El Paso, Tex., May 16. Peace In
Mexico today hinges upon the atti-
ude of Provisional President Fran-
isco Madero, according to Judge
'arbajal, peace representative of
'resident Diaz.
"The only thing," said Judge
'arbajal to the United Press today,

THE MATTER
AS LAWYER
VIEWS IT
"Referring to the interview with
you re the Bachelors' club of Wood-
lmrn, Oregon, last Thursday, at which
interview you insisted upon a signed
statement from the officers of the
club that no intoxicating liquors
would be dispensed in the club rooms
until the matter in controversy was
adjudicated by the courts, I beg to
say that after having taken the mat
ter under serious consideration, I
have advised the officers of the club
that they cannot accede to your re
quest. At the time of the interview
you had the assurance of myself as
one of counsel for the club that I had
advised the officers not to dispense
any liquors pending the litigation and
you had also the assurance of the
president of the club and of Mr. Fran
cis Foller, a prominent member of
the club, that no liquors had been
dispensed since the litigation was
commenced. Your request for a
signed statement to the above effect
upon first reflection seemed harmless,
but I stated to you that I would take
the matter under consideration, and
would advise you not later than this
date. I have come to the conclusion
that the signed statement would have
the effect of compromising our posi
tion in the suits now before the
courts, and would tend to humiliate
our clients and prejudice our success,
and consequently have advised my
clients to refrain from signing any
statement whatever about this mat
ter. "Referring to the news paper re
Ports about our position the above
as the only matter stated to the cor
respondent of the "Telegram" by Mr.
Moore and myself. What Mr. Moore
may have said since that interview I
am not prepared to say, but this was
11 upon my advice that he was au
thorized to say aa to the position of
the club. The newspaper reports did
Jot accurately state the substance of
the Interview between the correspon
dent and myself.
"Yours very truly,
"Thos. Brown."
, The foregoing letter was submitted
to Governor West yesterday after
noon by Mr. Brown, of Carson &
Brown, in response to a request by
the governor for a signed statement
om the club that it would not dis
pense intoxicatng liquors during Its

VICTORIES
itrary Stand of General Madero
the withdrawal of federal forces fnom
the state of Sonora, where millions
are invested In mining property, it
was believed here today that Presi
dent Daz would not ask the rebels to
amend their terms to any great ex
tent. Lieutenant Colonel Eduardo Hay,
chief of General Madero's staff and
a member of the rebel board of
strategy, has escaped from Chihua
hua, where he has been held a
prisoner since the battle of Caaa
Grandes. Hay went to Guerrero and
sent a message to Abram Gonzales.
News of his escape reached here to
day. San Diego, Cal., May 16. That
the Mexican liberal party, with head
quartersi In Los Angeles, is directing
the work of theebel forces in Lower
California or is at least closely allied
with them, was made evident today
when It was announced that Ricardo
Flores Wagon, of the Los Angeles I
junta, had been installed as collector
of suctoma at Tia Juana, .which was
captured by the rebels last week.
The announcement was made from
General Pryce's headquarters. A
manifesto which was issued today by
the Mexican liberal party here makes
it plain that the members of this
party hopes to establish what they
call a liberal republic In Lower Cali
fornia. All of those In Pryce's com
mand say they do not want Madero,
whom they regard as an aristocrat, to
succeed Diaz as president of Mexico.
There is much discussion here over
the possibility of Lower California
becoming part of the United States.
Some of the rebels declare they want
that to happen, if they are permitted
to enter the United States under a
constitution in line with their
principles.
To Investigate Steel Trust.

New York, May 16. Vitrolic de
nunciation of union labor In general
and of San Francisco unionists in
particular, with flat declaration that
he believed the destruction! of the
Los Angeles Times was the result of
a general plot of labor leaders, was
made here today at the convention of
the National Manufacturers' Associa
tion by President Kirby, of that or
ganization. "The American Federation of La
bor is engaged in open warfare on
Jesus Christ and his principles," said
Kirby, "and I challenge the federa
tion to disprove my assertions.
'This irresponsible federation has

GAME CALLED AT 3:30
the things these labor leaders claim
the right to do.
"I firmly believe the destruction of
the Los Angeles Times was the result
of accumulated! revengeNon the part
of the criminal labor leaders. This is
shown by the fact that nearly $200,-
000 has been raised by the leaders of
the American Federation of Labor to
prevent General Otis saving Loa An
geles from the type of unionism
which has made San Franclsoo smell
unto hell.
"I believe our constitutional guar
antees for the protection of life and
property are being made almost Inop
erative by the labor leaders. I de
mand that this manufacturers' organ
ization adopt resolutions favoring
uniform legislation against this labor
conspiracy. I believe every officer of
the American Federation of Labor,
from president down, intends the de
struction of our system of govern
ment. 'We have avoided the dangers of
the last congress, but there are dang
ers confronting us in the 62d con
gress, and we will be fortunate. If,
when that body's work Is finished, we
are npt confronted with much vicious
class legislation.
"I am relentllessly opposed to the
National Civic Federation, because it
is aligned with union leaderg who
make no efforts to clean out of their
ranks members who are determined
to kill and destroy all opposed to

A Gorgeous Affair,
There was no procession, because
the royal party had only to walk
through the palace gates Into the
Mall, and thpy were upon the scene
of the unveiling. The massed bands
of the guards played the British and
German national anthems while the
king and his guests were taking their
positions, and after a short religious
ceremony, conducted by the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, King George
pulled the cord which released the
canvas enshrouding the late queen's
statue, and amid the strain of "God
Save the King'' the troops came to a
salute. Detachments of the guards
and other regiments with which
I Queen Victoria was closely connected
were drawn up around the memorial
In a formation resembling the spokes
of a wheel and as the command was
given they marched around it, low
ering their standards as they passed
the central figure.
Public Could Not See.
Thousands of spectators were
packed, during the ceremony, at the
top of the Mall and at the bottom of
Constitution Hill, but as the space
immediately surrounding the memor
ial was completely occupied by the
royalties, their guests and the troops,
the general public saw very little of
the spectacle.
Thte memorial Is one of the hand
somest specimens of the Bculptor's art
In London. The huge base Is of Car
rara marble surrounded by marble
basins and fountain. The sides of
the pedestal and basins are panelled
In bronze, and bronze tritons and
mermaids serve for the fountain.
A Splendid Statue.
The dominating figure at the top
of the pedestal Is a 12-foot statue of
"Victory" standing on a globe, all in
glldVd bronze. The figure has Its
back to the palace and faces straight
down the Mai.. At Its feet are cor
responding figures of "Courage" and
" Constancy."
The principal feature of the me
morial Is Queen Victoria's statue
with Its back to the pedestal, also
faces down the Mall. It is 18 feet
long, and depicts the late queen seat
ed on her throne, crown on head) and
scepter and orb In each hand. On the
opposite of the pedestal facing the
palace is a symbolic gmip called
'Motherhood'' and to 'he right and
left are groups representing "Truth'
and "Justice."

TO COREY
SECRETARY HOLDS THAT "IF
THE OFFICE CAN HE RUN BY A
CHIEF CLERK WITHOUT A SEC
RETARY, IT CAN RE RUN BY
THE SECRETARY WITHOUT A
CHIEF CLERK."
That Secretary of State Olcott, In
stead of appointing a successor to H.
C. Corey, who recently succeeded in
severing himself from the position of
chief clerk, will wade Into the work
and do it himself, and save the state
the $3000 that is annually paid out
for a chief clerk, Is the prediction be
ing made today by close political ad
visers of the secretary.
For something like a year and a
half during the illness of the late Sec
retary of State Benson the secretary
of state's office was In. sole charge of
Chief Clerk Corey, who transacted
the business of the secretary as well
as discharged the duties of the office
of chief clerk. Secretary State
Olcott, say his friends, has expressed
himself as anxious of learning tne
details of the office In full and as
being of the opinion that If during
this time the duties of the office
could be discharged by a chief clerk
and without the secretary that there
is no reason existing now why the
duties should not be transacted by
the secretary and without a chief
clock and that as soon bb the time
is ripe that he will assume the duties
of both positions.
Haas Will Rrnnnin.
It can now be definitely stated that
Nicholas Haas, supply clerk in the
office of secretary of state, will re-
main, but Auditor Allison it is under

soon Is not known.

As predicted In yesterday's Journal
there was a real Senegamblan In the

janitor of the state house, and !t Is
probable that he will go Derore June

clined to discuss It and said he was
not ready yet to announce Rockwell's

Harlan Scores Court.
Washington, May 16. That all Is
not peaca and Joy In the supreme
court of the United tSates is clearly
seen here today, following the dra
matic delivery of Justice Harlan's sp
arate opinion In the Standard Oil case
Speaking before his wlfo, whose
eyes encouraged him from the front
seat of the court room during the
delivery of his opinion, Harlan bit
terly denounced his associates' action
In declarinff that restraint of trade
must be "unreasonable" to come
within the mbanlng of the Sherman
law. JuBtlce Harlan declared that
his fellows of the court hnd legis
lated, not Interpreted the law.
It Is well known that President
Taft's action ln elevating Justice
White to the chief Justiceship was a
severe blow to Harlan's pride, but un
til his Standard Oil opinion was de.
llvered It was not known how deeply
the slight had struck home. With his
wife silently applauding the Jurist In
his address, there was a little play of
tenBe heart Interest In the highest
court of the landi, such as probably Its
walla had never seen before.
London Newspaper Comment.
Pall Mall Gazette: "The decision
Is a fruitless victory for the opponents
of the money power. So far as the
consumer la concerned we da not ex
pect the decision will make a hair's
breadths difference, Moreover, it
marks the beginning, rather than the
end of the struggle."
Westminster Gazette: ."It will not
bo surprising If the trust condlnnes
as a loose federation. The difficulty
is that the state cannot compel the
companies to compete If they do not
wish to."
Globe: "The Government won
only e Phyrrlc victory. True, the
trust will be dissolved, but the gov
ernment's main argument ' held1 un
sound, namely, that all concerns mo
nopolizing the field are combinations
in restraint of trade. The decision
mainly favors the trust Idea. The
dissolution .of the Standard Oil com
pany will be more or less nominal."
New York Newspaper Cmnnent.
Sun: "The rights of property will
not be and cannot be affected."
World: "If corporations violating
the law may purge themselves by re
organization tfler illegality, their
practice established, and then pro

the Sherman act will ever be as a
