DOVES OF PEACE PERTURBED.
TWO PRESS DISPATCHES WORRY
PEACE ADVOCATES.
MaderO Men Deny Reports of Meet
ing Between de In Barra and Reb-
els Representative.

FL Paso. Texas, April 5.-Two AS
sociated Press dispatches. one from q
staff correspondent in the field with
Madero. and the other from Washing
ton. perturbed the local peace camp
today.
The publication OF the Washington
telegram in which the fact that DIR.
Gomez, the revolutionary agent at
Washington, and the ambassa
dor. Francisco dc la Barra, had
started peace negotiations on their
own accord 10 days or more ago, was
the first jolt. 1t was called to the
attention of Don Francisco Madero,
father Of the rebel leader.
II think 1t Is not So" he remarked
hopefully and waited for corrobora-
ton.
ut Is the truest thing that has
come out Of either camp In q long
time. and it's publication was author
lied by both Gomez and de la Barra.
Now. are you working In harmony
with Gomez?" was asked.
"Oh, yes, certainly. / think it is
not So"
Later Rafael Hernandez, a sort of
unofficial go-between. trying to for
ward the peace meeting, was referred
to the Washington story. He, too, re-
marked: II think 1t is not So"
AS he made the comment his brow
was uplifted in eloquent appeal for
confederation. He was assured. like
Don Francisco. that the story was
true. Then he excused himself.
The dispatch from Madero's camp
west of Chihuahua, stating. among
other vital facts, that the rebel leader
would consider no negotiations which
do not have the resignation of Diaz
|, as a basis, spread more gloom. Yes
terday all plans were made for the
so-called peace ENJOYS to visit Mad
ero In camp. Tonight Hernandez said
they did not know whether the trip
would be made.

WOULD LET MEXICO ALONE.
Socialist Congressman Introduces a
Resolution Calling for Withdrawal
Of Troops From Border.

Washington. April 5.-A resolution
asking for the withdrawal Of the
United States army from the border
of Mexico and for the submission to
congress by the president OF all papers
bearing on the Mexican situation was
introduced in the house today by Vie
tor Berger. the Socialist congressman
from Milwaukee.
He referred to 1.-The despotism and
brutality OF the Mexican governing
class" which, he says, have goaded
the people OF that country to revolu-
tion. No attempt has been made,
says the resolution, to invade the
United States, but the presence OF the
American army on the border line is
being used by the Mexican ruling in
terests to intimidate revolutionists.

Dix and Murphy Unite in Paying
High Tribute to Successful Jurist.

Albany, ". Y, March 31.-Supreme
Court Justice James Aloysius O'Gor-
man, Democrat, of New York city was

On the final ballot-the 64th-he
received 112 votes to so cast for
Chauncey M. Depew, whose term ex-
pired March 4.
The result was in doubt almost to
the minute Of recording the votes,
owing to the uncertainty as to how
many Of the Democratic insurgents,
who for over two months had pre-
vented an election because Of their
opposition to William H. Sheehan,
would enter the second caucus which
had been adjourned from day to day
since Monday.
AT the close Of a day Of almost con-
tinuous negotiations the insurgents
capitulated and Justice O'Gorman was
elected. A few minutes before the
ballot was cast Justice O'Gorman's
resignation from the bench was filed
at the office Of the secretary of State
as a constitutional provisional would
have prevented his election while
holding the office Of justice Of the
supreme court.
Wild applause marked the end OF
the long contest and the legislature
driven from the State capitol by

resolution adjourning until April IT.

cation at the result.
