Ps la Barm fuifc- realises tha responsi

In and It is not Improbable, admit repre

the new. that In a few districts tha result
will he tengled. It remains for the parties
to select their candidates. At present Fran
cisco L Madera, Jr., Is tha only man whose
name Is certain to be on the ballot. . Gen
eral Reyes wilt be here soon and it Is evi
dent his coming has made some of the
Maderolsts nervous. The general has not
said bo will not be a candidate.
Reyes' meads Ptwcr Saw.
General Reyes friends are not so numer
ous as they were before he was sent out
of the country. That any effort will be
made to prevent him from reaching the
capital Is not expected: but stories of plots
both In his favor and against him are
heard daily. Thla afternoon a newspaper
published a story that army officers had
planned to proclaim htm prasuleat and use
their forces to place him at the bead of the
nation.
Joae Tves limantour expects to leave
Mexico for Franco June U. Ha will carry
wita him a letter signed by many business
men la the capital.
When Madero arrives here he will be ac
corded only such a reception as Is given a
dlerlnsii1sHet etttserc Htit thee Is ns ilonhf
held nightly by clubs formed to honor
"the liberator of the country."
Among theae clubs there Is one formed
today whose membership Is entirely femi
nine. It Is named the "Sara Peres Madero
club," after Madsro's wife.
Plot to Dynosalte Madero.
EL PASO, Tex., June I. Soon after the
departure of Francisco I. Madero for Mex
ico City today details were made known
of an alleged attempt to dynamite him.
Tha plot, according to the Insurrecto po
lice, was to have been carried out during
the ball which Sen or Madero attended In
Juares last night.
Cruxrey, former jefe politico of the town
of CuaJaJupe, opposite Fabena. whom Ma
dero deposed, has been locked up In
Juares and planed Incommunicado and In
surrecto secret service men have been de
tailed to make other arrests.
When tba plot waa disoovered. enough
dynamite was being carried Into th ball
room to blow trp the entire building;. About
BOO people. Including Senor Madero and hla
wife, ware the principals and witnesses of
a grand march, when about 11 o'clock a
man was stopped at the entrance. Oat of
the man's pocket was pulled a large tin
can, which was filled with dynamite and
provided with m. time fuse. The taiurreeto
polloo sssBrt that had the dynaratto eg
pioded m ths ball room no one would have
escaped Injury.
Opinion to expressed by tha Juares in.
thorttlea that the presence of ths dynamite
at the ball Is only aa elaborate conspiracy,
formed tn Mexico City and other places,
by a political parry opposed to Madero and
that further developments are expected,
Ths departure of Senor Madero left Juarex
m charge of General Jose da la Los Blanco
and LCOg tawurrectos.
Aa Impressive Incident of the departure
of Madero was ths farewell between him
and General Navarro, former-federal com
mander, who surrendered Juares. . When
Madero saw ths old federal commander In
the crowd ho ran forward to embrace him.
Later General Navarro mounted the train
platform and they embraced again, the
Insurrectos applauding. Madero expressed
ths hops of seeing Navarro In Mexico CItr.
General Navarro In turn expressed thanks
ror nis escape from Juares.
Maetrs Tltresed,
ocoor aiaaero nimaeif waa greatly
pleased with ths prospects of Ms reaching
Mexioo City. "It la, of course, the climax
of ths revolution." he said. "It seems one
triumph Is completed; we began our Cght
la ths open field, we are marching Id peace
to me stronghold of those, who were onos
""" fees. No one. six montha ago, would
hare believed that so great a change could
coma to a country, when ths country was
airiaea between bitter enemies. Now
trust all ths hatred will be forgotten, for
aner au it was g hatred merely for a so
cial condition. As Mexicans we are alt
brothers. I trust tranquillity win spread
inrougnout tno land."
Just before ths time est for bis learlns
senor Madero heard of tha looting of the
dty of Parral. aa Important mining oenter
noar JImines. A band of rebels entered the
place and took away 60,oog from the

TAFT WITHHOLDS RECORDS

WHAT BECAME OF $1,600 BALANCE
Artist Paid for Palatlaar Day's Pte
tre from the Emergeaer Faad
Secretary Ksel Acta by
Instrwetloaa.
WASHINGTON'. June . A controversy
over the executive's right to withhold con
fidential papers from a congressional prob
ing committee was precipitated today by
the refusal of Secretary of EtateJKnox. on
the Instruction of President Taft. to place
before the house committee on expenditures
in . ths Stats department books showing
the record of the payment for tha portrait
of former Secretary of State Day.
The committee Is seeking to discover
what became of the $1,900 balance of the
fcLtfg voucher drawn for the payment of
the1 portrait. Artist Rosenthal received only
tv for his work and tha H.600 la unac
counted for.
The president held that the &4H was
aid out of the emergency fund for unfor
seon emergencies In the diplomatic and
consular service and for extending diplo
matic Intercourse with foreign nations,
which congress had provided need not be
accounted for If the president certifies that
an Item should be paid from this fund.
President Roosevelt had made a notifi
cation and President Taft hesitated to go
back of that notification.
Weeld Reveal Other Items.
Furthermore, Secretary Knox explained
to the committee. It wee-Improper to pro
duce the books because thereby other un
disclosed Items of expenditure would be re
vealed. Secretary Knox aald he was directed
to complete bis Investigation Into what be
came of the money and to report the facts
to the president.
Chairman Hamlin of Missouri threatened
to take the matter to the floor of the house.
A colloquy between Hamlin and the secre
tary finally resulted In the suggestion that
the chairman might be allowed personally
to Inspect the particular record. This course
probably will be followed.
Mr. Hamlin questioned Secretary Knox
closely ks to what J urtlfl cation there was
for paring for a portrait out of a secret
fund set aside for unforseen emergencies
and for extending diplomatic utarbourse.
Mr. Knox said it bad been the practice
sines USA. He Informed the committee that
no trace had yet been found of the S2.4St
voucher which Mr. Rosenthal said he signed
In blank after receiving the I860 personal
check of former Chief Clerk Michael, now
consul general to Calcutta.
Kaex Writes to Taft.
Secretary Knox In hla letter to President
Taft, dated today, aald:
'This expenditure was covered by a regu
lar certificate Issued under and pursuant
to the authorisation of section 91 of ths
revised statutes. Inasmuch as a compli
ance with this summons In the matter of
producing the records containing state
ments regarding this voucher would be to
place before the committee accounts which
have been certified to by one of your prede
cessors. President Roosevelt, aa not proper
under section 31 to be mads public I have
to request your direction as to what iny
action In obedience to this summons ill all
be."
President Taft in his reply said that In
view of the facts and circumstances and
lhat tha emergency fund expenditure for
this period have, under the express au
thority of congress, been certified by Secre
tary Hay "for my predecessor. President
Roosevelt, as being of such a character
aa ought not to be made public, I feel that
nothing but aome extraordinary circum
stance would Justify me la directing you
to take such records before the committee
named, because the discretion thus exer
cised under the statute should. In my Judg
ment, in general be conclusive and btndlng
upon this point."
Secretary Knox, who was secretary of
stats about the tlma the portrait waa paid
fur .will testify next Tuesday as to what
he may know about the ease.

HITS HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT
Lynch Takei Up Account! Before i
County Board.
BUT POTATOES AT ADVANCE.
Chairman ef riaaaro rwaasaltte Says
Instttattoa Cave ninety Teats
When Price sixty eks
"Xa Scalps. w
Attack on the management of the county
hospital waa carried Into a discussion of
figures snd accounts before the county
commissioners Friday afternoon by John
C. Lynch, chairman of the cotnmlttee on
finance, who has been punhing the investi
gation of the Institution.
That W9 buKhels of potatoes had been
bought at 90 cents a buehel. when the
market price was only W cent, was one
of the charges made by the commissioner.
He raid that the highest prices had been
paid for fruit. Drug bills, he declared,
were brought In months after the articles
had been used, when it was Impossible to
check them up.
"I'm. not after any man s scalp." said
Lynch, looking at Thomas O'Connor, In
whose charge the hospital Is. "but t do
want to fee these leaks stopped up."
The report returned by Commissioner
O'Connor In the Investigation Instigated
several weeks ago. which came up for
discussion yesterday, waa objected to by
Commissioner Lynch as inaccurate and not
to be depended upon. The report showed
an increase In inmates great enough to
account for ths increase In expense that
has marked the first four months of ths
present year.
Lynch brought tn a recommendation
from Georgs Antbes of the county audit
ing department, that the report was un
reliable, as no dally record was kept of
the Inmates, and the total provided for
during the month might be much, larger
or much less than any snap enumeration
taken at ths firet of every month.
Lynch proposed that hereafter the super
intendent at the hospital be instructed to
make a daily record of the number of In
mates, so that at the end of the month
be could report to the board the number
of Inmates and tha number of days each
waa In the hospital.
In regard to the bills coming In lata,
Jeff W. "Bedford expressed himself very
forcibly as always having taken the stand
that all bills should be In at the end of
the month.
Lynch also brought up several deficien
cies In the management of the county
store at South Omaha. He charged that
packages of tee, supposed to contain a
pound, were given out which weighed only
three-quarters of a pound, and that It waa
the same with other articles aa, for In
stance, crackers.

Herbert Farjecn, writing lay tbe London
World, makes a plea for the Institution
cf "a periodic dramatic feeilval In Lon
don, baed substantially on the ancient
competitions In the Dtonyslan theater, but
dllleiing, cf necessity. In I artlcula.ro I
tugKt-st (tentatively) that ihe festival
hou'.d occupy three weeks; that the first
phould be devoted to six tragedies, the
second to six cimedles and the third t
twelve one act play a. and an award even
ing for the announcement of results and
the delivery of speeches and special ad
dresses by the winners of the contests. It
should not be hard to Induce the pro
moters of the forthcoming National the
ater to take the whole scheme under their
wing, for the festival which, I suggest,
should occur trlennlally is essentially na
tional in conception and should form a re
markable feature of every third London
season."
C. 1L McLellan, who Is now repre
sented on Ihe American siage by two
muslcsl comedies, "Marriage a la Carte"
and "The Pink Lady" In New Tork
City, is eager to have one of hla serious
plays. "The Jury of Fate," acted In this
country- H. H. Irvtng gave It here about
five years ago; and those who then saw
the play are of the belief that Its first
night failure was wholly due to the con
trariness of a mechanical and lighting de
vice that failed to work, with tbe result
that a "da-i: change" that was calculated
for less than thirty seconds required forty,
five nvnutt-s by the time the stage hands
got things in order. The play tells of the
plea of a man who has misspent his life
for another chance In order that ha may
profit by the mistakes. Ha Is given the
chance, and makes a worse muddeJ of
things In the second life.
