TIME FOR INTERVENTION.

An evening paper in Douglas tonight
prints full page article with head
lines:
United States Should Intervene for
the Protection of Border Citizens"
The editor states further: THE citi-
Zens of Douglas are not now interested
in what reprisals or damage may be
demanded for the dead and wounded,
but they want protection of their lives
now from foreign bullets, shot into
this country. The protection should
come now"
The buildings of the great Copper
Queen smelter which is located west of
Douglas. and about due west from the
center of the Douglas business district.
have been peppered with bullets. If the
fighting comes closer and the federal
troops charge into Aqua Prieta, the
danger in any part of Douglas will be
practically the same as that in any
street in Aqua Prieta. as the streets
of the towns continue in the same di-
rection.

ELECTION REFORMS
WITH A VENGEANCE
MEXICAN PRESIDENT NOT TO BE
REELECTED.
Neither Relative Nor Vice President
Can Succeed Him.

Mexico City, April 17.-ApprovinG
the measure proposed by Deputy Fran
cisco Bulnes, providing for 10 re-
election of the president, vice-presi-
dent and governors Of states, the COM
mittee of the chamber of deputies
made its report this afternoon, but
with some significant amendments.
The committee has added to the
measures the clauses which if enacted
would forbid the election 10 the
presidency or vice-presidency any
relative of the president or rice
president 1t also provided that a
vice president cannot be elected presi-
dent.
The committee members give as Il
reason for their recommendation the
assumption that at some time a
president or a vice-president might
use undue influence to secure one of
these high positions for a relative.
At this particular time special sig
nificance attaches to the report.
Minister de Ia Barra said that
peace prospects appeared to him
brighter than ever. 1t is known that
within the last twenty-four hours
communications have been exchanged
by cable between him and DR.. Vas
uueZ Gomas at Washington.

Government to the Last Urgent Note From the De
partment of State at Washington.

Washington. April Il - President
Taft felt tonight that he had done
personally all that could be done
by him to control the situation along
the Mexican border He and his
advisers believe that congress must
now say whether the situation is
grave enough to warrant Intervention
and its consequences.
Through the state department the
administration played what may be
regarded as its last card today II
reiterated in no uncertain fashion the
representations made to Mexico a few
days ago that affairs like that at
Douglas. and Aqua Prieta last week
must not be repeated. Instead of
awaiting the customary period for a
formal reply from Mexico. the depart
ment asked for immediate assurances
that there would be no more fighting
that endangered Americans in the
border towns.
Information also was requested as to
what action the Mexican authorities
had taken To prevent future combats
of this kind.
few hours after the department
announced that it had issued this
second demand, dispatches from Doug
