Peace Prospect Not Bright.
Ell Paso, March 2s.-If any peace pro-

Mexican government. it is believed bv
the sinsurrector junta here that they
will be delivered to Francisco l. Ma

It is believed the first step taken by
the federal government would be to
sound Madero's attitude without bind
ing the government to definite promises.
Through the conferences between

Madero. according to reports, is less

man3s which include the retirement Of

LOLLEY WILL GO FREE. I
Police Admit They Can't Convict Him
of Selling Liquor.

Charles Lolley, whom the police be-
lieve knows considerable about the
Benjamin Platt murder, will be tried
this afternoon in police court on a
charge of selling liquor. No one be-
lieves Lolley will be convicted of this
charge. After the case is concluded
Lolley will be released.
When Lolley was arrested, two
weeks ago, there seemed to be con-
siderable evidence against him. But
the work of the police and county
officers was not always harmonious
Some of the evidence was lost. Grad
ually the case faded away and the
county attorney refused to issue a
warrant for Lolley's arrest. But Lol-
ley was not released. He was held in
Jail on a charge of selling liquor, al
though Chief jenkins admitted this
morning that there was no hope of a
conviction.
1--WE will try Lolley this afternoon
said Jenkins, land then I think we will
let him go. Our main witness is in
the county jail on a statutory charge
and can not testify
The weeks delay in the case has
not produced new clues. Gradually
the public has been allowed to forget
the matter and Lolley will be given his
freedom this afternoon with the hope
that Shawnee county taxpayers will
soon forget the matter

Washington, March 29.-Prompt de-

President Taft of the report from
Springfield, ILL.,. that Mr.. Taft had
Joined with Senator Aidrich in urging
the election of William Lorimer to the

Edward Hines, a Chicago lumberman

yesterday testified that Senator Aid

1t was stated here today that SINH

tember and that President Taft then
in letter to an Illinois friend, cate

letter the president said among other
things that "the rumor, report or state
ment that consciously lent any Of the
weight of the administration to the
election of Mr.. Lorimer is wholly un-
true"
Friends of the president said today
that Mr.. Taft had expressed the nope
that the deadlock in Illinois would be
broken and a senator elected but that
was as far as he had gone.
Former Senator Aldrich today de-
clined to discuss the testimony of Mr.

HEADLlNER DOES 1T.
Dean Mathews Says He Shapes Pub
Hc Opinion

Lawrence, Kan, March 29.-Dean
Shailer Mathews of the divinity school,
University of Chicago, who is giving
series of lectures at Kansas university.
believes the. headlines of the daily
newspaper go farther toward sharing
public opinion than any other agency.
In an address to the faculty of the
university today he said:
Let me write the headlines of the
daily newspapers if 1 am to create
public opinion. The man who shapes
the newspaper story wields the most
influence in shaping public opinion.
"The analogy between teaching and
the work of the newspaper is further
evidenced if the teacher accepts the
law of the advertising man that his
success comes from making people
want something in addition to what
they already possess. Teachers should
look upon themselves as co-ordinate

Concerning Law Enforcement.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
We have read the editorial wherein
it is said that Mayor Billiard has en-
forced the prohibitory law about as
well as it has been enforced during
the past few years. The writer of this
editorial is evidently not familiar with
the facts.
Mr.. Billiard has made no effort
whatever to enforce the prohibitory
law in this city during his administra-
ton. He has been wholly inactive and
has given no aid or assistance of any
kind or character to the county attor-
ney or sheriff of this county. whose
duty it has been to assist in enforcing
this law.
1t is no more difficult to enforce the
prohibitory law than. any other law on
the statute books, when the county and
city officials make united and earnest
effort for its enforcement. The coun-
ty officials have no difficulty in clos
ing and keeping closed the open joints
in the city, but it is very difficult for
the sheriff and his four deputies to
patrol the city and secure evidence
against all of the bootleggers. The
police force can easily do this, and 1t
is their duty to furnish the evidence to
the county attorney, and it is the
mayors duty to see that they do it.
The police force, during the past
year, has rendered valuable assistance
to the county attorney and sheriff in
securing evidence leading to the con-
viction of persons charged with violat-
ing all other laws but have rendered
little or no real assistance in the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law.
With the earnest cooperation Of the
police force the bootleggers in this
city can be put out and kept out of
business.

Los Angeles. Cal, March 29.-That

Baron D'Estournels De Constant, mem
Der of the French senate and repre-
sentative of France at The Hague

it is stirred up by ignorance In both

st. Louis. March 29.-The two-cent

invalid by a decision of the United

down here today.
The unanimous opinion of the court
restraints the members of the corpor-

the attorney general of that state
from enforcing the provisions of the
Oklahoma constitution reducing the
maximum passenger fare to two cents
per mile and reducing freight rates in
intrastate traffic. The Injunction was
issued in 1909, when the corporation

commission attempted to establish
maximum passenger rate of two cents
and reduce freight rates approximately
40 per cent, under the constitutional
provision adopted in 1907.
The opinion was written by Presid
ing Judge Sanborn.
The court declares that the evil

amount almost to conf1scation of the
railroad properties and would not al

The opinion declares that the pro-
vision in the constitution of Oklahoma
giving the commission power to fix the
rates is in conflict with the constitu-

Thousands of the fowls began assem-
bling about 10 o'clock in the vicinity
of the plant and an hour later they
had become so dense that workmen
tried to frighten them away. A num-

flock. and hitting the arc lamps which
surrounded the plant, plunged the
place in darkness. The birds again
satfled and were still there at an early
hour this morning, all attempts to dis
lodge them proving futile.
The men employed at the plant Will

fowls could be had for the plucking.
