meeting for considering a change in
the articles of association and another
i'm the bylaws. the latter having al
ready been approved by the board Of
governors. The change in the articles
has been talked of for a long time
and there is no material opposition
to it. 1t was not effected yesterday
as the council could not muster the
two thirds of its membership neces-
sary to pass the measure legally.
Therefore, it will have to he voted
on at either a regular or special meet
ing of the association, probably the
latter, on the occasion Of the annual
election of officers next spring. There
is plenty Of time for the council to
act in the meantime. The measure
in mind will change the boundaries
of the reservoir district, to include
about 1900 acres more land. being the
strip that lays between the Eastern
and the Highland canals.
The by law given consideration
was that measure approved by the
board of governors some time ago,
permitting a homesteader to pay as
sessments if he elected, on merely
that portion of his acreage that is
.entitled to receive water, regardless
of how much more acreage he has
signed to the association. Flatly
under the law as it now stands, be
fore one can buy water he must have
paid all his assessments. 1t is held
that the owner of titled land should
be made to till his land, sell it. or
pay the assessments if he chooses to
let it lay idle. If he has no money
he can sell some of his land That
the homesteader cannot do for he
has no title and can neither sell nor
borrow.
1t was regarded by some of the
icouncilmen that the proposed change
in the bylaws would be showing
special favor to the homesteaders.
The law was amended placing those
with titled lands on the same basis
as homesteader, c lands for instance,

DE LARA rs IN
TORREON JAIL
Mexican Socialist Who Was
in Jail in Ell Paso, Abuses
President Taft

Torreon, Mex, Aug 2S.-For scath-
ing arrangements of president TAFT
king Alfonso and emperor William.
Lazaro Gutierrez de Lara, the Mexican
Socialist who created a sensation in
the United States by his attitude to-
wards the Diaz regime and his con-
nection with the articles on 'Barbar-
Gus Mexico is now behind the bars
in Torreon charged with insulting
the heads of foreign governments.
He is the man who spent considerable
time in an FL Paso jail for creating q
disturbance in the streets.
The offence with which he is
charged was committed in speech
which he delivered in the Cine Patbe
moving picture tent
De Lara opened by making the as
sertion that he knew that the police
of Torreon were after him and would
seek his arrest and called on the
pueblo or lower class of people to pro-
tect him even 20 the extent of beating
the officers to death if necessary. He
aroused considerable interest among
his large audience
He denounced president Taft as a
man who did nothing but eat and
sleep, who countenanced slave traffic
of men, who made negroes slaves and
thought of nothing but personal finan-
$500
ing the dimensions of a hog
King Alfonso, he charged, was con-
sumptive monkey unfit to rule a ma
ton
Owing to the feeling of the popu-
lace it was deemed prudent not to
arrest De Lara during the meeting and
later in the day, disguised and incog-
nito, he skipped town, leaving his
board bill unpaid. The police, how
ever, were on his trail despite his dis
guise, and, armed with warrants sworn
out by chief of police Catarino Salinas
Perez, two secret service men, Alberto
Rodriguez and J. Cardona, followed
him to San Pedro, where he was placed
under arrest. He was brought to
Torreon by chief Of police Antonio Lo
PEE Ortiz, of San Pedro, and an escort
and held incommunicado.
After his arrest in San Pedro Amer
lean consular agent Carothers, Ger
man vice consul Hahn and Spanish
vice consul Sainz made a joint protest
TO the presidente, Manuel Oviedo,
against such utterances as De Lara
was credited with having uttered, but
were told that the Socialist was al
ready under arrest
