TICKETS ON AMBoY DIVISION.

There is a chance for the people
living along the Amboy division OF
the Pennsylvania railroad to force
that company to sell excursion tick
cts good for nor than two days.
There are hundreds of people who
visit In the towns along the Amboy
division, but who are forced to pay
single fare going and coming unless
they want to stay over only one
night. AS there are no late trains
this means that in order to take adj
vantage of the excursion ticket rate,
a person really has but few hours in
the town where he is visiting.
1t is particularly unsatisfactory
on holidays. Take Thanksgiving,
for instance. Many a person will go
down the Amboy division to spend
that holiday. If he goes down We'd
nesday night, he must, in order to
get the advantage OF the return
ticket, return Thursday afternoon.
To do this would really interfere
with the Thanksgiving dinner be-
cause the last trains leave so early.
f.E re-
But to remain g until Friday
morning, al most of the visitors
would like to do, the return ticket
becomes void, and the high rate
charged for q single fare each way
must be paid.
This is decidedly unjust to the
people OF the Amboy division, es-
pecially when their friends In towns
where there are competing railroads
can buy return tickets wherever the
competition exists and use the re-
turn coupon when they please.
This discrimination has been cali
ed to the attention of the Public
Utility Commission and the matter
is now being considered. The peo-
Pile living along the Amboy division
could help secure an excursion rate
that would be good for at least ten
days If they would write to the sec
rotary of the Public Utility Com
mission at Trenton. Everybody
from Old Bridge to Camden Is inter-
ested in this matter. The utility
commission was established to REM
edy just such cases as this.

AMBoY BRIDGE REPAIRS.
Every time mention Is made OF re-
pairs to the Amboy bridge there is

thS SaBbunt Of money spent on this
structure. Last spring the free
holders replanked q short section Of
IT, from the south shore. and at q
recent meeting 1t was decided to re-
plank another section, beginning at
the draw and working northward.
That such an improvement is abso-
Iutely necessary Is evident to any
one who has occasion to ride across
the bridge. and 5uat~wny the county
seat snould complain every time any
money Is spent on it is hard to I'M
derstand.
Perth Amboy would call the at
tention OF New Brunswick to the
fact that this city Is now paying one
third OF the county taxes. We are
not asking the freeholders to pave
our streets with asphalt, as New
Brunswick is doing. In fact there Is
practically no way In which this city
can get back anywhere near the
amount OF money paid into the
county treasury. Not only are we
.N.
paying this enormous county tax but
ha ctty Il also taking care OF a por-
tion OF the bridge, itself, about
which 90 much Is said. The city's
end OF the bridge is now being re-
planked at the city's expense and It
Is to extend this Improvement, from
where the city leaves of, to the
draw that the freeholders have TAX
en their recent action.
The county bridge Is really the
only place where Perth Amboy can
get back IN Of the tax money being
paid the county and the county seat
has no cause for complaint when the
freehoiders do this much, especially
y other sections are benefited prao-
tieally rs much as Perth Amboy by

.RUFfIAA SYMPATHRERS
OF THE INSURRECT0S
FEDERAL OFFICIAL ATTACKED IN
STREETS OF DOUGLAS.

Douglas, April 21-Jesus J. Moreno,
secretary to Francisco Chiapa, one of
the federal commanders at AgCa Prieta
and Captain Carlos Campos came
across the line into Douglas tonight.
Campos was taken TO the city hall by
the civil authorities but before a
charge could be preferred, Col. Sibley,
L. S. A.. appeared there and advised
that the Mexican official be escorted to
the border to avoid danger of violence.
In the meantime two Americans as
sanlted Moreno on the street and
knocked him down. They made their
escape.
Moreno has served as postmaster at
MOcteZuma and NacOzari and has al
ways been very courteous to Ameri-
cans who had business with him The
Douglas authorities have been asked
by the citizens to make apology for the
assault to the Aqua Prieta official.
In a deposition taken today, Mrs.
Emma Lason tells of her narrow es-
cape from a bullet shot into Douglas
the day following the battle, when the
federaIs were in possession of the town.

A FATHERS PLEA
SAVES TWO BOYS
HE AND PRESIDENT DIAZ TALK
1T OVER.

Mexico City, April 2I-Two cid men,
one the president Of Mexico and the
other an attorney Of Los Angeles and
father Of a boy confined in a Mexican
prison, chatted in neighborly fashion
for fifteen minutes today over a sub
ject that has brought into action all
the machinery of two state depart
ments. AT the conclusion the father
was promised that his son should be
set free.
The attorney was c. H Converse,
father Of Lawrence Converse, in Jail at
Juarez on a charge Of participating in
the Mexican revolution as a filibusterer
The father came TO Mexico not in his
capacity as an attorney to argue the
case of his son but simply as father.
When he left the office Of the presi
dent il was with the assurance that not
only his own son should be released
but that Edwin Blatt, the other young
man held on the same charge, also
should be freed. The two boys will be
taken by Converse to Los Angeles.
General Diaz has promised Converse
that he will send TO him tomorrow a
letter addressed to the authorities at
Juarez instructing them to release the
two boys to Converse.

GOVERNMENT GETTING

Determination to Prevent Outbreak of

Washington, D.. c., April 21-The
United States government is seeking
To collect a complete report or all the
facts bearing OH the question Of United
States neutrality i'm the recent border
warfare of the Mexican revolution and
to be able 10 issue a response to Mex
ico's representations. With that pur-
pose the war department today sent a
second telegram to Col. skunk. COM
manding the troops at Douglas, asking
him to hurry his report.
The department also repeated by tel
egraph previous instructions to COM
manding officers of the departments Of
Texas, Colorado and California, forbid
ding American soldiers crossing the in
ternational border and directing them
to disarm and hold under orders all
combatantS crossing into the United
States.
In view of reports that some citizens
of FL Paso might adopt armed retalia-
tory measures in case any American
on this side is injured by an attack on
Juarez. the department has instructed
Colonel Steever. commanding there, to
take the necessary steps to prevent any
such action.

telegram from DR.. Vasquez Gomez at
Washington insisting that an attack on
the city across the river from FL Paso
at this time would be unwise and prob
ably would be signal for American
intervention.
Gomez insisted that public sentiment
at this time is in favor of ending strife
and that it is certain that heavy loss
Of life i'm an attack on JuareZ would
turn the tide of moral support away
from the rebellion.
The leader of the revolt was plainly
perplexed at the situation i'm which he
found himself. Not to attack would,
he contends. make him a greater laugh
ing stock than was OrOzcO. who came
to the city gates two months ago. only
To retreat without firing an offensive
shot.
incidentally one of the principal lead
ers has told him that if the present
campaign ends in a fiasco he Will leave
the generals forces and operate inde-
pendently. On the other side is the
fact that Diaz has made a great con-
cessiOn i'm changing his cabinet minis
ters, the pressure from Washington and
from members Of MaderO's own family.

MORNING,

carriages, a we'll filled wine cellar,
and take an occasional trip to Eu-
rope, they have nothing more to ask
Of Fortune, and as a result, vast es-
tates which might easily be made
to produce millions are today produc-
ing only thousands, and empires of
fertile valleys and rich farming lands
are kept from the people who Ger
tainly ought to have them.
How do I think the present trou-
BILE will terminate? By the federal
government granting the demands of
MaderO. They are playing a losing
fight, and they realize it. The fact
that they were willing to make any
concessions at all proves their lack
OF confidence in the strength of their
position. 1t will take time, and the lack
of organization among the insurrectos
will greatly impede the success of
their cause, but they will overcome
by the weight Of public opinion, and
not by brilliant action in the field
1t will be a slow process. but l re-
gard il as certain

great deal from the experience gained
i'm the handling of the annual Los
Angeles Phoenix road race. He said
that California towns along the way
We're so much enthused over it that
often they would offer a thousand
dollars just To have the road race
go through them. That is only
pointer as To what the value would
be to Arizona, merely as an adVer
tisement.
T G. Norris of Prescott followed,
on the subject of the Prescott terri
torial road and kindred topics He
began i'm humorous vein by speak
ing of road building in Yavapai in
the days when the best method known
was for every fellow to get out with
pick and shovel and go to building
He was introduced as the father of
good roads in Arizona and passed
along the honor to the Yavapai su-
pervisors, who, said the speaker. are
in themselves a veritable good roads
commission Then he spoke of what
had been accomplished in Yavapai
county. the moral of it being that
nothing is effective without purpose.
but that ought to be easy in Arizona,
where il is customary for things to
be pursued with purpose and con-
tinuously until they are achieved. He
indicated that nothing was impossible
if the people went after il unitedly
and in a spirit of cooperation.
Charles 4. Stauffer was introduced

blage that he had been selected be-
cause he could not make a speech,
but that he proposed To- fool them.
After a few Introductory remarks. he
pulled manuscript from his pocket

and dispatch. He covered the ques-
tiun of paved streets very thoroughly,
both as To- what is being done and
what surely will be done for the town

YET A HOPE oF PEACE.

Washington. u. G.. April 21.-The
Mexican revolutionists may yet find
il unnecessary to attack JuareZ and

is thought he has found some way
out of the dilemma presented by the

but it was ascertained tonight that the
woman who was mistaken for the Sc

When the insurrectos saw that the
impression that Mrs. Mckinney was
Madame Talamantes was, because of
its romantic aspect bringing recruits

and give il color. Mrs. Mckinney is a
native of MADEIRA, Yucatan. Her faith

HALF A LAW
The Bill Passes House By
Heavy Majority
REP UBLICAN TAUhTS
After Trying to Load 1t
With a Free List the
Democrats Told Oppon-
ents That That Oppor-
tunity Was Soon Coming.

Washington. D. c.. April 2I-Presi-
dent Taft's Canadian reciprocity agree
ment. supported by all but ten demo-
Gratis and opposed by a majority of the
republicans. passed the house Of repre-
sentatives this afternoon by 2G6 to 50.
The bill was adopted with no amend
ments and is almost identically the
form in which it passed the house last
session.
It seeks u put into effect the formal
agreement reached between President
TAFT and members Of the Canadian
cabinet for a reduction of tariff rates
on many articles. and free trade in
many others across the Canadian bOr-
der. Added to it by the democratic
leaders is a section which authorizes
and requests" Mr.. Taft to make further
efforts To secure still freer trade re-
lations with Canada. in the form of
additional reciprocity relations.
An attempt To amend the agreement
began with the final reading of the bin
at O'Clock Threats by republicans
opposed To the measure. To make the
democrats vote against amendments for
free meat. free lumber and free agri-
cultural machinery We're carried out,
but as their party leaders declared any
amendment would defeat the whole
trade agreement they cheerfully voted
the amendments down.
Republicans who taunted them with
opposing the free admission Cf these
important products. We're met with as
sertionS that the democrats would lay
the new farmers free list bill' before
the house next week. and that an op-
p0rtunity would then be given for free
meat. machinery. lumber and other
things. This defense was met by the
republican standpatters with charges
that the democrats knew that the free
list dill could not pass the senate nor
secure the presidents approval
That section of the reciprocity bill
relating tn the admission of pulp and
paper provoked the sharpest discus
sion, drawing from Representative
Mann Of Illinois, the republican leader,
the statement that it was exactly in
the terms agreed upon by the two
countries. Former Speaker Cannon
bitterly attacked this section.
Mr.. LongWorth of Ohio pointed out
that any reduction of duties as pro-
posed in the free list amendments
would violate the relations between the
United states and all countries as it
would give Canadian goods special pre-
ference i'm American markets.
Il challenge the statement that we
are going To pass free list bill later
with the expectation that it will not
become law said Democratic Leader
Underwood in reply to statements from
the republican opponents of the recip-
ricity bill.
The free list bill will become law or
the republican senate rrat Kills it or
the republican president that vetoeS it
will never be heard from again
