SAYS UNCLE SAM IS USUI AS A
TOOL BY DIAZ IN HIS BARBARITY AS CHRISTMAS DAY
Treaty Between Mexico anil UnitcJ
States Gives Dictator Whip Hand
Revolutionary Leader About to
Be Extradited Gives Out State
ment to the Press.
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throne would be withdrawn and with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.
