FEAR GROWING THAT MADERO GAN NOT CONTROL ACTION
 OF INsURRECToS.
MEETINGS HELD SECRETLY
Conference Conducted With Courtesy on Both Sides, But Situation Is Grave Outside Peace Zone
 Final Results Indefinite.

Fl Paso, Tex, May 5.--The first formal meeting of the Mexican peace envoys began in a grove across the river from the Fl Paso irrigation dam. The preliminary meeting between Francisco I. Madero, Jr., and Judge Francisco Carbajal, at which arrange ments for conferences were complet- ed, was entirely amicable.
 Inasmuch as Judge Carbajal is not authorized to deal with anyone but Madero, the latter will of necessity, be the insurgent peace envoy, with his father, Dr. Gomez and Senor Saurez as advisors. The actual peace meet ings are being held secretly, none but the two envoys being permitted with in one hundred yards of the center of the peace grove"
 Meanwhile, it is not denied that the situation in Mexico, outside the zone of armistice," is critical. The report from Mexico City that Judge Carbajal demanded that Madero prove he is qualified to speak for all insurgents
 
 able to do this, is not admitted by Madero and is not credited here. Opin- ion here is, however, that the entire insurrectionary situation rapidly is getting beyond Madero conuol and that independent rebel bands are pre- pairing to continue the war whether Madero likes it or not
 It was made known at the foreign office that the first hitch in connec- ton with the peace negotiations has arisen over the demand of the fed eral government that Francisco Ma. dero prove to the satisfaction of the government that he is entitled to treat for all the revolutionists now under arms. This he said he was not pre- pared to do, although he insisted that most of the men now under arms against the government are his sup porters.

CRITICISM TOOK ENTHUSIASM.
There have been a lot of unkind
things said against me, especially
by the ministers of this city, said
Mr.. Lambert. Il did not feel that
/ could continue in the work, as I
could not put the same spirit into
it as before.
Il am going into business and
shall retain my membership in the
Elmwood temple at the request of
the trustees. My resignation is
purely voluntary and was not taken
as the result of any action by the
people of the church. At the meet
ing of the trustees last month they
urged me to stay.
After all has been said, the worst
thing the ministers can say against
me Is that / married a man who had
been divorced for committing stat
utory offense. It was simply his
money which called attention 10 the
marriage.
OTHER PASTORS IN SAME BOAT.
IF Astor had been a poor man
nothing would have been said. There
are lots of ministers in this city
who have done the same thing and
I can prove II. The fact that my
own association did not censure me
proves it"
Rev Mr.. Lambert has been the
pastor of EImwood temple since
year ago last September.
He did not care TO say what sort
Of business he would enter. He did
not know what the chances Of his
returning TO the ministry were, he
said.
