Good Trusts and Bad Trusts
President Taft, who little more
than a year ago in special message
to congress, said under the supreme
court precedents there could be no

words good trusts" and bad trusts,

the petition is certified to him by the

REVOLUTION
ABOUT OVER
Rebellion Torn Mexico Is of the
Opinion That Peace Is Al
most an Assured Fact
GENERAL ARMISTICE
PROBABLY DECLARED
Negotiations Have Reached That
Stage Where Diaz Is to Resign
Within Two or Three Months,
and New Cabinet Named

JUAREZ, May16.-Peace, the fer
vent hope of rebellion-torn Mexico
tonight. is almost an ACCOMPLISHED
fact. Judge Carabajal announced that
barring unforeseen circumstances. a
general armistice will be declared
within "a hours. General Madero has
declared that mutually acceptable
propositions have at last oeen
reached and that peace is assured.
The formal signing of the peace
agreement will probably take place
within two days. President Diaz will
resign within two or three months at
any rate, when peace is restored.
The price of peace paid by the fed
eral government is three cabinet po-
sitions and fourteen governorships
The price paid by the Mexican people
is at least 1000 lives and untold suf-
fering to thousands of wounded and
the destruction of millions of dollars
worth of property and the probability
that starvation for many months will
haunt the inhabitants of possibly a
fourth of the republic.
Mexico's New Cabinet
The cabinet portfolios it is said,
will probably be filled as follows:
Minister of war; General Gonzales
Salaz.
Minister of Justice. vasquez Tagle.
Minister Gubernacion, DR.. F. V.
Gomez
DR.. Gomez will probably occupy
the office only obout four months.
when the present revolutionist party,
which will probably be known there-
after as the progressive party. will
nominate him for vice president as a
running mate to General Madero
the presidential candidate. These two
men were opposed to Diaz and Corral
on the anti-re- election ticket about
year ago and it was the controversy
that arose as to the legality of that
election WHICH precipitated the revo-
luton.
