NEW FIGURE LOOMS UP
IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Ernesto Madero Wires Brother
He Will Go to Eagle Pass
for Conference.

EAGLE PASS. Tex, April ia new
figure in peace negotiations doomed on
the horizon today when a telegram was
received by Francisco Madero, ST., from
his brother. Ernesto. stating that the lat
ter was on his way here for on inter-
view.
Ernesto Madero is banker of Mon
terey, and since the death Of his father,
founder Of the immense Madero fortune,
the dominant member Of the family.
Don Ernesto returned recently from the
City of Mexico, where he conferred with
Presidnet Diaz and members of the Next
can cabinet. Don Francisco today sent the
banker long telegram explaining that
he had been compelled to abandon the
peace mission because of interference on
the part of the authorities at Ciudad Por-
firio Diaz. and the incomplete nature Of
the passports given him and members of
his party.
Don Ernesto wired Immediately that
he would take the first train from
Monterey to this city for conference.
signed by President Diaz in person,
charging all authorities, civil and mill
tary. to not only place no obstacles in
leader in the field, but to aid the party
in every way possible.
Some Doubt Expressed.
Owing to the frequency with which
commander-in-chief has exploded, there
is a disposition here to doubt that the
trip will be made.
Hoia =
when. after having boarded a train on
the Mexico side. he was prevented from
leaving and came near to being arrested.
His brothers telegram today brought a
return Of hope. One thing. he said, was
certain. and that was that nothing but
the written assurance of President Diaz
would again tempt him to touch foot on
Mexican soil.

establishing peace Throughout the PENN

other peace mission was undertaken to-
day, supposedly with the consent of DIR.
Vasquez Gomez at Washington. Sylvester
from Washington, Immediately left for
the interior to find Francisco I. Madero
1t is believed there that DR.. Gomez. being
away from the seat of hostilities. has
been in u position to treat with officials
at Mexico City and get a broader view
of the possibility Of peace than is OBJ
tainable by Madero himself.
Madero has taken an unytelding atti-
tude in setting forth hts demands. 1t is
thought DR.. Gomez has outlined some
suggestions which he hopes might lead
to Cancellation without insistence on Ma
dero's demands. which Mexico City re-
CARDS as impossible. Reports from the
south. particularly in the states of Du-
range and Zacatecas, show the insur-
rectos are extending their sway over a
wider territory.
Many railroads connecting the larger
cities have been disabled and thousands
of non combatants are cut off. The re-
ports show that, except for the larger
towns. the insurrectos now move UNI

To Enjoy Egg Rolling.

Alexandria younger generation Mon
day afternoon will go egg rolling at the
George Washington Park, west of this
city. Should the weather prove suspicious
it is expected there will be a large
throng Of the young folks out to enjoy
the sport. Many boys and girls will go
TO the White Lot in Washington. The
nils In and around the city also will be
used for egg rolling.
y number OF former residents together
with students at schools and colleges away
from the city, are here for the Easter
holidays. The church services tomorrow
will be a feature of the celebration. and
the indications are that large congrega-
tons will be i'm attendance.
Considerable street work will be done
by the city this summer A number OF
small sewers to connect with the big
trunk sewers will be laid. A number of
appropriations for the improvements OF
streets on the outskirts already have been
made.
A matter which the street and general
laws committee now has under consider
alton and which may be reported on at
an early date is an ordinance for COM
pulsory tapping of sewers on the part OF
property owners. Should the law be
passed many are of the opinion 1t would
eventually prove beneficial to the city.
Others take the opposite view of the
matter. In view of the fact that more
than one-balf of the city is already sew
cred and the city in many instances has
received but little revenue from this
source, il is more than probable that the
measure will be passed at an early date.

Says Washington Is Dirty.

DIR. Stiles took a shot at Washington
cleanliness:
They say Washington is clean city.
I have been in Europe. Once 1 lived
there for several years, and I say that
Washington is a dirty city. We all look
down on that type Of man we cal
the .dago,' but I say there are more
flies in the cleanest parts Of Washing
ton than there are in the dirtiest spots
in the city of Rome"
DR.. Stiles reference to the scientific
mans use Of the language of muckers
came in a talk about the work Of a
commission that is aiming to decimate
the number OF long. jaw-breaking,
tongue-twisting Latin words that clut-
ter up the works OF biologists and
others. Some idea of the value of the
commission may be gained from DR..
Stiles own explanation that out OF 415
long and terrible Latin names Of vari-
GUS bugs. crawling things. germs.
bacilli. and other stuff of the like. the
commission hoped to exterminate all
names but fifteen. However. he assert
ed that many scientists are so enrap-
tured and enamored of their own crea-
tons in scientific nomenclature that
names sacrificed on the guillotine of
expediency. Hence the acrimonious
letters.
Dr.. Stiles announced that in a few
months a congress would be held to bury
the remains Of the four hundred and odd
cast-of names of genera and species, and
that after the funeral sermon he person
ally would resign from the commission
because he had quite enough of that kind
of verbal slaughter. DIR. Howard arose al
this point and suggested that every en-
tomologist should write DR.. Stiles a pleas
ant letter by Monday morning so that DR.
Stiles might change his mind about re-
signing from the commission on nomen-
clature.

DR.. Towards paper on the fly was a

military camps, in field hospitals and in
homes. He described in language which

ture of the places wherein the flies breed
He told the scientific and laboratory
methods Of determining how a fly carries
the typhoid bacilli. He mentioned two
Washington men. DR.. George M. Kober
and Gen. Sternberg, as two pioneers OF
their original Investigations. which were
far from appetizing, and which could
scarcely be exaggerated. even in the yell
lowest of the journals, which DR.. Howard
said he feared might influence people to
turn their backs to the anti-fy crusade
and laugh IT to scorn. His pictures o.
the flies and the hospitals in the Boer
war were too horrible for print.
He said also that typhoid baciln can
live in butter and cheese a long time. and
that as a typhoid agent butter might be
as bad or worse than milk. Dr. How
ard read an editorial from the medical
journal mentioned, in which it was stated
that the anti-fy campaign is somewhat
foolish. DR.. Stiles in his Eefense Of al
kinds of fly news said that he believed
that no one would pay too much atten-
ton to the editorial.
DR.. John Hewitt of Canada gave a
short talk on his fly investigations and
said he had intimate knowledge of the
Boer war conditions mentioned by Or
Howard.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April Is, 1911.
George w. Pettey. chief of the Alexan-
dria fire department, dropped dead short
~ after o'clock tonight, while respond
ing to an alarm of fire. Heart trouble
is supposed to have been the cause Of
his sudden demise.
The veteran firefighter, when the gong
sounded the alarm of fire, was quickly
I'm his carriage and on his way to the
fire, on South Henry street between
Wilkes and Gibbon streets, with his
horse dashing madly along.
1t happened that the chief had to cross
a number of tracks of the Southern Rail-
way Company's yards at Henry and
Wolfe streets, and when he reached the
intersection of Duke and Henry streets
he got out of his vehicle and left his
horse standing on the corner. The chief
then ran out Henry street until he
reached the intersection of Wilkes, at
the southeast corner, a distance of two
squares. Just as he reached the corner
he dropped without uttering word.
BY that time the firemen. with their
apparatus, were standing on the corner,
awaiting orders from the chief, to- re-
turn to their respective engine houses.
There was also crowd or spectators.
Without a minutes delay Chief Pettey
was picked up by members of the fire
department and placed in the Columbia
house wagon. Driver Stephen Taylor
made a record run to the ALEXANDRIA
Hospital, and without delay the chief
was taken in and placed on the operating
table. An examination proved that he
was dead. DIR. NJ. d. Delaney was later
summoned and pronounced life extinct.
Death ensued when the chief fell to the
ground. and heart trouble was given as
the cause.

DR.. Stiles, whose hookWorm campaign
filled columns and columns of newspapers
Of all classes from the first day, about
ten years ago, when a Washington dis
patch was printed on many first pages,
announcing his discovery of the hook
worm, arose to the defense of the press:
Il say let us use every effort and every
means we have to disseminate knowledge
Of the fly to every home in the United
States. 1 believe that DIR. Howard, in
stead of exaggerating anything about
truth as yet. There are so many terrific
things yet to be told the people about
this filthy little national insect that there
Is only one way to get it abroad, and that
Is through the newspapers.
There are millions of country people
who read nothing else but what we are
calling the sensational papers and
those papers use the only means by
which Impressions can be made on the
minds of those people. Therefore, l say
let the papers shout all they want-oniy
prints big head lines and startling pic
lures Of the fly is doing more good in
the ultimate extinction of this pest than
quiet little argument will ever do.
Typhoid fever is a country disease.
and country people have not yet heard OF
the enormous loss of life coming through
the typhoid bacillus carried by the fly.
The papers use language which the peo-
pie can understand. Therefore, say,
let the yellows rave all they want, and
II they play the thing up long enough
you'll have the whole country aroused
against the present danger from the

DIR. L. O. HOWARD DISAGREEs
Believes Public Will Treat Danger
Lightly if Not Handled Seri-

DR.. c. w. Stiles, the scientist who first
gave prominence to the hookworm, sur
prised a gathering Of scientists Of the
Biological Society of Washington at the
Cosmos Club last night by lauding sem
sational newspaper articles and catchy
headlines when it comes to the difficult
question of getting simple fact about
the enormous danger of. typhoid-carry-
ing house flies into the heads of many
readers.
He took issue on the point of the over
eXaggeration Of scientific facts in sensa-
tional papers with DR.. l.. 0. Howard, the
great exponent Of the present swat the
fly movement, and chief of the bureau
OF entomology: scoffed at an editorial in
a recent issue of the Journal Of the
good-natured defiance at the head OF DIR.
John Hewitt. Dominion entomologist OF
Canada, who had previously warned the
scientists against letting the press pub
lish anything startling or exaggerated
about the dangers Of the typhoid breed
ing house fly.
Not only that. but DR.. Stiles raped the
custom of many scientists in writing
acrimonious letters on a certain very deep
and technical subject in regard to the
classify genus and species, and said that
I'm the defense of their ideas on this
subject, many entomologists do nothing
more nor less than use the language OF
the mucker."
DR.. Howard had read an exhaustive
treatise on certain phases OF the fly
question. In it he had said that the
newspape of the country are now lean
ing over to the sensational side, and are
consequently making enemies among
