TALKS ON IMMIGRATION.
Secretary Nagel Wants 1ncomers to
Take Up Country Life.

NEW YORK. March 11.-Immigrants
should not be permitted to stay in large
cities. but should go into the interior in
the opinion of Secretary Charles Nagel
of the department of Commerce and La
Dor, who addressed the Republican Club at
its luncheon this afternoon. He added
that it is a mistake to judge the entire
immigration situation by Ellis Island.
II think immigration matters could be
improved" said the Secretary. Il am
told that distribution Of immigration
about the country will prove a failure,
but / do not believe 1t. If we want con-
gestion in the cities we don't have to get
it from abroad. for large number Of them
are our country people who are moving
to the cities.
II am doing all I can to get represen-
tatives of state governments to induce
immigrants to go into the interior, but I
am not meeting with much success

President Diaz Proposes to Use

DECIDED IN CABINET MEETING.
Safeguarding Of Property Regarded
Of Such Importance as to
Justify Adoption of Ex-
treme Measures.
Fresh Move Against Rebels.

Under a provision of the
Mexican constitution not
utilized in fifteen years the
Mexican government will set
aside for six months certain
personal guarantees. Per-
sons detected in highway
robbery, raiding village or
farm, wrecking train, cut
ting telegraph or telephone
wires, removing a spike from
railroad track or throwing
a stone at a train will be
summarily shot by those
making the arrest. The
provision invoked does not
abrogate the powers of the
civil authorities, but it does
deny, in cases of certain
crimes, the right OF formal
trial to the accused. In the
ranks OF the insurgents are
many Americans. Should
any of these soldiers of for
tune be captured performing
a prescribed act they will not
be entitled to mercy any
more than a Mexican.

It will be days before all the bodies
