ModerO issues Statement
Showing Concessions.
WILL HELP GARRY THEM OUT
Bulk of Insurrecto Army Leaves
Juarez For Casas Grandes to
Await Development of
Peace Plans.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 22.-Francisco
|. Madero, commander-in-chief of the
Mexican insurrectos, issued state
ment setting forth the concessions
granted the insurrecto army by Presi-
dent Diaz in their plan of settlement
recently agreed to.
This statement Is merely for the
benefit of the public. which UP to now
has had only the newspaper accounts
of negotiations for its satisfaction.
Madero shows the army that the
cause has won all that it started fight
ing for; that Diaz has agreed TO re-
sign; Corral has agreed to resign, and
that Mexico is to have a fair election
for the first time since Diaz got into
power. He also calls attention to the
fact that all insurrecto debts are to
be paid, even the |. o. us given by
the insurrectos when they seized
stocks of goods. They never gave
these to their old oppressor, Don
Luis Terrazas. All concessions are
summed up for the benefit of the in
surrectos, whom the provisional pres
ident wishes to thoroughly pacify.
He tells them that he has such as
surances that the agreement will be
carried out that there is little room
to descredit the faithfulness of the
federals, but besides he says he Is GO
ing to Mexico City on invitation OF the
federals to see that these things are
carried out.
Madero told good deal of this to
the insurreetos Saturday, when he de-
livered a farewell to the officers and
men in front of the Juarez monument,
on one side of which stands the burn
ed city hall and on the other the
burned library, both destroyed during
the assault on the town. But Sunday
it was put on paper. The insurrectos
had largely left, however, when 1t
came out, but 1t will be sent them at
Casas Grandes, where they are gather.
ing in camp to await developments.
They are told by their leader that
| If all goes well they will soon be SEN
| to their homes to return to the pur-
suits of peace, but if things do not 60
wen, CHlnudHud 10 neat " uc IhhSh,
| and then the ION to Mexico City" cry
can be taken up. He does not believe
this will be necessary. however.
Six hundred troops were sent south
| from Juarez to Casas Grandes. They
were carried in box cars and appeared
happy. The rebel troops remaining
behind to garrison the town gathered
| at the station and cheered them on
| their way. One carload of departing
men were former federal soldiers who
have now become faithful insurrectos.

| recto cause are now handling pick

MARCHING ON CAPITAL
Rival Rebel Leader In Mexico Defiss
Madero.

Md0ero.
Mexico City, May 22.-Fifteen thou
sand troops of General Ambrosco Fig
ueroa are today operating in an often
sive movement against Mexico City
in spite of the peace with Madero
and the city's danger is now greater
than ever.
Figueroa for provisional president
of Mexico, in place of Madero, seems
to be the next move In Mexico's tan
gled affairs.
Curnavaca must be captured before
Mexico City can be invested, and Fig
ueroa's force of well disciplined troops
are now preparing the attack on that
place, which cannot withstand them
long. Then the march on the city
itself will begin Immediately.
His intention is to follow this plan,
indicated by reports from the forces,
was confirmed by the arrival of a
messenger, who stated that he had
been directed to say that Figueroa
would attack Curnavaca without delay
and then march to Mexico City.
Claude Ash, an Englishman, arrived
in Mexico City from the rebel camp
with the positive statement that Fig
ueroa can place $4,000 men around
Mexico City within ten days. and in
tends to do So
AS further indication of blood
shed at Curnavaca the official Red
Cross started an expedition for that
place to care for the wounded in the
expected fighting.

However. there are several signifi-

Connie Mack would find place for

the probabilities are that before the
season is half over he will replace
Harry Davis.
AS hitter MeInnis measures up to
high standard. For his knowledge
of the game. his ability to fathom the
attack of the other fellow, to call the
turn on his play he stands with few
superiors in the American league.
Cannot one predict that this boy.

Bought Plant.

The Reliable Junk Company bought
the machinery of the Round Top Ce-
ment Co. and will canal it to Hagers-
town and sell it. The price was $500
and the cost of moving will be 500.
This was the old Bridges & Hender-
SON plant and cost many thousand to
install. They made cement by the
hydraulic process and 1t Is now out OF
date. The loss on the plant was great.

1t was known that the Virginia debt
commission had gone from Richmond
to Charleston to confer with Cover

here that any further steps had beea
taken on either side, so that the in.
formation that the correspondence

DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA.

The truth about Alaska is that It's
mineral wealth is trust Of the Gov
eminent for the whole people. The
extreme conservaticnist's idea OF such
trust is something 20 ioe rocked up
until an ideal plan is devised for its
use The MISREPRESENTATION idea is as
useless as the monopoly idea is mis-
chieyous. The one holds Alaska's
wealth away from the people indefi-
nitely The other throws it away now.
What is needed is a plan for the inn
mediate development and exploitation
uf Alaskas mineral wealth for the
benefit of the people-not the people
living in Alaska alone. not the people
who live on the Pacific coast alone but
the people of the whole country. 1t
must bee a plan that prevents capital
from monopolizing the coal deposits
for instance. as capital has succeeded
in monopolizing the anthracite depos-
it, n Pennsylvania. on the other
hand, unless the government itself UNI
dertakes the work. it must be plan
that offers fair rewards TO capital
otherwise capital will not enter Alaska
and mine coal.
The American plan is to enlist pri-
yate capital in railroad building and to
regulate the operation of the roads
built in such a way as to assure fair
rates and equal treatment 10 all. We
have been half century working out
that plan. and there is still much to
be done. But We have the principle
and the foundation. 1t will be an easy
matter. if Congress attacks the prob
lem on the right lines. TO secure the
building Of development railroads in
Alaska under such regulatory provi
sions as TO prevent the recurrence Of
such conditions as have permitted the
railroads to monopolize the anthracite
coal business.
Similarly the development Of coal
and copper mines which the building
Of railroads must precede. can be so
arranged as to conserve the peoples
rights and yet offer a profitable field
for investment.
