St. Louis, April 25.-Three witnesses of John Dallwitz, one of the seven victims of the gasoline tank car explo- sion in North St. Louis Saturday, de- clared Fred Bretsnyder, vice-president of the Bell Oil company, was smoking cigar while opening the oil tank.
 Two of the witnesses declare they noticed smoke coming from Bretsny- der's ciear. Mrs. Dora Coughlin Of All North Second street, daughter of Thomas and Mary Onions, both of whom were burned to death, said her father made a similar statement be- fore he succumbed to burns.
 Mrs. Coughin testified she did not see the ignition of the gasoline tank, but that when she visited her father later in the day at the city hospital he told her of the explosion.
 How is Bretsnyder?" she testified her father asked her
 He's all right" the woman told the coroner's jury she told her father.
 He ought to have had his head blown off" Mrs. Coughlin testified her father told her.
 Then Mrs. Coughlin told the deputy coroner and the coroner's jury of six aOout her conversation with her dying father. She testified her father said Bretsnyder had cigar in his mouth when he was on top of the tauk.

TO IGNORE PEACE FACT
Socialists in Lower California Con- tinue Their Struggle for Sep
 5dte Recognition.

MeXicali, Lower California. April 25 The armistice signed by Madero and the prospective peace pact between the eastern insurrectos and President Dlaz will have no effect upon the re- volt in Lower California. if Gen. tran- cisco Salinas, commander-inc chef Of the rebels, and Gen. Rhys. the Welsh commander of the American contin- gent of the liberal army, hold to ire quenty reiterated declarations.
 They do not assert complete inde- pendence of Madero, but declare them selves opposed to the self-styled presi- dent. They are fighting for the estab- lishment of a Socialist commonwealth in Lower California, but might accept the suzerainty of Mexico as a condi- tion of peace, provided all the rich concessions and grant land areas now held mostly by Americans are confis- ca ed.

Trenton, N. J.. April 25-.Elated over tanning through an indifferent legislature sweeping program of re- form, which almost out-Oregoned Ore gon, Gov. Wilson has announced his plans for getting acquainted" swing around the western circuit. Ostensi- bly, the trip, which will take him through the West, with especial atten- ton to the Pacific coast cities of Seattle, Portland San Francisco and Los Angeles, is undertaken to keep engagements made some time ago." but the real reason is to aid the gov ernor's promising boom for the next Democratic presidential nomination.
 The friends of the governor frankly admit the real object Of the trip. As showing that he may yet have the act i've support of William J. Bryan, they say, that while en route, the governor will stop at Lincoln and will be enter tained at Fairview by Col Bryan. The trip will occupy good part of next month

Confession of McManigal.

McManigal was urged to tell the truth because of his wife and little children, and this plea is said finally to have won him over For seven hours he answered questions before he declared, with weakened voice: Honest to God, that's all of it."
 Seated in the room were William J. Burns, head of the detective agency; Detective Reed. several operatives from the Burns agency, and an off cial stenographer of the police depart ment. In an adjacent room Jim McNamars was sleeping.
 The little group of listeners in the bedroom sat awe-stricken, held spell bound by McManigars tale. He spoke carelessly of the crimes, telling of how the explosive was planted" how he had visited union officials and had been paid for his death-dealing work and of the explosions in which the three other members of the wreck ing band, he said, had figured. when he finished he lifted his right hand and swore he had told the truth.
 Well, it's all off now, guess" he drawled as he signed the document Don't tell Jim I coughed up, though because he would be awful sore. You had me, though, so all I could do was to tell"
 This document was in a wallet car ried by Assistant District Attorney Ford of Los Angeles when Captain oi Detectives Stephen Wood turned over McManigal and McNamara to the Cal ifornia officers Saturday night.
 McManigal's recital of the crimes he said were perpetrated by him and McNamara involved two other alleged dynamiters. They were NJ. A. Schmidt, known as "Schmldty,' formerly a prominent member of the Wood Work, CTS union of Chicago, and Dave Rap Ian.
 The last named is said to be serv, ing jail sentence in Oklahoma and is being watched there by detectives. Schmidt is being sought in Ohio by detectives.
 According to the confession the gang was concerned in the last year in more than a dozen bomb outrages. He declared unhesitatingly that he and the others were well paid for all the outrages and insisted that Secre. tary McNamara of the union was the head of the conspiracy.
 He told in detail of the long-laid and carefully perfected plans for the de- struction of the Times building, but

Messages Move Slowly.

The negotiations were at this stage when they were resumed. Experience demonstrates that negotiations by tel egraph with most of the lines in Mex leo out of commission are too slow and tedious, especially where hundreds of words of code must be used, the least mistake in translating which causes many hours delay
 For this reason both parties wish to appoint envoys with full power to act. The naming of the envoys, the selection of meeting place and trav- cling to it, it is thought, will require more than the four days remaining of the truce and hence the determination to extend it's duration if necessary.
 A member of the mission today de scribed the negotiations as being in a very delicate stage, where an undiplo- matic slip might spoil everything.
 However" he added. i've have gone so far now, 1 am certain that no matter what hitches may occur, a basis of peace will be reached
 Americans Are Quitting.
