Barre Knows Nothing of Peace
Conference to Be Held Between
Himself, Linantour and the Madero
Family as Reported.
TRUSTS TO GOOD SENSE
OF PEOPLE FOR PEACE
Hitch in Plans of Insurcctos Suspect
ed Dr. Gomez is Said to Be
Opposed to Move.
SAN ANTONIO, Toxns, March 30
Denying tlmt he knew anything
about a peace conference to be held
between himself, Minister Jose Yves
Liinnntour nml the Madero family
former Ambassador do la Hurra ar
rived here -today and, accompanied
by Mexican Consul Ornelus, at once
started southward. No members of
the Madero family met de la Hurra
here.
Before leaving for the south de la
Barm made a statement lauding the
friendship of the United States for
Mexico and denying at length that
any arrangements hnd been mnde i'oi
a conference with the Maderos.
"I know nothing of nny such
peace move," he said, "but I trust the
good sense of the people to end the
struggle. I am going to Mexico City.
1 do not expect to meet Minister Li
mantour at Monterey or to attend
nny pence conference in Chihuahua."
' A hitch in the peace plans of the
insurreetos is suspected here through
reports that Dr. Gomez, the rebel
ngent in Washington, is opposed tc
the Maderos' conduct of the negotia
tions, he declaring that the elder Ma
dero is but a lukewarm insurgent.
Juan Aazcona, secretary of the
Washington junta, is en route to San
Antonio today to confer with Gus
tavo Madero and it is roported that
the two, with Francisco Madero, jun
ior, the rebel provisional president,
will be tio rebel envoys when a peace
conference finally is held.
Alfonso Madero issued the follow
ing statement:
"There- is a mistaken notion re
garding the part played by my fathei
and by myself. We cannot make
peace that rests with my brothoi
Francisco and his soldiers. M
father and Senor Liinnntour met in
New York and decided to attempt ,o
bring about peace. My father made
his domnnds conditional upon Fran
cisco's acceptance. What the de
mands were I am not in a position to
state.
"Liinnntour presented the demands
to Dins, who has accepted them. My
father is now communicating with
Francisco near Chihuahua regarding
the proposals.
"Neither my father nor myself will
enter Mexico except on snfo con
duct by the Diaz government. We
expect Francisco's answer within a
week. Ho will present the pence pro
posals to his chiefs and soldiers. f
accepted he will appoint a peuco coin
mission to meet n commission named
by Diaz upon neutral ground. The
meeting will not he held at Chihua
hua." FACEJAIN ST.

Savants of French Academy of

PARIS, March 30. Men with big
feet can take comfort in the fact that
tho big foot indicntcs an equally ab
normal growth of brain, and that
large pedal extremities and genius
go hand in hand, as nearly as feet

The savants of (ho Paris Academy
of Science have discovered this to
bo tho truth and today they attest
tho discovery with their signatures,
accompanied by letters that show the
degrees of their erudition.
The same indications of genius np
ply to women also. They laid their
tape on the feet of 100 women, oud
only 18 showed that they wore a
shoe larger than size 4, but each ot
the women with big feel has dis
tinguished herself by some achieve
ment in the fields of science, art or

lar Train Service From Medford,
According to Announcement by
Chief Engineer Gcrig.
EXCURSION WILL BE
RUN SUNDAY, APRIL 9
Train From Falls Will Arrive Here
at 10 a. m. and Will Leave in
Late Afternoon.
The firs! passenger train to reach
Butto Falls will pull into tho little
city among the timber on next Sat

tho residents of Medford and the
Hoguo river valley have watched for
six long years. Chief Engineer Go
rig announced this morning that
there would bo no hitch in the plans
of tho road to institute a regular
train on Saturday.
It was in 1905 thnt tho residents
of the city of Medford determined
thnt a railroad should be built to
Butto Falls to tap the huge timbci
tracts in that section. Tho Medford
and Crater Lake railroad was or
ganized. Money wns subscribed, by
local people. The road was built "on
the top of tho ground" between Mod
ford and Eagle Point, 12 miles dis
tant. Then came trouble. The road
was thrown into a receiver's hands
in 1007 when tho Oregon Trust A
Savings bank of Portland failed
Then tho road lay dormant for some
lime until it was finally sold to John
H. A41cu of New York who disposed
of it to James J. Hill. Work wh
immediately started on its construc
tion and it reached Butte Falls last
fall, but rains camo boforo the road
bed had a chance to settle and made
tho rond beyond Eagle Point unsafe
for travel. So no train service wns
instituted until workmen this spring
put the track in shape. The first
passenger train is to leave Med foul
Saturday.
Tho Pacific & Eastern is to bt
extended across tho Cascades to r.
connection with the Oregon Trunk.
According to present plans wljich
hnve been announced by Hill offi
cials Medford is the terminal of the
Oregon Trunk.
Chief Engineer Gerig has, an
nounced the no wtime table which is
to bo placed in effect. The train will
lenvo Medford daily at about 3

tliero nt 7 o'clock in the morning
reaching Medford at 10. Then the
train will double back as far as Ea
gle Point nnd bo back in Medford
in timo for tho trip in theafternoon
to the Falls. This timo will allow
the Butto Falls people to como to
Medford and spend tho day shopping
and return home tho same day.
The time of the train will also
prove a great bon to local business
men this summer. Butto Fulls has
long been a favorite enmping ground.
Families can nbw camp in tho woods
during the summer and the business
men can leave Medford at 3 o'clock
on Saturday afternoon, spend Sun
