Peace Seems Near.

El Paso, Tex, May 17.-Francisco
|. Madero, the provisional president
of Mexico, and Francisco Carbajal,
the federal peace commissioner. both
declare that the prospects are bright
for peace, that the next few hours will
bring definite results.
Madero has agreed to recede from
his demand for four cabinet members
and accept three-the portfolios OF
war, justice and gobernacion, the lat
ter meaning the control of the govern
ment of the states. The insurrectos
also get fourteen of the twenty-seven
governors.
Diaz only wished to concede the in
surrectos one of the cabinet Offices,
who at first held out for four. He
was willing to permit them to have
theportfolio of gobernacion, which is
now vacant, the incumbent of which
will have more to do with restoring
peace throughout the country than
any other man. Without the ministry
of war and the portfolio of justice,
however, the insurrectos say they will
be handicapped. The insurrectos wish
to completely overhaul the courts.

BLAMEs LINCOLN FOR WAR
Confederate Veterans Cheer Message
From Taft

Little Rock, Ark, May 17.-"Dixie'
melodies, sung by choirs from all parts
of the south, overshadowed routine
business at the opening session OF the
United Confederate Veterans twenty.
first reunion here.
General Gordon, the COMMANDMENTS
chief, announced that a telegram of
greeting had been received from Pres
ident Taft. 1t is the first message OF
this sort to be sent to a Confederate
reunion by a Republican president.
The veterans cheered generously and
shouted Tell him that we knew we
were right"
R. c.. Cave, of st. Louis, the orator
of the day, declared in the course of
his address: Il hold that the respon-
sibility for the Civil War, with all the
blood and treasure that it cost and all
the desolation and ruin that 1t wrought
Justly rests upon Abraham Lincoln
and his advisers"
Mr. Cave asserted that he spoke not
in bitterness, that he was simply dis
cussing the facts of history, and that
he accepted the changed conditions
brought about by the war. "Neverthe-
less" exclaimed the st. Louis veteran,
when the Confederacy fell, the repub-
lie as formed by the fathers persisted.
The states were robbed of their indie
pendence and became subject prov
inces of a centralized national author
ity."
In speaking of the new accord that
has developed between the north and
the south, Mr.. Cave said: Il want to
see the people of both sections ruled
by the spirit of fraternity and har-
moniously working together for the
welfare OF our common country, but
do not think the men of the south
should be asked or expected to sacri-
fee the truth of history and go down
to posterity branded as rebels and
traitors to secure that end"

TO PROBE STEEL TRUST
House Adopts Resolution Providing
For Investigation.

~ th"~Sh'SossSh
Washington, May 17.-An investiga-
ton Of the United States Steel cor
poration to determine whether it is
operating in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law was ordered by the
house when it adopted the Stanley
resolution providing for such an in
quiry.
The resolution, which Is aimed to
disclose whether the United States
Steel corporation has any connection
with the Pennsylvania railroad, the
Pennsylvania Steel company, the Cam
bria Steel company and other con-
Germs, was adopted without opposition
following a short debate. A committee
of nine members to be elected by the
house will be authorized to conduct
the investigation.
Mr.. Stanley declared that the char
acter of the United States Steel cor
poration's charter and the method of
it's organization made it manifest
violation of the law, as interpreted in
the Northern Securities case.
Referring to the supreme courts
decision in the Standard Oil case hold
ing that a reasonable" restraint of
trade was lawful, Mr.. Stanley said he
would not discuss the law passed by
the supreme court"

WONT CALL ON TAFT
Reciprocity Foes Decline Invitation to
White House.

Washington, May 17.-An indication
OF the feeling of the opponents OF Ca
madam reciprocity against President
Taft was shown by the members Of
the North Dakota delegation, which
has been here for several days antag-
onizing the measure before the senate
committee on finance, when they re-
fused to accept an invitation to call
upon the president.
Arrangements to enable them to go
to see the president were made by
Representative Hanna. The delegation
assigns as their reason for refusing to
call upon the president their feeling
toward him because of his attitude
upon reciprocity which they believe Ia
inimical to their interests.
In the delegation are two former
governors of the state, a former lieu
tenant governor and several promi-
nent citizens, all OF them Republicans,

Jury Finds Banker Not Guilty OF
Bribery.

bribery.
Pittsburg, Pa, May 16-Frank N
Hoffstat, the banker and manufacturer,
was acquitted on the charge of brib-
cry In connection with the bank de
pository ordinance exposed in the
Pittsburg councilmanic graft crusade.
A week ago a jury disagreed in a
case of conspiracy aSninst Hoffstot.
The case had been on trial for two
days, and after the failure of an ef-
fort by his attorneys to have the court
instruct the jury to return a verdict
finding him not guilty, Hoffstot went
on the witness stand in his own be-
half.
He denied that he had any knowl-
edge of the bribery of councilmen to
pass the bank depository ordinances
until after the exposure of the coun-
cilmanic scandal
The defense in the case gained an
important point when Judge John D..
Shafer sustained an objection to ex-
Councilman Charles Stewart, telling
what he did with $4,000, which was
turned over to him in New York.
The defense claimed that II he
could not testify that he brought the
money into Allegheny county he could
not say he distributed it among the
councilmen.

FEDERAL TROOPS TURN BACK

FEDERAL TROOPS TURN BACK

Mexico City, May 1.-THE force OF
federal troops which was being rush
ed to Pachuca, the capital of the state
OF Hidalgo, captured Sunday by the
rebels, turned back on orders from
Mexico City.
The rebels have imprisoned Gov
ernor Rodriguez and named Joaquin
Gonzales provisional governor.
The rebels in their efforts to re-
store order killed forty rioters.
Rioting and pillage occurred at Pa
chuca The rebels became drunk and
defied their commanders. The towns
people In terror barricaded themselves
in their homes and remained in con-
cealment.
The banks were dynamited.
The city is quiet, but business is at
standstill. All of the banks have
been wrecked, though the vaults are
still intact. The state records and
other governmental documents have
been burned.
Joaquin Gonzales, who has been
named provisional governor by the
rebels, had been imprisoned by the
governor. The rebels stormed the Jail
and succeeded in liberating the pris-
oners. The governor later was cap
tured in the Office of the Jefe Politico.
Close to the Capital.
Pachuca is mining city of 10000
population, capital of the state of Hi
AaIn vi or nj
Mexico City. Sunday night it fell into
the hands of the revolutionists under
Colonel Castrejon, who is operating
under the direction of General Figue-
roa.
The capture was effected without
fighting, the invaders swarming into
the city from surrounding hillsides and
taking possession of the government
buildings without shot being fred.
There was promise that order would
be maintained, but when the govern
ment authority had been replaced by
that of the revolutionists order gave
way to license.
During the night many of the rebels
helped themselves literally to the sa-
loon supply and, half crazed. were soon
out of hand. The rioters ran through
the streets shouting and shooting pro-
miscuously.
After a little the lawlessness took
the form of robbery. Charges of dyna-
mite were placed under the walls Of
the banks and exploded.
The rioters then turned their atten-
ton to the commercial houses. which
were robbed of such of their stocks as
the mob wished to carry away.
Advices are that order has been re-
stored by 800 rebels under command
of Gabriel Hernandez.
The revolutionists declare that the
rioting was the work of townspeople.

AFTER labor MEN
New Contempt Suit Against
6OmperS and Others.
THEY MAY 60 TO JAIL
Lawyers For Bucks Stove Company
Named by Justice Wright in
Washington to Report
to Court.

Washington. May 1.-THE supreme
court of the District of Columbia on
the equity side instituted proceedings
which probably foreshadow new &C
ton against Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor; Frank Morrison, secretary OF
the organization, and John Mitchell,
member of the federation council, for
contempt of court in the Bucks Stove
and Range company case
The new proceedings are taken in
conformity with the hint given in the
supreme courts decision.
The sentences of Imprisonment i'm
posed on these men by the court were
revoked by the United States supreme
court and the case remanded to the
District of Columbia supreme court.
but under the proceedings started new
Jail sentences may be imposed and
the entire case reopened on its merits.
Mr.. Gompers when told of tie action
of the district court said:
Justice Wright can go just as far
as he likes. He will find that we are
nOb oWoJ AAOS OfSA AASA~
him."
The United States supreme court, in
setting aside the sentences of impris-
onment, held that the case on which
the lower court had acted constituted
a civil contempt against the Bucks
Stove and Range company, and that
the offense was punishable only by
fine to be recovered by the wronged
corporation.
Justice Lamar, In handing down the
opinion, called attention to the fact,
however, that If the lower court itself
felt aggrieved it could bring criminal
contempt proceedings in the premises
and inflict jail sentence.
The opinion, in closing. read:
1.-The judgment of the court of APP
peals and the supreme court Of the
District of Columbia are revoked and
the case remanded with direction that
the contempt proceedings instituted
by the Bucks Stove and Range com
pany be dismissed, but without preju-
dice to the power and right of the SUI
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia to punish by proper proceeding
contempt, if any, committed against
it."
The lower court has been quick to
take advantage Of the opportunity af-
forded TO reopen the case. AS the labor
dispute which brought the case into
court had been ended. it was presumed
that nothing further would be heard
of the case.
Justice Wright, of the District of
Columbia supreme court, who had i'm
posed the revoked sentences OF twelve.
nine and six months upon Gompers.
Mitchell and Morrison, in instigating
the proceedings, appointed Joseph j.
Darlington, Daniel Davenport and
James M Beck, counsel for the Bucks
Stove and Range company, as a COM
mittee to inquire forthwith" into the
question OF whether the labor leaders
had violated the courts order.
The committee was instructed to re-
port to the court whether, In the opin-
ion of the committee, the labor leaders
were guilty of contempt in violating
the Injunction against the publication
of the I'VE Don't Patronize" list in
the American Federationist, the OFF,
cial organ of the labor federation.

CARDINALS NARROW ESCAPE
Prelate Nearly Run Down by Automo-
bile In Baltimore.

bile In Baltimore.
Baltimore, Md, May 18.-Cardinal
Gibbons and a companion were caught
on st. Paul street between two autos
and the venerable prelate had a mar
row escape.
AS witnesses related it, an automo
bile, obeying the traffic law as it con
Germs direction, but not speed, came
up St. Paul street, turned wide and
went west ON the north side of Mount
Royal avenue. He cleared" the car
dinaI easily. The confusion came when
another car came south on st. Pau
street. The cardinal was about ten
feet in the street and the chauffeur
swung too close.
The cardinal is an active man in
spite of his age, but the chauffeur
blew his horn after the manner OF
chauffeurs who own the streets. The
cardinal and his companion moved
quickly to get out of the way, but the
chauffeur evidently had no idea OF
waiting on them and tried to beai
them across.
1t all happened very quickly, but in
that instant the car was only a few
inches from hitting the cardinal.
1T is fact" admitted the car
dinal, that my companion and had
to run to escape an accident, but
would not say it was all the chauf
feur's fault. because we were con
fused, and that doubtless confused the
chauffeur"
