HOOSIER TO TELL OF MEXICO.

Winchester, Ind., April 17.—W. W. Canada left Friday for Washington in answer to a telegram from Senator Fall to appear before the senate committee on Mexican affairs. Mr. Canada was appointed consul to Vera Cruz, in 1897, by President McKinley, and held the position until two years ago, when he resigned. He is well acquainted with Mexican affairs. It was Canada who rushed a cable message to President Wilson notifying him of the gravity of the situation in 1914, when United States gunboats were fired on by Mexican land batteries. The above dispatch was taken from the Indianapolis News. Mr. Canada is a relative of Mrs. H. E. Parkison and Auston O. Moore of this city. He is a frequent visitor here and is a most interesting man to meet. He knows General Leonard Wood personally and is very enthusiastic in his support of the general. He considers him the one man most fitted to be at the head of the government during the trying years that are just before us.
