FELIX DIA|Iz!. TO
Be EXECUTED
PERHAPS
OUTSIDE OF his PROBABLE FATE
the new INSURRECTI0N At
VERA CRUZ WAS JUST A JOKE

Monterey, Mex, Oct 24.-As indi-
eating that Pascual Orozco, the Mexi-
can rebel chief, aimed to send at least
a part of his command to Tampico,
q report was circulated here today
that when a band Of insurrectos ap-
peared at a ranch near Juan Felipe,
they declared they were headed for
the Gulf coast. They said they were
part of Orozco's command. They
demanded horses, got 90 and gave re-
ceipts for them promising to pay for
the animals "at the end of the revolu-
ton" 1t is presumed the command
aimed to cooperate with the Diaz
forces captured yesterday at Vera
Cruz.
Vera Cruz, Oct. 24.--General Felix
Diaz, captured yesterday in the wreck
OF his rebellion, told his men that the
federal troops advancing on Vera Cruz
were coming to enlist under his flag
of insurrection. Therefore. when Ma

els gave way as they would to friends
They made no resistance and the fall
of the city before the loyal force was

explanation of the lack OF resistance
they showed, as given by the Diiz

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. PA let
ter from President Taft, explaining
his position on the tariff, was read be-
fore the American Hardware associa-

the association, follows in part:
Il am very glad to send a message
OF greeting to the members of the
American Hardware Manufacturers
association and the National Hardware
association on the occasion of their
annual joint onvention.
"One of the members of your asso-
citation wrote me the other day that
what this country needs most is in
dustrial peace. There can be no such
peace in the absence of national pros
perity, and | am glad to believe that
the members of your association are
doing their full share to welcome the
prosperity which is just at our doors
by maintaining our present economic
business basis and by the encourage
ment of business expansion and prog
less through legitimate use of capital.
Il am a fair believer in tariff
board, or tariff commission | do not
contend that the tariff can be taken
out of politics in the sense that it
would never be made the subject of
POLITICAL controversy. Men differ
radically as to the economic value of
a protective tariff, or a tariff for reve-
nue. only and that must always be the
subject of political discussion
Probably no industries affected by
the tariff need scientific and impartial
conclusions more than those which
are represented in your convention.
