IS HOPEFUL OF PEACE.
Senator Stone Amends His Opinion
of Mexican Border Conditions.

That the cessation of hostilities along
the border. due to the victory Of the in
surrectos at Juarez and the movement of
federal troops away from the Rio Grande,
has relieved the embarrassment of the
United States, is the opinion Of Senator
Stone, who visited the President early
today.
The senator from Missouri who several
days ago insisted that this government
send troops across the line, today be-
lieves that Intervention may not be neces-
sary.
But" he added, III this reckless fight
ing is to be continued along the border
and the lives Of Americans endangered
by stray bullets from Mexican rifles. the
United States should take radical action
This government was not SO slow to
act in Panama. Why, we ought to exer-
else supervision over all Latin American
countries on this continent
Although the Missourian said he did
not discuss the Mexican situation with
the President, 1t was regarded by some
as significant that Secretary Of War
Dickinson called on Mr.. Taft at the same
time.
In leaving. Mr.. Stone said he believed
that the warning factions in Mexico
should be allowed to flight 1t out" to
continue hostlities as long as they
chose. but that they must not be al
lowed to fight so close to the boundary
as to jeopardize American lives and
property.

The new chief clerk came near 1t, on

That created smile around the
precedent-loving Senate, and Mr.. South
evidently desired to make a change on

Navarro Gets HandShake
as He SurrenderS Sword

JUAREZ, Mexico. May 11.-This little
bullet-riddled city is today the provisional
capital Of Mexico. Francisco l. MaderO.
IT., provisional president. and his staff
have taken possession after winning the
bloodiest battle of the Mexican revolution.
In his former headquarters Gen. Juan
J. Navarro, the federal commander, Is a
paroled prisoner, having surrendered yes
terday with almost his entire garrison.
The bitter sting Of defeat has disheart-
ened him.
In contrast, In another part Of the
town is Francisco I. Madero, jr., the
conqueror, surrounded by members of his
family and his staff, joyous, exultant
and flushed with victory, yet ready, he
says. to make peace with the Mexican
government if 1t is disposed to deal SIN
cerely, and without such vague promises
as President Diaz's manifesto contains.
He said of the federal captives: You
fought for Gen. Diaz because you had to,
because you were a part OF that system
which we are trying to dissolve. In
few days, perhaps. peace will be restored.
You will soon be free.
IF the war is to be continued you can
have your choice In being patroled or
Joining the army of liberation. In the
meantime We shall treat you as brothers,
not as foes"

dent Diaz, at its head. Rebel leaders de-
clare President Diaz has not been In
actual control for some time, and that the
iron hand OF the federal government is
that OF Minister Lmantour. Advices
from Mexico City, they say, tell of the
complete mastery Of the situation which
Minister Limantour and the cabinet have
assumed.
Minister Idmantour and de la Barra
have been most conspicuous In handling
the government end Of the peace negotfa-
lions, and the rebels suspect that many
steps already have been taken without the
participation of President Dtaz.
Aimed at President Diaz.
On the other hand the rebel leaders
know President Diaz is the only man who
can decide the question of resignation,
and they intend to bring more military
pressure to bear to effect that result.
Much interest and curiosity, for instance.
was displayed by Gen. Madero and his
chiefs today in how Mexico City took the
rebel victory, and what the people in the
United States thought about 1t. Gen.
Madero believes he has q strong following
in Mexico City and on the occasion of
rebel successes does not conceal the ex-
pectation that his supporters will make a
demonstration there.

tiers had arrived in Juarez, giving the TN
preston that they are tnsurrectos. He

Rebel General Refuses
to Pass Americans

cual Orozco. commander Of the rebel
forces. had, blood in his eyes today as
he stood by the International bridge and
refused to permit any one from Ell Paso
to cross into Juarez even though they
had passes from Col. Steever through
the United States lines. It appears that
Gen. Orozco and his staff last night were
invited to a banquet by Mayor Kelly Of
Ell Paso, and the United States troops
would not permit Orozco and his officers
to cross.
The situation with regard to the pass
ago of persons and supplies back and
forth is rapidly becoming aggravated, and
there was considerable apprehension to-
day that there might be trouble.
Col. Steever has only general instruc-
lions from Washington, the authorities
having withheld specific orders as to how
to deal with the de facto government in
Juarez. Gen. Madero, his wife. and Gen.
Navarro, the deposed federal commander,
rode about the town early today in an
automobile. Mrs. Madero fears that dis
ease may be brought on unless the dead
be buried quickly. and orders were given
today for a careful search OF all houses
and yards for bodies that may have been
overlooked yesterday.

DISTRICT MAY VOTE.

FRANCHISE TO BE LIMITED
NAME CONVENTION DELEGATES

Residents Of Washington will have an
op portunity to vote in primaries, if bill
which Senator Bristow OF Kansas intro
duced today becomes a law.
It is proposed to hold nominating pri-
maries in the District. at which prefer
ences will be expressed for candidates for
the nominations for President and Vice
President of the United States and at
which delegates to national conventions,
pledged to carry out those preferences,
and the national committeeman for the
District shall be elected.
The law framed for the District is put
forth as a model for all states and ter
ritories that have delegates in the ma
tional conventions. Should it be adopted
throughout the country it would mean
that the candidates for President and Vice
President would be chosen at primaries
held in every voting precinct or district
in the nation, and simply formally rati-
fled by the national conventions of the
several political parties.
At the proposed primaries the electors
of the District are to express their first
and second choice for nominees for Pres
ident and Vice President, elect delegates
to the national party conventions and
elect national committeeman. 1t Is pro-
vided, in the first section:
