PORFlRIO DIAZ
DIES IN PARIS
Former Mexican Ruler Passes Away.
Long in the Saddle.

Long In the Saddle.
Paris, July 2.-Gen. Porfirio DiaZ,
former president of Mexico, died here
early tonight
Gen. Diaz's wife, Sonora Carmen
Romero Rubio Diaz, and their son
Poriirio Diaz, Jr., and the latter's wife
were by his side when the end came.
Gen. Diaz began to fail rapidly
about three weeks ago and while his
death was not unexpected, owing to
his advanced age and recent failing
health, the crisis came suddenly this
afternoon.
Portirio Diaz, Jr., and his wife were
hastily summoned and arrived at the
bedside only few moments before the
end, which came at I o'clock tonight
Col. Diaz, in announcing the death
Of his father, said that he was unable
to state the nature of the malady, but
expressed the opinion that a cOmpli-
cation Of diseases due to advanced
age was the cause
Two tragic circumstances marked
the death Of the cXilcd ruler Owing
to the troubled state in Mexico it has
been Judged impossible TO send the
body home with all that ceremony
which y ould have bcfttcd one Of the

thcr, poriirio Diaz. Jr., has tried in
vain TO inform his sisters, Sonora l&-
uacio dc la Tore and Sonora Ricon
Cailardo, now in Mexico, Of their
fathers death.
No less tragic, perhaps is the fact
that not one Of those whom Gen. DiaE

ing Mexico and who prospcrcd and
grew rich in The shadow Of his great
ness were with him when he died.

SEEKS DATA ON FERTILIZER.
South Carolina Congressman Urges
Trade Commission to Take up Price
Question.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-It has come
to the attention of Chairman Lever
of the house committee on agriculture
that the prices of nitrate of soda and
acid phosphate for the coming crop
year have been doubled practically
over prices for last year.
To the mind of Mr.. Lever the mat
ter is Of such serious importance to
the cotton growers of the South as to
warrant him in asking the trade COM
mission to make a thorough investi-
cation into the matter with a view Of
ascertaining if these increased prices
result from natural causes or from a
combination OF the sellers of these two
ingredients Of commercial fertilizers.
Mr.. Lever has the promise of William
j. Harris. the Southern member of
the commission. to look into the situa-
ton very promptly and thoroughly.

the Ancona affair and the threatening
