The Toll of CareIessness.
Baltimore American.

bdIIIIIIUTt lAIIIcTICdTl.
Following the fire disaster in New York
permanent committee of public safety
is to be formed to take practical measures
for fire prevention in the city. One step
in such measures should be to call atten-
ton to the dangerous carelessness which
prevails and to subject it to legal penalties.
There is a terrible annual toll in the way
of the sacrifice of life paid to this crimi-
nal carelessness, but so far the general
public fails TO recognize the seriousness
of the matter.

1t is to be noted that the solicitude
of the democratic minority for re-

the present congress in which the
house democrats have a majority. In

looks good to a democrat only when
needed to help the democrats out of

SIGNING OF TREATY.
Representatives of Diaz and Madero Meet By Electric Light and
 Hug One Another.

Juarez, May 22-If President Diaz and Vice. President Corral sign it by June l. the conditional treaty signed here, last night, wiM automatically become the final peace pact. If they continue in office after June 1, the treaty will expire and Francisco l. Madero and his troops will resume fighting.
 The formal signing of the condition and Madero was attended by pie tlresque scene. At 10 o'clock, Sunday night. four automobiles, carrying three representatives each, of Diaz and Madero, dashed through the streets of JuareZ to the customs house. For some reason this building was locked. The autos were then formed into a semi-cfrcle across the street and their lights were focused on the entrance to the custom house. The Diaz and Madero representatives got their heads together in separate places 20 feet apart and perused the articles of the conditional treaty by the auto lamps. When 1t was found that both parties accepted the terms of the pact, Francisco I. Madero furnished a fOun- tain pen for the Signers. At this june ture a street car stopped between the auto lights and the peace. envoys for several minutes.
 Newspaper correspondents lighted matches and by their flare the treaty was signed Then each Of the peace envoys hugged off on the other men the joy which the occasion brought. Their shadows fell on the walls of the customs house during this pre- ceeding and the sounds of back slap ping which accompanied the hugging resounded through the streets.

HOW TO STOP FIGHTING.
Rebel Chieftafn's Father Says It Will Take Time for Madero to Effect
 His Purpose.

Juarez May 22.-The real test o1 the strength of Francisco I. Madero in the Mexican revolution, is at hand
 Whether he will be able to stoI the fighting in the republic, now that he has brought about the signing ot the peace agreement is the grave question agitating his followers.
 The rebel chieftain's father said today:
 'It will take a long time to get the peace news abroad. When we send the agreements to the insurrec- to bands, telling them not to fight they will think the messages are false orders sent by the Diaz governmen Therefore. they pay no attention to stich messages and go on fighting as before.
 "The whole republic is overrun with insurrectos. Rebellion has swept over the country like a flame and my son does not really know how great his army is.''
 Fighting is expected to continue sporadically until Madero reaches Mexico City. The report that Gen. eral Figuera will refuse to accept the peace terms as signed, is denied by Madero. He asserts that F,iguera will cooperate with the provisional gov ernment in every way and that his forces will disband as soon as Diaz has left the presidency

Strong Division
 Over Extension
 Of Trolley Line
Majority of Committee on Streets and Sidewalks Fa-
 vOr Layout Over Crane
Land
Minority Wants Line to Proceed Through South Avenue to the Dyke = Much Buttonholing of Al dermen.

The feeling of the Board of Alder men in relation to the extension of the trolley lines to the west end of Seaside park was tested, when at a recent hearing the motion to bring up the matter of the extension in one week instead of two was lost by a vote of 17-7. The aldermen then held extension for two weeks, to give those whose interests should be consulted, a chance to be heard.
 With the hearings all in. the Streets and Sidewalks committee will make a report this evening in favor of the extension from Park avenue, through South avenue to Iranistan avenue to Atlantic street over property offered to the city by the Crane Co.,, to the Barnum dyke. This conclusion was reached at the recent meeting of the committee, only through the breaking g of tie vote by the chairman. Alder man Clampett. Two members of that committee, Alderman Walker and Mey- CT opposed; Alderman Brady and Jackson favored. Alderman Walker and Meyer believed that the extension should go out South avenue to the dyke, concurring in their views with Aldermen Clarity and Mahoney, both from the Second district, wherein the extension lines are to be laid. Alder man Jackson favored the route be- cause it had been recommended by the Park Commission and all of the man. ufacturers it would affect and be- cause he felt it was the better; also that it would materially hasten the construction Of the line. <. Aldermen Welher and Meyer all along have op- posed Atlantic street. ,
 Alderman Walker stated this morn ing that a minority report would be submitted to the council this even ing, favorfng the extension from Park avenue, through South avenue straight to the dyke, past the plant of the Crane Go.

Especial from United Press.)

lSDoCldl On1Ieu Pr6SS.)
 Mexico City, May 22-Upon the re- signing of peace agreement ir Juarez it was stated, today, in capi- tai circles, that President Diaz will not prolong his term of office beyond May A, the opening day of a period in which he has agreed to retire. The President will go to Vera Cruz and sail for Europe on the French liner Espagne He will stop enroute in Havana and consult General Bernardo Reyes.
 President Diaz had given his prom ise to retire between the dates of May "A and June 1, in the event peace eral Reyes, houneward bound from France, was intercepted at Havana, by Diaz. last week, and instructed to re- main in Cuba, temporarily.
 The inSurrectoS of southern Mexico scored an important victory, yeSter- day, when General Ffguera captured Cuernavaca south of the capital The Federal officials were allowed to leave the town. F1guera met practically no resistance.
 Advices received, today, from the Torren district tend to confirm reports that disorder bordering on anarchy exists there. Insurrectos captured the town and the Federal soldiers at Jim ulco, 40 miles away, were prevented from interfering with the peace agree ment.
 The effect of the Madero peace agreement in the south is uncertain as Figuera is reported to be deter mined to resist peace under MaderO. Figuera commands 5000 armed insur- rectos and carries three machine guns.

SAYS PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE CHEAPER BEEF President of Live Stock ASSOcia. ton in Town as Guest of
 Col. Heft More Nutriment in the Cheaper Cuts of Meat, He De-
 clareS

'In my judgment 1t will require five years to readjust the price of beef to a lower level,'' declared William Skin her, president of the International Live Stock association, in an inter- Bridgeport for a day or two as the guest of Col. N. H. Heft, with whom he is associated in the directorate of the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad.
 'It is the delivery and credit system of today that causes the high prices, continued MT. Skinner; the packers ask their fair toll. or percentage. or nothing more. The truth is, I think the people have been a little hysteri- cal on the beef question.
 ''Did you ever stop to think he con- tinued, that 80 per cent of the peo- pie of this country prefer the meat that constitutes only 20 per cent of the carcass? I refer to the preference is partly pride and partly ignorance.
 "A woman buys the most expensive cuts of meat to give the impression. among other things, that her husband s income is sufficient to enable her to live as we'll as the family of MT. Jones.
 EVeTy one WHO kIDoWS the Ln1Crlt1V0 value of meats knows that there is vastly more nutriment in flank steak than in porterl1ouse. Consequently the flank steak for mine and the pot roast. It is all in the cooking, so far as tenderness is concerned. take the 80 per cent as basis of selection for my own uSe.'
 Col. Skinner took a rap at the 'woman's rights advocates by declar- ing that he believes that the growth of the clubwornan movement is partly responsible for the high price of meat. In fact, Col. Skinner thinks that al- most everything under the sun Is re- sponsible for the high price of meat. excepting the cattIemen and the beef trust.
 MT. Skinner is treasurer of the Den yer, Laramie & Northwestern Rail- road, which, when completed, will be the shortest route between Denver and Seattle by 300 miles Sometime during the week of the 21st MT. Skin ner, President Charles R. Johnson of the Company, and Col. Nathan H. Heft of Bridgeport, Conn.,, vice presi- dent and director will leave with a party of gentlemen from New York for trip over the route of the rail- road now complete to point near Greeley, Colorado.
