STOP FIGHTING
But 1t Is Feared That Rebel

By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
MEXICO CITY. May 1s.-Whether
the promise Of President Diaz and
vice-President Corral to resign be-
fore June 1. has come in time to re-
store peace throughout the country Is
the most important question under
consideration here today. Many close
students Of Mexican affair doubt It.
Madero and his followers and prob
ably the insurrectos In the north are
willing 10 lay down their arms. as
the Government, everything they have
been fighting for. But the entire
south Is aname. The States OF
Guerro, Morelos, Chipas and most Of
the south are hot-beds Of revolution.
Thousands Of insurreotos are under
arms there. These men hate and
distrust Madero. They have their
own grievances. growing out Of the
/ oppression Of the State Governors
and whether they will he willing 10
subscribe TO the peace terms offered by
the Diaz Government is a grave ques-
tion
Fear Trouble IN the South.
There is a general feeling IN the
capitol that. while peace in the
north will be restored within a month
II may be necessary for the Govern
ment TO adopt stern measures in the
south Today there was every indi-
cation that there is q common under
standing between Minister De La
Barra who is to be provisional Presi-
dent for six months pending the
election Of new President and Vice
President and Francisco I. Madero
With the proclaiming OF a FIVE days'
general armistice which will include
all of the Government forces in the
north and the Madero insurrectos,

So far as the people Of the capitol

the veteran soldier who has done so
much for the country Is not regretted.

ably on G. W. TayIOr'S $lO,-
100000 Comprehensive Plan

Plans for Boulevard from Elev-
enth and Market to Fourteenth and
Washington streets, including a new
municipal building and court house.
involving the expenditure Of about
s10.000.0OO have been drawn by
George w. Taylor, a local contractor.
The proposed boulevard is to be 100
feet wide and 1000 feet long and
while the cost is enormous Mr.. Tay-
lor contends that as the work will
extend over a number Of years, the
entire cost of the project will. Of
course, extend over that period.
That the entrance to the boule-
ward be directly opposite the new

ket street, proposing a curved line at
the northwest corner of Eleventh

The city erecting a modern City
Hall on the Court House Square.
The county buying the Winchester
property. bounded by Market King,
Tenth and Eleventh streets, and
erecting in the middle of the block a
modern and commodious Court
House.
The city acquiring all of the dou-
BILE block bounded by Orange, Tatnall.
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,
through which Chippey street now
runs, and through which the boule-
ward would pass by making it a recre-
alton square, with a band stand To-
Gated in the centre of the triangular
portion bounded by Orange and Thir-
teenth streets and the new boulevard.
The city acquiring the block bound
ed by Tatnall, West, Thirteenth and

through the former of which the
roadway would pass, and converting
the former into a juvenile playground

phoned her that he had received instruc-
lions to cancel the policy Immediately
and requested her TO forward it to him

agent called at the plaintiffs home and
asked to see four other policies that haC
been issued, and then took the policy II
