Submits Proposition to His Cabi-

MEANS END OF INSURRECTloN
Vice-PresIdent Corral Must Also Quit

and viii Be President
Ad Interim.

Mexico City. - The terms which
President Diaz is willing to grant
in order to restore peace to Mex
leo was made public here. They
constitute practically a complete sur
render to the insurrectos. The terms
are:
President Diaz and yice-President
Corral viii resign before June l and
new election will be called within
six months.
Minister of Foreign Relations de la
Barra will become president ad in
term.
Francisco /. Madero, the revolution
airy leader, will be called 70 The City
of Mexico to act as De la Barra's chief
adviser and as the greatest guarantee
possible that every pledge made by
the government will be carried out.
As viewed by the public 1t will be
virtually a joint presidency, pending
the calling of a new presidential cleo
ton.
The cabinet will be reorganized
The minister of war will be named by
De la Barra. The foreign Office will
be in charge of a sub-secretary named
by De la Barra. Other cabinet mem
bers Will be chosen by De la Barra
and Madero acting jointly.
A new election will be called within
six months.
Political amnesty will be recon-
mended to the chamber of deputies.
The resignation of Diaz and the
Joint regency of De la Barra and
Madero are said to constitute a guar
antee so complete that the original
lnsurrecto demand of IA governors no
longer needs to be considered.
The cabinet was in almost continu
GUS session for two days, despite the
severe illness OF President Diaz The
presidents entire face is infected from
an liberated tooth. His upper lip is
swollen far beyond its normal size
and his face is infiamed.
He speaks with the greatest diff
Guilty, but while he is in severe pain,
his condition is not alarming at this
time, despite his advanced age.
The governments conditions were
telegraphed to Judge Carbajal, with
instructions to submit them to Gen
eral Madero. Soon after the terms
were submitted an armistice covering
the entire republic Of Mexico was
agreed upon. Inasmuch as the gov
eminent believes 1t has made every
concession that the revolutionists
have requested. it IS firmly believed
that treaty of peace will follow.
The public received the announce
ment of Diaz's intention to resign
with profound satisfaction. Since the
battle of Juarez they have realized
that the presidents remuneration of
his high Office alone could bring about
peace. Business throughout the repub-
lie has suffered severely and the peo-
pie generally were eager for an honor
able peace.

TAFT IN DEFENSE
OF THE HEBREWS
Scores Members Of Club for Black
ba!ling-Three Officials
Resign.

Washington. May 1S.-There has de-
veloped an unprecedented furry in
club circles here. especially at the
Metropolitan club. as a result Of Pres
ident Taft's speech at the Jewish
Temple, in which he strongly de-
nounced the practice of social clubs
blackballing or barring members be-
cause they were self-made men.
The presidents language and refer
ences pointed Enthusiastically to the re-
cent action Of the Metropolitan club
here in refusing admittance to Martin
w. Littleton, representative from New
York, and Senator C. w Watson Of
West Virginia.
The presidents remarks were
prompted by the statement OF Rev.
Madison Peters Of New York who pre-
eeded him. Rev. Mr.. Peters said that
Jews were excluded from exclusive
clubs because they were Jews.

ings Against Officials.
Washington.-The Supreme court
of the District of Columbia on its own
initiative instituted proceedings for
alleged contempt against President
Samuel Gompers, Vice President John
Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morri-
son of the American Federation of
Labor.
The sentences of Imprisonment inn
posed on these men by this court were
revoked by the United States Supreme
court and the case remanded to the
district supreme court.
The United States Supreme court.
in setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisonment, held that the case ON
which the lower court had acted con-
stituted civil contempt against the
Bucks Stove and Range company, and
that the offense was punishable only
by fine to be recovered by the
wronged corporation.
Justice Lamar. in handing down the
opinion, called attention to the fact.
however, that If the lower court felt
aggrieved 1t could have brought Grim
inal contempt proceedings in the
premises and have inflicted jail SEN
tence
The lower court has been quick to
take advantage of the opportunity af-
forded to reopen the case. AS the
labor dispute which brought the case
into court had ended it was presumed
the matter would be allowed to drop.

KNOX ENDS WORK
ON PEACE TREATY
Draft Sent to ENJOYS of Britain and
France-other Nations Are
Invited.

Washington. Secretary Knox
has submitted the draft of his ar
bitration treaty. which viii serve
as a basis for negotiations between
nations for the settling of all dis
putes, to the ambassadors Of Great
Britain and France.
The fact that this movement would
be inaugurated with France as well as
Great Britain came as a surprise.
When President Taft last December
enunciated the doctrine Of comprehen-
siye arbitration, he received a quick
response from Ambassadors Bryce
and Jusserand that Great Britain and
France were willing TO begin negotia-
tions.
The president instructed Secretary
Knox to crystalline the proposition
which this government would offer.
The secretary has evolved document
which expands the scope of the exist
ing arbitration treaties by eliminat-
ing the exceptions referring to "ques-
tons Of vital interest and national
honor"
The tentative draft of the proposed
treaty was described by Secretary
Knox in the following official state
ment:
THE department has completed a
draft of a general arbitration treaty,
which has been approved by the presi-
dent and will be submitted to the
French and British ambassadors. This
draft represents what this government
believes to be a sound basis for nego-
tiations for the extension of the scope
of its arbitration treaties.
THE general features of the draft
are these: It expands the scope of
our existing general arbitration agree
ments by eliminating the exceptions
contained in existing ones of questions
of vital interest and national honor.
1T is proposed that all differences
that are internationally justiaa5le
shall be submitted to The Hague tri-
bunal, unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Sc
lected
1T provides that differences that
either country thinks are not interna-
tionally justifiable shall be referred to
a commission of inquiry with power to
make recommendations for their set
Element. This commission to be made
up of nationals of the two govern
ments who are members of the Hague
court.
Before arbitration is resorted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is one sus-
ceptible of arbitral decision, the COM
mission of inquiry shall investigate
the difference with a view of recon-
mending a settlement that will pre-
clude the necessity of arbitration"
