can congress, wealthy mining engineer
of Guadalajara, Mexico, and vehement
defender of President Diaz, asserted in
Los Angeles yesterday that if the Mex
lean Liberals recently released from the
prison at Florence, Ariz., send a copy
of their anti-Diaz newspaper into
Mexico the United States government
will be asked to extradite the men.
Once in Mexico they will be punished
for insulting Diaz, says Isabel.
|. Unterrified by Congressman Isabeps
statement, Gutierrez de Lara, speaking
for the Liberals, said last night that
the first issue Of the newspaper, which
will present the views of the Liberals
and which will be known as ''Regenera-
cion," will appear September 8. Ten
thousand copies will be printed, he
says, many of which will go into
Mexico.
"If De Lara, Magon and the other
Mexican revolutionists start their
paper in Los Angeles and send any
copy of it across the Mexican line
that contains an item which is an in
suit to President Diaz or the Dlaz
regime, my country will then ask the
United States government for the ex-
tradition of the men to Mexico, SAID
Senior Isabel yesterday. He is on mis-
way home after having conferred with
French and English f1nanciers relative
to the sale of valuable Mexican mining
interests. He has no respect for the
Liberals who have made Los Angeles
their headquarters, and in speaking
about them said:
DANGER OF EXTRADITION
"Magon, De Lara and their compan-
ions are the worst kind of Mexicans
/ OH
caste than the commoneSt revolution
lists. each one of whom wants to be
ruler. The desire to rule seems to be
in their blood. My government GER
tainly will demand their extraditlon
should they send their riot-inciting
papers across the Mexican line.
"They are against Diaz because they
could not get political positions. When
they published their last paper they
insulted the president of our republic,
and If they ever cross the Rio Grande
they will be Immediately arrested.
"For insulting Diaz these revolution
lists may be sentenced to three or four
years imprisonment"
When asked if the men might be
prosecuted and sentenced tosdeath on
other charges the congressman replied:
''Well, they would be given a trial.
Diaz is the Roosevelt of Mexico, IN
Mexicans, he says, are happy and pros
porous under the Diaz regime. In
telling of the recent reelection to the
presidency of Diaz he stated that out
of four million votes cast Madero, the
opponent of Diaz, received only 15,OOO.
During the election Madero was held
in a Jail, charged with having violated
several of the republics laws.
Senior Isabel left last evening for MS
CnTy
to this country, his eldest son having
decided to enter a college in the east.
He will make the trip with his son, and
on the return journey will remain IN
this city for several days.
