DIAz AT AAvRE.
Reiterates His Love for
Republic Of Mexico.
Hopes Thai Revolution May Sue
coed, That Peace May Endure.
Says Americas Course Was DIgni-
fled, Unselfish and Generous.

Havre, France, June 20.-General
Porfrio Diaz, former President of
Mexico, arrived here today on the
steamer Ypiranga. He planned to
proceed to Paris this evening.
AS in Spain and England, Gen. Diaz
was officially welcomed on arriving in
France. Representatives of the pre-
lecture brought word in behalf of the
French nation. AS the steamer drew
near to the shore Of France Gen. Diaz,
who was active and as joyous as a
boy at the prospect of landing in
Europe, received a representative of
The Associated Press. After express
ing his appreciation of the tributes
paid to him by European countries,
the x-President enthusiastically ex-
claimed:
Il cannot predict the result of the
Mexican revolution. No man can read
the future, but | wish you would send
this message TO the people of Mexico:
1 desire with all my heart that the
revolution may succeed, so that the
people of Mexico may suffer the least
possible
THAT is my feeling of peace at this
moment ] love this Mexico which /
have built up by years of faithful toll
and I wish it to endure in peace"
To the direct question as to wheth-
err he intended to return to Mexico.
Gen. Diaz replied frankly: Il cannot
say" He added that he wished all
the United States to understand that
he had not the slightest feeling against
America. whose attitude he believed
had been dignified. unselfish and gen.
erous throughout.
America" the general said did her
best to prevent complications and to
seek the highest good for ALL [ did
my best for Mexico and as l Chamber
on the shores of the old world, | re-
iterate my message of good will and
peace"
The Mexican statesman has made
no plans for the summer. He probably
will go TO Switzerland by way of Paris.
When the Ypiranga drew up to the
pier Gen. Diaz was greeted by hun
dreds of persons. including many
MeXicans of prominence, who waved
their hats and handkerehiefs After
the steamer had wharved the ex-Presi-

In Senate Over Heyburn's
Little Dig at England.
Gallinger Says Canadian Annexa-
lion Is an IrridesCent Dream.
Lodge Favors Root Amendment 10
Reciprocity Agreement.

Washington, June 20.-Statements in
the Senate today by Hepburn of Idaho
that whatever we have taken from
England has been taken at the point
of the bayonet" produced the only
tense moment in today's short debate
on the Canadian reciprocity bill. Hey
burns remark, which he later explain
ed extended only to governmental ac-
QUESTIONS, was challenged by Bacon of
Georgia as a grave matter" in view
of the pending arbitration negotiations
with England. we have more to en-
Joy that we have received from Eng
land than from all the rest of the
world put together. said Bacon.
Gail1nger brought on the controversy
by asking if this nation did not owe
more To England, in the way of reci-
procity. than it did to Canada. because
had always given to this country and
the rest of the world.
Nelson. Mimi, said that his only
hope Of benefit from the Canadian rec
iproeity agreement was that 1t might
lead to annexation of Canada. He met
Gallinger's argument that reciprocity
ought to be given to Mexico and all
other nations, If given to Canada, by
Saying that this country could not
hope to annex the rest of the world.
BIT If we accomplish the annexation
of Canada we will have done great
deal" said Nelson.
Canadian annexation at this time
is an irridescent Dream" said Calm
ger. who is Canadian by birth. AT
one time it was seriously considered
by the leading men of Canada; but now
that country has grown to be a big,
strong, self-asserting nation, and by
this treaty we will further strengthen
it
L am convinced. added Gallinger,
that when this bill passes, there are
many Republicans on this side who
will join Democrats in kicking out
the foundation stones of the pro-
tective tariff system. We will be
fortunate il the whole structure OF
protection does not fall
Lodge, Mass, resumed his argu-
ment today on wood pulp and paper
and said that the Roet amendment is
necessary TO correct il and make in
conformity with the original agree
ment between the two countries
This amendment has been offered in
no spirit of hostility to the BILL" said
Lodge. and l am supporting it in no
spirit of hostility. | think 1t will
make the agreement better and
stronger. ! intend to vote for the
reciprocity measure because | think
in the long run it will draw the Unit
ed States and Canada closer to-
gether.'
Cummins introduced number of
amendments to the bill. calculated TO
enlarge the list of articles which will
be admitted free from Canada.

Identification Is Impossible Be-
fore Complete Exposure.
New Relics Uncovered In Cabin
Then Used by Captain.
Water VIII Be Held at Present Level
tor Several Days--leak Stopped:

Havana, June 20.--The skeleton OF
the Maine, coral-encumbered and
sWarming with grimy workmen. en-
gagged In cleaning the upperworks and
exploring as far as possible the ex-
posed interior spaces, stood spectre
like this morning above the green
Shiny pool within the Golfer dam. when
the water level was reduced to Is feet.
One additional foot had been pumped
out during the night Small as il was.
the reduction served to reveal a large
area hitherto entirely submerged and
every additional inch disclosed more
evidence OF the appalling character of
the explosion.
All attempts to study or identify any
of the portions of the great ragged
mass of up-heaved steel, once the
massive bow of the battieship, appear
absolutely futile until all Is completely
exposed. The lowering of the water
below the level of the spar deck amid
ships shows that the deck abreast the
engine room on the port side is greatly
bulged up, under which the whole side
OF the ship appears to have been blown
up. Protruding from this aperture are
twisted masses Of steel apparently
steam pipes and other apurtef,ances of
the main engines, all SO distorted and
eerroded as to defy identification at
present
Along the water on the starboard
side is visible the long row of dead
lights of the berth deck adjacent to
the ward-room and some of the off,
GERS quarters. An examination is i'm
possible until the water level has been
further reduced.
During the exploration of the stern
superstructure today. the searchers
found an ivory-hlted sabre in a fair
state of preservation. 1t doubtless be-
longed to Lieut.. now Major Aibertus
w. Cattlin. the officer in command OF
the ships Marine Guard and recently
commanding the expeditionary brigade
of marines at Hyantanamo. They also
found in the captains cabin a small
compass, much corroded. a bottle of
bay rum, perfectly preserved. small
toilet articles and a quantity of china
ware belonging to the wardroom and
officers staternoms.
Brigadier General Bixby expects tn
hold the water at the present level
fer several days, and 1t is hardly prob
able that additional relics win be dis
covered. The leak which developed in
the epffer-dam yesterday was located
and stopped UP this morning.

BOOT AND SHOE WORKERS.
Union Policy Adopted by overwhelm
ing Vote-keliey Protest Disailowed.

st. Paul, Mimi, June 20-The admins
tration forces of the International Boot
q Shoe Workers Union won a victory
today when the committee report on the
question of union policy was adopted 1870
to IS
This policy gives the locals the priv
ilege of executing their own contracts,
provides for the arbitration of difficult
ties and sets forth that local conditions
should govern prices. The report states
that long period must elapse before
prices can be based on a national scale
Other reports adopted urge an increased
sale of union stamped shoes; condemn
the methods resorted to in the arrest of
John J. Mcnamara. and declare for CON
elliatory measures in connection with la
Dor disputes.
The statement continues: The commit
tee, however, agreed that greater safe
guards should be demanded OF transpor-
tation companies in the issuance Of nego-
table bills of iading for merchandise of
all classes, and it approves the methods
of safeguarding the issuance of bills of
lading proposed in the agreement being
signed by the railroads. and will assist
and cooperate with all the various inter-
ests in the passage and enforcement of
federal and state laws and railway com
mission regulations leading TO greater
safety in the handling of negotiable docu-
ments for all parties concerned"
The credentials committee report dlsai-
lowed the protest of Charles Kelley of
Brockton, Mass, against the seating OF
Delegate Charles j. MeCorrow of Phila-
delphia and McCorrow's contest against
the entire delegation from Brockton. All
were seated by unanimous vote. Joseph
J. Portras of Brockton protested the
seating of John Fl. Bamford of New Bed
ford. but by vote of 200 to As Bamford
was seated.
The report of the auditing committee
showed that during the year 1911, 0i3 was
paid for sick benefit and s1707 for strike
benefits. A telegram was received from
the mayor of Montreal inviting the union
to hold its next session in that city.

i DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

NJ is not often that the action of a

good citizens regardless Of party
allegiance, as political prejudice is of
ten apt to warp ones judgement, even
unconsciously. In converting the Leg

nor Glasscock, rising above partisan
politics and evincing broad minded
craftsmanship in insisting that this
measure shall receive proper consid-
GRAFTON by our law making body, has
struck popular cord.

parties in their respective platforms
declared uneqivocally for this reform
