 (By Alfred Henry Lewis)
 Fl Paso, Texas, May 16.-Madero, provisional presiden@, and Judge Car bajal continue to confer concerning that peace which comes not. These conferences have so far pointed to nothing, led nowhere Madero never fails to ask something which Diaz cannot grant, while Diaz, through Carbajal never fails to offer some- thing Madero will not accept, and both Madero and Carbajal say the "pow vow must end tomorrow
 That means nothing in a region where tomorrow has no meaning at all. The talks take place in Juarez. Madero never comes North sof the Rio Grande. It is said that the United States caused warrant some months ago-to be issued for Madero's arrest On some charge of

will be brought to Fulton and

The trial started at 10o'clock
this morning and lasted until

About twenty witnesses were
examined, principally upon the
instance of the defense, appar-

witnesses, and the latter reiter-

THE STATE HIGHWAY.
Central Route Chosen-lt's Up to
Audrain to Build To 1t.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. L.
The central route was tonight
selected by the State Board of
Agriculture as the official across |
State highway between st.
Louis and Kansas City, but
with Il proviso which does not
entirely close the contest. The
northern and southern routes
were also indorsed as cross
State highways.
As the two statements given
indicate the whole matter is
somewhat mixed up yet, and
the situation may be given as
| follows:
If the central route people
move right along and have their
roadway ready to be dedicated
about the middle of next Octo-
Der, with all promises due up
to that date fulfilled, it will be
officially dedicated as the
"cross-State highway" but If
i the southern or northern routes
20 ahead and have better fulfill
ed their promises by the same
date, then the one which has
made the best progress will re-
ceive official Endorsement at the
hands of Governor Hadley and
the State Board of Agriculture.
This leaves much for the .fu-
ture TO settle about the cross
State highway. The central
people, however, are exceeding
ly iubilant, as they consider the
victory won tonight, an exceed
ingly important one. They
say that the road will be built
beyond doubt, and that every
requirement will be fully met
in all particulars.
This is the old historic Boone's
Lick road from st. Louis to the
Missouri River, and after the
river is crossed the old Santa
Fe trail will be taken mp and
followed from Marshall almost
indentically to Independence,
from whence the remainder OF
the road is completed. APP.
proximately, the highway will
be 800 miles in length, and viii
cost 81, 800 Il mile. About 10C
= miles of this route has already
, been constructed.
Resolutions were adopted fix
ing the official names of the
three as follows: Central route
Cross State Highway" South
: ern route, Missouri Capito
State Road" northern route
North Missouri State High
, way"
. The board decided the cen
. trail route should cross the rive
: at Glasgow, but added a pro
= viso empowering the board t.
G rescind this order in favor o
Boonville, should the City o
4 Glasgow, in the opinion of tn,

any of its promises.
