STIRRING CARER OF DIAZ.
Soldier Statesman Has Eight Times
Been Chosen President of Mexico.


Been Chosen President of Mexico.
Mexico City-Porfiro Diaz was
born September Is, 1880, on the ami
versary of Mexican independence
Oaxaca was his birthplace. His father
was a Spaniard and his mother of In
dian extraction. His mother at first
intended ha he should enter the
church, but finally yielded to his de-
sires SO that he pursued the studies
then required for a lawyers career.
While thus engaged. the invasion of
Mexican territory by American troops
occurred, and young Diaz, with other
fellow students, offered his services
to the government of Oaxaca. The
governor accepted their patriotic Of
fer, but did not require the students
to go into the battlefield Diaz served
in the revolt against General Santa
Ana, and supported Juarez in his war
ended in 1858. At the age of 20 he
was general of brigade, fighting the
French when Napoleon III. tried to
place Macmillan on the Mexican
throne. Macmillan and his generals
were captured by him in 1867, and
soon after Mexico City capitulated.
Diaz was regularly elected president
of Mexico for the first time in 1877.
He was succeeded at the end of his
term by General Manuel Gonzales.
His browning achievement in the Con-
zales administration was the abroga-
ton of the law against presidential
reelection. and in 1884 he was elect
ed president for the second time.
There has been no other president in
Mexico since then, and until last sum-
mer the opposition to him never at
tanned serious proportions. He was
elected president for the eighth time

been pushed off the counter. Platts
head had been crushed The coroner
said Plat had been dead fully six
hours when the body was found, which
indicated that the old man had been
surprised while eating and beaten to
death Platt always carried consider
able money and small wallet con.
tanning numerous old coins of America
and other countries. His pockets had
been rified, the murderer obtaining
about $3.50 in cash and some clothing
The wallets were found in the alley
back of the store. The murderer had
apparently locked the front door, leay-
ing through the rear door, setting the
spring lock so that 1t caught
The police and detectives worked
for two weeks on the case and were
unable to discover single clew as to
the identity of the murderer. They
had practically given up hope when
the coroner received letter contain
ing eight of the coins taken from
Platt's pockets. They were easily
identified by numismatists to whom
Plat had shown them.
The next day the police found suit
case taken from Platt's store. In it
were several pieces of clothing, all
worn and frayed. 1t Is believed that
the murderer took clothing from the
store, changed his old clothes and put
his garments In the suit case, which
he cast into a vacant lot
A few days later an afternoon pa
per in Topeka received package con-
tanning eight coins taken from Plat.
On the envelope was pasted the head
ing of the papes. Thsre was no hand
writing. The mail clerk remembered
getting the letter from box at Eighth
street and Kansas avenue, the most
prominent corner In the entire city.
This did not help in clearing the mys.
terry. Next a morning paper received
letter containing four coins. That
letter had been mailed in the same
box. 1t was addressed with the head
ing from the paper and no handwrit-
ing appeared.

President of Mexico Will Aceede to
the Demands Of Leader of
the lnsurrection.

the Instruction.
Mexico City.-General Porfiro Diaz
issued manifesto to the people of
Mexico Sunday night, declaring his
intention to resign the presidency as
soon as peace is restored In this
manner the president has virtually
acceded to the demands of Francisco
l. Madero that he make announce
ment of such intention.
AS to when peace rs actually re-
stored, General Diaz reserves the
right to be the judge. In the words
of the manifesto, it will be when, ac-
cording to the dictates of my con-
science, am sure that my resigna-
ton will not be followed by anarchy"
The president said his determine
ton not to relinquish the presidency
at this time was not due to vanity or
to love of power, because, as he
pointed out, power at this time had no
attraction, accompanied as it is by
tremendous responsibilities and
worry. He said he was prompted
solely by a desire to conserve the
best interests of his country
The president made it clear he does
not propose to abandon the presi
dency while AIS country is at war and
that he would not do so at any time
under compulsion.
Only in a general way does the
manifesto refer to the revolution.
The governments position is that
General DiaZ could not have made a
public statement at an earlier mo-
emnt and it is indicated that the revo-
lutionists failed to observe the amen
tiles Of the peace negotiations by max
ing them public,
1t is stated officially that Madero
and his advisers were guilty of be-
raging an agreement by injecting into
the conference, either secretly or
openly, the qeustion of the presidents
resignation. 1t was declared that it
had been agreed in conference that
this point should not be permitted 10
become an issue.
Proffering the declaration of his
willingness to detire, the president
discussed the political condition of
the country and the efforts that have
been made by the government to es-
tablish peace. He called attention to
the progress already made in the d.
rection of adopting the anti-re-elec-
ton law, and declared that the pro-
ject of the reform of the electoral
laws and of the judiciary were being
studied. He showed further that the
government in all its acts wished to
conform to the demand of the people
insofar as it is wise and for the best
interests of the country.
