ACCIDENTS THE CHIEF TOPIC
Manufacturers, in Session at Now
York, Will Discuss Industrial
Waste Of Lite and Limb.

New York, May ia concerted
effort of manufacturers to reduce the
great number of industrial accidents
annually occurring In this country
will be made at the sixteenth annual
convention Of the National Associn-
ton Of Manufacturers, which opened
at the Waldorf Astoria today. The
fact that casualties resulting from in
dustria1 activities have finally reached
the stupendous total of one million
yearly, with corresponding human suf-
fering and loss of national efficiency
and of property has made accident
prevention the most important prob
lem now confronting the industrial
world.
1t is planned to devote considerable
of the conventions time to this par
ticular problem. An important feature
will be a comprehensive report by
the associations special commission
ers, F. G. Schwedtman and James
A. Emery, who have recently returned
from an exhaustive investigation Of
accident prevention and relief meth
DDS .,racticed in Europe. This report,
which the association has prepared in
book form with innumerable colored
charts and diagrams. is devoted in
good part to Germany's twenty-five
years of successful experience and
Great Britain's rather unsatisfactory
efforts along similar lines; also the
findings and recommendations Of the
commission, with special reference to
the United States. Several addresses
with lantern slides will also be given,
and an exhibit Of accident prevention
devices has been opened in the hotel.
The important question Of adequate
inspection of factory plants will be
considered during the meeting, and
steps will be taken to bring about a
reform in the present method of polit-
ical appointments. Arrangements will
also be made to secure the active CO.
operation Of employers associations
and public bodies Of the country not
only in the prevention of accidents,
but also in standardizing workmen g
compensation bills In the various
states.

representing the Mexican federal gov.
eminent, and DR.. Vasquez Gomez Jose
Pine Suarez and Francisco Madero,
ST., representing the provisional gov
eminent, agreed to declare fine-day
armistice throughout Mexico, to take
effect Immediately.
News of vigorous warfare in central
ond southern Mexico, which Senior Ma
dero considers unnecessary in view of
the progress made toward peaceful
settlement of the revolt, Induced the
rebel chief to act quickly to prevent
further loss of life. Both Provisional
President Madero and Judge Carbajal
expressed the belief that the fve-day
armistice would be superseded by the
signing of definite peace agreement
calculated to restore the country to
complete tranquility.

De LA eARRA IS TO BECOME
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
AD INTERIM.
FIVE DAYS TRUCE is ARRANGED
Madero Going to Capital to Participate
in Joint Regcncy.-Arrange-
ments Will Probably
Lead to Peace.

Mexico City, May is. - President
Diaz and Vice President Corral will
resign before June l. Minister of
Foreign Relations De la Barra will
become president ad interim. Fran.
cisco l. Madero, the revolutionary lead
er, will be called to the city of Mex.
leo to act as De la Barra's chief ad.
wiser. and with the greatest guaran-
tee possible that every pledge made
by the government will be carried
out.
The cabinet will be reorganized
The minister Of war will be named by
De la Barra. The foreign office will
be in charge of sub-secretary named
by De la Barra. Other cabinet mem.
hers will be chosen by De la Barra
end Madero, acting jointly. A new
election will be called within six
months. Political amnesty will be
recommended to the chamber of dep.
uties.
These are the conditions upon which
President Diaz will compromise. Vir.
tually they are admitted in high quar-.
tiers to be complete surrender to the
revolutionists.
The resignation of Diaz and the
"joint regency" of De la Barra and
Madero are said to constitute guar.
antee so complete that the original in.
surrecto demand for IA governors no
longer needs to be considered.
The governments conditions were
telegraphed to Judge Carbajal, with
instructions to submit them to Gen.
eral Madero. After consulting sboth
signed the agreement.
The public received the announce.
ment of Diaz' intention to resign with
profound satisfaction. Since the bat.
tie of Juarez they have realized that
the presidents remuneration of his
high Office alone could bring about
peace. Business throughout the re-
public has suffered severely, as the
people generally were eager for an
honorable peace.

sion from the organization of several
newly-elected congressman and sena-

of the most influential men in the
club. Among the men excluded was
one of whom the president was said
to be particularly fond.
The furry caused by the clubs &C.
ton at that time had partially died
down when President Taft, in an ad.
dress at the Jewish Temple, revived
the subject by saying that he had had
friends-Gentiles-k out of clubs
'by people who were not worthy to
button up their shoes"
This was followed by tie announce.

Associate Justice Hughes of the su.
preme court has incurred the enmity
of three members of the Metropolitan

that they would take pleasure in
blackballing Mr.. Hughes if at any
time his name were proposed for
membership to the club
