DIAZ RESIGNS AS
RULER OF MEXIQ8
■' ■ ^ : I
Aged Presitieirt Foreed to Quit
by Rebels.
ORDER IN THE CAPITAL
Francisco Leon de la Barra, Former
"“Ambassador at Washington, Takes
the Oath of Office as Provisional
Governor of Republic.
Francisco Leon de la Barra, the
Mexican foreign minister and former
ambassador at ^Washln^ton, took
oath of office as provisional president
of the republic Friday.
He will act as the chief executive
in succession to Porflrio Diaz, who
resigned Thursday, until a general
election can be held.
Order prevailed throughout the cap
ital.
Senor de la Barra was escorted
from the national palace to the cham
ber of deputies,, where the oath of
office was administered by the mem
bers ol the staff of former President
Diaz.
The staff officials had resigned days
ago, but had asked permission to
escort the provisional president to the
scene of his inauguration. The new
chief executive was accompanied by
Gen. E. Rascon, who took the oath as
minister of war.
Most of the distinguished person
ages in the capital were present, in
cluding the diplomatic corps, in full
regalia, headed by the American am
bassador, Henry Lane Wilson, the
deai\ of the corps.
A large crowd gathered about the
chamber of deputies and cheered for
Senor de la Barra and General Ma-
dero while the oath was being admin
istered.
The Passing of Diaz.
The passing- of President Diaz was
one of the most dramatic incidents in
the recent history of Mexico. The
venerable ruler was ^ still confined to
his palace, which was hedged about
with strong guards of mounted police
and soldiers, while across the Zocalo
machine guns were masked, ready to
deal with any outbreak.
Popular excitement was at a high
pitch, but was held in check by the
patriotic appeals of Madero’s personal
representative, Senor Dominguez, for
the maintenance of order and the dig
nity of the cause. Crowds surged
about the chamber of deputies, await
ing the words of Diaz’ final action.
Inside the chamber there was an im
pressive scene, as President t>iaz’
letter, finally and completely relin-
Quishing the reins of power, was pre
sented and accepted, followed by the
presentation and acceptance of Vice-
President Corral’s resignation.
Immediately word was' carried to
the waiting crowds outside, which
broke into wild d^onstration of en
thusiasm. Here and there were scat
tered affrays, but the demonstration
^'as one of approval and rejoicing. De
a- Barra took up the reins of govern-
ittent in an open letter addressed to
' he Mexican people, acknowledging
IS election as provisional president
declaring his purpose not to be a
<^andidate for either president or vice-
president when a • general election
should be called.
The entire cabinet o-f President Diaz
0 owed the action of its chief in re
signing.
IN LIMELIGHT AGAIN.
Rope of Pearls Costing $100,000 Given
Parisian Dancer.
Galfys' D€«3ly’s in the limelight
again, and. this time the cause, is a
rope of pearls which makes her the
most envied woman in all Paris.
King Manuel’s infatuation for the
dancer was not as great as is that of
a wealthy Cuban named Unzue.
“If you care for me,” said Gabys,
“you will buy me that rope of pearls
at La Cloiche.”
Then did Unzue hasten to La
Cloche. The rope cost $100,000.
“Well,” said Gabys, “my king could
not afford to* pay that.”
‘ Then, chaperoned by her sister’, the
beauty consented to sup with ^e Cu
ban at Maxim’s. Gabys wears the
pearls in the day time. The rope
reaches from head to toes, a total
of - f-^tr 1 her
svelte figure and pc<meranian dog, she
is the cynosure of all eyes when she
appears on the boulevard. No such
present has been presented <(o a reign
ing beauty since Cardinal de Rohan
gave the historical necklace to Marie
Antchnette.

Coal Cars Plunge Through Burning
' Trestle on Seaboard.
A double-header coal train of the
Seaboard railway plunged through a
burning trestle two miles east of Bos
tic, N. C., kiling both engineers and
firemen and seriously injuring other
members of the train crew.
Fifteen of the twenty-nine steel coal
cars crashed through the fire-eaten
woodwork of the trestle into Watkins
creek, piling upon the two engines and
burying the helpless victims in a mass
of wreckage. The heavy train was
loaded with, coal from the Clinchfield
mines, destined for the coast, and was
picked up by the Seaboard at Bostie.
The engliieer of the foremost locomo^
tive did not discover the half-burned
trestle until too late to avert th« dis^

TO BUY ‘TAG” LINE.
Rumored That W. & A. Road May Not
Be Released.
A. F. Brady, Newman Erb and C. E.
James were in Chattanooga in confer
ence recently and from authentic
sources it is learned that they are
preparing to sell the Tennessee, Ala
bama & Georgia to the Louisville &
Nashville.
It is understood at Chattanooga that
the Louisville & Nashville merely rep
resents the JsTashville, Chattanooga &
St. Louis, and that they are actuated
in acquiring this line by the fact that
their lease on the Western & Atlantic
may not be renewed, becaiipe of pol
itics, it is said, and that hence they
wish another possible route into Atlan
ta. T^is will be gained by utilization
of the T. A. G. line, the Rome and
Northern and the Seaboard Air Line.
NEW DYNAMITE CASES.
Queen Makea of the Islaad of Rara-
Lot Angeles Affair Takes on Another
Phase, It Is Said.
The Times dynamiting plot took on
added Interest at Los Angeles as a re
sult of the arrest of F. J. Mansell
Parks, financial secretary of the local
Iron Workers* Union, and Burt H.
Connors, a structurid iron worker,
who are charged by- the police with
plotting to dynamite^ the new hall of
records, which, at a cost of $1,000,000,
is nearing completion. The case, ac
cording to the authorities, bears an
intimate relation to the case against
John J. imd James McNamara and
Ortie McManigal, who are charged
with being the principals in the de
struction of the Los Angeles Times
building, which cost 21 lives.
Parks wd Qonnors were arraigned.
and now it only remains for Governor
Gilchrist to sign the measure to
sound the death knell of the tease sys
tem in that state.
The bill was passed by the senate
‘only after a long and hard fight. Only
one change was made in the bill as it
passed the house, a^d this in no wise
affects the sense of the measure as it
was originally drafted.
When the bill came up for final dis
cussion a number of senators spoke
enthusiastically in favor of its pas
sage. There were a teyr speeches in
opposition to the measure.
The bill has been placed in the
hands of Governor Gilchrist, and it is
expected that he wilLtake some action
in regard to it within the next few
days. Speculation is rtfe as to wheth
er the governor will sign the measure,
although there are enough votes in
favor of the bill to carry it over- the
governor’s veto.
