BAR INVESTIGATION
WILL Be DELAYED
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
AFTER APRIL COURT TERM
At Present Attorneys Are Busy Pre-
pairing Cases for Next Session-No
Time for Thorough Investigation
VIII Report by May 1st.

There will be no investigation of
ry and Watts in the St Dennis Watts
case by the executive committee of
the Umatilla County Bar association
until after the April term of court,
according to Charles II. Carter, presi-
dent of the association and chairman
of the investigating committee. He
stated that the attorneys are so busy
preparing the cases which are to
come up before the coming term that
they have not the time to devote to
thorough investigation and that
several of the attorneys on the COM
mittee, notably Judge James \. Fee,
are also very busy preparing briefs
for the eastern Oregon term of the
supreme court which meets in this
city the first part of May. 1t will be
the latter part of April before these
briefs are submitted to the hands OF
the printer so that it is not likely
that any report will be made to the
association by the committee much
before May l, which is the time limit
set by the association yesterday.
The committee consists of Presi-
dent Carter, Vice-president r. j. Sla-
ter, Secretary C. w. Coutts, Treasurer
VIII NJ. Peterson, and James A. Fee
: y. Nefberry, and Frederick Stei-
wer, members at large. Mr.. Peterson
will not serve, however, as he served
as attorney for II. I. Watts in the
suit Just what is the individual at
titude of these different members, il
is of course difficult to say authori-
tatively but it is quite generally pre-
dicted that two at least will stand
for drastic action. two for no action
at all, and the other two for either
drastic or no action, that is, they will
not stand for any halfway measure
one way or the other.
A number of people about the city
seem to have gained the impression
from yesterdays story that formal
charges were filed yesterday against
the lawyers in question. This was
not the case. Such charges as have
been made have been made orally and
were not made before the bar associ-
alton.
1t was discovered yesterday that
Watts is not n member of the local
bar association while Perry is.

san Antonio, Tex, March 31.-The
premature publication of reports that
Diaz had agreed to treat with the in
surgents for peace is believed TO have
resulted in negotiations. 1t is believed
that future moves will lie seoSt but
that the negotiations will proceed
just the same. There is no conceal
nent that friction exists among the
Madcro family. Madero senior wants
o. save his Mexican property while
his sons want to continue the fight, it
= said.
Mexico City, March 31.-Reports
emanating from points in the United
states that the Mexican government
intends 20 send a peace commission to
treat with a similar body representing
the rebels, have aroused a lively in
terest here, and the hope of verifi-
cation, but no government official has
been found who would admit the ex-
istence of any arrangements of this
character.
That the cabinet was reconstructed
IN the hope that the disaffected ele-
ments might be placated, and that
the government is contemplating rad
ical reforms for the same reason, is
beyond question: The government has
gone far in the matter of making
concessions. but the belief is growing
that President Diaz is not yet will
ing to recognize Madero and his fol-
lowers to the extent that he shall dis
cuss with them terms of peace.
Both foreigners and MeXicans are
ecutive will be slow to party with
those who have risen in revolt against
his administration. If peace negotia-
tions are to be conducted. it is be-
lieved that the initiative must come
/ from the rebels. According to state
ments made in the United States. the
opposite is the cas-.
In this city there are few that do
not hope the government and the
rebels will come to terms, but there
are many who believe the day of
peace is far off. 1t is pointed out that
the fact that the government has
shown a disposition to concede GER
/ tain things for which the rebels are
fighting has been an encouragement
to them to continue the campaign.
The government insists that the
change in the cabinet and the re-
forms contemplated have come, not
as answers made to demands by arm
ed men, but in response to a popular
move for altered conditions.
The revolutionists cannot see it in
just that light They feel that it
is because of their work in the field,
and appear to think that continued
rebellion viii bring them all they are
after, chief of which is the resigna-
ton Of the president and another ma
tional election
Francisco Madero, sr., has stated
he hopes to induce his son to agree
to terms of peace, and in this he is
seconded by Gustavo Madero, but re-
ports brought from the seat of war
are that Francisco Madero, jr., still
| insists that there can be no peace so
| long as President Diaz remains at the
head 81 the nation--and it is the
I younger Madero who is doing the
| fighting.
Juan sanchez Azcona, one of the
revolutionary advisers. has pointed
out that the elder Madero is not ex-
/ actly the one to determine the terms
! Of peace or method of arriving at a
/ satisfactory agreement; that he has
| taken no active part in the revolution.
