cause as the dissatisfaction of the in
dependent socialist over the failure OF
, the government to provide a method
for the establishment of the work

tuition but give the immediate cause as

CEMENT TRUST, CHAR E
Rahe, Bonner Springs. Asks House for
legislative Probe.

The house today received a request
for a legislative investigation of the
alleged cement trust. Charges that
one small company made a net profit
of $350.000 last year under a trust
agreement, were contained in a petit
tion seHtFo the reading clerks desk
Frank B. Rahe of Bonner Springs
is president of the organization which
seeks legislative probe. The organ
ization terms itself the Kansas Society
for Modernizing Farm Homes. Rahe's
petition asserts that because of the
high price of cement, Improvement of
farm property was at a standstill last
year. His protest against present high
prices was directed TO the governor
with a request that the state executive
ask for legislative action.
In the petition is a statement that
the cement Interests have entered into
a combination or trust. 1t states that
one small cement company has earned
a net profit of $350.000 a year under
the trust agreement where it previous
ly was able to earn but s175,00O a
year.
Several months ago the attorney
generals office brought custer pro-
ceedings against a number of cement
companies under the anti trust laws.
The case is now pending in the state
supreme court. Rahe's petition today
asks that the legislature go into the
matter with view of enacting new
laws TO meet the problem.

again today. continuing his investiga-

reaction from the dissipation of the
Christmas holidays, which might have
caused general intestinal disturbance.
Doctor Sherwood said he had not made
sufficient tests as yet to advance any
definite theories on the epidemic s
origin.
