SNUB OvERTURES FOR PEACE
Madero Anxious to Show Widespread
Extent of Revolution and Wiz
Recognition of Nations.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 2S.-'The in.
surrectos are organizing their forces,
drilling their men, providing them
with ample ammunition and distribut-
ing stores with a view of carrying on
the wal to a decisive issue. No atten-
ton whatever is being paid to the so
called overtures for peace. Madero is
anxious to show the widespread ex-
tent of the revolution AMI thus to win
recognition Of belligerency from all
the nations"
This information was given out by
the revolutionary junta here as COM
ing from Francisco l. Madero, the so
called president of the in~surrectos. 1t
was said that Madero in recent mes
sages to the junta was eager to OBJ
tain from foreign governments an Off
cial recognition that a state of war
existed in Mexico. One object, it was
pointed out, was that in the event the
insurrectos captured a border town it
would cbviate complications with a
foreign country by enabling them to
appoint provisional consular agents.

ANTI RECIPROCITY
CONVENTION PLAN
Farmers and Business Men Is
sue Call for Meeting April 4

Crystalization of the opposition to
the adoption Of the Canadian reciproc-
ity agreement by congress was
brought about in Grand Forks at a
meeting of prominent farmers and
business men, a call for a state con-
vention to be held in Grand Forks
April 4 being the result. AS a fore

convention a series of county conven-
lions will be held I'VE the entire state,
at each of which ten delegates to the
state meeting will be selected.
In charge of the campaign against
reciprocity in this state, the purpose
being to lay before congress the unit
ed protest of the entire farming pop
ulation and business interests of the
state, there is an executive committee
representative of the state at large.
Petitions to congress against the
agreement will be given widest posi-
BILE circulation and every other means
will be employed to give weight to
the state antagonism to the agree
ment.

News Of The Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of The State.
WARNING AGAINST HoPPERs
North Dakota EntomoIogist Tells
Farmers to Protect Themselves
From the Pest.

Farmers should at once take ad-
vantage of the present unusual wealth
er conditions to protect themselves
against the grasshoppers that are like
ly to come in destructive numbers
this season." The foregoing state
ment was made by Professor c. B..
Waldron, state etomologist and the
head of the department at the North
Dakota agricultural college at Fargo.
THE large numbers in which they
were present last year makes their ap-
pearance this year reasonably certain
nile the eggs are destroyed con-
tinued Mr.. Waldron. Fall blowing
has already destroyed many of them.
There still remain the unplowed fields
and the roadsides. Unless the former
are to be turned over before May 1
they should be dragged and cross
dragged to break up the egg cases.
The sun and the wind will quickly de-
this season.
"The roadsides where no grass is
growing, should be worked with a
road scraper and the sides of the wide
road grades should be disced and
dragged. Do anything that will break
up the egg cases by pulverizing the
surface of the soil and it should be
done at once. 1t will be too late after
seeding.
Under the state law infected fields
can be plowed and the cost assessed
to the property if the owner refuses
to act. The invocation of this law
should be entirely unnecessary.
The grasshoppers we're SO prevalent
last season that the official warning
by Professor Waldron is regarded as
especially timely.

APPEALS TO OTHER STATES
Anti-Reciprocity Committee in North
Dakota Broadens Campaion.

Appeals to the governors of grain
growing states of the Northwest that
they take up the movement against
the passage of the Canadian r~eciproc-
1ty agreement were made by the ex-
ecutive committee in charge OF the
North Dakota campaign. In the ap-
peals sent out the North Dakotans de-
clare that the agreement is unfair and
Injurious to the agricultural interests
OF the Northwest in that duties are
removed from the products of the farm
while they are retained on manufac.
tured products. The North Dakota
committee, directing the fight in this
state, asks that the governors take up
the movement on the same line that it
is being followed in this state. Appeals
of this nature have gone to the gov
ernors of Minnesota, South Dakota.
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin
and several other states.

Two men We're burned to death

A small lamp exploded on the first

the sleeping occupants, about fifty in
number, had supposedly been success
full in all instances when the firemen

flames.
Colton's body was found in a corner
room of the hotel and he evidently
had failed to wake up.
Bolden's body was found in his
room, with the feet hanging out of
the window. He evidently had at
tempted to save a portion of his cloth
ing before making an escape and was
just about to leave the burning struc-
ture when he was overcome by the
smoke.
The building suffered a loss of
about $4,000.

BUILDING VERITABLE FIRETRAP
With Exits Cut OF Many Leap

New York, March 25.-One hundred
and forty-eight persons-nine-tenths

were crushed to death or the pave
ments, smothered in smoke or shiv-
eled crisp in a factory fire this after
noon in the worst disaster New York
has known since the steamship Gen
eral Slocum was burned to the waters
edge off North Brothers island in 1904.
Nearly all, if not all, of the victims
were employed at the Triangle Waist
company on the eighth, ninth and
tenth floors of a ten-story loft build
ing at 23 Washington place on the
western fringe of the downtown whole
sale clothing, fur and millinery dis
trict. The partners of the firm, Isaac
Harris and Max Blanck, escaped I'M
scathed from the office on the tenth
floor, carrying with them over an ad-
joining roof Blanck's two young daugh-
tiers and a governess. There was not

How the fire started will perhaps
never be known. A corner on the
eighth floor was its point of"origin and
the three upper floors only We're
swept. On the ninth floor fifty bodies
We're found; s~ixty-three or more per-
sons were crushed to death by jump
ing and more than thirty clogged the
elevator shafts. The loss to property
"ill not exceed 500, 900.
The building stands on a corner,
with exposure on two sides, but the
only fire escape was interior, opening
on a light and air shaft. In all there
were seven eXits-the single fire es-
cape, two freight elevators at the rear,
two stairways.

grew too thick.
The building stands tonight with
shell intact and barely scarred-rather
only smudged; the partitions Of archi-
tectural thing between floor and floor
are sound and it is impossible for one
who did not see it to imagine how the
flames in so short space could have
wrought such havoc. Seven hundred
hands, 500 of them women, were en-
ployed by the shirtwaist company.
They sat in rows at their whirring ma
chimes, the tables before them piled
with flimsy cloth, the floor Uttered
with lint, the air itself full of flying,
tnf1ammable dust. The first rush of
flame was almost an explosion. OPP
orators died in their chairs, their lungs
scared by inhaling flame. Others we're
crowded into the elevator shafts after
the cars had made their last trip.
Still others were pushed off the mad
equate interior fire escape.
In such a horrible stream did the
bodies overflow from the windows that
the f%irenets, stretched by the first COM
pany to arrive, were soon gorged be-
yond capacity. Twelve bodies weight
ed one net to the bursting point, but
the bodies kept on tumbling to the
pavement through meshes that could
no longer support them.
