JEAN BOUlN GREATEST
OF FRENCH RUNNERS.
Has Hung Up New String of CONT
mental Records.

For the first time In the history of
athletics. France has producad a dis
lance runner who figures as a worlds
record holder and who is without
doubt the best amateur alive today
at distances from two miles to ten.
The name OF the Gallo wonder Is Jean
Bouin, and as he is che man Ameri-
cans and others will have to meet at
Stockholm next year his feats Of speed
and stamina are interesting Just now.
Last October Bouin received special
permission to race Bouchard, the pro-
fessional record holder, and long be-
fore the end Boutn had run the 'spro"
off bis Legs and fnc1deutnf1y he estab-
Eshed q string Of continental records.
Good as was the display given by
Routn then. there were those who did
not accept him an q great rsznnsr and
they said 1T was only Z fash In the
pan which he would 1ndl to duplicate
The criticism nettiod Bouin and he
tried Tecsntly what he could do for q
run of half an hour. Since May IL,
1853, there has been q professional
record OF ak miles and 50 yards for
the 80 rnfnutss on tho lists and was to
the credit of Jack White, who made II
on the old grounds at Hackney Wfck,
Tngland- The Frenchmau beat tho old
mark by the narrow margin of nine
yards. SO that tho new mark on the

GIBBONS ALL THERE.
Abe AtteII Halls the Milwaukee Man as
Wonder.

Mike Gibbons. the Milwaukee boxer,
who has taken New York by storm,
has impressed Champion Abe Attell as
made of the real stuff
Commenting on Gibbons work In
this bout, Attell said:
Gibbons has a head. He is one Of
the foxiest men I've ever seen. One
OF the secrets of his success is the way
he makes the other fellow miss. He
doesn't jump away so far that his OPP
pcnent misses him by a yard for that
would be discouraging. He avoids
blows by so small a margin that his
antagonist constantly believes he can
land If he keeps on trying. In that
way Gibbons makes his man fight just
the way he wants him to, which is
something few boxers can do HIS
fighting is a treat, his footworlk is
marvellous and when he starts punch
he doesn't miss. He has a wonderful
pair of eyes and is quick thinker.
He likes to box, but IL smuggling is
necessary he's there with an awful
kick Just say for me that Gibbons is
a wonder"
Gibbons is not a knockout boxer,
most of his decisions being won on
points. He does not carry any mules
kicks around, although he can hit with
terrific force at times. He is a hard
punfsher, his biggest assets in tho hit
ting line being a straight left jab and
bard left hook and a damaging right
cross.
He win rule the strongest kind of
favorite in the contest with Perron,
lad will have about six pounds the
best of the weight.

Investment Securities
rs Pearl Street. Hart Conn.

Public Utility securities have been of the most
noticeable developments in American finance in recent
years We'll selected they of the most stable
forms of investment, and yield we'll
Our great transoontnenta railways were started in
period of rapid headong expansion Many of them were
built by government land grants and State and Municipal
bonds issues The corporations took the money land
built the roads, and being unrestricted issued securities
such amounts as they fit Thus many of these roads
were OveT-capitalized.
Public Utility development came in period of more
intensive finance Public Service Commissions and the
critical knowledge of investors forced the companies
to issue securities under more careful restrictions.
The reports of great Railroads now show falling sur
puseS while those OF Public Service Corporations show
rising SURPRISES.

DECISION At CABINET MEETING
Manifesto Addressed to People of
Mexico, Not to InSurrcctoS, but
Complies With Demands of Mad
Gro.

Mexico City, May Cen. Por-
firio Diaz 70 night issued Il manifes-
to To the people OF Mexico dcclar-
ing his intention to resign the Pres
tdenc! as soon as peace is restored.
In this manner the President has
virtually acCeded to the demands of
Francisco |. Madero, Jr. that he
makes announcement of such inton-
ton
As TO when peace iS actually re-
stored, Con. DiaZ reserves the right
To be judge. in the words OF the
manifesto. il will be when his CON
science tells him that he will not
leave his country in anarchy.
For His Country'S Sake.
The President declared that his
uetermination not to relinquish the
Presidency at this time was not due
to vanity or love of power, because,
as he points out power at this time
had no attraction, accompanied, as
1T is, by tremendous responsibility
and worries. He says he was
prompted by Il desire to conserve
the best interests of his country.
President Diaz made it clear that
ne does not propose to abandon the
Presidency while his country is at
war, and that he would not do so
at any time under compulsion. Pres
ldent DiaZ's manifesto will be made
publ" tomorrow morning when it
Will be sent to Judge Caraba jal, at

It's receipt by the rebels will be in
cldental. That it will be sent to
them Immediately, however, by pri-
Vate individuals and that it will be
regarded as entirely satisfactory
Ivy them is taken for granted
IL was at a Cabinet meeting this
afternoon that Gen. Diaz made his
decision. For two hours and a half
they discussed the terms of the
manifesto and at the conclusion OF
the meeting there remained nothing
TO do but to secure its official pro
mulgation

To observe the amenities of the

~ fht that MaderO and his advisors
were guilty of betraying an agree
ment in the question OF. the Pres

that il had been agreed to in CON
terence that this point should not
be permitted TO become an issue.
