Machinists Plan National Strike.

A May day strike, the grcatc.t
fight for the S-hour-day in years. =
planned by leaders of union m1chin-
lists in New York. The strike is
scheduled to take in all union M

to employers, and If agreements are
made before the date set, the con-
troversy may be averted.
Five thousand New York machin
lists made thorough preliminary ar
engagements Sunday. Assessments
were arranged to help finance the
strike and committees were appoin-
ted. A general strike of the Inter.

MEXICAN RULER
HEEDS THE REBELS
WILLING TO GRANT DEMAND
THAT PRESIDENTS AND OTHERS
SHALL NOT BE REELECTED.
PROMISES TO HEED GRIEVANCES
OF THE PEOPLE-READY TO
REFORM JUDICIARY SYSTEM.
Will Fly It So That All Reasonable
Complaints Of the People
Shall Be Heard.

The principle of no reelection for
the president and other executive
functionaries and effective reformation
OF the judiciary. aud the electoral
laws demanded by the rebels, were
conceded in the message of Presi-
dent Diaz to congress. Reforms
touching the power of local and state
authorities also We're promised.
After reviewing at length the prog
ress OF the nation during the last six
months and more briefly the events
leading up to the rebellion and its
progress, the message continued:
Recent expressions of public opin-
ION on various questions of govern
mental policy have attracted general
attention, and for this reason the
executive deems fit TO make known
the measures which he believes ought
to be adopted and the views by which
he viii be guided in his endeavors
to warrant the confidence which the
country has reposed in him.
The change Of ministry Just eff
iected aims. for example, at satisfy
ing In practice one general aspiration,
which is that the political personnel
be renovated from time to time.
furthermore, measures will be
taken that will demonstrate a firm
purpose to give heed to reasonable
complaints made against the authori-
ties, especially those who are in clos
est touch with the people
1T is to be hoped that in this policy
the federal government will be Sec
onded by the governors of states,
which. by reason of the administra-
tive instrumentalities depenlgn on
them, are better able to remedy the
evil in question.
Intimately bound up with the
adoption of the principle of no re-
election is the question of the reform
OF the electoral laws, for inasmuch
as the long continuance in power of
certain functionaries is believed to be
in part attributable to the defects of
those laws, it is indispensable without
delay to amend them, to insure the
electoral activity of those citizens
who are considered capable of vot-
ing with a full consciousness of what
they are doing
tory results of the measures hitherto
taken to bring about the division of
large rural estates on terms that
would be fair to all concerned, so
as to render those estates available
for tillage, the executive is deter
mined to find means for carrying out
this important project in the most
efficient manner possible
"The various measures which it is
proposed to introduce after a mature
and minute consideration of all the
elements of the problem, will aim
fundamentally at insuring more effec-
lively the independence of the judi
ciary by securing a more select per-
sonnet and lengthening their term of
Office, while another object of the
measures in question will be to rem
der more stringent the responsibility
of judicial functionaries by providing
really efficacious forms of procedure
for bringing them to account in case
of malfeasance."
Gen. Diaz paid high tribute to the
Mexican soldiers.

Convicted Man Takes Poison.

Joseph II. Griffin, aged As, well
known Saginaw character, died in his
cell in the Bay county Jail a short
time after he had been convicted in
the Bay county circuit court of forg-
ing a marriage license. 1t is consid.
cred certain he took poison, although
no external evidence of it could be
found by doctors. An autopsy will
be held A verdict of guilty was rem.
dered against Griffin about 4 o'clock.
On his way back to his cell he told an
attendant that the county would have
some additional expense, as he was
going to die in a short time. Little
attention was paid to the remark. A
half hour after he had been locked
in his cell he was dead

who has inspected the prisons for

these contracts that much of the dope

Kalamazoo insane asylum is the

Are. Charges have been made TO the
effect that the members of the board
of this institution have been either
directly or indirectly selling supplies

trary to the law. 1t is charged that
exorbitant prices have been placed

that one departments expenses have
Increased from $50 month to Sl72

used for purposes other than these
for which they were appropriated.

The Ashley fraternal insurance bill
In which every Maccabee, Woodman
and other member of fraternal insur-
ance societies are interested has been
made joke. The bill as presented
provided for the raising of the rates
of all such societies to a uniform
standard approved by the National
Fraternal Congress. It was fought
bitterly by the membership OF the
Woodmen In particular, although the
head camp approved it. Attempts to
kill the bill failed but when it came
up on third reading an amendment
vas tackled on which provides that
the various societies must within six
months by referendum decide whether
they will accept its provisions or not,
AS they may do that now without the
bill at all it is manifest what a farce
the whole thing is. The referendum
in this case reduced the bill to 20
pages of words meaning nothing.

empted from taxation to the amount
Of $1,000 on their assessed valuation
provided their property is not valued
at more than $4,000 if the amended
Holcomb bill which has passed the
House also passes the Senate. This
bill had somewhat checkered career
in the House and as originally intro
duced provided that veterans should
not be exempt at all. Attempts were
made to defeat it with amendments
but they all failed except this one
which does make the exemption and

Senator Walter is making hard
fight against one provision OF the
Watkins game law bill which provides
that all persons using a gun shall pay
an annual hunters license of one dol

to secure the license. He holds that

wishes to hunt on his own property or
in the immediate vicinity should be
permitted to do so without the ex-
pense of travelling TO the county
seat to say nothing of the license fee
charged. The bill has passed the Sen
