tured by force Of 800 revolutionists un-
der local leaders.
1t is reported that battle is in prog
ress at San Juan de Guadalupe in the
State of Durango. The attacking par
ties are said to be members Of Moyas'
band. From alf accounts the band is the
most dangerous of all the combinations
which are working against the public
peace.
The band has been operating under the
command Of Aga Pieto Banahuelos. On
Saturday morning, in drunken riot, the
men fought among themselves, six of
them being killed. During the same day
Aga Pieto Banahuelos was killed by two
of his men. One of these was afterward
killed by partisans of the leader.
On the following day Dioncio Salas,
the manager of the Alamo ranch, denied
the rebels corn and money. He was
roped and dragged 500 feet by one of the
mounted men of the attacking party and
badly cut up with a machete.

said DIR. Woodrow.
II understand that the cadets have
been in the habit of escorting to their
social functions girls whose moral char
acter was not what It should have been
and that, of course. is wrong. But any
woman of integrity and purity has as
much right in the exclusive precincts OF
a government institution as a queen Of
fashion or of leisure, and. II she tolls
for an honest living, more honor is due
her for that fact.
"A girl who would prefer to earn her
own living is entitled to more reverence
in my opinion than one who Is content
to let family or friends support her and
who takes an elegant ease and does moth
ing for the advancement Of the race,
DIR. Woodrow added.
II stand for the fullest recognition OF
the respectable working girl everywhere
in broad America" DR.. Woodrow said
with much emphasis.
Representative Korbly announced last
night that he intends to write another
letter to Secretary Meyer asking for the
facts IN the case. II he fails to get a
satisfactory reply. he said that he would
introduce a resolution calling for the
entire official correspondence in the case.

BY OTHEMAN STEVENS.

Mexico City, April 23.-Secre-
tary of Foreign Relations de la
Barra is in receipt to-day of further
kilograms from DR.. Gomez, which
I understand are of a tranquilizing
nature.
1t is the belief of the government
that peace will be formally declared
in two weeks time.
MADERO AwAKENS.
Madero is finding that the new policy Of
the government is nearly identical with
what he has been fighting for, and is be-
ginning to be convinced of the sincerity
Of Ministers de la BaNa and LimantOur.
The general amnesty. that is TO follow
the arriving at agreement, will be fol-
lowed, I am able to say on authority, by
determined effort on the part OF the
ministry to create political parties with
platforms of principles similar to the
political machinery of parties in the
United States. The ministerial authority
for this said:
ITO make peace effective we must re-
move from the political field any man on
horseback. Our project is to bring about
the creation of real parties based on
political principles and not on personal
identities or momentary heroes.
We have reason TO believe that peace
will be formally declared in two weeks
time; after that the efforts OF the gov
ernment will be directed toward the
creation of parties.
Leading politicians of varying creeds
will be invited to conferences, and will
he encouraged to construct central COM
mittees of their parties with a branch
working in every State and district.
Change Politics.
BY this means we expect to rehabili-
tate the political scheme in Mexico, and
make II a country of contests by reason
of propaganda. The personal element. the
presence in politics of captains. has been
nearly the ruin of the country.
I'VE have learned our lesson, and
from now on the fighting here will be
done in regular conventions. and not in
the field There will be an open field
Discussions will be open TO all parties
ana as soon dS the IldS SOHt
enough to Justify 1t, conventions will be
urged for the preliminary canter over the
free political course"
The government feels greatly irritated
over the premature disclosure of the note
given by the Mexican foreign Office in
reply to our governments notes regard
ing the Aqua Prieta mix-up. Expressions
of surprise and regret at the disclosure
have been sent TO our State Department,
intimating that an explanation would be
acceptable and due to the dignity of the
Mexican government
Even If Madero should fly the coop
now and smash the negotiations, l doubt
very much II his revolution would con-
tinue to assume any serious proportions.
The government, through de la Barra
and Limantour, has proved its capacity,
and to-day. instead of being sick of the
government, the people seem to be sick
of the war

WOULD SEGREGATE
ALL bad" NEWS
Rev. Zed H. Copp Wants Spe-
cial Editions Printed.

Publication of sensational and criminal
news in special editions of newspapers
was the plea of Rev. Zed H. Copp, in
a sermon at Bethany Chapel last night.
The adoption by tile newspapers of such
a policy would. he said. prevent the
contamination of youthful minds and re-
lieve parents of the necessity Of censur-
ing a paper before allowing children to
see ii.
He said that society segregates wrong
doers for the benefit of its members, but
nevertheless permits that accounts of
crimes. pictured in highly colored words.
should come to the fireside in the daily
papers. Mr.. Copp announced that he
would keep up the movement for the seq
regation of criminal news in publications
by advocating his plan before the various
religious organizations and civic better
ment associations of the District.

ARMISTICE Is EXPECTED
BY BOTH ARMY LEADERS

El Paso, April 23.-The armistice be-
tween the insurrectos and the federals
has been extended for another five days.
The time dates from this afternoon at
l:30 o'clock, when Francisco /. Madero
to that, Gen. Navarro. commanding the
federal troops in Juarez, had already
signed the document
The agreement provides that there will
be no fighting during the term of the
armistice, and that each side will take
no further steps to re-enforce or con-
struct fortifications while it's terms are
In operation.
The insurrectos are to be given per-
mission to take food for themselves and
horses, also clothing, from Ell Paso or
Juarez without molestation. These sup
national bridges between El Paso and
Juarez without payment Of duty to the
federal officials of Mexico.
The peace negotiations are to be car
ried on from Ell Paso. DR.. Gomez, in
charge of the Washington agency of the
insurrectos, is expected to come here at
once. The Madero family is now here,
and Oscar Braniff and Esquivel Obregon,
congressman from Mexico City. have
been here for several days representing
President Diaz.
Having found that the army will soon
be disbanded, labor contractors are be-
ginning to arrive here to hire men for
railroad work. One man, who hires thou
sands Of men every month, believes he
will be able to place several thousand
men on railroad track work IN the United
States in a few days.

Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs Taft have
both taken rather advanced ground and
often received as friends and social
equals young ladies who have earned
their living" DIR. Van Schaick said.
Continuing, he said: THE suggestion
that some one even remotely associated
with domestic service has been invited to
a hop at Annapolis fills me with horror
Such an intrusion into the sacred pre-
cincts of that time-honored ballroom can
not but cause the blood of all patriots to
secthe and boil with indignation. The su-
perintendent of the Academy and the Sec
retary OF the Navy should take prompt
action No fiimsy excuse that the one re-
ferred to comes of an ancient and hon
ored lineage can be tolerated. What
needs to be dragged into the light OF day
is the ugly fact that she 'toiled' for a
living and as a companion.
LAS a people we cannot be too careful.
The future officers of the navy must be
guarded from all Communicating In
fiuences. The unhappy day may dawn for
America when a midshipman may marry
a teacher of domestic science or a private

Bad Roads Cost Millions of Dollars.

How the people of the United states
lose millions of dollars every year
through bad roads is graphically told
by an Imperial automobile driver of
Atlanta, after completing an Is days
trip around Georgia.
I'VE were gone eighteen days and II
rained every day but two. We were in
mud from one to two feet deep five
miles at time. We passed through
stretches of water without even see-
Ing the road for three and four hun
dred yards at time. We went
through one place that was so fright
fully severe on an automobile that no
car ought to be sent into ii. We saw
at least n dozen cars that had to be
pulled out, but luckily the Imperial
was not one. Those roads were prac-
tically impossible for and kind OF
vehicle except powerful motor cars.
Farmers could not take their produce
to market through such quagmlres.
Commerce Is almost stopped by the
awful condition of the roads. The
cost Of living is actually boosted by
the extra money 1t takes to get goods
to market through such roads.
THE Imperial was out eighteen days
without a wrench or any tool being
used on the car, and fortunately We
didn't even have puncture."
