Bath Tub Men Found Guilty.

Fines totaling S51,006 were imp oscd
on the bath tub trust defendants
found guilty in the United States court
in Detroit of violating the Sherman
law, after the government attorneys
had fought to have some of them sent
to Jail and counsel for the defense had
fought just as hard to save them from
doing time behind the bars of the De-
troit house of correction where they
would have been confied had Jail sent
ences been imposed.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Clar-
ence w. Sessions stipulated that all
fines must be paid by March 1 or the
convicted men would have to serve six
months in the house of correction.

tha Mexican capital Sunday after a
truce which lasted only a few hours.
The armistice, signed at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning by the representa-
tives OF both sides, agreeing to sus-
pend operations for "a hours, was
broken before noon. Soon the sound
of heavy cannonading and the whirl
OF machine guns announced the return
OF the federal troops to their posts in
front of the arsenal.
President Madero Sunday reiterated
his refusal to comply with the sugges-
ton Of the senators that he resign. He
declared that he was still able to
dominate and that, If given time, he
would crush the rebel forces.
Gen. Diaz had not shown himself TO
be greatly in favor of the armistice,
but consented to it out OF respect for
the efforts of the American ambas-
sador and the ministers of the powers
TO bring about cessation of hostilli-
ties until foreigners and other non
combatants, still within the zone OF
the fighting, could be removed to a
position of comparative safety.
Diaz regarded the truce as merely a
delay in the accomplishment OF his
fixed purpose to drive Madero out of
the presidency. The fighting Satur-
day had undoubtedly gone in favor of
the rebels, who had resisted all as
saults against them, had received into
their ranks several hundred federal
.deserters and had obliged the federal
commanders to admit that for the pre-
sent at least the rebel position was
impregnable.
Gen. Huerta, the commander of the
government troops, a hard fighter,
who has been through many cam
paigns. also was opposed to the arms
tice, and chafed under the terms which
it imposed upon him. Nor did he
willingly agree to the sending OF a
large body Of his forces back to the
federal base near the national palace.
President Madero's attitude was one
of evaporation, but as he had re-
quested the American government to
withhold intervention, he could do no
less than consent to an armistice
when the question was submitted di-
rectly to him. But he let it be known,
without equivocation, that he was
determined to retain the presidency.
Madero Reiterates Refusal to Resign.
While the federal guns pounded the
Diaz shell for she'll on Saturday the
senate of Mexico sat and discussed the
ousting of Madero from the presi-
dency.
Confident of ultimately defeating
Diaz, Mader'o defed the senate and ig-
nored the counsel of Francisco de la
Barra and other friends. He absolutely
refused to resign, but did not take the
trouble to make known his decision
personally to the senate.
The American embassy again came
directly within the line Of fire, and the
American ambassador, Henry Lane
rife bullets which whistled close to his
Wills on, had a narrow escape from the
head within the embassy. Shortly be-
fore o'clock the German legation
was struck by a shell.
There were numerous casualties
among non-combatants.

The democrat state convention
went through all it's deliberations, in
Lansing, in perfect harmony.
In the matter of resolutions, the con-
yention practically stood pat on its
declaration before the November cleo
ton, and Endorsed in every detail the
inaugural message of Gov. Ferris. The
party is on record as favoring the
short ballot. It goes exactly the same
length as the republicans in indorsing
the initiative and referendum and re-
call, stopping short Of the recall of
judges, and, where the republicans
contented Il mselves with declaring
in favor of change in the method of
selecting state central committees and
national committeeman, the democrats
come out fiatfootedly for direst cleo
ton Of these party officers by the peo-
pie.
The platform as adopted declares
for civil service, but opposes the re-
publican plan, now before the legisla-
ture, that would perpetuate the pres
ent republican state employees in their
places.
NO mention of national issues was
made in the platform, but the dele
gates left no doubt as TO their stand
between the two factions who are
threatening to war against each other
in Washington. Every mention of the
name of William Jennings Bryan, pro-
gressive leader, was cheered 10 the
echo, the applause for the commoner
far exceeding that accorded even
President Wilson.
Not a single contest for nomination
developed to the voting stage in the
convention. Alfred T.. Souter, of Shell
by, was nominated for regent of the
university, to oppose Frank II. Begole,
Of Marquette, but Souter's name was
withdrawn, as the roll call was stated.
Souter was nominated later as can
didate for member Of the state board
of agriculture.

At a special meeting OF the Taft
cabinet various dispatches from Mex
leo were considered and It was de-
cided that the information SO far re-
ceived afforded no basis for a change
in the policy of the government OF
the United States, already indicated
many times in the last two years.
The United States senate passed the
army appropriation bill. 1t carries an
expenditure of $94,500,000.
Hesltating almost to the very last
minute of the time allowed for action
on his part, President Taft vetoed the
Dillingham-Burnett bill to regulate the
immigration of aliens into the United
States, embodying a provision for a
rigid literacy test upon all foreigners
seeking TO enter the United States.
