WASHINGTON, D. C.. Pec. 24.—Collector
Prank Rabb today telegraphed Senator
Bheppard from Brownsville that "there la
not a word of truth" In the charges pub-
Uahed yesterday In New York and Wash-
ington newspapers, aa a "special" from the
City of Mexico that Rabb had been In*
trlgnlng In Mexico In an effort to make
General Luclo Blanco President of that
Republic.
The telegram was In response to one sent
Rabb yesterday by Senator Sbeppard call-
ing on Rabb for a statement of his alleged
activities In Mexico.
Rabb, in his telegram to Sbeppard, de-
clared he had not mixed In Mexican affairs,

had not made an effort to make Blanco
President, though ho said Blanco was a
friend of his of many years' standing, and
he emphatically denied any connection with
an alleged "syndicate" which the City of
Mexico charges said was backing him.
These charges must have been caused by
a "brainstorm," Hubb declared.
Senator Sbeppard will investigate the
matter further. Representative Garner,
who was mimed as 0110 of the "syndicate,''
started today an independent Investigation
of Rabb's alleged activities In Mexico and
will press the passage of bis resolution,
now In the Honse, investigating Rabb, as
soon aa Congress reconvenes.
Garner received private telegrams today
from San Antonio, which were not given
out, alleging that Rabb was to have re-
ceived a valuable railroad concession In
Mexico In return for his efforts for Blanco,
u Blanco became President.
It Is not Improbable that the charges
will be investigated by a congressional
committee when Congress reconvenes. The
Treasury also will probe the matter.
Meanwhile Garner is after Rabb's official
scalp harder than ever.
KIRBY DON'T KNOW BLANCO
Had No Knowledge of Any Steps Taken
to Make a President,
Special Telegram to The Express.
HOUSTON. Tex, Pec. 24.—"Yon ran say
for me that I do not know General Blanco,
hardly ever h^rd of him. and that I know
as utile abont Mexican revolution A as auy
man In the country. The only Mexican T
know Is Porflrlo Dial, and he's nway off
In Spain. I do not. know Mr. Rabb and
never met several of the other gentlemen
named as being Interested In a movement
to make Blanco president."
In this manner John H. Klrby denied
all connection with the so-called Byndl-
cate of Americans, formed to make Gen-
eral Locio Blanco president of Mexico. The
story was printed In New York and Wash-
ington and mentioned the names of Frank
Rabb, collector of customs at Laredo; Sen-
ator Sbeppard, Congresman Garner, Ed-
ward Brodlx and George Braekenrldge of
San Antonio and M. .(. Slattery of the
Brownsville Herald, In connection with
that of Mr. Klrby, aa being Interested In
such a move.
"The story Is ridiculous," said Mr. Klrby,
"as I have not the slightest interest in

i
absolutely nothing."
Mr. Klrby declared that he baa not the
slightest Men bow Ills name came to be
connected with such n story.
