II JUAREZ
Files Contest Against Nomi
nation of W. W. Bridgers
For District Attorney.
ALLEGES 'FRAUD
AND INTIMIDATION
Alleging anions other things tliat
of 10 men who were in the penlten-
tiary at the time of the July primaries,
were polled, also that 160 persons who
cast their votes at that time were
not citizens of this country, C L.
Vowell, anti ring candidate for dis
trict attorney, Saturday afternoon
filed his petition in the 41st district
court contesting the nomination of W.
W Bridgers, who was declared the
nominee for that office at the dis
trict convention recently held.
As to the district convention the
contestant says: "Contestant is in
formed and belieTes that a certificate
was issued to the contestee by the said
convention but brings this contest to
set aside and review the certificate
of nomination on the ground that the
returns from the primaries were il
legal, erroneous, and tainted by the
misconduct of election officers.
Says Convention Illegal.
The contestant alleges that the con
vention held here on Aug. 24 was an il
legal convention, and was called with
out notice.
The votes for the contestee cast for
the contestee in precincts Nos. l, 2,
3, 6. 7, 16, and 20. the contestant al
leges were Incorrect, and there was il
legality and fraud perpetrated in each
of those precincts in the marking ot
the ballots for Illiterate Mexicans and
other persons who were unable to
Tcad and write the English language.
In precinct No. 1, the contestant al
leges there were 100 votes illegally
marked by the judges in favor of the
contestee. In precinct 2, it is charged
that there were 125. votes marked in
that way. when it was the desire ot
the voter to have his ticket marked for
the contestant. The voters It was
alleged were unable to tell for whom
the ticket was marked and had to rely
upon the honesty of the person mark
ing It. In precinct 3, the, contestant
alleges that 75 votes were marked for
the contestee when the voter ex
pressed his desire to Tote for him.
Charges Armed Men at Polls.
The contestant further alleges that
in precincts No. 1, 2, and 3, during the
day of the election the voting places
were surrounded ty men wno were
armed, all of them there in the inter
est of the ticket upon which the con
testee was running, and were there
for the purpose of browbeating, in
timidating, and interfering with the
Voter. It Is alleged that threats of
personal violence, or of putting the
voter in jail if they refused io Tote
for the ring ticket were made.
In precinct No. 20, the contestant
alleges that the presiding judge was
an ardent supporter of the ring ticket,
and that he acted as judge without
any supervisor knowing or having the
opportunity of knowing how he marked
60 tickets. It is charged that in pre
cinct 25, So votes were polled, and that
all of the voters with the exception of
seven or eight were- Mexicans and un
able to make out their tickets. The
contestant alleges that In this pre
cinct he and his friends had one Val
Verde, a Mexican of great lnlluence
in that section, and upon Val
Verde they depended in having their
votes properly marked. The contest
ant says that prior to the election a
deputy sheriff arrested and placed Val
Verde in custody, and it is alleged
that there was no charge against the
defendant. "It developed afterwards,"
the petition reads, "that there was no
charge against Val Verde at the time
he was arrested. The sheriff under
whom the officer was making the ar
rest, the contestant says, was a can
didate on the ticket on which the con
testee was running.
The contestant further says that the
officers of the election of the con
tested precincts allowed the official
ballots to be out of the voting boxes,
and that they were frequently seen on
he outside of the voting places. It
is alleged that some of the ballots
were prepared at other places as di
rected by law.
The returns show that 3004 votes
were polled for W. W. Bridgers, and
2734 for Vowell, giving Bridgers a
plurality of 270.
In conclusion the contestant prays
the court to review the certificates of
nomination of Bridgers and certify his
nomination as the Democratic nominee
for district attorney to the secretary
of state so that his name might be
placed on the official ballot for the
general election in November.

United States Senate Wants
to Know Who Furnished
the Money.
BIG CORPORATIONS
MAY BE QUIZZED
President Madero's revolution, which
plabed him In office. Is to be investi
gated by the subcommittee of the Unit
ed States senate, appointed to ascer
tain what American corporations or in
dividuals, if any. financed the Mader
Ista revolution, the present Oroico and
Zapata revolutions and the Cuban rev
olution. Albert B. Fall, United States senator
from New Mexico, arrived in El Paso
I1 riday afternoon to mats an invM.
gation of the Mexican situation as a
member of the subcommittee of the
committee on foreign relations. Sen-
ator Fall will remain here until Sun-
day afternoon, when he will proceed
to Los Angeles, where he will mt
senator William Alden Smith, chair
man oi ine suocommittee, and together
they will return to El Paso to continue
the investigation in El Paso and also
at Douglas and other border points if
it Is found necessary.
Senator Smith Will Join Fall.
The purpose of this investigation,
as framed in the original resolution
Introduced by senator Nelson, was to
investigate the connection any corpo
rations or persons, owing allegiance
to the United States, had in the orig
inal Madero-DIaz revolution or in tne
present revolution of Orozco's. The
committee Is composed of members of
the foreign relations committee of the
senate with the addition of senator
Fall, who was added to the committee
by unanimous vote of the senate be
cause of his familiarity with the Mexi
can situation. Senator Smith ' will
leave Grand Rapids. Mich., on Monday
anu win pass tnrougn mi Paso en
route to Los Angeles. He telegraphed
senator Fall in El Paso to Join him
here, but senator Fall decided to con
tinue to Los Angeles, stopping en
route at Tucson. The subcommittee
agreed that any two of the committee
could take evidence and investigate,
and as the other members were unable
to get away at this time senators Fall
and Smith will conduct the present in
vestigation In the southwest
Report of Standard Oil Aid.
Not only is this investigation to be
made as to who is financing the pres
ent Orozco revolution, or rather wheth
er or not American Interests are be
hind it. but it is also to make an in
vestigation of the Maderista revolu
tion in order to determine. If possible,
what connection the big corporations
had with the .financial part of, the rev
olution against "Diaz. Although sena
tor Fall did not say so in an interview
Friday afternoon, it is generally under
stood that the resolution creating the
subcommittee was introduced because
of reports that the Standard Oil or
Its subsidiary companies had had a
part in the financing of the Maderista
rirntiitlnn rPhIc Imnnfto - nnint )a
Tlnrtrf rt t rnTfarcnen -nh.i eanqtn.
Fall had with newspaper men upon his i
arrival uriaay arternoon.
Explain Erfort to See Orozco.
Senator Fall explained his reported
effort to see Orozco while the latter
was in Juarez. "I knew Orozco several
years ago when he was a freighter for
a number of mines in which I was. at
mat time, inierestea, senator lall
said. "I had heard reports that he had
said something about where the money
for the Madero revolution had come
from. I knew Orozco when he was a
freighter in Chihuahua and talked with
him here before the first revolution,
regarding some contracts he wished to
get for the mining companies in Mexi
co, in which I was at that time Inter
ested. "I did not think lie knew much about
where the money for the Madero revo
lution came from. But I had confi
dence in him and thought he would
tell me the truth. Of course he knew
who gave it to him, but I doubted if
he knew from whom the revolution
had obtained this money. A statement
to this effect also appeared in a mani
festo which Enrile issued here and
which purported to be signed by Oroz
co. In this and other statements. I
had beard that Orozco had said that
the money for the revolution had been
J.ut up by American corporations. It
was for this purpose, and as a part ot
this Investigation that I telegraphed
mayor C E. Kelly to know where he
was. My reason was that he had stat
ed that certain Americans had put up
money, during the Madero revolution,
and I wished to see him purely In con
nection with this investigation. AVhen
I found that I could not get here be
fore he left I let the whole matter
Urop.
Denies Spoiling Pence Pact.
"As for the report that I spoiled the
peace plans which minister Hernandez
was making with Orozco, all I can say
is that it was ridiculous. I made this
denial as a point of personal privilege
in the senate after I had waited for
minister Calero to deny that Madero
had made the statement that I had
