Cabinet Promptly Arrested.
All members of the cablnot we"

exception of Ernesto Madero, the un
cle of Thepresident, who held the port
folio of finance. He was apprised of
the Intentions against the Madero gov
ernment and made his escape.
The secret move against Madero was
tho result of a plot which had been
brewing since yesterday.
From the first It had been known
that General Ulanquct was unwilling
to fight. Ills men were of tho same
mind. He held complote emmand of
them, and It was not doubted they
would follow him In any adventurue,
which they did nt tho national palaco
tills afternoon.
Reserves Are Sent Away.
The forces, numbering 1000 men,
which arrived late yesterday were Bent
Immediately to tho palace, ostensibly
to relieve tho reserves there. The
reserves were sent Into tho field,
An agreement between Generals
Blanquet and Huerta was reported lat
night, but the first Intimation that
Blanquet's men had of the now role

livered a stirring speech.
"This Inhuman battle must end," he
said. "The time has come when some
drastic means must be taken to stop a
conflict in which father Is killing son
and brother Is fighting against broth

tho fate of war and all this because
of the caprice of one man."

Berkeley, Cat, Feb. 19. J. Stltt Wll
boii, SoclalUt mayor of Berkeley, re
fused today! to be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, and gives as his reason
a lengthy statement, In which he de
clares that during his terra of two
years he was handicapped by a hostile
council, and that all his plans for so
cial betterment had been frowned upon.
"Everything that I stand for as a
Socialist," said Wilson, "Is a matter
of indifference wlien actually opposed
by a majority of the council, and If I
were to be re-elected and found my
self without a majority, I would feel
compelled to resign, I would not In
any circumstances consent to put In
another two years In the simple rou
tine of the mayor's office In a nilnorl-
.' n'.i-i-' ii -v 'fo'-'iiiiuf program
subordinated." , ' ",'
Wilson says that the greater reason
for declining the nomination Is that he
feels himself nominated to a higher
office., to fill a great world-need dur
ing tho years of the Panama-Pacific
exposition,
"At the present time," he continued,
"I have a large and increasing audi
ence in San Francisco. This will ho
made the nuclous of a great plan of
world-wide significance for the world's

will be built and a platform estab

New York, Feb. 19 By accepting
arbitration under the Erdman act, the
Eastern railroads last night averted
a strike of firemen on 54 roads. Three
men under the law, w'll decide the
firemen's claims, and their decision
will be binding.
' The railroads, In giving way, reit
erated their opposition to the Erd
man act, and declared that their only
reason for yielding was that the pub
lic would not tolerate a strike. W. W.
Atterbury, vice-president and general
manager ot the Pennsylvania lines
East, was chosen, as the railroad's
representative.
The firemen themselves admit the
defects of the Erdman act, and, while
the present dispute will be settled un
der the existing law, the firemen's
president, W. S. Carter, will meet af
terward with tho heads of other rail
way labor organizations and represen
tatives of the railroads to request con
gress to affiefftl'the law tn certain re
spects.
The question to come before tho ar
bitrators Is principally one of wages.
The firemen ask for an Increase de
pending upon the size of the locomo
tlbes, giving them a wage varying
from $2.55 to $1 a hundred miles.
Thoy also ask for two firemen on the
heavier locomotives.
Tho railroads have already cx
presed a willingness to raise wages,
but not to the maximum demanded.
To grant this, they assert, would cost
$12,000,000 a year.
According to Albert Phillips, repre
sentative of tho firemen on the arbi
tration board, the arbitration pro
ceedings will bo held In this city.
They will be open to tho public. Mr.
Phillips said ho nnd Mr. Atterbury
probably would meet for the first time
on Thursday.

BY LITTLE DAUGHTER
UNITED PnEHS MURED WI1IE.1
Gervaln, Or., Feb. 19. Mrs. W. R.
Modo, nged 45, and the mother of five
children, was accidentally shot nnd
killed today by her ton-yenr-old
daughter.
Tho child had picked up the loaded
revolver from a tuble and waa holding
It In her hands when It was discharg
ed, the bullet striking Mrs. Mode In
the abdomen,
Slio also leaves a husband, and
mother, who lives In southern Oregon,
When the house, late last night,
passed the compromise state highway
bill with but few dissenting votes, the
good roads program of the legislature
waa practically completed, and It is
conceded that this bill will pass the
senate. The other two new measures
are the county bonding act and the
bill providing for road work In precincts.
The state aid bill provides for a
state road board to consist of the gov
ernor, secretary of state and state
treasurer, with the governor as chair
man. This board will appoint a state
road engineer at $3600 yearly salary,
and such clerks and other employes
as are needed. The state engineer
shall act In a general and advisory ca
pacity! to the county courts, board of
county commissioners and such other
boards, which now, or may hereafter
be created by law, by the counties
which will elect to follow the pro
visions of this act.
The Btate road board shall let con
tracts to the lowest and best bidder for
the construction of such state roads
as, in Its Judgment, seem best for the
Interests of tho state, and may use In
rond building and repair work convicts
from the Btate penitentiary, detailed
by the governor.
The bill creates a Btato road fund by
an annual tax levy of one-half mill.
This fund shall be apportioned as fol
lows: Thirty-three nnd one-third per
cent for construction of state roads,
and 66 2-3 per cent to be apportioned
among the different counties. Tho
latter per cent shnll be divided Into
thirds, one-third to be apportioned
among the counties equally, one-third
In proportion to their respective
areas, and the remaining third In pro-
! portion to their respective assessed
i valuations.
j Tho total of tho three sums thus ap
! portioned to each county shall consti
tute tho apportionment of said oaunty.
Said apportionments will bo made up
on each county raising, by tho salo of
bonds, levy of taxes, or otherwise, for
tho construction of roads within that
county, an equal sum, and such coun
ty funds, when merged with the Btate
apportionment, shall bo expended
whenever the county court shall reslro
to avail Itself ot tho expert service of
the slate road engineer and tils assist
ants, But should any county fall to raise
an equal sum to tho state apportion
ment to that county within ono year
from the date of such apportionment,
or if any county should refuse to avail
Itself of the provisions of this act,
then the unapportloncd balance of tho
CO 2-3 per cent shall remain In the
state road fund, to be used for tho con
structlon of Btate roads, and shall not
be again apportioned.
The bill further transfers the auto
mobile license fund from (he general
stale funds to the stnt road funds.
