TAFT'S FRIENDS QUIT CLUB
AFTER HE REBUKES 1T
Chief Executive Denounces Metropoli'
tan Whose Members Blackbalied
Men Of Prominence.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The resig-
nations Of two members OF the board
of governors and the secretary of the
Metropolitan club of this city, made
known yesterday following a speech
by President Taft, In which he de-
nounced "smallheaded men who, In
clubs, attempt to manifest their great
ness by blackmailing men OF prom
inence, proposed for membership. have
stirred Official and social Washington
to the core.
President Taft, who is member OF
the exclusive Metropolitan club, was
reported. several weeks ago, to have
felt some resentment over. the exclu-
sion from the organization OF several
newly elected congressman and SEN
ators, proposed for membership by
some OF the most influential men In
the club. Among the men excluded
was one of whom the president was
said to be particularly fond.
The furry caused by the clubs &C
ton at that time had partially died
down when President Taft In an ad-
dress at the Jewish temple, revived
the subject by saying that he had had
friends-gentiles-k out of clubs
"by people who we're not worthy to
button up their shoes"
This was followed by the announce
ment today that Brig Gen. Clarence
r. Edwards of the bureau OF insular
affairs, an intimate friend OF Presi-
dent Taft; ieut-Col. Charles L. Nc
Cawley, Of the marine corps, former
ly a White House aide. and Capt. T.
NJ. Potts, Of the navy, had resigned
their Official positions with the Met
ropolitan club. Gen. Edwards and
board of governors and Col. Nc
Cawley secretary OF the club. All
three OF these officers had asked that
their designations take effect at once,
but Capt. Potts and Col. McCawley
later agreed to serve until next Octob-
er on account Of the difficulty or filling
their places at this time OF the year
Gen. Edwards, however. insisted that
his resignation should be accepted i'm
mediately.

Of three members OF the Metropolitan
club, who informed a friend recently
that they would take pleasure In
blackmailing Mr.. Hughes, IL at any
time his name were proposed for mem

was based on the fight made against
the race tracks Of New York state

state. The three members are inter

Gov. Osborn appeared before the

made strong argument for reciproc'

trade relations with Mexico. He said
the reported wheat possibilities OF the
Saskatchewan were over-estimated

charged Canadian railways with In
fluencing the reports OF the Canadian
government In this respect.
Gov. Osborn said he knew the at

This Is Attitude Of Auto Scorchers
Who Tear Along Woodward
Old People in Danger.

Pedestrians who cross the paved
stieets In the downtown section, are
regarded as trespassers by some OF
the auto speeders who have forced the
uprising In favor of the Littlefeld
ordinance. One has only to stop l5
minutes at John R.-st. and Woodward
ave. to be convinced OF this. Wood
ward-ave. is q wide street at this
point. and there is also clear stretch
where automobiles can be seen COM
ing down the asphalt from above the
Grand Circus park. II takes an ordi-
nary person possibly 10 seconds TO
walk across the street.
An active person. by watching his
chance. can pick out a time when
there are few machines coming from
up Woodward-aye., and make his way
across without endangering his neck.
A timid woman with a child, or an
old or feeble person, has harder
time. There Is large percentage of
drivers who appear TO take no heed
Of the pedestrians, their manner max
ing one believe that they leave the
foot passenger to clear the track or
be hurt. Some are more careful, but

by hair-breadth escapes, IL not much
assured by the small sprinkling OF
lords Of the road who are willing 10
check their speed at the crossings.
One driver, Wednesday afternoon,
came at a speed better than 20 miles
an hour down by the crossing. An
elderly couple crossed the street, and
the driver didn't alter his course till
he was within a few feet OF them,
when, seeing that they were not stop
ping, he took quick turn. This threw
him in line with two girls who would
otherwise have been out or danger.
They sprang aside In fright, and by
another twist Of the steering wheel
tue driver Just missed them and at
the same time narrowly missed a
trolley car. This was only one Of a
half-dozen cases OF recklessness. That
no accidents happened, seemed due to
the fact that Detroiters have become
"auto-broke," as a horse-trainer would
say, and are quick on their feet
DR.. Harold Wilson, No. 32 Adams
ave- west, contributes an incident.
An elderly couple were crossing
Gratiot-ave., pushing an empty baby
carriage, with which they were evi-
IDENTIFY starting for the market. The
old people had gotten well started
across the street when a man In q big
touring car sped down the street. He
seemed at first to expect that the old
people would jump aside and let'him
go by at top speed, and when he was
obliged to slow UP and turn out, he
gave vent to remarks that had moth
ing to-do with respect for graylhairE
Looking at the matter from the
standpoint of the man who walks"

er too high a notion OF their rights in

MEXICO CITY, May 1S.-Whether
the promise of President Diaz and
vice-President Corral to resign be-
fore June 1, has come in time TO re-
store peace throughout the country
is the most important question under
consideration here today.
Madero and his followers and prob
ably the insurrectos In the north are
willing to lay down their arms, as
they have gained by the surrender OF
the government everything they have
been fighting for. But the states of
Guerro, Moroles, Chiapas, and most or
the south are hotbeds Of revolution.
Thousands OF insurrectos are under
arms there.
These men hate and distrust Ma
dero. They have their own griev-
ances, growing out Of the oppression
OF the state governors and whether
they will be willing to subscribe 10
the peace terms offered by the Diaz
government, In q grave question. The
chances. however, are greatly in favor
OF an early settlement.
There Is q general feeling In the
capital that, while peace In the north
will be restored within q month, 1t
may be necessary for the governments
to adopt stern measures in the south.
Today there was every indication that
there Is a common understanding be-
tween Minister De La Barra, who Is
to be provisional president for six
months. pending the election OF a new
president and vice-president, and
Francisco /. Madero.
With the proclaiming OF FIVE days
general armistice, which will include
all Of the government forces In the
north and the Madero insurrectos,
couriers were sent south to notify
Gen. Fgureoa, leading the insurgents
on their march on Cuernavaca. that
Madero has agreed to stop fighting
and ask him to do the same. II u
hoped that definite reply from him
viii be received today.
Meanwhile, De La Barra and Ma
dero will get into communication re-
garding the signing OF a peace pact.
II was said on authority that Madero
VIII be invited to the capital, and that
the new minister OF war, to be ap-
pointed by De La Barra, will be an
individual acceptable to the proyision-
al president

BOARD OF TRADE DIRECTORS
UNEARTH QUEER DEALS
Scandal Of Far-Reachlng Proportions
10 Brewing In Chicago Board
of Trade.

CHICAGO, May 18.-Another scan-
dal OF far-reaching proportions Is brew
ing in the Chicago Board Of Trade
and the expulsion OF severe punish
ment OF q number of leading Bull"
brokers is forecasted. The peculiar
manipulations Of May wheat have
started the scandal. The investigation
now under way by the directors Of the
Board OF Trade Is said to have un-
earthed many other strange methods
OF doing business.
Late yesterday the board passed q
resolution branding as "uncommercial
and dishonorable conduct" the practice
OF marketing In other cities grain held
in elevators here at prices lower than
the price easily obtained In the Chi
cago market.
The big Bull" leaders In May
wheat have been selling their May
wheat cheaper In other cities, rather
than place 1t on the market in Chicago
and force down the price here. The
losses they would take in selling their
grain In Buffalo and elsewhere would
be more than made up by the profits
made by holding up the price In the
Chicago market.
