DIAZ TO RESIGN BEFORE LONG Cabinet Offices and Gover norships Given Rebels. NEW ELECTION TO BE HELD Rebel Make Concession In Choice or Officials and Carhajal la Confident Government Will Accept Terms, Made. JUAREZ. Mex.. May 16. Peace, the fervent hope of rebellion-torn Mexico, tonight Is almost an accomplished fact. Judge Carbajal, the federal peace en voy, has announced that, barring the unforeseen, a general armistice will be declared within 2 hours. Provisional President Francisco I. Madero, Jr.. has declared that mutually acceptable propositions have at laat been reached and peace is assured. The formal signing of a'peace agree ment will probably take place here within the next two days. President Diaz probably will resign within two or three months, at any rate when peace Is completely restored. The principal questlona alone have been practically agreed upon tha number of Cabinet members and Governors to be allowed the lnsurrectos but the other condi tions have for some time been tacitly determined by both sides, and now It will be merely a matter of technical de tail to draft them successfully and ar range a modus operandi for the dis charge of their provisions. Price Paid for Peace. The price of peace paid by the fed eral government Is three Cabinet po sitions and 14 Governorships. The price paid by the Mexican people Is at least 1000 lives, untold suffering to other thousands of wounded, the destruction of millions In property and tha proba bility that starvation for many months will haunt tha Inhabitants of posalbly a fourth of tha republic The Cabinet portfolios. It la said, probably will be filled as follows: Min ister of War, General Gonzales Salsz: Minister of Justice, Senor Vasques Tagle: Minister of Gubernaclon. Dr. Francisco Vasques Gomez. So far as the Governorships ars con cerned, tha lnsurrectos have practically decided on their men for the largest and most Important of tha states as follows: Chihuahua. Abram Gonzales: Sonora, Senor Cayon; Slnaloa. Manuel Bonllla: Yucatan. Jose Pino Juarez: Za- ratecas. Guadalupe Gonzales; Coahulla, Venuatlano Carranza. Salaa Serves Under Diaz. In the selection of General Gonzales Salas for tho post of minister of war and Senor Vasques Tagle for minister of justice, the rebels have choaen two men who have not taken any active part In the revolution.

(Spe cial.) A movement ts on foot by prom inent citizens of Sandy to have the town Incorporated. A representative of the Sandy Commercial Club was in this city Tuesday Interviewing lawyere relative to tha procedure to be fol lowed. It Is aald that petitions asking for tha Incorporation of Sandy will be presented to the County Court In a few weeks. For several months Sandy Is s&ld to have been beyond the control of the authorities. The Constable, while an efficient officer, lives three miles from the town. There ars three saloons in Sandy and men come In from the camps of the Mount Hood Railway Company occasionally and virtually take posses sion. A party of men went to Sandy sev eral weeks ago and began raising a dis turbance. Several deputies are eaid to have been sworn In to quell the riot. A free-for-all flirht resulted, and some of the deputies were arrested for vio lating tho laws they were sworn to enforce. 'LIGHT OF SPOILS REASON DEC Of. ManyChagrined'byDic turn on Trusts. TAFT QUOTED IN OPPOSITION No Such Thing as Good and Bad Trusts, He Said. SOME WOULD AMEND LAW Judge Harlan's Refusal to Join in Usurping Legislative Power. Democratic Leaders Outspok en In Criticising Court. WASHINGTON", May 16. Govern mental Washington legislative, execu tlve and Judicial gave over tha great er part of today to a discussion of the Supreme Court disposition of tho Standard Oil case. While there was gratification in Administration circles over the order for the dissolution of the corporation, which haa been de clared "an unreasonable" combination and monopoly in restraint of trade. there unquestionably was misgiving as to Uie interpretation of the anti-trust law giving to courts the right to deter mine whether a monopoly was "reason able" and declaring a "reasonable" mo nopoly not to be in contravention of the statute. .President Tart, who, a little more than a year ago, in a special message to Congress, said that under Supreme Court precedents there could be no such things as "reasonable" and un reasonable" restraints of trade, or in other words, "good trusts" and "bad trusts," was said to have been rather disappointed that the court should have seen lit to reverse Itself in this Important matter. Hitrlan Kefnaes to Usnrp. The President's message was freely quoted about the capital and the seem ing similarity of his views as to the scope of the anti-trust law to the view expressed by Associate Justice Harlan in his dissenting opinion yesterday at tracted renewed attention to Justice Harlan's position as outlined In his statement to the court, following the handing down of the majority opinion by Chief Justice White. Justice Harlan held that his brother judges had no right to usurp the func tions of the legislative branch cf the Government by writing into the stat ute a differentiation between "reason able" and "unreasonable." He de clared Congress had resisted all appeals to amend the act and that there was every reason to believe such an amend ment never could be put through the legislative branch. In these circumstances and In their extremity, great aggregations of wealth applied to the court In an effort to have It construe the law In a way that would be a flat reversal of what It had held on two previous occasions. Justice Har lan declined to be a party to such a reversal and hence his dissenting opin ion. He denounced as "the most alarm ing tendency of the day," the tendency to judicial legislation. .

Railroad Agent Declines to Sell Fuel and Fields Xear Can't Be Touched Plight Reported. CORDOVA, Alaska, May IS. Her coal bunkers all but empty and the nearest coaling station, Sitka, 1000 miles away, the United States cruiser Buffalo was re fused fuel today by General Agent Barry of the Copper River &. Northwestern Railroad. Seemingly adding Irony to the cruiser' plight, the great Bering River coal fields are situated only 30 miles from the war ship's anchorage, but the coal cannot be touched until the Supreme Court give Its decision next Fall. Private individ uals claim title to these fields.' Captain Stone, commander of the cruiser, made application for part of th cargo of the steamer Edith, which is discharging 3000 tons of Canadian coal for the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad, but General Agent Barry, of the railroad, refused to sell any coal to the Buffalo, giving as a reason the fact that the railroad had cabled rush orders for this coal, having learned of Impending labor troubles In the mines at Xanaimo. Captain Stone, greatly surprised, made inquiry concerning the amount of coal at Valdez and Seward, and found the supply there meager. The nearest large coal pile Is at Sitka, 1000 miles dis'tant. and the cruiser, It is said, has not ccal enough for power to steam to that port Captain Stone has reported his plight to tne -Navy Department. It Is expected the Government will send a collier from tho Puget Sound Navy-Yard to Cordova with fuel for the Buffalo. The Buffalo left San Francisco -several weeks ago to establish wireless tele graph stations In Alaska. She encount erea vexatious storms and when she arrived here today after fulfilling her mission her coal bunkers, that have capacity of 1375 tons, were almost empty. SCULPTOR SUES JOHNSON Jury Orders Pugilist to Pay $1000 to Artist for Bust. NEW YORK, May 16. (Special.) The umollgrit which follows Jack Johnson, pugilist, was transferred today to -the county court-house where Johnson ap peared as defendant in a suit by Car- tiano Sclarino. sculptor, to collect J4000 for a bust of the fighter which Johnson would not pay for. The Jury brought in a verdict of J1000 for plaintiff. John son testified that it was never intended that he should pay for bust and said 'H6 said he was trying to make living and it would help him If I would pose. He said he would sell the bust to the National Museum In London make a lot of busts and sell them, giv ing mo Z5 per cent of what he made. When he got through. I told him 1 thought the bust was no good; it had no hair on it and didn't look like me." WOOL CLIP BRINGS CASH Optimistic Idaho Report Causes Restoration of Confidence. BOISE, Idaho, May 16. (Special.) From $3,000,000 to J5.000.000 will be brought to Southern Idaho within 30 days from the sale of the wool clip in the East, according to the statement of Thomas C. Stanford, of Carey, one of the largest sheepowners of the state and former president of the Idaho Woolgrowers' Association. Tho announcement of Mr. Stanford, made In Boise tonight, resulted in caus ing a general feeling of optimism among woolgrowers here, who had been doubtful over the wool outlook. Tho money returned from the wool clip will relieve the financial strin gency now admitted to exist in South- rn Idaho, for it will have general cir culation through the banks. AEROTAXIS ARE LATEST Lucerne, Switzerland, Will Be First City to Get Service. NEW YORK, May 18. The first aero taxi will be put into service In a week or two at Lucerne. Switzerland, accord ing to advices received by the Aero Club. A French company is the builder of the novel machine which is a bi plane, fitted with a "wind mill", taxi meter. Passengers will be carried on short cross-country flights at a fixed rate per kilometer. Enthusiasts calculate that the aero taxi will ultimately become a far cheaper conveyance than the street taxlcab, owing to the bee-line route it will be able to follow in the air, where, furthermore there probably will be no trouble from congested traffic for some time to come. NORWEGIAN TO CELEBRATE Portland Natives of Scandinavian Country Will Snow Patriotism.

Vice-Consul Cederbergb will deliver the address of welcome. The Norwegian singing society will furnish the music, in addition to a piano solo by Arthur van Jessen and a vocal solo by Miss Rose Robinson. own oi TO SUFFRAGE Expected Battle in Con vention Is Tame. FEDERATION DELEGATES TIED Preliminary Skirmishes haust Two Factions. Ex- SUFFRAGISTS IN MAJORITY Inasmuch as Acts of California Or ganization Are Suggestive, Not Mandatory, Harmony Follows Adoption of Resolution. LONG BEACH, Cal., May 16. (Spe cial.) The principle of equal suffrage was Indorsed today at this place by the California Stats Federation of Women's Clubs at the final session of the tenth annual convention. By a large majority, the following resolu tion was passed: "Whereas, there is an amendment to the constitution of the State of Cali fornia extending the franchise to wom en, to be submitted to the voters of the state; and, whereas, "The California Federation of Wom en's Clubs Is vitally interested In all questions relating to the social, indus trial and political status of women; ba it "Resolved, that the state convention of the California Federation of Wom en's Clubs, Indorse the principle of equal suffrage." There Is Little Excitement. Contrary to expectation, the measure rassed with comparatively little ex. cltement, which, however, was due en tlrely to exhaustion, all available emo tion having been expended at previous considerations of the question. It was toward the end of the closing session that the report of the resolu tions committee brought the chairman, Mrs. W. W. Orcutt, to the platform and caused the convention to catch its breath In anticipation of the final struggle. Mrs. Orcutt began the for mality of reading the resolutions In si lence that grew more painful as every problem of this life and the next was given due consideration, with that con cerning suffrage reserved for the last. With an exquisitely feminine appre ciation of the eternal fitness of things, the resolution which was to start hos tilities between two opposing factions waa Immediately preceded by one ex pressing tho convention's desire to in dorse the peace movement of the world, and to urge upon Its members Individ-, ual co-operation in aiding and abetting such movement. Mrs. Orcutt Agitated. After the subsiding of the gentle ap plause which greeted this onward and upward milestone, Mrs. Orcutt becama visibly agitated. At the conclusion of the presentation of the suffrage reso lution by Mrs. Orcutt and the announce ment by the president that the matter was open for discussion, the minutes of the convention assumed -a rapid gait with which the president and parliament tarlan were obliged to keep pace in or. der to remind the speakers to whom they were speaking. As to what they were speaking about, there was never any question, the women participating In tha discussion making convincing arguments on both sides. After a nnmber of impassioned; speeches pro and con had been made, calls for the question stopped further argument, and an attempt to take tho vote by ballot being instantly defeated, the cause was won by an unmlstakeabla superiority in the volume of "ayes," la epite of a desperate attempt at noise on the part of the "noes." Harmony Xow Prevails. Concerning the result of the suffrage; issue, absolute harmony prevails between opposing factions, because of the femi nine subtlety that provided for a satis factory adjustment through passage of the amendment making acta of the con. ventiBn merely suggestive and not man. datory and thereby leaving clubs free. to follow their own political convictions. Admirable work upon the part of tha resolutions committee and the exerclss rare tact and Judgment upon tha part of the president of the convention averted what promised to be a veritable battle and demonstrated that women a're becoming adepts in parliamentary af fairs.
