There | was cne detachment of the Eleventh nfantry, and a detachment of Zapa- dores, one of the crack regiments of | the country. Hoth were under com- | mand of General Victoriano Huerta, an | old and warm personal friend of Gen- | eral Diaz. Defended Him from Rebel Attack. It was not such a display as would be arranged for inspection. Some of | the men wore sandals, some shoes and mone would have gained .praise for neatness. They were all men who had | done fighting. They were the same men who defended the life of the ex- resident and his family when rebels attncked the speeiul train coming to Vera Cruz._Four of their number were kilied in that affair near the little viliage of Tepevahuaico. Men Wished to Say Good-Bye. ral Diaz learned this morning Cen that men wished to say good-bye. | Thére hvas some formality, but this | feature was lost sizht of later in view | of ihe iniimacy of farewell. The men | stopped. facing the veranda of the | barn-like wooden house, which is sit- uated down in the terminal vard Back of them stood a row of frelght cars. Neisy engines puffed about and #hips tied up at the wharves served as s reminder of vhy the ex-president was here. On the veranda a small detachment of the presidential guards was lined up.

Por- firio Diaz, Jr.. was not present, Like the women members of the party, in- cluding Senora Diaz, he chose to re- main in ais room.

When General Diuaz stepped forward m h anda there was a_buzz of terest, but no applause. The mo- $ent too solemn for am expres- that character and even the of peoms massed behind soid ropressed their feelings &ntil the speechmaking ‘and embracing were concluded. Even then their ap- Piause was brief. No Sign of Recent lliness. Genaral Diez his face showing no giso of his recent jliness, was dressed n an ordinary sack of black. He garried in hie hand a Panama hat. The ®ulv tauch of color about his attire was a lavender necktie. General Huerta’s Addre the name of the army General §eierta addressed him. Standing not ore than two paces in front of s old Jhief, the soldler told him that he $outd alwavs count on them, “notwith- Ytanding what evervone said.” General Huertas’ voice hrokx as ne added, with jerhaps more frankness than tact: “It ‘he only portion of the eountry that @d not go against you.” One Cause for Gratification. We declared th he and his men ¥nd the army in general were sorry to gee Gameral Diaz leave Mexico, but that there was also reason for grati- $cation. inazmuch as foreigners would be ziven an opportunity to know the tran who hdd made his country fa- mou Diaz Overcome by Emotion. Through all of General Huerta's talk Diaz stood iike a Soldiar on parade, with eyes front and pever a twich of the muscles. Bravely he began his reply, but hefore many minutes he was having great difienity In mastering emotion. Is Grateful to the Army.

Tears Courss Down His Face. By now the tears were slowly roll- fng down the old man's face and his Yoloe wase broken. PBut, like a father talking to his children, he continued, assuring them that he gave his word of homor that should his country at any time become Involved in trouble be would be willing to return, Weuld Know Hew to Conquer as in Times Past. Pointing to the colors of Mexico, the general added: “1 would then place | myself at the head of the country's | Joval forces and under the shadow of that flag I would know how to con- quer a5 Tn times past.

THE MANUFACTURES OF CONNECTICUT Census Bureau’s Preliminary Sum- mary Concerning the State for 1909, ‘Washington, D. C., May 31.—A pre- liminary statement of the general re- sults of the Thirteenth United States census of manufactures of the state of Connecticut was issued today by Act- ing Census Director Falkner. It in- ciudes a summary comparing the fig- ures for 1904 and 1909, by state totals, prepared under the direction of Will- iam M. Steuart, chiet/ statistician for marufactrers, bureau cf the census. These figures are subject to such. re- vision as may be necessary after a further cxamination of the original reports, rteenth census, like that of 1904, giffers from the Twelfth census in 1900, with reference to manufac- tures, in that the two later censuses excluded the hand and the building trades and the neighborhood industries 2nd took account only of establish- ments conducted under the factory sys- tem. In the last census, also, as in that for 1904, statistics were not col- lected for factories having products for the census vear of a value less than $500, except that reports were taken for establishments idle during a_portion of the vear 1909, or which began operation in that year, and whose products, therefore, were less than $500, The word “establishment,” as used in the Thirteenth census, is defined as meaning one or more factories, mills, or plants owned, controlled or operated by a person, partnership, corporation or other owner, located in the same ¥ towen or city, and .for which one set of books of account is kept. The reports were taken for the cal- endar year ending December 31, 1903, wherever the system eof bookkeeping permitted figures for that period to be secured, but in case the fiscal year of an establishment differed from the calendar year a report of its opera- tions was obtained for the fiscal period falling most largely within 1909, The Rates of Increase. The summary for the state shows increases in all the items at the census of 1309, as compared with that for 1904. These are exhibited, in percent- age order, as follows: Number of salaried officials and clerks, 45 per cent.; capital, 39 per cen primary horsepower, 35 per cent.; cost of materials used, 34 per cent} value of produets, 33 per cent; value added by menufacture, 31 per cent.; salaries and wages, 25 per cent.; number of establishments 22 per cent. average number of wage earners ploycd during the year, 16 per cent., and miscellareous expenses, 14 per cent, There were 4,251 manufacturing es- tablishments in 1309 and 3,477 in 1904 —an increase of 774, or 22 Der cent. The capital invested, as reported in 1909, was §315,347,000, 2 gain of $144,- 263,600, or 39 per cent., over $373.284,- 000 in 1904. The average capital per estiablishment was approximately §12. 000 in 1909 and $107,000 in 1904. In this connection it should be stated that in the census schedule the inquiry concerning capital invested calis for the total amount both owned and bor- rowed and invested in the busine: but does not include the valiie of rent ed property, plant or equipment which was employed in the conduct of manu- facturing enterprises. In the final bul- letins and reports there will be a sep- arate stazement of the rental paid for such property. The cost of materials used was 259,000 i 1909, as against $19: 06 in 1904; an increase of $65,- 09, or 34 per cent. The average cost of materials per establishment wag approximately 361060 in 1909 and $55,000 in 1904. In addition to the component materials which enter into the products of the establishment for the census year there are included fuel, rent of power and heat, and mill sup- plies. The cost of materials, however, Goes not include and supplies bought either for specsia- n or for vse during a subsequent period. Value of Preducts, The value of products was $490,272,- 000 in 1909 and $369,082,000 in 1904, an increase of $121,180,000. or 33 per cent. The average per establishment was ap- proximately §115,000 in 1909 and $106,- 000 in 1904. The value of products represents the product ds actually turned out by the factories during the census year and does not mecessarily have any relation to the amount of sales for that year. The values under this head also in- clude the amount received for work done on materials furnished by others. Value Added by Manufacture. The value added by banufacture was $233,013,000 in 1909 and $177,780,000 in 1904, an increase of $55,233,000, or 31 per cent. The value added by manu- facture formed 48 per cent. of the total vaive of products in 1909 and in 1904, It Tepresents the difference between the cost of materials used and the value of products after the manufacturing pro- cesses have been expended upon them. The miscellaneous lexpenses amount- ed to 336,889,000 in 1909 and $32,325,000 in 1804, an increase of $4,564,000, or 11 per cent. The average miscellaneous expense per establishment was approx- imately $9,000 in 1909 and in 1904. Tt includes rent of factory or works, taxes, and amount paid for contract work, and these items, as well as such unused ' material | ~|s Abandoned pnouo;rzns UNLbAD AT A VERY MODERATE ADVANCE. + IN FEAR OF PROSECUTION Activity of Government Anlinn_“h jal Combinations Having Its Effect— May Wheat Sold at $1.04 3-4, Chicago, May 31.—There was a pic- turesque finish today of the allesed corner in May wheat, but the scene was- not of the sort that was expected. Instead of hundreds of excitzd brokers shrieking at each other in the trading Dit on ‘change, the' close was of such a different kind that some of the trad- ers sat down comfortably on the steps and whiled away time laughing and joking. Rise of Only 1 3-4 Cents. Instead of shorts being squeezed without mercy, the final price for May delivery was $1.04 3-4, a rise of only 1 3-4 cents, compared with the figures at the close of the previous day's trad- ing. Enough Unloaded to Supply Demand. What kept the market from soaring was_the fact that representatives of the interests behind the so-called cor- ner let go of enough wheat to supply all demands at 2 very moderate ad- vance. Cornerers Were Scared Off. Recent activity by the government in prosecuting illegal combinations of all kinds, and the action of the board of trades’ alrectors in appeinting a committes to investigate all jrregulasi- ties in the trade here, were credited with being the principal reagon why the men supposed to be controlling the market wers willing to relent and show that even in the wheat pit there is such a thing as the “rule of reasen” and mercy. This at least was the pre- vailing view. - A few dealers, however, declared that the conditions which kept the price down were natural ones and that the holders of 'the wheat were simply iving way to a shrewd desire to un- load.

He declared that Plombino and not he did the shooting. The four boys so held told the police a story which has not been squalled, they say, since the days of Jesse Pomeroy, th boy_murderer of Massachusetts. The bovs told of dashing water on the face of the dead lad to revive him. When he lav still, they said, they knelt down and preyed beside the body After persistent questioning by the police Carmine Plemonbino admitted, they say, that he himself shot and Kill- ed the Maile boy.
