officials. the superior board Of health.
Sir Weelman Pearson, contractor for
the canal; GOV. Nillada. Of the state Of
Mexico; bankers and journalists.
The party went early in the morning
to San LaZario. on the outskirts Of the
city. where the ceremony of opening
the gates Of the canal connecting with
the sewer system was performed by
President Diaz. The entire party was
then taken in a train to the terminus
Of the canal. 80 miles away, to the
mouth of the great tunnel connecting

Dirz on the successful carrying out Of
his idea. and also congratulating Sir
Weclman Pearson. the contractor
There was large display Of troops
and military bands played along thc
line taken by the presidential party.

years. during which time the govern
ment has given the project its con
slant and liberal aid. The work Of
draining the valley of Mexico is now
completed ana it remains merely to
construct the sewers Of the city.
There is much comment IN the order
of the archbishop of Mexico prohibiting
the action Of the Passion Play in Holy
week in the suburban towns. This
most ancient custom is held in high
esteem by the masses If the people
who resent the interference with thu
timc-honored practice. The archbishop
has been advised ID take this action on
account of the degeneration of the Pas
sion Play into -burlesque. ana as
giving occasion for rioting ANA drunk

the rlict is observed.

bond, was innocent of the crime
charged against him.
The girl sent word to the young m an
yesterday afternoon that he need have
no fear of going to the penitentiary as
she was about to tell the truth in re-
gard to the whole matter and last
evening, at her request the defend
ants attorney, Philo Hall, went to see
her. Mr.. Hall was accompanied by
A. G.. Young, #. j. Carlisle, Harvey
Stevens and T. Lewis. The girls
aunt and uncle were also present as
witnesses to her confession.
The REGISTER is told that without
any questioning on the part Of those
present the girl told straightforward
story which in substance implicated
third parties and that great pressure
had been brought to bear in order to
have her testimony convict the young
operator She said that she was in
charge of the ladies and practically
prisoner from Saturday to Monday,
after Daw was arrested, and thor
oughly coached as to the evidence
she was to give In against the young
man. She declared that the young
man had not had intercourse with her
and she told the ladies so but
they insisted be had and under the
threat of being sent to the reform
school had yielded to their wishes and
consented TO testify against the de-
fendant Daw.
The girl says she has felt miserable
ever since the trial and had not slept
nights since the boys Incarceration.
She wanted to relieve her conscience
by telling her story a second time
and by telling the truth.
She declared that her testimony on
the witness stand, against the young
man, was not true, that she was
frightened by the thoughts of having
to 60 to the reform school and in
timidated by the presence OF the
ladies in the court room who, the
girl says, we're there to see that she
gave In her testimony as instructed.
The end of this nasty business Is
not yet In sight and there are many
on the anxious seat.
