Mexicans In the United States who
oppose Diaz.
Jcnn Kenneth Turner. author oI
Barbarous Mexico" and l.. Gutierrez
DeI.ara. HIS co-worker and MeAicas
suthor and lawyer, will produce doeu-
nientary evidence which they DeileNe

Following are the statements upon
which they base the allegation mat
the laws In America are stretched 10
accommodate Diaz:
The Guggenheims control absolute
~ the entire copper output OF Mexico;
own practically all the smelters ahu
the mines.
Influence of Rubber Trust.
The Continental Rubber Co.. which

Turner declares that all these
financial interests so heavily indebted
TO Diaz have paid their obligations By
bringing pressure on the federal gov

pleading danger to American capital
unless Diaz's wishes are complied
with.
There are number OF ways
adopted By the agents OF the Mexican
government TO prosecute political
refugees said Turner today. The
ultimate idea is either to have them
returned to Mexico where they are
quickly disposed of. or TO have them
In the United States.
Charges Are Flimsy."
Zone method is TO charge them with
murder and robbery In Mexico. We
have evidence showing that In many
cares the bills fled against Mexicans
In America do not even verify the
place where the alleged robbery oc-
CURED nor the date. The Robbery
and murder charge had developed out
OF q revolution In Mexico a number
OF years. ago.
sAnother way Is through the immi-
grafton inspectors. Attempt is made
to have Mexicans deported as unde-
slrable aliens-as anarchists or I'M
healthy We can prove that in several
Instances this attempt has been made

States for three years or more. The
law saws an alien cannot be deported
after two years.
again there have been deliberate
attempts in towns along the border
line TO kidnap Mexicans and hurry
them over the line TO police waiting
there. Officials have winked at this
sort of thing too.
FINALLY. attempt Is made TO jail
The refugees on the ground that they
are parties TO conspiracy TO violate
the neutrality laws OF the United
states and are attempting TO raise an
armed force In this country with
which 10 invade Mexico.
THE Mexican government employs
various detective agencies in America
TO spy upon refugees and to urge the
federal authorities TO wink at viola
tions OF the law.
Troops have been ordered to the
Mexican border by the war depart
ment with orders to turn back
refugees-which means turning them
back TO be shot-notwithstandin a
Mexican is supposed to be able to en-
ter America without a passport
