FOUR CANDIDATES
FOR PRESIDENT
Of MEXICO
Madero'S Stock SIumpS Sadly
Following Break With Radi-
cal Element Of Party and
Reyes Announcement,
fBy Morning ssarnal special Leased wir.I


Mexico City. Aug. 1i.-Dr. Fran
cisco Nasquez Gomez today announc-
ed his willingness to become candi-
date for the presidency OF the repub-
lie. To an Associated Press reporter
he said that should the anti-re-elec-
tionists nominate him he could not
see his way clear to refuse.
At the same time, however. he de-
clared his relations with Francisco
Madro were cordial and that he still
was the candidate for vice president
on the Madero ticket
The old fight between church and
state will be resumed in Mexico. Not
withstanding the separation effected
by Benite JuareZ almost half a cen
tury ago the Catholic church acting
through the national Catholic party
has formally issued call for a con
vention TO place In nomination q
candidate. for the presidency.
That the anti-re-electionists vii
place DR.. Gomez in nomination ap.
pears probable in view of their for
mai break With Madero last night
Because of Maderos refusal to annul
the constitutional progressive party
which he caused to be created q few
weeks ago, the nti-re-electionists
repudiated him and named DR.. Gomez
as the head of their party.
Telegrams were sent Immediately
to the 457 e-electionists clubs
throughout the republic and tonight
II was claimed more than three hun
dred had approved their action.
IL seems certain there will be al
least four candidates for the presi
dency. A month ago there was but
one candidate in Madero. With
the announcement of General Reyes
that he would run there was noted a
heavy fall In the Madero stock and
now since the split in his ranks and
in view of the activity shown by the
Catholic party there is great uneasi'
ness among the Madero followers
The first convention is that of ths
anti-re- -ecctionists. On the following
day. August l6, the Catholics ar,
summoned to make their choice, and
on August 27 the progressives, Ma.
deros party win convene.

Liverpool. Aug. 1.-THE crisis II
the dockers' strike was reacred today
when the leading ship owners gave
notice that unless settlement were
reached by Monday they would at
tempt to effect n lockout in all the

leaders that unless they could hold

ment serious situation would arise.
In a letter to the lord mayor the
shipowners explain that affairs have
reached stage where trade Is Inn
possible as the men have refused 10

turn to work, The lord mayor has
offered his services as a mediator.

Additional cavalry and infantry

Commercial Club President,
Who Interviewed Taft, Re-
turns Confident That State
hood viii Pass,
SENATE VOTE CLEARLY
ON STATE RIGHTS ISSUE
Democrats, if Necessary, Will
Cut 0ut Recall Rather Than
Lose Arizona, Opinion of
Local Man,

president Taft will not veto the
Flood statehood resolution" said
President Simon Stern of the Abu-
querque Commercial cluo yesterday
on his return via the California limit
ed from an extended eastern trip dur
ing which he visited Washington and
had the pleasure of a personal inter-
view with the president. Mr.. Stern
makes all his statements as his "pri-
vate opinion bat in view of the fact
that he interviewed not only the presi-
dent but q large number of senators
and representatives in close touch
with the true inwardness of the state
hood situation, his optimistic report is
extremely encouraging to the people
of New Mexico.
at is my belief" said Mr. Stern,
that President Taft will either sign
the bill under protest, delivering a
good strong lecture to Arizona on the
evil of her Judiciary recall, or that he
will allow il to become q law by linn
itation. In his conversation with me
he never once stated that he would
veto the hill, making 1t quite clear
however. that he did not intend to
sign il unless the Objectionable recall
was recalled. TO my mind there Is
no reason why he should not do as
President Roosevelt did in the case Of
Oklahoma, sign the bill with a pro-
test It is the general feeling in con-
gress, even among those strongly
Opposed to the recall, that neither
congress nor tho president has q right
to dictate TO q state ogardinr hor
constitution. s@s
The very large vote in the senate
for the Flood resolution was evidently
along the issue of state rights. If the
president insists, however, | believe
that the Democrats will be willing to
amend the recall for judges out and
send the bill back to the president
rather than lose Arizona; for II is
generally conceded that as matters
stand now. IL the Flood resolution is
lost, New Mexico will come in auto
matically and leave Arizona out; for
there is only the remotest likelihood
Of an affirmative resolution by con-
gress disappearing the New Mexico
constitution; In fact that Is out of the
question: and nothing else would keep
cut New Mexico. This Is, of course.
q contingency that does not appeal to
the democrats and they will certainly
never allow II.
AS to the matter OF adjournment.
the house will not adjourn until it
gets ready, and do not think that
there Is any danger of statehood los
ing by reason Of an adjournment"
Mr.. Stern says the standpatters in
the senate have never reached the
stage where they will admit that the
Insurgents and democrats absolutely
control the upper house. Tho alli-
anee dominants absolutely in the sem
ate, said Mr.. Stern, "but the old line
republicans appear not to have found
il out"
Il am quite confident that state
hood will go through at this session,
said Mr.. Stern, which fully sums up
his opinion as the result of his per-
sonal visit to the scene of battle.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-While C. X. G.

geldtng, Chlan, to a new worlds rec
ord for trotters at Cleveland today.
his mother, Mrs. A. NJ. Billings of
Chicago, despite her SO years, was
making a little record of her own in
capturing would-be blackmailer or
hlackmailers, who are alleged to have
made threats in true black hand
fashion.
John Mills. a negro. and John
Hendricks, a white man about %
years. old. We're arrested.
Yesterday Mrs. Billings received a
letter demanding that $500 be wrap
ped in bundle of old clothes and
given to a man who would call and
ask for work and for a package. Mrs
Billings promptly notified private de-
tectiyes. who called the police to their
aid. The officers were scattered
about the grounds of the Billings
home on West Lake street today
when Mills appeared.
IL want job about the horses
here" Mills said to the maid, who
answered the door.
I'VE have no such work here" she
replied.
We'll, then, how about that pack

At this point the maid invited the
mysterious visitor into the house and
notified Mrs. Billings. who. owing to
the infirmities of her years, was in
bed. The maid was given a bundle OF
old clothes, but there was no money
concealed within it, and this she
handed to the negro, asking him to
wait for few moments. Then the
detectives were notified and the ar
rest followed. He expressed surprise
at his detention. He said he came to
Chicago last night from Cairo. and
met stranger who gave his name as
John Hendricks. Hendricks, he said,
asked him If he wanted to earn fifty
dollars. Mills said he was willing and
he said he was told to visit the Bill-
ing's home and to ask for work and
about the package. He was to nave

OF the mission.
Mills, after his arrest, led the off
GERS to a west side saloon where he
pointed out Hendricks. Mills said he
was the tool of Hendricks and knew
nothing of threatening letters received
by Mrs. Billings.

REACH AGREEMENT
ON WOOL TARIFF
REVISION
CONFERENCE TO REPORT
COMPROMISE BILL TODAY
Effort win Be Made to Rush
it Through Senate and House
and Put 1t Up to President
for Executive Veto,
lBy Morning journal speeial Leased wlr.I


Washington, Aug. IL. - Doffing
their coats and for the first time in
history inviting the newspaper men 10
be present, the conferees of the two
houses of congress on the wool tariff
and farmers free list bills. sat down
/, today TO compare their differences.
Finally at p. m. they effected a
complete agreement on wool and be-
gan consideration OF the free list bill.
The conference began at 10 o'clock
this morning.
The wool BILL as agreed upon will be
reported to the senate tomorrow by
Senator LaFollette and to the house
by Representative Underwood. These
men will direct the course of the bill
in those two bodies.
The bill was so amended as to re-
quire that the proposed law shall take
effect October instead of January /.
as provided in the senate and house
measures. The program Is TO have the
report adopted in both houses tomor-
row. The president Is expected to veto
il.
The free list bill was under consid-
Grafton about fifteen minutes but the
conflict between the representatives
that 1t became necessary to postpone
acton until tomorrow afternoon.
After fixing 20 per cent advalorem
as the duty on raw wool and changing
/ the wool classification as to conform
to the language of the house BILL the
conferees soon reached an agreement
on other matters of detail.
The change of classification has the
.,ff .f ftxsfex LAT .lstfx~ Al.
and while it reduces the rates on ordi-
nary woods from 35 per cent as pro-
vided in the senate bill. and increases
those of the house bill from 20 per
cont, II also increases the rates on
carpet woods from 10 per cent, as pro-
vided In the senate bill. to the 20
per cent fixed by the confcrees.
In most respects the duties of the
manufacturers OF wool were increased
over the rates of the house bin and re-
duced below those Of the senate bin
so as to make them correspond with
the raw wool rate; but In some in
stances they were made higher than
those of either measure.
When the free list bill was laid be.
fore the conference Mr. Underwood
ANNOUNCED the absolute refusal of
tho house to accept the senate amend
ments confining the free admission OF
meats and cereals to those coming
from countries with which the United
States has reciprocal trade agreements
which would confine the free importa-
tion of these articles to imports from
Canada. He stated also that the house
would insist upon adding lemons to
the free list.
II will never sign a conference re-
port on those lines" said Senator
Bailey. almost before the chairman Of
the house conferees had opportunity
to complete his outline Of the house
position.
With this decided difference of
opinion Mr.. Underwood made an ef-
fort to obtain the consent of all par
ties to report disagreement. Mr..
Bailey WIS again obdurate
