City of Mexico, Oct. 4.--To those
having an inside knowledge OF public
affairs in Mexico it has become more
and more apparent during the past
few months that the burden of the
presidency is being gradually but I'M
mistakably shifted from the shoulders
of Porfirio D:az to those of Ramon
Corral, the titular vice president of
the republic. Diaz feels the weight
of his years and the duties of his high
Office have become burdensome to him.
Moreover he has been unable to find
any permanent relief from the physi-
cal ailments from which lie has suf-
fered for several years. An announce
ment of his resignation OF the presi-
dency at an early date would cause
no surprise to those fully acquainted
with tho facts.
The constitutional amendments
adopted several years ago provides
that in the event of the death. dis
ability or absence from the republic
OF the president. the vice president
shall Immediately assume the duties

plea was refused: Chief Hagen has

OCCUPANTS SHOCKED.

New York. Oct. 4.-Three young
artists models have SO upset Wash
ington Heights apartment house that
eight wives today marched eight hus-
bands into IL Harlem court to describe
the scandalous sights they saw. None
of the men wanted to be the one to
tell. Finally they offered up as sacri-
flee Israel H. Pinner, who, with his
wife, Ethel, lives on the second floor
of the apartment building. Pinner told
a story OF free living picture show
that caused Magistrate Walsh to ad-
iourn the case till Thursday.
The tenants said they had been
seeing all sorts of sights from their
back windows, which are directly op-
posite flat occupied by three young
women. Investigation proved them TO
be the Samson sisters-Caroline, %
years old; Rhea, is years old. and
Frances 16 years old.
Only Miss Caroline appeared in
court today with her attorney. She
denied the charge.
"Of course, in warm weather we
might have gone around in kimonos,"
she said. but as for that-mercy."

sity of taking new cath. This means
that Ramon Corral. who drafted the
law creating the vice presidency. will
be the next president Of Mexico. In
official circles Corral is already recog
nized as the real power and Dias the
shadow. 1t is now nkown that for
nearly six months past all the ~iin-
portant duties of the presidency nave
been under tho direct and personal
supervision of the vice president
Diaz and Corral have worked hand
in hand for years and it is believed
that the accession of the latter to the
presidency would mean Il continuation
of the enlightened and progressive
policy of his predecessor. Corral made
public announcement of this fact when
in accepting the vice presidency, he
said: II have to declare that ii the
popular vote shall favor me with cleo

that of seconding that of President

ROBBED JAP BANK
Two Men Stole $4,000 From
San Francisco Institution
In Sight of Clerks.

Associated Press to The evening Tlnles.
San Francisco, Oct. 4.-Armed with
revolvers and pieces OF gas pipe, two
robbers entered the Japanese bank,
Kimmon Ginko, also known as the
Golden Gate bank, at 1888 O'Farrill
street, yesterday afternoon and after
probably fatally beating two clerks.
escaped with $4,000 in gold. The rob-
bers chose time when there were but
few persons transacting business in
the bank and the sensational and bold
deed was so quickly effected that 1t
was all over before the crowd of pee
pie passing the doors of the institu-
tion were aware OF what had taken
place. While one of the holdup men
engaged the paying teller of the bank,
the other walked to the rear OF the
bank, and, going behind the counter.
picked up sack containing $4,000.
The action of the robber who went to
the rear of the bank was witnessed
by one of the clerks, who Immediately
raised cry of alarm. The cry had
scarcely left his lips before he was
struck down by the man who was car
rying out the gold.
The robber who had been talking
to the paying teller drew a piece OF
gas pine from his pocket and struck
him a blow that rendered him un-
conscious.
Both robbers stopped long enough
to beat their victims into unconscious
ness and then walked leisurely from
the bank and disappeared. The crime
was discovered moment or two later
when several customers entered the
bank to make deposits. They found
the Japanese lying prone on the floor
and Immediately gave the alarm.
The police arrived shortly afterwari
and the two men were taken to the
hospital. There it was said their
death probably was matter OF but
a short time. Both are believed to
have fractured skulls.
Despite the fact that the police in
every portion of the city are on the
lockout for the robbers, not the slight
est trace of them has been found

Cleveland. O.. Oct 4.-The Plain
dealer today prints an interview with
J. d. Rockefeller, in which the latter
comments on the demand for govern
ment regulation Of sc-called private
industries, and makes strong plea
for national development. Rockefeller
is quoted, in part. as follows: IF
we limit opportunity We will have to
put the brakes on our national de-
velcpment. Will the individual strive
for success If he knows the hard won
prize is to be snatched from his fingers
at last by his government. We are
still tco young nation to begin tear
ing down. We must build up. Build
up for years to come. The very chill
dren in the schools should be taught
the need of our development"

An Enormous Crowd.

Harrisburg. Oct. Ain the presence
OF the largest crowd that has ever
gathered in Harrisburg, the magnif-
cent new capital of Pennsylvania was
dedicated today, with brief ceremonies
in which President Roosevelt took an
active part.
The crowds began to gather about
the immense grand stand at the West
State Street entrance of the capitol
grounds, at day break and when the
exercises began, the place was one
mass of humanity. Before the exer-
cises were started, rain began falling
and continued throughout the cere-
monies. Thousands stood in drenct-
ing downpour, facing the presidents
stand, which was filled, notwithstand-
ing the rain. Most OF the ticket hold
ers were men, few women turning out
on account of the bad weather.
Roosevelt arrived at the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station at 11:O2 a. m.
and was met by the capitol dedication
committee, and was escorted to the
capitol by the governors troops.
The president was given an enthus-
iastic reception. He wore rain coat
and spoke bare-headed in the rain.
His address was as follows:
