ULTIMATUM IS IGNORED.
President Diaz Pays No Attention to
Madero's Demands.

Mexico, April 21.-The revolution
airy situation apparently has been un-
changed, so far as this government is
concern ed, by the ultimatum of the
rebel leader, Francisco I. Madero, jr,
who declared yesterday that he would
give President Diaz until 8 o'clock this
afternoon to step down and out of
Office and so avoid the otherwise in
evitable rebel attack on Juarez later in
the day. Officially, nothing is known
of this latest phase of the situation
and. accordingly, it is not being seri-
ously considered by the executive and
his advisers.
Upon leaving the department of for
eign affairs for his customary daily
consultation with the president this
morning, De La Barra said the only
knowledge he had of Madero's propo-
sition was received from the news
papers.
In other circles it is believed the ex-
piration of time named by the rebel
leader will find the administration I'M
moved from it's oft declared position
of ignoring the demands for Diaz's
resignation.
The subject is freely discussed in the
streets and cafes and is given promi-
nent place in the newspapers, but the
Madero threat appears to be regarded
as constituting another incident and
not a crisis.

UTAH WANTS LAND.
Upon Meaning OF Word 'Including"
Hinges Big Case.

Washington, April 21.-On the mean
ing to be given by the supreme court
of the United States to the word in
cluding'' depends the title to practical
ly all the immense tracts of Saline land
in Utah. The court set aside part
of today to hear arguments on the
meaning of the word.
The word was used in the enabling
act under which Utah was admitted to
the Union. First, two townships were
granted to the state for the establish
1nent for the university of Utah.
Then followed a provision reading:
THAT in addition to the above, no.
600 acres of land to be selected and To-
Gated as provided in the foregoing sec
ton of this act and including all Saline
lands in said state are hereby granted
to said state for the use of said uni
versity."
Utah now claims the Saline lands
on the theory that they were granted
to it in addition to the 10000 acres.

MORE SAFETY is DEMANDED.
Commission Finds Many Causes for
Accidents Increased.

Albany. N. Y, April 21.-The result
OF many months study of Industrial
accidents is embodied in the report of
the New York state employers liza
b1lity commission, just submitted to
the legislature here. The commission
reports that the most alarming causes
OF accidents are as follows: The i'm
mense risk of modern Industrial oper-
atoms; human fallibiIity; inattention
OF foremen and mana gers; lack of pro-
tective devices; care1essness of work
men; enormous speed at which ma
chine labor is carried on.
The commission recommends strin-
gent supervision in all directions; a
new law for tunneling and rock work
with explosives; abolition of open
betting and shafting in factories and
substitution of electrically propelled
machinery, and calls attention to the
dangers of electrical work, but says the
must be worked out More stringent
fire laws are also recommended.
