vor Last Thursday In April.

mittee on rules, who introduced re-
Gently Joint resolution providing for

The proposed amendment Of the
Constitution of the United States
changes the date of the inauguration
from March 4, usually an Indictment
day In Washington. to the last Thurs

REBELS REFUSED AT FEE
Capital Are in Danger-French
Troops May Stay Out.

Tangier, Morocco, May 9.-The reb-
els attacked Fee fiercely on May 5, but
were repulsed with loss of a hun
dred killed besides a large number
wounded Raisuli is quoted as saying
that the Christians in the city are not
safe in the event of its capture. He
adds that anything may happen.
Berlin, May 9.-Germany has warned
France of the dangerous consequences
which would be likely to follow the
occupation of Fee by French troops.
Further than this the government has
taken no step, though watching de-
velopments in Morocco closely.
In view of the hint from Berlin 1t is
believed here that the French flying
column from the southwest, which has
been hurrying to the relief Of Fee,
will be halted outside the capital.

HALT ON R0CKEFELLER'S
FOUNDATION Project
Attorney Generals Opinion Is Thai
Plan Is UnfriendIy to interests
Of United States.

Washington Attorney General
Wickersham, in an opinion given to
the president, has condemned the
Rockefeller foundation as unwise and
inimical to the interests OF the United
States, inasmuch as 1t is calculated to
perpetuate the huge fortune which
John D. Rockefeller has amassed.
AS a result, 1t is believed the bill
creating the foundation will be vetoed
If it Is sent to the president for sigma
ture.
Mr.. Wickersham holds that the in
evitable result of such an incorpora-
ton would be not only to keep intact
the millions of John d. Rockefeller
for his descendants, but to continually
increase this wealth in the hands OF
few, regardless of what philanthropic
motives might have inspired the plan.
Further objection is made to the
creation Of corporation with powers
80 broad that its directors might take
any action they chose in furtherance
of what they might consider the pro-
iictioh vi Plo6iCos, oubJSN'
only to congress right to repeal the
charter
Senator Gallinger introduced the
bill, and two weeks later had 1t re-
ported favorably from committee. or
the incorporators and first board OF
directors, two were Mr.. Rockefeller
and his son, and two others his per-
sonal representatives, thus giving the
Rockefeller interests control as long
as they desired TO hold It,
No restrictions were placed on their
procedure, except that the charter
might be annulled and that they
should each year report to cabinet
office what work the corporation had
done
Hence, the power granted, Mr.. Wick
ersham believes, is entirely too great to
be placed IN the hands of any set OF
individuals. His stand in the matter
doubtless will set a precedent which
will work to prevent the perpetuation
Of individual fortunes in the future by
corporate means.

FUMES FELL FIREMEN
FoRTY-THREE ARE OVERCOME
BY pRuoGED SMOKE.
Comrades Drag All From Storeroom,
Where Blaze Breaks Out Among
Chemicals.

Chicago, MAY 9.-Forty-three fire.
men were overcome by smoke as re-
suit of a fire in the Merchants build
ing. West Washington and North La
Sale streets. The total property loss
Will not exceed $4,000.
The fire is said to have been caused
by an explosion of chemicals In the
basement storeroom of the George H.
Navy drug store. There was little
blaze, and when the firemen arrived
occupants of the building sought
places In windows and on lodges and
prepared to watch them. The chemi-
Gals In the basement, however, spread
the flames and sent volumes OF smoke
up the elevator shafts and through the
Railways.
A few minutes after the apparently
trifling blaze had been discovered fire.
men were carrying out their COM
rades one after another; another
alarm had been sent in, and women
and men employed in the building
were hurrying to safety.
In all. forty-three reeled from the
effects of the fumes and smoke into
the arms of other firemen and were
carried to an improvised hospital on
the sidewalk across the street.
There were many instances OF hero
ism. Charles Jacobson and John
Erickson, elevator men, remained in
their cars until every person was out
Of the building, although small
panic followed the realization that the
fire was spreading from the basement.
More than one hundred persons de-
scended in the lifts, among them forty
girls employed on the third floor.

RECIPROCITY BILL
ABOVE POLITICS
Taft Tells Farmers He Will Push
the Plan.
INDUCES IN PLAIN TALK
President Says Canadian Agreement
Must Go Through Even II Repub-
lican Party Does Lose Some
Votes.

Washington, May 9.--President Taft
INDUCED in some plain talk in explain
ing to 25 members of the National
Grange that he does not intend to play
politics with the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, even If the enactment Of
that measure by congress costs him
the farmer vote.
The president said he was sorry to
hear that Republican farmers would
desert the party If the agreement goes
through, but that fear of such deser-
ton would not change his conviction
as to the wisdom of such legislation,
He said he believed reciprocity to be
the best thing for the whole country
and that he did not intend to argue it..
n. p. Hull spokesman for the farm
ers, intimated strongly that Repub-
lican votes are likely to be lost if reci-
procity is passed
If reciprocity goes through he
said, 'it means that we must take less
for our wheat and less for our prod
ucts and will injure the Republican
states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont.
Taft Uses Plain Talk.
II have no disposition to interfere
with the prosperity of those who make
up the bone and sinew of our popula-
tion-the farmers-and l am con-
vinced that am in no way interfering
with it," said the president. IF am
if we carry through this treaty and 1t
turns out that 1t does produce injury,
it can be repealed by single con-
gress. l am convinced that after it
has been given one years trial
neither side will think of reversing it.
That is my conviction. cannot go
into an argument.
You say that Republican farmers
are going to desert us if we put that
through | am sorry If that be the
case, Because l have personal liking
for the Republican farmers a little
mite stronger than for the Democratic
farmers, although they are all citizens
of the United States.
But my conviction with respect to
the advantage of this treaty Is deep.
So far as the effect Of this on my per-
sonal political fortunes 1t ought not to
influence me and does not influence
me in the slightest. l believe this
treaty to be the best thing for the
whole country, including farmers, mer-
chants, laboring men, and all"

JUAREz IS SPARED;
O|Az TO RESIGN
issues Manifesto Telling of In
tention to Quit.
STOPS ATTACK ON CAPITAL
Rebel Leader Halts Army OF 10000
Marching on Mexico City When
He Hears Of Presidents
Promise.

Me,Lco City.-In a manifesto to
the Mexico people President Dia2
announced that he will resign his Of
fee so soon as peace shall be re-
stored, thus virtually acceding to the
demands of Francisco !. Madero, Jr.,
that he make public announcement OF
his intention to retire from the presi-
dency.
AS to when peace is actually re-
stored General Diaz reserves the rlght
to be the Judge. In the words or the
manifesto, it will be when, according
to the dictates of my conscience, m
sure that my resignation will not be
followed by anarchy"
The president declared that his de-
termination not to relinquish the pres
idency at this time was not due to
vanity or love OF power, because. as
he pointed out, power at this time had
no attraction, accompanied as 1t is by
tremendous responsibilities and worry
He said he was prompted solely by
desire to conserve the best interests
Of his country.
The president made It clear that he
does not propose to abandon the presi-
dency while his country Is at war and
that he would not do so at any time
under compulsion.
Ell Paso, TeX.-Two hours before
word came from Mexico City that
General Diaz had announced his
intention of resignation the Mexican
rebel army had begun breaking camp
around Juarez, preparatory to march
ing upon Mexico City, capital Of the
republic.
Madero's announcement OF the pro
posed march southwark and his aban-
donment Of the proposed attack on
Juarez was due to his fear of compli
cations with the United States, II the
international border warfare Is con
tinued. His order directed all revolu-
tionists to withdraw from the from
tier.
In a manifesto to his army he cited
the Douglas (Ariz.) incident and de-
clared that, while the taking of Juarez
might be an immense military advan-
tage, 1t would bring about compiled
tons with a nation (which has always
given us proofs Of its friendship and
with whom an international conflict
would be probable.
