Delegates Will All Reach There Not Later Than Sunday, But
It Is Expected Negotiations Will Drag, Necessitating an
Extension of the Armistice--This Will Give Diaz Time to

UNITED rtlSS LEASED WIBB.J
El Paso, Texas, April 26. Dr.
Vasciuez Gomez, head of ' the Mexican
revolutionary Junta In Washington,
will arrive here Saturday, and the
Diaz envoys from Mexico City on Sat.
urday or Sunday to negotiate for
peace. This will necessitate an ex
tension of the armistice. The nego
tiations probably will be held in
Juarez.
"Everything is satisfactory," said
Francisco Madero today, "and there
is no reason why permanent peace
should not be in sight. Much, how
ever, depends on the attitude of the
federals, and the good faith shown
by them. I wish you would tell the
newspapers that neither General nor
Colonel Villa is a bandit. I do not
pretend to military leadership of the
revolution, but am merely a military
adviser."
Many adherents of Madero here
suspect that the Diaz government is

San Diego, Cal., April 26. Ac
cording to reports brought here today
General Berthold's band of Mexican
rebels at Alamo attacked the Bab
cock ranch, between Alamo and En
sVnada, last Sunday and took 20
horses, six saddles and a quantity of
provisions.
Lack of communication in that
neighborhood prevents regular news
of the insurgents' movements, and the
citizens of Tla Juana and Ensenada
are alarmed, fearing an attack, al
though the two towns are about 100
miles apart.
Another report of Berthold's death
was received today from a priest who
returned to Tia Juana from Alamo
yesterday. He says he confessed Ber
thold, and reports that Berthold died
of wounds he received In a skirmish
in Lower California.

Edward Tilden, President of the

Tliat, as tlie Senate Can Grant Im

. Springfield, 111., April 26. Declar
ing that the Lorlmer investigators
order directing him to produce his
books In the attempt to trace the
$100,000 fund he is alleged to have
raised to elect Lorlmer to the United
States is unwarrantable and an at
tempt at seizure; Edward Tilden,
persident of the National Packing
company, today resisted arraignment
for contempt of the state senate.
The contempt resulted from Tll
den's refusal to produce the records
of his financial transactions covering
the period of that legislative cam
paign resulting In Ixrlmer's election
and also as a result of sworn testi
mony that Edward Hines of Chicago,
alleged solicitor for the' "slush fund"
has told those he asked to contribute
to "send it to Ed Tilden."
When Tildens case came before the
state senate today his attorneys as
serted that the demands for Tllden's
books were unwarranted interfer
ence with the rights of their client.
Opposing this plea, J. J. Healey,
counsel for the senate committee,
took the floor of the senate to ex
plain the committee's attitude. He
declared that both by the statutes
and the terms of the senate resolu
tion the committee was empowered
to summon witnesses and demand
their attendance. He said the com
mittee was also authorized to offer
immunity, and hence that evidence
tending to Incriminate cannot be
withheld. Healey quoted numerous
legal opinions in support of Ills po
sition. Great interest was manifested In
the contest of legal minds as to Tll
den's position and the galleries of
the senate were packed to the doors
while the arguments proceeded.
