Thief GETS HIDDEN
MONEY, MISSES BIG
ROLL ON DRESSER
Eight Hundred Dollars in
Plain Sight Overlooked
by Prowler.

CALDWELL, N. j., April 3.-Simon
Van Ness walked into the Citizens Nat
ional Bank here yesterday. and, placing
$500 before the cashier, rems=aaed:
We'll, they didn't get this They got
pretty nearly everything else. They
missed this because 1t was on the bu-
reau in full view of them" Who is
them? asked the cashier. Burglars.
They came 10 my house last night, and
what they didn't get of the lower floor
they got from my trousers" said Van
Ness. They didn't even leave me the
trousers" Van Ness then told how he
had received $500 in real estate deal
on Thursday and had placed the bills
on the bureau; how he had a similar
roll in his trousers. and now burglars
by a ladder climbed into the house
through an upper window. They didn't
overlook a thing, either" continued
Van Ness. THAT Is, they didn't over
look a thing that was hidden. They
seemed to know just where things would
be hidden. and all the while the $50
was in full view on the bureau have
an idea that my burglars must be
crazy"

THIS SESSION WILL
MEET next ONE, IS
FEAR Of MEMBERS
Some Look for a Years Con-
tinuous Congress, Due
to Tariff.

Members of Congress- rapidly are
coming to the conclusion that their
stay In Washington will be extended
far into the summer, and that possibly
the extra session of Congress will meet
in head-on collision with the regular
session next December The members
have abandoned all hope Of even a rea-
sonably short session.
Many OF both the House and Senate
came to Washington for the extra ses-
sion unaccompanied by their families,
the impression being somewhat general
that after the reciprocity agreement
had been passed the Senate would re-
fuse to pass the House popgun tariff
bills and that an adjournment would
ensue.
/, A majority of these took up their
quarters in hotels. Today many of
these same members are placing them
selves in the hands of real estate
agents and spend their afternoons
looking for houses to rent. They are
likewise sending messages to their
families to the effect that II the afore-
said family wants to keep up its ac-
quaintance with the head of the house
1t would be we'll to come to Washington
for that purpose.

Regardless of the fact that Williams

that he is a brave man who Is about to
breath his last. United States officials
were the first to offer their services
when he was brought In here fatally

Most remarkable of all is that the

MADERO QUTTSSON'S
CAMP; BATTLENEAR
Father of Insurecto Leader Is in San Antonio and Both
Sides Are Getting Ready for Fight at
Chihuahua.

Ell PAso, April s-with Francisco l.
Madero, sr., returning to San Antonio
and farther away than ever from the
camp of his son, the insurrecto leader,
and the insurrectos and federals alike
preparing for battle at Chihuahua, the
dove of peace appears to have had its
wings singed.
1t may be, however, as some believe.
that the negotiations Will be completed
in San Antonio, and It is agreed that
Madero, ST., can reach his son from
that point as quickly as he could have
done It from here, as there are railroads
operating to Chihuahua from San An
tonic and none from here.
Besides, the senior Madero declared
on leaving last night that Gen. Juan
Navarro, commanding the military in
northern Mexico, declined to give him
safe transport. This may be more cas-
lily obtained from some other direction.
Madero says he bad repeated assur-
ances from Mexico City that he might
pass into Mexico, and that orders have
been issued to that effect, but Navarro
has repeatedly said that he had not re-
ceived them. r,
The senior Madero declared before
leaving here that he was not represent
ing his son nor anybody else, but that
he and Limantour merely took up the
work because of a mutual interest in
wishing to see Mexico peaceful and
prosperous.
There arrived in FL Paso this morn

The city of Chihuahua is being
turned into a fort. Trenches are being

wire fence is being. put OUTSIDE the

their camp west of the city the insur-
rectos are preparing for battle while
they await the manufacture of their
crude cannon from steel shafting in the
shops of the Northwestern Railroad at
MADEIRA.
A fight is looked for soon. News from
Nogales is that the store and camp OF
the Porvenir Mining Company at FL

was raided last week by insurrectos.

Finance Minister Threatens
to Resign and Leave
Country.
TROUBLE AROSE OVER
DEHESA APPOINTMENT
People Uneasy Lest Split Bring on
Financial Panic and
Hard Times.

MEXICO CITY, April 9.-Grave un'
easiness is felt in Mexican financial
circles because of rumors Of serious
friction between President Diaz and
Minister of Finance Limantour. me
rumors are said to rest on the author
fly of an official who is persona grata
at the palace.
The reports are that Limantour's dis
satisfaction has reached the point where
he is likely to resign and leave the
country. Such a development at this
time would be calamitous for the peace
Of Mexico.
In financial circles IT is feared that IL
Limantour leaves the country securities
will tumble, and will throw the people
into a financial panic of proportions un-
precedented in Mexican history. Crops
are small, and financial disturbance at
this time would be doubly felt.
Many Consequences.
Not alone Is it feared that the in
ternal effects of Limantour's departure
would be grave, but that it would add
TO the uneasiness and apprehension of
American and foreign investors, and
would increase the prospects Of Ameri-
can Intervention. N...-
The trouble between Limantour and
Diaz seems to arise over the question
of the appointment of Governor Dehesa,
of Vera Cruz, IS minister of the inte-
rior. The President wants Dehesa. but
Limantour has long been an enemy of
Dehesa, and Is said to want DR.. Vasquez
Gomez for the post, because he regards
Gomez as the broadest and most rea SON.
able Of the revolutionists.
Limantour thinks Gomez could inf1u-
ence the revolt, and help bring about
peace to greater extent than any
other man that might be named.
Governor Dehesa is understood to
have assured Diaz he could form a new
cabinet and end the war in thirty days
II given free rein. He could undoubt-
edly accomplish this, but the delay in
announcing his appointment is convinc-
ing the people that something IS wrong
and that there are difficulties some
where .- ---r-...
The people are becoming convinced
that the reported friction between Diaz
and Limantour is true.
Optimism Prevails.
Officials and some business men seem
to be optimistic for peace, but at the
people will not be satisfied until -Diaz
leaves the country.
A report by the committee on the bill
prohibiting reelection of officials is
expected Monday or Tuesday.
The fact that Vice President Ramon
Corral has been granted a vacation
with salary, is creating a bad impression
because of the apparent inclination of
the administration to disregard the
public demand for his resignation and
that of Diaz. -
The daughterIof Vice President Corral
was married yesterday morning to Will
lam Obregon. jr. The civil ceremony
was in the morning and the religious
ceremony In the afternoon The newly
married couple will accompany Vice
President Corral to, Europe Wednesday.

rumored, vii! leave the city quietly this
afternoon.
