PLAN WORLDWIDE MUSICIANS UNION
...........s

Atlanta. May s,-The union of all mu- sicians into worldwide organization is one of the principal subjects before the sixteenth annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians. which opened it's sessions here today. More than 500 locals of the United States and Canada are represented at the conven- ton. Joseph B. Williams of Manchester, England, is the delegate from England and also represents the International Musicians association. whose member ship embraces every civilized country in the world.
 Probably the most complete general question is which the union musicians of this country are interested Is the pro lection of American musicians against competition with low-salaried foreigners and resolutions toward this end have been adopted frequently by the fedora ton in the past. Owen Miller, secre- tary of the federation. stated today that while the federation was still fighting for this protection. resolutions heretofore adopted have been so ineffective that probably none regarding protection will be adopted by the present convention
 Only one short session was held to- day, after which the visitors were en- tertained by the members of the local union, who are hosts of the convention. Tuesday also will be devoted to enter tanment, while the business sessons of the convention will be held wednesday and Thursday.

 BATTLE ON JUAREZ
WILSON DOOMED
 FOR PRESIDENT A Delegation of Jerseyites Working Right in the
 National Capital

Washington, May s.--(speciaL)-The woodrow Wilson presidential boom was given additional impetus today, and on the very threshhold of the White House, too, when Senator Maritime of New ter sey and delegation of Jerseyites called upon President Taft and paid their re- spects.
 In. the party were state senators, prom inent attorneys, leading democratic edf- tors and Governor Wilson's private secre- tary. Their leader and governor being out west whooping things up, the Jersey democrats came over from their state to be the guests at dinner of senator Maritime and incidentally to stir I'D It. tie more sentiment for the nomination Of Wilson.
 State Senator Harry Osborne of New ark, who happens to represent the pig gest constituency of any state senator Tn the United States, was the spokesman or the party Of course, Senator Maritime did the introducing, but 1t was the younger statesman who revealed the real, true feelings of the visitors.
 We are for Governor Wilson for the presidency. and we have not hesitated to proclaim our sentiments in the execu- tive office itself. When the country knows our man as we who worked with him and aided him in his reforms know him, the country will respond to his can- didacy as to that of no other man in his- tory
 Senator Maritime entertains the same views He said that New Jersey would furnish the next presidential candidate on the democratic ticket and the next Pres ident of the United States.

ARGUE ALASKAN
 COAL LAND CLAIMS Famous Cunllisasiisgu Clam Comes Before Board of
 Final Jurisdiction

Washington May S.-Arguments oe- signed to prove that patent letters should be issued to the holders of the so-called Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims which were the cause of the Ballinger- Pinchot congressional investigation were begun today before the board which has final jurisdiction. Secretary of the h. terior Fisher, to whom a final appeal may be made, sat with the board, consisting of Land Commissioner Dennett and the land office board of law review members.
 Speaking for the claimants, E. C. Hughes of Seattle, the only attorney heard today, attempted to prove there had been no thought of combination among the various entrymen prior to the time when their rights to their claims had teen acknowledged by the government acceptance of the purchase prices Tor the lands He declared that after man mas located his claim any action he may take Joking to the formation of an associatioi' or any contract he may make to sell ms property after his claim has been al
 lowed. cannot be deemed illegal, and that his right cannot be cancelled
 No oretense was made, he said, that Cunningham did not act as the agent TOT all the men who had authorized nm to make locations for them in order that their expenses might be reduced. If Cun- ningham had in mind the formation or a company before the claims actually were located no hint of that sort, MT. Hughes argued, had ever been made by him to any of those. for whom he was acting.
 The Cunningham coal lands claims, 3S in number, are so called because 1t was Clarence Cunningham, who, while Tn Alaska in 1902, discovered the coal which led to the filing of claims by himself and 32 others. Opposition to the final grant ing of the claims was due to the charge that this is a conspiracy to defraud the government

News That Hostilities Had Been Re- sumed Causes Much DisappOint- ment and Worry in tke
 National Capital

Washington, May S.-Unless Congress takes hand In the situation the Unit ed States forcas on the Mexican Dor der are powerless to protect Americans within range of bullets falling In and around Fl Paso from Mexican rifles .All we can do." said Maj. Gen. Wood chief of staff of the army tonight, "is to keep our people out of the danger zone as far as possible and protest to the belligerents against firing in oui direction. Without authority from Con gress the army cannot cross the border no matter what happens"
 Administration officials are watching the constantly changing situation witf deep and anxious interest News that hostilities had been resumed was re- ceived at the White House this after noon with obvious surprise and disap pointment. The announcement that President Diaz would resign upon the restoration of peace. followed immedi- ately by the recall of the revolutionist vanguard on a march for the City of Mexico has given rise to the hope that the worst was over and peace was al last in sight The President told call CTS today he believed Diaz's promise would be accepted in good faith by the insurrectos. A manifesto to the Mex 1can peOple, ne lHouBHt, Wouiu po tahei as the surest indication that Diaz would keep his word. And, since this was the one thing upon which the revolutions ists have been most insistent, 1t was believed that Madero would not con- tinue figh ting.
 The Presidents attitude as to inter- vention Is Just what 1t was after the troops were sent to Texas. Without ac- tion of Congress there can be no in- tervention.
 Though the state department re- ceived practically no advices today or tonight the war department is keeping in close touch with El Paso through the army officers. However, nothing can be added to the instructions which were given when 1t became known that another battle Is imminent. The only orders were that Americans were to be kept as far as possible away from the firing line.

THE WAY TIT LOOKED
 YESTERDAY MORNING

Fl Paso, Tex, May S.-Residents of Cuiuadad Juarez, the Mexican city across the Rio Grande, awoke today to find they had been spared a battle which might have developed deadly confii;t that would stand out sharp ly in the history of the Mexican revo- lution.
 Creeping along in the thick of dark ness, made worse by rain, the insur- recto army, supposedly on it's way south because it feared American interven- tion if 1t attacked Juarez was about to deliver a telling blow at that fed eral stronghold last night when an As sociated Press dispatch from Mexico City stating that President Diaz had announced his intention to resign was carried to the front.
 The dispatch quickly changed the situation from one of gravity to hilar- ity Today mt mbers of the Madero fam fly are send ng messages to President Diaz telling him what fine man they think he is and how he has saved his country.
 Negotiations have been begun for another armistice with General Ma varro. as well as a resumption of the neace conferences which a liourned OH saturday. Unanimous opiniAn of repre- sentatives of the warning factions is that complete tranquility Tor Mexico is In sight
 Arran9 9ements for the extension If the armistics to cover the entire coun- fry are expected to be made today. Peace negotiations will be hastened and no one expects any difficulty as government concessions on points other than those on the Daz question have teen well known and acceptable for some time.
 The news that President Diaz had I,al announcing his intention to resign came two hours before the time for an attack and the insurrectos turned back to their camping grounds, where today they are celebrating what they believe to be the triumph of the revolution
