BOGUS $40 COINS AFLoAT.
Counterfeit So Good As Almost to
Defy Detection.

San Francisco = Counterfeit $40
gold pieces, so clever in execution as
almost to defy detection, have been
spread profusely over San Francisco
and other cities of the Pacific coast,
according to information given by the
Federal authorities.
The spurious gold pieces appear so
much like the genuine that they will
deceive even the most scrutinous, un-
less examined very closely.
The date on the output is 1888, and
it will be found on close observation
that the metal is a trife light. The
ring is almost as good as in the legiti-
mate coins, though to the experienced
ear it will seem a little "brassy."
Around the design and inscriptions
a slightly blurred appearance is evil
dent, convincing the authorities that
the coin has been cast. A considera-
BILE amount of copper is used in max
ing the bogus coin, and much gold has
been employed in completing it.
1t is believed that the gang has cir
culated the output in several Western
states and will soon be run to cover by
Chief Operative Mofit and his oper-
atives, who are noted for their success
in this line. In the meantime all
merchants of San Francisco are espe-
cially cautioned by the authorities to
be on the lookout for bogus gold
pieces,

SUFFRAGISTS MARCH
1000 New Workers Join IN Big
Parade 10 Help Cause.
"GirIs of '6l," Babes in Arms, And
All Intervening Ages Represent
ed-Many Men In Line.

New York, May g. Gray-haired
woman suffrage pioneers styled "The
Girls Of '61," dimpled, laughing girl
babies Of 1910, not yet out of their
first long dresses, girls and women of
all ages between, swept down Fifth
avenue from Fifty-seventh street to
Union square Saturday afternoon in
an unorganized protest against denial
to their sex of the ballot.
Every avenue through which woman
has invaded mans field of endeavor
was represented, from sculpture to
cab driving. One hundred male sup
porters joined in the parade.
Four brass bands, dozens of elabor-
ate floats and futtering pennants by
the hundreds, with here and there
banner bearing epigrams, heightened
the line of 1000 marchers. The
ranks were separated into seven divis-
ions and more than half the marchers
were laden with camp stools, besides
the regular insignia and banners
which they carried.
The camp stools, an innovation in
New York parades, had served as
seats for the feminine army preceding
the formation. Having answered
their purpose, they were folded up,
tucked under arms and carried along.
Every one marched with the exception
of the veterans and the babies.
Mrs. Antoinette Brown Blackwell,
nearly 80, Mrs. Anna Garlan Spencer
and Mrs. Phoebe A. Hapford, repre-
senting 'The Girls of '61, rode in
open carriages. The youngest re-
cruitS were trundled in go-carts by
their mothers.
Out-of-town associations, in sep
arate division, consisted of delegates
from Colorado, Wyoming, Massachus-
etts, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
When the marchers reached Union
square an open-air mass meeting was
held and addresses were delivered by
the leaders.
Half dozen floats, illustrating the
progress woman has made since Eve
handed Adam the pippin were inter
esting features of the celebration and
yellow "votes for women" sashes
were plentiful enough to give the
moving panorama "Mayonnaise" ap-
pearance.

DlAz' DEATH DEMANDED.
Resignation Seems Certain = Rebels
Gain Strength.

nSSl6HduOH OooHS N6Ttdln - neDel'
Gain Strength.
Mexico City, May 6.-With students
around the national palace shouting
"Viva Madero and Death to Diaz, >
President Diaz is preparing for early
resignation. This is regarded as q
certainty. Should the announcement
be made tomorrow it would cause nc
surprise to his cabinet.
A number of students began jeering
the police in front of the national
palace at noon, shouting "Viva Ma
dero and Death to Diaz." A large
crowd quickly collected.
The police at first made a good
natured attempt to disperse the stu
dents, but it was necessary to get re-
Inducements and the crowd was not
driven away until several had been
hurt.
1t is feared other demonstrations
will follow, as the students have given
notice they would again parade to the
house of Diaz for an answer to their
petition for the resignation of the
president.
The police took no measures to dis
perse the holiday crowd, which filed
into the garden of Zocalo, the squares
in front of the palace, or poured aim
lessly in and out of the principal
streets of the neighborhood.
In Isabella La Catholica street
crowds banked themselves before
street car, stopped it and tore from it
one of the little Mexican flags which
adorned all the soldiers.
Still the police failed to interfere
and it was only when the mob seized
soldier, lifted him to it's shoulders and
marched off with him, crying "Viva
Madero," that the mounted police
rode into its midst. The crowd was
not looking for trouble, however, and
dropped the soldier and fled. Nobody
was injured. Another crowd rushed
own Cadena street and in passing the
governors house lauded Madero and
the revolution. The police also dis
persed this crowd.
No authoritative confirmation could
be obtained, but there appears little
doubt that President Diaz, recogniz-
ing the seriousness of the situation
and responding to the popular demand,
will retire when order is restored,
At the presidents Office no state
ment could be had and the cabinet,
realizing that the president is the only
man who can give direct answer to
the demands of Francisco l. Madero,
Jr., that Diaz should publish his in
tention to retire, were silent.

MEXICAN REBELS GAINING.
Many Towns Captured = Americans
Flee Across Border.

rice ACROSS Ooruers
Nogales, Ariz., May 3.--Almost all
of Western Mexico is in the hands Of
the rebels. They have captured one
town after another, and now besiege
Mazatlan, the principal Pacific sea-
port, and Culiacan.
Governor Rodog, of SinalOa, has SO
small force that he can do no more
than hold these two towns, and doubt
is expressed whether he can hold them
long. Fighting is almost continuous
in Sinaloa and Sonora.
Not only is the political welfare of
the Western Mexican states affected,
but American interests are involved
and in danger. Even the lives of
Americans, hitherto held sacred by
Federals and rebels, are no longer re-
garded as safe in the interior of Mex
leo.

the rebels to remove their families as
quickly as possible into the United
States and to advise all of their Amer
ican friends to do likewise. Coupled
with these warnings, was the threat
of the insurrectos that they intended,
before the end of the week, to launch
attacks against all the Mexican border
towns. Many American families are
coming across the border.
Word came from Magdalena district,
southeast of Nogales, of the complete
wiping out of body of 80 Federals
under Luis Estrella by band of
rebels in the vicinity of Octates.
Reports of heavy fighting near La
Colorado, southeast of Hermosillo,
were brought across the border today.
The rebels claim to have recaptured
La Colorado, which has been the scene
of bitter fighting during the present
rebellion.

During my search for the manu-

Schooling In the Strand, II heard
from one source that the original was
In America.
''The Americans are jealous col

Fez, Morocco-The arrival of Cap

vestment of the capital continues.
The rebel horsemen, who are beyond
the reach of the artillery, have cut off
the food supplies. The sultan's
troops are worn out with the constant
skirmishig and watchfulness. The
rebel chiefs have a growing moral ad-
vantage, now all Morocco knows that
the sultan is penned up in the capital
and that his troops are unable to move
outside the range of their artillery.

Washington, May 3.-Several tenta-
tive drafts of the proposed arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain were discussed by Pres
ident Taft and his cabinet today. Fol-
lowing the cabinet session, Secretary
Knox and his aides continued the dis
cussion of details of phraseology, but
tonight the president told callers no
draft has been accepted as final and it
might be weeks before the treaty
could be submitted for ratification.
Some difficulties. in framing the
treaty have disappeared, according to
the White house. The criticism of
English newspapers that the United
States senate must be consulted before
disputes could be arbitrated, was
hardly a valid objection, the president
thought.

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS

Washington, May /. - The house
committee on ways and means will
begin working on the revision of the
wool schedule next week. The Demo
cratic majority in the house as well as
the Democratic membership of the
committee are divided, but the COM
mittee division is not so wide as dur
ing the last few weeks.
1t is the policy of Speaker Clark,
Underwood and other Democratic lead
ers not to submit bill placing raw
wool on the free list. Many Demo-
Gratis want raw wool on the free list;
others believe the schedule should not
be so radically revised at this time.
That majority of the Democrats on
the ways and means committee favor
ed free raw wool until few days ago
there is no doubt, but a majority of
Democrats could not be secured to
sign such bill, even in committee,
nor could majority Of Democrats in
the house be enlisted for it's passage.
To agree on bill that the Demo
Gratis can support unanimously, or
nearly so, is the purpose of the party
leaders. The bill, when finally re-
ported, will be compromise, ap-
proved by the Democratic caucus.
There will be no formal caucus on
the wool schedule, however, until the
majority members of the ways and
means comittee have agreed on bill.
1t is reported that of the ID men,
bers on the committee only seven are
standing for free raw wool.
Originally there were nine. The
believe in a gradual re-
duction on raw wool and the plan now
is for so per cent reduction for the
first year, or tariff of about cents
a pound, cent pound to be cut off
each year for five years. At the end
Of which time the commodity would
go on the free list.
Such compromise is looked on
with favor by the Democrats, and
such an arrangement doubtless will be
before the bill reaches the
house.

Washington, May 2. = Protection
and free trade were the themes of to-
days debate in the house over the
Democratic bill to put agricultural
implements, certain food products and
manufactured articles on the free list.
Mr.. Tillson, of Connecticut, said his
state, usually referred to in tariff de-
bates as a manufacturing community,
held large and important farming in
terests, but that the farmers refused
to be caught by the farmers free
list" bill, or the Democratic measure.
S. w. Smith of Michigan, and Mr..
Burke of South Dakota, (Republicans)
opposed the measure because of it's
assault upon the doctrine of protec-
ton. Mr.. Catlin of Missouri, said
the bill would give a firmer foothold
in the United States to the growing
Japanese trade. Messrs. Byrnes and
Sims of Tennessee, and Lever and
Burns of South Dakota, (all Demo
crats) defended the bill.

Washington, May 2. = The senate
committee on finance today decided to
devote the time between now and Sat-
urday, May 13, to hearings on the
Canadian reciprocity bill. Immediate
ly after that date it is expected that
the bill will be reported to the senate.
While there is no intention to per-
NIT the hearing to involve the free
list bill so as to delay consideration of
reciprocity, witnesses will be permit
ted to make incidental arguments
bearing on the bill. The first express
sions tomorrow to be made by repre-
senatives of the shoe interests will be
devoted principally to contentious
against the free list bill.
"The purpose of the committee, I"
said Senator Penrose, who today
assumed the craftsmanship, "is to press
the reciprocity bill to a speedy re-
port"
After next Monday the committee
will meet daily and sit throughout
each day, but during the remaider of
the present week the meetings will be
desultory. Senators Nixon, of Michi-
gan, and McCumber of North Dakota,
both asked time today for representa-
tives of agricultural interests to op-
pose reciprocity.
