Rushlight had the indorsement of or

ported by those members of tradea

to get to the pells and vote. Two rea
sons stand out distinctly as the cause
for the defest of Gay Lombard. In
the first place the element' of voters
on which he had to rely, those who
supported him In bis contentions for
clean government and a change In the
personnel of the present City Council,
failed to go to the polls. The second
contributing cause was the action of
M. C. Ban field and other officers of
the Employers' Association in distrib
uting at the last minute circular let
ters and marked ballots intended to
aid II r. Lombard.
This movement did not stop with in
dorsing Mr. Lombard for Mayor, but
the sample ballots were marked as to
all other candidates for the various of.
flees to be nominated. The effect was
disastrous as to Mr. Lombard's chances.
At the last minute those candidates not
Indorsed by this organization, together
with their friends, who otherwise were
not unfriendly to Mr. Lombard, were
not only turned against his candidacy
but actively at the polls fought bis

Madero Says Diaz Has
Prevented Peace.
RESIGNATION NOT CONSIDERED
Impossible to Negotiate on
That Basis, Says Agent.
ATTACK ON JUAREZ NEAR
Armistice Is Declared Ended and
Madero Holds Dias Responsible,
Saying He Can't Be Trusted
to Carry Out Reforms.
EL PASO, Tex., May 6. The armistice
covering the Chihuahua district was
ended' all official communication be
tween the Mexican government and the
revolutionists was broken off today, and
tonight the lnsurrecto army under Gen
eral Francisco I. Madero, Jr, Is prepar
ing to pursue the revolution as vigor
ously as ever.
Juares will be the first point of at
tack, but the rebels probably will not
move for another 24 hours.
The "Inexplicable ambition of Presi
dent Diaz." who refused to accede to
the rebel demand that "he make public
announcement of his Intention to resign,
wss the expression by which General
Madero tonight epitomized the reasons
for the break.
Judge CarbaJal having notified ' Dr.
Vasques Gomes, head of the rebel peace
commission, today that It waa impossible
for him to continue the peace negotia
tions on the basis suggested by the
rebels, the rebel chief having refused
to extend the armistice, the following
statement was Issued by General Ma
dura denning his position:
Diaz Declared Responsible.
"Aa Is well' knowr. I invited the peo
ple of. Mexico to take up arms against
Diaz, when all legal means to bring
about the will of the people had been
exhausted. The war waa Inevitable and
indispensable, and already we have be
gun to see Its fruits. Inasmuch as the
principles which the revolutionists pro
claimed have been accepted by General
Diaz and the members of his cabinet.
"But that Is. not enough, for while
General Diaa Is In power all laws will
be a friction and all the promises ' tricks
of war. With that Idea and In order
to obtain peace in Mexico, I asked him
to make public the Intention which he
had manifested privately of resigning
from the government. In order that he
might not feel humiliated or have any
pretext to deny auch a request. I pro
posed that I also resign as provisional
president, even manifesting to him that
I would accept as president for the in
terim a member of his cabinet, who oc
cupied a post of much confidence and
who Is correspondingly able to All it
"It Is not possible for me to do more
for ra country .and. if the war con
tinues. It will be due solely to the In
explicable ambition of General Diaz.
He therefore will be alone responsible
before the civilized world and in his
tory for all the misery which the war
may csuse."
Carbajal's Answer Vague.
Though determined to pursue their
demands to the last ditch, the rebel
leaders tonight plainly showed their
disappointment t the outcome of the
day's events. They had thought that
some announcement from Diaz would
be forthcoming. " They were under the
Impression that the government had re
ceived from CarbaJal a copy of their
demands with regard to the resigna
tion of Diaz. The answer which Car
baJal gave them today, addressed to
Gomes, they found vague and Inade
quate and without explanation of that
point. Gomes bad earlier today asked
CarbaJal for an answer to the rebel
demands. His request follows:
"In view of the fact that the armle
tlce terminates today at 12 o'clock, and

ASCRIBED TO WOOD
Inevitable Is Word Quo

TAFT MAKES FORCIBLE DENIAL
Dissension in Cabinet About
Mexico Is Rumored.
KNOX' RESIGNATION NEAR?
Chagrin Caused by Remarks Attri
buted to Wood, Who Repudiates
Them Taft Will Put Issue Up
to Congress, if Seed Be.
WASHINGTON, May . Stories
printed today that General Leonard
Wood, Chief of Staff of the Army, at an
informal gathering of members of the
House committee on military affairs
Thursday, expressed the opinion that
intervention in Mexico will be Inevit
able and that It would take 200,000
American troops to patrol the troubled
republic, brought no little chagrin to
Administration circles.
Today's happenings brought out fresh
rumors that friction exists between the'
War and State Departments over the
handling of affairs connected with
the Mexican situation.
A department report also was per
sistent tonight that Secretary Knox's
resignation In the near future would
not cause surprise. No confirmation
was obtainable. A suggestion that
Knox might retire . from the 'state
portfolio was current, even before the
Mexican situation was sDrung.
Denials Most Emphatic
" Official ; denials that Intervention
would, come were issued from several
sources, and care was taken to ex
press anew the Administration's posi
tion that intervention is a most remote
possibility.
One of President Taft's callers to
day went so far os to quote blm as
saying that "blood would have to be
so deep in Mexico that a man" could
wade through it," before the American
Army would cross the border.
This has been reported to have been
the President's position throughout
Mexican troubles and again was gen
erally accepted as such. Members of
Congress were Inclined to the belief
the reported utterances of General
Wood were to be taken as that officer's
personal view.
Taft Is Firm as Rock.
The President is as "firm as a rock"
in his purpose to live up to the obliga
tions of neutrality, and even the killing
of Americans, provided it were an inci
dent of warfare, would not be regard
ed as sufficient ground for a single
American soldier to cross the Interna
tional boundary.
This statement was made today with
out reservation by the highest author
ity next to the President and undoubt
edly reflects the latter's policy. He
insists on absolutely technical adher
ence to the instructions already- given
to the American military commanders
on the border to keep their soldiers
north of the line.
Wood Denounces Story.
General Wood himself and Secretary
of War Dickinson were ' particularly
bitter in denouncing the circulation of
stories of intervention at this time,
saying they considered them calculated
to work infinite mischief and endanger
the lives of Americans in Mexico by in
flaming the natives and even to plunge
the two countries into war.
Through all of the conflicting reports
as to the American attitude there stood
out the fact that intervention in Mex
ico can come only through the action
of Congress. This fact served to main
tain placidity at the Capitol. The Presi
dent, conscious of the constitutional re;

SEATTLE. Wash., May . (Special.)
Rev. M. A. Matthews is the man who
brought Detective William J. Burns to
Seattle and put him to work on the
Investigation of the police department
which resulted in the calling of a grand
Jury which indicted ex-Chief of Police
Wappenstein and members of the so

Dr. Matthews, although in receipt of
a $6000 salary, had to realize the full
loan value of his Insurance policies, his
only negotiable securities, to pay the
heavy expenses of the detectives. He
had them at work as early as October.
He has Issued a statement to the pub
lic urging that the work, which has
been started, be carried on until every
corrupt official has been .punished.
So closely had th"e secret been guard
ed that Dr. Matthews' name had not
even been mentioned in the rumors
which continually swept the city con
cerning the forces behind Burns. J.
D. Farrell, head of the Harrlman in
terests, had been mentioned, as had
Laurence Colman, the millionaire insti
gator of the recall of Mayor Gill, and
an express company which had lost
heavily by a bullion robbery on an
Alaska steamer.
Dr. Matthews, who is the pastor of
the largest Presbyterian Church In the

heard him recently when he conducted

It is assur-ed that the reason an
