at Aguas Calientes.
Neither has been heard of since.
She said she believed they were mur?
dered for what little money they car?
ried. She was obliged then to make
her way along, Mrs. Willis testified.
She appealed to the American consul
at Aguas Calientes, but he sent out
word that he was too stele to see her.
Through the permission of Mexican
officials she was allowed with her two
infants to ride on a Mexican troop
train to Chihuahua.
The American consul there gave her
money with which she reached Juarez,
across the American border from El
Paso. Without sufficient funds to get
a room at a hotel there, she was forced
to sleep'under trees. American immi?
gration officials at Juarez refused to
aid her, she testified, and American
Consul Edwards also ignbrj^k-her re
quests for assistance to cross the
border, she asserted.
Fall Refuses Mexican Invitation
Senator Fall in a telegram to-day,
answered the request of Luis Caberria,
Mexican Minister of Finance, that Sen
rota Fall personally go to Mexico to
investigate that country from the in?
side. A message was received by Sen?
ator Fall early to-day from Cabrera. It
was couched in words of subtle Latin
suaveness suggesting, between phrases
of amity and politeness, that the Amer?
ican Senator would do better if he
ceased viewing the Mexican situation
"through the keyhole of a door dis?
torted by the lenses of prejudice or by
influence of specially interested par?
ties."
"Cabrera, who was ? referred to in
yesterday's hearing as "Acting Presi?
dent of Mexico, although in reality
Secretary of the Treasury?which treas?
ury was many thousands of pesos
short," offered to send a special train !
to the Mexican border to conduct Sen- j
; ator Fall into the interior of Mexico.
"I regret that under the Constitution I
and laws of the United States no of- '
flcial of this government can extend
to you the reciprocal courtesy of a
special train as government funds arc
used for governmental purposes," wa:;
Senator Fall's answer to the Mexican
Treasurer.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 15 (By
The Associated Press).?Propagandists
of Bolshevism have spread their doc?
trine of radicalism from Sonora to the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec within a year,
the Senate sub-committee was told to?
day by an American traveling salesman.
The witness was heard in secret ses?
sion in order that he might be guarded
to that extent against reprisals by
Mexicans.
Carranza, when forced to choose be?
tween two small armies in the south,
cne led by the Federal commander and
the other known as the Bolshevik force,
declared in favor of the latter, he as?
sured the committee. Striking labor?
ing men in other districts, he said,
were frank in their declaration of ad?
herence to the radical cause, and al?
most everywhere ho went he found un?
disguised evidence of the success of i
the extremist agitators.
"I have told the American Consuls ?
in Mexico about the conditions," he
i ?stified, "but I could always note that i
they were adverse to hearing the facts, i
and especially where it reflected un- ?
favorably upon the Carranza govern?
ment. They would rather converse
with some fellow who knew nothing
about Mexican conditions.
Says U. S. Upholds "Bolshevik Gang"
"Mr, Wilson seems to be hypnotized
by Mr. Carranza," he added.
"If the Amerivan government should
cease to support Carranza he would
not last thirty days. The merchants
and business men of Mexico want law
and order, but they cannot hope for !
such while the Bolshevik gang is up?
held by the American government."
As an indication of the openness
with which Bolshevism is taught in
Mexico, he told of a method employed
in Guaymas, Sonora, when he was there
a year ago. A man was making a j
speech in one of the public parks.
"The man got up on a bench and :
sang to attract the crowd," the wit- ?
ness said. "It was the hymn of the
Bolsheviki. When the crowd became !
larger he continued his speech and
then ho repeated the song. He had ;
copies of the song printed in a
pamphlet which ho distributed. Re-1
turning to the bench, he again sang, !
this time the crowd joining in the |
song. The next evening the same man !
spoke in the theater, his announced j
subject being 'The Doctrine of Bol- I
8hevism.' " \
Three months ago, according to his j
testimony, he was in Orizaba, south of j
Mexico City, at the time a Btrike was
in effect. He attended meetings of the
strikers and listened to speeches by
radical agitators and to the crowds
crying "vivas" for the Bolsheviki and
for Russia.
Radicals Upheld by Carranza
It was in August in 1919. ho said,'
that Carranza upheld the militant radi- j
cal? in Tabasco. A Mr. Green, who. the
witness said, was a descendant of an
American, had declared himself elected
governor. He asserted Green was not
the choice of the people, but Green
had the local army and retained his
power until tho appearance* of a Fed?
eral force commanded by General Ber

plaints, of the merchants and land
owners who alleged reprisals by Green,
overpowered the local army.
"Green's troops were called the
'Reds' and the 'Bolsheviki' by the peo?
ple in that state," said the witness.
"It seems Bertani made a mistake in
disarming these troops," he added,
"because Carranza called him to ac?
count for it, called him to Mexico
City, lectured him and restored "Green
to power with an army to support
him against the will" of the people.
Ever since that time, however, Tabasco
has had two governors, one the people
want and one that Carranza wants."

Recalls Former Visit
In a statement which he prepared on |
the journey across the Atlantic, Sir j
Oliver recalled his first visit to this '
country in 1884, when he attended the ;
meeting of the British Association at !
Montreal. He said he called at Hor
vard University during ttic vacation I
time and had little opportunity of ?
meeting many of the faculty. He made I
another visit to America in 1881', he j
said, but had to hurry home. "I recall
Professor Barker, of Philadelphia," he !
said, "and Rowland, of Baltimore, and
corresponded with them after I re?
turned.
"John Fiske, of Harvard, spoke in
London and his lectures made a pro- I
found impression upon me.
"If the British and Americ.in nations ?
hang together and cooperate in good
works, their interaction wil be of the
utmost benefit to the- human race.
Nothing will so powerfully operate
to put down oppression and check need- j
less conflicts with a high hand."
S?r Oliver said his subjects on the ?
lecture platform would in the main be '
physics and psychics.
"In physics," he said, "my chief mes- !
sage relates to the ether of space and j
incidentally to the structure of the atom
of matter. My object is to keep ether j
and mind firmly in the forefront oF: j
natural philosophy. Matter, 'ether and
mind are the threefold mental entity,
without clear apprehension of which the j
problems of the universo cannot be ,
solved.
"The material body is left behind at?
death. The ethereal body persists. An
other message of mine is that our senses
are no criterion of existence. They wore
evolved for very earthly reasons, not for
purposes of philosophy. And if we re?
fuse to go beyond the direct evidence of
our senses we shall narrow our outlook
on the universe to a hopeless and almost
imbecile extent.
"We must enlarge our minds to take
in facts of all kinds. All our philoso?
phy must bo based upon fact, scrupu
ously examined and carefully recorded.
No fact is to be refused admittance
because of apparent unlikelihood or im?
possibility. We have to find out what
is possible, not to enter upon an in?
quiry with closed minds full of prej?
udice. I want people to accept the
totality of things and not to neglect
one side in order to emphasize the
othar. Let us see life sanely and sec
it whole."

Nine Factions
Take Step to
Adopt Treaty
Continued from pag-e l
of the league or not, under the pro?
visions of Article X, or to employ the
military or naval forces of the
United States under any article of
the covenant, unless in any particu?
lar ease Congress shall, by act or
joint resolution, so provide."
Mr. Bryan conferred with Senator
McKellar as soon as he reached the
Senate, and later talked at length with
other Democrats and with Republican
"mild reservationlsts."
Mr. Bryan said he is not interested
in the terms of the compromise he
hopes to see adopted, and thgt he is
interested only in preventing the Dem
oc*atic party from being responsible
for long delay in ratifying the treaty.
He expressed the opinion that Pres?
ident Wilson would accept whatever
compromise the Senate might work out,
provided it did not ratify the treaty
with the Lodge reservations unchanged.
Mr. Bryan protested against pub?
lished, reports of the Jackson Day din?
ner to the effect that he had "split"
with the President. He said that he
was trying to get the treaty ratified,
and agreed with the President that if
the Senate refused to ratify it the
people should be appealed to next No?
vember. He continued:
"I believe an overwhelming major?
ity of the American people want the
treaty ratified right away. There is a
great deal more interest in speedy rat?
ification than there is in phraseology,
mat is, the republic will indorse any
arrangement that is made here if the
arrangement hastens ratification and
takes this issue out of the way.
Nebraskan Urges Agreement
"An agreement is infinitely better
than any other settlement, for two
reasons:
"First, it takes the question out of
politics, and permits both parties to
turn their attention to very important
domestic issues.
"Second, it permits ratification by a
larger majority than would be possi?
ble under any other plan. This gives
the greatest possible weight to our ac?
tion, and has a tremendous influence
abroad.
"These two reasons help us at home
as well as abroad, and ought to be
sufficient to compel an agreement. I
feel sure, that the expressions from
the public, constantly growing in num?
ber and force, will compel an agree?
ment among the eighty-one Senators
who voted for ratification in some form
?at least, an agreement among enough
to furnish the necessary two-thirds
majority.
"In my speech at the Jackson Day
dinner I went further. I suggested a
way by which the Democrats could
compel a settlement; namely, by letting
a majority of the Senate take the re-.
Bponsibility for action if an agreement
is found impossible. I said the Demo?
cratic party could not ufford to go
before the country on the issue that
a minority of the Senate had the right
to dictate the policy in case of a dis?
agreement.
Two-Thirds of Quorum Can Ratify
"The party could not afford to take
advantage of a constitutional provi?
sion requiring a two-thirds majority
to ratify, because that would simply
mean a filibuster against a majority,,
and in this day we could not defend
a course which would make it harder
to ratify a treaty and end a war than
to declare war, which can be done by
a majority. If the Constitution were
to be rewritten in the light of present
day sentiment, 1 think that a majority
would be able to terminate a war.
"I have been asked how the Demo?
cratic party could enable a majority
to cast the two-thirds vote necessary
for ratification. The answer is that
two-thirds of a quorum can ratify, if
a quorum is present. In other words,
a two-thirds vote is two-thirds of those
present and voting. The Democrats,
simply by refusing to vote, would make
it possible for a majority of the whole
Senate to cast the two-thirds vote
necessary to ratification.
Plan Not a. Concession
"If any one thinks this plan I have
outlined is a concession to the Repub?
lican party, ho hasn't thought the mat?
ter through. Yielding to the majority
in this country does not mean cither
an approval of what the majority does
or the ending of the contest. It is sim?
ply acquiescence in the will of the ma?
jority, which Jefferson says is the first
rule of a republic from which there is
no appeal except to force.
"An appeal can be made to the coun- :
try to reverso in the league of nations ;
any action taken by the Senate, and to '<
authorize the restoration of any pro- .
vision stricken out. My opinion is that
the Democratic party can make a much

more successful fight before the. people
for authority to restore, than it can for
authority to retain, if it must share re?
sponsibility with the Republicars for
fourteen months' delay.
"The world is in a chaotic condition.
Yesterday's papers recorded a mob of
30,000 people before the Reichstag in
Berlin. We have proclaimed the bene?
fits of a democracy in which the people
rule, and in a number of countries the
people have accepted our invitation or
advice and are trying to frame govern?
ments like ours. '
"We are not strengthening those
governments when we allow less demo?
cratic governments to ratify and con?
clude peace and establish a league of
nations while we spend months wran?
gling over the wording of reserva?
tions. The people trying to follow our
example find it difficult to defend our
government if we, who insist that the
majority have a right to rule, are not
willing to uphold our own doctrine in
our own country as applied to our own
legislative bodies.
"I believe we can put the Repub?
lican party on the defensive before the
country by proposing, first, an imme?
diate compromise, if a compromise is
possible, and second, oy throwing the
responsibility on the Republicans for
immediate action in case a compromise
is impossible. Wo could appeal then
for reinstatement of any essential
provisions?that is, that the Democratic
party considers essential?which the
Republicans cut out.
"There is one story which would ap?
peal to the sense of justice in the
American heart, which, after all, is the
only hope of popular government. It
is an illustration of the Senate's posi?
tion. Two women, claiming to be the
mother of a child, appeared before a
judge who could not decide from the
evidence as to the parentage. He pro?
posed that the child be divided, each
claimant being given half. The false
claimant was willing, but the mother
was not.
"So I think we would gatn, rather
than lose, by thi owing upon the Re?
publicans the responsibility for writing
in provisions if a compromise proves
impossible. The Republican party
would go before the country with the
responsibility of six months' unneces?
sary delay, because the reservations
could have been agreed on first as well
as last. If it did not present a settle?
ment immediately, it would be in the
light of willingness to continue for
fourteen months more the delay, not?
withstanding it menaced the peace of
the world and prevented considera?
tion of domestic questions.
"The Democratic party, on the other
band, would show that it was willing
to let the Republican majority be eon
sidoted as a two-thirds majority in
order to end the war and put our coun
I try in m position of helping to estab
I lish peace, and at the same time give
I attention to domestic problems. On
j this record we could appeal to the
! country for authority to make such
! restoration as seemed wise.
I "The Republicans would secure ini
| mediate action. The Democrats would
I be put in a much more advantageous
j position in the next campaign than
I they could be if they had to go before
the people sharing responsibility for a
; delay which involves risks that nobody
I can estimate."
"Do you think," Mr. Bryan was asked,
: "that the President would accept any
: compromise such as suggested?"
"That is a good question and I wish
l you would take down my answer," Mr.
I Bryan began. "I do not know anybody
who has authority to say what the
President would accept, and I do not
think it would be fair to ask him in
? advance what he will accept, for, hav?
ing negotiated the treaty, to suggest
changes might put him in the attitude
? of a breach of faith with the Allies.
| The treaty was a compromise, and he
| could hardly suggest a surrender or
| its terms in advance of the action of
j the Senate.
"If the Republicans do agree to the
terms that the Democrats think are
the best' that can be offered, and the
responsibility is thrown on the Re?
publicans for action, the Republicans
would have to act with the knowledge
that the President can refuse to sub
| in it the treaty with reservations adopt
j ed, and, secondly, that the Allies might
' refuse to accept the reservations after
j ratification. That is the risk that the
Republicans have to take, if they are
I allowed to have their way. And that
! is why they would be likely to go as
I far as they thought they co*uld in the
way of concessions, even if they could
have their own way by the Democrats
withholding their votes."
