RUN is ON THE RUN IN
MEXICO, SAY VISITORS

Los Angeles, Dec 29.-That the
long promised reconstruction of Mex
leo is under way and that a country
wide prohibition movement is devel-
oping there, is the news brought to
Los Angeles yesterday by Patrick
O'Brien and c. c. Runner, American
prospectors just returned from the
mining districts of Sonora and Lower
California. Adhering to the political
reforms promised Immediately fol
lowing his recognition by the United
States, it would appear that General
Carranza is purging Mexico of the
worst of her popular abuses.
Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.. Runner are
both familiar with Mexico and its peo-
pie through long experience there.
Until month ago, however, they had
been residing in Los Angeles, await
ing the pacification of Mexico Be
cause they remembered the Mexico of
the cid days their recent trip south
was all the more surprising.
1T is Just like 4 new country Mr..
O'Brien said yesterday. Mr. Runner
and | went all through Sonora and
Lower California, and everywhere we
met with kindness. General Carr2n-
I'd has issued an edict threatening I'M
prisonment to any citizen who does
not aid foreigners, especially Amer-
cans.
IN addition, he has succeeded in
creating the strictest prohibition in
Is Of the u states and, as he acquires
CONTROL another state goes under the
ban. Sonora is dryer than Arizona,
and throughout our trip in that state
We did not see a drunken Mexican.
1t is almost a miracle.
when the prohibition edict first
became a law, the Mexicans having
liquor in their possession were the
only ones to suffer. Their stock was
eonfiscated and poured into the
streets. All foreign saloon keepers
were given - days in which to dis
pose of their liquor, The breweries
were allowed much longer time. In
fact, the government aided them in
disposing of their stock to places
where the prohibition law has not vet
touched.
I'm Lower California, the lid is still
off. But understand that after the
llrst of the year liquor will also be
tabo there. The fine for even taking
drink of liquor in Mexico is now 300
pesos. And the man selling the liquor
Is fined 500 pesos. Money exchange
throughout Sonora is now at a ratio
Of 20 to l, and rapidly going up. Sill
yer is of course higher. But the mon
ey generally used is Carranza curren-
cy. There are very few bank notes
out.
General Carranza has initiated
itusSla, and Is endeavoring to make
his ukase general. Pulque, the Mex
lean national drink, is prohibited in
all parts Of the country where the
sarranza administration is supreme.
And there are only few section still
remaining outside of this administra-
ton. do not believe Villa has more
than 400 soldiers left to him. He is
still carrying on bandit warfare, but
his bands are scattered Zapata yet
controls a small part of the State Of
Mexico and other portions. But his
power is infinitesimal.
Il suppose the reason for the gen
eral prohibition movement is to stop
/ the age-long drunkenness of the Mex
ean Indians and peons. It is much
easier for the authogilies 10 maintain

WAUKESHA FREE FROM VICE

WAUKESHA, WIS. - Mayor A.
J. Dopp and other city officials ex-
pressed qualification over the elimina-
ton of Waukesha from the reports
sent out by the state vice commission
a. Madison several weeks ago. Almost
every city of any size and many of
them smaller than Waukesha were
given volumes of notoriety because of
prevalence of vice, poorly regulated
hotels and saloons. The commission
had a number of operators here last
summer and Senator Teasdale, chair
mar of the committee, said Waukesha
was one of the cleanest, if not the
cleanest, and best regulated city in
Wisconsin.
The only suggestion offered was that
screens be removed from saloon win
dows. The suggestion that street signs
be placed at intersections and es-
pecially at the five points has already
beer complied with.

the presentation of evidence to the
contrary the board failed to make a
correction. The company took the
matter to court upon a writ of certior-

which will be the basis for tax collec-
