Studebaker automobile and the plan has been for he and Lawrence to come to Phoenix via the old route, which runs through Ehrenberg. in the Stu debaker pathfinder car and then with MT. Bullard added to the party return to Los Angeles via Yuma and San Diego. MT. Bullard in answer to the telegram sent Lawrence the data he had concerning the money that has been raised for the race in the various towns along the proposed new route. He also told him that he could not get away from Phoenix until June l as he has court business coming up on the 29th of the present month. Presum ably that will be agreeable to Law renee and Ollier, so it is expected the party will leave here June 1.
 The trip this way across the desert at this time, via the old road, when few are making it, and relief in the event of trouble is hardly to be hoped for. will be in itself something of an adventure, for it is now pretty close to summertime on the California des- ert. The trip back to Los Angeles will also be a little venturesome as the route has not been definitely mapped out in detail. and the progress of the pathfinder will be watched with inter- est by automobile men and journals generally.
 This annual road race has become one of the big annual events of the automobile world and has given not only Phoenix but the entire southwest a great deal of advertising. The pro- posed new route is regarded as a bet ter one in many ways. First fl will be a little longer and in some ways more strenuous even though the stretches of almost impossible sand may not be so long. It will be equally as hard a test on the cars and drivers, and will attract more attention by taking in on the circuit, several new and populous communities each of which will have an interest in the event. Yuma, the Imperial valley towns, and San Diego, to say nothing of the many places be- tween Los Angeles and San Diego, will all be concerned and many of them will contribute to the purse for which the drivers will contend. A larger purse will be an added incentive to the en- tering of cars and it may be expected that the race next November will be the most spectacular automobile stunt of any executed to that time.

Sonora, a main line of guards will be posted along Craw- ford street west to the hills and east to the reservoir. An advance line will also be posted along the inter- national boundary. People living be- tween the advance and main lines will be requested to remain in their houses"
 Achievements Were received here with rejoicing by the meager ga-ri- son. Prominent among them was Col. Chiapas. in command of the NaciOn- ales. In addition to the soldiers the federal officials of Cananea and many women and children were on the train.
 Accurate reports from many points south of Nogales indicate that the rebel bands will soon hold every city, town and mining camp between Her mosillo and NOgales.

umphantly over every obstacle. We know that our dreams are at last to be realized. We believe that we are at last to be freed from the whip of Enclavocrates.
 But care will have to be taken in making a choice of president. There are many who aspire to the first po- sitiOn in the land, but where are the people to find a man who will be consecrated solely to their interests? :? Madero is not such a man, and I say 1t because I know the truth of my statement. How many men is he em ploying on his vast estates today? Ten thousand. Who are they? PeOns slaves. Where did his father get the thirty millions he bequeathed at the time of his death? From the peO- ple,-and unless Francisco Madero turns over his countless acres to the very classes he employees to slave for him, he is not a fit man for presi- dent, and not a friend of the people.
 What do we demand, and what are we striving for? We want, in the first place, a redistribution of land. We want every man to have a farm on which he can build a home and raise a family. We want to be hap py Is that too much to ask? We want banks established for the farm CTS where our money may be kept safely and draw reasonable interest Is that too much? We want schools where our children may be educated, as children are educated in this cOun- try. Is that too much? We want sustice in the courts and honest men in the places of authority. Is that too much? We not only want these things, my friends. but we will have them. God himself has stirred us to q realization of our poverty, and to a realization of our rights, and-l say again that the revolution will be victorious because it is right
 "There is only one thing for you to do. You cannot fight, but you can entertain the idea of liberty. Fight with the idea and you will not be without good influence for the cause Ideas are mighty, and there is no mightier idea than that of liberty After the victories of the insurrecto arms a man will offer himself for the presidency, who will be elected by the people. and he will serve them. It will not be MaderO; but there are many worthy men in our country Who would serve faithfully and devote themselves to our interests, the in- terests of the common people, and not to the interests of aristocrats

TALK TO TRADE UNIONS.
President at Convention Of Railroad
 Trainmen.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 14.-Contrary to his personal inclinatiOns but in the belief that it would do much to silence sensational reports of the seriousness of Mrs Taft's illness, the president came to Harrisburg today, remained for three hours and then departed for New York. He will go to the home of his brother. Henry W. Taft, where Mrs Taft lies ill
 In the few hours he was here the president motored through the streets lined with thousands of people silent for the most part, because they had heard through bulletins posted about town of Mrs. Tafts illness. He made a speech to several thousand persons The speech was delivered at the tenth biennial convention of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen The president kept close to the text He spoke of trades unions. their good and bad points, but he wound up by defining his position with regard to the utilization with the American Fed eration of Labor of organizations of government clerks.
 T think said the president, some persons have gone to the extreme in holding that there ought to be no com binations of government employees permitted I think, however, that in all governments. and I have given some examination to the subject of government employees, employees should be permitted to combine and have as sociations for their betterment. The proposition now is that such cOmbina- tions should be allowed to affiliate with trades union organizations and use the same methods in securing bet ter terms of employment that are recognized as lawful and justifiable in ordinary trades unions.
 This presents d very serious ques- ton and one. which if decided in favor of the right of government employees to strike and use the boycott, will be full of danger to the government and the republic The government em- ploves of France resorted to it and took the government by the throat
 'I do not think that reasonable minded trades union men will fail to to see the broad difference that exists between their case and that class or government employees who are priVi- legged not only in the amount of their conpensation, the less number Of hours of employment and the greater permancucy oe tenure. and who serve the government of all the people, the very existence ct W hich will be threat ened should they combine together to cult the government service all al once and paralyze the service

A PRIMARY LAW
 FOR WEST VIRGINIA PROGRESSlVES OF BOTH PAR
 TIES FAVOR IT. Also Some Republicans Not Chased
 As "Progressives."

Charleston, w. Va, May 14-FOr mary law for the nomination of can didates tor public office, including United states senator.by direct vote of the people, and the strengthening of the corrupt practices act of 1908, the West Virginia legislature will convene in special session next Tues day in response to the call of Cover nor GlasscOck.
 It is anticipated that the prOgres- sives of both parties will unite in passing a satisfactory primary bill. although the element of practical politicians" among both republicans and democrats may unite to oppose a bill not to their liking. It is practi- cally certain that some sort of pri- mary bill will come from the legis- lative hopper. despite the fact that four sessions of the legislature pre- viously have been unable to come to any agreement on the primary sub ject.
 Governor GlasscOck's plan calls for a state wide primary for the nomina- ton of all elective officials, from United States senator and governor down, including the members of party executive committees. The democrats now have a majority in the West Virginia house, while the republicans control the senate.
 Should senatorial primary law be enacted, Senator Watson will probably be opposed in the' primary by Col. John T. McGraw and prob ably two or three other democrats. while the republican entrants in the race would include Davis Elkins, A. B. White and Isaac T. Mann, with probably N. B. Scott and w. P. Hubbard.
 In addition to the primary law. the legislature will also deal with an amendment to the corrupt practices act to prohibit bribery in the nomi- nation of candidates for public of- flee. including that of United States senator, and to put an end to 'the lavish and corrupt use of money in choosing candidates for public office '

 PEACE MOVE Are So Far
 Proceeding sWimmhg|y AN EARLY RM|ST|CE
Insurrecto Leaders Satisfied With the Present Under standing as to Resignation of DiaZ-Want Governors and Cabinet Positions.

Juarez, Mex, May 14-Peace nego- tiations. unofficial but suspicious, have been resumed between the fed eral government and the insurrectos with prospects tonight that a definite understanding will be reached within twenty-four hours.
 So far as the resignation of Pres ident Diaz is concerned the rebel leaders are satisfied with the amplf- ficatiOn of the presidents original statement made to the Associated Press by Minister LimantOur a few days ago. What is most wanted now is a guaranty that the desired re- forms will be put into operation and that the insurrectos will participate in the government
 To this end the propositions now being considered include the imme- diate reorganization of the presi- dents cabinet. possibly by wholse- sale resignation, and the appoint ment of four members from the rev. olutionary party.
 The revolutionists also want the naming of governors of fourteen of the twenty seven states, including Chihuahua aind Sonora where provis- iOnal governments have already been established.
 This concession was assured in the previous negotiation and the rebels feel that the cabinet positions are of prime importance. With the ac ceptance by the federal government of these propositions, immediate ar engagements will be made for a gen eral armistice.
 HE WAS DISTURBING ELEMENT.
 Modification from Provisional Pres ident Francisco I. Madero Jr. today to Senor Esquival Obregon that his presence in this city is no longer de- sired by the revolutionists, is the cul- imitation of what is believed to have been a general plot to influence the military chiefs of Madero to desert his standard.
 Juarez. May 14.-Senor Obregon has been one of the go-betweens in the peace negotiations and was mentioned in the credentials sent to Judge Cara bajal, the federal envoy, by Minister Limantour as having disinterestedly offered his services in the cause of peace.
 Overtures were said to have been made to General Pasqual OrOZcO to furnish him with any money he might need for himself or his soldiers. but by whom these Overtures were made Orozco would not say. OrOzco had a long cordial talk with General Madero. He expressed his loyalty and rendered his regrets for the incident of yester- day.

who succeeded Richard A. Balinger as
secretary of the interior Is an expert
In railroad law and an advocate of
conservation of public lands He is a
friend of Clifford Pinchot and came
into the conservation movement as the
president Of the Conservation League
Of America. This was organized ins
order to give a start to the campaign
for conservation just after the last
presidential campaign had begun, with
President Roosevelt as honorary pres
ident and Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan as
honorary vice presidents.
Mr.. Fisher is member Of the rail-
road securities commission appointed
by President Taft to consider the
feasibility Of the regulation Of the
stock and bond issues of railroads.
The new head of the interior depart
ment is native of West Virginia and
Is forty-nine years old He was edu-
rated in Ohio and Indiana, and after
leaving college Mr.. Fisher went to
Chicago to the law office of Writ Dex-
ter, solicitor Of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroad. In 1889 he
became special assessment attorney of
the city council.
The connection Of Mr.. Fisher with
the traction question in Chicago began
In the last year of Mayor DUNES ad-
ninistration. Mayor Dunno went into
office pledged to Immediate municipal
ownership. He failed to carry out his
scheme for the reorganization of the
Yerkes traction enterprises and in 1907
called on Mr.. Fisher. though a Repub-
ican, to act as special traction coun-
sci to the city council. In this Office he
drafted the street railroad ordinances

der which full protection was given to
the bondholders and which assures the
