MEXICO BIl-ANfLS US.

Minister Barra of Mexico says Mexico diSclaima responsibility for the deaths and injury of Americans at Douglas during
 the battle of Agna Prieta. He
 says shots Were fired from the
 American side Of~line by rebel SyInpathizers; individuals un- doubtedly pas sed from the Amer ican army to the Mexican side, and, not content with this fla grant violation of neutrality, which may be attributed to the confusion that exists regarding the line, diSSuaded the federals from continuing themselves, in deed, even diSarmed them (the fcderals) and handed their arms over to the revolutionists, all of which was done at the instiga- ton of the seditious factions
 De La Barra also claims that Lieutenant TrOncOso of the Fed eral army was wounded by a shot from the American custom house, from which shots came constantly during the struggle, without it being perfectly plain whether the shots came from the revOlutiOliSts who had taken posSeSsiO1 of the custom house or from Americans who sympa- thiZe with the revolution and who were present in that United States building.
 l have to complain" con- tinues the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of another very clear case of violation of neutrality, which 1 am certain the govern ment of the United States will know how to punish in proper form. A rife of one of the re- volutiOnistS, having gotten out of order while the battle was in prOgl esS, this man crossed the line, had his rifle fixed by the American police and returned to tho Mexican side and tco,1 his place.
 To avoid a conflict, and while awaiting instructions from high CT authorities, it is declared,
 the federal troops did not take up these positions, Gin the tren- ches) but Maj. Gardner permit ted the reVOlutiOniStS to do so, greatly to the disadvantage of the federal forces and their cause"
 This ministry does not be- lieye for moment that such things are happening at the wish of. and with the cognizance of, the American government, but it is certain that maEy depart mentS of the American govern ment are at times being badly served by minor officials who are partial to the re and most anxious to give them all possible aid.
 In conclusion, l request Your Exc allency to communicate the contents of thiS note as speedily as possible to your government, those points ilIuStrat- ing the abuses committed on the frontier and illustrating the actions of the persons of whom we complain, so that your gov prment may procure as soon as possible a remedy to an abnOr- nal situation"

FREE LIST BILL is
REPORTED TO HOUSE
Tariff Charges Can Be Great,
ly Reduced

Washington, D. c., April 19.-TAe
majority report of the Ways and
Means committee on the so-called far
mers free list bill, submitted to the
horse today by Chairman Underwood
is a merger of democratic political ar
gument and an analysis of the propos-
cd duty exemptions.
The report shows that the bill
would reduce the tariff revenue S1O.-
O16,495, based on the importations for
the last fiscal year, an amount de-
scribed as "inconsderable, compared
20 the great saving and advantages TO
al of our people the additions to the
free list provided for"
Quoting President Taft's recent
Canadian reciprocity speeches, the re-
port seeks to convey the impression
that the administration is convinced
that protective tariff rates are too
high.

shot HIS BROTHER
IN WARM DISPUTE
Disagreed Conserving Lease
For Timber \

Dublin, Ga, April 19.-In the lower
lart of this county Andrew Miller was
shot three times by his brother George
yesterday, two shots striking him in
the right arm and the third in the
right side. The wounds are not be-
lieved to be serious.
The rren have been in dispute for
some time over some timber. George
Miller and Caldwell Beacham leased
some timber from Andrew Miller. The
lease is said to be conflicting, one
clause stating that the lease covered
all timber, Standing, dead or down, =
and another clause state that the
lease covered the hill timber. The
.lessees were cutting some slash tim
Der and an injunction was secured.
The men met yesterday afternoon
and began cursing each other. Finally
George Miller pulled his pistol and be-
gan shooting at his brother. Several
gentlemen were standing near, and
Andrew Miller ran behind them and
the shooting ceased. No warrant will
be sworn out by the wounded man, as
he stated that he can manage things
without the aid of a court.

HOPES FOR PEACE
ARE SHATTERED
Leaders Refuse to Agree to
AFmiStiCG

Washington, April 19.-Hopes for
peace in Mexico were given a setback
today when DR.. Masquez Gomex. head
of the revolutionary junta, receiv-
I'd dispatches from Maderos camp in
chihuahua.
While Dr. Gomez kept secret the
contents of the messages, he said that
it was now probable that the struggle
would continue, intimating that Ma
dero and other revolutionary leaders
believed that victory was in sight for
them, and that they have refused to
agree to an armistice.
The receipt of Madero's dispatchse
was startling phasc of the situation,
as earlier in the day DR. Gomez had
stated that there was every indication
that peace negotiations between the
revolutionists and the government
would soon result in peace
News of the dispatches rejecting
plans for an armistice was soon COM
municated to officials of the Ameri-
can government, and all expressed
their disappointment, as it had been
the general feeling that an armistice
would be a good one.
President Taft has assumed the full
burden of the situation and he is anx-
ious to see peace brought about, as
will put the responsibility up
to him.
DR. Gomez said today that a pro-
posal for an armistice has been sent
to the Mexican government and that
a favorable reply had been received.
He had telegraphed the insurrecto
junta at Ell Paso, Tex, to communi-
cate this information to General Fran
cisco l. Madero.

Mr.. Clothes Buyer

Dear Sir:
1t would be a good thing If all business were
done on the basis of mutual benefit way. That's
the way we're trying to do our business. When
we can sell customer of ours a suit made by
Hart Schaffner & Marx we get as much satis-
faction out of knowing how good the clothes are
for him as we get out of the profit we make on
the sale.
It's pleasant for any of us, in business, or in
any other work we do, to have that sense of
having served somebody well, in addition to hav-
ing "made something" for ourselves.
Every Hart Schaffner & Marx garment we
sell adds to that feeling. They're clothes that
men ought to buy for their own good, not simply
because we want to sell the clothes.
You'll understand this better when you see.
