Washington. May 2i.-One of the most
interesting bits Of political gossip Wash
ington has heard in n long while was cur
rent here to-day, to lie effect that the
entrance OF Henry l.. Stimson, of New
York, INTO President Taft's Cabinet may
mean that he will he Mr.. Taft's running
mate in the campaign Of 1912
The friends and advisers of the Presi-
dent. in casting about for man to head
the ticket with him. are said to look with
much favor upon Mr. Stimson. the new Sec
tetary of War They appear to he par
ticularly anxious to get n strong man from
the progressive element on the ticket. and

Cabinet Not Yet Completed.

The provisional reservation, made two
weeks ago, was confirmed to-day under
circumstances not surprising. The pub
lie announcement of the Presidents in
tentions was withheld. and uncertainty
prevails as to when the resignation Will
be presented TO Congress. 1t was TO
have been offered to-day. but was de-
layed owing to the fact that the Cabi-
net has not been completed. Two
changes are expected In the names given
out last night. One will probably be in
the War portfolio. If the Cabinet is
finally decided upon tonight Congress
doubtless will have the resignation to-
morrow. The only question is as to COM
pliance by the revolutionists as whole
with Madero's acceptance.
Peace lies with the factions COM
manded by the leaders in Guerrero and
Morelos Madero's representative here
sent four emissaries south to-day TO con-
fer with Figueroa and other command
ers.
Reports to-day from Cuernavaca,
where Azunsulo. formerly a colleague
but now a rival OF Figueroa, has control,
say that the rebels have given them
selves over to festivities and decline to
discuss matters of state until the merry
makings are finished. The railway to
Cuernavaca. which was out Of service
yesterday. was reopened to-day.
Virtually all apprehension Of an attack
on the capital by Azunsulo's command.
within striking distance, has passed
away

MADER|STS TALK
Of ARREST|NC D|AZ
Threats Made by Leaders Rad
ica| Supporters in
Capital.
TO PREVENT DEPARTURE
Trial of President for Malfeas-
ance in Office Also Discussed
Plan Not Countenanced
by Madero.

Iron Special Correspondent OF The Tribune
Mexico City, May 24.-Threats are
being made by radical supporters OF
Madero in the capital to prevent. with
force. if necessary, the departure or
President Diaz from the country. While
they are probably not to be taken as
anything more serious than an example
of the Incorporate tendencies manifested
by the irresponsible elements In Next
can politics, it would not be surprising
II some sort of attempt should be made
to keep Diaz in the country.
Madero and the more moderate Of his
associates show a disposition to treat
the retiring President with all respect
and deprecate hostile manifestations as
known that Madero has been urged to
assent to the arrest Of Diaz and have
the President tried for alleged malfeas-
ance in Office.
There is little probability of this being
done, but the proposal is in line with the
entire disregard for the public services Of
the President shown by the people as a
whole since Maderos ascendancy, which
has evoked general criticism from for
eign observers.
No overt acts have yet been committed
to embarrass Diaz or cause him to be-
lieve that his Journey to Vera Cruz will
be attended with disagreeabe circum-
stances.
a report that the cutting of the rail-
way TO Vera Cruz was done as part Of
a plan to make It impossible for Diaz to
leave the country is unfounded. In
vestigation shows that the track was
| torn up by a party Of bandits in sheer
wantonness. Bandits also are RESPONSE

traffic on the National line to Laredo.

Reservations Held Back Day.

The demonstration began at the Cham
Der Of Deputies after that body had been
in session more than an hour, and when
il became known that the designations OF
President Diaz and Vice President Cor
raj were not to be presented to-day. The
chamber was crowded TO its capacity,
and the doors had been closed on a large
number who sought admittance and who
for a time stood in orderly groups about
the entrance.
Then a number Of men and boys APP
peared. bearing printed sheets declaring
that General Diaz had refused to resign.
That was signal for an outburst Of in
dignation. The shouting in the entrance
to the chamber called out the sergeant
alarms and a number of assistants. and
the balconies and stairs were cleared.
They took up the cry. "Vivo Madero"'

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

For the week ending April II, 1911.
The first half of the week was
coludy and stormy, with copious
rains attended by thunder and light

and. damaging winds. The last -four
days were generally clear with cold
nights; the minimum. temperature
being below the freezing point owe

cellent condition for tilling. Con-
siderable progress was, however,
made during the last three days of
the week in plowing and seeding,
Practically all Of the spring wheat
and barley are in and the bulk Of the
oats will be seeded by the middle of
the coming week, Grass Is he
ginning to start nicely since the late

the week in the settlement when
love and devotion marked the gener-

These two were were faithful
to all gatherings, consistent as
members. Maude united with the
church In 1906 during the pastorate
of Thos. j. Elwick, Fred in 1910,
during the pastorate of Thos. Carson.
Fred's sickness dates from late in
the fall while he was attending
school in Coggon. but not until Christ
mas did he give up his studies. He
was seriously sick for about six
weeks. Maude was doubtless under
the power of the insideous disease be-

death. On account Of Freds sick
ness she was taken to the home OF
a sister, Mrs. Alvin Johnston, to be
cared for. She was passed con-
sciousness when Fred passed away
and this came with such sorrow to
the near bereayed ones. Maude was
youngest of five girls, Fred, the
youngest of five boys. One brother,
Harry died of the same disease al

City Mayor,
Dear Sir:-
| suggest that the river bank es-
pecially above the Hoag Mill dam
should not be used for a dumping
ground for manure or other refuse.
The manure heaps are unsanit ry
and unslghtly. There are some
closets setting on the brink of the.
bank and drain into the river.
These should be set back and a hole
dug. Those that drop directly into
the river on South Franklin should
he made to connect with the sewer.
In the future some provision should
be made to carry the sewerage of
the laundry, creamery and the DAYS
chicken dressing establishment te-
low the dam.
All of the above mentioned thinss
contaminate the river water which.
