DENIES MEXICO
IN ALIGNMENT
WITH RADICALS
De Negri Says Improper Inter-
probation Put On Letter Re
Gently Made Public by u. S.

New York, Nov, 16.-Denial that
Mexico is connected in any way
with radical groups in this country,
was made in statement issued by
Ramon P. De Negri, consul general
of Mexico here. Attention of the
state department recently was called
to letter from Consul De Negri TO
Flavia Borquez, a Mexican senator,
endorsing the principle OF national
ization."
Il am surprised" the statement
said, in part, that my letter has
been abused, tending to present me
and the authorities of the repub-
lie of Mexico in a false light, and
which may be availed Of by the enc

show us in league or collision with
the radical movement hostile to the
constituted political structure of this
country are founded. Nothing can be
further from the truth and our aims.
No Underground Work"
so far as my correspondence is
concerned. the federal agents did
not reveal an underground work. as
the letter referred to was read in a
public session of the Mexican senate
and was published in all Mexico City
newspapers on November E.
Anybody who peruses my letter,
bona fde and honestly interprets it.

Towle Admits Money Given
to Mother of Harold Thorp

will state that this was without
doubt the most unjustihed and un-
truthful effort ever made by news
paper. Captain Haze has been so
conscientious and sincere about his
work on these riot cases that if he
has erred at all he has done so in
favor of the defendants in every
case. There is no doubt but that he
cautioned these boys to be careful,
instead of asking them to perjure
themselves, as he has been charged.
Mrs. Towle does considerable
charity throughout the year and this
is only one of the many cases that
has been called to her attention,
where she could be of some assist
ance to the unfortunate"
Judge Redick's View.
w. A. Redick, presiding judge of
the district court, declined to COM
ment on the visit of John w. Towle,
foreman of the grand jury, and Mrs.
Towle to the home of Harold Thorp.
Il know Mr.. Towle is an honor
able man and of charitable DISPOSE
zion and Mrs. Towle also is chari-
tably inclined. If Mr.. Towle helped
these people, it was because he be-
lieved they needed help. That is all
will say about this matter"
The trial of the Bee Publishing
company, Victor Rosewater and ].
Harry Moore, cited for contempt of
court by District Judge Redick, will
be heard today. Contempt was
charged by the publication in The
Bee of the alleged "frameup" on
Moore by Police Captain Haze.

Fearing mob violence, Sheriff
Owens last night spirited the

farmers motored there and demand

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

THE Poor AND POOR FUND-The
Tribune, paper With a name, but
without reputation, has for several
weeks, beer throwing smut out Of its
machine at the last Board of Poor
Commissioners, and particularly at Mr..
Micheal Mahoney, one Of the member S
of that Board. Considering the whole
matter contained in the Tribune as
slander and vituperation emanating
from the idiotic pens 10 the hands OF O.
B. Smith, its editor and one or two
other disordered brains, we have re.
Trained from paving any notice to their
veno nous attacks upon Mr.. NJ, or the
Board. Last week, however, the Tri.
bune accuses us of being silent on the
subject, for the reason that we might
be in collusion with the Board, and
therefore had no defense for its mem.
bers. We will answer this charge by
saying that the cause OF the venom dis.
played so often and so malign4ntly by
the Tribune and its cohorts against the
Poor Commissioner must be from the
fact that the poor devils of that con-
cern applied for some of the county
pap, and were promptly, and very pro-
perly, refused suck at the teat by Mr..
Mahoney and his colleagues. For this
refusal the Poor Commissioners are en-.
titled to the thanks OF the people of the
county, for if these blood suckers of the
Tribune had once got hold of the pro
perty belonging to the honest, poor
and deserving people, they would never
let go their hold, and the widow and
the orphan, the lame and the halt
those whom the Almighty has seen fit
to afllict in this world to be rewarded
in the next-would be without friends
indeed
In alother column will be found a
communication in relation TO this mat
ter. it is from the pen of q gentleman
who is large property holder in the
county, who is perfectly responsible
for what he says, and his words are en-
Titled 70 more credit than one hundred
such li0elious concerns as the Tribune.
