FRIENDS OF DIAZ
SHORN OF POWER
Control of Mexican Central
Taken Over by Madero.

FL Paso June 1S.-Control of the Mexi-
can National Railways, representing
hundreds of millions of dollars, which
now lies in the hands of a group of
Cientificos, close friends of former Presi-
| dent Diaz, is to be wrested from them at
| once by the new Mexican government
at the direction of Francisco I. Madero
and associates.
This means that the enemies of the
revolutionary party are to be deprived of
| the last vestige of their power, and, in
| fact, the most important source Of their
| influence. The Cientificc group, Of which
Senior Jose Limantour is the head, now
has a majority of eight on the board of
directors. However, the board can be
changed by order of the President Of the
republic.
The present government will remove
enough OF the members of the dominant
faction to destroy the power OF the old
Diaz clique and replace them with men
who can be depended upon. This action
probably will be taken within a week.
Cientificos now in the city OF Mexico
are panic-stricken, and a majority Of
them are preparing to leave for the
United States or Europe, following the
example of Limantour and Escandon.
The government, through the influence
eof Madero, is now preparing to make a
Erigid examination Of all contracts and
treasury accounts in which the Cienti-
icos have figured.
An investigation to be started by the
Maderists viii involve an inquiry into the
affairs of great corporation. represent
ing the Pearson oil interests, which are
backed by British capital and controlled
by Lord Cowdray.
II Is openly charged by influential mem-
bers OF the Madero party that the Pear
son company secretly donated s1.500000 in
stock to members Of the Cientihco group
in order to obtain friendly influence on
the board of directors of the National
Railways. The coming inquiry viii deal
particularly with the relations between
the British company and the former ad-

Friends of Agreement Hope to Aid
Canadian supporters.
The debate in the Senate on the Cana
dian recipfocity bill is likely to go for
ward more rapidly in the next week than
heretofore. The Canadian Parliament
will reassemble July 90 The Taft ad-
ministration and friends of reciprocity
in the Senate want to see the measure
passed by the time the Parliament re-
assemblies as a means of supporting the
Liberal party in Canada, which has
espoused the agreement.
It is suspected in Washington that the
insurgent Senators are eager to delay
the vote until after the dissolution OF
the Canadian Parliament, in order that a
sentiment may be aroused in the United
States in favor of waiting upon the
Canadians before taking action upon the
surgents are preparing amendments and
long speeches, and predicting delay. The
friends of the measure have the votes
TO keep the Senate in session and will
insist that the debate be continuous until
completed. They feel confident of over
coming the obstructive tactics.
The friends Of the bill believe that II
Congress passes it in July, the conserv-
atlves will not be able to maintain
themselves in the election on the reci-
procity issue The insurgents probably
hope to create sentiment against the
agreement that will help the conserv-
ative cause by delaying action.

One of them touched a tree with the

but the others did not want a house.
Then a Goblin turned a rock into a
pond and the Gnomes said it was one
of their doors, and they fell to quarrel

with a wand was turned to stone.
Then the wands burned the hands Of
the others and when they threw them
