The attorney was C. H. Converse

Juarez on charge Of having partici-
pated in the Mexican revolution as a
filibusterer The father came to Mex
co, not in his capacity at an attorney
to argue the case of his son, but sim
ply as father.
When he left the office of the pres
ident il was with the assurance that
not only would his own son be releas-
ed but that Edward NJ. Blatt, thc
other young man who had been held
on the same charge, would also be
freed. The two boys will be taken

HOPE HELD OUT THAT
FIGHT MAY BE AVERTED.

Washington. April 21.-The Mex
lean revolutionists may yet find il
unnecessary TO attack Juarez and an
armistice within few days is still a
strong probability. This was the in
ference drawn from tonight's aetivi-
ties of DR.. Vasquez Gomez, head of
the confidential agency of the Mexi-
can revolutionists here.
DIR. Gomez sent several kilograms
to Mexico, but the only information
as to their contents was given in q
statement he issued.
1T is impossible for me-" said DR..
Gomez ito reveal the nature of me-
gotiations in which | am engaged to-
night. All / can say is that within a
few days / may be able to communi-
cate something of great interest to
the Mexican people. IT is absolutely
essential however, that these negotia.
tions be kept secret as we are dealing
with some delicate points"
DR.. Gomez gave the impression that
he had set to work on some new
plans and that an adjustment OF tho
situation satisfactory to Genera
Francisco /. Madero. Jr., may yet b'
effected.
He was optimistic. asd 1t is believed
he had received some assurances Of
promises which caused him to ad
wise the rebel leaders in the field 4
be patient.
1t is thought DR.. Gomez has fount
some way out of the dilemma pre-
sented by the formal demand OF Gen
eral Madero that Juarez be evacuat
ed or that General Diaz resign tn
presidency. DR.. Gomez is said t
have made strong representations t
the insurgent leaders that the attacl
on Juarez may be deferred for sever

DEMOCRATS F|GH I
ADMISSION Or
NEW MEXICO
NOW PROPOSED TO ANNUl
BOTH CONSTITUTIONS
Congress Asked to Repeal En-
abIing Act and Start All Over
to Fashion State on Fergus
Son-JoneS-H Hand Model,

Especial Dispatch to the Morning Journnil
\ Washington, April 2i,--When the
committee on territories met this
morning, Messrs FERGUSON, Jones,
Hand and McGill, a committee OF
New Mexico democrats, were present
and argued against any action that
would admit New Mexico as state
under the constitution as at present
framed These gentlemen, the com
mittee ascertained, were in favor OF
having the constitution, which was
ratified by the people of New Mexi-
90 last January, amended In several
important particulars. railing IN
this the gentlemen from New Mexl-
co thought that the enabling act, un-
der which the constitutions OF both
New Mexico and Arizona were
framed should be repealed and an
entire new act passed by congress.
The New Mexico opponents of the
constitution were strongly reinforced
at today's hearing of the committee
by Mr. $. r.. Nicholson, national
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league. Mr.. Nicholson, who has never
visited New Mexico, does not believe
that the $4,000 majority, by which
her neople approved the constitution,
is a fair test of public sentiment IN
that territory. Mr.. Nicholson wants
tho constitution disapproved and a
new enabling act passed, by the terms
of which the people OF New Mexico
will be obliged to accept prohlDitioh
with statehood.
Mr.. Ferguson promised the COM
mittee that several other gentlemen
from New Mexico who were anxious
TO be heard in opposition to the con-
etitution would be In Washington by
Monday and requested the committee
TO postpone the hearing until that
time The committee decided, how
ever, to hold q session tomorrow az
which the matter will be further con-
sidered.
II has been generally conceded In
VOL informed circles IN Washington
that the house committee on terrltor-
| ies was favorable to the immediate
admission of New Mexico and Arizo-
ma and a favorable report on the
resolution was looked for without
debate. The entirely unexpected OPP
nosltion of the democratic leaders
however has changed the situation
While favorable report is still prob
able, the opponents of the eonstitu-
tlon have succeeded in causing SUI
fIcient delay to make the admission
Of either state at this session OF con-
gross almost impossible.

GOVERNMENT IGNORES
ULTIM ATUM OF MADERC


Mexico CITY, April 21.--While all
devout Catholics at the request OF
the archbishop began today to join
in q prayer for the re-establishment
of peace. official Mexico sees no way
to avoid the conflict at Juarez. Still
refusing TO treat with the rebels, the
government has ignored the ultima

Optimists continue to believe the
promised battle may yet be avoided,
but the number of optimists In Mex
leo continue TO grow smaller eacn
day and residents of the capital have
been given a new cause for appre-
hension.
Two days ago a controversy arose
at the agricultural school between
students and the director. which re-
suited in the sending of small de-
tachment of soldiers to the institution
to preserve order. The incident APP

body of the capital is unimportant
but residents here have not forgotter
that the anti american riots last NO

students.
What FORM the demonstration ma,
take is not known.

AIR MEN STRONG BELIEVERS
IN SUPERSTITI0US LORE.
Willard Flies With Rabbit Foot, and
5eachey Likes Thirteen.

If any one thinks that aviators do
not believe in luck or omens he should
mingle with the bird men awhile.
These kings Of the air are college
remnants Of Harvard, Yale, Cornell
and other universities of the east
hanging on the walls of their dens at
home. They are men who would
scout superstition under ordinary con-
ditions.
But flying up to the present mo-
ment is not ordinary, so this accounts
for the exception to the rule. Some
Of the bird men have queer little be
liefs in the matter of luck.
For instance, Charles Willard never
goes in the air unless a rabbits foot,
originally tied to the end Of his ma
chine by his sister, Miss Emily VIII
lard, is securely attached to his craft.
Willard says he would not feel safe
if he went into the air without the
rabbits foot on his machine, and con-
sequently he never goes up without
it, He says he is confident as long as
he keeps the rabbits foot in sight bad
luck will be held at safe distance.
Walter Broekins has q queer notion
about things that he feels sure affect
his flying luck. He regards it as dis
tinctly an evil omen to take second
light on his cigar or cigarette-that
is, he win not let one person light a
cigar and hand the match to him.
Nor will he let one person hold a
match for him while he starts a
smoke. To do this Brookins Is con-
vinced would bring bad flying luck
He attributes one fall to a violation
Of this rule he has laid down for him
self.
Lincoln Beachey has a penchant for
the number "13" and believes it gives
him good luck. He always asks for
this number at aviation meets and al
ways gets it, for other aviators shun
1t. He has had few mishaps in avia
ton and has great faith in the lucky
s13"
