MEXICO CITY
IS ISOLATED
REBELS TEAR UP NATIONAL
RAILROAD AND BURN BRIDGES
-DIAZ MAY RESIGN PREsI-
DENcY TODAY.
RY Associated Press.

Mexico City, May 23.-The capital is
more nearly isolated tonight than
since hostilities began. The National
railroad was cut tonight near San
Felipe, the bridge burned and the rails
ripped near Humantla by bands of
rebels. Several lines were abandoned
today and the only one out OF the city
tonight is the 1nteroceanic narrow
gauge to Vera Cruz.
The revival of hostilities Is not
thought to mean the insurrectos re-
fuse to abide by the peace terms.
While 1t is rumored Diaz will not re-
sign tomorrow on account of the trou-
BILE, 1t is generally thought his official
resignation will be as predicted.
1t is probable the members of the
cabinet, with the exception of de la
Barra, will resign just prior to Dias
and also numerous army officers and
federal authorities.
Plans are being made to. give Ma
dero a brilliant reception upon his
arrival In this city. Political prison
ers plan a meeting tomorrow to

Bodies Of Six Bullet Riddled
Negroes Arrive in Tallahassee

came from Tallahassee. The best citi-
zens here assert that such a thing is
extremely improbable and the positive
statements made by the correspondent
call for proof. The crime for which
the negroes were lynched was COM
mitted fifteen miles from Tallahassee
near the Georgia line. There was no
intense feeling against the negroes in
Tallahassee or they would probably
never have gone through the coroner's
hearing without some demonstration.
Ordinary precaution caused their re-
moval from the Tallahassee jail to
Live Oak and thence to Lake City.

Washington, May 23.-Charges that
the American newspaper publishers
are compelled to pay higher prices
than is necessary for news print pa
per because the International Paper
Company is in practical control of
the industry in this country was made
today at the reciprocity hearing be-
fore the senate finance committee by
John Norris representing the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton.
He claimed the paper makers sold
paper cheaper abroad than in this
country and charged the makers with
refusing to sell paper at the mills.
He also accused the International Pa
per Company with an inflated capitali-
zation of at least $40,000,00O.
Mr.. Norris was questioned by vari-
Gus members of the committee as to
the purposes of the American News
paper Publishers Association. He de-
clared that his work as chairman of
the paper committee had been to do
missionary work among senator's and
in other places. The work had been
ell in the open, he added, no effort
having been made to conceal anything.
When Senator Root asked him If his
plets urging the passage of the reci-
procity bill, Senator Williams inter-
rupted by asking:
"You did not consider it any crime,
did you, Mr.. Norris, to send out litera-
ture in favor of placing things on the
free hst?"
"On the contrary" replied Mr.. Nor
ris.
When Mr.. Norris declared that the
American senate undertook to "bull-
doze the Canadian provinces" Sena-
tors Bailey and Hepburn objected to
the word ''bulldoze" and had it striken
from the record.
Mr.. Norris sought to show that the
International Paper Company is a
Combination in restraint Of trade"
He declared that he had been unable
to procure paper at market prices at
any paper mill east of the Rocky
Mountains. The American Paper and
Pulp Association, he claimed, was
a so-called bureau Of statistics to aid
the paper makers of the country to
maintain prices at an agreed price.
