1T Is remarkable said the father.

Negotiate on Mexican Soil.

DIR. Gomez is said to be strongly or
the belief that peace negotiations should
be conducted on Mexican territory and at
some city where neither federal nor In
surgent forces are in evidence. He be-
Iieves that the presence of arms too
near the scene Of negotiations would
have a disquieting effect on the pro-
ceedings.
Further explanation of Mexico's reply
regarding the Douglas incident reached
President Taft today from Ambassador
Wilson at Mexico City. Mr.. Wilson ex-
planned that Minister de la Barra took
the position that both nations had a
right to offer their views as to the ques-
ton in dispute The note meant nothing
more. the ambassador said. The idea that
President Diaz replied in a spirit of un-
frjendliness was declared to be absurd

Response to Questions.

Referring to the statements made be-
fore the committee by Chief Wagner and
other fire experts that the Union building
is not fireproof, Mr.. Parker said
Chief Wagner had no right to charac-
terize the Union building as unsafe and ]
so informed him. He ought to have
known better. He used to be in charge
Of an engine and has risen from the ranks
and has had experience enough not to
make a statement of that kind"
lis 1t true that the estate of the late
Fire Chief Belt is interested in the stock
OF the Union building?" asked Chairman
Cantrill.
There's not a word Of truth in It,
The story was put out that other pub
lie men had stock in the Union build
ing and even that Uncle Joe Cannon
was shareholder and that they could
not get anywhere with the Union
building. No public man owns any
stock in this building"

Associated Press correspondent declared
that he had never and does not now in
sist upon the immediate resignation of
President DiaZ as necessary preliminary
to the signing of peace pact
Yesterday afternoon the Mexican gov
eminent gave orders to drop all negotia-

unreasonable. Last night his aged father
arrived after an effort of several weeks
to reach him In the interest of peace.

side has its cannon IN position and in
each army the soldiers are keeping close
to their rifles Juarez has not made any
attempt to take the offensive In the cam

not had to be careful as the defenders

Other Reports Submitted.

Mr.. Parker asked to have inserted in
the record reports from John p. Heaiy,
computer OF the building department:
James p. Parry, inspector of fire
escapes, and w. W. Ayres. inspector
OF the health department, made in
December. 1908, at the request of Sec
rotary Cortelyou.
The Healy report characterized the
Union building "semi-fireproof in char
acter." The Parry report sad, there are
ample fire escapes when put in proper con-
ditiOn." The fire escapes, according to
Mr.. Parker are now in proper condl ton.
The Ayres report declared the Union
building in good sanitary condition. well
lighted and heated.
The committee would make no oruc;al
comment on the explanations made by
Mr.. Parker. but expressed a desire
to make a personal inspection Of
the Union building within the next
few days. Mr.. Parker acquiesced
Committees Criticism.
The principal criticism made by men,
bers Of the committee today with
reference to the conflicting reports was
that Mr.. Parker had not explained. in
filing his copy with the committee. that
it was an abstract with the various
recommendations of the department
omitted. The committee accepted Mr..
Parker's promise to produce the original
copy Of the fire chiefs report, in which
the Union building is characterized as
that he was sure a report containing
this verbiage was in existence, else he
would not have included this sentence
in his abstract.

majority.
Mrs. Delafield, the vice president general
for Missouri. presented a resolution ask
ing that the congress vote to exclude from
the congress next year on opening day
all but delegates and alternates to the
congress. Keeping the doors closed to
all others until ten minutes before the
congress convenes.
Mrs. Story Of New York objected to
the resolution. declaring that all the
members had a right to admission on
opening day whether voters or not.
The congress adopted the resolution
and next year members need not apply
for admission unless they have votes.
Voting was In progress when this re-
port closed. The congress will end late
today.
Cheer upon cheer greeted the announce
president general last night, when, after
twenty-four hours Of anxious waiting
Mrs. G. T. Guernsey Of Kansas, chair
man Of the tellers, announced the result
OF the vote. Hundreds of women. loyal
supporters Of Mrs. Scott. stood and waved
their handkerchiefs. The Story party took
its defeat in silence and calm, but while
Mrs. Story in her speech cOngratulating
Mrs. Scott disclaimed all bitterness over
the outcome, there were many of her
supporters VINO still feel the defeat
keenly.
AS Mrs. Guernsey prepared to announce
the vote for president general, the great
hall, filled with women was more silent
than it has been at any time since the
turbulent twentieth Continental Congress
opened last Monday.
Every woman was eager to hear the
result. for, although it had been rumored
a lingering doubt in the minds Of many
Of the Daughters. This had been increas-
ed because of the long delay OF the tell
ers in announcing the vote. Mrs. Guern-
sey announced that 1885 votes had been
cast and that 1T required ga votes to
elect. When she announced first that
Mrs. Story had received only 400 votes,
the question OF victory was settled. But
not sound was heard until Mrs. Scott's
name came from her lips.
Mrs. Matthew T. Scott of Illinois six
hundred and" The rest of the an
inouncement was lost in the pandemonium
that burst forth. 1t was many minutes
later that the Daughters learned that
Of the ballots were not counted or did
not carry votes for president general.
Entire Scott Ticket Wins.
The entire Scott ticket was swept in
along with Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Guernsey
continued her report to the end and not
until she had made her last announce
ment did Mrs. Scott begin her triumphal
march from the entrance Of the hall
down the center aisle to the stage. She
was preceded by bevy Of pretty pages
carrying great lunches Of flowers. Her
entrance was the occasion of another
ovation.
When Mrs. Scott had finally been in
stalled as president general for the next
woman to rise and demand recognition.
She made her way to the platform be-
side Mrs. Scott and congratulated her
successful opponent. Then she faced the

tain as much of the stolen prop
erty as possible. If the prison
ers were isolated we were more
apt to find out the conspiracy.
The learned counsel charges
me with persecution and states
that | arbitrarily, u~nIawfully and
maliciously refused petitioner the
right to see his counsel. Al the
very time / sent the letters to
the several attorneys, I was do
ing all I could to locate one Leonce
(aIias Mace Pitre whom I con-
sidered one of the principals. /
succeeded in locating him at Mil
leryille and had the Marshal of
Jennings to arrest him and found
q considerable lot of goods taken
from here.
The within petitioner was re-
leased on bond and hence it is
easy to see that the officers were
blocked in a great measure by
the over jealous work of counsel.
He alone of all the attorneys in
voked the rule to compel me to
accept bail. I had a perfect
right to ask for reasonable time
to ferret out this conspiracy and
/ would much prefer to be on the
side of the people, who were
clamoring for the unearthing of
these crimes, than be an attor-
ney who, for prestige or fee,
would throw himself in the
breach and retard what / con-
ceive to be the strict course of
justice.
/ concede that a lawyer owes a
great deal to his client, but I sub
nit the fact that he owes a great
deal to the community, parish
and State. Just such hath some
times caused the people to lose
patience and self control and
led to dire results.
At any rate I would rather be
with my people in the ditch than
