GREAT ATHLETES SEEKII1GRECQRDS Richmond People to Have a Treat Saturday Conrad as Star Performer.

On the eve of the moat hotly contested track meet In the history of Indiana colleges 'Its a tone-up whether Wabash or Earlham will make away with the honors of the meet, which Is being watched by athletes all over the state and by the Ohio athletes in A. A. U. against whom Rarlham will contest at Dayton in the near future. There are so many factors to be considered that one cannot make any definite prediction as to the outcome. An upset In one or two events Is liable to radically change the position of the Quaker leaders, as did the collapse of Foster of Harvard, last year when that university's supremacy seemed assured.' Wabash will enter the field with a spirit of retaliation for her recent defeat In the state meet by Earlham. An analysis of the strength and weakness of the two teams would seem to give Karlham a shade the better of the fight for the reason the Quakers will stage their "three-man, all-star team" that practically won the state I. C. A. L. meet on the 20th. Condrad, Stanley and Brown should be certain winners of forty-six points. Wabash Is fortunate In being strong where Rarlham Is weak, and not having any outsiders to reduce her point total, it will simply be a dual meet between the first and second placo winners of the I. C. A. L. meet, with DePauw university not in the running to deprive Wabash of several much needed first and seconds. It was PePauw's failure to land more than two first places in the state meet that gave Wabash a high score, but the firsts and seconds of the former Institution will doubtless revert to Wabash. The Great Conrad. By far the most Important and spectacular work of tomorrow's meet will be done by Captain Roy M. Conrad of Earlham, who is, beyond a doubt, the. fastest sprinter in college athletics anywhere. No college athlete has so for this year been able to equal his record of 9 4-5 seconds for the century race, which Conrad has done twice in the present season. His defeat of Martin of Notre Dame, the recent winner of the Intercollegiate relay games at Philadelphia, has established his supremacy In both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. While the followers of college athletics In the east are watching Craig of the University of Michigan, run the century race in 10 seconds flat. In the I. C. A. A. A. meet, the crowd on Held field tomorrow will see Conrad dash across the tape In 9 4-5 seconds and thus again establish his wonderful record. This is Conrad's last appearance before an Rarlham audience, as the veteran runner receives a degree from the college in a few weeks. He stated to a Palladium reporter thia morning that. If the weather continues clement he would run the 100 yard dash In 9 4-5 seconds. This will be the first, and probably the last occasion on which such fast time has been made on the local track, previous records having been made abroad. In the 220 yard dash, the Rarlham captain stated that he would surely equal bis remarkable record of 22 2-5 seconds, while in the broad jump he will be expected to pass by three Inches the I. C. A. A. A. record of 22 feet, 74 Inches won by Roberts of Amherst, last spring. If the weather conditions continue favorable Conrad can be counted on for 11 feet, 2 Inches In the pole vault, pushing Starbuck, Wabash's all-around man, stronger than perhaps that athlete win stand. Stanley and Brown. 8tanley, the Rarlham weight man. who last Saturday broke the state record In the discus throw, hurling that missile 110 feet, 11 Inches, will easily win first place in the three weight events. . Stanley is also expected to make a new state record In the hammer-throw tomorrow, having last Saturday tied the old college and state record of 124 feet 104 Inches. Mc Arthur of Cornell, the fastest quarter-mller in the country, two weeks ago established a record of 49 2-5 seconds in the 440-yard event against Princeton. Brown, the Rarlham track manager was caught at the tape In the Miami meet on the same day In the same event at 50 3-5 seconds, thus establishing a college record, and a state record of the race had been run in Indiana. Manager Rrown la In rare condition and promises to cross the tape In faster time Saturday than he has ever done before. Earlham and state athletes are watching this race with expectancy. The hurdles are practically the only vents that Rarlham athletes will concede to the Wabash team. The pole vault is uncertain, as Is also the mile and half mile events, but Rarlham does not have a hurdler who can win first place In Indiana meets. The meet will be called at twe o'clock Saturday afternoon and thirteen events will be contested by four o'clock, when the Rarlham baseball team will occupy the field in a game with Butler college from Indianapolis. The officials of the meet have not yet been announced, but they are the best that can be procured in the state. .WHEELER TO SERVE , ON POSTAL BOARD (National News Association) Washington, May 26.

BLOOD MARKS ACCESSION AUD RETIREMENT

A Strange Irony of Fate in the Career of Ex-president Diaz of Mexico A Masterful Man to the End.

(National News Association) Mexico City, May 26. -The official announcement of the resignation of Pornrlo Diaz, as president of Mexico, not only marks bis political death, but through the strange irony of fate, colors the close of thirty years of virtual sovereignty with the same blood red tints that marked his accession to the "throne" of Mexico in 1877, when as a popular idol, clothed with the romance of brave deeds and bearing the standard of political purity, he marched into the same town where he now lies, burdened with years, beset with pain and surrounded by enemies, at the head of 12,000 yelling peons, and took possession of the place vacated by President Lerdo, whom he charged with practically the same misdeeds that have been his own undoing. Porflrlo Diaz le one of the strangest figures in modern history. His long life of hazardous activity unfolds a story that rivals that of the mediaeval heroes who have held the attention and won the admiration of countless generations by their Quixotic heroism. The son of a poor inn keeper of Oaxaca, an oprhan in 1833, when Bcarce three years of age, he rose by leaps and bounds, through all the various gradations of priest, lawyer, soldier, statesman and president, dragging down-trodden Mexico in his wake till at last he made himself one of the greatest figures In modern times and his nation one of the leading republic In the world. Abnormal Precocity. Early tales of Diaz credit him with a precocity abnormal even in a child surrounded by every advantage and but little in accord with one whose early life was spent among the Mexican peons, conceded to be the poorest race in the civilized world, yet there must have been a germ of truth amid the jumble of fiction, for at a tender age, he was Known to have accumulated an education far above his fellows by assiduous application to the books lent him by itinerant priests and when yet In Ms teens, was selected by the Holy Fathers to become one of their number. He studied for the clergy until a stirring presidential call set all Mexico afire against an Invasion by the United States. Young Diaz, his fiery nature grown weary of restraint, flung down his books and crucifix and walked over two hundred and fifty miles to Join the Mexican forces that were massing on the border against the Americans. After the close of the Mexican Invasion he returned once more to his native village, only to And that his action had forever cut him off from the priesthood, and that he must needs find some other vocation. He, however, was welcomed with open arms by a little coterie of students beaded by Benito Juarez, an illustrious Indian lawyer, who was then governor of the etate of Oaxaca. Joins a Revolution. His first chance of distinction came in 1854 when he joined a revolution against the tyrannies of President Santa Anna. Santa Anna attempted to quell the disturbance by calling a general election and forcing his reelection by a show of force. After his military were drawn up in the square, his envoys let it be known that all who failed to vote for him would be imprisoned. Diaz sought the voting booth, but when pressed to cast his ballot, craved leave to remain neutral. Taunts of cowardice were flung at.hlm by Santa Anna's officers and, at last wrought to a white heat pitch of passion, and surrounded on every side by his enemies, he strode boldly to the ballot box and cast his lot with the rebels. Instantly confusion reigned. Santa Anna's soldiers sought to lay hands upon him. He retreated, drew his sword, seized a horse and amid a hail of bullets, rode at full gallop though the federal forces to the rebel camp in the hills, where in the absence of his chief, he assumed com mand and successfully routed those who pursued to take him captive. Prom this time on Diaz's career was one continual round of adventure. Santa Anna was defeated and driven out of Mexico. The rebel chief succeeded him. Juarez was appointed minister of justice, Diaz captain of the National Guard. The new administra tlon sought to stamp out the rule of the priest and pulpit that had yearly yoked Mexico to poverty by its demands upon the people. The church Incited a rebellion. War raged through Mexico; a war In' which priests ap peared before charging troops; a war in which the curse of the church was thundered from thousands of altars and which steeped the fair land of Mexico in a sea of blood. Made a Governor. w-vs uiaz, now moe a governor or a state, and military commander of a district, with the rank of colonel, was besieged in Vera Cruz, and his command reduced to a handful by the re peated onslaughts of the ecclesiastics. till at last he made a spectacular escape from under the very noses of the Pope's hordes. With the triumph ant entry of the clericals Into the Mexican capital dark days began for Diaz and his band of followers. They were hunted like wolves In the moun tains and reduced to the last extrem lty. Then came the French Invasion, which for a time, ruled the country, banishing Diaz and his followers with a price on their heads, and marking its climax of pawer with-his capture in Oaxaca. Again he made good his escape and with the whole French army In hot pursuit, found his way to the mountain fastnesses, where he repudiated with scorn an offer to take command of the French army. About this time the close of the war of the rebellion left the United States free to uphold the Monroe doctrine. France was notified to withdraw her troops, the

order was obeyed and poor Archduke Maxlmillian was left to his sad fate. Hero of the Peons. Diaz, the hero of the peons, put himself at the head of a rebel army, defeated the federfl forces with terrible slaughter and entered Mexico City with his triumphant force. An election was held and Diaz took the field against Juarez, was defeated and retired to private life. His ardent spirit however, could not remain long at peace and soon be was again at the head of a band of rebels operating against his erstwhile friend. President Juarez. Juarez died and was succeeded by Senor Lerdo, who put the rebel leader to flight by concentrating a large army and moving steadily toward his strongholds. Diaz escaped to the United States, secreted himself aboard a boat bound for Vera Cruz, was discovered, made prisoner and on the eve of sailing plunged overboard. A vain search was made for him and the report was spread broadcast that he had been eaten by sharks. In the meantime the vessel continued on its way to Vera Cruz, with Diaz secreted tn a narrow closet, where he suffered agonies because of his cramped quarters. At Vera Cruz he bribed some boatmen to take him

ashore and so he turned up in the; very midst of Lerdo's country, with naught on his back but a ragged sailor's suit and naught in his hands but a sailor's dirk. Like Napoleon returning from Elba, the appearance of Diaz in the country of his birth was the signal for a great uprising. Joy crazed peons, remembering only his brave deeds during a decade of bloody strife, hailed him as their savior. From a ragged sailor's suit to the command of an army numbering thousands was the transition of a day. The Lerdo regime tottered as the news of his appearance became current, and winning victory after victory,-he march ed into the capital in 1877 at the head of 12,000 men, the flag of the republic proudly flying over a sea of flashing bayonets, to be elected president a few weeks later. This position he has held ever since with the exception of four years, 1880 to 1884, when General Gonzales was given the' office because Mexico's con stitution later amended forbade the re-election of a president. Ruled As a Despot. As president of Mexico, Diaz has laid himself open to the criticism of the world. For thirty years he ruled republic with oligarchic despotism. He has been called in one breath, the country's saviour and a tyrant; he has been loved at home and hated abroad; his policies have been lauded and derided, and he himself has been the object both of hero worship and the anathemas of the populace. Be yond a doubt both opinions are cor rect, to a certain extent, but only a Higher Power can strike the balance that will tell whether he was a hurt or a hindrance to his country. Certain it is however, that when Diaz took office he found a Herculean task con fronting him. He was head of a gov ernment split by political factions. governing a country whose credit had long ago been blasted by continued wars, and peopled by a race plunged Into the depths of ignorance, swayed by every superstitious rumor, and fanatically averse to the invasion of for eign capital that meant emancipation. From this chaos Diaz wrought or der. He held the turbulent masses still. He made revolution impossible. He organized a police system that Bwept away the bandits. He built schools. He punished corruption, and made it known that any concession granted by Mexico would never be repudiated. All this and more he ac complished for his war ridden coun try. But if Diaz has wrought wonders for Mexico, his methods of accomplishing the miracles have been those of a great general rather than a great statesman. His was the iron hand within the velvet glove and woe be tide him who sought to take away the prestige of the great general and popular hero of the people. Death or banishment awaited him. Although from time to time minor Insurrections against this great Cen tral American oligarchy were in evidence, all were successfuly dealt with till in the fall of last year, Senor Francisco I. Madero, Jr., of Northern Mexico, backed by the immense wealth of his family, commenced the revolution that has led to the downfall of Diaz. This movement, starting with a small uprising In the northern part of Mexico speedily developed till it seriously menaced the Diaz regime. Town after town was taken. Battle after battle was won. Southern Mexico revolted and at last with the fall of Juarez, Diaz's cabinet, foreseeing naught but defeat and further bloodshed staring them in the face, brought such pressure to bear upon the old and feeble ruler that he consented to his resignation with its promise of peace. SCHOOL CHILDREN IN TRIP TO FARM About three hundred children of the third grades In the Richmond public schools visited the - farm of Nathan Garwood, east of the city, yesterdayin order to witness the shearing of sheep. For 15 years past the childred of the third grade have witnessed a sheep shearing annually as a part of their study of the production and marketing of wool. Heretofore the children have Tisited the farm of Caleb Mattl. east of the city, but owing to Mr. Maui's death recently a change had to be made thia year. The school authorities express appreciation of the invitation of Mr. Garwood to have the children visit.his farm this year.

TRUST REGULATES - RATES Oil PAPER

President of Organization Admits This Before the Senate Committee. (National News Association) Washington, May 26. Under cross examination conducted by Senators Stone and Williams, Arthur C. Hastings, president of the American Paper and Publishing association admitted today before the senate finance committee at their hearing that this organization was formed for the purpose of fixing the price of print paper. Hastings denied the statement made by John Norris of the American Newspaper Publishers association and declared they were not according to facts. He was then questioned by the senators end said that he maintained an office tn New York and that his business was to obtain figures as to fine supply of print paper and keep members of his association informed as to supply and demand. In event the suppy was greater than the demand he said he advised a curtailment of production. He admitted that he did this for the purpose of maintaining a uniform price. "In other words," said Senator Williams, "your association regulates supply?" "No, it does not," replied Hastings, who went on to explain that manufac turers often did not follow his suggestions. A delegation of South Dakota farm ers was heard today in opposition to the reciprocity agreement. Baseball Results v National League. Won Lost Pet.
