Mexico City, August 2.-Enraged by the dismissal of Emilio Vasquez Gomez from the post of secretary of interior, numer- ous former officers of the revolutionary army today openly declared that they would recall their followers and lead them in a second rebellion. Although no man has yet appeared to head this sec ond revolution, the movement is not re- garded at all lightly and tonight all sol- diers in the capital were ordered to quar- ters and mounted police patrolled the streets ssnAISs4lN
 President De La Barra intimated that Francisco I. Madero is the one really re- sponsinle fer the eliiHlnation of Gomez, and the former officers of the instruction are inclined to take this view also.
 President De La Barra stated that he

 his inquiry into the National City com pany the corporation recently formed by the directors of the National City bank of New York to hold bank stocks. It is
 understood he will in few days send a report to Secretary of the Treasury Mac

did not regard the situation as critica f, but that he proposed to use the means at his command to suppress any attempt ed uprising.
 Most of the afternoon papers followed their regular editions with extras, each succeeding one carrying more alarming news, much of 1t hysterically exagger- ated.
 Not since the days when the revolu- tionists were negotiating with agents of the Diaz government for peace have the affairs of Mexico been in such snarl.
 Complicating the situation still further, Gen Bernardo Reyes. who last night, an- ncunced that he would be a candidate for president, today visited Francisco I. Madero at Tehuaean. Notwithstanding that these men soon will be engaged in a campaign struggle, they appeared to be or friendly and even intimate terms.

ANCLO-AMER|CAN ARBITRATION ID BE SIGNED TOMORROW England, France and United States Are Parties To
 Agreement

Washington August 1.-The general arbitration treaties between the United States, Great Britain and France, con stituting the most advanced step eveI taken in the family of nations for the
 peaceful settlement of disputes, will be signed tomorrow. Paris and Washing
 ton will be the scenes of the conclu-
 sion of the negotiations of the world" heralded conventions.
 The first signature will be appended to the French treaty by Ambassador Jean J. Jusserand who is now in Paris at o'clock tomorrow afternoon This will be a. m. Washington time. The signing of the British treaty here will not take place until 3 o'clock in the afternoon or six hours after Ambas- sador Jusserand has committed France to the arbitration of any dispute she
 may have with America.
 In the presence of President Taft who invited all nations to join hands with the United States in broadening the arbitration principle. Secretary of State Knox will sign both the British and French treaties in the east room of the White House. On behalf of Great Britain, Ambassador James Bryce will sign the British treaty. He will arrive in Washington for this purpose tomorrow, coming from Seal Harbor, Maine, his summer home
 The arbitration treaties really found | tbeir inception in what at the time was regarded as a casual utterance of Presi- dent Taft at dinner of the American Society for Judicial Settlement of Inter- national Disputes in this city December Is last On that occasion the President declared he saw no reason why the an cient tradition should be preserved that questions affecting the vital interest and hcnor of nations could not be arbitrated; that in his opinion these questions were
 as susceptible of dispassionate arbitration as any other of international isues. The French ambassador, NJ. Jusserand, instantly offered on behalf of his goYern- nent to. enter into such treaty relations. The suggestion, taken up in earnest. was followed by eight months of hard work in putting the idea into concrete form.
 The British government was quick to realize the advantages to be gained by an internatioal agreement, which if eX- tended to nations other than the United States would tend towards the rea'iza- tion of the dream of universal limitation of armaments and in the end, of univer- sal peace.
 So it happened that it was Ambas- | sador Bryce who first sgnified form ally a willingness on the part of hi' government to close with the Presi dents proposition and the British American negotiations consequently were first inflated and progressed al | most to the point of conclusion before the French exchanges had fairly be- gun. ..4.
 Secretary Knox, however, was de termined that, this great pact should b, l truly international in character an' therefore, while 1t was possible to have wound up the British negotiations sev eral weeks ago, the state departmen purposely held them in abeyance unti the French, negotiations could be ad vanced. Thus it became feasible tt
 sign the two conventions on the sam, | day.

BARRIERS BURNED AWAY

When in the early seventies Mrs.
O'Leary's COW kicked over the lamp in
her barn on West 18th Street, in Chica-
go, the cow little dreamed she was
making name in the world for her
self and the lady who was doing the
milking. For thus does history tell US
that the great Chicago fire was started.
From this theme of this fire, E. P.
Roe, the Presbyterian minister novelist
constructed his story Barriers Burned
Away which proved the largest SELL
ing and most widely read novel of the
age, it being estimated that over one
million copies of the novel were sold
and over three million people nave read
it.
Messrs. Gaskell- MacVitty and Car
penter have had this wonderful story
put in play form, and the dramatiza-
ton, which is by George Middleton bids
fair to prove even more popular than
the book. Manager Obershaw has ar
ranged for the appearance of this play
at the opera house in the near future.
IT'S almost useless to say that it con-
tains deep moral lesson besides an in
teresting story for the dramatist has
endeavored and is said to have succeed.
ed in retaining all that was beautiful
and best in Mr.. Roe's book.
Barriers Burned Away is said to
be easily proving the success of the
present season, it being one Of those
plays that appeals to the non-theatre-
goer as well as those who go simply for
their Love Of the god Thespis.

.DR. COOK IS AGAIN
 IN LIMELIGHT

New York, January 26.-After an in terval of silence. pr. Frederick Cook, the explorer, took the lecture platform again tonight and told the German American Pioneer club of Harlem he is now more positive than ever that he reached the pole. Within his own bos- om, he said. there is the satisfying thump of success won at great cost; but at the same time the geographical proof that any one man-himself or Commander Peary-stood at the exact pole can never be laid before the arm chair geographers.'
 The whole matter is still in doubt, the doctor insists, except for his belief that he has as good if not a better right to claim the pole than Peary, whom, for the first time, he now ac- cuses, in company with Peary's friends, of forcing "by an organized effort a campaign to discredit my achievement. Hitherto the doctor has never ques- toned that Peary reached the pole Now he asks: 'Is there any one sure shoulder upon which we can hang the mantle of polar conquest?
 Specifically attacking the accuracy O. Pearys records, the doctor says they are in no better shape than his own.

P z. Hardie, who lives at the Jef- ferson hotel. walked into the police station bleeding from a wound in tho top of his head and reported to Ser geant Weaver that he had been held up and robbed of iewelry amounting to s40O and s45 in money by two white highwaymen on Fifth avenue, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth streets at about l o'clock this morn ing.
 MT. Hardie stated that the two men stepped out of a dark place about midway the block, seized him and dragged him back between two houses, where they proceeded to strip him of everything of value that he had on his person. MT. Hardie, attempted to call for assistance and struggled when one of the men struck him on the head with a black jack, inf1icting a very painful but not serious wound. He was left unconscious and was bleeding profuse- ly from the wound in his head when he arrived at the police station.
 Sergeant W Weaver immediately rushed officers to the scene but all trace of the men had disappeared. very ac- curate description of the men was fur nished by MT. Hardie and 1t is ex- pected that they will be caught at an early date. The following is the de- scription furnished by MT. Hardie: No. Thirty years old, feet Il inches high, would weigh 1t5 pounds, clean

New York, January 26.-(Special)- Forceful evidence of vigorous move ment to broaden the knowledge of the young men of the farm is the action of Rutgers college in. sending the short course in agriculture class on a series of inspection trips to points where va rious features of modern farm life are conducted along the highest plane that practical science permits.
 A notable illustration was the recent in- spection by 50 of these under the leader ship of Prof. II. R. Lewis of Alinsawac, the big model chicken farm, owned and conducted by William Dnwiddie, veteran editor and war correspondent, who is making poultry and poultry products a study This trip was of general interest, because of the widespread effort on the part of the rising generation of all rural sections of the United States to make poultry success certainty instead of an accident Interest lies in the fact that Rutgers example is likely to be widely followed
 The students who visited the Dinwiddie place are all sons of farmers, and are taking this short course in agriculture three months in all-because they can af- ford neither the time nor the money the longer course would require. The success of the course is a matter of general interest, demonstrating that there ought to be a chance for every farm boy to master the ground work of scientific farming, although circumstances may close the door to the regulation agricul- tural college course.

RAILROAD TRAFFIC
 STOPPED BY PLAGUE
North China Is Suffering With
 Fatal Malady
QUARANTINE IS IMPOSED
All Foreicners Who Can Get Away From Pekin Are Leaving as Fast as They Can Until the
 Danger Is Past

Pekin, January 26.--Owing to the prev alence of the plague, railway traffic in north China has almost ceased except ing from Tien Tsin to Pekin and between this city and Hankow. A special train will bring a dozen trans-Siberian passen- gers now quarantined at Shan Hai Kwan which will end the service on the Chinese line above Tien Tsn for the present. The Japanese roads are conveying no Chinese and only medically certified foreigners.
 Service on the German line from Tien Tsin to Pukow has been suspended and the prospect that further suspensions will be announced is causing many foreigners in Pekin to arrange for nasty departure from the city. Those leaving include Louis Einstein, secretary of the American legation, and other diplomats and their wives In deciding to leave the capital the Austro-H ungarian minister, Von Kuczynksy has surrendered the deanship of the diplomatic corps to Sir J. N. Ior- dan, the British minister.
 A plan for the general quarantine of the legation quarter has been agreed up- on and will become effective when con- ditions require it. All the legations have taken in a three months supply of ra- tions and fuel.
 American Minister w. J. Calhoun has received cablegrams from relatives in the United States urging him to leave, but he intends to remain, realizing that while the disease is deadly it is contracted cnly by coming into close contact with those affected, which is practically i'm possible within the legation area.
 > Physicians believe that the germ will be exterminated with the approach of warm weather and it is evident that it is of the type that f1ourishes in winter.
 News Is received of the death from the plague of another physician at Muk- den, pr. Jackson, a Presbyterian mis- sionary, aged 26. The fact of his death in spite of inoculation has increased the anxiety of women here whose husbands have gone to the front.
 The special equipment of the doctors is generally proving a safeguard They wear gloves and bind the neck, ankles and wrists and cover their heads and faces, breathing through a lint air sieve satu- rated with a solution of carbolic acid.

GRAND JURY TRIES
 TO EXPOSE FRAUDS

Danville, H., January 26.-Judge E. R. E. Kimbrough, Mayor Louis Platt and half score of democrats went before the Vermillion county grand jury today and told what they knew about charges of vote trafficking during the elections in the last year and half.
 Outside of Judge Kimbrough, none of the witnesses was in the inquisitori9l chamber long enough to have told any detailed account of illegal acts the aver age time consumed by each witness being seven minutes.
 Mayor Platt was inside three minutes, Cnly long enough to have told the in- vestigators, that by advice of counsel he would refuse to talk of matters talk ing place more than IS months ago, and that he did not know of anything il- legal since that time. He followed Judge Marlborough on the witness stand, the iur- ist having been questioned for an hour and 1T minutes.
 Previous to entering the grand Jury room Judge Kimbrough said he was pre- pared to tell everything the jury asked, even disregarding the year and a half limit. He admitted that he and Mayor Platt drove about the city when the lat ter was elected nearly TWO years ago with sacks of money which they carried to the polls. He said, however, that this was in accordance with the usual custom of paying the regular ward workers on election day and that intimations that they bought votes with the money were untrue.
 Earl Chambers, the garage owner who drove the automobile used by the jurist and the mayor, testified as did a half score others. c. L. English, president of the First National bank, of which Judge Kimbrough is vice president, ap- peared to tell about withdrawals of money from the bank at election times
