 Before leaving the room, how ever, I left with the foreman of the grand jury a list of witnesses who would prove that the men who at- tackled me had planned to kill me and had laid in wait for me. The grand jury did not call any of the witnesses named in the list 1 pres. ented.

WHAT DIAZ HAS DONE
For Mexico. An Able Review of
 Great Work by 3 Great Ad m 1lnistrator.

The following able article from the pen of Colonel Herring of Tue son, is reproduced from the Tucson Star, as of real interest at the pres. ent time:
 Editor Tucson Daily Star:
 Many of our citizens and a portion of the press of Arizona have lately evid- enced an inclination to support the side of the insurrectos in the present im- broglio in Mexico, and in so doing a great deal of vituperation is finding utterance against the administration of President Diaz.
 An analysis of the conditions which have arisen in Mexico since Mr. Diaz was first made President of the Repub- lie presents the following facts:
 He found nation practically witho government. Lawlessness was pre- valent in every Mexican state, and life and property everywhere were without adequate protection public credit well nigh gone, and the people generally im- poverlshed on account of the long inter- ruptiOn of industrial enterprises. Im- mensely popular on account of his mili- tary success, President Diaz at once realized that to make this popularity effective for the prosperity of his coun- try and to give it lasting peace, law and order must prevail in all the states, and financial credit of the country must be placed on firm foundation.
 A Mexican Congress was assembled !; and an immediate revision of existing laws was made; judicial procedure was established banking system, which has challenged the admiration of tinanciers the world over was created ; the laws In relation to property, and particularly to the estates of minors and widows, were carefully defined; the gold standard was adopted; religious tolera. tion was granted, and foreign missions insured the amplest protection; the mining laws of the Republic were re. vised and may generally be regarded as superior in every respest to those ill operation in the United States of Amer ica. Public education was provided foI and fostered by system of free schools for which liberal appropriations were made. The revenue laws were amplified and made effective for the support ot the government. The summary punish. ment of crime at once put an end to the robber bandits that infested nearly every state in the Republic. A system of concessions to foreign capital was early instituted in order to develop the resources of the country and to invite the investment of foreign capital. The railroad management and operation have been and are largely American Manufactures have been encouraged to such an extent that one hundred and eighteen cotton mills have been estab lished in the several states of Mexico and the production of cotton has beer

A COMMUNICATION
F,om a Southern Pacific Engineer Wuh Regard to Administration of
 Justice In Santa crux County.
To the Editor of THE OASIS.

Sir:
 Some time ago a difference arose between the Southern Pacific Rail. way Company of Mexico and it's locomotive engineers. The term. inal of the Southern Pacific of Mexico is at Nogales, Arizona. The difference resulted in a strike by the engineers and the company was forced to get men to take their places. 1 was one of the men em. ployed to fill the places of the en- gineers who were on strike.
 In Nogales, Arizona, the eym- pathy in favor of the strikers was so strong that the rights of the rail. road and the administration of justice with respect to the railroad seemed to have been entirely over looked
 It was certainly the duty of the sheriff of Santa Cruz county. of which Nogales is the county seat, to protect the employees and the property of the railroad against unlawful attacks, nor should he and his deputies have felt or dis. played antagonism. On one occa- sion when some sympathizers of the strikers in the railroad yards at Nogales threw a large stone which crashed through the window of the cab of railroad engine, barely missing the head of an em- plOye and causing much damage to the engine, the sheriff was ap- pealed to and asked to furnish protection for the railroad em- ployees and the railroad property by the appointment of at least two deputies to serve on the railroad premises. He ignored the appeal , stating that there was no distur- bance that the sheriff's office could not take care of. It thereupon be- came necessary for the railroad company to wire the Governor of the Territory for the appointment Ot four railroad policemen to serve in the yards of NOgales, which ap- polntments were promptly made.
 While walking on Morley Ave, in Nogales, about the 14th of February last, little after sunset, 1 was at tackled by four men, who, 1 am confident intended to murder me, because of my connection with the railroad. 1 say I am satisfied of this fact, because they were over heard to say that they intended tO kill me. 1 escaped. however, with slight injury, and later went before the district attorney of Santa Cruz county, and asked to have a criminal complaint sworn against one of my assailants. The district attorney was very reluctant to act In this matter, but finally agreed to do go.
 The hearing was held before the justice of the peace in Nogales and the defendant demanded a Jury trial. This put the selection ol the jury in the hands of the sheriff.
 When the jury was empaneled the district attorney did not fnc out from them whether they haC any prejudice against the railroad, or in favor of the strikers, which would make them unfit to act ai lotors in the trial of the complaint

eral ot the district attorneys ques- tions to me had no bearing on the case. Their only effect was to show to the large crowd of spectators where his sympathy lay. It is hardly necessary to say that my assailant was found mot guilty" although he admitted he had struck me.
 When leaving the room where the justice of the peace held the trial, one of the strikers deliberate ly kicked me, and called me vile names, almost in the immediate presence of the court. l protested to the court, but as the man who kicked me would undoubtedly ask for jury trial, l saw how futile it would have been for me to do any thing further.
 Upon the advice of friends, how ever, 1 thought that there might still be justice to be had in the United States. and when the grand jury of Santa Cruz county met at the April term of the district court, l wrote letter to the foreman of that body and stated that 1 wished to lay the facts before them. When called before that body, the fore man asked me to state the facts of the assault 1 had complained of. l did so and when had concluded i, he asked the members of the grand jury if any of them wished to in- terrogate me. Thereupon, one grand juror asked me if had not come into the county at the re- quest of the railroad company, ard if the railroad company had not paid my fare. 1 stated that such were the facts. He then asked me if 1 had not come into the county with the intention of taking the place of one of the strikers. said "yes." In other words," he said, "you are what is commonly called a 'scab'." 1 told him that 1 might possibly be so called by some peo- pie, but l felt that 1 was earning an honest living and was satisfied with the wages the railroad com pany was paying me, and that l did not think it was any other per- sons business to object to my working for whatever wages thought proper.
 One of the other grand jurors objected to the words used by the man who had called me a 'scab, J and another stated that the matter ought to be looked into, but out side of these two expressions ol fairness could see no inclination to probe the matter further.
 The foreman of the grand jury before dismissing nae, asked the district attorney if he had any questions to ask, and he replied that he was thoroughly familiar with the facts in the case: that tho complaint had. already been triec before the justice of the peace, anC that twelve men had aquitted tn, defendant, and that in his opinion the verdict of the jury was in ac cordance with the facts. 1 replied to him that the original complain before the justice of the peace wa merely for 8 simple assault, anC that since that time l had learned that there was a conspiracy t murder me, and that the complain I was now making to the grand jur, was for an entirely different and much graver offense. He insisted

Democratic Leaders Working Hard For
 Economy Program
Especial from United Press )

Washington, Dec. 15-All the energy of Democratic House leaders will be exerted today in an effort to remove from the machinery of their economy program the large quantity of sand dumped in when the public buildings and grounds committee of the House decided to report a public buildings pork barrel' bill at this session.
 Representative Underwood and his associates, who fought in vain to pre- vent the committees action, decided today to carry the fight to a Demo- cratic caucus, if necessary. But the committee was confident today that the caucus would be anxious to see that each Congress get ets share of a park barrel" measure.
 Chairman Sheppard, (Dem., Tex.), said today that last years billion dol lar session would be rniser1y com pared to this if his committee insists on reporting the bill. Individual measures now before the committee, on which the omnibus bill would be based, carried nearly $50, 0,000O0O for buildings. Any bill reported will car ry at least $30, 0,000. This, with the pension It'll passed this week, estimat- ed to cost s75, 900, coo yearly, will make far more than $100, 100000 before the regular appropriation bills are even begun.

OBDURATE JURY
 MAY GET PRISON FOR CONTEMPT
Especial from United Press.) )

Special from United Press.)
 St. Louis, Dec. 15-Every record in legal history went by the board when at 10 o'clock today Judge Withrow once more sent for. the jury in the McDermott will case and. in answer to his query whether they had found the verdict as he had instructed them. they answered "No." The jury had then been out 6s hours without re- turning verdict.
 Judge Withrow has power to impris- on the 5urymen for contempt, and 1t is said he will take some action of this kind today unless they sign the verdict.
 When the jury reported this morn ing, however, they seemed to take pride, in their obduracy. The case which this jury took upon itself to decide, in opposition to the instruc- tions of the court, was a simple one involving only few hundred dollars in property which Mrs. Mary Earring ton, daughter of Mrs. Bridget McDer- mott, deceased, claimed Father John White unduIy influenced her mother to leave to the Catholic church, cutting her off with $1. Judge Withrow, af- ter hearing the case, instructed the jury to bring a verdict for the de- fendant.
