ARMED TRUCE NEXT MOVE
MADERO WILLING TO LISTEN TO
PEACE TERMS.

An armed truce will be establish
ed in Northern Mexico as soon as
developments in Mexico City war
rant, and Francisco l. Madero, the
revolutionary President, will estab-
lish himself at a point in the field
to be held neutral ground, there to
receive any peace proposals that
many come as a result of the arrival
in Mexico City of Jose Yves Limant-
our, Minister of Finance, who re-
Gently had conferences with insur-
recto leaders in New York"
This is the substance of messages
brought today by courier from Ma
dero, who is $50 miles south of
here in camp with 1000 men. 1t is
the first word coming direct from
Mexico since the beginning of the
peace negotiations, which are sup
posed to have been under sway in
the United States for more than a
week
The text of Madero's message to
the revolutionary, junta was not
made public, but the term, "as soon
as developments in Mexico warrant,
was explained as meaning that Ma
dero would insist on important stipu'
lations before peace arrangements
should begin.
Whether Senor Limantour would
be acceptable to Senior Madero as
| Provisional President" pending
negotiations, is not known.
With a warning to all MeXican'
| that with every day the rebellion
continued the danger of information
al complications increased, plea tt
them to rally to the support of Pres
| ident Diaz and a declaration tina
/ the Government never could ente
into peace negotiations with indivi
duals in arms, Finance Ministe
Jose Yves Limantour to-day begal

WILSON GUSTS NUGENT
NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR PUTS
CHAIRMAN OUT OF HIS
OFFICE.

Governor Wilson of New Jersey
and James R. Nugent, Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee,
came to a parting of the ways dur
ing a discussion of the Geran Elec-
ton Reform bill pending in the AS
sembly. The Governor ordered the
State Chairman out of the Executive
offices, which ended the dispute alb
ruptly. Each issued statement
explaining the situation in his own
way Both agree in the main as
to what took place.
The open break between the Gov
ernor and the man who successful
ly managed his campaign has tended
to intensity all the bitterness that
Nugent and the organization Dem
ocrats have felt for the Governor
since he conferred with George l.
Record, the progressive Republican
leader of Hudson County on his
legislative programme, and then de-
feated James Smith, Jr., for Senator
and elected James E. MARITIME. Wal
to the finish is promised now be
tween the progressive and regular
factions of the Democracy.

ployees of the factory had been

ANDY 10th, WRONGLY CON-
VICTED, PAID PENALTY OF
ANOTHER'S CRIME.

Andy Toth-"Praying Andy 10th
he was called in the prison-walked
out of the Western Penitentiary Sat-
urday free man after serving nine
teen years and two months on the
charge of numbering a fellow-work-
man in the Edgar Thomson Mills
whom he had never seen.
A thousand workmen from the
mills spent their half holiday making
a trip to the prison to welcome the
victim of miscarried justice. They
cheered him, and lawyers took him to
their Office in a downtown skyscrap-
er in a cab because he would not
take a chance on a trolley car"
Andy 10th is So; he looks 70. He
was sentenced to the pneitentiary for
| life back in 1892 as the man who had
killed mill hand named Quinn by
striking him in the back with pick.
A fellow-countryman named Steve
| 10th confessed at his home in Hun
= gary two months ago that he had
! killed Quinn and that Andy 10th had
been pointed out to the Coroner's
Jury by mistake. Governor Tener
acted at once, granting a pardon.
Il never saw the man ] am sup
! posed to have Killed, SAID Andy
10th, who wept during most of his
ride downtown. 81 do not expect
any money from the State. The
State could not help it that l was
convicted. 1t was not their fault.
Mr.. Carnegie might help me some,
though / worked the best year OF
my life in his mill, and it was in his
mill that Quinn was killed. If l
could see Mr.. Carnegie I would ask
him for little farm where l could
go with my wife and end my days"

Mullen, who identified you as the
murderer"
mo, l do not. There is One above
us who sees that justice is done"
10th fondled his rosary beads.
"These kept me from going in
sane" he said. 81 prayed every day
to God and the Blessed Virgin to
make the truth known"

FAILS TO APPEAR
BOOKER II. WASHINGTON TOO
ILL TO GO TO COURT.

Booker T. Washington, the negro
educator, was unable to appear in
the court yesterday morning against
Henry A. Ulrich, the white man who
is accused of assaulting him on
Sunday night. When the case was
called Wilford H. Smith, a negro
lawyer appeared before the magis-
trate with a note signed by DR..
Botsford of the Manhattan Hotel,
where the President of Tuskegee In
stitute for Negroes is staying, which
said Mr.. Washington injuries made
it inadvisable for him to leave his
apartment. His condition was said
not to be serious, however. He re-
ceived two scalp wounds and one
ear was badly injured,
He remained in his apartment at
the Manhattan Hotel all day and
would not receive callers. He said
that he would make no statement
on the advice of his lawyer, and re-
ferred lnquirers to Seth Low, Pres
ident of the Institutes Board OF
Trustees.
When asked if he would be in
court today to press the charges
d6dlHSI ilC Ndl pChISlb ilS iSPAiSN
that it depended upon the advice OF
his physician and lawyer.
Up at the Ulrich home they were
indignant because Police Lieut.
Quinn had refused to allow a charge
of illegal entry to be made agains
Dr. Washington while he had enter
tanned the latter's charge against
Ulrich. The latter said that his law
yers had decided to endeavor agar
to lodge the charge against the ne
gro educator.
Seth Low, President of the BoarC
of Trustees of the Tuskegee Insti
tute, was closeted with DR.. Wash
! ington until IL o'clock yesterda!
morning. At this time they prepar
ed a statement of the case, whicl
was later given out to the newspa
pers by Mr.. Low. The statemen
says that the Trustees of the insti
tute have absolute confidence in Dr.
Washington and will give him an
support he may need.

to have the patient in such condition
that, despite a terrible accident he
suffered, he may mingle with his
fellow men feeling that he looks like
other moTtals and is not an object
to make even his friends shrink
from sight of him.
The man who is getting a new
face after almost having lost one is
timothy Martin of No. 40 Willow
street, Corona, Long Island. Martin
was hurt when employed by the
Ferguson Construction Company in
the Sunnyside yards of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. He FELL, face down
ward into cog wheels, and before
the machinery could be stopped his
face practically was ground off.
His mouth and nose were gone and
the muscles of his face were cut so
badly he could not eat or talk. He
was taken to the hospital in what
was thought to be a dying condition.
Martin did not die. Instead, he
displayed remarkable vitality and
gained in strength so fast the sur
geons were presented with a new
pFODlelus ne Qu6SIlOu was uOW
the wounds should be treated, and
whether the face should be permit
ted to heal and be almost shapeless
DR.. John A. Bodine, DR.. Frank c.
Smith, DR.. T. T. DAILY and Michael
Mcmahon of the hospital held con.
sultation. They decided to do theiI
! best to make new face for Martin
The first step was to make new
mouth and to build muscles around
it so that Martin could learn agaiI
to talk and eat. Gradually the new
mouth was shaped, the surgeons add
ing muscles taken from other parts
of the body and knitting them tC
the muscles of the face.
Martin got finally so he could ea
with ease and talk almost as wei
as before the accident. Skin wai
grated to the mouth and the cheeks
with such deftness that the lowe
part of the face, it is said, is almos
the same as that of an ordinar!
man.

BITRATION PLAN.

Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
has warmly indorsed the universal
peace movement in the House of
Commons. He said:
IF we can get the nations which
make up the Empire and the United
States to come together and throw in
their power to try and influence all
other Powers on the side of peace
much will be done to delay war. 1t
might not stop war, but it would
give us time to pause, and if we
could get time we should often have
no war.

with war;" he added, "unless you are
so we'll armed that an enemy cannot
attack you"

DOESN'T LIKE So SHOES
RIOTER THINKS THE BEST is
NONE TOO GOOD FOR HIM.

George P. Ross, the obliging clerk
in the County Commissioners office,
brought him down a $500 pair of
shoes, but Adimities said he didn't
want that kind, and fetched out a
shoe belonging to his fellow-prisoner,
Simpson, worth probably $5, and
said that was the kind he wanted.
1t is the custom for the county to
see that all prisoners are fixed up
comfortably but not eXtravagently.
Since Adimities has refused the
nobby pair of new shoes offered him
by Mr.. Ross, it is more than likely
that he will leave the county jail
shod as he is. His term of imprison-
ment may also be heightened as ii
is said he is unable to pay the costs
of his trial imposed when he was
sentenced last Fall.

the Court that he didn't have mid
die name, was sentenced to not less
than ~ nor more than ten years in
the Eastern Penitentiary Tuesday
morning by Judge A. T. Searle, hav-
ing been convicted of horse stealing

District Attorney NJ. E. Simons stat
ed that he had two certificates from
the Clerk of the Court of Quarter
Sessions of Susquehanna County,
stating that Warren Simpson had
been convicted on one occasion OF
breaking and entering and of lar
ceny, for which he served 1S months
in the Eastern Penitentiary. At an
other time he was convicted of fe-
lonious assault and sentenced to the
Penitentiary for a term of Is
months.
Before pronouncing sentence
Judge A. T. Searle said:
"Mr. Simpson, the law provides
where there have been two former
| convictions you might be sentenced
! to the maximum of 80 years. We
don't feel disposed to send you dow1
for that term. We shall howeve1
give you the extreme penalty of thu
law for horse stealing. You are get
ting along in years. If you are sen
fenced again it will probably be fo
life.
The sentence is that you, Warrel
Simpson, pay fine of 500, that yol
pay the costs of prosecution, AM
that you be connned in the Easter
Penitentiary for an indeterminat
sentence of not less than 21a year

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1911-01-10

While we believe that every head
of family should protect it by car
rying fire insurance, it is pleasant
to learn of cases where neighbors
are inspired with the spirit shown in
the instance reported in the Granite
Falls Journal, where the friends and
neighbors of one John Rude, who
had been impoverished by a fire. in
vited him and his family were invit-
ed over to Mr.. Flatten's home one
evening, and he was there presented
with a purse of s1O79.75, and in ad-
dition feed and stock to the value Of
some $50. This amount came near
covering his actual loss. Mr.. Rude
and family felt more than grateful
for this neighborly act. The neigh
bors brought along some substan-
tials to satisfy the inner man, and
after disposing of the same they
left for their homes, knowing they
had shared in neighborly act.

DON'T BURN LEAVES.
They Should Be Turned Over Into the
Soil as Fertilizers.

Fools burn leaves, leaving for
themselves a pinch Of poor ash, but
sending back into the air what was
taken from it by the process of
growth. These thousands Of tons
are not made out Of the earth, but
out of the air, and are intended to
be turned over into soil. If you
plant a tree in tub of dirt and
leave it there until it weighs hun
dred pounds you will find by weigh
ing the dirt that the tree was not
made up of what was in the tub,
but almost altogether of what it
could get from the air-carbon and
nitrogen for the most part, with
hydrogen composing good share
of the liquid part of sap.
The elements Of the soil that are
not in the air are deep down under
the surface Of the soil or incorpo-
rated in the rocks. The most i'm
portant are potash and phosphorus
You get some potash from ashes,
weed waste, soapsuds, and there
are few soils that in their natural
state are entirely deficient in this
element. The timber soils of our
corn belt contain about 1000
pounds Of phosphorus per acre.
Raising crops that use up these ele-
ments steadily lessons the POSSIBLE
ity of growing any crops at ALL We
have got to find them in the soil ;
