WHAT MEXICAN

Sanchez Alvarez, former prominent
mine and land owner at Parral,
Mexico. now a lieutenant colonel in the
insurrectionary army lin Mexico. here
last night on secret business, talked
readily of the trouble in his country
and did not mind having his name
used, so confident was he of insur-
gent success.
'Of course, we don't know whether
we viii win."' he said. But many of
us prefer to die rather than to lose.
You are not getting the truth out of
Mexico, nor have you any idea of
what Is going on. We have between
1000 and 5000 men in arms. all
through Chihuahua. They are the
same kind OF men of which the rural
police are made, good lighting men,.
Our sharpshooteres service IL as good as
any.
"Polltically, we want the Americans
to know that we believe them our
friends and the action of all our
troops Will bear out that statement. I f
the United States would promise to
oversee fair election as It did in
Cuba. we would throw down our arms
ut once. That Is all we want. We
could take the City of Chihuahua If
we wanted 1t, but we could not hold
1t long at present.
ALSO we could tic UP the National
railways of Mexico. but We don't want
to do that either. While 1t Is called
the National Railways, 1t is owned by
Americans. and we don't want any
Americans helping the Mexican gov

off American property, we9will be left,
to fight our own battles, we hope.

WATER POWER SITES
Clifford Pincllors Conservation Asso-
citation Considering Plan to
HIVE Question Settled.

Washington. Dec. S.-A plan is being
considered by the National Conserva-
ton association, of which Clifford Pin
chot is president, to bring together the
advocates OF federal regulation of water
power sites and those who stand for
statel<contro. according to announce
ment made today by the executive COM
mittec of the association.
The object OF the plan, which was de-
feated by Philip p. Wells, formerly law
officer of the forest service, Is to ar
ford "a waterpower platform on which
both sides of the water power contro-
versy may unite to protect public in
tercsts and at the same time encourage
the development OF many millions of
horsepower now going to waste In the
mountain streams of the far west and
the great rivers OF the central and east
crn parts of the country"
The proposed plan has been laid be-
fore number Of engineers OF wide en-
perienoc in water power development
as well as various officers and man
ayers of hydro-eectric power COM
punies and Is said to have met with
their APPROVAL.
The basis OF the plan is developed
without delay waste or the sacrifice of
other and higher uses OF flowing wa
tors."
For this, the plan declares, private
capital must be aided by the states or
federal government through corporate
franchises, condemnation OF private
property and licenses to use public
lands and obstrlct public waters. The
power companies are to have certainty
of tenure for n reasonable length OF
time and chance for generous prof.
its on their actual Investment for the
public, the plan promises good service,
fair prices. fun publicity as to cost, hon
est capitalization and fair rentals for
public property used by the companies"
The government. II is conceded in the
plan, has no jurisdiction unless It's
land Is to be occupied. or navigable
streams affected.
