STORY Of GRIMES
OF SOCIALISTS IN
MEXICO IS DENIED
Victor Berger Denies That
Party Exists in South
ern Republic.

With a declaration that there is not
now and never has been a Socialist
party In Mexico, Representative Victor
Berger, the only Socialist In Congress,
today denied the printed reports that
American women and children are being
held captives by the Socialists in the
Alamo. Lower California. Mr. Berger
is one of the two international secre-
taries of the Socialist party in America.
S''Of course, I cannot copyright the
name of Socialist any more than La
Foleltte and Taft can copyright the
nem of Republican or Underwood and
Clark can copyright the name of Demo-
crat. but to my knowledge there Is no
socialistic party In Mexico. How could
there be Socialistic army holding peo-
pie captives then?
believe that Diaz is a tyrant. Three.
fourths of the Democrats and three
fourths Of the Republicans believe the
same, but the big moneyed interests
who have investments In Mexico do moi
care how many men Diaz kills, just SC
their interests are protected. That
why they urge mobilization Of troops
and threatened Intervention.
The only difference between the Re.
publicans and Democrats and the So
cialists on this matter Is that We ex-
press our beliefs more forcibly than the
others.
Instead Of the Socialists being in.
clined to hold women and children pris-
oners, all that have ever known have
protected them. This is an international
tendency Of the Socialists

There is rumor around the Capitol
of a movement on the part of some
members to fight a mileage appropri-

believe that IL their party is to be con-

until this agitation quiets down. but In
the meantime there are many members

GIRLS NEAR DEATH
WHEN LARGE SOAP
PLANT IS BURNED
Jump From Roof>to Adjacent
Structure as Flames
Sweep Building.

NEW YORK, April 13-One hundred
men and girls employed in the big plant
of the Manhattan Soap Company. at $50
West Thirty-sixth street, had narrow
escapes from death in a fire that de-
stroyed the building today.
They were at work when fire started
on the ground floor and spread up the
elevator shafts and stair walls.
When the alarm was given, the work
ers made their way to the roof and
jumped to the roof of an adjoining
structure, from which they easily made
their way TO the street.
Fire Kept In Building.
The rire was kept in the building In
which ii originated.
The occupants of a number Of tene-
ments adjoining the burning factory
were driven to the streets by the fire.
men. There was a report that one of
the girls employed on the second floor
of the factory was missing, but the
firemen were of the opinion she would
turn up after the fire was completely
extinguished.
Firemen Overcome BY Smoke.
There were thirty girls on the second
floor. They ran screaming to the front
windows.
Employees of adjoining factories
climbed up and drove them back before
they could jump and marshaled them in
order, after which they were led to the
upper floor and helped down on the ad-
joining building
A number of firemen were overcome
by the thick black smoke from the
building, but none were seriously in
jured.

French Professor Gets
Around Customs Snag

Eugene Duquesne, of France, who has

architecture at Harvard, caught on

it was said in letter received today at
the Treasury Department.
When the customs inspectors eNamin-

at New York, a courtesy extended
through the good offices of the Treas
ury department officials in Washington,
they found uncompleted plans for the
Governors Mansion in Havana Prof.
Dusquesne intended to enter them in
competition in Havana.
They lacked a few hours wcrA Un-
completed they were without value.
Completed they might be worth thous-
and dollars. Appraisers did not know
what to do as the plans in their un-
finished state could not he admitted in

problem. He set up a drawing board on
the docks and in the presence of a small
company finished the plans. They were
admitted in bond and then forwarded
TO Havana where they will be examined

PEACE IN MEXICO
WITHIN MONTH, IS
|. WORD OF GOMEZ
Head of lnsurrecto Junta
Here Says Diaz Is :
Ready to Quit.

Within one month the Mexican federal
government will be suing for peace,
and willing to concede virtually every
material concession demanded by the
Madero revolutfonists Within three
months peace will have been restored
a provisional president and cabinet will
be in power, and plans begun for free
election that is expected to forever end
the rule of the Cientifico party of which
President Diaz is the real and titular
head.
This is the unqualified statement made
today by DR.. Gomez, head of the MeXi-
can revolutionary junta in Washington,
and chief counselor Of Francisco l.
Madero, who has named himself pro-
visional president Of the republic of
Mexico.
DR.. Gomez bases his statement on the
fact that when the federal government
proffered, unsolicited, unhampered tele-
graphic communications between DR..
Gomez and Senior Francisco Madero.
that the latter might be informed by his
lieutenant of the subject OF the confer
ence which took place between Gomez
, and Senor de la Barra, President Diaz
thereby formally recognized the revolu-
tonists as a bellIgerent power.
Calls 1t Victory.
The unsolicited offer Of the Diaz
government to permit communication
between Senor Madero and myself
through a portion of territory that is
held by the federal forces" said DR..
Gomez, today, means that Diaz has
thrown off the hitherto cloak OF secrecy
with which he has tried to hide from the
Mexican people the true situation. 1t
means that he has come out into the
open, and will hereafter treat with the
Ma6ero party 'as they have insisted
upon from the start.
And Il has even a more significant
meaning than this alone. Even the
most casual observer of the situation
IN Mexico cannot help but see that Diaz
IS anxious for Francisco Madero to
learn what concessions his officials have
been ordered to offer. He realizes that
he can no longer keep up the struggle
, against the growing sentiment which
has fed the revolution.
End of Resources.
The Cientiaco party has come to the
end of its resources, and within a
month, President Diaz will be seeking
out the revolutionary leaders to sue for
peace. He will agree to our terms. which
are not unreasonable, and within two
months Of the time these negotiations
are started the country will be peace
full and preparations started for a con-
stitutional election to fill the presiden-
tial position
Assistant Secretary of State Wilson
said today that he had heard nothing
from Consul Schmucker, who was or
dered to go to Alamo, in Lower Cali
fornia, and Investigate the report that
American women and children were be-
ing held in captivity by band of So
called revolutionists.
Consul Schmucker, it is understood.
reached Alamo today and it is expected
that by tomorrow morning he will have
wired the State Department here a re-
port on the situation.

TO COMPLETE CANAL
BY September, 1912
CHIEF ENGINEER COCKTAILS ES.
INMATES THE TOTAL COST
AT $36o,coo,ooo

Washington, Feb. 12.-Colonel
Goethals, chief engineer of the Pan
anna canal, says the canal vii, be COM
pleied by September I, 1912, at cost
of $3sO,OOc 900.
This is two years ahead of all ear
lier estimates for completion of the
canal and fully $50,O00,O00 less than
many engineers have figured as the
total cost.
Because of the early completion of
the canal Colonel Goethals has urged
the house committee on commerce to
prepare legislation under which can
be fixed shipping tolls for passage of
vessels though the waterway.
Colonel Goethals could not say what
would be fair charge, but thought 81
per net ton of vessel would be a
heavy tax on vessels using the canal,
but would give the transcontinental
railroads competition on freight from
New York to San Francisco.
1t is essential, Colonel Goethals
holds. that the government control the
coal supply stations, so as to prevent
private interests by monopolization OF
this supply indirectly to control the
operation Of the canal through their
rates for fuel.

LEGAL PHASE OF The CASE
AS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE HE
HOLDS EVIDENCE ADDucED
COMPELLED ExoNERATIoN
REMARKS WERE DRAMATIC
LONE STAR STATESMAN WAxED
ELOQUENT IN COURSE OF
LENGTHY SPEECH

Washington, Feb 13.-By resorting
to the bold device of asking his an
tagonists in the senate to stand up
and testify, Senator Joseph w. Bailey.
OF Texas, today developed highly,
dramatic situation in his discussion
of the Lorimer case.
Mr.. Bailey, who is a member of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, coincided with the report, de-
caring that nothing invalidating Mr..
Lorimer's title to his seat had been
developed by the committees investi-
cation. The Texas senator's remarks
were devoted largely to a substantial
ton of his contention that a suf-
ficient number of votes must be
shown to have been bought to affect
the result, unless it is proved that
the official whose election is chal-
lenged, personally participated in the
offense.
Senators Root, Borah and Cummins,
all of whom have spoken against Mr.
Lorimer, were requested to stand up
and express their opinions as to the
legal soundness of this proposition
Mr.. Bailey said even the Chicago Tri-
bune, whose charges resulted in the
investigation, had been compelled to
exonerate the accused senator of any
personal knowledge or participation
in the alleged bribery.
Mr.. Bailey contended further that
even if the seven votes of Represent
atives Brown, Beckmeyer, Link, Will
son, Holtslaw and Broderick were not
counted for Lorimer, Mr.. Lorimer still
had been legally and properly chosen,
as these votes, according to the
courts, must be rejected for all pur-
poses, and not only substracted from
Mr.. Lorimer's total, but from the total
vote of the legislature.
