Referring to article of David
Starr Jordan in the New York
Work" maWng the direct charge
that El 1 aso Is headquarters of
an organization haviang for Its
purpose- the forcing of Intervention
by the United States in Mexico and
statin that the raid on ColumbuR

on the American side "also that
border ra.ds will not cease until
the vultures leave El Paso and
being alto of opinion as expressed
by "Washington Post that this is a

of the Immediate attention of your
