PEACE PROSPECTS
 LOOK PROMISING Dr. Gomez Is on Way to the
 Peace Conference :. NEW ERA HAS DAMNED Mexican Deputies Discuss Reform and Legislative Changes Openly and With Freedom of Speech
 Before Unknown
NEW ERA HAS DAMNED

Washington, Arril 25.-Before de- parting for Juarez, in response to a summons from Francisco l. Madero, IT,, to participate in the gathering of insurrecto leaders prior to the formal peace conferences that are to be held at some neutral point in Mexico with onvoys from the Mexican government, pr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, head of the revolutionist agency here called on the Mexican ambassador, Senor Manuel De Zamacona.
 They met, 1t was explained, not as official representative. but merely to pay social call as Mexicans." There was cordial handshake and a smile as the two men parted and though neither would say later what subject had been discussed both exhibited an optimistic disposition toward future conditions in Mexico.
 The incident is regarded as an indi- cation of the belief of both men that peace in Mexico is near at hand, for in the troublous times of the revolu- tion preceding the signing of the ar mistice the representatives of the fed 
 course. kept distance apart.
 pr. Gomez said today the meeting place of the proposed peace conferences had not yet been decided The Mex ican government has suggested some point between Mexico City and Mon terey, while pr. Gomez in his communi- cations with the government concern inr the extension of the armistice and the holding of the. peace conferences has indicated preference for Laredo. An objection which is made to many border points by the federal govern ment, 1t is said, is the fact that the local population might interfere with the complacency of the negotiations.
 It is believed that what is desired by the government Is some quiet town with which telegraphic communication is direct, where the envoys could work

 Wrong Man
READY TO FURNISH
 MONEY REQUIRED"
w. H. Cook Says Hines Talked to Governor Deneen When He Thought He was Talking to
 Former Governor Yates

snringfield, H., April 25.--C. IF Wiebe, brother n-law of Edward Hines. Chicago Iumberman, admitted be- fore the senate bribery investigation committee today that Hines sent him on a midnight mission to the Grand
 Pacific hotel in Chicago in an effort
 to help W, H. Cook and William O'Brien. Minnesota lumbermen, evade Cook county process servers at the time the Lorimer scandal first became public in
 May, 1910
 Wiehe's statement followed and to a certain degree corroborated a sensa- tional recital by w. H. Cook Of Duluth, Minn who said that he was in room at the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago on May 26. 1909, with William F. OBrien and Edward Hines when Hines telephoned to someone he called gov ernor" at Springfield. During this tel ephone conversation by Hines, Cook said that Hines asserted to the gov ernor" that he (Hines) was ready to take the next train to Springfield with
 all the money necessary to effect Lori
 mer's election to the United States
 Senate Lorimer's election occurred later that same day.
 M B. Coan. investigator for the com
 mittee, testified that he had interview ed William O'Brien in Duluth within the last week and that O'Brien told practically the same story as Cook,
 only differing in that O'Brien got the impression that former Governor Rich
 ard Yates was on the Springfield end
 of the telephone at the time Hines talked from the Grand Pacific hotel.
 Wiehe admitted on cross examination
 that Hines was with O'Brien and Cook
 at the hotel on May 26, 1909, holding business conference.
 Having Bad Time
 Early in his testimony MT. Cook told of meeting Hines and Henry Furnish, a lumberman of Duluth, Minn., who is
 in Oregon at present. This is the wit

 MT Hines was going through the
 lobby of the Grand Pacific hotel and ---------------~>----- CONTINUED ON PAGE 11.N

/ The question OF sending to the Cen

already studying under the care Of the

Presbytery up in a mass OF complica-

unravel. IL was necessary TO send ap-
proval of all at once, and J. B Foster,
Jr., had unwittingly tied matters UP
by last June resigning from member
ship in East Lake Church in order %
Join the Cincinnati Church where he
is In charge Of chapel work. The Rev.

Mr.. Foster out Of their list Of ap-
prevails sent in to the General Board
without notifying him of how matters
stood, and giving him a chance to
come back to New Castle Presbytery
But the list has TO be sent in directly
for the sake of the other young men
waiting. IL was finally decided to send
a night telegram to Mr.. Foster.
