WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 1!). .limn Azcona, Mexican rovoliitloniirj loader, under arrest hero aH an em bezzler and about to bo extradited to Moxlco, whore It Ih aasertod ho wll be Khot an a rebel, gave the followliiK Ktalement (o the United Presw teday: (Copyright, 1010, by the United PreKH AsHonlntlonH.) (Ily .In nn Sanchez Ahcoiiii.) If the people of the United States could realize what their own govern ment lias done to Mexicans In the pant decade, the present American protec tion which Ik keeping Diaz on the throne would be withdrawn and with in a few niontliH, perlmpH a few wcoIih, n new govorpment of the people would be Installed. I am a rcvoIutlonlHt, and for that rcaBon I am Jailed. I am charged with swindling, but all Moxlco Ioiowh I am luoucent. Also Moxlco known that If the United Stales consents to my extradition I wll he shot by Diaz's soldiers. I will out bo tho flnit. This government Is being used as a tool. Tho treaty between tho United States and Mexico Is used to give Diaz the whip-hand over men daring to oppose his tyranny. Amorlcan officials have been made to see things In the wrong light. My only hope, In my own case, Is that an awakening will soon come. The entire dissatisfaction In Mexico Ih due to distrust. Officials oppress, rob, even murder whon they think murdor necessary, In tho attainment of their despicable ends. Thoao In control of tho finances of Mexico also control Dlnz. Heads of tho Mexican trusts occupy places In his cabinet. It Is not so much against Diaz as against the triiHts that tho people are now re belling. I mysef believe that Diaz allows himself to be docelved by IiIh counsel lors. I believe this because Diaz Is wealthy, lie has stolen, of course, but not so much us other presidents wo have had. Tho Unltod StateH government Is unpopular with Mexicans meaning the masses of Mexico because they believe tho Mexican trusts are pro ducts of the American trusts. I think Amorlca Is asleop, A fair Investiga tion will convince unyHody that the financial Interests are sucking Mexi co ilry. I charge two membeis of Diaz's cabinet Corral and Mmantour with being personally responslbje for much of the prosent trouble. Doth are powerful momuers of Mexican trusts, Doth hope to succeed Diaz as president and believe that Diaz can not live many months longer. It Is (ue to the Influence of these men that I am exiled, and It is because of tie things they represent that I am a rev olutloulst. The revolutionists want to see Mex ico a republic In fact. They want to Fee Mexican cltlrcns get their JuM dues Instead of being robbed and op pressed! ut every turn. They want to hou every man have a chance to at tain the piesldenc as against the misting one-man reigns. For years they Iuim) hoped to bring that about without bloodshed by the use of the ballot. Hut the ballot In Mexico Is a farce. Mudnro, who was my friend and schoolmate In Paris, was nominated for tho presidency after Diaz had said ho would he glad to see the people govern themselves. Madero ' would liavo been elected. He was acclaimed everywhere and Diaz know that defeat was staring him In the face, so a few days hefoie election he threw Ma dero Into Jail on a charge of Insulting the ptestdeut of Mexico. As the law prohibits anyone from running Tor of fice while ho Is under the charge of the police and as a.Mdero was held In Jail until after election, Diaz was "re elected." When Madero was released ho fled the country. A warrant was Ihsued for my ai rent. I heard of It and fled to Texas bufoie It could he Mcrvcd. NEW INSURANCE LAWS ASKED FDR Commissioner Urjjcs Appointment of State Firo Marshal to Make In vestinations Says Laws Do Not Fully Cover Cover Ground. HALH.M, Or., Dec. 19. The an nun) report of Insurance Commission er S. A. Kozer, Just filed, mnkes a number of recommendations for leg islation that will be of benefit to thu state, according to his opinion, lie urges that In some respects tho Ore gon insurance laws are deficient, and do not fully cover the requirements of the utnto. He says thnt the organization and pi emotion by some frenzied finan ciers of new Insurance companies In tho paBt few yenr has become nl most as pernicious a practice as tho floating of mining corporations, and that aH the number of proponed In surance companies Is far In excess of thai required to meet the Increasing demand of business Incident to tho naturaj growth and development of the state, and that In many Instances 'hey are schemes of promoters, soma restrictions should be thrown around organization of tills class of corpora tions, and their operation and busi ness from the time of their Incorpo ration brought under departmental eupervlslon. He further urges that In keeping with the spirit of legislation In other states ami In the interest of secur ity, the law be amended so as to def initely prescribe tho several classes of Insurance business In which com panies may be authorized to engage and the amount of capital required for each particular class specified. A strong recommendation Is made for ho creation of tho office of flro mnr nhal. The report HtatcH that while a bill providing for a file maishal was Introduced during tho 1009 ses sion of the leglsjature, and fallod of enactment, It would bo a wise step for the state to have such an official, with proper authority to Investigate causes and origin of fires destroying Insurable property. With tho propor perron acting as flro marshal tho commissioner thinks the flro waste would bo reduced greatly. The commissioner also urges a rode commission to thoioughly In vestigate the matter of Insurance and prepare a code of Insurance laws to ii presented nt the session of the legislature In I'.IKI. He considers this the most Importnnt of his recommen dations, and urges action for the best Interests of tho state. He shows that during the year the receipts from the Incorporation of Insurance companies III the state were $0:1,000, while the department had. only an allowance of J 10,000 a year for expenses for the past two years, and he asks for an appropriation of $15,000 a year for the next biennial term, to meet the Inci eased demand on the depart ment Incident to the new business coming to It.
