HE EXPLAINS PEACE TERMS

FL Paso, Tex, May q. - General
Francisco !. Madero has resigned as
provisional president of Mexico. He
agreed to do so following the resigna,
ton of President Diaz.
He issued manifesto renouncing
the title of president of the provis-
ional government and explaining the
peace terms reached between himself
and the federals. He expresses the ut
most confidence in the good faith of
de la Barra while he holds the Office
of temporary president of Mexico. and
says the insurrecto troops are at the
disposal of de la Barra In restoring
peace in Mexico.
Madero explains that he did not
hold out for all that he and his party
declared for at San Luis Potosi last
November, when they demanded that
all governors must be swept aside. be
cause he had a chance to get peace by
accepting one more than half the gov
ernorships, and he considered this
agreeable, especially since the resig
nations of Diaz and Corral were also
promised and new elections are prom
Used.
Madero was asked II he would an
nounce his candidacy for the presi-
dency Of Mexico, and he said he would
not; that such thing was not con-
sidered proper in his country, but his
friends would advance his name at the
proper time, he was certain.
Invited to come to Eel Paso and hold
a public reception, that the people OF
the city might meet him, Madero said
he would come next Monday, mas
much as he was now private citizen.

GOT" sCHWAB FOR $4,000
Divroce Suit Against Alleged Gambler
CHARGES Crooked Roulette.

Atlantic City, May 29.-In suit for
divorce brought by Mrs. Cecile Mars
tin against her husband, Almerin Mar
stin, who, it is charged, conducts
gambling place at 10 South Illinois
avenue, the allegation is made that
Charles M. Schwab, former president
of the steel trust, was mulcted or
$4,000 in single night by the crook
ed manipulation of roulette wheel.
Personal service in an action
brought by Mrs. Marstin for alimony
was made upon Marstin by a repre-
sentative of Jacob Gordon, New

stin. The defendant in the action re-
fused to keep the papers, throwing
them angrily to the floor at Young S
hotel, where he was located by the
process server.
Mrs. Maud L. keenan,, proprietress
of Young's hotel, is mentioned as CO.
respondent in the divorce action
brought by Mrs Marstin.

that Schwab was mulcted out of fair
sized fortune by crooked means, but
she declares also that all the games
at Marstin's place are crooked and
that she stands ready to prove these
assertions at the trial of the suit.

PENNSY LOSES
Verdict of S62,65S in
Rebate Suit.
QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
Coal Companies Win Suit Against
Railroad After Two Years Lit
igation-May Go to the
Supreme Court.

Philadelphia, May 26.--Damages &c
the amount Of $26,65S.49 were awarded
10 seven coal companies that sued the
Pennsylvania railroad for discrimina
tion in favor of three competitors.
The verdict was awarded by a jury
Judge Holland presiding.
The Jurisdiction of this court in the
case is not yet definitely decided
however. John Ham pton Barnes, coun
sci for the railroad, asked that the suit
be dismissed on the ground that the
action should have been brought be
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion, but Judge Holland allowed it to
proceed, and the result will hinge on
the decision of the United States su
preme court in similar case that is
now before that body.
The charge of the different com
panies was that the Pennsylvania rail
road granted rebates to and favored
the Berwind-White Coal Mining com.
pany, the Glen White Coal and Lumber
company and the Altoona Coal and
Coke company in shipments of coal
from the Clearfield district.
These rebates, it was pointed out
were not noted on the tariff schedule
filed with the interstate commerce
commission. The compliments also
sought damages because the defendant
corporation permitted the Berwind.
White company to have the exclusive
use of Harsimus pier, in New York
harbor, which enabled the favored
company to put coal into New York
for $1.61 per ton, whereas shipments
there cost the plaintiffs $173.
SO far as the Berwind-White com
pany having the exclusive use of Har-
sinus pier was concerned, the plain
tiffs could not obtain special damages
for that, as any damages suffered by
the plaintiffs in this respect were too
indefinite and speculative for the jury
to measure them by any reasonable
standard in dollars and cents.
The suit was originally brought
about two years ago by eleven coal
companies operating in Pennsylvania
and the damages they asked were ST.
100000. Through a ruling of Judge
Holland, however, only those who had
prepaid the freight charges on coal
shipments could rightfully recover.
This eliminated four of the companies
and cut the amount of damages down
to 100000.
The $62,65S.49 awarded was divided
among the seven plaintiff companies
as follows:
Carbon Coal and Coke company,
$58,953.06.
w. Fl. Sweet, $1SS931.
John Langdon, s1042.13.
f. Eichelberger & Co, $42313.
Mount Equity Coal and Coke COM
pany, s307.05.
Huntington Coal company, $4,000.

men must specify a grievance, and II

MOTOR BOAT SUNK IN CRASH
Presidents Yacht In Fatal Collision on
Potomac River.

Washington, May 30 - President
Taft visited the apartment of Alexan-
der Yellowless, who was drowned in
the Potomac river as the result of
collision between the government dis
patch boat Dolphin and the motor boat
Culprit Fay, in which Yellowless, with
two companions, was riding.
Miss Helen Taft, the presidents
daughter. was on board the Dolphin
when the accident occurred, and the
president desired personally to offer
his condolences to the dead mans rel
atives. Upon calling at the apartment,
however, he learned that Yellowless
had no relatives in Washington. The
president then caused orders to be is
sued to the police and to the navy
yard officials to see that everything
possible was done to recover the body
and to care for it afterward.
Later the president called upon John
G.. Lindsay, owner and one of the &C.
cupants of the motor boat, and ex-
! pressed his sorrow at the loss of the
motor boat, which is now at the bot
tom of the river
The motor boat, Lindsay says. was
Just passing the ferry slip at Alexan-
dria when the Dolphin was seen loom
ing up ahead A sailor on board the
Dolphin shouted warning, but it was
too late. The dispatch boat struck
! the Culprit Fay a glancing blow ana
shattered the frail craft, which sank
almost Immediately. Lindsay and w.

GLASS EYE EXPLODES
Artificial Optic Cracks Like Pistol
and Injuries Wearer.

and Injuries Wearer.
Allentown, Pa, May 29.-Building
Inspector Frank r. MINER was the
victim of an accident the cause of
which physicians were unable to ex-
plain, having never heard of similar
occurrence.
Inspector Minner met with a mis-
hap twelve years ago which resulted
in the loss of an eye, and since then
he has been using a glass one, which
he changes every year.
While Minner was engaged in con-
versation with man at his Office in
the city hall, the glass eye suddenly
exploded with report like that of a
pistol shot.
Minner fell over dazed. and his COM
panion was at loss to know what
had happened until blood began to
squirt from the inspectors eye. A ply
stefan found the socket of the eye
badly lacerated, and 1t is feared that
particles of glass penetrated the brain,
in which event serious results are
feared.
One physician advances the strange
theory that the eye was made OF eel
luloid instead of glass, and that the
natural heat Of the body caused 1t to
explode
