The Democratic editors of the state

which will likely turn out to be a po-

the plan at this meeting is to try to
agree upon candidates for state offices
and wipe out any faction that has ap-

eminent Bourbons. All the candidates
are sure to be here, and their friends

Madero was astir early today prepara-
tory to his departure at 10:S0 for
Mexico City to discuss a new govern
ment for Mexico.
Going by way of Eagle Pass, Tex,
Senior Madero intends, after crossing
the border, to travel in a special train
guarded by armed insurrectos. He will
visit Torreon, Zacatecas and Aqua

section of tNe country. Senior Madero

accompany him include Raoul Madero.
his brother, and Francisco Madero, ST.,
his father, Colonel Giuseppe Garibaldi
and many minor officers, who partici-
pated in the revolution.
The little white House." on the
banks of the muddy irrigation ditch
near Juarez, where Madero had estab-
lished his headquarters, presented a
busy scene today. Wagons of docu-
ments pertaining to the business Of the
revolution were hauled to the train,
and messengers on horseback were
kept galloping between officers head
quarters to give final orders for the
departure. Senor Madero himself was
greatly pleased with the prospects of
his reaching Mexico City. 1T is Of
course the climax of the revolution he
said, 'it seems our triumph is COM
pleted; we began our fight in the open
field; we are marching in peace to the
stronghold of those who were once our
foes. No one six months ago would
have believed that so great a change
could come to a country. Then the
country was divided between bitter
enemies, now trust all the hatred will
be forgotten, for after all it was a
hatred merely-for a social condition. AS
| Mexicans we are all brothers 1 trust
tranquility will spread throughout the
land"
Just before the time set for his leav-
ing Senor Madero heard of the Iootins
of the city of Parral, an important min
ing center near Jiminez. A band OF

beaten by a big majority, ought to
step out of the way now and let the
man run who last fall cut the Repub-
ncan majority in the state into shoe
strings. Farrelley, however, believes
that the Stubbs-Curtis fight for the
Republican nomination will make it
easy picking for the Democratic candi-
date, and he wants to reap where he
sowed three years ago. Hodges wants
to harvest the crop he sowed last fall.

two Democratic candidates mentioned
for governor. Both of these gentlemen
may enter the race.

BRISTOW IS SARCASTIC.
Kansas senator scores Colleagues for
Action on Lorimer.

washington, June 2.-Senator Lori
mer 1llO faces another investigation at
the hands of his colleagues. The in
quiry will be conducted by a suDcom-
nittee of the committee on privileges
and elections, composed of four Repub-
licans and four Democrats, four of
whom voted for the conviction and four
for the acuuittal of the senator last
session. The method selected is regard
ed as the latest thing in jury trials.
IT took seven hours debate to agree
upon the system and it was finally
adopted by a vote ofs4S to 20, being sub
stituted for the plan urged by Senator
IaFollette of turning the case over to
five senators who were not members
when the case was voted upon before
and therefore were supposed to be un-
biased.
. Before the vote was taken Senator
Bristow, who favored the LaFollette
plan, accused Senator Dillingham;,
chairman of the election committee, Of
having capitulated in the interest of Il
Democratic scheme Of turning the in
vestigation over to a subcommittee.
This charge was based upon the fact
that the author of the resolution adopt
ed was Senator Martin, the Democratic
leader. Mr.. Bristow also claimed that
the old guard Republicans had formed
an alliance with the Democrats and
that they had placed the mantle Of
Aldrich" upon the shoulders of Martin.
Most of the insurgent --epublican
senators voted against substituting the
Martin resolution. OF the 20 negative
votes, 13 were cast by Republicans

kind to be built in Kansas.
The big craft looks resplendent IN
the sun-all silvery in effect. From
the propeller at the front to the rud-
der at the back of the machine the dis
tance is 26 feet. The two large front
planes are IL by feet each which gives
a wing expanSe for the machine, in
cluding the space between the planes
where the operator sits of 26 feet.
The rear planes are IL feet from TIP
to tip. and are provided with horizon
tai rudders for raising and lowering the
flying machine. The planes are fitted
with double service ribs which gives
additional strength.
The weight of the machine is 4Oo
pounds and the engine used is one OF
local construction, the Bredel brothers
having designed it themselves
This Engine Pulls.
Its horsepower is "a and it is cap
able of sending the propeller, which
is French made and spoon like in ap-
pearance, around at the terrific pace
of from 800 to 1900 times minute.
This engine pulls instead OF pushes'
as is the case with an engine OF a pl-
plane such as was operated by BUD
Mars last year. The speed of the
propeller is so great that when one
stands in the garage in which the
to keep his hat on without holding it.
The propeller is six feet and two
inches broad.
With the exception of the propeller
the silk and a few other parts the ma
chine was made in Topeka. The
framework is of oregon pine which
was brought here especially for the
use of the Bredel brothers.
There are $50 square feet of inn
ported silk used in connection with
the planes.
Hino Bredel is the one who made the
first flight. He was for several years
employed in the Pierce-ArroW automo-
bile factory at Buffalo, N. Y. He was
employed by the Smith Auto company
in Topeka and worked in the Santa Fe
machine shops.
The two brothers originally hailed
from Leipsic, Germany. A number of
years ago Hino drove for the Thomas
automobile company in Chicago
while races in that city were in pro-
gress, and in 1910 he made record
covering sixty-five miles in ST minutes
with a Sterling car ne was driving in
Kansas City.
Kurt was employed in the Mann
helm factory in Germany, where the
Benz car is manufactured which has
broken records in this country.
The Bredel brothers expect to be-
gin the construction of a much larger
one now that they have found that
the machine will fly.
Robert Blaylock, formerly with the
North Brothers Stock company, is
managing affairs for the Bredel broth
ers. He has practically closed three
dates at Des Moines on condition, OF
course, that the flights of the machine
prove successful, and now he is in Ne
braska making arrangements for
flights.

SHE CLUNs TO A LOG.
Young Woman Is Rescued After Float
ing Nearly 20 Hours.

McA1ester, Okla, June 2.-After float
ing on log in flooded stream for
nearly 20 hours Miss Sallie Glover, who
with her mother and two sisters, was
swept into the Canadian river by a
freshet yesterday, was found today in
Gaines creek, two miles above where
that stream empties into the Canadian.
She was to have been married today.
Miss Glover was unconscious. PhySi-
clans said she had a chance for recov-
cry. No trace has been found of Miss
Glover's mother and her two younger
sisters, last night reported drowned.
The family was crossing the river in
wagon at a ford when a wall of wa
ter swept them away. Miss Glover's
escape from death in the swift current
is regarded as hard to explain. She
was carried up Gaines creek by the
backwater. The damage done to prop
erty by high water is small The wa

Crawford, Cummins, Dixon, Gronna, ].
Kenyon, LaFollette, Perkins and Poin-
dexted-and seven by Democrats
Davis, Hitchcock, Lea, Martin, New
lands, Owen and Pomerene.
The resolution adopted merely pro-
vides that the investigation shall be
conducted by the elections committee.
1t was in connection with the under
standing on the part of many senators
that a bipartisan and bi-Lorimer COM
mittee waa to be named that brought
out most of the criticism.
The discussion of the alleged agree
ment as to the delegation of the inquiry
to a subcommittee was precipitated by
Mr.. Bristow. He said he had been ad-
vised that the investigation was not to
be made by the committee as a whole
but by a subcommittee and that the
leaders of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties had reached an. under
standing concerning the committees s
personnel. In discussing what he term
ed the "capitulation" of Senator Dill
ingham, he said he accepted this act as
temporary tranference of leadership
to the Democratic side. 1t was with
feeling of regret, he said, that he saw
the mantle of Aldrich fall upon the
shoulders of a Democrat. He added
that he found consolation in the fact
that transfer had become necessary
Mr.. Gallinger had not been able to
don the MANTLE said Mr. Bristow.
"and it had not been found to fit Mr.
Penrose. For some strange reason, it
had not been rendered to Mr.. Lodge
and not until the wolves had scattered
the sheep had there been any success
in finding leader. But now that a
coalition has been formed, the man has
been found and the senate knows
whence its signals are to come"
Continuing in this satirical vein, Mr.
Br1stow said he wondered whether the
new leadership would continue so as to
control the Lorimer legislation, tariff
and other matters. He wondered
whether this leadership would go fur
ther and protect the Hines lumber in
terests and take care of the duty on
iron ore.

Nelson asked
VIII it insure reciprocity?" Mr..
Bristow corrected.
