]. ?. ROADS HELD
TO 2-CEhT RATE
Senator Moriarity Makes Intellectual
Stand on Behalf Of the
Corporations.
tFrom a stan Correspondenp. 1.

LANSING, Mich, April 19.-The
Lucas-Symonds bill, providing for
twocent fares In the upper PENN
sula, passed the senate on third read
ing Tuesday afternoon, after Senator
Moriarity had made an unsuccesstul
effort to raise the rate to two and q
half cents. Moriarity's amendment to
that effect was defeated by vote OF
l6 to l5. II was a battle between
the three upper peninsula members,
both Senator James and Senator
Fowle bucking Moriarity.
Moriarity, during the heat OF the
argument. declared that Fowle for
merly was two and a half cent man
but switched his views TO the two
cent side son after he conceived the
idea that he could beat out Frank
Knox for congress. Fowle declared
that Moriarity was espousing the
cause of the corporations against the
+. interests of the people. Both Fowle
and James were armed with masses
OF figures from the railroad co.nmis-
sions office showing that the upper
peninsula roads, in many cases.
learned more per mile than some lines
operating under the two-cent fare
law in the lower peninsula. The bill!
. which passed. provides that only
those roads earning at least $1,000
per mile shall come under the pro-
visions of the law.
Senator Collins bill. requiring state
institutions to purchase bituminous
coal mined in Michigan. passed the
senate, after II was taken from the
table. Senators Miller and White
yh nnnnoa6
Senators Collins and Leidlein brought
the others In line.
II required some oratory on the
part OF Senator Mapes TO chop out or
the bill introduced by Rep. Verdier
for the purpose OF giving the Kent
judicial circuit another Judge, some
amendments which had been made
by the judiciary committee. The
members of the committee who are
opposed to the appointment or more
circuit judges, and favor the rotation
plan suggested BY Senator Wander
werp in his bill, amended the Nerdler
bill so that four judges from other
circuits would officiate in the seven
teenth which embraces Grand Haplds
and Kent county. The Verdier Dill
pissed on third reading.
All bills which were not cleared on
tae general order today, and those
which were reported out by the COM
mittee will be considered as having
passed the committee Of the whole.
and will come before the senate only
on third reading. About 55 are LETT
on the general oredr. and about
dozen were reported out by various
committees this afternoon.

DIAz IS WILLING
TO STEP DOWN TO
END REVOLT
Negotiations To End War in Mexico
Are on Between Foreign Minister
De La Barra and Dr.. Gomez,
Of Revolutionary Junta.
De La Barra Is Confident He Can
Arrange Armistic-He May Be
President Temporarily.

MEXICO CITY, April 19.-With
President Diaz and his cabinet and
the Madero revolutionary officials iu
touch and endeavoring to reach an
understanding regarding the terms OF
an armistice, to be followed oy a
general agreement for ending the
revolution, the necessity for immedi-
ate congressional action has disap-
peared. Because of this the bill au-
thorizing new general election for
all officials will not be pressed at
present. as 1t Is feared IL might com
plicate the situation.
The negotiations to end the war
are now in the hands OF Foreign Min
lister De La Barra,. and the head OF
the Mexican revolutionary juntx 80
Washington. DR.. VasQuez Gomez.
Prior to coming here to assume his
new duties, Senior De La Barra
reached an understanding with Gomez
on the insurgent demands, and Presi-
dent Diaz has practically agreed to re-
tire from the presidency II no other
step will bring about peace.
Minister De al Barra was appar-
emily confident today that he would
be able to arrange the armistice 80
that IL would go into effect possibly
by next Friday. He was also max
ing arrangements to protect all for
eigners while, the peace negotiations
are pending.
He insisted that the government
was prepared to meet the insurrecto
leaders half way. and, as he knows
the terms for which Gomez will hold
out, It was believed that he would not
have taken this position IL he had not
felt confident that no insurmountable
obstacles would be raised.
Persons familiar with the situation
said today that the peace terms viii
probably include the resignation Of
Diaz within six months, the naming
of De La Barra as provisional presi
dent, and the general revision OF the
election laws, so that the people may
actually name the new president.

Senators who have been looking
forward to a pleasant summer In Mar
quette, just when 1t begins to get
warm, for the purpose Of trying the
Warden Russell impeachment case,
were given a cruel disappointment
yesterday, when they gathered round
and heard Secretary Chilson read the
law of impeachments. There II was
learned that the trial must be held In
the state capital. The senate will 60
ahead with the trial Immediately after
final adjournment, May 2.
II was necessary to go back to a
dusty volume of 1872, one Of three
chronicling the impeachment OF State
Land Commissioner Charles A. Ed
monds, to get the form Of procedure.
Henry p. Baldwin was governor then.
A special law was passed to govern
the impeachment proceedings. and
there never has been occasion to al
ter II, for there has not been another
impeachment in the 80 years. The
volume containing the outcome OF the
I, trial was not available, and the old.
est inhabitant does not remember
whether Edmonds was found guilty
or not.
The law requires that the proceed
ings shall be brought by the house
and tried by the senate; that the
house shall elect three managers to
conduct the trial. The attorney-gen'
eral has nothing to do with the pro
cedure except to give information
The court Is to be organized the day

for VIM. Thum, the man.
Two days after his election, Mayor
elect Thun submitted to an inter
view. He didn't like 1t. but he was
game. Quietly and without affecta-
ton he voiced his views, which, while
unique, show wonderful insight into
the problems of the day.

ing greater individualism through the
application of a measure of Social

ernment and municipal ownership and
a whooping big income tax But tho
real solution of all these problems
must be In the school"
Once Mayor-elect Thum wrote a
book. In 1t he advocated that the
high school studies be changed. He
would have the boys trained in vari-
GUS branches of government, not in
theory only, but by giving each a
small position in the government and
letting him gain practical knowledge
while he studied theory. He figured

would rather see the cities try out
municipal ownership with, say. two
things-electriclty and water. AS
these two branches are perfected,
then let the cities take hold of other
things"
Mayor Thum is limiting himself to
an expenditure Of $500 a year. al
though his income is probably 10
times that. The rest he is saving
to use when he tries to advance his
ideas in government reform. He
won't try II while he Is in office-he
will have too many things TO do.
