Way?Meeting on Banks
of Rio Grande.
Kl Paso. Tex.. April L"3.?An armis?
tice of Ovo days! beginning at noon
to-day, and affecting the districts
around Juarez and Chihuahua and west
of the latter city, was made effective
to-day In an exchange of identical
letters signed by Genera! ,Francl3co 1.
Madero, for the rebels, and General
Juan Nav.'irro, for the government.
The truce provides that there shall
he no movement of troops of either i
side during the next live days, anil
that provisions and medicines may be
brought to either camp from the Amer?
ican side without payment of duty. It
is noted that OJInaga, whose small
Federal force Is besieged. Is not cov?
ered In the armistice, the insurretto
activities In that district being largely
Independent. H Is expected that In
the event of the settlement of tho re?
bellion In Chihuahua, the situation at
UJInaga and other scattered places
throughout the republic will receive
mention. The moral effect of cessa?
tion of hostilities in Chihuahua Is re?
garded as certain lo malte Settlements
in other parts of the country simple.
Actual XfiRollntluna.
Actual peace negotiations preceded
the armistice. It was known- that a
truce was agreeable to Madero. and a
telegram from the City of Mexico In?
formed General Madero that General
N'avarro had been Instructed by Presi?
dent Diaz to enter Into the pact.
The concessions which the govern?
ment Is willing to make have been
known for two weeks to General
Madero, ever since Trederleo Moye, a
business man of Chihuahua, visited
Deneral Madero at Ranoho Busllllos.
rhey were discussed at the meeting
to-day by the various leaders and
members of the peace mission. Those
present were:
Francisco, Madero, Sr., father of the
rebel leader; the lattcr's brothers. Al?
fonso, Gustavo and Raoul Madero;
Pa sou a! Orozco, the original field lead?
er of the revolution; Pancho Villa, for?
mer bandit, and present staunch sup?
porter of Madero; Gulzeppe Garabaldi,
and General and Senora Madero. The
last named is accounted n warm sup?
porter of taking Juarez and then talk?
ing peace.
it may ho rtated that General
Madero has the most authentic assur?
ances of a liberal attitude on the part
of the government. In fact, It may be
stated that President Diaz Is anxious
to adopt every measure which will
Insure the return of the revolutionary
forces to their farms and shops with
the feeling Hint the government at
Mexico City Is tho'r government, and
that every aid that tho government
can give them to repair the ravageB of
neglect Is theirs for the asking. Ho
wants no rancor to remain on either
side. The liberality of the President
on every point Intimately affecting
the daily lifo of tho people as shown
In the nssurances given General
Madero, exceeds the dreams of the
revolutionists themselves.
Term* of Armlatlce.
The leaders under Madero assured
the latter, as they have done before,
that any terms arranged by him would
be faithfully kept by them. When tho
conference adjourned a long telegram
was dispatched to the City of Mexico.
Presumably, It suggested details,
changes or additions In the outlined
plan which serves as a basis of dis?
cussion. The terms of the armistice
aro as follows:
1. Both forces, which operate in the
rectangle, formed by principal points
of Chihuahua. Juarez, Cases Grandes
and Mlnara. shall remain at the points
they actually occupy on this dato
(April 23) with neither side advancing,
nor tho forwarding of reinforcements.
2. All work on f ortlllcatlons,
trenches, battlements of any and all
description, or the repalrment of Tall
roads or other military works shall be
suspended.
3. It shall be permitted to bring In
by way of Juarez all provisions, for
ago, clothing, medicine and othor ne?
cessities of life, without payment of
duly. Intoxlcafng liquors are exclud?
ed from this provision.
4. This armistice shall remain In ef?
fect five clays, beginning to-day at 12
o'clock noon.
5. Passes to and from camp shall
bo granted to members of tho Madoro
family, peace commissioners, those
hauling supplies and others wnosc.
legitimate duties require their pass?
ages to and from camp. The form of
the pass shall be agreed upon.
Madero First to stun.
General Madero was the first to sign
tho armistice. lie placed it In the
hands of Oscar B.ranlff and Torlblo
Kqnlvel Obregron, who rode on their
. mission to Juarez. General Navnrro
then signed an idontlcal letter, with
which tho messengers returned to tho
rebel camp. Branlff Is a weal...y citi?
zen of too City of Moxlco and an ama?
teur sportsman and aviator. Obregron
Is a prominent lawyer of tho samo city.
Tho pcac.o meeting began In tho rear
of an ndobo house on tho banks of tho
Rio Grando across from tho smelter on
tho American side. Crowds of sight?
seers had crossed from tho American
side, and a gtiard wos thrown around
tho house and Its meagre, dusty
grounds to protect tho conferees.
Along tho rlvor for a mllo tho sol?
diers gathered, confronting- a long row

PLEA TO UNITARIANS
Toft Asks Them to Stand forth and
Aid the Faith.
Washington. April 23.?A plea to all
Unitarians to stand forth and aid the
faith and to provide In Washington
'"a principal church." to correspond
with the cathedrals of other denomina?
tions, was mado In remarks made by
President Taft to-day at the regular
servlco In All Souls' Unitarian Church,
of which ho Is a regular attendant. In
his address, mado from the platform
of the church. In the Interest of a
movement for a largo Unitarian edifice,
ho referred to the discussion of his
religious faith during his presidential
ca mpalgn.
The President said that to some peo?
ple It may not seem a necessary taslc
to have a church which should show
forth what Unltarlnulsm Is to the
country.
"Any one who has run for office,"
said he. "and has received telegrams
from various parts of the country say?
ing. 'It Is reported here that you are
a Unitarian; telegraph at onco to si?
lence this outrageous report.' will un?
derstand the necessity for showing
what Unltarlanlsm Is, and that It Is
progressive Christianity, Illustrating
and carrying forward as the supremo
Ideal the Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man."
BOTH QUIT PARIS

I Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Paris. April 23.?The romantic meet?
ing here of Alfred Yanderhllt and Mrs.
Margaret McKlrn. which It was be?
lieved would result In marriage, came
to a rather abrupt conclusion, as both
have quitted Paris. Vanderbllt said he
was returning to I-ondon. Mrs. McKtm
left presumably for P.erlln. So, If her
trip here was to seo Vanderbllt, It was
rewarded by only the 1 brief meeting
In his apartments at 121 Avenue Vic?
tor. Within an hour after the corre?
spondent of The Times-Dispatch called
at Vunderbllt's rooms he knew, de?
spite the precaution of himself and
Mrs. McKIm to keep the meeting from
the public, that It had been revealed
by cables from America. Servants were
surprised when Vanderbllt drey,- up In
the auto with Mrs. McK'm. The flat
had not been opened for years. They
hail another surprise when Vanderbllt
left as suddenly as he came.
DEFICIT WIPED OUT

Washington. April 23.?"A deficit In
the operation of the Post-Office Depart?
ment of J17.?00.000, Inherited by the
present administration of the postal
service, practically has been wiped
out." said Postmaster-General Hitch?
cock to-day. lie had Just received
from the auditor for the Post-Office
Department a final report showing that
the revenues for the first six months
of the current fiscal year aggregated
(1 is,573,817 and the expenditures $117,
?;i t.OSO.
"The wiping out In less than two
years of tho largest deficit in the hlsv
tory of the department," said Mr.
Hitchcock, "was accomplished not by
curtailing postal facilities, but by ex?
tending the service along protltable
llncF."
He believes that the current fiscal
year will show a surplus,
SHORT CALLS BY PREACHERS

Opportunities for Scandal.
Hlddeford, Maine, April 23.?Bishop
Thomas B. Ncely. of New Orleans, pre?
siding officer at the Maine Episcopal
Conference, now In session here, urged
the New Kngland pastors to keep a
jealous watch on their good name In
their communities.
"Don't let gossip get a chance at
you." he advised, In his opening ad?
dress. "Bo particularly careful that
your pastoral calls ore made In a man?
ner Irreproachable. Pastoral calls, par?
ticularly In small communities, have
too often given food for the gossips.
It Is no part of a preacher's work to
ring doorbells. Make your calls brief.
When you arc through discussing tho
particular branch of tho parish work
which brought you, your errand Is
I done. A long visit Is never nocessary."

South Bethlehem, Pn., April 23.?
Eleven thousand pounds Is the exact
weight of the largest crucible steel
Ingot ever cast In this country. It
was cast ycslerday at tho Bethlehem
Steel Works. The contents.of 120j>ots

entire operation was effected In ex?
actly fourteen and a half minutes.
When it is realized that all metnl

[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.]
Washington, April 23.?With peace
In tho camp of the Daughters of tho
American Revolution and all troubles
burled for the next year, Interest again
centres around the national lawmakers
on Capitol Hill and around the presi?
dential bee that has already begun
to hum and buzz In a tantalizing way.
The next six days will see the con- |
gresslonal probe begin to work, when j
tho operations of the various depart- j
ments will be gone Into and many state .
secrets laid bare. Not only this, but
the real business of electing a Demo?
cratic President will be seriously dis?
cussed by the members of Congress of
that party In cloak rooms and hotel
lobbies from now on.
Starts UoaMlp Going.
The Harmon boom, started here a
day or two ago. has been the means
of starting much Interesting gossip
along this line. To-day the ^ ashlng
ton Times says:
"News that Governor vVoodrow Wil?
son Is soon to set out on a "swing
around the circle for the purpose of
gettiiifc- better acquainted with the
West, and that among ou.er things,
he will go to Lincoln and be the guest
of William Jennings Bryan, has set
the tongues of politicians, Democrats
and Republicans, to working overtime.
(Jt course, they have all been expect?
ing that Governor Wilson sooner or
later would set out to light some Arcs j
under his candidacy for President, but i
now that he is about to do it, it has
started the political gossips to wag?
ging their heads wisely and thinking
out loud.
"It has caused tho more talk be?
cause Governor Judson Harmon and
his friends are getting extremely busy
In their efforts to stir up Harmon
enthusiasm, as evidenced by the meet?
ing of tho Democratic members of the
Ohio delegation in the olllco of Senator
Pomerene last weelf. The announce?
ment of the Wilson foray Into tho
West and the formal launching of the
Harmon boom have come about thu
same time.
"And then there is the case of
Speaker Champ Clark. Mr. Clark, in
a quiet way, Is giving his presidential
boom no little cultivation. He is some?
thing of a farmer and knows the ways
of agriculture. The Champ Clark
presidential boom was a pretty tender j
plant when It began to grow. Put ;
Champ Is watching over it, and never
misses a chance tu sprinkle a few
drops of the water of encouragement
over iL
Three Po??lbllltle?.
"As the situation stands now there
are Just throo men who seem to bo
possibilities for 1912?Harmon, Wilson
and Clark. True, Willlnm Jennings
Bryan Is like Theodore Roosevelt. So
long as he Is around in the vicinity,
and In good health and vigor, no na- '
tlonal convention can meet without i
being more or less likely to nominate
him. But leaving him out of consid?
eration, the nomination seems certain
to go to one of tho other three.
"Governor Harmon Is recognized as
the conservative candidate. If ho 1st
nominated It will be by the conserva- |
live wing of the party. The men who
named Alton B. Parker in 1904 will j
be largely instrumental In naming
Harmon if h? Is named. Tho weakness:
of Harmon Is that he seems to lack j
the capacity to draw the votes of the;
progressive wing of the Democratic
party, the Bryan wing. When the
Democratic National Convention 1* held
It will be insisted that if Harmon Is |
named the Bryan men will desert him. j
and that he will be stranded, as was
Parker.
"Speaker Champ Clark is in a posi?
tion of great advantage in some re?
spects. If the Democratic House]
makes a record that appeals to the j
county it will be a great asset to
Champ. Any good regiment of soldiers!
can mako >is colonel a brigadier, and !
on the same principle, the House may
promote Champ Into the White House.
On the other hand. If tho llouso Dem?
ocrats and the Democrats in Congress
ns a body are discredited it will 'go
hard with Mr. Clark.
Appeals to Hutu Wlngx.
"It Is going to bo strongly urged
In behalf of Wilson that while,Harmon
would not get tho progressive Demo?
cratic vote, and whlic Champ Clark
would be stronger with the Bryan or
progressive wing of the party than
with Iho conservative end of It, hol
(Wilson) will appeal to both wings.
He has mndo ti record as Governor of |
New Jersey that has appealed to pro?
gressives all over tho country, wheth?
er Democrats or Republicans.
"At the same tlmo, he has a stand?
ing with a large element of tho con?
servatives that Mr. Clark does not pos?
sess. As the man occupying a sort
of middle ground, ho Is likely to draw
much support from both elements of
tho party.
"Republicans as well as Democrats
will watch tho Journoy of Dr. Wilson
to tho West. Tlioy will do this, among
other reasons, because they understand
that If tho Republicans npmlnato Pres?
ident Taft and tho Democrats name
Judson Harmon, thero will bo many
progressives of both parlies who will
raise the cry that It Is tlmo for tho
Insurgents of both parties to botalto
thomselvos to U?.o woods and form a
now parly. P. H. iucO.

Paris, April 2?.?The sltviatlon In j
Morocco, whllo still serious. Is more |
hopeful. The French government to- i
day received advices that quiet pre- !
vailed at Fez April 15, the rebels ap- j
parently having been subdued by their j
defeat by Captain Brcrnond's column I
April 12, and that there has been little
activity since then.
Captain Brcmond, who Is In com?
mand of both the French division and
the forces of the Sultan, Is attempting
to reach Kez. llo has been heard from

the latest estimates thirty-two persons
were killed In the wreck of a passen?
ger train on tho Kowle Hallway, when
It plunged to destruction Into a gorge

The rescue work Involved heart?
rending experiences, and tho extrica?
tion of tho injured and dying from
the debris was accompanied by terrible
groans and cries.
One little girl had a miraculous es?
cape. She was caught in a fork of the
bridge and held by one foot over tho
ravine. The rescuers had to scale
girders to the height of 200 feet to
bring her down.
WHY HE HUGGED THE COURT
Two Drlnkn, Taken for n Chill, Explain
A way Charge of Contempt.
Mineola, I,. I., April 23.?Henry J.
Canning, of Jersey City, who, as ho en?
tered Surrogato .lohn J. Graham's court
two weeks ago. threw his arms about
the neck of tho surrogato and ex?
claimed: "Judge, I want a squaro deal
in this case," appeared to explain away
a charge of contempt.
Canning had his lawyer apologizo
to the court, and In doing so the law?
yer said that the Canning party had,
come out to Mineola In an automobile;
that Canning had been taken with
chills, and . had token a glass of
brandy, and later one of whiskey.
Hence his familiarity with the court.
"With a smile the surrogate accepted
the apology nnd purged Canning of
contempt, after delivering a short lec?
ture on upholding the dignity of the
court.
Canning camo hero to testify in a
contest over the will of his father.

CLOSELY DRAWN
-
Free List Bill Means Long and
Turbulent Debate in House
and Final Vote Partisan.
Struggle in Senate Pre?
vents Getting Down to
Real Work. J
- I
Washington. April L'3.?The first at - ;
tack of the Dcmocrntlc House of Rep- !
rcsentatlves upon the schedules of tho '
l'ayne-Aldrlch tariff law will begin |
to-morrow. With tho Canadian cecl- '?
proclty bill disposed of, as far as tho j
House Is concerned, the lines of battle !
are being drawn over tho bill Intro- j
duced by Chairman Underwood, of tho |
Wuys and Cleans Committee, and ap- j
proved by the Democratic caucus, plac- i
Ing on tho freo list many manufact- j
ured articles calculated to be of benefit I
to the farmers of the country.
That the bill will pass the House
Is unquestioned, but there will be a
turbulent and prolonged debate, and
the division of tho final vote will be
far different from the vote on the reci?
procity b'U. Republican leaders declare
that at least three-fourths of the
sixty-seven Republicans who voted
with the Democratic majority for tho
reciprocity bill will bo found this Unto
standing valiantly by tho minority and
the Republican protective policy.
Cloudy I'nrtlnnn.
The Democratic leaders themselves
admit that upon the free list bill the
alignment w'll be closely partisan, and
they expect that the discussion will
contlnuo for a week at least, and pos?
sibly two weeks. Then thero will be
a long lull In tariff revision activity
In the House, and before any more
tariff bills are submitted tho lower
branch of Congress undoubtedly will
bo marking time and adjourning from
time to time waiting the report of tho
Ways and Means Committee on tho re?
vised textilo schedules. The commit?
tee's real work on the revision of tho
wool and cotton schedules will not be
undertaken until the farmers' free list
bill has been passed.
After these schedules are prepared
there will be a caucus of the Demo?
cratic majority, and tho bills wilt bo
reported to the Houso as the caucus
directs. That action probably cannot
come for three weeks.
"This extra session," said Demo?
cratic Deader Underwood to-day, "is
to be essentially a tariff revision ses?
sion. Wo have pnssed the reciprocity
bill and next week will take up tho
free list bill, calling It up Monday as
soon as some appropriation matters are
disposed of. There will be a milcago j
bill, some correction bills and then |
the debate on tho freo list will bo '
taken up. As wo handled the reel- ;
proclty bill, so will we this one. Tho [
outlook is that tho freo list bill will
take up more of tho time of the House i
than did the reciprocity bill."
The reapportlonmont bill is almost;
certain to be called up next Wednes- 1
day In an effort to pass It, but opposl- j
tlon may delay tho final vote. Tho,
New Mexico-Arizona statehood bill also
Is on tho calendar. Rosldos theso two !
measures the program Includes llttlo
of Importance except tho tariff. The
Democrats will resume tho free list;
discussion Thursday.
"Wo do not know yet what tho re- ]
vised wool schedule or cotton schedule ,
will bo," said Mr. Underwood- "Infor- ?
matlon now being assembled for cTTe;
uso of tho committee will be ready i
when tho commlttoo gets tlmo to de?
vote to this work after disposition
of the freo list.
More Sweeping L>n(cr.
"I know that by revising the pro?
hibitive schedules wo will opon tho
market to enough new material to
more than compensate our revenues j
for tho revised duties. The tariff re- |
visions we will propose at this time,
will bo steps In the right direction, but;
will not bo as sweeping as tho Demo- 1
cratlc party ultimately will seek to j
have enacted Into low.
"Tho free list bill will cut off about !
110,000,000 revenue, but $'.',000,000 of j
that is compensated for in the reel-I
proclty liill, and we can see now where
wo will savo to the government moi'e;
than the other $S.000.000 through econ-|
omlzlng In government departments,
which work is to be taken up at once j
by the House Commlttoo on Expendi?
tures."
In tho .Senato the deadlock between j
the Regulars and Insurgents over com- j
mltt.eo assignments continues, and that
body is unable to proceed with the |
reciprocity bill. Negotiations to com?
plete llio organization will bo resumed
Tuesday, and it is almost certain tho
Senato cannot got down to practical
work for at least another week. When :
it meets to-morrow adjournment until!
Thursday Is expcclcd.

told them that he bad been In the
navy, and was tired of his Job, was
out of work, a good fellow and would
show them all over New York. To
this proposition they grnciously con?
sented. The ta.xlcob bills ran upward
of $25 In n Jiffy, according to Munally.
They then took their guest to a thea?
tre, whero ho was treated to tho best
seat and other things after the show
that went to make up for the lost time
that the two Southerners realized was
tagging them because of their past
year's experience In a very dry State.
After all this und some more had hap?
pened the three went to the Hotel
Taft.
Their guost, who said his name was
Kreil C. Prosnalt, went up to spend
the night with the North Carolinians.
Grief followed their llrst nap. When
they awoke, Presnalt was gono and
their hank roll and pistols were miss?
ing. This not Presnalt left behind:
"To My Dear Friends,?I am sorry I
had to trim you. I express my regrets
to you both. I need tho guns also; so
I will take them along. Hoping to re?
main yours, I am 'X.'.'
Through the kindness of a physician
living at the hotel, who said that ho
was a. Southornor himself, credit fSr
tho further stay of tho Southerners
was advanced. He also called up police
headquarters, and Detective Bauor
schmldt. of tho West Thirtieth Pollco
Station, camo over immediately, -..e
detective said that he hoped to make
an arrest. Tho name on tho register
corresponded with that In tho govern?
ment papers, he Bald, and the suspoct
might bo traced through Washington.
Ills description was given as that of a
young man, apparently Irish, light hair
and eyes, speaking in a brogue and
wearing a dark suit, a turndown collar
and a white tie.

closure of the details of the confession
at this tlmo would make them almost
Impossible. ?
"While here the men under arrest
were never In communication with
each other, and neither knew that hi"
companion was a prisoner In the same*
house-. They were questioned luces-1
snntly, and finally a confession was)

Taking No Chances.
Los Angeles, Cal.. April 23.?On sep?
arate trains and hidden away In locked
Pullman, compartments under tho sur
vcilldnaa of armed guards, John J.
McNamnra, secretary of the Interna^
tlonal Structural Iron Workers' Asso?
ciation, and his alleged confederates,
James McNnmara and Ortle McManlglo,
aro being hurried horo to answer to
tho charge of having- dynamited tho
Los Angeles Times building 'October,
1, 1910, and causing tho doath of twen?
ty-one men. By what routes they aro
being brought is a secret. When they,
will nrrivo is also unknown.
The police here and tho detectives
who brought about tho arrests aro
taking no chances. Elaborato precaui
tlons are said to have been taken to
prevent an attempt at rescue. Chief
of Police Sebastian said to-day bo
feared publicity regarding the move?
ments of tho prlsonors might result
In more dynamiting-, and the loss ofi
lives and railroad property.
Secrecy also is regarded as neces?
sary to avoid legal complications. At
Labor Temple, Los Angeles Union
headquarters, there wore bitter denun?
ciations of tho way in which tho Mo
Namara brothers and McManlglo hn?d
been arrested, but these came oTtly
from the rank and flic.

Every mnn in the Labor Tomplo
agreed tho arrest of the Iron workers'
official and his two alleged accom?
plices had brought to a climax tha
long labor bnttlo In Los Angeles, and
though preparations admittedly wero
being made for tho defense of tha
prisoners. It was maintained that no
technicalities would be interposed to
prevent an early trial.
It Is not known how many Indlct
| ments the McNnmaras nnd McManlglo
will have "to face, but It Is regarded
as probable that more arrests are to
come.
Chief of Police Sebastian said to-day,
that tho State's case would stand with-j
out need of seeking to persuade any.
of tho prisoners to turn Mate's ovl^
