LONDON TO PARIS WITHOUT STOP
The First Trip in an AeropIane Made
by Prier-The Distance
is 2eo Miles.

Issy-L -Les-MoulineauN, France, April
13.-Prier arrived here from London,
having made the trip of about 29o
miles in a monoplane without a stop.
Prier left Hendon, near London, on
his flight to this suburb Of Paris at
l:37 o'clock in the afternoon. Above
the English soil the aviator found fog
and squalls ard, going higher and
higher in an effort to obtain better
weather crossed .he English channel
near Dover at the height of more than
5000 feet.
Leaving the channel, Prier eneoun-
tered fine weather until he reached
Beauvais, a miles from Paris, and
from that city the voyage was made
through a haze.
Prier was wildly acclaimed by a
dense throng as he stepped out OF his
machine after alighting on the lssy
aviation field. The monoplane used
by the aviator was the historic ma
chine with which Alfred Le Blanc, the
French aviator, won the 100000 prize
by finishing first in the great cross
country race of 4SS miles on cir
cult east Of Paris last summer.

PEACE COMMISSION
REACHED MADERO
A Council of Officers Called to Con-
slider the Proposals
A STRUGGLE OF INTELLIGENCE
Diaz is Placing His Army on Better
Footing for Action if Negotia-
tions Should
Fail

Laredo, Tex, April ia peace
commission reached Gen. Madero's S
camp west of Bustillos in the state of
Chihuahua bearing the terms of the
Diaz government. The insurrecto
eommander-in-chief called a council OF
his officers to consider the peace
pact. Definite peace news will come
out of Chihuahua very soon.
Following the concilatory policy of
the administration, 20 political prison
ers were released from the peniten-
tiary and more will receive amnesty
soon.
The report that Zacataas was cap
tured by insurrectos under leader
named Meye, is partly untrue. Meye
did shoot up the town but after few
yolleys he withdrew, his men satisfied
with having Illuminated the people
with fear. Meye could have taken the
place if he had wished and Why he
did not is known only to the insur-
rectos idea of tactics.
The situation is one of the struggle
of intelligence on the part of few
men like Bimantour and DeLaBarra
against the dynamies of facts With
no popular support, these men have
succeeded so far in forcing a cam
paign of business and sobriety ON an
excited people and they have a fight
ing chance to win out. They are pit
ting brains against force and Patriotic
ally making fight that commands
respect and sympathy.
The announcement is made taat
after the 18th instant the pay OF Mex
lean soldiers will be raised from 81
cents a day to 81. Active recruiting
will begin and vigorous attempt Will
be made to increase the army's fight
ing strength Army rifles and cart
ridges have arrived from foreign
ports, so that if the government finds
its efforts to satisfy the Maderists
have failed, FL Yiejo, as Diaz is famil-
iarly known to the people, viii make
a final fight for existence. Tie cid
lios of Puebla has lately proved him
self capable of yielding to the facts
pictured by the intellectual progress
of his people, aud he has shown a
patience and "A statcraft capacity quite
unexpected, but there is reason TO be
leye that he has nearly reached his
limit Of giving and itsthe alternative
of doffing his sombrero TO his tate or
defying it is presented to him, his
reply will be gunpoWder. This will
bring a sad awakening TO him, for
the dictator who has devised Mexico
out of his brain will find that he will
stand almost alone against tae new
Mexico his Own brain has created.

BALDWIN'S LATEST PLANS
EXPLORER WILL CIRCLE THE
POLE ON AN ICE BARGE.
Starting From eering Strait He VIII
Drift Over Into the North Atlantic
In Four Years.

Kansas City, April 13.-Aronnd the
North pole with an Ice foe as barge
"a 1,900-mile trip in four years-that
Is the latest plan of Evelyn Briggs
Baldwin, the Arctic explorer. Mr..
Baldwin stopped long enough In Kan
sas City on the way TO his old home
IN Edna. Kan, 10 tell of his project.
Il am going to run steamer OF
about 5000 tons into an Ice foe some
where beyond Bering Strait. There
are little bays and harbors on those
foes, you know. Then | will let the
ship freeze right into that foe or
make 1t fast by artificial means aud
Just stay in tho foe as 1t drifts
around tho half circle and over into
the North Atlantic. Tho course or the
tloes is Just as exact as clockwork.
and 1t will take me four years to make
the trip
Il shall drift within 100 miles of
the pole at speed of little less than
two miles day. That will give
plenty of time to leave the ship and
run over to the pole and also 1t will
afford opportunity to explore the S.00O,-
600 square miles of unknown space in
the frozen North. | intend to start in
1912 or 1913. I shall take 25 or 80
men and the trip will cost 100000
THE natural barge or raft formed
by the ice foe is to be stocked with
timber and oil and provisions of all
kinds. You may think that the floes
will crush the boat, but they won't be-
cause it will have a sloping hull which
will enable It Just to slip up when II
is caught between two foes and ride
on top of them"

CONSPIRACY TO EVADE A LAW
That is the Charge Made Against
Railroads and Elevator Men by
Kansas Officials.

Topeka, April IA mandamus
suit was brought in the Kansas SUI
preme court by John S. Dawson, at
torney general, against the railroads
hauling grain from Kansas to Kansas
City and against the big grain eleya-
tor operators in Kansas City, Kan, to
compel the elevators TO allow the in
speetion and weighing of all grain en-
tering the Kansas City markets.
The elevator companies named in
the suit are the ones which a short
time ago gave up their licenses as
public warehousemen. The petition
recites that in order TO protect the
grain growers of the state the grain
inspection and weighing law was en-
acted to provide a uniform system of
grain grading and Weighing It is as
serted that all the inspection and
weighing charges are advance charges
that it is the duty of the railroad com
panies 70 collect those charges.
The petition charges that the rail
roads and The elevator men have en-
tered into an unlawful conspiracy to
eyade the law passed by the 1911
legislature raising the fees for the in
spection and weighing of grain, by re-
fusng to advise the grain inspector
when the shipment of grain is re
ceiYed, and the elevators refuse to al
low the inspectors to weigh or inspect
the grain in their warehouses.
