'DIAz DIES IN PARIS
FORMER DICTATOR OF MEXICO
DEAD AT AGE or ElGHTY-FIvE
FAMILY AT BEDSIDE.
ExILED FROM NATIVE LAND
Ex-President Ruled Republic for Thir-
ty-FNe Years-Fought Against the
United SATISFIED During Madero
Revolution.

Paris, July 5.-Gen. Porfrio Diaz,
former president of Mexico, died here
on Friday. General Diaz's wife. Sonora
Carmen Romero Rubio Diaz, and their
son, Porfirio Diaz, Jr., and the iatter's
wife, were at the bedside.
About three weeks ago General
Diaz began to fail rapidly and while
his death was not unexpected, owing
to his advanced age and recent fail
ing health, the crisis came suddenly
Friday afternoon. Colonel Diaz, Jr..
in announcing the death of his father,
said that he was unable to state the
nature of malady, but expressed the
opinion that the cause was compilca-
ton of diseases, due to advanced age.
Porfirio Diaz was Mexico when
there was Mexico. When on May
81, 1911, he fed the western heml-
sphere in the face of Francisco !.
Madero's rising revolution. Mexico
started on the wild orgy of dlsln-
tegration that now is spending it
self in anarchy. Loosed from the
iron hand, the nation blew up.
Before Theodore Roosevelt was born
Diaz was an apostle of the Big STICK
and its effective accompaniment or
the soft voice. For 35 years he ruled
Mexico, all of that time, with the ex-
ception of four years. as its president.
Under his dominance the country was
an inviting spot for American capital,
an invasion which he encouraged with
the wisdom of statesman and true
economist.
His military career, however, had
begun when he took up arms against
the United States Diaz was born at
Oaxaca September 10. 1880. His
mother was an Indian and his father
was of old Spanish lineage. The IA
Their died when Porfirio was three
years old, and he was educated at the
expense of the bishop of Oaxaca- He
intended to become a priest. but
when the war with the United States
broke out he enlisted. at the age OF
sixteen.
At time when defeat meant death
young Diaz cast his lot with Juarez
in the revolution which in 1854
brought about the downfall of Santa
Ana, the onelegged dictator.
His study of military science stood
him well, and his campaigns were a
succession of victories until, in 1875,
he marched into the City of Mexico
at the head of $4,000 men and was
elected president of the republic al
most unanimously.
Assuming the presidency again in
1884. he remained in Office until his
resignation in 1911.

The mysterious German word gu
ger recently produced trouble in a
family residing in Coethen. says a
Hamburg dispatch. A son serving in
the German army wrote his parents
that he was returning home on leave
of absence. He added that he would
stop over in Brussels and asked for
money to enable him to return to Ger
many. A few days later the family
received telegram: Send 100 marks
to Victoria hotel Zugel. The par
ents hesitated to send the money, as
this was not their name. They made
inquiries at the office OF military off,
Gals. The answer came: "Zugel no

the money. Zugel is an abreviation

BOUGHT WINDOW DISPLAY

An interesting story is being told
in Washington about Mr.. John r. Nc
Lean. Mr.. Mclean is very fond Of
taking walks downtown in the bust
ness district, disdaining the use Of
any automobile or carriage, as rule,
when he wishes to go from one place
to another, or to take. the air in a
saunter along the crowded thorough
fares. The other day he was strolling
down F street and happened to see
in a photographers display window
q complete collection of photographs
OF all the prominent persons who have
been identified with the controversy
between the Riggs National bank and
officials of the treasury department
A fancy struck Mr. Mclean to have
the collection, and he marched him
self into the photographers and
bought the collection outright, hav-
ing it sent home, and thus breaking
up one of the most interesting win
dow displays on F street.

SUPERSTITION OF MR.. MORTON

Levi P. Morton, vice-president I'M
der the second President Harrison,
who has just celebrated his ninety
first birthday, has successfully wealth
cred superstition, over which he is
congratulating himself as much as over
the fact that he is well on the way to
full century of life. When eighty
nine years old he wanted to live in
a new house in Washington, which he
had determined upon as his winter
residence, giving up New York city,
where he had lived. He also wished
to have the house on the site of the
one he had occupied while viee-presi-
dent and which he owned. He was
aware, however, of the superstition
that when a man pulls down an old
home of his and displaces it with a
new house he is likely to die in 1t in
the course Of the first year of his oc-
cupation OF it. Nevertheless he was
determined to have the new house,
and to get around the superstition

HEIR TO GREEK THRONE

Should death be the result of the
illness of King Constantine of Greece,
it will bring to the throne one Of the
most soldierly young princes of Eu-
ropes young royalty. Crewn Prince
George, the oldest son of King Con-
stantine and Queen Sophia, saw serv-
fee in the two Balkan wars and gained
a reputation for bravery and valorous
performance. He was wounded in
action at Janina. Until the present
war he enjoyed che distinction of be-
ing the only heir 20 European throne
who bore the scars of battle. He is
twenty-five years old.
Reports conflict as to the stand
Prince George takes concerning the
great European war now going on. One
has it that the heir apparent has been
identified with the war party and is
an intimate friend of ex-Premier
Eleutherios Venizelos, who resigned
recently as head Of the Greek cabinet
because the king was not in sympathy
with the allies. This report also car

LEADER OF WOMAN LABORERS

Once there was an eager little
German girl, of whom, perhaps, you
could find traces in the brave, fcrceful
face Of Emma Steghagen, labor lead
er, delegate to the recent convention
OF the National Women's Trade Union
league at New York. You might find
suggestion of the thin, emotional
child in the figure, bowed by factory
labor, yet energetic with the spirit OF
protest.
This little girl lived before woman
suffrage had become a national issue.
before the serious magazines were pro-
oucing special suffrage issues, even
before the cartoons were exploiting
the "sufragette'-yet in her own mind
she had evolved the theory that
women had right to suffrage and to
labor organization. She was only
fourteen when the time came for her
to stop school and go to work in the
factory.
Il was miserable at the time.

two unexpected changes were made in the

One of these Was. the decision of the
association to permit outsiders TO COM

departure was To have the teams in the
organizatio to hold home and home dual
meets instead of one dual meet for each
team against each other team as here

Last year a number OF colleges asked
permission to enter men in the Individual
titular events. as they could not get a
strong enough team together 10 join the
association and participate in the regular
meets. Under the rule adopted yesterday.
however. any college may enter men in
the individual competitions. but the col
lege must enter three men for a period
OF two years and must pay an entry fee

beTs of the association, were represe nted
but no schedule was drawn up. The man
ayers OF the various teams were allowed
until December l to make their schedules.
and if they cannot have them out by that
time the Advisory Board will make the
schedules for all. Power was given the
Advisory Board to revise the rules.
