Mexico City.-Gen. Porfirio Diaz has

manifesto 1t will be when his con-
science tells him that he will not leave
his country In anarchy"
The president said his determine
ton not to %relinquish the presidency
ct this time was not due to vanity or
love OF power, because, as he pointed
out, power at this time had no attrac-
ton, accompanied as it is by tremen-
d0us responsibilities and worry. He
said he was prompted solely by a de-
sire to conserve the best interests OF
his country.

politics, and was very popular with the
Republicans Of South Dakota.
On July II, 1901, Mr.. Kittredge was
appointed United States senator to Al,

which convened in January, 1903, elect

committees, and taking a prominent
part in inaugurating the work of con-
structing the Panama canal.
1t is said of Senator Kittredge that
he came in closer and more personal
contact n was more universally loved
than any public man in South Dakota.
Mothers revered him for the interest
he took in their sons, and he has been
known to go out of his way MANY q

been drinking and bring him to the
realization of what he was doing and
where he would ultimately end. Manv

O. KS LORIMER PROBE
SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES MON
EY FOR AN INQUIRY.
IA FoIIette's Resolution Calling Fol
New Investigation VIII Come UP
For Action Before Senate.

Washington.-The committee o I
audit and control of the contingent ex-
penses of the senate decided to report
back to the senate the La toilette
resolution for the reopening Of he
L0rimer case with a statement that
the contingent fund of the senate Is
sufficient t defray the expenses OF
n investigation the senate may Or
der.
But the committee specifically an
nounced that it had not passed upon
the merits of the case, and did not
feel that it had a right to do so.
In the report which will be submit
ted to the senate the five members of
this committee declare that their &C.
ton in reporting the La Toilette meas
ure to the senate has nothing to do
with it's merits. The committee takes
the position that it's only duty lies in
providing the funds for an investiga.
ton, should the senate decide that
there ought TO be a new inquiry.
Whether there should be such an in
quiry, and if so, whether it should be
made by the standing committee on
privileges and elections or by a spe-
cial committee, are problems which
the committee on contingent expenses
declares it has no authority to an
swer.
Springfield, nl.-What Chairman
Helm described as the last public
hearing of the bribery committee, un-
less Attorney Healy should produce
more witnesses, was held here. The
committee spent twenty minutes in
t~errogating G. A. Taylor and w. T.
Cable, both OF Harrisburg, ILL.,, but
obtained no evidence of value from
either. Both denied any knowledge of
the use of money in connection with
Lorimer's election, but Taylor testi-
fed he had heard that Representative
York might get a federal appointment
by voting for Lorimer.

CAPITAL CHAT
Want Many Loans.

Want Many Loans.
While the recent sale of state school
lands has brought about $500, 900 to
the permanent school fund which is
available for loaning, this sum will not
by any means fill the applications
which are on file in the department for
loans from that fund. Just at present
the applications are near $500, 900, and
for a lumber of years the applications
have always been far in excess of the
fund. Before the rate of interest was
reduced, which also included the time
before the business expansion in the
state for the past ten years, the fund
grew to such proportions that the
state department, under the authority
granted it by law, forced the money
out each year upon the counties, to get
some return upon the cash on hand,
which it was forced could legally get
it back into the state treasury, they
hurried it back and stopped the inter-
est charge which was made against the
county while h money laid in the
different county treasures. But now
instead of forcing out the money, the
question is to apportion the fund on
hand equitably between the counties
which are calling for it instead Of
lodging it.

DEFENDS DOLLAR DIPLOMACY
Assistant Secretary of State Wilson
Declares Ample Armament Is Best
Safeguard for Peace.

Baltimore, Md.-A defense of IDOL,
creating prosperity, meant ultimately
the substitution of dollars for bull
let's" was made before the third ma
tional peace congress by Huntington
Wilson. assistant secretary Of state.
He declared that ample armament
was the best safeguard of peace, and
said that such a state of prepared
ness could be accomplished without
~burdening h taxpayers.
THE nation which can do the most
to secure international peace" he as
serted, must be the nation with the
highest ideals, plus the greatest mill
tary efficiency. Wa springs from the
human heart, not from the arsenal,
and the human heart rather than the
archives of diplomatic engagements is
still the only ultimate sure abode of
peace.
Another practical mode of pursu-
ing the ideal of world peace is the
true meaning of what has been called
dollar diplomacy Today interna-
tional is everywhere an i'm
portant development Of diplomacy.
Dollar diplomacy really means the
use of the capital Of the country In
the foreign field in a manner calcu-
lated to enhance fixed national poll
cies. 1t means the substitution Of dol
lars for bullets. It means the crea-
ton of a prosperity which will be pre-
ferred to predatory strife. 1t recog-
nizes that prosperity lei content
ment end contentment means re-
pose"
Wilson declared his belief that
President Taft's arbitration treaty
with Great Britain would ultimately
be ratified by both nations.
High compliment to President Taft
for proposing his Anglo-Ameriaan
arbitration treaty was paid by Rep
r%esentative B%artholde (Rep. MOI, a
member Of the inter-parliamentary
peace union. He expressed the hope
that the senate would act immediate
ly in ratifying the Anglo-Amerfcan
treaty.
"If arbitration is to be made pos
sible," he said, sit must in each cas-
be resorted to without much delay,
that is, before the popular passion is
aroused

ed strong almost until the last, he
could take no nourishrlent, and it was
only when this state If affairs became
known to his brother that he gave up
hope, for in spite of the reports to the
contrary H. w. Kittredge believed that
his distinguished brother would regain
consciousness and ultimately
Only his nurse was with him when he
passed away, for his vitality had been
so remarkably strong that neither his
brother or sister, who had been in the
room an hour previous, believed that
death would come so soon. The nurse
stated that he seemed to lake just one
long breath and it was all over. Both
brother and sister were in the hotel
and were hurriedly summoned to the
deathbed, but arrived too late.
The remains were taken to his old
home at Keene, N. H., for interment.
While a member of he United
States senate Mr.. kittridge was on
many important committees and for his
state accomplished many things. His
most notable achievement was that of
writing the report on the title to the
property in the Panama canal zone
which the best attorneys in the country
could not find a flaw in, and which
has been read and reread by the dip
lomats of the world. Not a single
word of that report has ever beer
changed. In secret societies he held
many high offices, being prominent
as a Mason, Shriner, Elk, Woodman of
the World, Red Men and others.
Alfred B. Kittredge was distinctly
a self-made man. He was born March
%, 1861, in Cheshire county. n. H.
His early education was obtained in
the public school and by private tutor.
When II years of age he entered Yale
university, graduating from that fam
Gus institution in 1882. He then com
menced the study OF law in the office |
of Judge Veasey, at Rutland, Vt, af-
studying in the law office of
Bachelor & Faulkner, of the same
place.
The study of law was continued un-
TIL 1884, when he entered the Yale law
school, from which he graduated in
the spring of 1885. In June of the same
year he was admitted to the bar by
