by Universal Service.

Prominent Republicans of Con-
gress today were amazed when
shown proof of the intrigues of
powerful American oil interests that
plotted the downfall of the existing
Mexican government. So extensive
did they find the mass of documents
bearing on the sinister situation that
they reserved comment pending Of
fetal action.
It was understood that the threat
ened blocking OF the proposed Con-
gressional investigation of the scam
dial is doomed to failure. Not only
did the intrigues against President
Alvaro Obregon OF Mexico impress
those who revived portions of the
evidence, but the use of names Of
high officials by plotters seemed to
be subject of particular interest.
Universal Service is informed the
oil interests are waging a desperate
defensive campaign to affect the
Congressional inquiry's possible re-
suits. Certain of their representa-
tives boast there will be no probe.
Others hope to nullify their connec-
lions with revolutionary movements
by delaying the investigation.
Action Is Expected.
The stand of the Administration
in recording its desire for an investi-
CATION is interpreted to mean that
there will be definite Congressional
action.

recognition by the United States to

gon was outlined in documentary

prominent American officials had
assured the plotters that recogni-
ton would be accorded the first
Mexican who made a progressive
gesture toward wrecking the Obre-
gon government.
That such misuse OF administra.
tive names is extremely distastful
to the Government was indicated.

MEXICAN REBEL
Chief ARRESTED
ATFABENS, TEX.
U. S. Moves to Nip Oil Ring
Plot Against Peace OF
Sister Republic.

ell PASO, Feb. 14.-Official re-
ports confirmed today tell Of the ar
rest Of Juan Merge. former Carranza
general; Primitive Hernandez and
Civic Rodriguez, also former Car
ranzista officers, by American immi-
grafton authorities at Fabens. Tex,
twenty miles below here.
They had led thirty other ex-Car-
ranzistas from the American side
into Mexico to further a revolution
airy plot in which Pablo Gonzales,
another former CarranZa general,
was reported to be involved.
This Is the first important step
taken by the United States to break
up Mexican plotting on American SOIL
in the interest of American oil COM
panies seeking to overthrow the
Obregon government.
Merigo's foray followed that OF
Francisco Murguia, who led a force
of fourteen men into Mexico. The
Merigo party was arrested on In.
formation furnished by the Mexican
authorities. They are held techni-
cally for violation Of the American
immigration laws. Their actual Of
Tense is plotting a revolution against
friendly nation.
The Murguia and Merigo sallies
were coincidsnt with small outbreaks
In Mexico, and 1t is believed there
was a concerted plan to effect u
coalition of anti-Obregop men. 1t de-
veloped that there was not sufficient
anti -Obregon sentiment TO raise even
a small army.
The arrest of Merigo and his fol
lowers may be the first Of a series
by American authorities to break
up Mexican plotting on this side of
the border. following disclosures by
the Hearst papers connecting Amer
lean oil interests with anti-Obre-
gon revolutionists. This plotting has
been shown to have its root In New
York and Washington.
