THE CHAMIZAL ZONE.
Both Countries Will Accept the
 Verdict.

Mexico City, June l5.-WithOut a protest Mexico will abide by the de - cisiOn of the arbitration court in the case of the ChamiZal zone dispute at Fl PasO. according tO a statement made tonight at the department of foreign affairs.
 The opinion also was expressed that the United States would accept the decision of the arbitratOrs. since not to do so would be a violation of the agreement to submit to arbitration. %
 The arbiters gave a part of the land to each country.
 An official of the foreign office said that Mexico was quite satisfied with the decision of the court and in timated that the report when made public officially would show that Mex leo had been the winner. He said the statement that an equal division of the disputed territory had been made. was inaccurate.
 Unofficially, it is said. tonight that the report made tO the Mexican gov ernment is that the arbiters effected compromise but that four fifths of the district was decided to be Mexican territory.

Millions of American Prop
 erty Will Be Affected NO SPECIAL PRIVILEGE
No More Concessions In
 volving Monopolies Will
 Be Granted or Extended Competition Is to Be Invited Instead. l

Chihuahua, Mexico. June l5.-Re- forms immediately affecting millions of dollars worth OI American property in Mexico were announced today. Gov ernor Abraham Gonzales declared that under the new regime foreign conces- sions which might be considered mo- nopOlies would not be extended or re- newed, and every legal effort would be made to restrict the foreign monopolies now existing in Chihuahua, one of the richest states in minerals and timber, practically controlled by American, British and German interests. Ameri- cans are the largest holders.
 Al Americans who are grieved at the downfall of the Diaz administra- tion will find their grief we'll founded" said Governor Gonzales. We do not intend to take away the riches of any foreigner who legally holds them but We realize that under the Diaz system of granting concessions with their rUinOus payments of large sums of money to Mexican politicians was a virtual selling out of Mexico.
 For years Mexico has been exploit ed by foreigners until the great body Ol tir ptopic nave uOlniDS. We Were on the verge of becoming a nation of paupers. Now all special privileges shall cease if we can accomplish it. We hope to maintain the friendliest rela- tiOns with Americans and we shall in vite all foreign capital to come in, but there will be no more selling out of the country by piecemeaI. We will invite competition not monopoly If Ameri- can capital wishes to come here it must be prepared to- compete with Mexican capital No exclusive privileges will be given foreigners.
 What is known as the company store in towns where large numbers of men are employed will be abolished This will mean that the working peo- pie will have the benefit of buying from whom they>please, and not at any one store. Of course We do not in- tend to question the right of conces- sions legally held. but We shah refuse to encourage or extend unjust ones"

TELL TALE LETTERS
 OF LUMBER TRUST
REGARDED AS PROOF OF MS
 soURPS CONTENTION.
A Combine Embracing Practically All
 of United States.

Kansas City. June 15.-A bundle of letters which passed between John A. Gorsuch. secretary of the Southwest ern Lumbermen's association. and Carl A. Drake. formerly secretary of the Eexas Lumbermen's association. and which were confiscated from DralSes office when he recently fled from Austin, Texas. put vigor into the states suit against the alleged lumber monopoly when introduced in evidence by the prosecution here to- day. Gorsuch on the witness stand admitted that the letters were genu- inc.
 The state contends that the letters prove: That fourteen lumbermen's n's associations. embracing practically the whole forest area of the United states, maintained an information bureau which kept it's members advis- ed as tO what manufacturers sold direct to the consumer. that manu- lecturers who sold to retailers and who failed to keep their association obligations were blacklisted; that members of the various Organiza tfons had agreements not tO invade one an- others territory; that GOrSuch was fearful lest the workings of the in formation bureau might violate the antitrust laws; that the Southwest ern Lumbermens association refrained from putting into its bylaws and con- stitution penalties for dealers who failed to keep membership obligations because it was feared that the organi- zatiOn might be brought into conflict with the antitrust laws"
 GOrsuch spoke in other letters of several specific cases where manu- lecturers sold lumber to retailers who failed to keep their agreement to re- strict their sales to their own terri tory. He was of the opinion that if the association members refuse to buy from these manufacturers it would be but a short time until the retailers supply would be cut off and this might induce him to be good"

FOUR DISTURBANCES
 IN MEXICAN REPUBLIC
THEY ARE WITHOUT RELATION
 TO ONE ANOTHER.
One More Serious Looks to a New
 Revolution.

Mexico City. June 15.-From four widely separated points in the repub- lie came news today of disturbances of revolutionary character. This in formation has served to efnbarrass the federal government. At the national palace the importance of the events was minimized but there appeared to be no doubt that the disturbances re- fleet a spirit of unrest and the re- turn of Madero will be welcomed. It is thought that he will be able to as sist materially in pacifying the disaf- fected elements.
 The disorders reported were in the states of Tabasco, Jalisco, Vera Cruz and Mexico. There appears to be no connection between them whatever That in the state of Jalsco is due to dissatisfaction on the part of Indians living near lake Chapala. It is a minor anti-foreign movement. directed against German and American far mers.
 In the state of Tabasco no active disturbance was reported. There q plot of a revolutionary character was discovered in the town of Comalaco. Prisoners declared they had been ask ed to join a new movement against the government. Declaring that nei- ther he nor his men were satisfied with the choice of governors in the states of Mexico and Vera Cruz, d rebel leader who is said tO have in his command more than 1000 men. boasted that he will lead his force upon Toluca. the state capital and reorganize the state government to his own liking.

 Taking mp the cudgel in behalf of Attorney General Wickersham, whom Pomerene criticised, Senator Kenyon declared that the present head of the de- partment of justice had achieved more results by his prosecution of trusts than any of his predecessors. He said that Wickersham did not require fn- structions from congress to do his duty.
 Senator Nelson created a diversion when, in applauding Wickersham's hul hs iit hfA.lstif NlisiA NiiF BiFStlll governor. of Ohio. JudsOn Harmon. when attorney general in President CleveIand's cabinet had said that the sherman antitrust law was a dead letter
