 RANDOLPH'S POSITION

| Douglas, Ariz., Feb. -(Special)- F. Mallen, Mexican consul at Fl
 Paso, has published the following communication in the Fl Paso Herald. As it relates to Fl Tigre matters, it will be interesting to Douglas read CTS: Fl Paso, Feb. 26.
 Editor Herald:
 Much publicity has of late beer of Tucson, Ariz., succeeding B. F. Graham as president of the Ensenada Mining Company. Mir. Randolph was interviewed by a newspaper cores. i pondent in Tucson and proceeds to publicly give his reasons for coming out and announcing himself as MT. Graham's financial packer and why | he was forced" to do so.
 The position taken by Mir Randolph is grave and serious one and can. not remain uncontradicted.
 MT. Randolph is the representative of what are known as the Hartman | interests in railroads in Mexico, and | it is presumed that he, as a sensible business man, is making these vast in vestments on the basis of their full protection under the stable and fixed i rules of the laws and constitution of l the republic of Mexico.
 The investments he represents are made safe and sure by the fixed rules of the laws of Mexico, and he is de- pendent upon the certain and just ad- ministration of those laws by the courts of Mexico.
 It now Appears that under the ar rangement with MT. Graham, Mr. Randolph has provided the means whereby Graham could, first, sit in l judgment on his own case; second, de eide his case in his own favor by aG- | judging the payment made by the | Tigre Mining Company to the Miners | & Merchants Bank not a payment; third. decree the Tigre mines forfeit ed to the Ensenada Mining Company, and with an armed force enter the re- public of Mexico and forcibly take | possession of the Tigre mines.
 Thus far MT. Randolph seems to have been a lawmaker himself, and he publicly acknowledges his respon- l sibility for the acts of his agent Ora ham, in all his efforts to secure a rich | mining property without consulting the owners or without compliance with the requirements of law. | MT. Randolph, in his interview, re- | fers to the powerful influences in Mexico that have worked the undoing of his man Graham; expresses his at tempts to pervert the laws of Mexico;
 shows the plot and scheme of the En-
 senada people to deprive the Tigre
 Mining Company of it's property, re-
 sulting in the removal of two judges {; the restoration of the property to the
 owners, a judgment of the court at
 Cananea declaring that the property had not been forfeited for nonpay'
 ment as claimed by Messrs. Randolph
 and Graham; and the affirmation oi
 this judgment by the supreme court
 of the state of Sonora.
 The Tigre Mining Company and all others have thus far been given the ! full protection of their property rights : under the laws of Mexico through the prompt action of the courts and ofh cials, but the result does not seem tc , afford MT. Randolph any particular
 satisfaction or comfort, and the gen 1. tleman intimates that he, MT. Ran dolph, the representative of invest ing millions, is a powerful influence : in Mexico and now that he has showr l himself as the force behind Graham , things will be different
 If the above statements attributed to Mir. Randolph were made by him | he offers a gratuitous insult to tht
 administration of Mexico and our hS loved president, when he intimate.
 that law and justice in the republic [ are a matter of executive favor, |; subject of barter and sale.
 President Roosevelt never hesi tates to remove an official who act: r illegally and from improper motives r and his, people love him for it.
 President Diaz. likewise, never hes , itates to decapitate an unfaithful off
 cial.
 regret that MT. Randolph ha! 5 adopted such an inconsiderate and un
 just standard in judging our officials 5 but I am sure he will find that thu
 property interests he represents il ? Mexico will at all times enjoy thu
 full protection of the law from inva s sion by an armed force. as the Tigrt } Mining Company has had from Gov
 ernor Yzabal, the courts and othe officials.
 Mir Graham is now a fugitive iron justice of Mexico. His acts in takini - possession of the Tigre mine havt , been declared violations of law fo
 which he must answer.
 f It has been said in this case iha , the stability of the Mexican law wa 3 on trial. So far these laws have beer f administered fairly and justly. with B out fear or favor, to the rich and the poor alike.
