C. R. GRAY OF ST. LOUIS WILL
SUCCEED ]. F. STEVENS
FIRST OF MAY.
New President of Jim Hills Railroads
With the St. Louis g. San Francisco
Road for 80 Years-Born in 'e7-It
Is Rumored Stevens Will Go to Mis-
souri, Pacific Replacing George Gould

Carl Raymond Gray, senior vice presi-
dent of the st. Louis & San Francisco,
with headquarters in the Frisco build
ing, st. Louis, Mo-, has resigned to be-
come president of the steam and cleo
trio lines in Oregon and Washington
of the Hill system, with headquarters
at Portland, Ore, succeeding John F.
Stevens. This new appointee is the
fourth head of road since s., P. & S.
was built. w. G. Nixon, vice presi-
dent and general manager, will succeed
Gray as senior vice president of the
Frisco, with Charles M. Levey and w.
H. V. Rosing as assistants to the vice
president, and w. T. Tyler as general
manager.
The offer from Hill to Gray was
pending while Howard Elliott, presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific, was con
sidering the proposition for the choice
of the executive officers of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Iron Mountain.
Shortly after Elliott left st. Louis
Gray met Hill at st. Paul, and then
inspected the Hill properties in Ore
gon and Washington.
Gray's Ability Conspicuous.
The acquisition of Gray gives the
Hill lines in the northwest one of the
ablest and most successful chieftains
in the entire west.
Gray has served with no other rail
road than the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco. Born September %, 1867, he
attended the Arkansas Industrial uni
versity, and when Is years old became
telegraph operator with the Yo1um
line. He has been with the Frisco 20
years.
Stevens Tires of Job.
John r. Stevens, head of the Hill
railroads in Oregon, is leaving his pres
ent employment mainly because he can
write the word 'finished' upon the
projects he came here to accomplish,
and because he chafes at the humdrum
of strictly managerial occupation.
Bush to Be in Gould's Job.
B. F. Bush, president of the Western
Maryland railway, has been selected to
succeed George j. Gould as president of
the Missouri Pacific railroad, according
to reports. A salary as high as $780,
600 a year is to be paid him.

WOULD STOP MEXICAN ROW
One Plan Is To Treat openly With
Rebels, the Other, Says DR.. Gomez
Is to Continue the War.

ashington.-Pointing out that inc
message of President Diaz to the Mex
lean congress indorses the demands OF
The Mexican revolutionists, DR.. vas
auez Gomez, head of the confidential
agency of the insurgents here, has IS
sued a statement suggesting two solu-
tions of the trouble in Mexico. The
government of Diaz, he declares, by
throwing aside it's pride and furnish
ing proof of it's patriotism, ~ may treat
openly with the revolutionists, putting
an end to the conflict and arranging
ssthe best manner of guaranteeing the
reforms and just demands of the revo-
lutionists,' or the war may continue
to its fnal triumph, which, DR.. Gomez
believes, is not far distant.
Dr. Gomez says that if the revolu-
tionists are obliged to pursue the lat
ter course, he hopes that, Gin the in
terest of justice and humanity the
United States will recognize the bel
ligereney of the insurgents.
Explosion At Juarez.
Ell Paso, April 2.-Francisco Sonora,
q federal soldier, is dead and three
men are wounded as the result of the
explosion of three bombs in Gale Di-
ablo, in Ciudad Juarez, at midnight,
Sunday. At first an attack was be-
leved to have been planned on the Jail
and was thwarted by bomb explosion,
the purpose of the explosion is mex
plicable. This, together with reports
of prowling bands of insurrectos, has
caused fear apparently that Juarez is
about to be attacked.
Rebels Lose "a.
Chihuahua, Mexico, April 3.-Thirty-
four rebels were killed and scores were
wounded in a clash between a detach-
ment of $50 federals and $50 insurrec-
tors at Albania, Saturday night.
The instructors are said to have been
shot down in a running fight following
a surprise attack by the federals. Diaz
soldiers say they lost only four men
killed, two of whom were lieutenants
who led the chase.

CHAMP CLARK IS IT
ELECTED SPEAKER OF CON-
GRESS, But With LESS
POWER Than JOE.
Democrats in Caucus Decide on Having
All Committees Elected by the House
Reciprocity and Tariff Revision
Features of This Extra Session of
Congress.

Washington the south in the
saddle, the democratic majority in the
new house of representatives begun it's
work in caucus Saturday resulting in
the election of officers, the adoption of
rules, full list of committees and a
Legislative program that was signal
lied by the slashing of $182,68O from
the annual payroll of house employees
as constituted by the republicans.
Members Retain Control.
Champ Clark of Missouri was chosen
speaker, but the power that marked
the rule of Cannon was taken from
him. The caucus decided that the
house shall elect all committees. The
theory of "caucus ruleD was carried
through all the plans. With a majority
of GO and all working together with
out serious friction, the leaders were
optimistic in their prophecies.
Committees Held in Check.
Chairman Underwood of Alabama of
the committee on ways and means, on
behalf of the committee, presented the
Legislative program, which was adopted.
1t provided that committees should not
report, unless hereafter directed by
caucus, upon any subjects except the
following:
Election of United States senators
by the people.
Legislation relating to the publicity
of campaign contributions, both be-
fore and after elections.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement,
general tariff legislation and legisla-
ton affecting the revenue of the gov
eminent.
The reapportionment of the house of
representatives. to conform to the 1910
census.
Resolutions of inquiry and resolu-
tions touching the investigation of the
executive departments.
The admission of New Mexico and
Arizona to statehood.
Any deficiency bills that the exigen-
cies of the government may require to
be considered at this time and to cor
rect errors of enrolling the appropria-
ton bills approved by the president
Legislation relating to the District
of Columbia.
Filibusters Prevented.
In order to prevent a revival of the
filibuster successfully carried on by
Mann (Rep. ILL., in the closing days of
the last session, new rule provides
that the title of bill shall not con-
tain more than 100 words and that no
person shall have upon the calendar
more than two bills at the same time.
Republicans Oppose Tariff Change.
Sentiment among the regular repub-
licans in the senate is overwhelmingly
against any sort of tariff revision at
the extra session. And there are multi
plying evidences that the regular re-
publicans are disposed to do all they
can to placate the progressive wing of
the party. Without the support of the
progressives the democrats cannot pos
sibly get any tariff bill through the up
per branch of congress.
Taft for Reciprocity Only.
President Taft, by sending in a mes
sage dealing with Canadian reciprocity
alone will pave the way for the pro-
gram which the senate republicans
propose to adopt.
