DIAZ CABINET
HAS RESIGNED
ENTIRE OFFICIAL FAMILY GO OUT
IN A BODY
MOVE MADE FOR PEACE
Stated That Action Was Taken In Be-
half of Reform Plan—Resigning
Officials Have 8erv*d
Country Well
“I WANT TO GO HOME.”
Mexico City.—The Dias cabinet re-
signed In a body at a special meeting
Friday. The president deferred action
upon the resignations.
The reason given for the actlou In
an ofAcial announcement Is the be-
lief that It will contribute to the re-
establishment of peace and facilitate
the reforms which are In contempla-
tion.
Enrique C. Creel, minister of for-
eign relations, presented the resigna-
tions In behalf of all of the minister.
General Diaz thanked the retiring
members of their efficient and patriotic
co-operation In the past and announc-
ed he would postpone hla acceptance
or rejection until later.
The resignations included that of
Raman Corral, us minister of the de-
partment of cobernaclon, correspond-
ing to the department of the Interior
in the United States, but not as vice-
president.
Not one of the men who until today
formed President Diaz's cabinet la lesB
than 65 years old and several are much
older. With the exception of Enrique
C. Creel, minister of foreign affairs,
all have been members for many years
and thla alone has been one of the
grievances of the revolutionists, who
have Insisted that the chief executive
should Burround himself with represen-
tatives of the younger generation, men
more closely In touch with the ufTairs
of the people.
Following are those whose resigna-
tions were received:
Enrique C. Creel, minister of for-
eign affairs; Ramon Corrult minister
of Interior; Jose Yves Llmantour,
minister of Anance; Olegnr'o Molina,
minister of Fomento; Justo Sierra,
minister of education; Manuel Gonza-
les Coslo, minister of war and marine;
Leandro Fernandez, minister of public
wrrks and communications; JuBtlfio
Fernandez, minister of Justice.
Without exception these men have
contributed valuable services to their
country and to their president, but
the popular feeling against them has
been growing steadily since long be-
fore the beginning of the revolution.

everything possible to maintain the
friendly relations existing between
this country and Mexico. Any rup-

$80,000,000 FOR 8TATE COTTON
Total of 957,000 Bales Produced In
State in 1910.
Oklahoma City .-During the last
vear the cotton crop of Oklahoma
amounted to 957,000 bales, according
to the Anal government report re
ceived In Oklahoma City. Friday, this
is the number of bales that have been
marketed. It is estimated that 40,000
more bales will be reported by the end ,
of the season, about May 1. so that me
total crop will reach a million bales.
It Is said by cotton men that the av-
erage price paid for Oklahoma cottop
this yeur is $80 a bale. This wou.d
make the crop worth $80,000,000 to
the people of the state. This is more
than twice the value of the corn crop
during the same season, and four
times the value oi the wheat crop.
Corn produced In Oklahoma during
the past Benson was valued ut $30,-
000,000 and wheat nt $20,000,000.
The greatest value of the cotton crop
to the state, is In fact that nearly all
of It is exported, and tho money comes
Into the state in cash from outside
points. Thus the vulue of the crop in
money Is placed In circulation within
the state.
The crop lust season was the largest
ever produced by tho state. In 1009,
the crop was 550,000 bules, and the
year before that 100,000.

Three Quarters of A Million In Appro-
priations Turned Down
Oklahoma City.—Governor Cruce’s
veto waa applied Friday to seventeen
bills passed by the legislature at its
recent session, including appropria-
tion measures aggregating with In-
creases of salary and Blmilar items
three-quarters of a million.
Most of these were for new build-
ings at the various state institutions.
Twenty more bills were signed, includ-
ing several of importance.
Between the bills disapproved Fri-
day and those vetoed by the governor
during the session of the legislature,
appropriations of more than $1,000,000
have been eliminated, and many others
greatly reduced by the governor's
trank declarations to the friends of
the bills that he would veto them if
the amounta were not reduced.
On'.y one of the public building bills
passed by the legislature, that appro-
priating $125,000 for a new building for
the law school at the state university
at Norman, has been signed by the
trovernor. Pu'ldtng bills for the Agri-
culture and Mechanical college and the
orinal school at Alva are still pend-
ing.
The institutions affected by Friday’s
vetoes and the amounts involved are
as follows: Claremore Preparatory
school, $90,000; six district agricultural
schools, $55,000; Lawton Agricultural
school. $50,000; Tishomingo Agricul-
tural school, $50,000; Confederate
home at Ardmore, $11,000; Tahlequah
Normal school, $51,000; Durant Nor-
mal school, $20,000; Ada normal, $12,-
000; colored university, Langston,
$25,000; Tonkawa Preparatory school,
$25,000; mTItla barracks at Chandler,
$25,000; additional land for schools at
Broken Arrow and Goodwell, $6,400.
The two most important bills vetoed
outside of the appropriations were Miss
Kate Barnard's “public defender” bill
and the Thomas bill, giving the com-
mission of health control over tho
water supply of the state, which had
been vigorously opposed by all of the
'nrger clt'es. The veto of the public
defender bill hud been expected, end
was probably helped along by the ques-
tions raised ns to the regularity of the
pusag-e of that bill In the house.
