MEXICO CITY, Feb. 14. The res
ignation of Francisco I. Madero from
the Presidenecy is believed to be in
the hands of the Mexican Mtnisters.
It was .authoritatively declared that
Madero had agreed to resign if the
Senate so wished. The Senate was
called into session about 8 o'clock
tonight to take action on this impor
tant phase of the situation.
At the British legation, where Sen
or De la Barra took refuge Thursday,
it was said that Maderos resignation
practically had been arranged for, and
that De la Barra probably would suc
ceed him in the Presidency today.
Later, Senor De la Barra, while pro
ceeding through the streets in an au
tomobile, stopped and made a brief
address, assuring the crowds that a
peace settlement was certain and
probably would be reached before
morning. De la Barra seemed to be
in consultation with both Madero and
Diaz regarding a quick settlement in
order to- avoid intervention.
At 6 o'clock tonight General Huer
ta, the federal cobmmander, gave the
order to cease firing. Soon detach
ments of federals were seen marching
from their positions to the govern
ment base near the palace, their guns
slung on their backs.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 Dispatch
es from Ambassador Wilson today
say Americans are not in haste to
flee the danger zone in Mexico City,
even when they have the opportunity.
Foreigners have determined to re
main to watch the fighting although
Mr. Wilson reports that at every in
terval between engagements he has
sent notes through the city to bring
all noncombattants into the neighbor

AMENDMENT PROVIDING FOR SEV

DIM IS SARCASTIC IN ATTACK
Governor, it Is Believed, Will Sign
Measure Joseph Forced '

to Give His Sup- -
port
SALEM, Feb. 14., (Special.) Find
ing there was no chance to have his
favorable report of the Schuebel tern
hour bill adopted, Senator Dimick put
his shoulder behind the Smith amend
ment and succeeded after a hard fight
in having it adopted in place of the
majority report. The measure r.ow
goes on third reading with nineteen
votes expressed in its favor in the
adoption of the Smith report. The
Smith amendment provides for a ten
hour day seven days in the week. For
more than ten hours double time must
be paid. The fight in the Senate oc
cupied most of the morning. First
the Dimick report was killed by a
large majority. Then the Smith
amendment was taken up and the
Oregon City man threw all his forces
behind that report. At times he grew
bitter in his appeals to the Senators
to support the substitute.
"Just imagine that you are legislat
ing for dumb brutes", he cried. If
you were you would do this thing we
ask in a minute with a clear con
science. Joseph, of Portland, was one ofihe
nineteen who voted with Dimick. lie
and Dimick have always been bitter
enemies on the floor of the Senate.
The Oregon City Senator, however,
produced a copy of the progressive
platform wLch declared in favor of
an eight-hour day, and forced Joseph
to agree with him.
To all intention the bill is now
passed unless later developments in
fiuence the votes of some of the Sen
ators. Nineten uf them have declar
ed for the ten-hour day, and the votes
should remain the same on final pas
sage of the bill. Little doubt is en
tertained but the Gorernor will sign
it.

Fairs
SALEM, Feb. 14., (Special.) Schue
bel's bill taking from the Fish and
Game Commission authority over fish
ing at the Willamette Falls passed
the House after a hard fight today by
a bare majority. As the Clackamas
representative described it, it was a
fight between the commercial fisaar
men of Oregon City and the Portland
Rod and Gun Club.
For the purpose of amending the
bill the House went into" committee of
the whole, and Olson of Portland of
fered an amendment to strike out ike
worus "North of the Falls on the
Willamette, and West of the Cascade
Locks on the Columbia.". In otber
words, he wanted to pull the teeth
out of the bill.
On final roll call the Schuebel bill
received 34 votes and will get into
the Senate in time. That body has
refused to accept any House bills sent
to it later than midnight on Satur
day. As a result a great mny of the

ALBRIGHT FIGHTS DISCRIMINATION
Councilman Insists That Clubs Must
Be Closed Too and That La
borers Have Rights Same
as Rich
Declaring that the finished parts
of Monroe Street are not in a con
dition so that the city can accept
them, the city council Friday night
accepted the report of the City Engi
neer, Charles Noble, per G. C. Yale,
assistant City Engineer. In his re
port of the City Engineer states that
portions of the street had not been
rolled properly and that the macadam
was in a loose and unbound condi
tion. He also stated that there was
a mistake in the estimate of rock,
1ut on this there seemed to be some
difference of opinion. The cost - of
sidewalks was also larger than it
should have been, he said.
The matter of closing poolrooms of
the city on Sunday and raising the
age limit from 18 to 21 years of age
was brought before the council in the
form of a new ordinance to govern
such places after some discussion and
was laid on the table until the first
regular meeting in March. Council

CHARMING HOSTESS
M(ss Eva Moulton and Charles R.
Moulton entertained in a very pretty
I manner with a Valentine party at
j their beautiful bungalow at Fern
I Ridge Thursday evening. The decora
I tions were very appropriate, consist
j ing of red hearts and potted ferns.
The evening was spent in games, ail
I being new and unique. Prizes in the
I various contests were awarded to
Garland Hollowell, Archie Ross and
j William Burns. The Gladstone Male
I Quartet favored with several selec-
tions. The quartet is composed of
' Thomas Burke, Garland and Homer
Hollowell and Archie Ross. Several
musical selections were rendered by
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Burke and Leo

SALEM, Feb. 14. (Special.) Gov
ernor West and Frank Perkins, a re
porter of a Portland evening paper,
came to blows in the state house to
night, and physical injury to one or
the other was averted only by the in
tervention of several legislators. Al
though the men grappled and went to
the floor fighting like wildcats, neither
was injured when bystanders pulled
them apart. Antagonism between the
two has existed for some time be
cause of articles in the newspaper
which is a political enemy of the chief
executive. Perkins had just entered
the building and stopped to talk to
Senator Bean of Eugene. The Gov
ernor came out of an office, and, hear
ing sofething the reporter said, ask
ed if the remark was addressed to
him. The reporter answered in the
negative, and before the bystanders
knew it the two were at each other's
throats, cursing, -kicking and strik
ing. They went to the floor, the chief
executive on top. Then friends null
ed them apart and kept them at a
safe distauce. The Governor would
make no statement tonight.
