BL PASO, April 28-The return of Gen eral Reyes to Mexico n kes It necessary for the lnsurrectos to Insist that President plax shall give the rebels stronger guar anties of security and liberty than hitherto offered, according to a statement given out by Provisional President Madero today. The statement follows: "The return to Mexico of General Ber nardo Reyes renders It necessary that we shall ask President Diaz for stronger guar anties of good faith wit H reference to peace than we have at prevent. We cannot but view with distrust the order which brings back to our country one who cannot fur ther peace negotiations, but in whom there lie elements of danger to those negotia tions. In the minds of those familiar with Mexican politics the order which brings Ceneral Reyes to Mexico Is bound to arouse questions a to the sincerity of the presi dent in the present circumstances. "From a military standpoint we do not fear General Reyes, either on the score of his military attainments or his prestige. ."I agree with Dr. Gomez that any treaty of peace must be acoeptable to all of the people of all Mexico.

Rain Races Into City, Chasing After a Car April's Very First Shower Blows in, Accompanied by Nice Full Toned Thunder. Rain In a real, summery thunder shower, came sweeping dow nover Omaha and vi cinity from the west last night at 8 o'clock. There was thunder a plenty a,nd lots of water. It was the first of the AprU showers of literary fame and bok lore. The advance of the rain over the city was marked by a pretty race between an eastbound car from Dundee, the suburb to the west of the city. The ear departed Just before the marching rain entered the confines of Dundee, On into the city hardly two blocks behind the car came the rain, the outer rim marked by the narrow cloud of dust beaten up before the advancing drops. At Sixteenth and Karnam streets the rain overtook the oar after a nip and tuck heat for the last three blocks.

ANNEXATION SAID DEMOCRATIC PLAN Prince of Illinois Asserts Clark J Followers Have Hidden Mc in Pushing Recipror-' e KENT MAKES FUN .IFF New Member Arraign. "Revenue Tariff on Necessities." INFANT INDUSTRIES TOO BIG? Republicans Laugh at Big Business in Hospital. READS POEM TO HIS HEARERS Speaker Says Nation Caa Acquire Wraith If Not Merit by Consent, lag to Reciprocal Picking ' of rockets. WASHINGTON, April 28. Another dee laratton that annexation Is the desired end of the democrats in pushing reciprocity and a speech by a new member of the house, revealing the humorous features of a tariff fight in congress, were the prin cipal events of today's debate on the free list bill now pending before the house. Mr. Prince of Illinois, republican, at tacking the Canadian reciprocity bill, sounded the annexation note. President Taft's speech In New York Thursday night furnished his text. He said that the pour ing of Americans Into the Canadian north west and the attitude of the controlling forces of the democratic party could mean nothing else than annexation, reciprocity and1 partial free trade with Canada being the first step toward that end. 'I say to our neighbors on the north. iw, not deceived," said Mr. Prince. "When we go into a country and get It we take It. It Is our history and It Is right that we should take It If we want It, and you might as well understand It. The speaker has said so; the party back of him has said so and It does not deny that that Is Its desire." Mr. Prince declared that the reciprocity was the worst bargain ever driven by one nation with another and "the democratic farmers' free list" ought to be labeled the "farmers fake bill." Kent Makes Hearers lisngh. The humor of the session came when Representative Kent of California, a new republican member who succeeded Duncan McKlnley In the house, delivered a speech on the general tariff question arraigning "a revenue upon necessities." He said that with other novices In the house he felt sure he had absorbed speeches until he had "learned much that cannot possibly be true," and that the Congres sional Record was filled with a mass of mathematics "proving what la logically ab surd." "I am a republican, or what used to be a republican,". Mr. Kent observed, "because I believe in the protection of Infant In dustries that stand some eventual chance r-t becoming self-sustaining. But many In dustries, having outgrown the crade. have not been required to hustle for their liveli hood, but have been carried bodily to a ward In the hospital . where our standpat friends advocate keeping them during all eternity, to be doctored, nursed and nour ished at the public expense." Mr. Kent said that a protective tariff was an attempt to "tax ourselves rich." "The nation can acquire wealth if not merit," he said, "by unanimously consent ing to the reciprocal picking of pockets by all the people." To show tariff inequalities Mr. Kent said that "Mr. Rockefeller probably pays lees government revenue on the food he con sumes than does the average hod carrier. He would doubtless like to pay as much, but he can't without eating as much." Poem Head la Hoase. Mr. Kent read a "poem, produced by a laureate of my district," concerning the tariff speeches of Mr. Kent's opponent at the primaries. It ran: He makes It clear to me That what I lose' I sain, you see: And on such things ss clothes and shoes I seem to gain, but really lose. Thus, If I buy my socks too low They's still be higher, he says so; And shoes I thought were high last fall Were really low shoes alter a 1. If I pay less for shoes, or hats. The maker has to lose. And If be loses then you see He charges up the loss to me. Now when I have to pay him mora. He reckons profits to his store; And Duncan finds a share for me In aU of his prosperity. The speeches shed a radiant light Up n tne theme and nuke it bright; I merely read them o'er and o'er, To find mores less and less Is more. In buying hat or coat or vest pear's cheap and cheap Is dear at best; High's low, low's high, tar's near, near's far. White's black, black's white and there you are.

SENATES NAMES COMMITTEES Lists Submitted by Democrats and Re publicans Approved. v LA F0LLETTE READS A PROTEST Contends Progressives, Who Were Joined by Senator Kenyon, Are One-Fourth of Repnbllcnn Membership. WASHINGTON, April 28. The senate formally organized for business today by adopting the list of appointments to come up before the majority of both - parties. This expected fight against the adoption of lists threatened by the progressive re publicans did not develop. Senator 1a Fol letie contenting ' hlinselr with . reading a formal protest acaiifcr the selecvion made by the regular republicans The La Follette etatemens prepared at a conference of .thirteen Insurgents, Senator Kenyon, the new senator from Iowa, hav ing joined the original twelve, sets forth at some length the growth of the so-called progressive movement In the republican party. It asserted that the progressive re publicans entertain marked and well-defined differences of opinion from the regu lars; that the progressives now have more than one-fourth of the republican member ship in the senate and they have become a "settled and established fact in political history." The progressives, It was claimed, had a right to one-fourth representation on the various committees. The protest was di rected especially against the finance com mittee, on which the insurgents wished to place Senator Brlstow, and the Interstate commerce committee, on which Mr. La Follette desired a place. Three of the nine republicans on the Interstate commerce committee, it was pointed out, were from New England, and it was asserted that this committee had been left in the hands' of persons not friendly to advanced legislation regarding the railroads and that the finance commit tee had been left In the control of "ultra high tariff republicans." When Mr. La Follette had concluded the Insurgent statement, Senator Gaillnger, chairman of the committee on committees, said he was quite content to let the Insur gent statement go before the country to gether with the list of committees : as framed. Mathematically, be declared, the Insurgent wing was entitled to 100 com mittee places. As a matter of fact they were given 114 plaoes. "in the division of assignments," he added, "the committee of committees be lieves It was acting equitably and Justly." The committee list was then adopted with a few scattering "noes" from the in surgents.

SEE SMYTH KIDNAP HIMSELF Four Persons Observe Youth on Way to Shack. STATEMENTS MADE TO POLICE Witnesses Insist Alleged Victim of Black Handera Walked to Hat Where He Says He Was Held a Prisoner. Four statements casting serious doubt upon the story of Bernard Smyth In regard to his supposed kidnaping adventure have been made to detectives working for the Chief of police. The street car conductor whose car Smyth boarded on returning to the city told Detective Henry Heitfold that Smyth pretended to fall aboard and declared that he had Just been chased four miles by a man with a gun. The con ductor declares however that the boy was not excited, dishevelled or tired although he told of having run four miles at the point of a revolver. The druggist at Fortieth and Dodge tells a story similar to that of the conductor and says that from the first he took no stock in the boy's story. Both of these men offered to call the police at once but Smyth demurred. He told the conductor that his father had no doubt tended to that which the police say Is an absurd reply since his father was not supposed to know anything about it. Chief Donahue gave Instructions to Stephen Maloney, detective, to take the boy If possible to where these witnesses could be found and see If they could Identify him. This was to be done during the aft ernoon if the witnesses could be located. flaw No Automobile. Two statements from persons who saw Bernard Smyth on the evening of the day when the kidnaping was said to have taken place have been made to Detective Stephen Maloney, and both of them deny the possibility of an automobile carrying the boy to the western part of the city. Edward Undeland and his sister, Agnes Undeland, 4101 Cuming street, saw Smyth pass , their home shortly after 6 o'clock. He passed west on Forty-first and north to Isard. They spoke to him and the girl remarked to her brother that If he was afraid of being kidnaped it was a strange thing for him to be wandering off in that direction alone. She thought of following him, but her brother persuaded her not to. William Clark Williams, 4623 Hamilton strwtt. an employe of the Sunderland Brothers ooal yards, told Detective Ma loney that he saw a young man In a light raincoat and a light cap, who stopped and asked him If he knew Bernard Smyth. The youth was about Smyth's size and age and wore -the same sort of clothes. Williams agreed to come to the chiefs of fice to meet Smyth and see It they are the same person. He also said that C. J.

The all-protnlnent feature Is the con fession which McManigal Is reported to havo made, first to Detective Wllltttm J. Burns In Chicago and then In more com plete form to District Attorney Fredericks here yesterday. What are claimed to be extracts from this latest confession have been published, but from all official sources the word has been given out that none of these are authorized or authentic. The case Is assuming more and more ths aspects of tho case of Moyer. Haywood and Pettlbone at Boise City. Even the "Harry Orchard" feature promises to be repeated almost in duplicate. No official court action Is likely to be taken here befcre tho arrival of Clarencs S. Darrow, who is expected to have charge of the defense of the McNamaras.

He answered that he had not and would not. Twenty minutes later he was In the district attorney's office. "I made it a point to see McManigal first. Now It an alleged confession is presented In court we will be In a position to present to the Jury a denial." Woman Completes Identification. According to District Attoney Fredericks, Mrs. Ingersoll, the San Francisco board ing house keeper, computed her Identifica tion of James MoNamara as J. B.

On the other side it was stated by At torney Job Harrlman. who was with Hilton at the conference with the prisoners that the defense would contend that the Times plant was destroyed by an explosion of gas.
