PEACE OVERTURES

ARE BEING OFFERED Madero Characterized as a "Wine Bibber" and Not Regarded as Liberator of m m a m.m Mexico Quiet Monday. BULLETIN. (American News Service) Juarez, Mex., May 13. Telegraphic Inatructlona from Mexico City came to day to Carbajal from Mexico City to proceed Immediately with tho peace negotiations along lines proposed by -Rafael Hernandez, one of the inter mediaries between the Insurrectos and the federals. Hernandez's proposals were based on the conditions imposed by Madero. Peace Is believed to be fa sight.' (American News Service) Mexico City, May 15. Federal sol diers poured Into the capital today to defend It against a revolutionary at- . tack. More than 1,500 have arrived during the last twenty-four hours by troop trains from Cuernavaca and Morelos. Advices were received that the rebels were nearlng the city. Believing that the disruption of Ma dero's government Is only a matter of time. President Diaz and his advisers have decided to await developments at Juarez before proceeding with any general plan for the pacifying of the country. This decision was taken at a meet ing at which it had been decided to ' make several cabinet changes. When news came of . the trouble . between . Maiforn and frnmrtn n fiirtk. . was taken. Even the Maderists are downhearted and Sunday passed withgovernment. That Madero, the "wine bibber," as his own father calls him, had not the trnfrth nf harariAr (n ri.v.lnn lnn the savior of Mexico Is the opinion lowly gaining among those of the revolutionary putty. Unless such a leader does develop, the revolutionists may lose all they haver gained. DISCONTENT AMONG REBELS. El Paso, Tex., May 15. Though friendly relations have apparently been restored between Provisional President Madero and Gen. Orozco, his chief warrior, fires of discontent are till smouldering and threatening to burst Into flames at any moment. As result It was learned today that Orozco may refuse to lead the expedition going out to meet Col. Rabago and Oen. Luque who have joined forces. ' and according to Madero are marching gainst Juarez. Advisers of Orozco have told htm that Madero Is plannlg to get him out of the city and urged htm to wait until complete Information of the forward march of the federal forces Is received rather than the mere announcement from Madero that a courier haa brought him the information. Should Orozco refuse to leave the present week Is likely to see another great battle at Juarez with tho federals this time attacking and Madero defending his capital Rabago and Luque are plentifully supplied with machine guns and modern field artillery. When the latter withdrew from OJinawa he took with him all his cannon. Navarro a U. 8. Prisoner. When It became, known In Juarez that an attempt had been made to bribe Madero. the bitter feeling was revived against Gen. Navarro, the federal commander whom Madero carried to the river In his automobile and who warn the river to this city where he Is now under close guard at the home of storekeeper A. Schwartz. The protection accorded Navarro is so complete that he Is practically a prisoner on United States soil. No one Is allowed to see him and Mayor Kelly threw Gerald Brandon, a newspaper man Into a cell last night because he 'attempted to visit the general. Brandon had a note from Navarro requesting him to call, but this failed to Influence Kelly. Esqulval Obregon. the civil peace envoy who Is accused of having attempted to bribe Orozco, denies the charge, but In fear of his life. Is refraining from crossing the border. The amount said to have been offered Orozco la $100,000. Fear that some rabid insurrecto may cross the river and attempt to blow up Navarro and Obregon with bombs Is keeping the El Paso police on the alert.

rive in London to Attend Unveiling of Monument to Late Queen Victoria. KING GEORGE WILL APPEAR IN PUBLIC Impression He Would Be Pa raded Before Public Dur ing Three Months' Cere monies Is Erroneous. (American News Service). London. May 15. The presence of i the German emperor, empress and their daughter, Victoria Louise, whom rumor says is to be given in marriage to the Prince of Wales, at King George's dedication of the great Victoria Memorial and the opening of the festival of empire tomorrow, maks the beginning of the three months' reign of merry making with which the British empire will celebrate the cor onation of the king and queen in June incidentally putting millions of dol lars into the rapacious pockets of the British tradesmen, who, in anticipation of the enormous crowds of visitors. many thousands of whom are from the states, has been busily engaged in fur bishing up his wares not forgetting to add thereto a few shillings in honor of the ocasion. . Though the festival of empire, with its beautifully decorated Crystal Palace; its gigantic performances by the Imperial Orchestra twice daily, and the wonderful pageants with which it will be replete, will extend over a greater length of time the main feat ure of interest will be the unveiling of the great Victoria Memorial, which will occasion the king's first public appearance in an open procession in the streets of London. King Seldom Seen. The king's appearance in public deserves mention for it marks the passing "of -one ' of the few .opportunities vouchsafed the hundreds of thousands of visitors to actually see England's sovereign. This is contrary to the popular conception of the coronation festivities and one that has not been given wide dissemination by the tradesmen, steamship companies et al who will profit by the influx of curious millions. In fact the impression has been fostered by those who view the coming celebration from a monetary standpoint, that the king and queen would be on exhibition at so much per head, and all those who have the price may mingle with them in true democracy. Such is not the case. Except for the royal presence at : the dedication ceremonies and on four other occasions during the summer the throng of sight seers will have to content themselves with the provisions made for their entertainment by the committees in charge of the different functions. The dedication ceremonies will take place; near Buckingham Palace where the. great monument to the late queen will overtop the Mall and rear its stately proportions high in the air, crowned by a gigantic statue of Victory done jn bronze. A troop of the famous Life Guards will precede the open carriage of the king and queen. then will follow many more barouches bearing the prime minister, members of the cabinet, dukes, duchesses, mem bers of parliament, and in fact, almost every one of note In the empire. At the foot of the monument a great platform has been erected and it is here that the actual ceremonial attendant upon the dedication will take place. After the dedication ceremonies are over the royal family, together with their guests of honor, the kaiser, kaiserin and their daughter. Princess Victoria Louise, will repair to the palace where a dinner will be given in their honor. This will probably be followed by a royal entertainment which will include among its guests the many prominent Germans who make their home in London,' Including; of course the members of the German embassy. A Striking Structure.. The monument itself is one of the most striking structures ever undertaken by man,' and has consumed a period of building. commensurate with its magnitude." Nine ' years ago the scheme for this memorial to the late queen was set afoot by King Edward and Sir Ash ton Webb. A model was prepared, which included an addition to the new hall, a garden, new walls and gates, eta, and Brock, the famous sculptor was engaged to" build the whole. He set to -work with a will, gathered about him some of the most accomplished artisans In 'Europe and in a short time the scheme began to take form. First were assembled great pieces of Carrara marble which form the shaft of the monument, the approaches, retaining walls, balustrade and fountains. Next piece by piece the great affair was put together, carefully screened from prying public eyes by a huge and. unsightly scaffold of boards. Time-passed and in 1909 when the citizens of London had nearly forgotten that a such a structure was in the I Continued on Page fight)

The souvenir badges designed for the G. A. R. encampment this year are among the most attractive ever prepared . for a state encampment. They are rose gold in color, and the upper part bears a design which is the work of Miss Alice Locke, instructor of drawing in the local schools, show ing the "Panic Proof City" in the background and pioneer Quakers with a covered wagon and log cabin in the foreground. . It is symbolic of the progress of this city. iThe lower portion of the badge bears a likeness of the late Benjamin Slarr, who was at one time state commander of the G. A. R. and one of the most distinguished of Wayne county soldiers. The official G. A. R. and Sons of Veterans' badges are the same, except that the former is of oxidized copper and the latter, oxidized silver, and both bear the word "delegate" instead of. "souvenir." UP TO HURFY IF ORPHANS ATTEND State Board of -Health Has Been Consulted by G. A. R. Committees.' Upon the decision of Dr. J. N. Hurty secretary of the Indiana state board of health, as to whether the band and drill team of the Knightstown Soldiers and Sailors Orphans'-home, which is quarantined on account of measles, can be released for the G. A. R. encampment here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, depends the appearance of these two organizations on the en campment program. In conversation with Frank I. Braffett, chairman of the committee on music, on the telephone today, Dr. Hurty declared that there was no reason why the members of the band and drill team, who have not contracted the. disease, should not come here. Later Mr. Braffett called up Dr. J. Holloway, official physician of the home, who told ' him that the band and drill team could not be released from the quarantine. Mr. Braffett told him of Dr. Hurty's statement and Dr. Holloway replied that he would question the secretary of the state board of health and that if he received the same kind of an answer, the band and drill team 'would be released. Dr. T. Henry Davis, of this city, a member of the state board of health, also declared there 'would be no danger in having the band and team appear here. . . " . A meeting of the executive committee of the encampment was to be held this afternoon at which time all details of the encampment would be discussed and an effort made to have all matters ' definitely settled. In short, the purpose' of the meeting was to make arrangements to place everything in condition for the arrival . of the delegates and visitors Tuesday evening and on the opening day, Wed nesday. All preparations were , to be gone over to determine whether anything had been left undone. One of tbn matters to have been definitely settled was the course 1 for the pa rade which will take place Thursday immediately after noon. Gilman At Indianapolis.

Mitchell, Gompers and Mor

rison Not Properly Adjudged Guilty of Contempt in Buck Stove Case. GREAT VICTORY FOR AMERICAN LABORER In Labor Magazine Published Name of Complaining Company in List of "We Don't Patronize." (American News Service) ' Washington, . May 15. Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, will not be com pelled to' serve the jail sentence imposed by the lower courts according to the decision handed down by Judge Lamar today. The cases were dismiss ed on the ground that they were not properly adjudged contempt of court, but should have been damage suits against the labor leaders by the Buck Stove and Range Company. This Is the most sweeping victory for union labor in Its history in the United States. The defendants were not in the court room but -the news , was quickly conveyed to them at the American Federation headquarters where a large number of labor leaders had gathered in expectation that a ver- , diet would be handed down today and Gompers and Morrison received one of the greatest ovations of their lives. "The power of the courts to punish for contempt is sacred," .said Lamar in rendering a decision. "Without it the courts become merely boards of arbitration. Congress has conferred on the courts the power to -punish contempt with either a fine or Imprisonment, but very amplitude of this power is a warning to use it with discretion. Punitive contempt is to be punished with imprisonment where the defendant has refused to perform an act required by the court, such as . non-payment of alimony, but In this case there was no refusal to do an act required by the court ' "Punishment In punitive contempt is ' an act of coercion, by the court and the punishment should end when the defendant agrees to bow to the decree of the court in the civil case, and obviously right, the action should have been a suit for damages by the plain tiff. , , "'It appears that the plaintiff had no suit for damages, because the points of the. contention. In the main case were settled out of court, and It thereby becomes a meot case. But this contempt case grew out of the main case . and It therefore must now be regarded' as a moot case. "If the Bucks Stove and Range company has settled its differences with the American Federation ofa Labor, It can hardly claim tA have a valid contempt case against Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell, on the ground that the boycott was formed in violation of the court's order. To ine the defend : ants on account of the court's order, it would be necessary to show the amount of damages sustained by the . plaintiff. - 1 ' 4 If the plaintiffs claim that the boy cott was an act in restraint of trade, they 'should have sought relief by pre senting their case before the attorneygeneral and showing the violation' of the interstate commerce act. That the proceeding was not a criminal one Is shown by the fact that the defend ants were compelled to testify on the - stand. In true criminal proceedings -no man can be coerced Into testifying against himself. "The contention of the defendants have been three fold (1) They claim there ' was no intention of violating the law. (2) That there was no violation of an Injunction. (3) That the injunction was null and void because it abridged the liberty of the press guaranteed by the constitution.'' This last claim, however, may be dismissed. In the first instance the liberty of press applies to Individuals and not to organizations. These were the principal points emphasized by Lamar In ; bis decision which was quite lengthy, - -.' The case grew out of the publication of the name of the Bucks . Stove company in "the ' Federationists" in "We Don't Patronize" - list against which a temporary Injunction was issued. IThe . Federationists' continued to publish the same until the . Injunction was made permanent and the contempt' proceedings resulted. The decision of the court holds that inasmuch as the right of actios should have been a suit for damages by the plaintiff the main cases becomes moot and contempt cases therefore : most now be regarded as moot cases. ;': RED MEN CELEBRATE ' ST.
