The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-02-16

The senate and the chamber Of depu-
ties have been in special session today,
and as result both houses decided to
intervene toward the immediate cessa-
ton Of hostilities.
The senate sent delegation to In
terview Madero, but the president re-
fused to see them. They then saw
Dinz, who refused to treat on any
other basis than the Immediate resig-
nation of Madero.
The deputies en- masse then proceeded
to the national palace and standing in
tho square before it, reiterated their
demands for an immediate audience
with Madero. The president again re-
fused to hear them, and they continued
their mass meeting i'll the streets
lhnranguing the populace to the effect
that American intervention was inev1-
table unless Madero resigned. Immense
crowds gathered, and were addressed
in this wise by senators, deputies and
even by Minister Lascuerain, former
Mexican ambassador to Washington,
and now secretary OF foreign affairs in
the Madero cabinet. The correspond
ent of the International News Service
was present, and rose up to interrupt
the populace TO remember its hatred OF
Americans.

Bank in the Embassy.

More than 1000 Americans were
moved today from the places where
the danger was greatest to the imme-
date vicinity OF the American en-"
bassy.
In one room of the embassy bank
ing house has been opened by ID: a;
DeLima, president Of the local Bank OF
Commerce md Industry. The impromP-
tu bank was organized for the assist
ance Of Americans, who, though per
fectly solvent, have been unable 10
secure money owing to the closing OF
all the city baHks. Mr.. DeLima is
a New Yorker and was formerly presl..
dent Of the Battery Park National
bank
Up to this time several wealthy
refugees had been in absolute want
owing to the impossibility OF securing
cash, and many others were unable to
purchase railroad tickets to leave Mexi-
co, ns no checks are received by the
company.
Ten automobiles, over which flow
American flags as well RS the white
emblem Of peace, have been busy in
the transportation OF Americans from
the danger zone. Numerous Mexican
families of the better class who live
in the American colony have asked for
and been granted the same privileges
us are enjoyed by foreigners who arc
under the protection Of the American
flag.

FIGHT RATE CHANGE
Make Effort to Show Losses
to the Interstate Com

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-To demon
strate to the Interstate commerce COM
mission the, effect of the reduced rates
it PROPOSES, the express companies have
reported that had the proposed rates
been in effect on October %, a test. day
selected, the reductions in their reve-
nue. would have ranged from 4,96 to
BOG per cent.
The days receipts for the Adams

23.6 per cent; the American, $19,s24 or
"a. .26 per cent; the Southern, $970S, OF
3c.6 per cent; the United States, $1O,-
4le or 1913 per cent, and the Wells
Fargo, $1e,s32 or 25.2 per cent.
These five companies assert that the
application of the reductions would
have resulted in total loss of $24,.
996, ,047.25 in their business for the
year ended June 30, 1912, Equivalent
to al operating deficit of 5.42 cents for
every dollar of gross transportation

shows & reoucrlOn OF lo-VI per cent

based on the business Of the last fis

17.3 per cent, which would leave iti

fact that it operates under rates fixed

Wilson's Wise Proposal.

ambassador Wilson, who is indefa-
tigable in his attempts to correct the
situation, is attempting to convince all
factions that firing should cease at
certain hours, in order that non-com-
batants may move to places of safety
and countrymen may bring in sup
plies.
Neither side appears willing to do
this, as each fears that the other may
take advantage of such truces to move
forces and batteries to more advanta-
geous positions.
Each side claims that the other has
repeatedly made fraudulent and trait
orous use Of white and red cross flags
and threatens to cease respecting these
emblems-

their attention from the firing Mt the

national palace, whose 400~years-old
walls Of solid masonry, ten feet thick,
still bravely stand, but whose facade
ornamentation has totally disappeared.

was formerly Mexico's boast and pride,
has been totally ruined by the flying
shells and there is hardly church

a TEXICo CITY, Feb. 15.-The
WU city, despite the storm Of bull
V9 lets that sweep its streets, is
in unwonted activity. AS the
federals change the location Of their
batteries, the danger points shift and
the streets are filled with jostHng
masses of safety seekers carrying bun

Innumerable scenes of pillage occur
and are scarcely noticed, so great Is
the pre-occupation Of the inhabitants,
who are willing to lose their all if their
lives be spared.
Several times rebels and federals
have mistaken these scurrying masses
for advancing enemies and have
opened fire on them, causing countless
deaths.
The American ambassador has
adopted the position Of protector Of
foreigners, and under his guidance, diff

WILSON CHIEF PROTECTOR
OF FOREIGNERS IN MEXICO
Correspondent of Tribune Stops Senator Who Is
Inflaming Popu1ace Against Americans

Ia Bnrra for the purpose Of treating
with General Enrique Mondragon, who
is Diaz's artillery chief and adviser
Angeles and Mondragon are bitter
personal enemies.
De la Barra is now confning his
energies toward persuading the SEN
ate, of which he is member, to take
decisive action toward forcing Madero
to resign.
The senate has published and cir
culated a manifesto showing that the
autonomy Of Mexico in this crisis de-
pends upon the resignation Of presi-
dent who has 80 plainly shown his
incapacity for restoring peace and
properly protecting foreigners and
Mexicans.

Terms of Proposal.

ambassador Wilson's proposal was
that an armistice OF twenty-four hours
should be arranged so that foreigners
might have an adequate opportunity
to mako their way to places Of safety.
Tho proposal also included sugges-
ton that the American embassy and
its neighborhood be established as a
neutral zone, into which those foreign
crs seeking protection might 40 IL
they desired.
The negotiations proceeded rapidly.
Generals Huerta and Diaz agreed to
suspend hostilities until II p. NJ. so
that the negotiations might be COM
pleted.

The cabinet meeting broke up just
after 1890 a. nj. Secretary Knox IN
nounced that Secretary Hilles would
prepare and make public the only
statement to be given out. Other
members Of the cabinet referred all
ipouirers to Mr.. Hilles. His statement
was as follows:
At meeting OF the cabinet to-
night, various dispatches from
Mexico were considered, and it was
decided that the information so
far received afforded no basis for
a change In the policy Of the gov
ernment of the United States, al
ready indicated many times in the
last two years,
It was practically determined that
no further communication would go to
President Madero at this time.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-02-16
Proposal Agreed Upon.

The ambassadors proposal was
accepted and then began the delimi-
tation OF the neutral zone. The work
was completed, before IL p. m. At
that hour the firing recommended, but
it lacked spirit, and it will cease al
together at o'clock il the terms OF
the armistice are respected by the bel
hgerents.
While the federal guns pounded the
Diaz Notifications in the arsenal and
the rebels sent back she'll for shell, the
senate sat today and discussed the
ousting Of Madero from the presidency.
Confident Of ultimately defeating
Diaz, Madero defied the senate and ig-
nored the counsel of Francisco de la
Barra and other friends. He refused
to resign, but did not take the troubla
to make known his decision personally
to the senate.

STATE FAIR FIGURES
ARE VERY PLEASING

When the 1913 state fair books were
closed yesterday by the board, it was
found that, besides canceling $1,000
loan and paying off some of, the old
debts that were incurred in holding the
fair in 1912 during an unfortunate
week of inclement weather, the state
fair finances are in better standing at
the present time than they have ever
been before for many years. The books
show that there is balance left from
the 1918 session amounting to $42S6.46.
With these encouraging figures on
the gain side Of the cash book, Oregon 8
largest annual show promises to grow
with rapid strides in the future.
A fine 100000 brick structure for
the grounds is being planned at the
present time by State Architect Knigh-
ton. This structure will take the place
of the old pavilion, and will be an addi-
tion to the general appearance and ser
vice at the fair grounds, which has been
sadly needed for the past ten years.
The building will be ready for the 1914
fair. .F ss
