UNITED STATES TO LEAD
SAYS THIS GOVERNMENT WILL
TAKE INITIATIVE IN FRANZ
ING TREATIES
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS
ENGLAND, JAPAN AND FRANCE
OTHER WORLD POWERS FAv-
oRINo ARBITRATION

Washington, April g. Representa-
tive Foster of Vermont, the ranking
minority member of the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs, predicted
at the White House today that arbi-
tration treaties soon would be nego-
tiated between four of the greatest
powers of the world, the United
States to take the leading part in
framing the negotiations. Mr.. Foster
named the United States, Great Brit
ain, France and Japan as the powers
that would enter into such agree
ments. Eventually, he said, other
powers of the world would be forced
to take similar action. Mr.. Foster
said he had had personal conversa-
tions with the mayor of Toxic and
other Japanese of prominence and he
believed the sentiment of Japan was
in favor of such agreements.

DEMAND

Ell Paso, April 3.-Interest here in
the Mexican war situation centers to-
day in Francisco Madero, sr., and Al
fonso Madero, who arrived in Ell Paso
last night, presumably on a mission
of peace. The father and brother of
the insurgent leader have intimated
developments might be expected in
few days, and it is believed they are
here to await the arrival of messen-
gers from the insurgents chief, bring
ing the terms upon which he will con-
sent to a cessation of hostilities. That
these terms must be formulated by
men in the field, was declared by AL
fonso MADEIRA last night. That the
elder Madero's influence will be
strongly for peace, is the statement
of those who claim to know his at

A. p Leased Wire

will receive the support of it's pa
irons in it's new venture.
The securing of the full day re-
port is matter of qualification
to this paper. Its local columns
have always been filed with the
news up-to-date and the big i'm
provement in the telegraph dis
patch service will make it the
newsiest paper in northeastern
New Mexico.
1t was by cooperation that The
Optic secured the leased wire SER
vice. A new circuit mas been
formed, including Trinidad, Ration,
Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Albuquerque
and El Paso, newspapers IN each
of those cities receiving the COM
plete report.
The Optic will begin receiving
its new report Monday, April II,
just two weeks from today.
Watch for it.
The leased wire service will
make this newspaper the head
quarters for late dope on all i'm
portant events. If a big prize
fight is pulled of, The Optic will
be present through a representa-
tive Of the Associated Press and
Las Vegas people will learn the
. progress of the battle and final
result without delay. War news,
fires, political campaigns, baseball
and everything in which the peo-
pie are interested will be received
here and given publicity, import
ant events being bulletined in
front of the office.

! that while work on the case was
necessarily slow, the mounted police
would be able in a short time to
make some interesting disclosures re-
garding their operations. This morn
ing, when seen by a newspaper man,
he said: I'VE are up against stone
wall. No advancement has been made
in the case and possibilities of an
early arrest are now remote"
A short time later Fornoff held
conference with other officers. In the
party were some of the members of
the posses, who returned last night.
Then Fornoff hurTiedly packed up his
grip and prepared to take the train
for the north. It is believed that an
important clew had been picked up
and Fornoff, resourceful and full OF
nerve, at once prepared to run down
the clew and perhaps make an arrest.
Last night it was reported that two
of the kidnapers had been located in
the country south of here. Two autos
loaded with officers bristhng with
rifles and revolvers were dispatched
at once. They returned without their
quarry.
]. d. Hand, Los Alamos ranchel
who went out with a posse Friday at
ternoon, returned home early this
morning, after having been out two
days. He reported his cowboys hao
located the trail of two horsemen in
the country north and, east of Las
Vegas, at a distance of fifty or sixty
miles from the city The trail was
followed for many miles. At night
fall it was believed the two men had
been surrounded.
The officers have demonstrated by
experiment that the red lamp, placed
could be seen distinctly from thr
point where the child was delivered
to Will Rogers, uncle of the kid
naped boy. This leads to the supposl-
tion that but two men were involved
in the plot; one to take care of the
child and the other to receive the
money.
Public inerest in the chase for the
kidnapers has not waned. In fact, it
| u
is growing deeper. The longer the
members Of the gang remain at large
the stronger the sentiment against
them. 1t has been rumored that the
identity of the criminals has been dis
covered and that they are being
shielded because of their prominence.
1t is even reported that the money
may be returned

Kansas City, Mo-, April 3.-Twenty-
one of the fifty-eight men arrested
in yesterdays raid upon the Italian
quarter are still held by the police.
The other men were released dur
ing the night, satisfying the officers
after a gruelling examination that
they knew nothing of the murder
last Tuesday of Joseph Raimo, the
Italian policeman. Raimo is believed
TO have been the victim of an or
sanized Italian gang with headquart-
ers in Kansas City. Many shot guns,

near his home, where he was re-
leased and allowed to walk home.
Efforts were made to capture the
kidnapers, but neither of the two
men accused of the crime was
convicted.
Willie Whitla, the S-year-old
son of a rich lawyer in Sharon,
Pa, was kidnapped from school,
March IS, 1909. Letters to his
parents offered to give up the boy
in return for the payment of
$4,000. j. P. Whitla, the boys
father, tried to trap the kidnap-
ers by having officers at the meet
ing place. This failed, and at the
next rendezvous, which was
Cleveland, O., Whitla turned over
$4,000 in bills to one of the kid
napers. The boy was returned to
his father. This was March %.
The next day the man and woman
who had carried the boy off were
caught by the police. All except
about $500 of the ransom was
found sewed up in the woman's
skirt. The man, James H. Boyle,
was given a life sentence in the
Pennsylvania penitentiary and the
woman was sentenced to % years
in prison.
Charley Ross, a 5-year-old boy,
was stolen from his fathers home.
Christian K. Ross, in Baltimore,
Nd, July 1, 1874. Although the
father searched for years no trace
was ever found of the boy. Dozens
of young men with mysterious
childhoods have tried to convince
the world that they were Charley
Ross, but the child probably was
killed years ago.
Four-year-old Horace Marvin, the
son of DR.. Horace Marvin, of Kits
Hummock, Del. disappeared from
his fathers farm March 5, 1907.
Marvin offered $4,000 ransom, and
the police were active in trying
to find the chi,7. The kidnspers
became alarmed. as the penalty
for kidnapping in Delaware is
death, and killed the child. The
body was found on his fathers
farm May 4, 1907.

Keeping pace with the rapid ad-
vance of the territory, The Optic

other metropolitan feature. At
considerable expense this paper
has purchased the complete AS
sociated Press day report. A wire
has been leased especially for the
exclusive use of The Optic. 1t
will bring to Las Vegas six days
in each week news from all parts
of the globe. Patrons of The
Optic, each evening, can sit down
to read their papers knowing they
have available the best news SER
vice that can be obtained.
The Optic for years has been
member of the Associated Press.
1t has received the news carried
by that immense gatherer of facts
and given it to its readers. But
the service maintained has not
been the complete report. Every

of the brevity of the report. was

The reports will be received right

MEANS end OF LITIGATION
AS RESULT OF ToDAY's SALE I'M
PRovEMENTs AND ExTEN-
SIoNS WILL BE MADE

For $126,500 DR.. ]. M. Cunningham
this morning purchased the plant and
franchises of the Las Vegas Railway
and Power company for this corpora
ton. The purchase was made at a
public auction sale ON the east front
steps of the court house conducted by
Special Master w. B. Bunker. E. d.
Reynolds, representing w. A. Bud
decke and others was the only other
bidder for the property.
In opening the sale, Mr.. Bunker read
the legal notice. Then he announced
that no bid under 100000 would be
accepted. Mr.. Reynolds was the first
to bid, offering 100000. This is the
amount of money deposited by Bud
decke, the railway company and 9TH
ers upon order Of the court, as bona
fide bid and guarantee of good faith,
in order to secure the resale Of the
property. Both DR.. Cunningham and
Mr.. Reynolds raised the bid in $1,000
steps until $4,000 was reached. At
this point the bid advanced by raises
of $500. At $4,000 DR.. Cunningham
raised the bid to $4,000. From that
point it advanced $500 at time.
Before the bidding began, Percy
Carr, an attorney for the Trust Com
pany of St. Louis County. plaintiff In
the action under which a former sale
of the street railway and power COM
pany was made, announced his clients
would reserve the right to appeal the
matter to the United States supreme
court. During the bidding Mr.. Bunker
created little fun by suggesting that
some of the many spectators show
their sporting blood and do little
bidding,
The story of the litigation into
which the Las Vegas Railway and
Power company became involved Is a
long and tortuous one. On Decem-
ber 5, 1908, the district court for San
Miguel county rendered decree and
Judgment against the company in favor
of the Trust Company of st. Louis
County and ordered the property and
franchises sold. The judgment was
made upon 800 first mortgage coupon
bonds, aggregating 100000 issued by
the company to the Trust Company
of st. Louis County. The property
was sold, according to the court order,
a few months later. DR.. Cunningham
was the purchaser, the price being be-
ing between 100000 and $4,000.
Following the sale Buddecke and
the railway company appealed to the

kidnapping rich mems children
has long been one of the most
popular methods of extorting
money. Most of the kidnapers,
however. are captured, either be-
fore or after getting the ransoms
which they have demanded.
David T. Beals, jr.. son of the
late David T. Beals, who was
president of the old Union Nation.
al Bank of Kansas City, Mo-, was
kidnapped from his home Thanks
giving night, 1891, when he was
years old. A servant girl who
had been employed only few
weeks helped in the plot. While
the family was eating dinner and
young David was playing in the
hall, the maid picked him up and
gave him to man who was wait
ing at the front door. The child's
father advertised in the newspa-
pers next morning, offering $4,000
Tor the return of the baby, and
at 10 o'clock that night two men
returned with the child and re
ceived the money. Two men and a
woman had lived at 1928 Park
avenue and their actions excited
the suspicious of neighbor, who
reported to the police. The wo-
man, Elizabeth Slevidence, was the
maid at the Beals home. She and
one of the men, Albert King, were
arrested, convicted and sentenced
to serve term of five years in the
Missouri penitentiary The other
man escaped with the money
Edward Cudahy, the 15-year-old
son of Edward Cudahy, the Omaha
packer, was kidnapped while return
ing from a neighbor's house, De-
cember IS, 1900. He was carried
off in a buggy, by two men and
kept bound and chained in a room
in South Omaha for three days.
The abductors threw note in the
yard of his fathers home, offer
ng TO return the boy ior $4,000.

To Seek Recognition

Washington, April 3.-Assurances
that foreign interests in Mexico will
be adequately protected, are made by
Francisco /. Madero, jr., president of
the provisional government of Mexico,
IN communication addressed to Sec
retary of State Knox and the diplo-
matte representatives of other inter-
ested governments. The text of the
document was made public today.
In setting forth forth at consider
able length the reason which impelled
the insurrectionary movement in
Mexico, the note declares it is just
because the people of Mexico have ex-
hausted every legal and peaceful re-
course to obtain much needed reforms;
that it is patriotic because it has
no other object than to establish
constitutional regime in Mexico and

opinion written by Justice Holmes, to
give its aid to such an attempt on
the ground it would afford the man

Four days have elapsed since the
sensational kidnapping of little
Waldo Rogers; three days have gone
by since ransom of $4,000 was paid
for his safe return to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Rogers, Jr.
Though the town has been filed with
mounted policemen and trained detec-
tives since the parents, cowed by
the kidnapers into silence until the
child had been redeemed, gave the
first intimation of the crime, not an
arrest has been made. Rumors of
every character are in circulation, but
the officers are neither denying or af-
firming them.
While they are not saying much
the mounted police and the Santa Fe
detectives, under the leadership OF
Captain Fred Fornoff and Timothy
OLeary of Pueblo, are extremely ac-
tive. That they have some definite
plan upon which they are working
is well known, but they absolutely re-
fuse to disclose the nature of their
operations or the lines upon which
they are carrying on their investi-
cation.
The officers are making close in
spections of the ground covered by the
kidnapers during their operations. At
the point where the money was paid
over they have had number of
photographs made. A local photograph
er has taken pictures of tracks found
in that vicinity. 1t is said these are
being compared with bootmarks and
may lead to the Identification of the
kidnapers. The Rogers home has
been given thorough search in the
hope of finding evidence that will re-
suit in the picking up of a clew.
Practically all of the posses have re-
turned to the city and the work of the
officers was confined yesterday to the
CITY limits and the country imme-
diately surrounding Las Vegas. Yes
terday afternoon vacant adobe
house near Romeroville, short dis
tance south of Las Vegas, was search
ed. It is believed the child might
have been kept in this building dur
ing the the time he was in the posses
sion of his abductors. The building
showed evidences Of occupancy and a
couple of billiard balls we're found
there. These are believed to have
been given the child as play things. 1t
was impossible, however, to find trails
leading from the house that were OF
sufficient definiteness to follow.
It is believed this afternoon that the
officers have discovered another clew.
Captain Fred Fornoff of the Mounted
Police boarded Santa Fe train No. 10
at 2:10 o'clock. He refused to divulge
his destination, stating he was "going
up the)road" and would be back TO-
morrow or tonight The reason for
his hurried departure has caused
much comment. That Fornoff will
bring back with him one or more mem.
bers of the kidnapping gang Is the be
lief of many persons.
