 LIGHT LEAD.
The Race Was For the Saving of an
 Automobile.

Calexico. Cal, April With bullets flying about them. the managers of the Cudahy ranch. in an automobile, won a race with the rebel cavalry to the international boundary today
 The chase followed the footing of the Cudahy ranch by men under Will Hams who were not satisfied with 5000 worth of horses, mules and pro- visions. They wanted the costly tour ing car. The Americans at the ranch learned of their design and started for the American line. The rebel cav airy. in hot pursuit, made a short cut across the country and twice the mounted rebels were close to the fugitives. once when the automobile had to be stopped. having become en- tangled in barbed wire the bullets flew thick about the Americans, but none reached a mark.
 In the automobile, driven by w E. Taylor. were Thomas F. Daly, man ager of the Cudahy ranch and three others. When the line was crossed Williams men were less than a quar- ter of mile behind The marauding CoAAO -ScNCn EOAiOW ing this episode they struggled into Mexicali despite the declaration of Salinas that they would not be per- mitted to enter

He first resolved to kill himself at Phoenix March II. but said he was too we'll known there" so he went to Los Angeles.
 T have had many good times in my day" Moran writes. and that he did is indicated by the fact that the refrains of eight popular songs occur. unconseiously written. in the body of his letter.

FIONA, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, .s1

allow provisional president to be se-
 lected by Diaz's cabinet
 By permission of the federal authori-
 ties and the insurrectos special train flying a white flag was run out toward
 Bustillos hacienda. sixty miles west of
 Chihuahua. Half way out the corre- spondent was met by General Pasquel
 Orozco and an escort of 100 insurrec-
 tos.
 SenOr Madero dictated a statement
 which he said might be accepted as definite expression of his views. IL
 follows:
 q know the great damage the war
 is doing the country. and if it were possible for negotiations to settle the war I would be pleased, though it should be necessary to make conces- sions on each side. I am disposed to make all personal concessions and will ask only for the necessary guarantees to have a new election perfectly free and open to every voter. I will not consider the guarantee and promises by General Diaz because he has never fulfilled his previous promises. To have peace in Mexico it is absolutely essential that Diaz should resign.
 Tn such a case a provisional presi- dent will have to be selected by both sides It is not necessary that I or any oj my friends be chosen. I would &C., cept as a provisional president a mem Der of the Diaz administration if chosen by both sides, and if guaranteed he might select a few provisional gov ernors.
 This to us means great concessions. which we will make to settle the war. If the ambitions of General Diaz oblige us to continue the war l am sure we will soon be victorious. and t will be better for the country in the end to have all my program developed be- cause it will mean the most radical change When left the United States there was no talk of peace negotiations. for which reason I did not name any peace commissioners.
 Notwithstanding. it is natural that my father and friends have taken ad- vantage of the first opportunity to consider the matter. and I approve their efforts because consider them patriots. If any peace negotiations are actually opened. undoubtedly I would appoint my father one of the commits sioners
 If we are described in the United States as unfriendly to law and order. I wish to tell you that in the war we attempt to be kind and considerate. We pay no salaries to anyone but to the families of those fighting in our ranks. All land We have taken has immediate ly been subject to the civil govern ment." This ended the statement.
 President Diaz's message arouses ones visibility" said he in a conversa- ton. Tt will have no influence on us. t probably will be thought now when we have all our demands promised that We will show only a selfish ambition if we continue. but these promises are just what we have heard before. wish it understood that am not fighting for personal agranize- ment I will sacrifice myself and everything I possess for the good of the country.
 "We intend it as no affront to the | United States when we say we care for no foreign interference This is 2 family matter. We desire peace as l much as any one. but We have not and 1 will not retreat from our just de- | nands."

 LAMBASTED Defeat of ProgressiVes in Senate Minority Caucus SELECTION OF \ LEADER
MT. Martin of Virginia Who Was Believed to Be Lack ing in Radicalism Was Elected by a Vote of 21 to 16.

 Prior to the session the progressive democrats, as the followers of William J. Bryan prefer to be designated. met in the office of Senator owen to can vass the situation. Several found themselves in an embarrassing position because of pledges made many weeks ago that they would support Martin.
 It was decided to vote for MT New lands of Nevada as Messrs. Culberson and Stone both declined to be candi- dates. The plan was changed when it it was learned that Mir. Shively would not object to receiving the compli- mentary vote of those who would not vote for Martin. Several progressives conceded that Senator Martin could not be defeated The failure to upset his candidacy was due partly to ais hav-

Martin was nominated by Clark of Ar kansas and Shively by Kern of In diana. Senators Tillman of South Caroline. Terrell of Georgia and Shive- ly were absent because of illness. Mir.

 statement issued by Senator Owen, speaking for the senators who voted against Martin. says: Those who sup ported MT. Shively did so because they are militant. progressive democrats. favoring the policies of the national progressive democracy. and they feared that the country might feel that sena- tor Martin might not be regarded as progressive as the country had a right to expect the leader of the senate to be We expect the country will be agree ably disappointed in this matter.
 There are at least twenty-two or twenty three militant progressive democratic senators who are going to do things. They are united in spirit and in common purpose to control the special interests of this country. and to restore the rights of the common people"

May Use Unanimous Con
 sent Rule" to Get Even The Trouble Provoked by
 the Unfair Distribution of New Committee Places.

Washington, April 7-The first for maI conference of the republican house leaders. including representa- tives of the insurgent faction, was held this afternoon. It followed a re- fusal by the democrats to give up any more committee places to the republicans to restore the proportion that heretofore existed between the two parties in committee assignments.
 After the conference. Minority Lead CT Mann gave out a statement ar raigning as unfair. arbitrary and brutal the action of the democrats in trampling upon the rights of the mil nority'
 Mir Mann submitted the situation to the conference, and asked whether he should not refuse entirely to name committees on the limited basis of representation. It was determined that he should go ahead with the selection of republican members. Mir. Mann said that absolute fairness would be shown the insurgents. . It was declared that the demo- cratic members of the ways and means committee had adopted the policy of making a majority of seven on the principal committees. whereas the d9minant party never before had claiyhed more than six majority.
 Mfr Mann said: The republicans cannot prevent the application of force by numbers, but it can object to those things ordinarily done by common consent. The spirit of fair des ling from the outset having been set aside by the democrats. they must not expect to receive many favOrs from the minority. l apprehend that the unanimous consent calendar of this congress may not be of much value"

day the ladies fill their lunch baskets
and go to the polling places and
spend the day, serve free coffee and
lunch to the men, and she thinks
that they create good influence at
the polls. Drunken men do not
come staggering and swearing
around the booths and in curtesy to
the ladies the pipe and fragrant
cigar are laid aside. She also says
that wives do not always vote as
their husbands vote, but have minds
of their own and vote as they think
best.
