Washington, Dec. 5.—^President
Wilson was requested in a resolu
tion introduced today in the sen-
ate lo serer dipiomatic relations
with Metico. ■'
The r^okution was offered by
jnator Fall, Republican of New
Mexico, who as chairman of a sub
committee investigating the Mexi
can situation, declared evidence had
been found which “would astound
the world." It also asked that the
president withdraw recognition of
the €arranza government.
Senator Fall boldly charged that
the Mexican embassy, the consulate
generals in New York and San
Francisco and the consulates along
the border with the knowledge and
consent of President Carranza, had
been actively engaged in the
spreading of Rolshe
InThrilnit^rStates! "iSvYJence’ i
was said, would, be forthcoming to
bear out the charge. By this reso
lution which was sent to the for
eign relations, committee of the
senate for consideration tomorrow,
the whole Mexican problem, ad
mittedly grave in view of refusal
of the Carranza administration to
release Consular Agent Jenkins
from the penitentiaiy at Puebla,
will be put before congress. The
lat^it note from the state depart
ment calling for the immediate re
lease of Jenkins was laid before
the Mexican government on Mon
day. Word to this effect reached
the department today, but there
was no intimation as to when an
answer might be expected. An
early report from the committee on
the Fall resolution is expected and
this will put the question squarely
%
before the senate, aroused to a high
pitch by recent murders-of Ameri
cans in Mexico and the treatment
of the American consular agents.

proposed to Muriel a week ago?"
“I didn’t know It, but I suspected It
would come to that."
“Muriel asked him to give her a few
days to think It over, so she would be
sure, she knew her own mind. Then
this storm came along and the tele*
phone wires have been down until this
morning.”
But that very day Boyd WIsner
heard from the prudent maiden who
sought to make no mistake In solving
life’s greatest problem—marriage. His
quickened heart throbs were a series
of thrills as he was called to the
phone at his office, and more alluring
than the soft cooing' of. a dove were
the fluttering words, “Is that you,
Boyd?” " * •
“Yes, darl— I mean Miss* Lane.”

Twenty miles distant, lovable and
loving Muriel Lane looked out upon a
bleak, white expanse, surrounding the
old farm home. Her six little brothers
and sisters nestled about her. '
“We can trim up the Christmas tree
with last year’s spangles, children,"
she said.
“I want to see Santa Claus!" whim
pered little Tim. “If he can land on
a roof and come down the chimney, he
can ride on the air. Oh, sister, there’s
the telephone.”
It was the first time it had rung for

her eyes sparkled as the words came:
“Look to the northeast for a new star

“Boyd—” began Muriel, flutterlngly.
“No, Santa Claus, by air. Have the
tree ready and keep the children up.”
xnat wise little head of Muriel com
prehended. She was as unsettled and
expectant as the children. The tree
was trimmed, the caudles all ready for
lighting. She took a chair at the win
dow and began telling them stories.
Finally she leaned closer to the pane
and strained her glance. A speck of
luster held her vision until It had re
solved itself Into mingled colors of
red, white and blue.
“Wrap yourselves up warmly,” she
ordered. "We will all go out and look
for Santy,” and a great hush came

Mrs. Jones goes on to
