A plot dreply laid ia suspected by

Early toduy General Orozco called
on Madero and the two men talk

lilitirnl chiefa ruahed into the room
only to find themaelvee held bark by
tome of Orozco 'a men. A throng of
soldiers hud gathered outside the

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

BRIEF REPORT OF THE DAILY
WORK OF NATION'S LAWMAKERS
Washington, May 12. 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.

Popular Mechanics.
Little German Cakes.
Beat one dozen fresh eggs and three
pounds of pulverized sugar for 55 min
utes, then add as much soda as will
lay on the end of a knife and beat five
minutes longer. Be sure and dont
stop beating. Add flour enough to
knead. Bet It aside In a cool place,
lust so It doesnt freeze, until eve
ning. Then roll a little thicker than
pie1 crust. The Germans have little
fancy molds for these, but any amall
cookie cutter or baking powder can
ltd can be used to cut them with.
After they are all cut spread out on a
table and cover with a thick cloth and
let lay over night. In the morning
sprinkle baking pans with caraway
seeds and place cakes In pans on
seeds and bake In slow oven for three
quarters ot an hour. These are favor
ite little cakea among the Germans
and are excellent.
8trawberry Pie.
Make nice rich pie crust, put tha
bottom of the pan turned upside down
an table; put three or four fork holes
In the crust to keep from raising np
from the pan. Bake by itself. When
baked light brown take the crust,
turn on a plate, then the crust la
ready to fill Have ready one quart
fresh picked atrawberrlea, sweetened
to taste, fill the crust with the straw
berries, cover the top ot the berries
with the whites of two well-beaten
eggs, sweeten with sugar. Put in tha
oven Just long enough to light browa
tha whites of the eggs.
Rice Royale.
Pick over and wash a cupful of rice.
Drop Into a large kettle of boiling
water, add a half teaspoonful of aalt
and tableapoonful of sugar and keep
at a galloping boll until the grains
feel tender when rubbed between the
fingers. Drain thoroughly, pack light
ly In a slightly buttered mold and
let atand ten minutes In the open
oven. Turn out carefully on a deep
platter. Baste over this the syrup
from canned fruit (heated), arrange
the fruit Itself around the base and
terra either hot or cold.
Baked Batter Currant Pudding.
Thia pudding. If correctly made, It
both tasty and digestible. Take a
quarter of a pound of flour, tout
ounces of cleaned currants, three eggs,
and one cupful of milk, and make Into
a light batter, then add a teaspoonful
of baking powder and a pinch of salt
Pour Into a well-buttered pudding
dish, sprinkle in the currants, and
bake In a moderate oven for about one
hour. When baked, turn out the pud
ding and cut up. Serve with sugaf
or with golden syrup.
Mest Cakes.
Take cold meat, mince fine with fal
bacon, season with pepper and salt, '
mix well, fry and serve with gravyt
Fine with hot biscuits for breakfast.
