FlclAL STATEMENT.

! w. B. Fuller chief engineer Of The
Mexico Northern Power company tha
is harnessing an immense irrigation
project in Mexico which involves the
sum Of $1O,00O,0oO, arrived in Las
Vegas yesterday for a short visit with
DR.. f. B. Romero and also to look
over the Camfield irrigation project
Mr. Fuller is a close friend of DR..
Romero, having been associated with
him in Mexico for several years. He
is on his way from Mexico to his home
in New York and stopped over in
Las Vegas only for short time to
inspect the local irrigation project.
On account Of the absence Of En-
gineer George u. Morrison Mr.. Fuller
was unable to obtain any definite in
formation concerning the project but
upon his return from New York,
which will be within the next three
weeks, will stop over here and make
a thorough examination of the scheme
Accompanied by a member of the
grant board and. several other citizens
Mr.. Fuller today made a trip over
the ground at the dam site and this
afternoon expressed himself as pleas
ed with the proposition. Should the
Salt Lake people give it up Mr.. Ful-
Ter stated that on account of the un-
settled condition in Mexico that his
company, which is composed Of a num-
ber Of leading capitalists in New York,
might consider the completion of the
project as the work on the Mexico
dam will not be continued perhaps
for the next IL months.
Mr.. Fuller's idea of the local pro.
iect is favorable and although not as
large a transaction as the other he
stated that it is possible that his com
pany would consider seriously the I'M
dertaking of it as it has a great fu-
ture If completed Mr.. Fuller will stop
over in this city for several days upon
his return from New York and then
make a final statement If his com
pany can be Of any service here.
The serious condition of affairs in
Mexico caused the company Of which
Mr.. Fuller is the chief engineer, tc
close down all work there. This sud.
den stop may end the proposition as
the partly completed dam there is
liable to break at any time. Should
this happen destruction would follow
that might mean the loss of millions
of dollars worth Of property lying il
the vicinity of the project. Mr. Fuller
was forced to leave Mexico on &
threat from the two fighting factions
that he would be killed. He was alst
mulcted in the sum of $4,000 Two
weeks ago detachment Of troops
was ordered to La Boquilla, where
Mr.. RULER was located, with orders
to execute him. Mr.. Fuller. however
received word of the movement ant
fled to Ell Paso where he started foi
his home

pie in Mexico and Mr. Fuller wa'

Washington, Aug. 20 Still without
the complete test Of the Huerta gov
ernments note rejecting President
Wilson's suggestions for peaceful ad-
justment of the Mexican revolution,
administration officials today receiy-
ed further advices describing a COR
dial continuation of relations between
Huerta officials and John Lind, That
the United States viii not recede from
it's original proposal that it cannot
recognize any regime unless con
stitutionai election is held, was reiter-
ated by government officials who dis
cussed the situation with President
Wilson. A policy of non-interference
III Mexico by continuing to deny arms
to both sides and withdrawal Of
Americans from the troubled zone is
likely to be put into effect, though in
some administration quarters there
was noticeable talk of drastic meas
ures.
1t is the opinion of some officials that
the United States should prepare it
self for emergencies President Will
son has been opposed to any big troop
movement lest the intention Of the
United States be misinterpreted.
Other officials took the ctew tLar
precautionary measures are necessary.
Secretary Garrison is away on an
inspection trip, but Acting Secretary
Breckenridge is keeping President
Wilson informed of the strength Of
the army on the frontier and the gen
eral situation on the border
For the present, administration off
eials are waiting for the complete
note from Huerta. When that is re-
ceived it may be published with the
original communication from the Uni
ted States setting forth its views.
Senate Keeping Hands off
A disposition to refrain from any
discussion of Mexican affairs was evi-
dent in the senate again today and a
session Of the foreign relations com
mittee was devoted to other affaiS.
When resolutions, in troduced by
Senator Penrose, asking for informa-
tion about the Mexican situation came
up automatically for consideration,
the senate put them over indefinitely.
The Poindexter resolutions went the
same way. That action was in keep
ing with the understanding reached
yesterday by republicans not to press
a Mexican debate in the senate for
the present.
