There are no so-called insurgents IN
Connecticut; the don't know what It
means up there; the newspapers don't say
anything about it, and the people natu-
rally don't talk much about IT,
If assertions are made here which diff
fer from my views" continued Mr.. Brook
er, they are merely personal statements,
which, however. DO not change my opin-
ion, which is based on personal knowl-

Although there Is some time yet before
the expiration OF the term OF Senator
Buckley, there is already a lively inter-
est manifested as 10 his successor. Sena-
tor Buckley 1 understand, will ask for
reelection, and so far as I am aware Of,
former Gov. MacLean will also contend
for the tOga.
Business is improving right along,
added Mr. BROKER, and there is every
indication that ii Will continue 10 do so.
The cause Of the high prices Of food
stufs, in my opinion is to be found
in the high living of our people. I be-
lieve Americans are the greatest meat
consumers IN the world. There Is a
steady and ever-increasing demand for
this necessity. The population is in
creasing. and where there is steady
demand. prices naturally increase CORE
spOndingly. But there is another factor.
and that IS that more economy should

J. A Murphy, a business man OF San
Francisco. who is at the Raleigh, said
last night that the new mayor OF san
Francisco, Patrick Henry Mccarthy, Is
making good" He IS an uncompro-
missing adherent Of the cause Of labor
and a strict union man and a leader
among that class. II speaks well for
him TO have succeeded in bringing to-
gether the labor element Of San Fran
cisco and leading them on 10 victory in
the last election. AS is we'll known, 70
harmonic labor men is not the easiest
/ proposition.
Mayor Mccarthy IS a man OF broad
views, so far as the execution OF the
Sunday and other laws are concerned.
( He believes in a wide-open town. That,
however, does not imply that he tavors
or in the least would uphold infractlon
( of the police regulations as interpreted
/ by him. He looks upon the question Of
/ an open town from a common-sense point
Earr
/ size and population Of san Francisco
should be made 20 attract everybody, and
/ that this cannot be done by closing
|up everything, by denying 10 the workers
their innocent Sunday amusements. and

honest and fearless man. and viii not

Francisco may we'll look forward 10 a
reign Of peace and clean city govern

Miguel Gutierrez, a young merchant OF
Mexico City, who is travelling in this
country on business, was seen at the
1 New Willard.
/ Referring 10 stories published about
! Americans being imprisoned IN Mexico
without being admitted 20 bail or with
out being given an opportunity 70 prove
/ their innocence, Mr.. Gutierrez said that
# anything at all, the courts act quicker
/ where a foreigner, but especially. an
American IS implicated.
The law is supreme in Mexico and
! Justice IS dispensed with the same i'm
-
other civilized country. II there be any
criticism at all. It is 10 be found IN the
fact that if an American gets mo
trouble in Mexico, the authorities are
more anxious 20 give him quick trial.
or bring his case 10 the attention Of the
/ courts with more CELEBRITY. than II a Mex
+ lean were in trouble. Why? Because We
have the greatest admiration for the
/ United States. and wish 10 be on the
best Of friendship with them.
/ Furthermore" added Mr.. Gutierrez
1T is our desire 10 prove 10 the world
/ that justice in Mexico is as even handed
as in any other nation Of the first rank.
/ To argue that the administration Of law
and justice in Mexico is dilatory and
partial, is a libel and a malicious false
! hood. I need not, however, defend our
+ courts. your own American consuls and
other official representatives are fully
aware that Mexico in the matter Of ad-
/ ministering Of justice stands in line with
the United States and other first rate
nations
/ Mexico knows how 10 value its liberty
and high standing among the nations
and Will not permit anything that would
/ injure her There are many millions Of
/ American dollars and other foreign funds
/ invested. and il is true there is not a
/ more renumerative and safer field for in
/ vestments than my own country. Mex
/ ico is the trustee Of fortunes OF foreign
money and we deeply appreciate our re-
/ sponsibility. We shall defend our liberty
and good name forever, and the world
/ knows that we deserve its confidence"
"Diaz has been called every name
under the sun; he has been compared
with the Gar Of Russia. and 10 has often
/ been said that his powers exceed those
! Of the Gar Of Russia. There is no ne

/ dent Diaz. Results speak louder than
words. If Ire has been a car. he has
been a benevolent Car: If he has
ruled with a strong hand II has been
/ for the benefit Of the people and every
/ body, man. woman, and child realizes
/ his services to the country and simply
adore and love him. Before he arrived
/ in power. there were revolutions. poverty.
/ lawlessness. and no confidence"
