PEACE ADVOCATES
 RESOLVE ID WORK

New York, April s.-Advocates of in ternational peace gathered tonight at the New York Press club with Andrew Carnegie as guest of honor and resolved to work unremittingly until the pro- posed arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain shall have been ratified. They also blazed the way for the creation of a great peace movement throughout the coun- try with demonstration meetings in ev- cry city and county in the union.
 This meeting finds that there is one great impelling thought possessing the minds and hearts of all people to- day" says the resolution adopted, and that Is to find and apply a practical working plan that will substitute jus tice and good will for force in all the relationships of human life, and we recognize in this the great league of peace idea as 1t is now being worked out in the treaty being drafted be- tween the United States and Great Britain"
 A committee of 300 will be appointed to further the ratification of the treaty by the Senate and the resolution states similar treaties with other nations and to take such steps as will in their judg- ment advance the time when justice will be substituted for force in all re- lationships between nations"

An Eccentric Queen

From the Philadelphia Times.
 A show coming to Philadelphia need ed a large number of "supers." So an advertisement was put in the papers. In answer a young man who had taken part In dramatic entertainments at Pen- sauken. N. J.. applied and was accept ed.
 He was such a superior Super and stimulated the emotions of surprise, hor- TOT. contempt and gentle interest so ad- mirably while the stars were speaking that in the second week of the show they gave him four words to speak. They were very important words. In the very middle of the crisis of the third act he was to rush on the stage and cry: The queen has swooned"'
 The eventfu1 night. the eventful hour and the eventful minute arrived and the superior "super,' proud of his speaking part rushed frenziedly on the stage.
 "The swoon has queened," he roared.
 peal of laughter shook the founda- tions of the theatre. But, with a won derful effort the super regained himself. q mean" he shouted. the sween has cooned' Again the walls trembled.
 Come off. you idiot!" muttered the stage manager in hoarse whisper that could be heard all over the place. But the ambitious supet refused to surrender. and in rasping voice he screamed, 'The coon has sweaned."

B|G LINER IS IN
 SERIOUS DANGER

Lone Hill Life Saving Station. April s. Buried eight feet deep in what may be her grave, the million-dollar North Ger man Lloyd liner Princess Irene is still fast aground off this point while strong armed derricks are working to tighten her cargo. A fresh east wind accompanied by hail hampered the work tonight
 The vessels cargo is light in compari- son to her 10000 tons capacity and easy to handle, but it will take several days to clear the hold. Surfmen agree that she is in no immediate danger of break ing up although it may be weeks before conditions make it possible to pull her off. All hope may be blasted at any time by gale.
 None of the crew came ashore toda v, but an Associated Press correspondent went on board and talked with Captain Petersen. He appeared downcast an1 when asked to explain more fully how the grounding occurred said:
 T cannot discuss the situation to the press before reporting in full to my supe- riors." He spent the afternoon resting in his cabin.
 Albert ketcham, retired sea captain. who acts as an emergency customs in- spector, went on board today and said afterward that in his opinion the liner had deviated a full half point out of the compass after leaving Nantucket
 Wrecking tugs renewed their efforts to pull her clear at full tide this afternoon, but apparently she had not budged an inch.

PEACE ENVOYS
 DESERT Il PASO

Fl Paso, Tex. April s.-Francisco I. Madero, Sr., and his party left Fl Paso tonight, returning to San Antonio. They said peace negotiations had not been broken off but would be continued from that point.
 It is understood that one of the req sons for the return of the party from Fl Paso was the failure to get the proper escort into Chihuahua
 The senior Madero had assurances from Mexico City tprivate from Liman l. tour) that they might pass unmolested to the camp of Madera, Jr, leader Of the fnsurrectos but General Navarro, the military commander in northern Mexico declined to issue the pass ports to the party, it is now declared and repeatedly said he had no authority to do so It was reported early in the week that Navarro had approved the passports and had arranged to give the Madero party safe escort to the camp of the insurrectos, but 1his is now denied and it was be- cause of this, 1t is declared, that the de- lay was experienced in Fl Paso. Madero, ST., said tonight he was not a peace en- voy of the insurrectos but was an ernis- sary for the pacification of the country by attempting to get the two factions to- gether He says he talked with Linlan- tour in New York and the matter was set on foot there as between two friends, both having the same desire-the paciflca- ton of Mexico.
 A confirmation was received tonight that Casas Grandes has been abandoned by the federals and that half the com mand which marched overland to Ch,- huahua when Colonel Cucllar and POO sol diers came to Juarez, took all the am- munition and prisoners to Chihuahua

Hardship of Inheriting Money

E. & Martin In Harper's Magazine TOT
 December.
 It Is harder to get something for rothing than we think 1t is when we read of wills going to probate. They do 20 there, and then it is to observe whether the heirs get the money or the money gets the heirs. We don't take medicine unless we are sick. Money in large chunks Is pretty strong medicine. but we take it when 1t oners without regard to our condition, and 1t does not always do us good.
 A friend of mine was saving some thing the other day to the effect that man could not be of very consider able use in the world until he ceased to be dependent on his work for his living. Of course, that Is not so, as Iincoln's case and innumerable others attest, and as new cases Keep attest ing every day. Nevertheless. the ven erable John Bigelow has said something very like what Tom said. and l think there is slice of truth in 1t. Money In store Is power, and makes for leisure to think and act, and may help enor- mously. in a crisis, to independence in thought and action. Lincoln was poor, but, after all. he had enough cash in hand to spare the time for the debate with Douglas and for all the politics that followed. up to the time when he began to draw a salary as President
 The trouble with the chaps that come early into ready made money Is that so few of them ever learn enough about common human life. and people, and the clements of the job. to be considerably useful even If they aspire to be. Still, think they do better nowadays than they used to. The money getting school, whatever course you take, Is an exact ing school. Somehow you have to de- liver the goods-some kind of goods that somebody is willing to pay for. I wonder how much the girls miss, those of them who do miss 1t. by not talk ing the courses in that school! Of course they miss some great possibilities of development, but against that you have to measure what they would miss by not being able to do two kinds of things in the same years and sacrifice what they get as it Is, for what they might get as 1t might be.

FAITH DOCTOR
 IS IN TROUBLE

New York, April S.-(Srecial)-Al1 one needs to be able to digest Holsters, corned beef and cabbage-anything-is due ap- preciation of the fact that ones stomach lacks intelligence. At least that is what Mrs. Frances Brucery says Wintworth Byron Winslow a Christian Science healer, charged her g visit to tell her. Now he is under $500 bail for practicing medicine without license. The com- plaint is made by the County Medical society.
 Winslow is 30 years old and married. His wife is also a healer. Mrs. Brucery gives detailed account of her meeting with Winslow in her complaint.
 He told her, shea says:
 You must eat everything; you must not put yourself on diet. Also you must remove your glasses" She pro- tested that she couldn't see without them.
 In her affidavit she describes the sec- ,ond visit, which took place on March 13. She said she reported that she was not much better. M
 Your stomach has no intelligence," she quotes him, your mind governs. You can eat Holsters, corned beef, cabbage anything, your stomach does not know the difference"
 But I do,'' she replied.
 Other visits to Winslow were made March 20, 3O and twice this month. Each time she paid s2.
 Winslow refused to plead when ar- raigned today. His attorney asked the case be adjourned to next week, but Magistrate House declined to put 1t of later than Monday at 3 o'clock.

PEACE ENVOYS WERE
 NEVER APPOINTED
LimantOur Claims Govern ment Has Made no Over
 lures to Madero

Mexico City, April s.-speculations to the appointment Of commissioners to ar range terms of peace with the rebels was effectually set at rest today by a def- nite statement from Minister of Finance Limantour.
 MT. Iimantour said that no person had been named by the government Regard. ing Franciso l. Madero's proposal to re- sign the provisional presidency.' and to agree to the appointment of a member of the present cabinet as provisional pres ident, provided that General Daz would retire, MT. Limantour stated that he did rot consider himself authorized to talk Although MT. Lmantour's statement would appear to Indicate that the Mex ican government had little hope, of an early agreement with Madero, the belief appeared to be held in other official quar- ters that basis for peace would yet be found.
 Between the rebels and the government there remains but one specific point of difference-the resignation of President Diaz. Madero has insisted that the re- tirement of General Diaz is essential Francisco l. Madero is the man at rhe head of the troops. but Dr. vasquez GOmeZ at WaSnlngtOn Is his chief lieu tenant and Madero himself has ntimated that his opinion will be taken in consid- eration in any agreement made Dr. Vasquez Gomez has stated that the resig- nation of General Daz will not be in- sisted upon, saying that it might lead to anarchy It is upon this statement of Dr. Vasquez Gomez that the Mexican off cials are passing their hope of peace with out accession to the rebel chiefs demands. In official circles it is not assumed that the elder Madero has any great in1u- ence over his son. It is assumed how ever, that he represents Vasuuez and that he Is able to use the arguments of the man in Washington to convince Francisco I. Madero that peace should be arranged without demanding the imme- diate resignation of the president.
 If Madero does not in the end see the situation from this point of view 1t may mean a clash between him and Vasauez Gomez which might possibly result in factional fighting in the ranks of the rebels, one element favoring the argu- ments of the man in Chihuahua and the other those of the man in Washington.

GONZALES MAY
 NOW RESIGN

Mexico City, April S.-As a result of the formal protest to Minister of Fi- nance Limantour against and later to President Diaz by a committee of rep resentative and wealthy citizens of the state of Guanajuato, it is expected that Joaquin Obregon Gonzales, governor of that state, will present his resignation to the legislature. The committee ex- plained to President Diaz that they did not consider that the present governor was satisfactory and that they wanted provisional governor named until the date for the regular state election, when they themselves would select his successor. The president assured them that he would do all in his power to grant their wishes.
 The committee called the attention of the president to the fact that they were not representing the rebels In any manner that the revolution had not extended to the state of Guana- juato, but that independently of the revolutionary movement, they were de- termined to have voice in the conduct of their own state government. They asked that the provisional governor be instructed to take the initiative in reviewing at once the electoral laws of the state.

CHURCHILL SUES
 FOR DAMAGES

London, April s.-(Special.)-Fo sev- eral years Winston Churchill. the home secretary, has been annoyed by per sistent story that while he was Boer prisoner during the war in south Ali. rica he broke his parole and escaped. Today he took measures to prevent any further circulation of the story by bringing suit for islander against one Spencer, a political speaker, who during the recent elections repeated the cal umny. e
 MT. Churchil1s counsel declared to the court that there was not the slight est foundation for the story MT. Churchill had hitherto ignored it. but Its repetition for political purposes dur ing the last two elections had forced him to take the present action and de- mand damages as the most effective means of killing the story. The case ended by Spencer, the defendant, apol- ogizing. The judge then condemned him to pay damages in a nominal sum

 This will be the first opportunity given local fans to see the talent of Birming- ham colege-and of Sewanee, too.
