DIAz MUST RETIRE
Dictator Must Retire to End HostiI-
ties In Mexico.


Ell Paso. Tex, May with the
prospects bright for peace on Friday
and the talk all turning to the dis
bandment of the army, today every
body is asking: What will happen
when the armistice expires?"
Madero says the armistice may not
be extended While preparations were
made for the resumption of the peace
conference, it being presumed that
something would be received one way
or the other from President Diaz on
the question of his resignation, all the
preparations were for naught and
there was no meeting.
The insurgent peace commissioners
announced fatty that the least they
would take from Diaz was a public
announcement that he intended to re-
tire on a certain date. If he would do
this they would not force him to agree
to resignation as one of the provis-
ions of the peace treaty. This was
wired to the president.
Judge Francisco Carbajal, chairman
of the Mexican commission, denied
that he had sent the message to Diaz
He said he didn't come here to discuss
presidential designations, but peace.
Oscar Braniff, a member of the fed
eral peace commission, said the mes
sage had been sent and that he didn't
! believe that Diaz would consider it or
reply to it.
In the insurrecto camp Francisco l.
Madero, provisional president, declin'
ed to say what would be done If nc
reply was received.
| Inasmuch as Francisco GobeZ is the
| insurrecto peace commissioner and
has put down the ultimatum that there
will be no further negotiations until
Diaz says something about his resig
nation, there are now fears of re
sumption of hostilities, as Gomez has
been looked upon all the time las the
/ bird of peace" the man who did more
than any other person except the
senior Madero to hold off the attack
on Juarez. If he agrees that peace is
not possible those who have watched
the situation look for nothing short Of
a resumption of hostilities.

FLOGGED BY WHITECAPS
Indiana Farmer Brutally Beaten by
Marauders.

Bloomington, Ind, May 6.-Harvey
McFarley, fifty-six years old, farmer
residing southeast of this city, was
the victim of a severe flogging at the
hands of white caps.
He was aroused by the mob, but re-
fused to open the door. The white
caps forced it, breaking it from the
hinges. McFarley put up stiff fight,
but was overpowered and dragged out
Of the house.
He was in the hands of the mob
about two hours and was terribly
beaten with stirrup feathers and was
then ordered to leave. He says he tore
the masks from the faces of three of
the men in the fight and that he re-
cognized them and will bring suit for
damages.
There have never been any charges
against McFarley, nor has he ever
been arrested. Though the mob charg
ed him with stealing turkeys no such
complaints were ever made openly
against him.

Demands Protection For
American CitizecS.
TWO MURDERED BY BANDITS
Ambassador Wilson Sends Word
That United States Citizens Are
in State of Great Alarm in
Mexico City.

Washington, May 1.-TWO Ameri-
cans, sons OF Judge Melvin Goldman,
have been murdered by revolutionary
bandits at their fathers hacienda,
Buena Suceso, near Acapulco, Mex.
This section is now in the hands OF
the rebels, although the city of AGA
pulco has not yet been captured.
Through Henry Lane Wilson, Ameri-
can ambassador at Mexico City, Sec
rotary of State Knox has demanded
that the Mexican government furnish
protection to the American citizens at
Acapulco, where conditions, according
to official reports, are described as
most disquieting" and "intolerable"
At the request of Ambassador Will
son the Mexican war Office has tele-
graphed to the commanding officer of
the regular troops at Acapulco direct
ing him to furnish protection to the
Americans there.
In spite of the fact that negotiations
for the restoration of peace between
the Mexican government and the in
surrectos are in progress in different
parts of Mexico, the Americans and
other foreign residents in Mexico City
are alarmed and anxious over the APP
parently dangerous conditions in the
republic. Reports were received at
the state department showing that
fighting is still in progress in many
sections of the country.
Ambassador Wilson telegraphed to
the state department saying that the
anxiety and alarm among the Ameri-
cans and other foreigners there was
increasing, and that this feeling, he
added, was probably due to the appre-
hension on the part of the Americans
that the pending peace negotiations
would fail and of consequent preva-
lence of anarchy, which would result
from a resumption of hostilities.
That the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can naval vessels sent to visit the
Mexican coast cities was mistake is
now privately admitted in official cir
cles. They were originally sent south
on the usual practice cruises, and If
it should become necessary to again
dispatch them to Mexican waters
there could be no concealment of the
real purpose of their movements.
The reference of the state depart
ment to the ''intolerable conditions"
existing at Acapulco is taken in some
quarters as a sign of the intention of
the government to dispatch cruisers
to that part and to Mazatlan as well.

Police at SeafOrd. DEL.
Dispense Mob.
BLACKS STARTED TROUBLE
Pushed White Women and Children
Into the Street and Mob Soon
Gathered to Drive Them
Out of Town.

Seaford, Del, May S.--A race riot
was narrowly averted here on Satur-
day night. and only the arrival of the
police and large force of special Of
ficers prevented an attack being made
on the colored residents of the town.
The trouble started as hundreds of
persons, mostly women and children,
were leaving Wright's Auditorium.
Several colored men took places on
came up, either stepped in front of
them or elbowed them off the side
walk into the street.
Leonard Hatfield resented these tao
tics and rebuked several of the col
ored men, who became insolent and
told him that they would do as they
pleased Hatfield knocked one of the
colored men, Harry Blockson, down
with a blow of his fist. Other colored
men took up the fight and Hatfield
knocked another one down, this time
with stone. The blow rendered the
colored man unconscious.
Small boys on the street, seeing the
ITdCdS, lnIU6uldlely SLdTJeu W run
every colored man seen out of the
town. They cried: Race riot" Get
your guns, xiii Them" "They can't
do in Seaford as they did in LAUREL"
and other phrases, calculated to stir
up trouble
Women screamed, and for a time
grave trouble appeared imminent, but
the police arrived and arrested the col
ored men and Hatfield All were TAX
en- before Mayor John P. Dulaney and
fined IS each.
Hatfield objected to paying the fine,
declaring that he was protecting the
white women, and the mob demanded
that the fine be RENTED and the col
ored men held for court. The fines
were paid later.
In the company of officers the col
ored men were led out of town, with
hundreds of the young men at their
heels, vowing vengeance. 1t was not
until late in the morning that quiet
was restored and at several times it
was feared that rioting would break
out with concerted attack on the
colored section of the town.

WHISKY UNDOING OF THIEVES
Gang Robbed Freight Station and Got
Drunk on Loot

Somerville, N. j., May S.-A case of
whisky was the undoing of a gang of
thieves who broke into the freight
station of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey at Bound Brook and carried off
a lot of merchandise.
County Detective Totten and two
deputies who took up the trail of the
robbers found four members of the
gang helplessly drunk in woods near
Middlebrook, about a mile from the
scene of the robbery. The thieves still
had in their possession several bot
ties of the whisky stolen from the sta
ton.
1t is believed that they buried most
of the loot taken from the station in
the woods before they became intoxi-
Gated, as only small quantity of it
was found in their possession, and the
detectives have been unable to locate
the remainder. Three members of the
gang, who were still able to run, fed
at the approach of the detectives and
have not been captured.

other pieces. When night came Butler
turned to the chest and sawed his way
out through the roof.
When Turf came to get his prisoner
in the morning, Butler was gone, and

Fl Republics Unite to Give
Him Peace Medal.
~'BENtFACTOR OF HUMANITY"
The First Time in History When
\ 90 Many Nations Have Joined
in Tribute to ar Indi-
vidual.

Washington, May 6. - Twenty-one
American republics united to honor
Andrew Carnegie, the disciple of uni
versal peace. They bestowed upon him
gold medal, bearing on one side the
words "Benefactor of Humanity" and
on the other THE American Republics
to Andrew Carnegie" The retired iron
master declared it was the greatest
mark of honor he ever received.
According to John Barrett, director
general of the Pan American Union,
it was the first time in history that
such a tribute from so many nations
had been paid to an individual. Senior
De Zamacona, the Mexican ambassa-
dor, made the speech of presentation;
Secretary of State Knox presided, and
President Taft spoke in eulogy of the
gifts which Mr.. Carnegie has made for
the cause of peace on this hemisphere
and throughout the world.
Members of the diplomatic corps
and men high in official life filled the
hall of the Pan American Union build
ing where the ceremonies were held,
and for the erection of which Mr.. Car
Degie gave almost million dollars.
In accepting the medal Mr.. Carne-
gle told OF his feelings on being in
formed of the honor conferred upon
him by the Pan American conference
at Buenos Ayres.
Il was sitting at my desk in the
Highlands of Scotland last autumn"
he said, when telegram was handed
to me, which | opened and read with
out seeming quite to grasp the mean
ing of the words. ] was stunned!
Was | dreaming? Gould such things
be and overcome us like a summers
cloud without our special wonder?'
my hands went to my forehead and
bent my head to my desk. Slowly
the truth developed and established
itself and | began to realize what 1t
all meant. Truly, my friends, | never
before felt so completely overwhelmed
and crushed as it dawned upon me
that the honor which the conference
had voted to confer was without par
allel; 160000,000 people forming
twenty-one sovereign nations, bestow-
ing upon poor me an honor the like
of which had never before been be-
slowed upon a human being"
Referring to President Taft's ad-
dress year ago when he voiced a
sentiment for a reign of peace among
the Pan American republics Mr.. Car
negie said:
"Thus the presidents first invitation
to establish reign of peace was prop
erly made to you. Much has taken
place since then. He recently held out
the olive branch of peace, and it in
stantly was accepted by the other
branch of our English-speaking race
wit hsuch enthusiasm, not by one but
by all parties, that today we have
every reason to believe that war as
means of settling disputes between the
two branches of our race will soon
become a crime of the past"
In offering thanks to the nations,
through their diplomats present for
the honor bestowed upon him, Mr..
Carnegie asked them to accompany
the expression with the ardent wish
on his part that prompt action should
be taken by the twenty-one republics
to establish a reign of peace by
adopting President Taft's policy of
submitting all disputes to arbitration.
