The office of poet laureate practical ly begins with Chaucer who assumed the title about 1885.

Red stars. ac- cording to the testimony of the spec troscope. differ widely in their consti tuition from white or yellow ones. and 1t has been thought that varying col ors may give clew to progressive changes In the heavenly bodies.

MistIetoe a Menace.

Few people who know mistletoe only as a desirable feature of Christmas decorations understand that the plant is q parasite dangerous to the life oi trees in the regions in which it grows It is only a question of time after mistletoe once begins to grow upon a tree before the tree itself will be killed. The parasite saps the life of the infected branches. Fortunately ii is of slow growth. taking years to de velop to large proportions, but when neglected it invariably ruins all trees 1t reaches. The only method of exter- imitation is the cutting down of dis eased trees.-EXchange.

|NSURRECTOS HAVE
PEACE PROPOSAL
Substance of Demands of Madero's
Men is Known-Want Places
in Cabinet.

Ell Paso, Tex, May /. = In a low
adobe house upon which the sun beat
fiercely, the leaders of the Mexican
insurrection, political and military, sat
for four hours Sunday in the insurrecto
camp formulating program to be
presented to the federal government
through its peace ENJOYS. At the con-
clusion of the conference, Francisco
l. Madero, Jr., president of the pro-
visional government, announced the
election by ballot of DR.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez, Francisco Madero,
Sr., and Senor Jose Pine Suarez as the
peace commissioners of the revolution
ary party.
The first obstacle, it is believed, will
be met when Senior Francisco Cara
bajal, head of the federal peace COM
mission, arrives here, which is ex-
pected to be tonight The insurgents
will want to know exactly what pow
ers have been bestowed upon Senior
Carabajal. 1t is understood here, for
instance, that Senior Braniff and Senior
0bregon, who have been go-betweens
in the negotiations will act with SeKor
Carabajal, but in what capacity is not
known to the insurrecto leaders.
Should it develop that Senior Cara
bajal is to be the sole envoy with plen-
ary powers, the insurrectos will invest
DR.. Gomez with similar credentials.
Francisco Madero, Sr., and Senior Pine
Suarez acting in an advisory capacity.
The insurrecto leaders are determin-
ed that formal negotiations shall not
begin until the federal envoy or en-.
yoys present credentials authorizing
them to act for the government.
The substance of the insurrecto de-
mands is known in a general way.
They insist on participation in gov
ernment affairs and point out that the
only way to guarantee it is to place
some members of their party in the
cabinet and to select at least dozen
of their supporters as provincial gov
ernors pending new elections.
One reason for the absence of any
discussion at present concerning Pres
ident Diaz's part in the forthcoming
transactions is the fact that there are
few here who believe in the presi-
dency. No one has accurances of any
designations but the insurrectos gen.
orally declare other hands are steer
ing the ship of state in the Mexican
capitol

STEEL SHIPMENT
MAY Be DELAYED
Failure of Carnegie Trust Company
Affects Building of Porter
Railroad

1t has been learned that the Porter
railroad has been handicapped by the
recent failure of the Carnegie Trust
company, in New York, which was
fiscal agent in this country for the
foreign company that is building this
road 1t is also said that $4,000 of
the companys funds was ON deposit
in the defunct trust company. 1t was
announced that as soon as a new fical
agent could be secured in this coun-
try, that the construction work would
proceed.
1t was reported that the steel for the
first forty miles of the road was to
have been shipped Immediately, but
owing to the failure of the proposed
to article 8, section 8, of
the state constitution, this shipment
was somewhat delayed The road is
graded now to Delaware.

INDEPENDENTS PREPARE TO
FIGHT STANDARD OIL

Tulsa, Okla, May 1.-The purchase
of million dollars worth of oil prop
erty from Charles Page, the million
aire Tulsa philanthropist, by William
Graham of California and Clifford B.
Harmon of New York, and associates,
marks the invasion of the southwest
ern territory of an immense independ-
ent oil refinery, to be operated in keen
competition with the Standard Oil COM
pany and its several affiliated pipe
line and transportation corporations,
operating in Oklahoma, Kansas and
Texas.
T. M. Harmon, brother of William
Harmon, arrived in Tulsa this week,
to arrange to take over the immense
Page holding May l, and it has been
announced that the refinery will be
built Immediately. 1t is unofficially
stated, from a reliable source, that
the refinery viii have a capacity Of
5000 barrels of crude oil a day, and
will cost more than the oil holdings
themselves, possibly as much as ST.
100000
The Graham-Harmon syndicate is in
position to offer the Standard Oil
company keen opposition for the trade
of the southwestern states, as they
start business with 1900 acres of prov
en- oil land with a daily production of
1000 barrels, which will be increased
to 5000 or $500 barrels as rapidly as
the necessary now wells can be drill
ed.
The exact location of the refinery
has not yet been selected, but it will
be located in, or near the city of Tul-
sa, possibly between here and the
Taneha oil field, seven miles south of
here. where the Page oil properties
are located.

cratic house had changed the rule re-
lating to motions to discharge COM
mittees and made the point of order
to Mr.. Underwood's motion to recess
that motion to discharge the pen
sion committee from consideration of
bill was on the calendar.
Mr. Underwood called Mr.. Dalzell's
attention to the new democratic rules
which contain an amendment provid-
ing that no motion to discharge com
mittee was in order on Mondays after
the call of the unanimous consent cal
endar unless it had been filed at least
seven days previously.
The motion of Mr.. Dalzell referred
to would have been but six days old
today.
Dr. Dalzell was compelled to refer
to the rules and then withdrew his
point of order.
The democratic leaders are anxious
to hasten the free list bill so that the
ways and means committee may be
free to devote its tine to the revision
of the textile schedules. While this
work is progressing it is probable the
house will act upon the report of the
territories committee on statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico
The New Mexican constitution has
been vigorously assailed by democrats
from the territory, but it is doubtful if
the committee will recommend any
changes which would necessitate the
reference of the constitution back to
the people of the state Both consti-
tutions probably will be recommended
for ratification.

FIRE At BANGOR
CAUSES BIG Loss
Loss of Property in Sunday Nights
Fire is Estimated at Six Million
Dollars.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Bangor, Me-, May Homeless, wet,
hungry and exhausted by the long
fight against flames, which last night
practically destroyed the third city, a
thousands of people faced the prob
lem of providing themselves with food,
shelter and clothing while the city and
state authorities began consideration
of plans for rebuilding. When dawn
broke hundreds of groups of men, wo-
men and children could be seen hud-
died around smoldering bon fires or
stretched along the edge of the smok-
ing ruins endeavoring to warm and
dry themselves. Although the rain
brought discomfort to the homeless,
it was the means of bringing under
control the great conflagration which
had ragged for more than seven hours
at eight O'Clock this morning. The
fire virtually extinguished the city,
the destroyed including some of the
III lliC iCSlQtuGS poI anu
all public buildings with the exception
of the city hall and the greater part
of the retail section. The loss of prop
erty is estimated at six million dollars.
The loss of life as far as known is con-
fined to two persons. Half a dozen
were injured Morning trains brought
food from outside, food supplies in the
retail district having been destroyed.
A company of militia is guarding little
heaps of property saved from the
| flames.
The fire started near the corner of
Broad and Union streets in the vicinity
OF the city hall at five o'clock yester-
day afternoon, and famed by high
wind the flames swept north along
Broad and Exchange streets. The
burned area includes forty city blocks.

SENATE MAY CAUSE DELAY
IN VOTE ON RECIPROCITY
Upper Body is Finally Organized Canadian
Reciprocity is Only Matter Being Considered
in Senate---Democratic Leaders are
Anxious to Hasten Free List Bill

Washington, D. c., May Three
weeks of the extraordinary session Of
the sixty-second congress having pass
ed into history with record of rapid
fire legislation by the house, the SEN
ate is finally organized, but in no
haste to consider that part of the dem
ocratic program already disposed of
by the lower branch.
Canadian reciprocity is the only mat
ter now being considered by the SEN
ate and that probably will not come
before it for several weeks. The
finance committee, to which it was re-
ferred, has determined to grant hear
ings on the bill How long committee
deliberation will be prolonged is prob
lematical, but the prospects for a
lengthy discussion are excellent.
Chairman Penrose of the committee
is in favor of the bill but the majority
are opposed to it. The prevailing opin-
ion is it will be reported without any
recommendation as was the case last
session. The committee will meet this
afternoon or Tuesday.
Senator Stone of Missouri will speak
on the bill today and endeavor to ex-
plain some Of the misrepresentation
that have been made regarding it. After
this speech there will be nothing be-
fore the senate and adjournment until
Thursday is probable, with further ad-
journment until Monday to follow.
There is no prospect of the senate
considering the house bills providing
for popular election of senators, pre-
election publicity of campaign contri-
buttons or reapportionment until the
reciprocity issue has been decided.
In the house the democrats are keep
ing up the legislative pace and most,
if not all, of the coming week will be
devoted to the farmers free list" bill.
Chairman Underwood demonstrated
his desire to hasten action and also to
give all members chance to be heard,
by insisting upon II o'clock as the
hour to convene instead of noon.
1t is probable that debate will be
closed Thursday or Friday. That it
will be passed there is no doubt, the
democratic support being almost solid
reinforced by the votes of a few pro
gressive" republicans.
Many members are smiling at the
forgetfulness of Representative Dal
zell of Pennsylvania, who on Satur-
day attempted to block the effort of
the democratic leaders to take a recess
until Monday to dodge the committee

ONE KILLED IN STORM
THAT SWEPT MISSOURI

Warrensburg, Mo-, May I'm a
terrific wind and hail storm, which
swept ten-mile path across northern
Johnson county from Fayetteville to
Valley City Saturday afternoon, so far
as reported one person was killed, an
other fatally hurt, more than score
of houses were unroofed, and as many
barns destroyed, and four homes were
entirely swept away
At the home of William r. Fain, a
mansion of ante-bellum days, the house
was blown to atoms, and Kelly Fain,
the ten-year-old son, was picked up
and carried quarter of a mile by the
wind and thrown against the ground
with such force that almost every bone
in his body was broken, and his brains
dashed out, The mother was also
struck by flying timbers and will die.
Fain and his children were return
ing home from the field when the storm
broke He told them to run to a cave
in the yard. Two children succeeded
in reaching the cave and were saved,
but the storm caught the little boy
and he was carried away before the
eyes of his family who were helpless
to save him
The storm came from the west, a
heavy black cloud forming almost in
an instant. Its path, almost mile
wide swept everything before it where
ever it struck the earth.
