Boston, Mass, Sept Color line
threatens to temporarily disrupt the
American Bar association, in conven-
ton here today, because Special As
sistant Attorney-General William H.
Lewis, a negro, announces that he
will positively not resign as a member
of that distinguished body.
Southern barristers did not attend
the banquet last night because they
feared Lewis would be there. They
insist today that if Lewis is wise he
will resign without further trouble.
A former president of the associa-
ton whose name is withheld, today
said:
The country should know that the
American Bar association did not
elect Lewis a member The Massa-
chusetts council, months ago, pro-
posed his name to the executive coun-

tunate that Massachusetts proposed a

wise for him to withdraw and resign"

The HUNTING
SEASON MAY
Be CLOSED
MANY LUMBER COMPANIES SIGN
PETITION ASKING 1T, BECAUSE
OF HUNTERS NEGLECTING TO
ENTINGUISH CAMP FIRES.

Declaring that unless the forest
fires raging in all sections of the state
are checked that millions of dollars
of timber will be destroyed, a petition
signed by practically every timber
company in the state has been for
warded to Governor West asking him
to declare the game season closed un-
I'll such a time as danger from fires
arising from the camp fires of hunters
is passed
In the petition the timber companies
declare that as soon as the season
opened and hunters began to make
their way into the forests. that fires
began to arise because of their neg
lect in eXtinguishing camp fires. As
long as it was possible to combat and
keep the fires under control no COM
plant was made, say the companies.
though they were destroying thous
ands of dollars of timber The situa-
tion has now gotten beyond control,
they assert, and unless every measure
is invoked to check the fires and sub
due them it is predicted that there
will be a repetition of the terrible
forest fires of last year.
Five Hundred Men in Field.
The companies represent in their
petition that there are now 500 men
in the field fighting the forest fires.
So far, they say, they have not even
been able to prevent them from
spreading. Most of the fire fighters
are exhausted and difficulty is eXpe-
rienced in obtaining men to take their
places. Should the fires continue to
spread, the fighting force will have to
be doubled, if not trebled, and it is
doubtful, they say, whether the neces-
asry number of men can be obtained
and the result would be that tract
after tract of fine forests would be
reduced to piles of ashes
May Call Out Militia.
Forester Elliott may before the fires
are subdued find it necessary to ask
that the militia be called out to fight
them. Governor West is absent and
can not make the call should it be
necessary, and the forester is holding
a consultation with Attorney General
Crawford today for the purpose of as
certalnlng II any other authority has
power to call them out.
An effort was made this morning
by Private Secretary Watson to locate
the governor so that he might act on
the petition from the lumber COM
panies, but it proved unavailing. He
has hopes of locating hin, however,
later in the day, and there is every
L
to it, as several weeks ago he an
nounced that unless hunters in the
forests would exercise every precau-
ton with relation to camp fires, and
forest fires should arise because of
their neglect in eXtinguishing them,
that he would declare the hunting sea-
son closed

petitions own 100000 acres of tim

PEACE PROCLAMATION FINDS
LAREDO READY FOR ATTACK

Laredo, Texas, May 17.-Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico, is still expecting the
rebels. Yesterday il was reported in
surrecto bands had surrounded the
city and that an attack was expected
at any moment.
The day and night passed without
alarming developments and the in
surrectos are still reported in their
camp several miles away.
Precautions are being taken on this
side of the border to preserve neu-
trality. United States troops patrol
the railroads and guards are station
ed at the bridges.
In Laredo Texas, Madero is said
to have many sympathizers and in
the event of the approach of the in
surrectos 2 dash across The border is
anticipated. In Nuevo Laredo all was
quiet today, General Francisco Es-
trada has his soldiers ready to repel

that battles viii be reported from
time to time in the next two weeks,
and probably later in isolated districts.
1t is not questioned that the reputable
chiefs of Madero, such as Ambrosio
Figueroa in the south and Louis Moya
in the north, win obey the orders of
Madero to cease hostilities. 1t Is to
be expected that there will be eases
of brigandage by bands who choose to
call themselves "Maderistas, and the
government itself will not be inclined
to place the blame for their operations
upon Madero. 1t is expected that
those men who have distinguished
themselves as officers In the Madero

with the federal army of re-establish-
ing order in the rural districts.

the dominant figure of the council.
Not once did he think of himself,

country. He has an honest pride but
no vanity. | venture to predict that
In a year or two, when the new order
of things has been established, MeXi-
co will regard him as her greatest
hero. This resignation must forever
silence those who could find no other
criticism than that he has lusted for
power. He has ruled with the single
hearted aim OF his country's welfare,
and he resigns for the same reason.
Throughout his long administration he
has never failed to listen to the best
advice he could obtain.
"In this crisis, where he was most
vitality concerned, next to the republic
itself he listened impartially to his
advisers and acted with judicial fair
against himself"
THE president was too i'll to sit

stituting the entire cabinet, gathered

eial optimism. and said that compliea-
tions are always TO be feared in such
cases. and especially If the patient is
advanced in years.
II is said on authority that Presi-
dent Diaz has no wish or intention to
leave Mexico following his resignation.
He is an old man. and new scenes and
faces have no attraction. He has no
fear of remaining among his country
men. There is no emnity TO him per-
sonally, and his integrity has never
been questioned Political differ
ences have arisen, but he feels that
the people over whom he has ruled
are his friends. Among them he
wishes to end his days.
While the present ministry is not
completely convinced that tranquility
could not be more speedily restored
with Diaz in power for few months,
after the signing of peace agree
ment, the public at large feels little
apprehension on that point. 1t may
be said, however, that the ministry
feels less fear on that score since the
object lesson at Pachuca Monday night
and yesterday. The town is only sixty
miles from the capital.

however, the better element formed a
vigilant committee, which, within six

maintained order until the coming OF
a rebel detachment i'm the morning.
The latter handled the situation with
discretion, tact and firmness that
could not have been exceeded had the
federals been in control. Recently,

and social Washington to the core.
President Taft. who is a member of
the exclusive Metropolitan. was re-
ported, several weeks ago, to have
felt some resentment over the exclu-
sion from the organization of several
newly elected congressman and sena-
tors, proposed for membership by
some OF the most influential men OF
| the club. Among the men excluded
was one Of whom the president was
said to be particularly fond.
The fury caused by the clubs action
at that time had partially died down
when President Taft last night, In an
address at the Jewish temple, revived
the subject by saying that he had
friends, gentiles, kept out of clubs
by people who were not worthy to
button up their shoes"
This was followed by the announce
ment that Brigadier- General Clarence
| II. Edwards OF the bureau of insular
affairs, an intimate friend OF Presi-
dent Taft; Colonel Charles l.. Me-
Iawley, OF the marine corps. formerly
a White House aide, and Captain I.
M. Potts of the navy had resigned
their official positions at the Metro
politan club. General Edwards and
Captain Potts were members of the
board OF governors and Colonel Nc
Cauly was secretary Of the club.
II Is said that the designations OF
Messrs. Edwards, McCawley and Potts
undoubtedly means that In the future
