Dlai forced her huaband to flea the city at 4 clock in ihe morning; throurh th fear ttat he wculd be aaaasstnated. Pit eider t Din proteated at hla wlfVa aw.tlona and us.d every arrumeni poa slble, but finally waa overcome by hsr pleaa and ha and the family riea. ino Ocejnpo woman aald: "To hla family Diss alwaya aald that ha would never resign, end that he would not be driven to it, but would atay and fight It out and that If need be, die fighting, but ray miatreae argucu tilaht and day with him and told him that hia life waa worth more to her than to the ungrateful Mexlcana or to a country Inhabited by auch people. Bealgaation Waa Cleaned. "Hla reignallon had been made out for mora than a ironth by Die a' attor ney and on the afternoon of May 28, about I o'clock, Mra. Plaa brought the paper to Diat who waa aeited In the library of hla home on Old Cadena striet with hla head burl A In hla handa and the teara wurMnc down his cheeks "No, ro. I will .not algn that,' he declared. Then madame urged In a low voice, caresslnc him aoothlngly, ana finally took hla hand. In which aha placed a pen and started to guide it over the paper at the bottom or me resigna tion. Plaa jerked hla hand away and springing to his feet, hla eyes biasing, tried 'I will not sign this. I will stay here In my country and care for It' Wife Qulded the ran. "Madams Dlaa soothed him and then rang the bell. I answered before any other of tha servants got there. His wife !ed the old man. trembling with mixed anger, grief and regret, back to his chair, took his right hand with the pen and guided It aa he re-wrote the en tlra signature. I stood watching and listening. When It was signed Madame reached for it with one hand and with the other rang bell for a messenger the knew that at the moment the chamber of deputies was In session, that thera was a terrible turmoil about her husband's resignation. "Dlaa thrust the paper In his pocket and refused to hand It over to his wife and brusned her aside. The original resignation made up by the lawyer fell to the floor and It waa afterwarda burned up and never used. Womaa Zlnallj won. There were tears on the beautiful! face of tha madams as she begged Dial to give her his resignation or at least send It at one so as to avert masaacrts and riots. She argued for more than " 20 minutes and then Dias tore the crumpled paper from hla pocket, thrust it into her handa saying: 'There, do what you please with it.' lie threw himself on a couch sobbing as If hla heart would break. "Madame rung tha bell and called the military messenger and with him sent the resignation to the chamber of depu ties. "At 8:80 In the morning of May 36 the family left In two automobiles and secretly passed down the side streets. None cf the servants went to the depot except tha driver of the presidential automobile and on guard who sat with the chauffeur. "The president, his wife and daughter went one way to the depot, while Forforlo Dlaa Jr.. his wife and children went another and were Joined along the way t-y trnMn'obltes carrying friends, none of whom went further than the depot "Diss seemed completely broken with grief which was written all over hla face, whllo Mme. Diaz alone appeared contented. The son seemed glad to gjt out of the country where he bad been hated for being the son of his father, now without Influence. "The family believed that Dias would have stayed and fought out the battle against all. In all the time I worked In the family I never taw me old mini recede from a step onoo taken, and I have been entrusted with m.iny errands. both from madame and Dlaa himself, the errands which a woman alone could do. "All the servants loved Dlas and his wife and believed In him and are still burnlrg candles before the Phrine of Ouadaloupe, praying that he will return.' (Satan Bnrean of Tbe Joaraal.) Salem, Or., June 6. Eugene Ely, avia tor, made good In every respect In hla fllghta on the state fair grounds yea terday afternoon, and won unatinted applause from 2500 people on the grounds, but the deplorable Inadequacy of the car sen Ice to and from the meet stlrr.-d up a whirlwind of wrath not equalled In Salem for many months. A few caught the one small car running to the fair grounds, some were able to get automobiles or r!r. but the mass of spectators walked through the heat and dust the entire distance of over two j miles and hack. I Factionalism and local politics figured In bringing about the disagreeable con dition. On North Commercial street there la some paving under way. Be tween the car tracks concrete has been laid for over a week. On the outside of the tracks la laid two strtps of con crete. The Tortland Hallway. Light A Power company desired to take excur sion cars empty over 200 feet of this and to stand for any damage wnicn might result, but at a late hour the evening before Mayor Lachmund and the street committee of the council de cided finally to forbid the company per mission to cross the new paving with lta empty cars. Rollln K. Page, local manager of the Portland Railway. Light & Power com pany, would have assumed all risks oi damages and put the empty cans across the bit of concrete paving had he not found Sunday morning that someone had piled fresh materials on the track and pulled the paving machinery upon It. When he saw this added obstruction he would not remove it Mayor Lachmund said he refused per mission to the company to take care over the new pavement because he con aldered it would damage the concrete before It had time to harden suffi ciently. He aald the city engineer and members of the street committee of the council were with him In his refusal. It Is thought that, notwithstanding the absence of transportation facilities, the expenses of the event will be cov ered. At least 800 people saw the air ship from outside the enclosure. The first flight was In a race with a motorcycle. In flying against the wind the aviator kept about even with the mundane machines, but when flying with the breeze be would swoop past his opponents with a rapidity which made the race seem farcical. At 3:45 o'clock Ely headed southward from the fair grounds snd fulfilled his contract to sail around the dome of the state house. In this way hundreds who were unable to get transportation to the fair grounds were enabled to catch a glimpse of the great, bussing, bird like machine as it soared high above the city.

(Rtwelal DliMtrh to Tn Journal ) New York. June 6. Former Governor W. B. Hoggatt of Alaska gave his side of conditions In Alaska. The former governor denied that the Quggenhelms have any control of officers or any authorities. He also explained why District Attorney Boice and Sutherland lost their jobs. "The charges against Sutherland and Boyce did not grow out of the Haiey case." said Mr. Hoggatt. "They result ed from the assault committed by A. R. O'Brien, editor of the Juneau Record Miner, on E. C. Russell, editor of the Juneau Dispatch." The former governor said that the syndicate had not done anything In Alaska but try to build railroads. "They are as badly buffaloed a bunch you ever saw," he continued. "So far as asking favors is concerned In 'the i way of appointees or otherwise, they never turned to anybody that I ever heard of. They certainly never turned to me. "Alaska has been touted to death. Tou would think It had a corner, on everything that goes to make life worth living."
