" Early toduy General Orozco called on Madero and the two men talk alone for aome time.

A throng of soldiers hud gathered outside the building and Madero determined to ap peal to them, Six-shooters had been drawn and rittea leveled, but Madern atood bravely before the crowd and alapping hia breaat, ahouted: "Shoot me, ahoot me, if you dare." lieiii-ra Orozco waa at hia aide.

FIERCE BATTLE IS FOUGHT. Rabela Control Most ot Juarez, But reaaraia Do Not Give Up El I'aao, Tex., May 10.- What was perhaps the fiercest buttle of the Mex ican revolution waa fought at Juurea, across the Itlo Grande. The rebels claim the town tonight, and actually control the more terri tory, but the poaltion of the Federal forcea la extremely well fortified. Tonight both Federals and Inaurg- ents are reating on their arms ready to resume at daybreak. At leaat five persons have been killed on tho American aidi f the line since the akirmiahing begun yeatcr- duy, and about IS wounded, while the loaa on the battlefield is variously estimated at from 30 to CO dead on both aides and about 75 to loo wound ed. Fifteen of the Insurrecto wounded already have been brought to the American side, but more are believed to be lying far within the town. General Navarro at 7 o'clock agreed to stop the firing while the insurrecto founded were being removed. The Federals have adequate medical facil Itiea and are caring for their wounded within the town. All duy long the battle raized, with the inaurrectos swarming through the streets of Juarez ami meeting the heavy fire of the federals with equally vigorous volleys of muaketry. 1 he rebels are scattered. In battle formation they probably could storm the Federul strongholds, as they appar ently consist of just six placea the barracks, the church, the theater, the school houae, a hotel and the cuatom houae. Hut the inaur rectos nuapect that a detachment of nearly 300 Fede rals with a machine gun is concealed somewhere in town and they are hesi tating to advance too cloae for fear of a rear or flank attack. Tho rebels forced the fighting Unlay in the face of a deadly fire from Fed eral machine guns. They dared not gather in too great numbers because the artillerymen of General Navarro many times demonstrated the accur acy of their range, while they shelled adobe houses behind which the insur rectos had sought protection a half mile from Juarez white skulking along the river front. General Navarro also is said to have mined most of the housea in Juarez, and the insurgents are nuturally reluctant to occupy any of them in force. Many feats of bravery on the part of tho insurrectos were plainly visible from the American side of the line and in street figting they more than held their own. The sun was hot and late in the day fire started by the insurrectos filled the streets with clouds of suffocating smoke. Tonight flaahes of light from the ruins gave the rebela an occasional view of the church where the Federals are cooied up, and the cracking of rifles followed each such glimpse. Later Fire threatena to wipe out the city of Juarez, and the rebels have renewed their attack upon the Feder als, who are still barricaded in churches, the custom house and other buildings. The Mexican Northwestern freight depot, the Mexican Central passenger depot and the city market place are burning. The whole town of Juarez seems to be in flames. Ked Cross physicians have returned from the inaurrecto stronghold, having been informed that the battle would lie renewed. Five physicians of this city have telegraphed President Taft Baking for an appropriation to estab- ah a K"d Cross hospitul for the inaur recto and Federal wounded soldiers. also to take care of iieople who have een hurt by bullets from the other siUe ol the international noroer. i Holy Land Thefts Denied.

Representa tive Stanton Warburton, of Washing ton, would put sugar on the free list, at the risk of utterly destroying the beet-sugar industry of the United Stutes. In fact Warburton would welcome the destruction of thia indus try if its maintenance is to cost the people of this country from $50,000, 000 to $110,000,000 in tarilT duties each year. All this he said in a speech which he delivered in the house of repreaentatives Friday. "Sugar in this country costs at least $1.90 a hundred pounds, the present tariff, more thun it would coat if we bought our sugar In the markets of the open world," declared Warburton. Ho pointed out that under the Mc kinley law the governmnt paid out bounties of approximately $9,000,000 a year to the producers of beet-sugar. The Wilson law repealed the bounty provision, and the duty ultimately was ifxed by the I'ayne-AIdrich bill at $1.90 per hundred. "Our sugar cost us during the four years the McKinley act was in force $36,000,000 more than it would have cost had we pur chased it in the open market. During the three yeara of the Wilson law it coat an extra $144,000,000 on account of the tariff, and under the Dingley and I'ayne-AIdrich laws, up to June 1, 1910, $1,444,718,53 more than if bought in open market free of duty. "What have the people of thia coun try to show for this enormous sum of money they have expended to promote the culture of beet sugar? In 18i)0 we raised cane'and augur beets aggre gating 306,000,000 pounds and con sumed 3,192,000,000 pounds. In 1910 we raised in this country 1,775,000,000 ponds and consumed 7,300,000,000 pounds, lty taxing the consumers of this country $1,600,000,000 from 1890 to 1910 we have increaaed the produc tion of sugar in thia country 1,400, 000,000 pounds; we have been able to foster the beet sugar industry in this country to the extent of increas ing our production one pound for every four pounds of our increased consump tion. Will any one contend that on this showing, even if we maintain our present enormous tariff, there is any hope or prospect of supplying our present home market with home grown sugar? On tho contrary, does it not show our utter failure to pro mote the sugar beet industry by thia frightful tariff? While our enor mously heavy tariff has failed wholly in the prime object for which it was created, it has succeeded in building up one of the geatest and most greedy monopolies that this country has ever known. "A brief study of the cost of production of sugar here and else where will show clearly that we can hope, even under the enormous tariff we now have, to produce but a small fraction of the amount we consume. The American farmers receive $5 per ton for their sugar beets at the plant. The owners of the factories say they cannot afford to pay more at the pre vailing price of sugar, bugar beets produced in this country averaged almut 250 pounds of sugar for each ton of beets. If a farmer received $5 per ton for hia beeta he received about $2.18 for ever 100 potential pounds of sugar in the beets. I "Heet sugar can be produced in Austria-Hungary for $1.85 per hundred and in Germany for $2. Two dollars per hundred is what England pays for her sugar and that is what we pay for the 4,000,000,000 pounds we import. Then we add to that the customs du ties, and we have 4 cents, the pre vailing market price in New York. If we remove the duty, instead of sugar retailing on the Pacific Coast for about 10 pounds for a dollar and retailing in New York for 16 to 20 pounds for a dollar, sugar would retail in the United Slates for about 40 pounds for the dollar. In fact, we can buy our sugar and do buy our sugar in the open markets of the world for a less amount of money than the farmers get for the potential augar in the beeta. The manufacturer of the augar beeta insists that, if he pays $5 per ton for beets, he cannot sell the manufactured augar for less than 4 cents per pound. Then, on what theory do we expect successfully and economically to produce sugar in this country from sugar beets?" Warburton said the farmer would not raise beeta and sell them at less than $5 per ton ; land will not depre ciate in value; labor will not be cheaper, and we can never hope to raise beets aa cheaply as they can be grown abroad. "We cannot econom ically make our own beet sugar when we can buy sugar abroad for the same price that the American farmer gets for his beets delivered at the sugar factory." Coal Land Indictments Quashed. Washington, May 13. The fight over probably the richest coal lands in the world was transferred today to the Supreme court of the United States, when the government docketed an appeal from the order of the fed eral court of Washington quashing the so-called "Stacey group" indictment. Judge Hanford quashed the indictment on the ground that, under his inter pretation of the laws of Alaska, the indictment had not stated an offense. Dam Sites Are Inspected. Washington, D. C Engineer! in charge of the Umatilla Irrigation pro ject report that all field work in con nection with tha proposed West ex tension will be completed by the end of Mar. Investigations at various dam sites indicate that with reason able economy tho structures can be built providing rights of way rae not xhorbitant. Washington, May 10. Two resolu tions for important investigations were agreed to by the house of repre sentatives today. ' A investigation of the Postoffice department, proposed by Saunders, of Virginia, to determine whether politi cal influences were operating in the department, whether the employea are discharged for political reasons and covering other features of postal oper ations was authorized by the adoption of one resolution. The other, that of Hardwlck, of Georgia, provides for a sweeping in vestigation of the American Sugar Refining company to determine what influence it has had or ia having on the prices of sugar or the control of competition. Representatives of the farming in terests of the country appeared today before the aenate finance committee to oppose the Canadian reciprocity bill. It was contended that the agree ment, unaccompanied by a free-list measure, was a direct blow at the farmer and without benefit to the con sumer. Representative La Follette today introduced bills appropriating $150,000 each for public buildings at Kllensburg and Wenatchee, Wash., where tho government now has Bites, and the same aum for a building and site at Colfax. Nine hours of continuous pounding by the Republican minority of the houae of representatives failed to make a change in the first Democratic tariff bill that placing on the free list agricultural implements, meats and many other articles. The bill passed the house by a vote of 236 to 109, the Democrats voting solidly and mustering 24 Republicans with them. This came after the Democrats had voted down or ruled out of order more than 100 amendments and had demon strated again that the Democratic majority was a compact land smoothly working machine for the eactment of legislation. Mann, the minority lead er, offered amendment after amend ment, but those that were not ruled out of order were cheerfully voted down by an almost solid Democratic vote. An attempt by Mann to recom mit the bill to the committee on ways and means was tabled. Washington, May 9. Farmers from the Canadian border states, supported by those from states farther removed, made protest today to the senate fin ance committee against the Canadian reciprocity bill. They were preceded by a delegation of manufacturers of book paper, who likewise objected to the bill. One witness today referred to the potash lands in Idaho. They have all been withdrawn from entry," said Heyburn, of that state. " I f they had not been, the trusts would have them gobbled up long be fore this time," flashed Senator La Follette. Heyburn retorted that the govern ment's course had the same effect as a trust, to which La Follette replied that the farmers did not object to that kind of a trust. Ex-Governor N. J. Bachelder, of New Hampshire, master of the Na tional Grange, denounced the bill as a violation of the pledge of the national platform of 190S to maintain protec tion to the country's industries equal to the difference in cost of production at home and abroad. "Are cattle, sheep and hogs, wheat. oats, butter, eggs and potatoes con trolled by trusts? asked Bachelder of the Democratic senators, as he re ferred to the Democratic platform. "If not, why put them on the free list, instead of on a revenue basis, as your platform demands?" Bachelder presented tables to show that articles used by the American farmer bore an average tariff tax of from 20 to 35 per cent more than that paid by the Canadian farmer. He concluded from this that the American farmer could not compete with the Canadian on an equal basis. Robert Eaton, master of the Illinois State Grange, and W. N. Giles, secretary for the New York State Grange, both warned congress not to discriminate against the farmers. "You'll hear from us farmers if you do," said Mr. Eaton. "Lower the tariff equally, if too high," said Mr. Giles, "but do not discriminate against the farmer. We are going to hold somebody responsible if this bill passes." "That will be the president, for he negotiated the treaty," suggested Senator Bailey. Squadron Beglna Cruise. Washington, May 11. Bound on a foreign cruise of international cour tesy, the second division of the Atlan tic fleet sailed today for the Baltic Sea. The battleships Minnesota, Ver mont and Massachusetts steamed from Hampton Roads, while the South Car olina, the fourth member of the di vision, sailed from New York. The Intinerary for the division includes stops at Copenhagen, Stockholm, Ra val and Kiel. Widows' Pension Asked. Washington, May 11. Pensions of $5,000 a year each for Francis Cleve land, widow of President Cleveland, and Mary Ixtrd Harriaion, widow of President Harriaion, are provided in a bill introduced in the aenate today by Senator Root. The bill was re ferred to the committee on penisona. FIRST SHAFT TO WASHINGTON'MAKES FOR ECONOMY Maryland Town Erected First Monu ment to the Father of His Country. Pnonaboro, Md.
