ERA Of REFORM
IS PROMISED
Gov. Gonzales of Chihuahua
Will Not Extend or Renew
Foreign Monopolies.
AMERICAN INTERESTS
MAY SUFFER HEAVY LOSS
Disturbances at Four Widely
Separated Points in Mexico.
None of Them Serious.

CHIHUAHUA, July 15.-Reforms
Immediately affecting millions of dol"
lars worth of American property In
Mexico were announced today. Gov
ernor Abram Gonzales declared that
under the new regime foreign conees'
sions which might be considered mo-
nopolies would not be extended or re
newed and every legal effort would
be made to restrict foreign monopolles
now existing in Chihuahua. one of the
richest states in minerals and TIMBER
which is practically controlled by
Americans, and British and American
interests. The Americans are the larg'
est holders.
"An Americans who grieved at the
downfall of the Diaz administration
will find that their grief was well
founded,'' said Governor Gonzales.
No More Exploitation.
"We do not intend to take away
the riches of any foreigner who legally
holds them. but we realize that under
the Diaz system the granting of con
cessions with their rulnous payments
of large sums of money to Mexican
politicians was virtual selling out OF
Mexico.
''For years Mexico has been exploit
ed by foreigners until the great body
of the people have nothing 1t was
on the verge of becoming nation OF
paupers. Now all special privileges
shall cease if we can accomplish 1T
We hope TO maintain the friendhest
relations with Americans and we shall
invite foreign capital to come IN but
there will be no more selling out OF
the country by plecemeal. We Will IN,
yite competition, nSe monopoly. Ii
American capital wishes TO come here,
it must be prepared TO compete with
Mexican capital. No exclusive privi-
leges will be given foreigners.
Will Abolish Company Stores.
'eWhat is known as the company
store in towns where large numbers OF
men are employed will be abolished.
This Will mean that working peopl,
will have the benefit of buying from
whom they please and not alone from
the store. OF course we do not intend
TO question the right of concessions le.
courage or extend unjust ones,
Undoubtedly the foreigners, IN
cluding Americans. who profted so
greatly under the Diaz system will be
hard hit by the new era. but the de
termination TO upbuild Mexico and TO
improve the conditions of her poverty
stricken people, will, am sure, receive
the hearty support of the great body
of the people Of the United States. y
Governor Gonzales stated that begin
ming today, the export duty on cattle
shipped into the United States would
be removed 1t has been decided upon
by the government to allow General
Orozco to bring his insurrecto army
into the city with their arms.
The city, while the insurrectos are
here. will be protected by a commits
sion Of public order with which the
federal troops will have nothing to do.

Salt Lake is to entertain the 1872
convention of Che Master Plumbers.
The telegram from the Salt Lake dele
CATION at Galveston to Secretary Caine
brings the news and as result there
is felt a reason for rejoicing, For
many weeks before the convention con
vened the Salt Lake association of
plumbers waged a campaign to land
the convention. Atlantic City was the
only strong competitor for the conven'
tion. Assisted by the publicity bureau
of the Commercial club, the board of
governors of the club, Mayor Bransford
for the city and Governor Spry for
the state. the Salt Lake branch did
some effective work toward organizing
the delegates who were to attend the
Galveston convention, Delegates not
only received letters but descriptive
literature was sent to them days be"
fore they started to Galveston. The
publicity bureau sent out over 1000
letters to delegates in addition TO the
advertising matter,
Will Bring Many Delegates.
The coming of the Master Plumbers
convention TO Salt Lake next year
means that there will be over 1000 Wis
itors here from all parts of the coun-
try as delegates. Numerous big man
ufacturing concerns will send repre-
sentatives to the city while the con
vention is in session. In some in
stances the entire sales force of the
factories will attend the convention
and maintain headquarters.
Through the publicity bureau the
Master Plumbers association of Utah
sent TO all delegates to the convention
the following invitation:
To the Members of the Master Plumbers
Association of the United States and
Canada:
