MUST RESIGN
PRESIDENCY
Rebel Leader Has Given Chief
Executive "a Hours.
WILL THEN ATTACK JAUREZ
only Reply to Peace Proposal Sent
From Gen. Gomez in
Washington

FL Paso, Texas, April 21.-Unless
the federals make an attack on the
rebel army at Juarez, Francisco L.
Madero, Jr., said yesterday that there
would be no assault on Juarez until
3 o'clock this afternoon. If by that
time he had not received assurances
from Porfirio DiaZ that he will retire
from the presidency, Madero declared
that the attack on Juarez would take
place at once.
"All the federals want is time to
bring up reinforcements," he said
yesterday. 81 will give Diaz twenty
four hours TO resign"
This assertion was a reply to a
delegation OF FL Pasoans and to Con
zales Cara, secretary general of the
revolutionary junta, who carried a
message from DIR. Gomez in Wash
ington, asking for delay in the at
tack. %Diaz must surrender the pres
idency" This, Madero said, was his
final reply to all attempts to bring
about peace or truce of arms.

POWER. AT sHELeuRNE FALLS
Plans for Plants on Deerfield River
Being Completed.

After many months negotiations
for the development of the Deerfield
river water power at Shelburne Falls
are coming to a head. f. H. Oakman,
treasurer of the Lamson & Goodnow
Manufacturing company, said last
evening that he had recently receiv-
ed communication from Chase &
Hartman of Boston, the promoters of
the undertaking, to the effect that it
was their intention to begin opera
lions in Shelbourne Falls during the
present year The plan inclues the
building of two concrete dams and
two power stations. The first move
will be to replace the old wooden
dam with a new one of concrete.
Power will be transmitted to other
cities and towns AS the cost of
transmission must be paid for by the
companies who use the power in
other places, it will be to the manu-
facturers' interest to locate in Shell
burne Falls, where they will find ex-
cellent shipping facilities.
The inhabitants of the village are
very enthusiastic over the prospects
of a business boom, the magnitude Of
which has not been eQualed in years.

JEAN NETTE PUTS
OUT KUBIAK IN
THE NINTH
Another "White Hope" Out Of
the Running.
GIVEN HARD WALLOPING
Michigan Giant outcIassed from the
Start by CoIored
Pugiist

New York, April 2l-After pound
ing AL Kubiak for the greater part OF
nine rounds without any apparent re-
suits in the form of grogginess by the
Michigan giant Joe Jeanette put Al
down for the doleful count of ten at
the National Sporting Club last night
The finish came in the ninth round,
and it saved Kubiak from going
through four more minutes OF choice
walloping as Jeanette was finding
AIS jaw with more frequency as the
battle neared it's finish. The knock
out was unexpected, as Kubiak had
shown no previous signs of weaken
ing under the shower of blows,
The first round was little in fav-
or of Kubiak, but all the others be-
longed to jeanette AL made brief
rally just before the bell ended the
opening round, and planted three or
four hard punches on Joe's face, and,
as it was the only real work OF the
round, it gained Kubiak the slight
honors. Then he settled down to the
task of absorbing anything and every
thing that Jeanette had TO offer, and
he continued to take the punishment,
which came faster as the fight wore
on, until a series of wallops ended the
bout in the ninth. It required four
successive uppercuts, two with each
hand, to floor Kubiak, and there was
M doubt a hout the ctaan, behind the
punches. He rolled around while Ref
cree Patsy Haley counted four, and
then tried to rise. He was struggling
10 regain his feet when the final ten
was reached

LoNewoRTH FOR BERLIN POST
Ex-President's Son-ln-Law May Be
German Ambassador.

Washington, April 1.-While Pres
ident Taft has not decided definitely
upon a successor to Ambassador Hill
at Berlin, one name that he is ex-
pected to consider is that of Repre-
sentative Nicholas Longworth OF
Ohio.
Mr.. Longworth is understood to be
willing to enter the diplomatic SER
vice, having spent about all the time
he cares to in Congress or political
life
Both he and Mrs. Longworth, who
was Alice Roosevelt, are intimate
friends of the President. One objec-
ton might be made to the appoint
ment to such an important post as
that at Berlin, would be his inexper-
fence in diplomatic affairs.

SOME CLASSY VAUDEVILLE
Special Features at Library Theatre
Attracting Large Houses

The vaudeville acts that are being
put on at Library theatre during the
present week are proving an excellent
attraction. The act known as Welda
and Serena is undoubtedly one of the
greatest equilibrist acts on the road
today. Serana places several long
necked bottles directly on top of each
other and when he gets enough of
them stacked in the air he places a
lamp on top of same and balances the
entire string on the end of his nose.
This is only one of the principal
parts of his act. Patter Tom Wilson
the singing and talking comedian,
keeps the audience in a roar with his
funny sayings, and the Samuel How
ard company presents a fine comedy
sketch entitled "The Woman Halter"
that is a scream from start to finish.

Bill to Be Introduced Providing Penalty for
Managers of State Institutions Who Make
Expenditures Not Authorized by Law
--Cruce Message Showed Defc-
iencies Now Existing to
Amount of $685.
42963.

Oklahoma City, Feb. Cit is under
stood that a bill will be introduced
providing fine and removal from of
flee for a state official or persons
charged with the management of state
institutions, to make expenditures not
authorized by law The movement is
to thwart, if possible, the disposition
to incur expenses for the state which
have to be met by deficiency appropria-
tions.
A similar bill was offered in the sec
ond legislature and the penalty was
fixed at a term in the penitentiary.
The legislature, however, did not take
kindly to that idea. Under the pro-
posed plan, however the removal from
office shall be automatically effective
when an official exceeds the amount
appropriated for his departments or
institution, without authority of the
governor p"
A few days ago Governor Cruee sub
mitted a message to the senate show
ing that up to that time deficiencies
aggregated 1888 ,42963 Since then the
total has increased to nearly 100000
The largest item in the list is $127,-
902.03 for the state penitentiary at Nc
Alester, while the state reformatory
at Granite has deficiency of $685.
67749.
According to estimates furnished the
governor and by him transmitted to
the legislature, the state penitentiary
is asking $1S2, 500 for maintenance for
each of the next two years, and $321,-
700 more building money, and the Gran
ite reformatory is asking 100000 for
buildings and $9t $50 year for main
tenance. The total asked for by the
two penal institutions, including de-
ficiencies, reaches $1,534.179.52.

WILL BUILD STADIUM At
TULSA FOR CARL MORRIS

Tulsa, Okla, Feb 3.-Following the
announcement that Frank Ufer, mil
lionaire oil man, will develop Carl
Morris, hope of the white race" came
a statement yesterday from II. C. Pou-
der, manager of the Tulsa Athletic
Club, that the club will by March I be-
gin the erection of vast stadium with
a seating capacity of anyway $4,000
with the idea ultimately of staging a
worlds championship fight between
Morris and Jack Johnson.
Ufer prefers to have Morris do most
of his fighting here and the Tulsa
Athletic Club is prepared, according
to Pouder, to make satisfactory offers
for every fight. The stadium will have
a portable roof in order that whenever
desired to take moving pictures the
roof can be removed The stadium will
be a permanent structure and will be
so constructed that the capacity can
be enlarged if necessary.
Pouder said that he is being besieged
with letters from heavyweights, many
of whom are of national prominence,
asking for a match with Carl Morris
Among the big ones seeking a match
are Tony Ross, al Kubiak, Jim Barry,
jim Flynn and Con Comiskey
There is little danger of the legisla-
ture of Oklahoma setting its foot down
on prize fighting so long as this state
has a man within it's domain who looks
equal to the task of whipping the big
negro In no other part of the union
was the defeat of Jeffries taken more
to heart than in this state All Okla
homa wants the heavyweight cham
pionship restored to the white race
and no Instructions are likely to be
placed in the path of Morris
Ufer and Morris conferred today over
his camp which will be pitched" in a
few days. Ufer said that no prize
fighter in the world has had more com
plete training quarters than will be
provided for Morris. The camp will
be located close to the city.

Neal of Hennessey, and Frank Quinn
and J. ]. Beal of Union, the election
officials who have been arrested on
federal indictments charging them with
violation of the federal election laws
in preventing negroes from voting on
November last, Saturday were grant
ed continuance until next Wednes-
day, to plead. All have demurred to
the indictments, maintaining the fed
eral government is without jurisdic-
ton, and Smith and Jeffries also have
filed motions to quash for similar rea-
sons.
Fred P Branson, chairman of the
state central democratic committee,
and Attorney w. A. Ledbetter, were in
Guthrie Saturday morning in the in
terest of the accused men.
Discussing the situation Saturday,
Mr.. Branson says it is apparent the
federal authorities are trying to rail-
road the cases in order to handicap
the state in making a strong defense.
Mr.. Branson says the election Off
GERS under arrest from Kingfisher
county have not violated any law, and
that they followed the instructions
given to all election officers in the
state He says the state central dem
.ocratis committee and the state will
defend them and all others who may
