SAYS LIMANTOUR WILL
SUCCEED DIAZ SOON

New York, March 19.-Senor Jose
Yves Limantour is on his way to Mex
leo City to assume the presidency of
the Mexican government, for time at
least, according to Gustavo Madero,
brother of the Mexican revolutionist
leader.
The retirement of Diaz, Madero says,
will pave the way to peaceable set
tlement of the revolution and the hold
ing of a general election, at which "a
representative of the majority of all
the voters" will be elected president.
Madero Confirms Story.
This declaration was published this
morning and confirmed by Madero at
his hotel. The statement says in part:
"Senor Limantour, the strong man of
the Diaz government, is to succeed his
hief as president Immediately, his title
becoming Provisional President He
will hold office until real election is
held, when the regular candidates,
nominated by conventions yet to be
called. will take place. This is the
only way to save Mexico.
Temporary Reign.
"Limantour is to be president only
for little while. Then the candidates
will 60 before the people and a repre-
sentative of the majority of the voters
will be president. Will my brother be
that man? Gen. Bernandino Reyes?

tour was at the Hotel Plaza, and there

port which may come any day from

stepped aside and that Limantour is
ruler"

IMMIGRATION RESPONSIBLE
FOR FIVE LARGEST DAMS

Chicago. ILL.,, March 20.-The United
States Reclamation Service, in its
work of supplying moisture to arid
lands, has given the world five of its
largest dams. It was quite appre
pirate that one of the largest of these,
q part Of the Salt river project in
Arizona, should be called the Roose-
welt dam in honor Of the man who
as President signed the act which
made its construction possible.
Col. Roosevelt, in connection with
his visit to Phoenix, March Is to 20,
formally dedicated the dam named in
his honor. In this connection 1t is
interesting to note that the nineteenth
National Irrigation Congress, at which
it is expected Col. Roosevelt will be
one Of the principal speakers at Chi
cago, December to 9, has for its
president Hon. B. A. Fowler of Phoe-
nix, Arizona, who for many years was
president Of the Salt River Valley
Water Users Association.
This immense dam, requiring over
four years work and costing in the
neighborhood Of $500. 900, is $50 feet
high, length of base 235 feet and top
1000 feet. The dam is higher than
the Flatiron building in New York
and would hide the Capitol at Wash
ington to the dome. Two fourth
hands could pass on the top. Most Of
the wall rests on stones big enough
for q team and wagon to stand on
and weighing sixteen tons each.
The lake formed by the dam ex-
tends back in the valley twenty miles
and holds enough water to food 2,OOo
square miles foot deep. The re-
claimed land will make $4,000 FARMS
each large enough to support at least
five people, making homes for fuzzy
125,000 Americans. Each acre, II Is
estimated, will yield yearly crops var
ued at $50 to $125.
