A DECIDED RIFT
IN WAR CLOUDS
| DR.. Gomez Thinks There is Now
a Chance for Arrange
ments for Peace.
GEN. MA0ER0 HAS YIELDED
The Confidential Agent Of the Revo-
lutionists Has Been Author
lied 10 Submit Certain
Proposals.
Associated Press Special.

Washington, April Viewed
from this point there seems to be a
very decided rift in the war clonds
! that have been hanging so low along
the Mexican border for the past sew
efal days, and there are those in the
national capital who now believe il
within the reach of possibilities to so
ADJUST existing differences in the
Mexican republic as to avoid further
bIoodshed and arrange for peace
on terms that will be alike acceptable
10 President Diaz and the insurrecto
leaders.
These conclusions are drawn from
the fact that the first step towards
actnPl peace negotiations in Mexico
was taken today when General Fran
cisco Madero, the commander of the
lnsurrectos, after conference with
his father, who is a peace envoy, sent
telegram To Dr. Vasquez Gomez, the
confidential agent of the revolution
lists, authorizing him to begin nego-
tiations with the Mexican govern
ment for an Immediate araistice
DIR. Gomez says that taking into
consideration the actual situation
General .Madero accepts an armistice
The terms of the proposal upon which
the negotiations viii proceed provide
for a neutral zone covering that part
of the republic between Juarez and
the city of Chihuahua, it being stipu-
lated that future conferences looking
to the peaceful settlement of the
troubles which now threaten serious
war will be held in this territory
This authorization from the rebel
chief was Immediately telegraphed
by DR.. Gomez to the administration
representatives in the city of Mexico.

 "The election of the president pro tenn pore of the senate and the speaker of the house created intense interest at Mont gomery and precpitate one of the hottest scraps that I ever witnessed.

BROWN SAYS EXUM'S
 RECEPTION WAS WARM
Talks of the Mayors Gubernatorial
 Boomlet and Says Stranger Things f Have Often Happened

Wilson Brown of Birmingham. desig- mated as the smartest politician that was in Montgomery Wednesday, returned to the city yesterday at noon.
 He accompanied Mayor Culpepper Exum to the capital City and was with him on the remarkable trip of prohibition in epection upon which Mayor Exum mod estly called for coca-cola and was not supplied
 "The legislature said MT. Brown, will not get down to the expected strides un- til the inauguration is over. Then we may expect to see some fast work, as that organization is prepared for work.
 Mayor Exum was received in Mont gomery with more than passing interest, and made great many friends there. He will be home shortly. One of the chief attributes of Mayor Exum Is his ability for making friends, and that will stand him in good stead when the time comes for him to seek further political honors if he so decides.
 'I have no comment to make upon the reported Exum boom for governor just now, and do not think Mayor Exum is taking it seriously. However, stranger things have happened than his election as governor. and no better choice could be made
