The Mexican Government
Opened 0vertures Today
MADERO STILL NAUGHTY
Insurrectos' Leader Declared In Reply
That He Only Could Repeat De-
mands Already Made-Never-
theless Signs Are Hopeful

Madero's Camp, Mexico, April lS.--
Peace overtures for the first time since
the Mexicon insurrection began were
laid before Francisco 1. Madero, the
insurrecto leader, at his camp west OF
Bustillo Hacienda to-day. The result
Is still pending, with the prospects that
he will either reject or affirm the pro-
posals within few days.
The prelhninaries were unofficial, but
they are looked upon as possibly open
ing the way for more direct negotia-
tions between Senior Madero and Mex
Ice City. Asked on what terms he
would conclude peace, Senar Madero
said he could only repeat the demands
already made.

regular Dealings.

Schenectady, n. Y, April l2.-Jacob
w. Clute, three times mayor of Sche-
nectady, shot himself dead in the bath
room of his home to-day, while a sher-
if and under sheriff were waiting al
the door with body execution for him,
growing out of alleged Irregularities in
the handling of an estate
1t is understood that the shortage. as
alleged in the Banta estate is not due
to any dishonesty ON the part of the
former mayor, but to his too ready
loaning of his name to friends. It is
said he endorsed many notes, which he
has lately been obliged to pay, and in
meeting them he used the trust funds
in his charge.

The following resolutions, which had
previously been passed on at a meeting
of the Anti-Injunction league, were en-
dorsed at the mass meeting:
Whereas, Judge Greeley w. Whit
ford of the district court has seen fit to
throw into jail and sentence to one year
in prison. without due process of law, 16
union coal miners for an alleged con
tempt of the said court, this judge acting
not only as judge, but prosecutor and
jury as well, thereby eliminating a con-
stitutional right that our forefathers
fought. bled and died to protect; and
Whereas. We realize the fact that
judges are nothing more than human.
like the rest of us, and should be notified
that the created men never become
greater than the creator, and, further
under our form of government, those
who derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, and we realize
that no judge is infallible, but is liable
to err and make mistakes; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we, the Colorado Anti
Injunction league, condemn such de-
cision as unjust, unreasonable and most
outrageous, and We deplore the fact that
the state has within Its borders, and
most especially upon the judicial bench
clothed with power and authority. such a
merciless expounder of Justice. whose ac-
tions on the bench and elsewhere have a
tendency to bring the judiciary beneath
the contempt of the people, and be it
further
Resolved, That We realize the fact
that decisions of this kind are calculated
10 bring our courts into I'll repute and
the disrespect of our best and most law
abiding citizens We understand that the
courts of law can no longer be recOg-
nized as temples of justice when such
outrases are perpetrated within their
walls by some chattels who happen to be
sitting on the judicial bench and acting
in the name of law and order. Let US
remember and never forget that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty There
fore, the workers should awaken to their
might and dethrone this autocrat who
poses and parades in the guise of truth,
virtus and justice. Let us unfurl our
banner to the breeze of industrial lib
erty. thereby proving to the world that
we are the worthy sons of noble sire.
And be it further
Resolved. That We consider it an I'M
pardonable crime in the sight of AL
mighty God to sit idly by and accept un-
questionably the official actions and deci-
are too sacred to be criticized. when it is
plain for all to see-even the blind
that their decisions are most corrupt, un-
/ just, dishonest and disgraceful to the
high office TO which they have been ele-
waited. This office should be held most
sacred and the law administered in the

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS WINNING.

Hitchcocks program of economy in
which the taking up of slack in the
railway mail service has so demoralized
that department as to cause scores of
men to resign and the remainder to plan
a general strike, was numerically fiayed
when Chairman Weeks of the committee
on postotfice and post roads tried to
force through the house that clause in
the postotiice appropriation bill relating
to railway postoffice cars
Weeks demanded that the entire mat
ter, as to when and how steel cars should
be used in the mail service. be left to
Postmaster General Hitchcock To this
Cox of Indiana made emphatic protest.
declaring that for the past eight years
the postmaster general had had the
power to introduce steel cars in the serv-
ice and check the terrible loss of life
caused by the use OF wooden cars that
were inevitably smashed to splinters
whenever there was collision
Fighting each and every amendment
introduced to definitely set date when
all mail cars must be OF steel. Weeks
was finally beaten by the following meas
ure introduced by Madden of Illinois:
Provided further. That the postmas-
ter general shall not after the 1st day OF
July. 1916. approve or allow to be used.
or pay any rental for. any railway post
office cars not constructed of steel or
other non-combustible material"
Weeks denounced the proposed amend
ment with the lame statement that II
the wooden cars were not used in the
mail service the railroad companies
would put them to other uses and Just
as many people would be killed.
The house dividing showed 80 mem
bers in favor of the amendment and 81
against It. And so the first victory for
the clerks of the railway mail service
was won.

WHAT RAILROADS PAY FOR LABOR

p. II. Morrissey president OF the
American Railroad Employees and Invest.
ors' association. is endeavorng to boost"
the rates for freight by the following;
In no other industry in our country is
labor so largely employed as on the rail
way and none in which so large a pro-
portion of its gross earnings goes direct
ly to labor. Labor got s1.005. .3i9.95S
from the railroads in 1909. about IL per
cent of their gross earnings. In other
words. II received IL cents of every dol
lar earned by the railways. II is estl-
mated that labor will get at least $780,
000,0 900 more when the increases for 1910
are added. Manufacturing gave its labor
but 81 per cent. of its gross earnings in
1905. the last year for which we find any
statistics; and agriculture. the greatest
of all our industries, gives such an insig.
nificant percentage TO labor that It is
not worth the while to mention 1t in com.
parison.

sTRIKEsREAKERs ARE THIEVES.
Houses Being Robbed of Plumbing Ma
teriai by imported Men.

The arrest of Charles c. Nichols and
A. w. Gilbert, steamfitters, on the charge
of selling stolen goods to various second
hand stores and junk dealers of the city
has disclosed the fact that at least so
vacant houses in Denver have been
robbed in plumbing, light and gas fix
lures, window shades, in short, of every
thing movable and saleable, within the
last two months.
The two men arrested are non-union
men who were put to work TO break the
strike of the Plumbers and Steamftters
year or more ago.
A deputation from the Denver Real
Estate exchange. headed by President T.
Z. Hitchings, hearing of the arrest of
Gilbert and Nichols, called on Chief of
Police Armstrong last week and re-
quested his cooperation in an eff
fort to stop the practice of breaking into
empty houses. The real estate men who
went to the city hall were T. c. Hitch
ings, C. R. Stedman, E. Palmer Gallup,
H. w. Stilwell, E. F. Larsen, Fred R.
Ross, Henry Walker, W. T. Craft, V. A.
Tracey, John D. Bradley, H. j. Cloud and
James Cartwright. This delegation rep
resented several of the leading real es-
tate firms of the city.
The real estate men asked Chief
Armstrong to help break up the gang
that is robbing houses in all parts of the
city. They say that thousands of dollars
worth of material has been taken and
sold to junk dealers at a small percent
age of what it is worth
The chief is doing all he can to stop
the practice, but says that the releasing
of criminals from prison on parole after
the police have gone to great expense
to make arrests and get convictions, has
had much to do with the filling of Den.
yer with criminals.
But the real trouble with Denver is
the fact that the riffraff of the United
States have been brought here to act as
strikebreakers. and while they have been
acting in that capacity in the northern
coal fields and in Denver. and wherever
there is a strike, they have made Denver
their headquarters of operation, and have
preyed on the residents here until it is
almost unbearable. The remedy is the
passing of the anti-importation of strike
breakers bill now before the legislature

Fishers building. the Tramway building
and the Evans mansion in the Country
club district. The Plasterers are not af-
