Of PEACE
ON MEXICAN BORDER
for an Armistice Appeared to Be
the Outgrowth of the Battle of Aqua Prieta
Terms Probably Agreed Upon--k is
Understood that Diaz Will Resign
Battle Impending at Juarez.

The City of Mexico. April ia
proposition for an armistice pending
negotiations for a settlement of Mex
ico's internal troubles was received
by the department of foreign relations
yesterday from Washington, presum-
ably from DR.. Vasquez Gomez. A re-
ply was returned in which it was in
dicated the government looked with
favor upon the suggestion.
The armistice proposal appeared to
be an outgrowth of the battle at Aqua
Prieta, and the loss Of life and bodily
injury in Douglas, by the fire from the
Mexican side. 1t points to the dan
gers of international complications
which might follow continuation of
the conflict.
Minister De La Barra sent to Wash
ington the answer to the proposal made
by the agent of the revolutionists. In
it he stipulated minor terms to which
it is believed there will be no objec-
ton.
It may be assumed that before full
agreement is entered into every detail
of the proposal will be submitted to
Francisco l. Madero, Jr. So far have
negotiations now gone it is not ex-
pected Madero will longer oppose the
overtures his agents have made for
peace.
It is believed no time will be lost
either by the rebels or the govern
ment in concluding arrangements fol
the armistice, and that as soon there
after as possible the drafting Of terms
for permanent peace will be begun. Il
it conceded both sides realize the wal
is costing too much in money an(
lives.
1t will not be at all surprising IL the
armies in the north receive orders
within the next forty-eight hours Il
cease operations, or before the begin
ring of the threatened battle nea
Juarez.
Minister De La Barra was not a
liberty to disclose the conditions Of
which the armistice will be granted
The terms proposed are those mad
by the revolutionists. While it is nc
presumed the exact terms have bee
agreed to, tentative promises of
character calculated to satisfy tn
rebels have been made. Although the
lost the battle yesterday at Agu
Prieta, sympathizers here say the

OKLAHOMA JUDGE SAYS
SUNDAY LAWS A FARCE

Oklahoma City, April 19.-"Our Sun
day laws are miserable farce" de-
clared Judge Henry NJ. Furman of the
criminal court of appeals in reversing
the conviction of Tod Cheeves, who
was fined 81 and costs in the county
court of Stephens county for acting as
umpire at game on the Sabbath. The
Judge held that inasmuch as it was not
shown that any admission was charg-
ed to the game, the law had not been
violated.
"A man can gamble on Sunday and
be fined only ST." Judge Furman said.
The law should either be amended
or repealed"
Cheeves was convicted under law
which prohibits gaming or public
sports on Sunday.

MANUFACTURES OF
OKLAHOMA TOWNS
The Census Bureaus Tentative sum-
mary For 1909.

Washington, d. G., April 19.-Pre-
liminary statements of the general re-
suits of the census of manufactures in
the cities of Muskogee and Tulsa, for
the year 1909, we're issued today by
Census Director Durand. They were
prepared under the direction of Mr..
William NJ. Steuart, chief statistician
for manufacture, bureau of the CEN
sus.
Steam laundries are separately pre-
scented because the thirteenth census
was the first in which they were can
vassed, and, therefore, there are no
statistics for prior censuses with
which these totals can be compared.
The figures are tentative and sub
ieet to such revision as may be neces-
sary after a further examination of
the original reports.
The value of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year. and
does not necessarily have any rela-
tion to the amount OF sales for that
year The values under this head also
include the amount received for work
done on materials furnished by others.
