SAYS DIAz IS A DESPO7
Political Refugee Tells Dramatic
Tale to House Committee.
MEXICO HAS SPY SYSTEM HERE
Desara Charges that He Has Been
Arrested Five Times i'm United
States on Trumped Up
Charges.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-A dramatic tale
of enforced flight from Mexico and of
alleged persecution by American and Next"
can officers in this country was related
to the rules committee of the house today
by l.. De Lara, a political refugee.
After recounting his experience in Los
Angeles, Cal, where he said he was ar
rested five times on "trumped up charges
at the instance OF the Mexican government
and served more than 100 days in Jail. De
Lara exclaimed:
Il have been in jail five times since
came to the United states and have suf-
fered the third degree at the hands Of
officers; 1 have been thrown into dungeon
and kept for days with nothing to eat but
a rotten potato, and neither my attorneys
nor friends allowed to see me- am liable
to be arrested again at any time and unless
you gentlemen help me- they may get me
and hang me-"
De Lara denounced President Diaz as a
dirty despot," who had destroyed free
speech, free press and the right of ballot
in that country.
More than 10000 people have met violent
deaths for political reasons since Diaz took
the reins Of government In Mexico" said
De Lara ''He never was elected president.
He never was chosen president by votes OF
the people, but has maintained himself by
force. The Mexican government has caused
thousands Of persons to be killed because
they resisted the existing order of things
in that country and sought to restore to the
poor people the rights that were taken from
them by force"
De Lara related incidents tending to sup
port the charge that the government OF
Mexico was using a system of espionage In
the United States over political refugees
De Lara told how he himself, in order to
learn what his government was doing in
that direction had accepted employment
as spy in Los Angeles to trace the
movements Of other refugees He said he
resigned after four days.
De Lara said there were orders In Mexico
to shoot him because of his political activi.
ties. He told how he had been thrown into
jail in Mexico, but had been released as a
result Of Misunderstanding He said he
had escaped to this country through the
assistance of friends.
