FIVE THOUSAND
At A DANCE
DR.. J. Nj. Diaz Tells of Splen-
dor at Mexico's Centennial
Celebration.
CHAUFFEURS CAUSE ACCIDENTS
He Saw a Mounted Policeman
Thrown From Horse and
Skull Fractured.

The splendor of the centennial
celebration in the capital of Old Mexi-
co has not been exaggerated in the
newspaper accounts published in this
country. It is spectacle worthy of
the land of treasure and one which
Is being witnessed by distinguished
citizens from all parts of the globe.
And the central figure of it all, Presi.
dent Diaz bears his four score years
as man of fifty or less. He is the
wonder of all who saw him.
So said Dr.. J. NJ Diaz today in dis
cussing his visit to the City of Mexi-
co. Dr. and Mrs. Diaz returned last
night and greatly enjoyed their trip
which lasted two weeks.
zone of the most magnificent spec
tacles was the dance given in the
City of Mexico to which 5000 invita-
tions were issued. This vast number
of men and women will have the
pleasure of dancing on a pavilion
erected in the immense placita of the
most beautiful palace in Mexico and
the improvised ball room will be
brilliantly illuminated by thousands
and thousands Of incandescent lights"
Great Thrones.
| DR.. Diaz says that the normal popu-
lation of the City of Mexico is $50, 900
people but that just now it seems to
! be double that Everywhere one
goes one sees a sea of faces and they
are Of people from all over the world.
We had the pleasure of meeting two
Santa Feans, Douglas Harroun, son
of DR.. Harroun of Santa Fe, and Mrs.
riage Miss Brehan and who attended
Loretto academy here"
Dr. Diaz said that number OF acct
dents have resulted from allowing
youths to run huge touring cars and
that while he was walking in one of
| the streets a young chauffeur ran
down mounted policeman, whose
skull was crushed. DR.. Diaz was the
| first to reach the mans side and
finding his injuries so serious, recon-
mended that he be rushed to the hos
pital where he died the next day.,
That it is expensive to live in the
capital of Old Mexico just now may be
seen from the statement of DIR.
Diaz that room in the hotel cost Sc
a day and meals were $1.50 each,
Mexican money.
Many people witnessed the great
pageant from hotel windows and DR..
Diaz said that in one procession 30,.
600 soldiers took part. Everything"
he said, "is being done on a lavish
scale and the city is magnificently
decorated, the floral arches, which are
renewed as they wither being ex-
ceedingly pleasing to the eye trained
to observe color"

OREGON HAS

Four Factions in the Field for
Nominations on Legislative
Ticket.

Portland, Oregon, Sept. 24.-Repub-
licans and Democrats of Oregon are
holding primaries today for the nom
ination of congressional, state and
county tickets. The Republicans
have complete tickets in the field, but
the Democrats offer candidates for
but few offices and only for govern,

The Republican contest is over the
so-called Assembly, the "anti-assem

The assembly" candidates are avow
ed enemies of the so-called "Oregon
system" of pledging legislative voters
to vote for the popular choice of U
S. Senator regardless of the candi

over the legislative candidates will
| be very brisk.

BANKER WALSH FILED.
| Thousands of Letters Askino Presi-
dent Taft for Release of Aged
Financier.

Washington, Sept. PA petition
to President Taft for the pardon of
John R. Walsh, former president of
the Chicago National bank, from the
federal prison at Fort Leavenworth,
was filed with the department of JUS
tice today. Accompanying the appli-
cation were thousands of letters from
persons in Chicago and the middle
west, including bank stockholders, de-
positors and the jurors who found
Walsh guilty. Walsh is 73 years old
and the main motive of the appeal is
based on his failing health. He is re-

"The shadows murmur when the
deeps are dumb" said Democratic
daily paper at Albuquerque this week,
in speaking of Hon. Solomon Luna,
Republican national committeeman
and member of the constitutional con-
vention from Valencia county, refer
ring to his taciturnity. 1t added:
THE Gentleman from Valencia will
probably have more to do with shap-
ing things in the convention than any
other one individual"
In this instance, the political oppo-
sition, has taken the true measure of
the man. Hon. Solomon Luna is not
boss, he is leader. He is unassum-
ing, he is not self-seeking, he is gen.
erous of heart and tolerant of opposi-
ton. Again and again he has refus-
ed to accept political and other hon
ors and again and again he has been
to the fore substantially in every
way to help Republican party princi.
| pies to triumph. He is not garrulous,
but his word is as good as any bond
He is not speculator, but he has
| been eminently successful in business
life. No wonder, that his advice is
sought and needed, and that he is
| leader not because he wants to be or
cares to be in the lime light, but be-
cause the people and the party trust
| in him.
Mr.. Luna comes from an old and
| distinguished family. His forebears
have been leaders too, in business and
in politics. His eat-great-grandfath
er, Domingo Luna, received what is
known as the San Clemente or Luna
grant from Spain in 1716, for eminent
services to the crown. The town OF
Los Lunas, named in honor of the
family, was established on the grant
and is the county seat of Valencia
county today.
The subject of this sketch was the
third son of Hon. Antonio Jose Luna
and Isabella (Baca) Luna, and was
born at Los Lunas, which is still his
residence, on October Is, 1858. He
completed his education at the Uni
versity of st. Louis. He is one of the
most successful stockraisers in New
Mexico and his f1ocks of sheep liter
ally cover thousand hills ranging
over an extensive country in western
New Mexico. But not only in stock
raising but in various business ven
lures he has been remarkably success
! full and he has contributed much
| toward making Albuquerque the
metropolis of the new state There he
has extensive real estate holdings

/ In politics, Mr.. Luna has sought no

Mr.. and Mrs. Luna are always wei

frequently visit. In fact, the capital
would like nothing better than to have
them take up their permanent resi-
dence here. In Santa Fe, lives Mr.
Luna's only sister, Mrs. A. M. Bergere
and here he is valued at his worth IN
politics and in business. 1t is certain
that though big men compose the con
stitutional convention, Mr.. Luna, az
the Democratic paper that is opposed
to him has said, will not be the leas'
among them.
