DIAz TO enter
CONTEST FOR
MEXICAN Chief
TELLS OF HIS CANDIDACY
For President Of Stricken
Republic

London, England, August 30-"l
am now definitely candidate for the
office of president of Mexico" Gen
eral Felix Diaz, who recently arrived
from Canada, told the Associated
Press today. "My friends in Mexico
are working in my behalf" continued
General Diaz.
Unfortunately at this distance, 1,
myself, am unable to do much but
am awaiting instructions which
may simplify matters.
Even if | am ordered to proceed
to Japan it is not certain that | shall
go there My action will depend
upon developments in Mexico"
General Felix Diaz apparently in
pleased with the course of events in
Mexico. He said the contention that
Victoriano Huerta's candidacy foc
the presidency was barred by the
Mexican constitution was quite COR
rect.
He declared the fact that he was
still an official representative of the
Mexican government debarred him
from discussing President Wilson 5
message or the Mexican replies.

Will PRODUCE
THAW IN COURT
NEXT TUESDAY
HIS LAWYERS WERE MAPPING
When Counsel for State Made
Coup

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 80. -
Herry K. Thaw, Matteawan fugitive
will be produced in court here aga.n
on Tuesday morning next on a writ CT
habeas corpus obtained today in be-
half of Chief of Police Boudreau, of
Coaticook, who arrested him after his
flight from New York state.
Superior Judge Hutchinson granted
the writ on the application of Samuel
Jacobs, chief of counsel for the New
York state interests. 1t was an
eleventh hour move, taken to defeat
Thaw's lawyers, who have succeeded
in keeping him in Jail, safe from the
immigration authorities.
Those of the Thaw lawyers who,
were in town, Chas. D. White and Hae
ry Faser, bitterly opposed the appll-
cation, but Judge Hutchinson said ha
would thresh the matter out in open
court at 10 a. m. Tuesday
Thaw was ignorant of today's de-
velopments. His lawyers even did net !.
learn of it until report of the com
templated move sent out last night
was telegraphed back from Montreal.
His chief lawyer, r. N. Greenshielis
Immediately chartered special train
at Montreal in the hope of checking
the proceedings. The writ had been
issued, however, before his arrival.
Boudreau asked for the writ on the
ground that, as the original captor OF
Thaw, he might be liable to damages
should Thaw's arrest prove illegal
w. t. Jerome, New York states spec
ial representative, who worked out this
latest attack, was jubilant. He hopes
that the writ will be sustained and
that ON Tuesday Thaw will be in the
hands Of the department of immigra-
tion for deportation to Vermont. .

EXPLOSION OF
Boiler KILLED
EIGHT OF CREW
FATAL ACCIDENT ON STEAMER
Ohio River Boat Blown to
Fragments

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 30.-Captain
Thomas Flaherty, Pilot Harry Don
aldson and six of the crew of the tow
boat Alice were killed this morning
and six other river men were injured
when the boilers of the Alice ex-
ploded.
Some of the bodies were recovered
and the injured brought to hospital
by the steamer Harriet, which hap
pened to be near the scene of the ac-
cident in the Ohio river at Dam No.
2, at Coraopolis, Pa.
Many of the crew were rivermen on
the type whose names are seldom
known to their companions or the Off
GERS of the boat, and for that reason
it was feared some difficulty would
be experienced in securing a complete
list of the dead.
The Alice, a towboat, belonging TO
a sand company of Pittsburg, was
towing a fleet of barges and was with
in a thousand feet of thed ock when
the boilers let go.

AMERICANS QUIT
MEXICO CAPITAL
in dire ALARM
MANY AMERICANS THERE
Many Armed to Resist the
GredSefS

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 30.-F. B. Cook.
an American newspaper man, who has
just arrived here from Mexico, saws
Americans are leaving Huerta's do
minion as rapidly os possible. Verv
few Americans, according to Mr..
Cook, have decided to stay and brave
out the situation. Those who hav,
based their action on the close prox-
unity of Uncle Sans troops who are
massing along the border.
MIR. Cook say that peculiar thing
he noticed, was that the American
women were nat as anxious to leave
Mexico, as were their husbands and
fathers. The lure of the climate
seems to have proven stronger than
the fear of being murdered. The
Mexican climate, he says, is the most
wonderful in the world, and coupled
with the romantic people has rasci-
nation hard to resist.
The great danger to American
racidaptc of MeyicO is NOT for those in
the large cities so much as in the ru-
raj districts" said Mr.. Cook.
