KNOX To MEXICO
Demands Protection For
American Citizens.
TWO MURDERED BY BANDITS
Ambassador Wilson Sends Word
That United States Citizens Are
in State Of Great Alarm in
Mexico City.

Washington, May 1.-TWO Ameri'
cans, sons OF Judge Melvin Goldman,
have been murdered by revolutionary
bandits at their fathers hacienda
Buena Suceso, near Acapulco. Mex.
This section is now in the hands OF
tae rebels, although the city Of AGA
pulco has not yet been captured.
Through Henry Lane Wilson, Ameri-
can ambassador at Mexico City, Sec
rotary of State Knox has demanded
that the Mexican government furnish
protection TO the American citizens az
Acapulco, where conditions, according
to official reports. are described as
most disQuieting" and "intolerable.
At the request of Ambassador VIII
son the Mexican war Office has tele-
graphed to the commanding officer Of
the regular troops at Acapulco direct
ing him to furnish protection to the
Americans there
In spite Of the fact that negotiations
for the restoration of peace between
the Mexican government and the in
surrectos are in progress in different
parts of Mexico. the Americans and
other foreign residents in Mexico City
are a. med and anxious over the APP
parently dangerous conditions in the
republic. Reports were received at
the state department showing that
fighting is still in progress in many
sections Of the country.
Ambassador Wilson telegraphed to
the state department saying that the
anxiety and alarm among the Ameri-
cans and other foreigners there was
increasing. and that this feeling. he
added. was probably due to the appre-
hension on the part of the Americans
that the pending peace negotiations
would fail and Of consequent preya-
lence Of anarchy, which would result
from a resumption Of hostilites.
That the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can naval vessels sent to visit the
Mexican coast cities was a mistake is
now privately admitted in official cir
Giles. They were originally sent south
on the usual practice cruises, and II
il should become necessary to again
dispatch them to Mexican waters
there could be no concealment Of the
real purpose Of their movements.
The reference of the state depart
ment to the "intolerable conditions
existing al Acapulco is taken in some
quarters as a sign Of the intention Of
the government to dispatch cruisers
to that part and TO Mazatlan as well.

Dictator Must Retire to End HostilL
ties In Mexico.
FL Paso. Tex, May with the
prospects bright for peace on Friday
and the talk all turning to the dis
bandment of the army. today every
body is asking: What will happen
when the armistice expires?'
Madero says the armistice may not
be extended. While preparations we're
made for the resumption Of the peace
conference. it being presumed that
something would be received one way
or the other from President Diaz on
the question OF his resignation, all the
preparations were for naught and
there was no meeting.
The insurgent peace commissioners
announced fatty that the least they
would take from Diaz was a public
announcement that he intended TO re-
tire on a certain date. II he would do
this they would not force him to agree
to a resignation as one Of the provis-
ions OF the peace treaty. This was
wired to the president
Judge Francisco Carbajal. chairman
OF the Mexican commission, denied
that he had sent the message 10 Diaz.
He said he didn't come here to discuss
presidential designations, but peace.
Oscar Braniff, member OF the fed
eral peace commission, said the mes
sage had been sent and that he didn't
believe that Diaz would consider it or
reply to IT.
In the insurrecto camp Francisco /.
Madero, provisional president, declin-
ed to say what would be done II no
reply was received.
Inasmuch as Francisco Gobez is the
insurrecto peace commissioner and
has put down the ultimatum that there
will be no further negotiations until
Diaz says something about his resig-
nation. there are now fears of re-
sumption of hostilities. as Gomez has
been looked upon all the time "as the
bird OF peace" the man who did more
than any other person except the
senior Madero to hold off the attack
on Juarez. If he agrees that peace Is
not possible those who have watched
the situation look for nothing short OF
a resumption of hostilities.

Paint Folly
Respectfully.
VI. II. Dickinson

Folly to put-ofT painting when
paint is high, and folly to use
cheap" paint.
Your buildings are worth
you say how much. If you
don't paint them, how much less
will they be worth in a year ?
1t will cost more to paint next
year: it will take more paint at
about s. a gallon for paint and
labor.
How much is the cost of paint
by the year?
Depends on the paint. An
average job is 5000 square feet,
10 gallons Devoe: 1925 a gal
lon for paint and $3.50 a day
$3.50 a gallon too) for painting:
&.75 a gallon: $47.5O. How
long will it last? Depends On
the owner: say 5 years; and your
cost for Devoe is $3.50 a year.
Cheap" paint, $1.75 a gallon,
takes Is gallons, labor the same
$3.50 a day or gallon: 1925 a
gallon: Is gallons $69.75. Say
it lasts 2 years; it isn't sure two
years; it isn't sure at all.
Enough: cheap" paint costs
more than good.

HONOR CARNEGIE
Il Republics Unite to Give
Him Peace Medal.
"BENEFACTOR OF HUMANITY"
The First Time in History When
so Many Nations Have Joined
in Tribute to an Indi-
vidual.
''BtNEFACTOR OF HUMANITY"

Washington, May 6. - Twenty-one
American republics united to honor
Andrew Carnegie, the disciple OF uni
yersal peace. They bestowed upon him
a gold medal, bearing on one side the
words "Benefactor of Humanity and
on the other The American Republics
TO Andrew Carnegie" The retired iron
master declared IL was the greatest
mark OF honor he ever received.
According to John Barrett, director
general OF the Pan American Union,
II was the first time In history that
such a tribute from so many nations
had been paid to an individual Senior
De Zamacona, the Mexican ambassa-
dor. made the speech Of presentation;
Secretary Of State Knox presided, and
President Taft spoke in eulogy OF the
gifts which Mr.. Carnegie has made for
the cause OF peace on this hemisphere
and throughout the world.
Members Of the diplomatic corps
and men high in official life filled the
hall Of the Pan American Union build
ing where the ceremonies were held.
and for the erection Of which Mr.. Car
negic gave almost a million dollars.
In accepting the medal Mr. Carne'
gle told Of his feelings on being in
formed of the honor conferred upon
him by the Pan American conference
at Buenos Ayres.
Il was sitting at my desk in the
Highlands Of Scotland last autumn"
he said. when a telegram was handed
to me. which opened and read with
out seeming quite to grasp the mean
ing OF the words. | was stunned,
Was / dreaming? Gould such things
be and overcome us like a summers
cloud without our special wonder?'
MY hands went to my forehead and
| bent my head TO my desk. Slowly
the truth developed and established
itself and | began to realize what 1t
all meant Truly. my friends never
before felt so completely overwhelmed
and crushed as il dawned upon me
that the honor which the conference
had voted to confer was without par
allel: l6O,0OO,OOO people forming
twenty-one sovereign nations, bestow
ing upon poor me an honor the Ike
OF which had never before been be
slowed upon human being
Referring TO President Taft's sd-
dress a year ago when he voiced a
sentiment for a reign of peace among
the Pan American republics, Mr. Car
negie said.
Thus the presidents first invitation
to establish a reign Of peace was prop
orly made to you. Much has taken
place since then. lie recently held out
the olive branch OF peace. and 1t in
stantly was accepted by the other
branch OF our English-speaking race
wit hsuch enthusiasm, not by one but
By all parties. that today We have
every reason to believe that war as a
means OF settling disputes between the
two branches OF our race will soon
become a crime OF the past
In Offering thanks to the nations,
through their diplomats present for
the honor bestowed upon him, Mr..
Carnegie asked them to accompany
the expression with the ardent wish
on his part that prompt action should
be taken by the twenty-one republics
to establish a reign OF peace by
adopting President Taft's policy OF
submitting all disputes to arbitration.
