TORRENCE LAUDS MEXICAN POLICY
 OF DEMOCRATS
Heavy Investor in Latin Re public Approves of Stand
 By Wilson.

Los Angeles, Oct. 1S-J. $. Tor renee, Los Angeles, capitalist, heavy investor in Mexico, founder and own CT of the city of Terrence, California, | in a statement approving President Wilson's Mexican policy, says: President Wilson's Mexican policy is absolutely the right one. I am fn- timately familiar with the Mexican question, and can speak with per sonal knowledge of the situation. The company in which I am interested owns the Palomas Ranch in the State of Chihuahua, Mxico. w purchased the land at 40 cents an acre, when lands of the same character on the American side of the border were an acre.
 ''The members of our company fully realized at the time of the pur- chase of these lands that the only reason we were able to buy these lands at those low prices was the un- settled political conditions in the Re public of Mexico. We knew that it was a good deal of a gamble. We knew all the uncertainties that exist ed, and took our chances. l want to say to you that 95 per cent. of the investments of foreign capital in Mex leo are made oh this identical basis. Investors are able to buy at very low pGices because of the hazardous conditions existing there.
 'To my mind, it is an identical case with the man Ioaning his money at 15 and 20 per cent interest. When he gets that kind of interest, the loan is undoubtedly risky, and he is taking great chance.
 "Our ranch in Mexico has been raided by Mexican bandits number of times. The losses we have suf- fered from these raids have been between a hundred and fifty and two hundred thousand dollars in toto. But, fhasmuch as the price of beef cattle has advanced from $27 a head to $55 a head, we have made several times as much money as we have lost through these depredatfons.
 "The PaIomas Ranch has more than paid for itself, even under these cir cumstances, during the last three to five years.
 "I can see no reason or excuse for American investors, after they have gone into Mexico and made invest ments, with the full knowledge of the unsettled political conditions in that country, to ask, or to expect, the United States to spend several mil lions of dollars, and sacrifice a great many American lives, to protect their investments. They knew the condi- tions when they went into Mexico, and took their chances. They should abide by the result without asking American citizensSto sacrifce/ their lives and property to help them realize on their investments.
 "I am strongly in favor of the re- election of resident Wilson, and am confident that the people will not be misled by false statements on the Mexican situation"

immigration

10 do away with the ignorance of the
foreigners we have all kinds of societies for
uplifting aliens. The Immigrant Publica-
ton Society has literature especially suited
tor use among newcomers. But all that is
not sufficient for the great number of i'm
migrants. Generally in the fall when the
few night schools for immigrants open,
many shops employing thousands of aliens
close. Many who are working receive so
small wages, that they are obliged to walk
to and from work. How then could they
spare dime to attend the night school?
Long working hours and small wages
with bad surroundings in the cities, the situ-
alton in railroad and lumber camps as we'll
as other places where immigrants are en-
ployed are the reason why so few learn the
English language. Measures taken up for
the improvement of the foreigners Citizen
ship are inadequate in comparison to the
vast number of aliens. On the other hand
it is hard to improve it by laws or to find
suitable plan for this purpose.
In my opinion the man of alien birth
will become loyal citizen only by the in
huence of the whole people or public in
general. When the public will recognize
MS right to work, and save his money and
will protect him against unscrupulous indi-
viduals, then he will feel and realize that he
is In the Land of Justice, Freedom, and
Liberty. Then he will gladly become a
loyal citizen of the country, grasp her flag,
and to close with the words of our Presi-
dent, hold her-First. Last and Forever.

Another matter of vital importance in

being taken to protect the forests of these

which they have been subjected in the past.

to many interesting economic and social

PRISON REFORM MUST
COME OUT OF THE PRISON
Former Warden Osborne of Sing Sing
Tells Mutual Welfare LEAGUE.

New York, Feb. 15-Thomas Mott
Osborne, former warden of Sing Sing
prison, addressing the first mass
meeting of the Mutual Welfare
leagues outside branch held here last
night, declared that the average con-
Wet regards those on the outside as
"a bunch of successful grafters who
somehow manage to keep out of
prison."
SiXty-one former inmates of Sing
Sing and Auburn prisons attended the
meeting. Theodore Richards, the
chairman, announced he had spent 27
years of his life in Jail Former con-
Vlcts also acted as uShers. Many men
and women of prominence were in the
audience.
Prison reform must come out of the
prison. said Mr.. Osborne. I'VE can't
reform the men in the prison. The
men must do that themselves, but the
aolishment of proper conditions will
AID and reform will be just as inevi-
table as daylight following night.
speaking for those who have been
in prison, they don't want charity:
they don't want condescension: they
don't want patronizing reformers.
They do want you to give them a
square deal, so they can do the re-
forming themselves"
Several of the former convicts adj
dressed the meeting. One of them said
he felt timid, as the only other speech
he mad ever made was before a Judge.

CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITIES
IN LATIN-AMERICA.
Establishment of Three Advocated by
President of OberIin CoIIeqe.

Panama, Feb. 1.-THE establishment
Of three great Christian universities in
Latin-America was advocated by the
Rev. DR.. Henry c. King, president of
Oberlin college. in presenting the re-
port of the commission on education
to the congress on religious work in
Latin-America. DIR. King said these
institutions should work beside the
great national institutions already ex-
listing and that they would fill a great
need. He said there was from 40 to
so per cent. of illiteracy in all the
American-Latin countries in spite of
the existence of many good UNIVERSE
ties and colleges in certain localities
DR.. King pointed out that there was
a distinct leadership on the part of
highly educated men which was entire
ly out of proportion to the number of
them who regarded religion as out of
date and that these men must be
reached through a more modern pres
entation of religious teaching. He de-
clared that an adequate educational
system must be evolved as the present
system was utterly inadequate.

NO ABATEMENT IN SEARCH
FOR CHICAGO POISON SUSPECTS
Jean Crones is Being Sought for in a
Score of Cities.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-There was no
abatement today in the police search
for persons who were suspected of
having share in what was termed a
nationwide anarchistic conspiracy
against established society, which
came to light with the discovery that
guests at the banquet here last week
in honor of Archbishop Mundelein
were the victims of q plot to poison
them.
Jean Crones, the much sought as
sistant chef, who is accused of pun-
ting the poison in the banquet soup,
was searched for in more than a score
of cities.
John Allegrini, his friend, was for
mally charged with conspiracy to MUIR
der and attempted murder. The police
announced that they had proof that
Crones and AIlegrini were close
friends and that they had many Sc
cret meetings before the poison ban
quet.
Many fantastic reports were brought
to the police. among them being a
theory that Crones, having failed to
cause the death of the dinner guests
as he had planned, had killed himself
or should be executed at the com
mand ofY powerful agents who had
intrusted to him the execution of their
designs.

TO MAKE INQUIRIES OF
GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
As to How They Are to Determine
Whether Merchantmen Are Armed.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The United
States in the near future may make
some inquiries of Germany and Aus
tria as to how they intend to determine
whether merchantmen are armed be-
fore sinking them without warning in
accordance with new orders going to
their submarine commanders on Feb.
90
1t was made plain today that the
United States in its memorandum to
the belligerents suggesting the dis
armament of merchant ships had no
intention of proposing to arbitrarily
change the law of nations on the seas
and it was suggested that the practice
of arming ships might be revised to
permit them to carry guns of a suffi-
GENTLY small calibre to be useful for
defense purposes and yet be ineffective
against submarines at a distance from
which the submersibles could give
warning.
The object of the American govern
ment's memorandum, it was stated,
was not to change established prac-
tees under Internal ional law, but was
wholly in the interest of humanity and
the saving of lives.
