the national palace to the chamber Of
deputies, where the oath Of ONCE was
administered by the members OF the
staff Of former President Diaz.
The staff officials had resigned days

cort the provisional president to the
scene Of his inauguration. The new

cluding the diplomatic corps In full
|regalia headed by American Ambasso-
dor Henry Lane Wilson, the dean OF
the corps.

despite the magnitude Of the crowds
which celebrated the change IN ad-
ministration, business men this morn
ing prepared to resume their occupa-
tions on normal basis.
Shutters were removed from the
windows for the first time In two days
and the morning sunlight, like good
omen, cast it's rays through the open
facings Of the buildings, Frightening
the appearance OF the
business districts. A large crowd
gat-. cred about the chamber OF depu-
ties cheering for Senior De La Barra
and General Madero, while tho oath
was being administered:
It is now regarded as certain that
Alfredo Robes Domingues. General
Madero's representative here, and who
Is virtually the military commander OF
the federal district, will not find 1t
necessary to call In the revolutionary
forces from the cities Of Cuernavaca
and Pachuca for the purpose of iaain-
tanning order. The police ana SOL
diers are acting under the direction
of Senior Dominguez with as much
readiness as If they had never known
another superior.
General Diaz Better.
General Diaz condition was report
ed as improved this morning. The
inflammation in his face Is said to
have subsided greatly and the fever
to have disappeared. Members OF the
retired presidents family expressed
the belief that he will be able to sail
for Europe for cruise by the last Of
the month.

converse's Address.
Probably the most instructive, enter
tanning and pleasing address OF the
whole convention was delivered this
afternoon at the convention hall in the
Uttt building by w. A. Converse
chemical director OF the Dearborn
Drug & Chemical Co., Of Chicago. His
speech was Of an educational nature
and its value to the delegates cannot
be conceived as 1t was the most prac.
tical talk on oils ever heard at an N. "A.
s. E. convention. Every delegate who
was privileged to hear the speaker de-
clared that they would not have missed
It for an yreason whatever. Mr.. Con-
verses subject was "Petroleum-Its
Products and Their Uses" Parts Of
the discourse were illustrated by
means Of stereopticon and were
thus the more explicit and beneficial
The first part OF his lecture was OF
an historical nature, dealing with the
discovery, the first uses and In fact.
everything connected with the first
finding Of the oil. Mr.. Converse dweIt
upon this phase Of his subject at some
length. He next explained the ingredi-
ents, minerals, ETC.. which are thought
to make up the oil. This explanation
was followed by the discussion Of the
various characteristics of the different
grades OF oil found throughout the
world, showing wherein they differ
and the properties of each which make
them valuable
The practical and most important
part OF the address was the discourse
on the different lubricants and their
uses, methods OF testing and to what
they are best adapted, which every en-.
gineer present was interested in be-
cause Of It's practicability. The audi.
tors received valuable instruction that
will prove Of the greatest service to
them in their work. Mr.. Converse
brought out plainly the ingredients
necessary for different uses and
showed how to test the lubricants that
the user may know that his oil con-
tains the properties 1t should. He
showed the engineers how to tell what
kind Of oil they we-e receiving from
the manufacturer and to discover the
changing Of the grade II there is any.

Another New Water Supply

Our city dads were to have an oppor-
tunlty to consider an entirely new water
proposition at the city council meeting
which failed to materialize last Monday
night" says the La Junta Tribune.
George T. Prince. for FIVE years chief
engineer of the Denver Union Water
Company. but now with George H. Seth
man. general engineer and constructor
came down from the capitol city to confer
with the city fathers and enlighten them
as to the merits of an entirely new water
supply scheme. Mr. Prince is wise to
million and half gallon daily supply OF
pure water within thirty miles of La
Junta which he will deliver on a gravity
system, and will guarantee that it will
not cost to exceed $4,000. and this cost
price will include installing meters on the
property of every consumer. which Mr..
Prince says is the only system that is
practical or wise in any city. Mr.. Prince
refused to divulge the exact location of
his water supply. except as to its beng
within thirty miles of La Junta, and the
city dads missed the opportunity Of their
lives in not being among those present at
the council meeting. They may never
again have like opportunity"
