Taft and Knox Hopeful That
Madero Will Resign

Washington, Feb. 15.-President Taft
and Secretary. Knox at conference
We're hopeful that President Madero
would resign. Confidential adviees said
how strong the sentiment is through
out Mexico for peace. The adninistra-
ton officials have great confidence in
the ability of De La Barra, former am
bassador to the United States, who has
been suggested for the Office if Madero
abdicates.
President Taft and Senator Knox
talked over the mediation of the pro-
posal advanced by John Barrett of the
Pan American union, which brought
protests from the American colony.
1t is said neither President Taft nor
Senator Knox knew of the proposal be-
fore seeing newspapers. They feel the
proposal should have been submitted
to the secretary of state before being
made public. 1t is understood the de-
partment would not oppose some form
of arbitration, but is not willing to go
into the subject unless Mexico should
make such a request.
