men thought they recognized Dias
and shouted his name. But luckily a
woman who was a friend OF the gen
erals saw the situation and, selling
a sheet from the stateroom, rushed
down the gangway and threw the
sheet over his head, so that he passed
through the crowd and so reached his
staterOom.
Capture seemed almost certain. The
soldiers who had seen Diaz come
aboard had reported to the colonel,
who prompted looked into the matter
and found that the supposed Dfaz had
come aboard as Or de la Boza." He
at once went to the captain and de
manded the surrender of Diaz. The
colonel could not speak English. and
the captain could not speak Spanish.
so Mr.. Couey, the purser. was sent
for.
Now, Mr. Coney, who, for the i'm
portant part he played in this exciting
episode was afterward rewarded by
the grateful Diaz with the post OF CON
sui general Of Mexico at San Fran
cisco, had seen Diaz in the stateroom,
and, in response to Masonic signal
of distress which Diaz made, had de-
cided to aid the fugitive to his utmost
--Coney himself being Mason.
Therefore. when, having translated
the colonel's demand to the captain,
the latter said he could not deliver
up the supposed Diaz, but II the
colonel liked he could place sentries
at the door SO that Diaz could not es-
cape
Then as the sentry went reeling to
leeward. Coney suddenly opened the
door of the stateroom, and Diaz
walked swiftly forward and safely
reached Conveys storeroom. Here he
was at once put in a clothes press.
Each night COney took Diaz out Of
his wardrobe In order that he might
exercise his cramped limbs, putting
him in his own bed and locking him
up In the wardrobe again early in the
morning. Thus did Diaz elude the
suspicious colonel and he was still in
the clothes press when the vessel
reached Vera Cruz Here Coney com.
municated with General Enriquez, and
Diaz, with his face besmeared with
coal dust and disguised as laborer,
was smuggled ashore.
Diaz was obliged to skulk through
the forests from Vera Cruz until he
had rallied his forces, which he did
with such success that the next bat.
tie placed him in the Mexican white
house"

PAROLES TO BE CONSIDERED
Of $50 Paroles Granted Since Law
Was Passed Few Have Been
Violated

Madison.-The state board of con-
troll will meet at the state prison in
Waupun on July 10, to hear forty
nine applications for parole.
The board will not make public
the names of the applicants because
1t believes that general publicity does
not promote the purposes of the pa
role law 1t is known, however, that
several prisoners of wide notoriety
have asked to be paroled.
Since the parole law was passed
three and half years ago the board
has released over $50 prisoners from
Waupun and only six of them violated
the conditions of their parole.
The board has established a bus
service between the railroad station
and state insane asylum in Mendoza
a distance of three-quarters of a
mile, the fee for the ride being 10
cents each way. 1t is expected that
the service will be self-maintaining
as the average number of asylum Wis
itors daily is about fifty.

FALTER TO HEAD VETERANS
GAINESVILLE Making Plans to Entertain
Spanish War Survivors at Their
1911 Convention.

Janesville.-Not only has James
vile been honored by the election
of the state commander of the Span
lsh War Veterans, in the person of
Edward S. Falter, but this city has
also been selected as the meeting
place for 1911.
This means one of the biggest
Fourth of July celebrations that
GAINESVILLE has ever seen for next
year. 1t will include a parade. a
snam battle and thousands of visitors.
This year the convention was held at
Sheboygan and last year at Fond du
Lac, and the previous year at Racine.
IL was not thought possible to Sc
cure the convention for GAINESVILLE
FOR next year and no active steps
were taken to instruct the delegates
10 try to secure it. However. the
convention was offered to GAINESVILLE
and the offer accepted, so that this
city is promised big time in 1911
when the veterans of the Ninety
eight Unpleasantness With Spain"
meet in this city.
The election of Edward S. Falter
as state commander is not a surprise
to his friends here, as it was known
for some time past that he was the
choice of the majority of the dele
gates at the big state gathering. Mr..
Falter had second place on the state
eommandery last year and ran a
very close second for the highest

ROOSEVELT HUGHES
PLANS FIGHT BY WHICH THEY
HOPE TO ADOPT DIRECT
NOMINATION PLANK.
SEES ASSEMBLY SPEAKER
Much HeraIded Conference on New
York State Politics Lasts Until
Far Into Night Chairman Wood
ruff to See EXPIRE sident.

Oyster Bay.-Theodore Roosevelt
and Charles Hughes spent the even
ing at Sycamore Hill in their long
expected and much heralded confer
ence on New York state politics.
No word of the result was allowed
to become known beyond the fact that
the entire political situation in this
state was taken up. Col. Roose-
Welt said on previous occasions that
the defeat of the direct nominations
bill by the republican state organiza-
ton would be one of the main topics
of discussion.
Whether the proposition of re-
publican candidate for governor came
up is not known.
Col. Roosevelt will have more poll
ucians at Sycamore Hill on Wednes-
day, perhaps the most conspicuous of
whom will be Timothy l.. Woodruff,
chairman Of the republican state COM
mittee.
Gov. Hughes reached Sycamore
Hill from New York, accompanied by
William r. Wilcox chairman of the
public service committee of the First
district Mr. Wilcox departed almost
Immediately for Glen Cove. Col.
Roosevelt and the governor withdrew
to the colonels library, where they
talked far into the night.
Col. Roosevelt had made clear that
he will fight for the direct nomina-
lions bill, and James Wadsworth,
speaker of the state assembly, when
he called on Col. Roosevelt in New
York on Tuesday, said that the bill
was the one thing which doomed up
as a rock In the smooth seas ahead. I"
The speakers chat with the colonel
was brief, but. to judge from appear
ances, to the point. The speaker said
afterward that his position was un-
changed, and that so far as he was
concerned, there would be no sac
rifice of principle
When Col Roosevelt came out of
his Office a little later he said:
Il talked politics with the speaker.
We discussed direct nominations.
That is all / can say"
1t is supposed, therefore, that the
governor and the former president
went over the situation with the
speaker in detail and mapped out ten
tatively the program announced in
advance of taking steps to force into
the platform, when the republican
state convention is held, plank de-
claring without equivocation for di-
rect nominations.
It is regarded as unlikely, however,
that full account of the conference
will be obtainable, even after Gov.
Hughes has departed.
Mr.. Woodruff's visit on Wednesday
is awaited with interest, for he is one
OF the men with whom the colonel
must reckon If he is to carry to a
successful end his fight for direct
nomination bill.
Representative Charles n. Fowler
Of New Jersey who is an ardent in
surgent, will be at Sycamore Hill on
Wednesday. Mr.. Fowler's conference
with the former president is regarded
as of interest because of the fact that
he is one of Speaker Cannons bitter
est opponents.

ond Reading by Vote of 2ee to 100

London.-Th house of commons.

passed the second reading of the
women's suffrage bill, which provides
for the granting of the parliamentary
franchise II women who are possessed
OF the property qualification and who
already exercise the franchise in mu-
nicipal actions
The Unexpectedly large majority Of
1O9 gives an important impetus to
Women's suffrage, but many obstacles
must yet be overcome before the prin-
ciple is legalized by the necessary
majority of las. The house referred
the bill to committee of the whole.
which means that the bill will be
shelVed until next year.
Many leading men, including Win
ston Spencer Churchill secretary for
home affairs, and A. j. Balfour,
leader Of the opposition in the house
OF commons, who favored the prlnci~
pie OF women's suffrage, objected to
the present bill and contended that
the whole country must pronounce
unreservedly in favor Of women vot-
ing before parliament sanctioned such
change in the constitution.
