SAYS DIAZ CAN REMAIN
PRESIDENT UNTIL DEATH

CHICAGO, Nov. 1o.-Frederick Up
ham Adams, novelist and magazine
writer, Is in the city after four months
passed In a study of Mexico. He is of
the opinion that Diaz will remain pres
ident of Mexico "as long as he chooses. "
1.-THE fact that Diaz is so years old
counts for little" said Mr.. Adams yes
terday. HE is as sturdy and healthy
as a well preserved man of so years,
and there is no reason why he should
not pass the century mark. I was un-
able to find any marked sentiment
against him in any quarter The mid
die and lower classes almost worship
him, and the men of affairs, native and
foreign, would not listen to any sug-
gestion that he retire from power"
Mr.. Adams asserts that the expert
ment of the national ownership and
operation of railroads in Mexico has
proven great success.
The government properties are in ex-
cellent physical condition, fast sched-
ules are maintained, accidents are al
most unknown, and most significant of
all, the profits of the last year show a
remarkable increase over an equal pc
riod of private ownership.
