DIPHTHERIA SCARE PASSES.
v. Of M. Student Stricken BY Maiady
On Road To Recovery.

ANN ARBOR,< Mich, May S.-The
threatened epidemic of diphtheria at
the University of Michigan seems to
have passed away with but one light
case of the disease.
Trouble started at the Sigma Chi
house when Frank Murphy was
stricken with the disease, and was
removed to University hospital. The
house was Immediately quarantined.
Matters began to look suspicious
when 10 members of the Chi Psi fra
ternity were taken Ill the following
day with sore throats. This house
was also placed under quarantine by
the city health officer, and cultures
from the throats of the 10 were taken.
The examination developed that the
men were suffering from tonsilitis,
and the quarantine was removed.
Saturday, Capt. Hill, member. OF
the Sigma Chi fraternity, was unable
to play In the baseball game between
Michigan and o. s. u, because OF
tonsilitis, and other members OF that
fraternity have been troubled with
sore throats. However, DR.. Breakey
health officer, states that there is but
one case OF diphtheria, and that he
does not expect an outbreak OF the
disease at this time. Murphy is on
the road to recovery, and members
of the two fraternities are renewing
preparations for house parties which
were given up when the suspected
cases developed.

AUTO PATROL AIDS
IN HEART HEALING
Picks Up Myrtle Franklin, Exhausted
From Chasing Lover, Takes Her
Home and Reconciliation Follows.

Auto patrols and affairs of the heart
go hand in hand these bright spring
days.
Witness the tragic case of Winsome
Myrtle Franklin, ~ summers and des.
perately in love. Sunday evening, her
Lothario called at the Franklin resi-
dence, located somewhere near the
sky line and Twelfth-st., in Greenfield
township.
There was some misunderstanding
and the L.othario departed. Myrtle,
In desperation, started in pursuit. II
was In the dead OF night, but love
laughs at deserted highways, even IN
the suburbs, and the fearless Myrtle
marathoned 1t for two miles.
At Calvert and Third-sts., she be-
came exhausted and fell in heap. A
citizen called the auto patrol and
Myrtle. who had quite recovered her
breath, poured her tale of unrequited
love into the ears of bunch OF sym
pathetic bluecoats. They piled her
into the auto, put on the high speed
clutch and raced homeward with her.
The Lothario, having relented and
returned, was there, chatting with
Myrtle's father. There was a recon
ciliation, the cops murmured a bene-
diction and the auto patrol made q
graceful exit as the curtain fell.

parently she shot herself while on her

OF her night dress was checked when

OAz's MANIFESTO
SHIFTS LIABILITY
TO MADERO
Aged President Agrees To Retire
When He Is Convinced Anarchy
Win Not Follow His Resigna-
ton From Office.
Madero Must Agree To Terms or
Admit His Personal Ambition II
Paramount in Insurrection.

CITY OF MEXICO. May s.-Presi-
dent Diaz's manifesto, In which he
agrees TO resign his oficial once
when he is sausfied that his retire
ment will not be followed by anarchy,
will be made public here today. Il
will not be sent officially to Judge
Carbajal for formal transmission to
DIR. Vasquez Gomez, the representa-
tive of Francisco /. Madero, Jr., in
the peace conference near Juarez.
II will be sent to them immediately
by private individuals, however, and
there is little doubt that the rebels
will regard the announcement az en-
tirely satisfactory. The negotiations
between the representatives of the
Diaz government and the rebels had
been broken on, Saturday, because
President Diaz refused to announces
his intention Of retiring, but the is-
suance of the manifesto, last night, IL
expected to remove the last obstacle
to the peaceful settlement Of the
revolution.
The revised draft of the appeal to
the country was considered by the
cabinet and president today.
The president declared II to be the
purpose of the government to grant
the demand that neither the presi-
dent nor vice-president shall be re-
elected; also judicial reform and
the complete reorganization of all the
states. Diaz insists that he has al
ways acted for the benefit of the
whole people. He states that he has
recently counselled with many peo-
pie, including 'all who have the real
interest of our beloved country al
heart" and says that II has never
been his intention to interfere with
progress.
Without head, Diaz says. the gov.
ernment would be unable to complets
normal conditions Of peace and an
archy would become rampant. Be
cause of this he has refused to dx
any date on which he will retire. His
responsibility Is to the nation. he
says, and because of this he simply
states that, when absolute order n
restored In the country he will retire
as its president. 80.
The appeal warmly eulogixes the
army and concludes with fervent
appeal to all patriotic Mexicans to
rally to the support of the govern
ment and aid in restoring order
throughout the country.
Members of the cabinet declared
today that Diaz has secured q great
tactical advantage by the proclama-
ton. They say he has shifted the re-
sponsibility to Madero and IL the lat
ter quibbles over accepting the terms
OF the proclamation he will show that
the charges that his personal am
bition caused the revolution are wei
founded.

really debating political parties? We
are debating nothing less than the
fundamentals OF government; we are
debating nothing less than the ques-
ton: Have we democratic govern
ment-a representative government!
Have we a government whose con-
nections are with the general body
of the people and which responds to
the impulses of the people and to the
judgments that lie In their hearts?
Is II a party question whether we
shall control, in some fair and ade-
ouate fashion, those great corpora
tions which serve the hourly necessi-
ties of our life? Is there any party
politics In the question whether men
shall spend money for illegitimate
purposes at election?
That is merely a question or ne
purity of functions OF government,
whether the men who are put into au-

or foul: IL Is a question OF the In

The main question is: Shall The

Diaz's Manifesto Stops
Rebel March to Mexico City

Ell PASO, Texas, May S.--After
a wild celebration In the streets Of
Ell Paso lasting practically all night
Francisco |. Madero, early today, that
the manifesto Of President Diaz am
nouncing his intention OF retiring
probably would result In an immedi-
ate renewal OF the armistice In the
Mexican revolution.
The Diaz announcement came just
in time to stop a general movement
OF the insurgent troops away from
Juarez and towards the City of Mex
leo. At z p. m. the rebel outposts
moved up closer to Juarez and fired
a few shots. In Juarez this was be-
lieyed to be the signal for a genera
attack and there was much excif&
ment. There was no further firinx
however, and within an hour the ~
surgent forces were moving sou<1
ward, the shots having been fired ~
cover the rebel retreat.
II was at this stage that q telc-
gram came from Mexico City an
the Diaz manifesto. This n
was Immediately com
municated to Madero and Gen. Oroz-
co and the former Immediately rush
ed couriers TO stop the advance Of
his troops.
II am going to send Gen. Diax
Telegram Of congratulation on his
patriotism. | am overjoyed to hear
his announcement as | believe II will
make for peace" said Madero.
Dr. Gomez declared the manifesto
means that peace will come immedi-
ately. The primary condition has
been carried out, he declared and all
other conditions are merely secondary
and can be easily arranged.
