which Is very long. is dated at San An

continues. Il have IN my possession
the clothing which my father wore when
he was assassinated. II bears the blood
stains and the seven bullet holes which
caused my fathers death. IT is incon-
trovertible proof Of this dreadful crime.
In Mexico as well AZ here they have
lie first that Herrero killed my father
because he had ordered the execution
OF Herrero's father, charges which were
finally proved false. Later they In
vented the cynical farce Of suicide
The Mexican people are not giving

Mr.. Fairchild also seeks TO prevent
Atty. Gen. Palmer from enforcing the
amendment. Justice Bailey issued a rule
or Secretary Colby and the attorney
general to show cause July l3 why the
motion should not be granted.
The basis OF the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification OF the
amendment by the West Virginia legis-
lature was illegal because accomplished
by, fraud and that the proposed ratifi-
cation by the Tennessee legislature also
would be illegal on the ground that the
leeislature lacked authority under. the
states constitution to act on the
measure.
Only thlrty-five states have ratified
the amendment and as ratification by
one other is necessary the attack on the
amendment through the courts at this
time came as surprise In suffrage
circles here, An attack on the legality
