President Taft has written letter
to Chairman Flood. of the House Com
mittee on Territories in which he has
probably headed off the movement to
relieve the Executive Of either APPROX

tuition.
1t was the plan of Mr.. Flood and his
associates to introduce a joint resolu-
ton in the House providing that the
Arizona enabling act be so amended
that the President is not called upon to
pass upon its constltutionality or prac-
ticability This joint resolution. how

the President, and II IS the Presidents s

forty-two, an employe of the park de-

could not secure release from the mai

ten years ago. The suicide gives the
age-old human triangle-two women
and one man-another victim.
Mrs. Fannie Henry. the woman Whom
Schooler loved, is heart-broken over the
tragedy. She said she had been reaoy
to marry Schooler as soon as he had
secured his divorce, but attempts lie
had made in that direction. had been
futile. He could not learn the Where-

situation did not occur to the President
at the time the proposition was first
presented to him. 1t was the distinct
understanding Of Mr.. Flood and Mr..
Houston that the President thought well
of the amendment scheme.
Since that conference, however, the
President has thought the whole thing
over and he does not see how he can

Hamilton's Plan.
Representative Hamilton, former
chairman Of the House Committe on
Territories was in conference with the
President today about the Arizona con-
stitution and 1t was learned after he
left that he had an idea which would
result in the PRONUNCIATION of the In
strument without recall provisions
being effective.
Just hom the former chairman expects
to do this was not made quite clear.
1t Is known however, that he does not
want the people Of the Territory put
to the expense of new constitutional
convention and new election. He
talked all this over with the President
this morning.

Flower Supply Assured.

The spirit of Easter. of joyousness
and happiness is on every side; in the
: downtown shops, especially the florist
establishments, and in the parks, where
nature is doing her best to spread her
carpets of green.
AS usual, the promenaders of the
afternoon are expected to turn out in
force along Connecticut avenue, Penn

way at Potomac Park.
Along the streets of the shopping dis
trict, and in many of the larger shops
one may see again evidences of the
season in the flower decorations and
displays of spring styles of latest color
and design.
Florists announced today that never
before have they been so pressed for
flowers as this year. AS usual the lily
and the azalea are the favorites, al
though arbutus and violets are much In
demand. Despite the heavy demand for
flowers, the supply is believed to be suf-
ficient for the first time in several
years, and there is little likelihood of a
shortage unless shipments, already or
derd for tomorrow and Saturday. fail
to arrive.

Insurgent Leaders
Growing Impatient
For Reply From Diaz

M Paso, May 6-The insurgent
leaders across the river are anxiously
awaiting the reply Of Porfirio Diaz TO
Francisco Madero'e ultimatum de-
manding immediate public assurances
of his retirement from the Presidency
of Mexico.
Madero says that. unless he gets
the assurances from Diaz quickly, he
will be unable to hold back his fol-
lowers at Juarez later than tomor-
row. The revolutionary leaders whose
pressure on Madero compelled him to
Issue his ultimatum are growing very
impatient and insist that Diaz must
send his reply before tomorrow Judge
Carbaja1, the Diaz envoy, when seen
here today, protested not to have re-
ceived Diaz' reply. He stated, last
night, that he had not yet submitted
the question Of Diaz' retirement to his
government, but this statement is
generally regarded as a diplomatic
evasion"
Advices from Mexico City are unani-
nous In expressing the belief that the
retirement Of Diaz is near. The Mex
lean residents there, the dispatches
say, are evidently sure of this as they
have been parading the streets crying

CLEVER ENGLISH
WOMAN SPEAKS ON
EQUAL SUFFRAGE

The Bridgeport Equal Franchise
league held a very interesting meeting
in the Board of Trade rooms in the
Newfield building, yesterday after
noon.
Mrs. William r. Hopson gave
splendid talk on municipal suffrage
for women, showing the value that
would be derived from women's SER
vice on the several boards Of the city.
Mrs. Hopson expressed pride in
Bridgeport as a great Industrial city,
but said 1--WE must have a city beau
tiful and not city ugly
Miss Lewis told of the school con-
ditions in Greenwich. Three hundred
children In that town are in danger
of having no schooling this year. In
the New England state only one wom-
an out of every eleven marries, leav-
ing ten women free from home duties.

woman's children are grown and out

years of practically working to do.

We are told the ballot will tend to
make woman neglect the home. Mrs.
Porritt of Hartford gave an English
woman's idea of suffrage, hitting
keenly and amusingly some of our
American ways. An American thinks
of the Englishwoman as always wear
ing a. immocle in one eye, forgetting
that he himself is wearing two mon
ocles one in each eye, through which
he cannot even see. as they, are made
of the silver dollar. The American
has also a great motto, Mind your
own business and he obeys it go
well that he forgets the little children
In Hartford many of the houses are
not provided with baths and she had
one case of a girl of Is who had never
had bath. They gave her the
chance and she considered it the
greatest trial of her life. Ten per cent
of the public money is spent on police
protection in Hartford, thirteen per
cent on fire protection and one tenth
of one mill on bathing protection and
that entirely for boys.
Most of the children of Hartford go
to the public school and your child
may sit next to child who has
never had a bath. When Mrs. Porritt
was little child a terrible epidemic
of typhoid fever broke out in the
English village where she lived, she
had the fever, her little sister dying.
and in more thickly settled part of
the village there was not a home that

the home.
Mrs Porritt also gave some very
interesting facts of the origin of COM

UNCLE SAM WAITING FOR
ACTION UNTIL DIAZ MAKES
DEFINITE ANSWER TO MADERO.

washington, May 6-The attitude Of
the United states in the Mexican sit
uation, today, hinged upon the deci-
sion Of Diaz in answer to Maderos
demand that he resign.
The United States is now and for
months has been ready to act instan-
taneously If invasion should be or
dered by President Taft who will take
such q step only in the last extremity.
The President and other high Off
cials are greatly disturbed by the
latest reports of the internal situa
ton In Mexico and there was evidence
of tension throughout official circles.
President Taft is still hopeful that
peace will be established and the con-
f1dence that Washington off1cia1dom
has In Foreign Minister De La Barra
is an important factor. If Diax re-
tires and De La Barra succeeds him,
pending an election, Uncle Sam will
be satisfied for the present. AS Mex
lean Ambassador here, De La Barra
won the friendship of President Taft
and Secretaries Knox and Dickinson
and other high officials.
Every detail necessary for inter-
vention. however, has been arranged
as a result of the recent reports from
Ambassador Wilson at Mexico CITY

There Is increasing fear that Diaz

today, but those close to the aged

words have already constituted an
emphatic negative reply to Madero.
