Paris, Oct 25-Porfirio Diaz, the vet
eran statesman, who for forty years
was President Of the Mexican Repuo-
lie, had just returned to Paris In an
automobile, after visiting an intimate
friend at VILE d'Avray, near Versailles,
when a Tribune correspondent called
on him to obtain his views concerning
the future of Mexico after the collapse
Of the Vera Cruz revolution, in which
his nephew, General Felix Diaz, played
the leading part. Porfirio Diaz, in spite
Of his eighty-four years, is erect and
alert and as vigorous as an old oak
tree. He was greatly relieved by the
information that his nephew, Felix, had
not yet been shot.
II had hoped they would consider
him a prisoner Of war;" he said. he
is brave and honest, and II the people
Of Mexico prefer Madero, he loves his
country too much not to bow to their
will. Perhaps he was mistaken
The ex-President was grieved to hear
that Majors Zarate and Cuesta had
been executed, but he absolutely de
cllned to express an opinion on the sit
uation. He holds himself entirely aloo'
from the political affairs Of his coun-
try. and has upon several occasions
said that he never expected to return
there.
One OF his close friends, however, as
sured the Tribune correspondent that
Porfrio Diaz was not altogether
pleased with the action of his nephew
in trying to suborn officers Of the Mex

schepps told his lawyer that he didn't
see where Mr.. Whitman got off, to
keep him penned up after he had done
his full duty to the county by telling
his story. He believes II was his story
that convinced the Jurors of Becker 5
guilt. and thinks the county owes him
a debt of gratitude which 1t repays
poorly by keeping him in jail, it is said.
Magistrate Herbert finally remanded
schepps back to the court prison until
Monday. when he will be arraigned
again.
II was learned yesterday that
Schepps's story was not the convinc-
ing testimony which led the Becker
inrors to return a verdict Of guilty.
While they considered some parts OF
his testimony worthy of consideration,
they did not look upon him as an in
valuable witness in their deliberations.
The Jurors reached their verdict upon
consideration Of all the circumstantial
evidence in the case which tended to
corroborate Roses story without the
confederation Of Schepps. 1t was said.
There were many little bits Of con-
vincing corroborative evidence in sup
port OF Roses story offered by the
state. such as the record Of the tele-
phone call which Rose sent to Becker
from the Times Square subway sta
ton after the murder, and it was such
evidence to which the jurors looked
for real corroboratlon, it was said.
There appeared to be no relapse in
Becker's iron nerve yesterday follow
ing the crushing blow dealt him in
court at midnight when he was found
guilty by the jury. According to his
keepers in the Tombs he slept wei
from / o'clock to 7 a. m. He ate a
hearty breakfast and exercised as
usual with the other prisoners early
IN the day. Many prisoners tried to
sympathize with him, but he waved
them aside and refused to say any
thing about his case or the verdict,
Some OF his counsel and his wife
visited him later In the day. Mrs
Becker spent an hour with her hus-
band, and there was an affecting scene.

Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the U. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land.
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only $4,000 acres of land under irri-
CATION in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation of even part of that extra land
for which there is water will be very large.
This is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large one left in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.
It is expected that every person inter-
eSted in the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants good investment,
will take stock in this company.
