Madero All Powerful

President Madero is the only man au-
 thorized to conclude any armistice." said
 Senor Garza. He holds his authority
 because he represents the will of the peo- pie. Dr. Francesca Vasquez Gomez, the
 insurrecto representative at Washington,
 CT a member of Madero's family, would
 be able only to suggest a plan.
 The only president of Mexico that we now recognize is Francisco l. Madeira. Pro-
 posals for peace would be considered by
 us only on condition that Madero be
 allowed to participate. He must be given
 guarantee of safety to all his men. A place would have to be assigned to him, perhaps Chihuahua, in which he might conduct peace negotiations. Mediation on the part of the United States, or any other foreign power, would
 not be acceptable to us.' Suppose on a rev ballot President Diaz should again be elected, would he then be acceptable to the insurrectos?' Senor Garza was asked. Yes, we would accept him, but he never would be elected on free ballot. We have no faith in him. Madero would be elected
 Garza's demands are as follows: "Abolition of the election of the President.
 "Election Of governors In state fn- stead of federal appointment. "Curtailment of the powers of the iefe politicos or mayors of cities and pro- vision for their selection by popular
 vote instead of by appointment by the governors of states. Reform of the land laws, so that plantations now as extensive as from
 one million to ten ns.iion acres may
 be divided and distributed, or sold in
 small lots to the people. Free ballots in all elections and preservation of individual rights un- der the constitution. "Extension of the school system" Senor Garza suggested that Chihua hua City probably would be the point
 at which negotiations would be con
 ducted

 This Is the reply of Senor Gonzales Garza, the pinsurrecto secretary of state, to the statement from New York that Senor Limantour, the Mexica minister of finance. had formulated tentative plans for ending the instruction and in ef- feet it is the reply of Francisco I.

Francisco Madero is looked upon as the revolu- tionary president and as representing the will of the insurrectos and no peace plans will be entered into until he has given his consent and fully gone over the details, Senor Garza said.

 The importance of Senor Lmantour's return to the capital of Mexico, 1t was said here tonight, lies in the fact that coincident with certain changes In the cabinet of President Diaz other reforms will be instituted in the local admin istration of various states calculated to appease the reyolutionists,
 The fact that changes are t0 be made In the Mexican cabinet is no longer a secret in Mexico or in Wash ington where the state department un- officially has been so informed. The embassy here declined to discuss the subject of possible changes but the revolutionary party commented freely upon the latest sugges ions emanating from Mexico City in the republic.

Horseback Riding at Summer Re- s0rts--Mrs. White to Be
 Hostess-Engagements s. Announced
By MYRTLE MILES

Horseback riding is the fad of the mo- :nent at Southampton, where so many fashionable customers have their sum mer homes. Commenting upon this, Town and Country of this week pub fishes the following:
 Southampton. according to the young people. is dull at present, and perhaps for that reason everyone is taking riding lessons from two masters who are busy in the saddle from early morning until dinner time with ambitious pupils who wish to master the art of putting horse over a f7ve-barred fence without coming a cropper on the other side. The Misses Chisholm, two exceedingly pretty blonde girls with complexions of wondrous white ness considering their out-of-door. life. have little of equestrian lore to learn. They are abroad each morning not long after the birds have breakfasted and while the dew still moistens the lanes. Other riders who have not much need of lessons in horesmanship are Mrs. JoI seph Stilman and her three daughters, Miss Nicoll, the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Benjamin Nicoll Miss Otis, the grand daughter of Mrs. A. M. Hoyt, who this summer is occupying Claverack, the Bar Der cottage at Halsey's Neck; the Misses Taylor, two accomplished equestriennes stopping at Mrs. George Curtis's place in Captains Neck Lane, and Miss Dorothy Arents of Windycote Miss Agnes Edgar rides gracefully, but she has a new elec- tric runabout which she manages very cleverly and in which she goes about with her mother, with Miss Beatrice Clafiin or some other intimate girl friend"

GOSSIP OF ALABAMIANS
 VISITING IN WASHINGTON
BY WALTER HARPER

1 short breathing spell before the regular boys who are serving here as clerks and secretaries are holding out very well, but they are getting mighty homesick for a mess of good old home cornbread and buttermilk
 | I had the pleasure of being presented to President Taft a few days ago, and ] have reason to long remember the experi- ence with pleasure. After grasping my | hand in that cordial, wholesouled way of his and then passing on to shake hands and pass a few words with other Alabama callers who were there to invite | the executive to the Selma fair and the meeting of the Alabama Good Roads as- sociation, MT. Taft came back to ask me about some of the people he met in Birmingham during his visit there last year. He asked personally about several of the Birmingham citizens he met on that occasion. and declared that he would always remember Birmingham people kindly.
 That smile on Mr. Tafts face is genu- inc. His handshake comes up directly
 
 and a postmaster in the art of political suavity.
 While talking jocularly with a member of the Alabama delegation who was try ing to make a set speech which was deftly evaded and cut short by the Pres ident, MT. Taft punched him good sound stroke in the breast with his big jolly fist and laughed in such a good-natured way that the visitor was not offended that the President would not allow him to proceed with his speech.
 I like the way that he boxed with the visitor. It was good, wholesome Amer icanism and impressed his callers with the fact that the President is an Amer ican citizen and democratic fellow. The delegation came down from the White House feeling good in spite of the fact that they had not been allowed to say the little speeches they had been perhaps rehearsing for weeks.
 When the postoffice at New Decatur was re-establshed on July l. after it had been closed and consolidated with the Decatur office for one month, Postmaster w. A. Warner was retained as the post master at New Decatur. It seems that fight has developed over the retention of MT. Warner and complaints have come to Washington that opponents of MT.
 
 put forward their man for appointment.
 It is explained here that as MT. Warner was the postmaster at New Decatur when the office was discontinued the depart ment aould do nothing but designate him as the postmaster of the re-established of flee. There was no time to consider new appointment.
 It will be remembered that the offices were consolidated on an order of the As- sistant to the Postmaster General during his absence, and the order was recinded by the Postmaster General and the Pres ident after the original order had been in effect for one month.
 Senator Johnston has had number of letters and telegrams re tive to the mat ter, but explains that nothing could be done In the short time in which the of- flee had to be re-established, and the de- partment could do nothing but retain the old postmaster.
