JUDGE 0'G0RMAN
CHOSEN SENATOR
Noted New York JuriSt viii
Succeed Depew.
GETS THE INSURGENTS VOTES
Mr.. OGorman Made a Fine Record
on Supreme Bench Of New York
Clty--For 30 Years One Of
Tam,ranv's Best Orators.

Albany, N. Y.-By an unanimous
vote OF 112 of ia Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature, Justice
James A. O'Gorman, of New YORK,
was elected United States Senator 10
nll the vacancy caused by the eXpira-
ton of the term of Chauncey NJ. De
pew. He is the first Democrat to be
sent to the Senate from the Empire
State since Edward Murphy was
chosen in 1893.
Fifteen OF the 30 insurgents re-
mained out OF the caucus which pre-
ceded the election. All Of them voted
for Justice O'Gorman on Joint bal
lot. When the election was over,
like Democrats Of old, the insurgents
and regulars threw their hats in the
air together and agreed to WORK
shoulder to shoulder for the accom-
plishment of the important measures
which have been sidetracked by the
Senatorial squabble.
Confusion that almost approached
disorder and thunderous demonstra'
tions of relief marked the termina'
ton OF the remarkable deadlock,
which has held the Legislature prac'
tically at a standstill for "a days
lO1a weeks. The end OF the long,
wearing struggle came in the Council
room OF the City Hall, with the legis-
iators, packed like sardines in box
and with the Democratic leaders
standing by with eagle eye, worried
almost to the last for fear their plans
for a settlement would at the finaI
moment be upset.
A recess has been taken until April
II to give workmen chance to re-
pair the damaged Capitol. Meantime
the leaders will busy themselves Will
some of the important administra
ton measures, and it is expected thai
when the lawmakers reconvene or
the day after Easter legislation VII
be put through with rush.
Governor Dix, whose business ad
ministration has been imperiled by
the deadlock, has expressed deep re
lief that the warfare has ceased. His
expressions of qualification have
found echoes in the statements o
practically all the leaders, Republi
can as well as Democratic.

END OF pEvOLT IN SIGHT
Reves to Return and Lead the Foder-
al Forces--Dlsz Govern
ment Yielding.

Washington, d. C.-Advices re-
ceived here from the City of Mexico
so far toward clearing up the OBJ
scurity that has surrounded the
situation in the southern republic.
They make 1t apparent that the
Diaz government has pretty COM
pletely yielded to the more moderate
element, and that the Limantour-De
La Barra Cabinet that Is coming into
power is to be given opportunity 20
compose differences In the country
and that the Madero family may be
brought into cooperation in this Af-
fort.
The most important indication OF
this purpose Is the definite announce
ment that General Reyes is to come
home from France, and that he Will
not enter the Cabinet. He Will, In
stead, take charge of military opera
tions for the Government IN North
ern Mexico, the seat OF the most
alarming disturbances.
Reyes is in many ways the most
potent personal force with the Mexi-
can people He possesses at once
the affection OF the army and the con
fdence of the people. There are
those who Insist that II he takes COM
mand OF the Federal forces the
Maderists will to a considerable force
desert the revolutionary standard.
Nothing could better demonstrate
the observation Of the old Diaz
methods than the return OF Reyes.
Suggestive Of the possible develop
ments is the insistent report that De
la Barra, on his way to Mexico City,
will confer with Francesca I. Malero,
probably at some place on the Mexi-
can border. De IN Barra conferred
in New York with the head OF the
Madero family. the father Of Fran
cesco; there is every reason to be
lieve that negotiations OF much
significance are actually I'm progress
between the Maderos and the new
leaders.
President Taft's purpose In send
Ing the American troops to the bor-
der is becoming clearer with each
days events, and it is growing ap-
parent that the moral effect Of that
move Is largely responsible for the
establishment OF compromise
regime that may yet restore peace to
the country.

FIRE VICTIMS NUMBER 1A
Sixteen-year-old Girl Who Jumped
From the Ash Building
is Last to Die.

New York.-The death OF Sarah
Kupla, 16-year-old girl, who jumped
from the eighth floor of the Asch
building during the recent fire hor'
ror, brought the list of victims up to
a total of 144. The girls back was
broken and she had been unconscious
ever since the fatal leap.
The identification of another girls
body by a strange arrangement OF
buttons on her shoe brought the list
Of unnamed down to IA. There
seems little chance OF further identi-
fication and the Charities Board has
made arrangements to bury them In
the cemetery of the Evergreens in
a plot owned by the city.
Assistants of the district attorneys
Office and Fire Marshal Beers, who
are conducting Investigations into the
disaster, besides visiting the Asch
Building, further examined survivors.
Contributions to the relief fund
amounts to more than S5S,000.
An aged woman who said she was
the mother of Annie Colletti, one OF
the fire victims, told the coroner that
when her daughters body was re
turned from the morgue for burial
ST. 500 which she says the young
woman had sewed in her skirt was
missing. She explained that her
daughter was afraid to trust banks
and always carried large sums OF
money on her person.

Mexico City.-With civil war rack
ing his domain from end to end
President Porfrio Diaz, aged, infirn
ruler of Mexico, stood before the
Mexican Congress and declared his
readiness TO concede the main points
demanded by his revolving people.
Trembling with age and weakness,
the ruler, in a scarcely audible voice,
read his annual message to Congress,
recommending the reforms which
have raised the red flag of revolution
I'm his dominions.
He declared that he bowed to the
public opinion" and conceded
the main points urged by the revolu'
tlonlsts. His specific recommenda'
tions were
Effective suffrage for all.
No reelection to the presidency.
Reform in local, provisional and
city government.
A division of the large landed
estates.
Subduod and silent the general
legislature and a brilliant gathering
of government officials listened to tho
renunciation of the iron tyrant. Not
a sound interrupted the reading OF
the lengthy document, and when the
President concluded q great sigh OF
relief was the only demonstration
Ministers, ambassadors and govern
ment officials declare that they see
the end of the present trouble in
Diaz's terms of surrender The whis'
pered verdict as the ruler was as
sisted from the congressional hall
was that Diaz win resign immediate
~ upon the restoration of peace.
All Mexico City, usually a riot OF
gayety of color, sank into somber
gloom i'm the expectations of a pos
sible defiance by the President.
Crowds gathered in the streets TO
await the news from the Congress,
and when the details Of the message
we're announced they fled away
silently. without demonstration.

THE WEAK, PREY

German Chancellor Says Dis
armament is Impossible
ARBITRATION is INADEQUATE.
Repres e ntative OF the Emporer De-
clares Any Conference on Sub
Ject OF General Disarmament
is Boun1 to Be Frutiless.

Berlin. - Chancellor Won Beth
mann -Hollweg, in the Reichstag, dis
cussed disarmament and internation-
al arbitration, but without departing
one iota from the well.known stand
point of the German government
often declared on former occasions.
The imperial chancellor saw the chief
difficulty in disarmament agreement
in the impossibility OF supervision OF
individual states. Control over
these" he said, II regard as abso-
lutely impracticable. The mere at
tempt to control would have no other
result than continual mutual distrust
and universal turmoil. General dis
armament is an insoluble problem so
long as men are men.
"It will remain true" continued
the Chancellor, that the weak will
be the prey of the strong. If any ma
ton feels that It is unable to spend
certain sums for defensive purposes
it VIII inevitably drop to the second
rank. There Will always be strong
er one ready to take its place. We
Germans in our exposed situation
cannot shut our eyes to this dire
reality only so far as we can main
tain peace,
"The nations, including Germany,
said the Chancellor, have been talk
ing disarmament since the first
Hague conference, but neither in Ger
many nor elsewhere has practical
plan been proposed. Great Britain
wishes the limitation Of armaments
but simultaneously wants a superior
or equal fleet Any conference OF
this subject Is bound to be fruitless
No standard for a limitation can be
found, and any conceivable propose
would be shattered on the question o.
control"
