Juarez, May 22. The Insurrectos chiefs today declare that if Diaz re y signs Juno 1 a conditional peace pact will become automatically perma nent. If Diaz falls to resign, the fighting will be resumed. The real test of Madero's strength with the people comes when he attempt to end fighting after Diaz resigns. Ma dero, senior. In dixcusslng this today said that it will take a long time to get the news abroad as the people are fearing that Diaz is working a trick and will continue fighting. Francisco Madero Is expected to leave Wednesday or Thursday for Mexico City. Madero Is Opposed. Los Angeles. The appointment of Madero as president of Mexico won't restore peace If the Los Angeles revo lutionary Junta can help it. Repre senting the Mexican liberal party which is conducting the revolution In Lower California, Sinaloa and South ern Mexico, members of the Junta today sent to tho printer a draft of the appeal to all members of the lib eral party and to socialists through out the world to aid in continuing the fighting. They assert that Madero is advancing himself politically and that the present revolt means simply a change of presidents but not the eco- 1 noinie liberty of tho people. The manifesto further declares that Madero Is n member of one of the richest families which owns ap proximately five million acres of lund. "That very fart constitutes him a mem her of the slave owning class," . It reads. "From the first the Mexican j liberal party's sole aim has been to economy the substitution of econom ic liberty for slavery. It will not lay down Its arms until the resources of Mexico have been restored to the people for their free and equal use." The manifesto is signed by General Flguero, commanding the rebels in southern Mexico. Leyva Iicnvo Oucniavaoa. Mexico City, May 22.

The first day of peace between the federals and m urrectos Is disquieting and filled with portents that further trouble Is not unlikely. Many telegrams were re ceived by Madero expressing com plaints of rebel leaders at proposed peace and It Is probable that Chi huahua will be occucupled In ordtr to satisfy the firebrands.

TRACK TEW SHOWS UP WELL High School Athletes Return From Willamette Valley After Big Meets WERE HANDICAPPED BX UN FORTUNATE CI KiCCM STANCES Made a Better Showing at Corvallls Than at Eugene Team Secures Only Eight PohitH Local Runners Wore Foulod (n tlio Relay Race The Pendleton high school track team has returned from the Willam ette valley, where it participated In two interscholastlc meets, and, al though the state championship was not won in either, the showing made a very creditable one and proves that the local school can develop athletes who can take points in meets any where. The record of the team at Corvallis Saturday was not as good ns that made at Eugene the previous week owing to a combination of unfortu nate circumstances. The Portland schools seemed determined to crowd Pendleton out of the running and In all events where the local boys were known to be strong, a full field was pitted against them and Jockeying and at deliberate fouling restorted. to, according to Coach Breithaupt. In the relay race, the team would have won as it did in Eugene if three of the four runners had not have been f' Uled during tho progress of the race. In the 100 yard dash, Captain Gordon finished second, according to all by standers, but the Judges e vidently overlooked him and he was not even given a place. The Pendleton team only secured eight points. Chapman taking five in the broadjump, Devlne tak.ng two in the shot and discus and Fee pick ing up the other in the high hurdles. Chapman's jump, which gave him first honors, was for 21 feet, which is a splend'd record for a high school man. Tee. r.ls , made the Vest jump of his life when he cleared the bar at 5 feet S inches, but it did not land him a place. Hoylen was out of con dition and the best he could do was to finish fourth In tho half mile. Washington high school of Port land won the meet, scoring 38 points. Vancouver high school was second with 14 points, and Columbia University and Salem tied for third place with 11 points. Cricqmore of Washington high won the cup awarded to the highest indi vidual point winner by winning the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, which game him 10 points.

Paris, May 22. France paid a ter rible toll yesterday for her magic en deavor to attain supremacy of the air, when a monoplane, the driver of which had lost control, plunged Into a group of cabinet members who had gathered to witness the start of the race from Paris to Madrid killing the minister of war and injuring the prime minister, his son and a well known sportsman. Prime Minister Monis and Minister Berteaux and party arrived at the avi ation field about 6 o'clock this morn ing shortly after Roland Garros, M. Beaumont and M. Gilbert had started in the race. The line of spectators bordering the flying field was being held rigid by soldiers, who, however, permitted the ministerial party and about 50 ether persons of distinction to walk across the field to where they could get a better view down the course and see the airmen as they rose from the starting point. While the great assemblage cheerj ed madly, the ministers saw Pierre Vedrins, who had been picked by many as the probable winner of the race, m unt easily from the ground 1 u nd head down the aerdrome, only suddenly to capsize and fall, but emerged unhurt from the wreckage or his machine. Aviator Train meanwhile had taken his position at the starting line, levers j i:i hand, and with M. Bonnier beside him. The breeze iK' l been .steadily freshening and the meteorological ob- .-.rvcr in tile Eiffel town- telephoned! that his gauge showed a velocitv of! close to 30 miles an hour. Train, however, left the ground. Ascending swiftly he circled the field, curving around to the starting line, and then flying down the course at 40 miles an hour, the machine rock ing in the wind. At this moment it was observed by the commandant of the troops that the crowds were breaking the line formation on one side of the field, and he dispatched a troup of cuiarrasses to get them back in order. The cuirassiers galloped across the field, breaking into double lines as they weot. Train's monoplane here swooped ti wards the earth under the impulse of an air flurry, and It appeared as though the aviator was about to dash Into the cavalry. The pilot's atten tion seemed momentarily diverted from his course, and he made a quick turn to the left, where the party of officials were standing. Then he lost control of the craft altogether, and it dashed violently into the ministerial group. The Impact knocked M. Berteaux ten feet away, where he lay In a pool of blood, badly mangled, while under the wreckage of the monoplane lay Prime Minister Monis, his son and M. Deutsch. Train and M. Bounier emerged from the wreck uninjured. A scene of frightful confusion fol lowed. From all parts of the field arose cries of alarm and dismay and tens of thousands of persons broke through the lines and moved toward the scene. The cavalry by repeated charges managed to clear the field and the Injured men were given first (Continued on page eight.)

We will erect the very best buildings possible with the 'money appropriated and we will try to ar range for a model Institution in every regard." PREDICTS RESIGNATION OF MORE CABINET MEMBERS Seattle, May 22. As the outcome of the reported plan of Taft to pla cate progressives, and through them capture the nomination in 112, Insur gents here today predict an early resignation of another member of the cabinet and appointment of progres sive in hispla?e. It is said the new man will either replace Knox, Mac Veagh or Nagle. LaFollette plainly shows that he does not like the turn of events and fears Taft's plan may result In failure of the republican progressive league to capture the 1912 convention. It Is even rumored that LaFollette may make the race Inde pendently if Taft Is renominated. 1 MANY CHINAMEN KILLED IN FIGHT WITH REBELS Eagle Pass ,Tex., May 22.
