DIAz WILL QUIT
BEFORE JUNE |
MINISTER DE LA BARRA WILL BE
MADE PRESIDENT OF
MEXICO.
PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED
MADERo TO BECOME CHIEF Ao-
WISER TO HEAD OF
THE NATION.

Mexico City-President Diaz and
Vice President Corral will resign be-
fore June 1st.
Minister of Foreign Relations De
La Barra will become president ad
interim.
Francisco |. Madero. the revolu-
tionary leader, will be called to Mex
leo City to act as De lie Barra's chief
adviser and as the greatest guaran-
tee possible that every pledge made
by the government will be carried
out.
AS viewed by the public, it would
be virtually a joint presidency, pend
ing a new election.
The cabinet will be reorganized.
The minister of war viii be named
by De La Barra. The foreign office
will be in charge of a subsecretary
named by him.
Other cabinet members will be
chosen by him and Madero jointly.
A new election win be called with
in six months.
Political amnesty will be recon-
These are the conditions upon
which President Diaz will compro-
mise. Virtually they are admitted in
high quarters to be a complete sur
render to the revolutionists.
The resignation of Diaz and the
Joint regency" of De La Barra and
Madero are said to constitute guar
antee so complete that the original
insurrecto demand for fourteen gov
ernors no longer need be considered.
The Cabinet was in almost continu-
GUS session for two days, despite the
severe illness of President Diaz The
Presidents entire face is infected
from an liberated tooth. His upper
lip is swollen far beyond its normal
size, and his face is inflamed. He
speeks with the greatest difficulty,
but while he is in severe pain, his
condition is not alarming, despite his
advanced age.
The public received the announce
ment of Diaz's intention to resign
with profound satisfaction. Since the
battle of Juarez they have realized
that the Presidents remuneration OF
his high office alone could bring
about peace. Business throughout the
republic has suffered severely and the
people generally were eager for an
honorable peace.

TWO STORIES ON REPUBLICAN LEADER

rWO stories on Jim Mann, Republic
i an leader in the house, have devei-
oped recently, and the worst of 1t Is
they are both on the Chicagoan. A
newspaper man who likes the birds
and flowers and knows all about them
was walking down town from his
home early one morning the other
day. He stopped at Iowa circle to
look at the crocuses and the forget
me.nots that were poking their
heads through the flower plots. He
saw another man similarly engaged,
except that the other man was more
curious and was poking around in
the black loan with his walking
stick. The newspaper nm recognized
Mr. Mann.
We'll, l see you are nature lover
too. Mr.. Manu." he said.
"a what?" asked mann.
"A nature lover"
Not on your life" answered the
minority leader Il dropped a quar-
ter around here somewhere a minute

Mr.. Mann walked out OF the White
House the other day Since his ele

All of which was so obviously not
government business that the caller in
wardly wondered at the boldness OF
the clerk-and that oil the girl at the
other end of the wire. For minutes
were passing. Murphy" figured again;
also some unexplained incident of a
shirt bosom and drug store. The
caller blushed, and he read the old
mail he kept in his pocket for just
such occasions. More minutes passed,

Washington.-The principle of arbi
tration of practically all disputes be
tween nations, including questions OF
vital interest and national honor, as
sumed vitality when Secretary Knox
submitted to the British and French
ambassadors at Washington the draft
of a convention to serve as a basis OF
negotiations. The fact that this gov
ernment would be inaugurated with
France as well as with Great Britain
came as a surprise, as it was gener
ally understood that only the United
States and England were concerned.

THE era of investigation has begun
i in Washington and soon will affect
every corner of the United States.
1t is impossible to walk around
Washington without running across
sherlock Holmes. There is no branch
of the government too inconspicuous
to escape attention. The Democrat
microscope is being cleaned for use
in matters ranging from the action OF
the president in mobiizing United
States troops on the border of Mexico
to the sanitary conditions in the pub
lie buildings.
The various committees cannot get
actively at work in this direction un-
til December, when the estimates for
expenses will be submitted by the
president. and this affords an opportu-
nItv for the resurrection of a number
of committees. The investigations
these committees will conduct are as

to the correspondents. The newspaper
men nailed him at the door.
Nothing doing. boys" said Mann.
and he placed the tip of his finger to
his lips.
At that precise instant flock Of
visiting school girls and their teach
ers loomed into view from behind a
bush abutting the path to the execu-
tive offices. The girls saw dignified
looking gentleman with white beard
looking directly at them and apparent
ly throwing kiss. They giggled. they
blushed and they retreated.

spectacled teacher.
He wasn't bad looking, was he?"

SHOWS HOW LAZY A CLERK CAN BE

T He lazy government clerk has so
long been a standard type in cur
rent fiction that his fellow, the lazy
bureau chief, is often utterly neglect
ed. OF course, the bureau chief Is
fewer and farther between than the
clerk, and his laziness is thereby not
quite so apparent.
1t was a pleasant spring afternoon
in a nameless government office. The
town clocks were striking three. The
sunshine lay warm and brilliant across
old rugs. and glancing from the hand
some finish of dull mahogany desks.
A caller entered the anteroom to a

turned again to the telephone. The

SITE EVENTS.

One of the handsomest affairs of
early summer was the luncheon given
by Mrs. II. l.. Haussamen OF Grafton
Wednesday to a number Of her friends.
The guests. who numbered forty, were
seated at small tables, finding their
places by numbers on attractive score
cards. A delicious five course lunch
con was served by the hostess, assisted
by Mrs. J.. G. Suter and Mrs. Grant S.
Hager. After the luncheon places at
the card tables were found on the re-
verse side of the score cards, and the
afternoon happily spent in playing 500.
The game was varied In a novel way
by having the final scores at two of
the tables doubled. This resulted in
some spirited bidding, with varying
degrees of success. Highest and low
est scores were made by Mrs. Al. r.
Fairbanks and Mrs. Grant s. Hager re-
spectiveIy, who were awarded dainty
favors. Mrs. Charles Murray Of Min
neapolis was an out Of town guest.
Sunday Mr. and Mrs. t. III. Miller,
prominent residents OF Norway town
ship, near Penn, had the pleasure OF
celebrating the day OF all days--the
twenty fifth anniversary OF their we'd
ding day. In the form of surprise
party rendered them by their friends
and neighbors. Throngs of people, who
had assembled at Grand Harbor
Lutheran church in the morning wen
ded their way toward the beautiful
farm home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Miller and
took the family by complete surprise.
Al bounteous dinner was served after
which the happy couple were presented
with several pieces of beautiful silver
ware. The afternoon was spent re-
viewing bygone days.
