Belief That He Is Ready to Ad-
NIT That Concern Other than
Interborough Can Operate
New System.

Indications that he was coming 10 feei
that no agreement on a subway PROPOSE
ton could be reached between the rep
resentatives Of the city and the Inter
borough Rapid Transit were contained
in some remarks on the situation made
last night by President Shonts of that
corporation. He said practically that he
did not purpose to modify his offer until
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
had placed its amended offer, including
the triborOugh system. in formal shape.
In the mean time the Brooklyn RAPID
Transit has completed negotiations Tor
financing the operations II has offered TO
undertake representative Of the com
panv said Yesterday that II its offer were
accepted II would be able 10 put INTO
effective operation the Fourth avenue

pletion. more quickly than the Inter
borough. ard that II could accommodate
a least one hundred thousand more resi-
dents Of Brooklyn than could the Inter
borough. in connection with the present
network Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines
in South Brooklyn.
Persons who have talked with Mayor
Gaynor recently are Of the opinion that
he Is not now so strongly Of the opinion
that the Interborough is the only COM
panv that can solve the transit problem

In view of the opinion expressed by
Borough President McAneny on Monday
night that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
offered an attractive proposition in case
the Interborough should not bid quick

by him Yesterday was significant:
There has been no appearance Of minor

except In few matters Of detail The
conferrees have been practically unsni-

fications to he pressed upon the Inter-
borough company and as to the treat

When President Shonts was asked to
comment on the views Of President Nc
Aneny. as told in the newspapers yester-
day. he said II have not read the inter
view with Mr. McAneny So far as
know there is only one definite subway
offer before the authorities. and that Is

The polcyholders Of the E1uita BILE
Life Assurance Society will he greatly
surprised 10 learn that an attempt has
been planned to defeat at the meeting
nj the board Of directors tomorrow the
scheme Of j Pierpont Morgan the trus-
tees under the voting trust and the
State Insurance Department for the
naturalization Of the company in the in
terests of the policyholders. This was
to be accomplished by the snap election
Of W 4 Day first vice president TO the
presidency. TO fll the vacancy caused by
the death Of Paul Morton in January.
Mr. Day is said 70 be strongly opposed
70 the naturalization Of the company. and
has succeeded In winning over a clique
of the directors TO his views. which are
diametricaily opposed 10 the interests Of
tho policyholders. TO the published in
tentions Of NJ. Morgan and Of the trus-
tees. and also 10 the demands Of the
state Insurance Department.
When Mr.. Morgan sailed for Europe
on January 25 II was said by members
Of his firm that no successor 10 Mr.
Morton as president of the Equita BILE
would be chosen until the end Of the
year by which time the plans for the
naturalization of the company would be
completed. Soon after Mr. Morgan sailed.

4, Defiance Of Mr.. Morgan.

The project TO elect Mr.. Day to-r.or-
row is in defiance Of Mr.. Morgan 9
wishes and of those OF the trustees. the
object being to place Mr.. Morgan in the
presence of a fait accOmpli which 1t
would be difficult for him 10 undo. In
the first place. the stock control can
only gradually change the board Of di-
rectors. which has the power to choose
the president. and in the second. II Mr..
Morgan were to change the directors or
otherwise TO exercise his influence, TO
force naturalization through a change in
the presidency. the old cry which has
been raised against every owner OF the
stock. that wall Street was trying TO
get control of the great Equitable as
sets. might again be heard
Paul Morton. who at first strongly op-
posed naturalization. had become a con-
vert to the Idea several months before
MS death. and was al that time one OF
Its 1rmest friends. Had he lived there
was no doubt that he would continue as
president OF the company when the new
plans we're perfected. Mr. Day, how
ever. though appointed controller Of the
Equitable by Mr.. Morton. and for many
years one of his most intimate friends,
is understood 10 have disagreed with his
chief on this subject. and II is known
that the relations between them we're
strained for some time before the death
Of Mr.. Morton.
II was considered In insurance and
Wall Street circles that Mr.. Day was
the logical successor Of Mr.. Morton. ana
his election as president OF the Equitable
was confidently expected at the February
meeting Of the board of directors. When
the meeting passed without an election
il was remembered that there had been
runors. gradually gaining IN strength
that Mr. Day was opposed TO mutualza-
tion and this was followed by the an
ro,,rrement that the election would be
deferred until after the return or MT

Mexico. city April 1s.-Developments
to-day Justify the conservative assunp-
ton that the government and the revo-
lutionists are nearer 10 the attainment
of point where peace terms can BE-
agreed upon than At any other time since
an acute stage was reached In Mexicos
internal troubles decidedly optimistic
tone was assumed by Senior dc la Barra.
the Minister Of Foreign Relations. and
other members Of the government In dis
cussing the situation.
The principal note Of optimism vas
supplied by suggestion enianating from
Or Vasquez Gomez the agent OF the In
surgents in Washington. that an ar
n,istic, he declared pending the conclu-
sion Of peace negotiations.
The news of the evacuation Of AguA

report from the Mexican consul at Doug

was In the nature OF a flight. and that
the fatalities mong the federals In the
battle were few. were also highly satls-
factory 10 the administration.
Senior de Ia Barra received a rlessage
from DR. Gomez this morning. intinating
that the Maderists were in receptive
mood on the subject Of an armistice. and
that the views Of the government would
be accepta Bile. Seior de la Barra re-
piled this afternoon. after a conferences
with President Diaz and the other mem
hers of the Cabinet. that the government
had already manifested a disposition 10
do all IL could fairly and consistently 70
promote the cause Of peace. and that it
would interpose no objection 70 tenn
porary cessation Of hostilites. a reply
from Dr. Gomez is expected before MORN
ing.
Proposal Welcome 20 Both Sides.
II can hardly be doubted that an armis.
tice will be declared in view ot the fact
that both sides would welcome IT, The
inference drawn from the fact that the
proposition for a truce originated with
the Maderists is that they would not
have taken the initiative had they not
come 10 a decision 10 lay down their
arms on the terms already formulated by
the government
The belief here is that there has been
an abrupt recession of the Maderists
from the position that peace could not be
estab ablished without the resignation OF
President Diaz. This bears out the in
formation previously given 10 the Trib-
une correspondent that unofficial repre-
sentations had been made 70 Gomez. "a

Danville Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danville, In-Judge Kimbrough In
the circuit court handed down de-
cision In the case Of City Attorney
Jones. who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury Is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law Is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.
