where he chooses or to his best adj
vantage are unreasonable restraint
of trade and a violation of the Sher-
man law. The suit is not intended as
an attack on the middle man as such
because the department of justice takes
the position that there is legitimate
business opportunity for him.
1t is known that while the depart
ment has been making nation wide
investigation of the question as it re-
lates to lumber, its agents have re-
ported to Attorney General Wicker
sham that the case is nearly parallel
ed in the marketing of many other
commodities in daily use by the
American family. If the courts sus-
tanned the governments contentious in
this case there is promise of sweep
ing attack all along the line upon SINH
lar alleged conspiracies. Officials of
the department of justice regard the
case as the most important in principle
of all the antitrust suits the govern
ment had undertaken.
Attorney General Wickersham has
personally directed the gathering of the
evidence which has occupied more than
MeKercher. who has been in active
charge of the preparation of the case,
filed the bill today which was also
signed by Henry A. Wise. United
States district attorney at New York;

by an Tnsurrecto leader.
He added that Francisco l. Madero
Jr., would not go to Mexico city until
De La Barra was installed in power
He then might go to the capital to as
sist in tranquilizing the country.

No peace agreement will be signed

DIAZ RECEIVES CALLERS.
Presidents Condition Continues Salts
factory-Mob Leader Executed.

Mexico City. Mex, May 1.-THE con-
dition of President Diaz continued to-
day satisfactory to his physicians who
said that it was likely that the execu-
tive would leave his room during the
day. He is said to be in good spirits
and except for the trouble caused by
an liberated tooth. in excellent health.
This morning he received GALES in his
chamber at the palace and transacted
some official business. The news that
Francisco l. Madero. Jr., the leader OF
the rebellion, is to come so soon to the
capital was received with great inter
est here. When it was communicated
last night to Foreign Minister De La
Barra he appeared surprised but said
he would facilitate Maderos arrival
by any further agreements that might
be necessary pending the visit.
The coming of Madero is accepted
here as meaning that the arnistice
will be continued as permanent peace
pact basis.
Advices from Patucha today state
that Delgado Medrano, who was prov
Ell by investigation to have been the
leader of the mob that pillaged the
last night. The execution was ordered
by Col. Gabriel Hernandez the revolu-
tionary commander and was witnessed
by members of the Mexican White
Cross and many prominent citizens

ment.

SOME UNEASINESS
In Mexico City Over Rumored Plot to
Assasinate Madero.

Mexico City, May 19.-Although gov
eminent officials deny knowledge of
any plot TO capture or assassinate
Francisco |. Medero. Jr., the revolu-
tionary leader or in any manner inter
fere with him should he come to the
capital, the story that such a plan had
been detected served today to increase
public tension.
Residents of the capital are speculat-
ing tonight regarding the probable ac-
ton of the rebels should they give
full credenee to the report true or not
Senior Madero to an extent that has
caused. him to postpone his trip to the
capital to consult with Senior De La
Barra concerning peace.
BY the conservative element it is
doubted if proof of the story can be
supplied and without proof it is not
believed that any of the rebel leaders
will show a belHgerent spirit.
The source of Maderos information
concerning the alleged plot is not
known here.
At police headquarters it is admitted
that anonymous letters have been reeeiv-
ed telling of the existence of plot No
names We're given in the letters and the
police are attempting to discover the
identity of the conspirator. Government
officials express regret that they should
be suspected of such treachery.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes. returning from
Europe. had been expected to arrive in
the capital Sunday morning. His arriv-
al at Havana and the announcement that
he had received orders not to proceed to
Vera Cruz until further instructions were
made known here tonight What dspo-
sition will be made of Gen. Reyes when
he arrives in Mexico is not known. Tn
doubtedly he was asked to return from
Europe to be minister of war but re-
cent developments make his entering the
cabinet doubtful.
1t was announced today that the war
department had sent orders to all troops
to observe the terms of the armistice. al
though nothing has yet occurred to in
dictate that the armistiee has been delib-
erately violated by either side.

government to install our provisional
governors. This must, be done by the
state legislatures themselves.
When all these things are done, then
alone can We proclaim peace. Of course.
peace is assured. 1t is matter of meth
cd only"
The naming of the new cabinet which
is to surround Provisional President De
La Barra was the chief work of the day
among rebel leaders Senior Madero did
il with the assistance of his advisers
The new Mexican cabinet. according to
the best information probably will be as
follows:
Minister of tustice-Vasquez Tagle.
Minister of warden. Bascona.
Minister of colonization and industry
Manuel Calero.
Minister of Public utilities-M Manuel
Bonilla.
Minister of public instruction-Dr.
Francisco Vasquez Gomez.
Minister of interior administration
Emilio Vasquez Gomez.
Minister of fnance-Ernesto Madero.
Senior Madero issued a statement ex-
planning he would not go to the capital
until Senior De La Barra took the Pres
idential chair. The Mexican Congress is
scheduled to adjourn by the end of the
month. 1t is a safe prediction. therefore.
that 10 days will either see tranquility in
Mexico or a continuation of the war.

New York, May Bradstreet's

Events of the week have been APP

reports, except from d few SECTIONS
where dry weather is a serious Draw

lie and stock market reception thereof,
good legal decisions, are the three fea-
lures making for better immediate
business and more hopeful feeling as
to the future. Still actual results so far
are hardly up to sanguine expectations.
Retail trade has expanded, but the i'm
provement at best is late. and while
some good recorders have been done
by jobbers. the feeling is that retail
ers' stocks have not been much brok-
en-. Iron and steel are not greatly
changed.
AS for crops it may be said that vim
ter and spring wheat at the present
date promise record Yields. but the out
look for oats and corn aside from a
good though late start. is not clearly
defined, and dry weather in the cotton
belt and along the Atlantic seaboard
prevent the best reports coming from
these two sections.

Headaches and Their Treatment.

In treating a headache, there is one
safe rule to follow:-Never use any
medicine containing acetanilid or similar
coal-tar derivatives without the advice
Of your physician. They may give
temporary relief, but they almost never
reach the cause Of the trouble and are
likely to weaken the heart The most
common form of headache, frequently
called sick headache, arising from a
disordered stomach, may be avoided
by care in the choice of food. Shun
pastry, candy and rich food, take time
TO eat, chew your food thoroughly and
keep your bowels in good condition by
using one-half to one teaspoonful of
L. F. Atwood Medicine after each
meal. This old reliable remedy has
been perfect blessing to thousands
for sixty years. Get bottle today,
and prove it for yourself. ANY dealer
has it for thirty-fve cents, or we mail
