REBELS STOP PLANNED
ATTACK ON NEWS OF
PRES. DIAZ MANIFESTO.

FL Paso, May S.-After a wild
celebration in the streets of Ell Paso,
lasting practically all night, 1t was
announced at the camp of Francisco
festo of President Diaz announcing
his intention of retiring probably
would result in renewal of the armis-
fice in the Mexican revolution.
The Diaz announcement came just
in time to stop a general movement
of the insurgents troops away from
Juarez and towards the City of Mex
ico- AT D. m, the rebel outposts
moved up closer to Juarez and fired
a few shots. In Juarez this was be-
1ieyed TO be the signal for a general
attack and there was much excite
ment There was no further firing,
however, and within an hour the in
eurgent forces were moving south
ward, the shots having been fired to
cover the rebel retreat.
1t was then that a telegram came
from Mexico City announcing Diaz.
manifesto. This information was
communicated to Madero and Cen
eral Orozco and the former rushed
couriers ahead to stop the advance
of his troops.
II am going to send General Diaz
telegram of congratulation on his
patriotism said Madero 'I am
overjoyed to hear his announcement
as I believe it will make for peace"
LII GO1neZ u0CldToQ the manifesto
means that peace will come immedf-
ately.
Judge Francisco Carbajal, Diaz' Of
ficial peace envoy, declared. early to-
day, that he had received no notice
of the presidents manifesto but it is
believed that its text will be tele-
graphed him before night. DIR.
Gomez expects, as soon as the mani
festo reaches JuareZ, that Carba ial
will suggest a further armistice
Gomez declares that Madero will
grant the request and that the peace
negotiations will be renewed with
practical certainty of an amicable
outcome.
AT an early hour, today the in
surgents in Madero's camp We're still
celebrating the Diaz manifesto Sew
eral bands serenaded Madero all
night and the men gathered around
bonfires and shouted, sang and dane
ed.
1t developed. today, that the re-
treat of the rebels at Juarez resulted
from a proclamation from Madero
calling the insurrecto forces away
from the frontier. The proclamation
declared that a renewal of the in
cident of the killing of Americans on
American soil would probably result
an American Intervention.

SIC, 1000. 900 OF GOLD
BULLION FOR DIAZ IN
WALL STREET VAULTS

New York May S.-Go1d bullion
valued at more than S10,000,000 is In
the United States sub-treasury here
which Wall street rumor says is the
property of President Diaz of Mexico.
The yellow metal represents newly
mfnted Mexican money received at
the sub-treasury through the inter-
national banking firm of LaZard
F'reres, with the request that it be
melted down, formed into bars and
held subject to orders. Because the
gold was in coins that had never been
circulated. financial experts here say
the money represents private re-
sources of President Diaz and he sent
it here so if he has to flee he will
not lose his fortune.

UNIVERSITY MAKES RECORD
OF SEVEN PROMINENT scIEN-
lists, SIX LOCATED THERE.

Chapel Hill, Jan. IA recent
study made by Mr.. T. P, Nash, Jr.,
OF the graduate school of the univerl
sity, in american Men of Science, ;"
reveals an alarming paucity of south
ern scientific men who have place
among American scientists of ma
tional reputation. The editor of
American Men of Science" has care
fully compiled list of the 1000
most important names in the u
sciences, from mathematics to
psychology. The study brings out
the fact that the state OF New York
has more than five times as many
scientific men of standing than the
IL southern states together. MaA-
ing a proportion between the number
of scientists to the number of square
miles area, it is found that Massa-
ehusetts has $50 TO the south's one.
II is, however, pleasing fact that
in proportioning the number of seien-
fists to the number of inhabitants of
towns. the town of Chapel Hill comes
second in the list for the whole Uni
ted States. In the year 1910, 80 of
the 1000 leading scientific men OF
the United States were living in
southern states: and OF these Virginia
had the largest number, 10, and
North Carolina came second with
seven. OF the seven men in North
Carolina six were in the faculty OF
the university. They were: F. p.
yenable, professor OF chemistry; c.
H. Herty, professor of chemistry; J.
E. Mills. professor OF chemistry; A.
S. Wheeler. professor of chemistry;
H. v. Wilson, professor Of zoology,
and w. c. Cocker. professor OF botany.
The other North Carolinian was f
L. Stevens. professor of botany in
the A. and NJ. college.

Dr. Hiram C. Cortland, the we'll

in q recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he

know about souls? His forte is cleo

Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how a locomotive is made.

then you put II In thing that bores
