seem to be incapable of understanding
the destination that exists between one
locality and another. They get morality

NEW PORTRAIT OF DlAZ
Mexican Herald Comments on the
Painting of President by
Salt Lake Artist.
CAIexican Herald. city Of Mexico.)

CAIexican Herald. City of Mexico.)
For some time past President Diaz
has been giving sittings at the national
palace to a distinguished American
portrait painter, George Henry Tag
CART who recently painted a picture
OF Governor Landa EscandOn q
genuine work Of art that has already
been noticed in these columns.
The new portrait of the president Of
the republic is a highly successful at
tempt to paint, not the general or the
president, but the man. and the re-
suit is a picture that, a first glance,
arrests the attention and wins apprO-
val. 1t is the man himself. the man
who stands forth as MeXico's cOntribu-
ton to the limited number Of great
contemporary rulers and statesmen.
Mr.. Taggart has represented his dis
unguished subject as unconscious of
self, or of the presence Of others, thus
enabling the behOlder to contemplate
the inward character as it appears IN
the outward form of face and figure
The president is represented seated
III the executive chair, dressed in a
morning suit, and holding a cane, quite
as If ready 10 rise and walk away,
when summoned. The dignity and re-
pose of the subject, so eminently
characteristic Of General DiaZ, are
seen in the pOiSe Of head and figure,
and shown by the harmony of color,
light and dark. It evidently has been
the endeavOr of the painter to present
no moment Of extreme mental or spir-
itUal activity, but a high average.
The very center of all interest in this
remarka bic portrait is the eyes; the
president appears to be looking at the
observer: the expression is life-Eke,
startlingly so, and, attentively re-
garded, one notes in the eyes the same
commanding, searching. sOldierlike
gaze as in the best portraits of Wash
ingtOn- The eyes of POrfiriO Diaz are
those of the soldier. the ruler. the man
Eabituated to command, while always
acting after due reflection and never
on impulse
The color arrangement is especially
pleasing; it is in entire harmony with
the nature of the subject, and no ac-
cessOTies have been employed which
could possibly be dispensed with The
position is wholly natural and the eX-
preston characteristic. It is a great
picture, a portrait that one instantly
feels Will remain a cherished mementC.
in future years, of the great personal
ity now dominant in Mexican affairs.
Il is a matter Of cOngratulatiOn that
in this portrait the president is not
in uniform The beholder sees that
the subject in no wise needs any gilt
tering or snowy accessories 10 enhance
the native dignity, the air of sOver-
eighty, characteristic of the man. tt
is to be hoped that the new portrait
will be placed somewhere on public
exhibition Mr.. Taggart is deserving
of high praise for his mastery delin-
cation of the chief magistrate of the
republic It is a work that viii endure,
and gain fame with the passage Of
time

According to the assertions of one
insurance man who is familiar with
the operations Of legislation affecting
his interests. the various insurance
companies have spent $780, 0O0 during
the past twenty years to defeat and
pass legislation in Jefferson City The
biennial assessments became such a
drain on the companies that four years
ago they rebelled when a demand for
$4,000 was made to defeat the valued
policy laws, and no money was paid.
Since then no money has been paid by
the insurance companies.

LElLICH'S FRIEND
GETS Passionate
Rev. D. N. HeImick Goes to lift
Church.
TAKES K0EPSELS PLACE
DESIGNATIONS OF OTHER MIN
ISTERS ARE PREDICTED.
TAKES KoEPSErS PLACE

Rev. D. NJ. Helmick. pastor Of the
Methodist church at Eureka. has been
appointed pastor OF the Ilin Methodist
church in this city to succeed Rev.
L. II. KoepseI, who recently resigned
his charge here. The appointment was
made upon the recommendation of Dr..
j. J.. Leilich. superintendent Of the
Methodist missions in Utah. Mr..
Helmick viii take charge of his new
pastOrate next Sunday.
The announcement that Mr.. Helmick
has been awarded this place is no sur
prise to the Methodist ministers Of the
city. Since the fight began between DR..
Leilich and Mr.. KOepsel il has been
known, according 10 the statement of
one of the ministers, that Mr.. Helmick
has been making an effort to secure the
Iin church Mr. Helmick has been
a stanch supporter Of DR.. Leilich
throughout the trouble. During the re-
cent conference, when DR.. Leilich was
not permitted to preside over the ses-
siOns. Mr.. Helmick made open talks in
favor of the superintendent and openly
avowed himself as opposed to the ac-
ton Of those who were fighting DR..
Leilich.
The appointment Of Mr.. HeImick was
made by Bishop Earl Cranston, who
was recently assigned to preside over
the district of Utah. The successor
to Mr. KOepsel has been pastor OF the
Eureka church for some time, and is
said TO have made a favorable impress
sion upon the members Of his congre-
cation
Score One For LeiIich.
The ministers here who have been
active in the effort to have DR.. Leilich
removed from the Utah missions look
upon the action of bishop Cranston in
appointing Mr.. Helmick, who is well
known to be supporter Of DR. Leilich,
as an indication that their petition for
the removal of DR.. Leilich will not be
granted. This matter was turned over
TO Bishop CranstOn when he was ap-
pointed, and it was LETT to him to de-
eide what should be done. When the
bishop was in Salt Lake he refused 70
make any statement about what he
proposed to do but the conversation
Of members Of the opposition party in
dicated that they had received little
Encouragement in their interview with
the new bishop. His late action. il is
said. is taken as a confirmation Of their
opinion that the bishop is in sympathy
with DR.. Leilich-
Mere Regignations Likely.
A refusal to remove DR.. Leilich, it is
said, viii probably. if not surely, result
in the removal or resignation of several
ministers Of this city and elsewhere,
VINO nave DGen atLlNe III the AASAl
against DR. Leilich A person who
knows the situation stated that if those
who opposed Dr.. Leilich attempted to
remain as pastors of their various
churches matters would in all likeli-
hood be made so unpleasant for them
that they would be forced to resign
or get out in some way. One of the
ministers who was most active in the
anti-LefliCh fight declared that he pro
posed TO remain with his church until
he was forced TO leave, no matter what
the result might be.

Hamilton, O.. June 23-The trial of
Alfred Knapp for the murder of his
wife began here today. Knapp was
dressed in black and wore crepe. Law
yers Thomas Darby and John Thomas
Of Cincinnati represented Knapp who
seemed interested. but not alarmed.
Mr. Darby said that no objection would
be made to trying the case here, but
he declined to outline his defense. The
first venire of thirty-seven jurors were
called. The preliminary questioning
of jurors continued throughout the
day.
Al $3.50 o'clock this afternoon the spe-
cial Venire was exhausted and a special
venire of sixty more names was Or
dered.
At the request of Attorney Darby for
the defense court adjourned until Thurs
day morning and Knapp was returned to
Jail So little success was encountered
today in securing jurors that il is feared
that a week or more viii be consumed
in this task

ON STRIKE FOR INCREASED WAGES

and the extremely hazardous occupation.
The western conference Of the Interna-
uOnal Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
which is composed of all the linen. 5
unions on the Pacific coast. this morning
issued a statement regarding the action
that had been taken.
It is asserted that although the com
pany promised to eQualiZe conditions in
the matter of wages throughout the coast,
President Sabin of the company refused
to arbitrate and would not offer any
proposition looking to a settlement The
wage scale offered by the conference was
to go into effect today The statement
concludes by asking all electrical work
ers to stand firm and show the respective
companies that they must arbitrate \ At
tiers that come up for settlement, and not
for the men to go out on strike.
