.O|Az WANTS TO
DEAL DIRECT
With MADER0
Head Of Insurrectos Expect
ed to Receive Peace Pro-
posals From Mexico; Taft
Makes Disclosures.

Ell Paso. Texas, March 29.-If any
peace proposals are being formulated
by the Mexican government 1t 1s be-
lieved by the insurrecto junta here that
they will be delivered to Francisco L.
Madero, the insurrecto president. in
the form of unofficial overtures.
the federal government would be to
sound Madero's attitude without bind
ing the government to definite prom
ises. Through the conferences between
Senor Limantour and Francisco l. Ma
dero, Sr., and Gustavo Madero in New
York, President Diaz has been plainly
Informed Of the demands Of the insur-
rectos, but it is intimated that the
Mexican government has displayed
some desire to deal with the insurrecto
president direct.
Madero, according to reports, is less
than one days march from Chihuahua,
now the strongest federal position IN
northern Mexico. The junta here does
not believe President Diaz will yield
to the most insistent Of the insurrecto
demands, which include his retirement.
Revelations Made by Taft.
Washington, D. c., March %
Startling revelations Of conditions in
Mexico were impaired by President
Taft to members of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. The SEN
ators received reports indicating that
state of virtual anarchy prevails
throughout the republic and that
thousands of Americans and $1,000
100000 worth of American property
are at the mercy of the disaffected
element.
Senator Cullom, chairman of the
committee, and Senators Lodge, Clark
Of Wyoming and Smith of Michigan
were members who conferred with
the president individually on the Mex
lean situation The president showed
them all OF the correspondence and
reports upon which he acted in mob.
ilizing troops on the Mexican border.
It is said more than one OF the SEN
ators gasped over the revelations.
Although the president and the SEN
ators declined to discuss these con-
ferences, it is apparent that con-
sideration of the situation by con-
gress is expected. The president wants
the foreign relations committee to be
thoroughly informed on developments
that may result in serious crisis at
any time. 1t is regarded as possible
that Diaz himself may ask for inter-
vention If he is unable to quell the
uprising. On the other hand, II the
excitement subsidies the presidents op-
ponents in congress will demand an
explanation Of the army mobilization.
in any event the president will have
the backing of leaders who believe he
was justified in sending the army to

dent Taft was portrayed as the moving
spirit behind the election of William
Lorimer as United States senator,

tell Mr.. Lorimer that President Taft
was anxious for him to become can
didate for senator.

According to the testimony of Mr..
Hines. Senator Aldrich on both occa-
sions stated that the president was be-
coming alarmed over the tariff bill sit.
uation, that he was anxious for the
deadlock at Springfield to be broken
by the election of a republican and
that he deemed Lorimer the man most
likely to unite the factions. After the
first talk with Senator Aldrich, Mr..
mer over the long distance telephone
between Washington and Springfield,
hut Lorimer declined to commit him
self.
A short time later, just before the
deadlock was broken, Mr.. Hines said
he was again sought out by Senator
Aldrich, who said President Taft was
getting more nervous about the Illinois
situation and that he was afraid the
legislature would adjourn without
electing. At the solicitation of AID
rich, Haines took a train for Spring
field.
He reached Chicago the morning of
Lorimer's election. He called up
Springfield on the telephone and told
Lorfmer he was on his way to the
