TO HEAL THE SORE
SPOTS IN ILLINOIS

Chicago, Sept. 1s.-The present visit
of Charles E. Hughes to Illinois Is at
tracing far more attention in political
circles than the first visit of the Re-
publican presidential candidate here
several weeks ago. In the interim the
state primaries have been held. leav-
ing many sore spots in the Republican
ranks as a result of the victory of one
Of the rival factions and the defeat of
the other. Whether the visit of Mr..
Hughes will aid in restoring harmony
in the party, or whether the long
standing feud will be carried into the
November elections. Is the bis ques-
ton that is agitating the minds of the
political leaders, Democrats as we'll as
Republicans. The Hughes itinerary
has been arranged with a view to CIV
ing him an opportunity to meet the
leading men of all factions and in all
parts of the state. At noon today he is
scheduled to address the state conven-
ton at Peoria. Immediately after con-
Guiding his Peoria address he will take
special train to Springfield, where he
is to speak at the state fair this after
noon. Tomorrow and Thursday are to
be devoted to a tour of rear platform
speech making that will take him to
the extreme southern end of the state
and thence back to the Wisconsin line.

fifth anniversary of the death of James
A. Garfield. the twentieth president of
the United States and the second
president to die at the hands of an as
sassin. Many OF the older residents
of Washington recall how Charles Giu-
teau, a disappointed office-seeker. shot
Mr.. Garfield in the railroad station
here, on July 2. 1881, as the president
was about to leave the city to meet
friends at Williams college. With the
president at the time he was shot was
James @. Blaine. For 80 days the
wounded president lowered between
life and death, peacefully passing
away late on the evening of Sept. 10 at
Long Branch, N. j.. where he had
been taken shortly before. Vice Presi-
dent Chester A. Arthur succeeded Mr..
Garfield as president, taking the oath
Of office just S5 years ago today.

BIG CELEBRATION HELD BY
MEXICANS ON DIAZ DAY
Nogales, Sonora, Joins With the Rest Of Mexi-
co in Paying Honor to the Memory
Of Porfrio

had eliminated Diaz the folks in Mex
leo rather laid off celebrating his
birthday. 1t was not popular to dis
play flags and drink mescal and smoke
mirrihuanna and raise general enthu-
siastic hades on this particular occa-
sion. During that period, in the his
tory Of the tempestuous and impulsive
republic, between the downfall of the
Diaz regime and the death Of the
'fgrande presidente" the autumn
Fourth of July celebration was con-
fined to one day-the sixteenth of Sep
tember. the day on which the yoke Of
Spain was unloaded.
Now. however since Diaz is happily
dead his birthday is coming back. He
Is regaining his place of high esteem
in the affections OF the Mexican peo-
pie. This may be due In part at least
to the fact that he Is dead-that he
has passed forever beyond the possi-
bility of mixing any more, except as
memory, in Mexican politics. So
they have begun again to have two
days of Fourth of July in the fall in
stead of one which was q great hard
ship while it lasted.
Incidentally the indications are that
1t won't be long till Madero's birthday
will be turned into another Fourth
Of July. This is suggested by the con-
stantly increasing respect with which
his name is mentioned by Mexicans
when they speak of the dead Francisco.
1t is a pleasant habit they have, the
Mexicans. of killing man off and
then turning his birthday into Fourth
of July. At that they haven't got a
great deal on us in the United States.
Many Americans have noticed this
growing tendency on the part of our
selves to give a man-especially II he
Is in politics or literatur. or most
anything else-hell while he is alive
and then putting his picture in the
Hall of Fame" when he dies and stays
dead long enough for time to sort of
mellow his memory. 1t is a queer and
frivolous world. But I must not di-

CLOSING OF BANKS
AT MEXICO CITY
IN RETALIATION
Discussion at the New Lon
don Conference Devoted
to Banking Situation in
Country.

New London, Conn, Sept. 19.-The
Mexican members of the joint MeM-
American commission admitted to
the American representatives today
that the order leading to the closing of
the National bank and the Bank Of
London and Mexico in Mexico City
was in large measure retaliatory.
The order provided that banks must
show metallic reserve sufficient to
cover the issue OF bank notes, dollar
for dollar.
Today's discussion was confined al
most entirely to the banking situation.
The Mexicans explained that certain
banking houses. especially the two that
were closed, persistently embarrassed
the administration by reactionary tao
tics tending to cause the depreciation
Of Carranza currency.
ATTACK ON CHIHUAHUA.
Villas attack on Chihuahua City and
the repulse of his forces by General
Trevino will tend to clarity relations
between Mexico and the United States,
in the opinion of the Mexican dele
gates on the joint commission In ses-
sion here to formulate an acceptable
program for maintaining order along
the international boundary. The Gill
huahua battle figured prominently in
the discussions of the commission yes
terday.
The Mexican commissioners pointed
ont that If Villa had been located by
the action at Chihuahua, the task Of
running him down would be greatly
simplified. General Trevino they said,
now will pursue Villa relcntlessly. The
difficulty never had been to fight Villa,
they said, but to find him.
1t had been expected the discus
sions Monday would be directed toward
the internal affairs of Mexico. The
Mexican members brought sharply to
the front, however, the question Of bor-
der control and of the American troops
in Mexico. This was due to an Off
cial communication from their govern
men, In which they were asked why
they were discussing the internal af-
fairs of their country with the repre-
sentatives of another government, in
stead of confining their debates to
conditions on the border.
