PEACE ENJOYS
CONFER TODAY
Discuss Plans fer Ending
the Mexican War.

El Paso, Tex, May 4-The first
meeting of the commissioners to decide
terms of permanent peace in Mexico
will take place this afternoon. Judge
CarbaJal, the Diaz envoy, met Madero,
provisional president, in the grove of
trees across the Rio Grande, where
the conferences win be held. Arrange
ments for the formal meetings were
made at that time.
Madero vas driven to the scene in a
carriage escorted by a troop of cavalry,
and Carbajal rode TO the meeting in
an automobile, unattended except by
Oscar Braniff and Esquive Obregon,
volunteer commissioners who have
been here for some time working In
the interest Of peace. Carbajal has
fully satisfied the insurrecto officials
that he Is clothed with full power to
act finally for the Mexican government
down to business. He says he will act
alone for his government and that
Governor Ahumada and Rafael Her
nspdez are to be his advisers.
Vasquez Gomez will act solely for
the tnsurrectos, advised by Pena
saarez and Francisco Madero, Sr.
Tnasmuch as the armistlce was only

neye that there will not be much
trouble in coming to an agreement.

HARD PROBLEM
FOR WATER BID.
How TO Keep Up With
Growth of City.

With a $4,000 proposition on It's
hands in the construction of a main
across the Raritan river, connecting
this city with the water works at
Runyon, and all the money to be
raised from it's own funds, the Board
of Water Commissioners has a hard
proposition before it as to how they
may keep up with the growth Of
needed improvements in the city
proper.
Wants Main In Meade Street.
Jens Sorensen, who is about to
erect fourteen houses in Meade
street, appeared before the board
and ~asked-that a water main be laid
In that street to connect with his
proposed houses. The Improvement
would cost about $500, 1t is under
stood, and would mean a e of
about 5000 yearly to the city. The
board did not feel at liberty to act
favorably on the matter at last
nights meeting because of several
similar petitions which they have
been holding up and which have an
equal claim for immediate action.
The improvement of M section will
mean the improvement of others
and the board has to go carefully in
the matter on account of the ex-
pense involved In a general extern
sion OF mains which needs careful
figuring in order that It may be
financed In connection with the new
main to go across the river. The
board will report on the matter of
main extension In the city at It's next
meeting in all probability.
Permission was given the Roessler
& Hasslacher Chemical Company to
connect their new factory at Rector
and Commerce street by a four-inch
pipe to the main in Commerce street.
Receive Bids On May IT.
The receiving and opening OF bids
for the construction of the new
twenty-four-inch main under the
Raritan river was postponed upon
notification to all the bidders from
last night to the night Of May IT.
Charles Everett, a famous diver, WAS
present at last nights meeting, rep
resenting the Merritt Chapman Com
pany, who will bid on the construc-
ton Of the main. Mr.. Everett ex-
amlned the hull of the Inflated bat
after its sinking, and pronounced
the hull to have been blown open
from external sources. He Is now
connected with the work In the
sound in connection with the con-
struction OF the new Public Service
power house at the foot of Bucking-
ham avenue.
Plumbers licenses were granted
George w. Hoagland and ]. N. Ken
nedy. Walter Robinson has offered
to sell the board two lots adjoining
the water works property at Runyon
at a low figure. The offer is being
Investigated.
Members present at last nights
meeting were President Snedeker
and Commissioners Grouse and
Fraser.

SHADE TREE BOARD
FINISHES PARK WORK

Work has just been finished by
the Shade Tree Commission OF set
ting out trees around the city hall
park. Two flower beds set out last
fall in front of police headquarters
are now blooming nicely. Another
flower bed will be placed in the
same grass plot near the entrance to
the city hall proper.
In trloming some of the trees
around the park a few weeks ago
some large branches were cut off.
Chief of Police Burke took n of
the branches and planted 1t behind
the police headquarters on the ami
versary of his birth which occurred
at that time. The branch has taken
root and is already beginning to bud.
For the present the Shade Tree
Commissioners, who consist Of Matt
Weirup, John Kutcher and John G.
Donehue, will devote their efforts to
placing shrubs and rose bushes In
various advantageous points about
the city. The young trees will also
be assisted In their growth by sup
porting stakes.

Picture OF GoIdstein.
Detective Sergeant Long had one
of Goldstein's pictures which he
showed around the vicinity of Third
avenue and One Hundred and Seven
ty-second street, New York, yester-
day. Several people recognized the
man by the picture, including some
harness dealers and liverymen. At
ter searching a number of stables,
Jacob Schwartz was sen into the st.
Paul sales stables at 1852 Third ave-
nue.. He soon came out in great ex-
almost creating a riot by
jumping, throwing his hat
in the air, etc. He had found one
of his missing horses, a straight
buckskin animal. 1t was found that
the other a white mare. had been
there, but had died.
Joseph Shulman, of 1877 Third
avenue, New York, was arrested for
receiving stolen animals and dispos-
ing of them to the liverymen. He
was released on promise TO assist
the police in recovering the animals,
which have gone through his hands
Schwartz walked his animal to this
city, starting last night and arriving
here this morning, via Staten Island.
He borrowed a wagon here to finish
his journey.
Find Owner or Wagon.
Detective Sergeant Huff and Coun-
ty Detective Peltier found where
Goldstein secured the wagon he had
attached to the horses on his arrest
in this city. A county farmer think
ing Goldstein was perfectly straight
had purchased several horses from
him and had also given him storage
place for the wagon. All the horses
which Goldstein sold and the wagon
have proven to have been stoleI
from Staten Island several months
ago.
About fifty men are working
around Middletown and other points
trying to locate the Hendrickson
horses for which a reward Of 5000 is
offered with 5000 additional If the
thief Is caught.

NOT TO SUBMIT
HIS EVIDENCE
District Attorney Changes
Tactics in M'hamara Case.

Los Angeles, Cal, May Nv. j.
Ford, district attorney, has arrived In
Los Angeles from indianapolis, bring
ing with him, according to reports
fession made by Ortie McManigal in
Chicago, but refusing either to affirm
or deny that be has 1t.
The deputy prosecutor, bombarded
by questions from newspaper men,
evaded answers to practically every
one. He said that he would make no
statement regarding his trip or the
evidence he obtained until he had
conferred with ]. D. Fredericks, his
chief, and perhaps not then.
John J. Mcnamara and his brother,
James B. Mcnamara, may be a~rraigned
this afternoon. IT developed, however,
that they probably will not be charged
with the dynamiting of the Times
building and the killing of twenty-one
men. The prosecution wants to avoid
submitting its evidence In the main
case at the ~arraignment Of the McNa-
maras and therefore may resort to
John Doe warrants and minor charges
to hold the prisoners. 1t Is admitted
that there are some points In the EVIL
dence to be cleared up and that If the
defense got possession Of it at this
time 1t would gain an advantage.
District Attorney Fredericks declin-
ed to say what che minor charges
against the McNamaras win be.
A dispatch received here brought
news that the finger prints obtained
from James 3. Mcnamara had been
received Ia San Francisco and are to
be compared with those found on the
launch Peerless used to carry the dy-
Mantle that J. B. Bryce and his associ-
ates brought from Giant to South
Francisco.
Despite the confidence the defense
displays that Clarence Darrow will
come to Los Angeles, rumers persist
that he will not. 1t is asserted that
the case, as laid before him, looks so
strong against the men that he Is not
willing to take the defense.

the New Play.

Lady Audley's Secret" Is the bill
for the last half of the week at the
Bijou and it promises to Guido any
thing yet offered by that popular
stock company. 1t is a dramatiza-
ton of the famous novel of the same
name by Miss Braddon, and Is one
of the most successful pieces pro-
duced by stock companies.

laws. The first husband turns up
Unexpectedly and to save herself
from disgrace Lady Audley kills him

closely intermingled that one hardly
knows we're to stop laughing and
start crying. 1t IS very carefully
cast and is sure to be n of the
Bijou's largest successes.
