END OF . ARMISTICE) EXPECTED
tioases Ckanaes Mind and Pereaadea
Madrro Oae More.
EL PASO, -Tex., May S.-If president
Dlag . does not ' announce by tomorrow
ftoon hla Intention of resigning, an attack
on Juares as well as a conclusion of the
armistice for the Chihuahua district a
Imminent.
Thla .i was the opinion of Insurrecto
leaders tonight after a twenty-four hour
wait for the answer of Prraldent Dias to
the suggestion , made yesterday by Fran
cisco I. Madero, Jr.. through his peace
commissioners to Judge Carbajal, the fed
eral envoy.
General Madero tonight was approached
by one of the federal go-betweens in
certain whether he would consent to an
extenalon of the armistice which expires
tomorrow, tie replied that he would ai
ewer that question tomorrow mnmin
lie eald if an extension were aaked by the
isaerai government he would demand ape
clflc reasona before granting it.
Judge Carbajal. as well as the mhi
peace commissioners, remained in their
hotel here all day. Dr. Vumm rsnln..
head of the rebel commission, said at to
o'clock tonight that ha waa Hill awaiting
word from Judge Carbajal as to yester
days proposition and that no moie peace
conferences would be held until a reply
was received.
arbajal Makes Denial.
Judge Carbajal himself thrust a perplex
ing note into the day even is by declar
ing that he had not officially transmitted
the proposition of the rebel commission
ers. He told the newspaper men that
be had no authority to receive any propo
sitions concerning the Dlaa resignation,
his Instructions covering only specifio
points concerning political reforms.
When told of this General Madero ex
pressed the opinion that perhaps Judge
Carfcajul was not willing to acknowledge
the submission of the Dlaa question to the
. government. .
Some of the federals' go-botweens admitted
that It was their impression the govern
ment received the Madero proposition last
night, but could not state la what form U
bad bees) sent.
All the Insurrecto chiefs believe the gov
ernment now is fully cognizant of their
demands, at any rate through the press,
and that the delay .In tha receipt of an
answer Is due to confusion la official
circles la Mexico City. Some of them
eceat friction in the cabinet of the presi
dent. Madera 4'kaaee Aliunde.
General Madero feels that he has played
his trump card. He showed plainly today
the effect of the nervous strain of the last
few da a. When the federal go-betweens
first talked. Just before the first armistice
' was arraagedy they found him ready to
aeoapi Gssnral Dias as president provided

SUNDAY SCHOOL
. This class of young men waa organized
In October, isoi, with a good membership
of eight. Miss Selena Burns, now Mrs. J.
L. Godfrey, was teacher, and It was known
as 'the B. B. B. class. The membership
grew rapidly and soon numbered- betrwren
sixty sid seventy. They attended Sunday
school regularly and in addition had their
monthly business meetings at the home tt
the teacher. These meetings were held for
the purpose of getting the members closer
together In the general work of good fel
lowship among the young people of the
First Methodist church. The class has
been of great benefit to the Sunday school
in carrying out plan for missionary Work,
and is .planning now to support a foreign
missionary.
Miss Burns gave up the class in Novem
ber, 1904, and was succeeded by her sister,
Miss Ethel Burns, now Mrs. Z. T. Howell,
who had charge yt the class for three
certain reforms were Instituted, Since
then he has been surrounded by tha po
litical chiefs of the revolution and finally
has been persuaded that only through an
announcement of the Intended resignation
of Diss could peace be restored.
The change in hla views is said to have
been due to the persuasion of Dr. Vasqiiea
Gomes. Dr. 'Gomez, before coming here,
was one of those who thought peace could
be effected with President Diaz In power
and 'the Informal assurances of President
Dlai' Intention to resign would suffice.
When' he arrived, however, and learned of
the determined position of revolutionary
leaders from various parts of Mexico, he I
said to have devoted himself at once to
the proposition which was finally submitted
to the government envoy yesterday.
x.4 brief celebration of the battle of Puebla
took place In the Madero camp today.
General Madero presented General Pascual
Orozco, his commander-in-chief, with a
silk Mexican flag.. A few speeches were
made by rebel leaders and a band played
martial airs.

MARY AT THE LEOPARD SHOW
Miss Garden Admires Trained Beasts
From Jungle.
ON VAUDEVILLE STAGE AT LAST
Opera Star Makes First Appearance
There, But Beblod the Curtains
Interested In Tralnlnar
of Animals.
Mary Garden loves anlmnls.
Therefore Omaha Is assured prominent
place in Mary Garden's Impressions of her
present concert tour. This isn't entirely
Omaha's fault; It Is partly Omaha's good
fortune.
Mary Garden's first Impression of Omaha,
you see, was of Omaha's packing houses.
She dtdn'e visit them; she didn'e even see
them, but she did use them an a topic of
conversation against the trio of newspaper
reporters who Invaded her railroad castle
soon after It crossed Omaha's drawbridge.
6he then expresed both her Interest In the
business which so quickly converts living
creatures Into merchandise, and her Inter
est in the animals before their conversion.
But the more vivid impression was also a
more convincing Imprenslnn of this Inter
est In animals. It was the prima donna's
visit to the leopards who have been ap
pearing this week at the Orpheum.
And the Mary Garden who watched the
performance of the five beautiful Jungle
expatriates was very different from the
Mary Garden who leaned among the cush
ions of the room of her car and lazily but
graciously answered the queries of the
rress representatives and made conversa
tion. She was both more interested and
more Interesting.
Anyway this Mary Garden at the theater
she was a very smart looking person.
gowned In blue tailor-made and hatted In
lavender ribbon bows, and accompanied by
a well set up young Englishman leaned
forward In the box and watched with most
evident admiration the tricks of the little
spotted beasts In the cage on the stage.
And later, after the act, aha went behind
the scenes and talked to the leopard and
Madam valleclta, their trainer.
First Appearanee In Vandevllle.
It waa Mary Garden's first appearance
on a vaudeville stage. She acknowledged
the fact with a smile when queried. It
was a very pretty first appearance and
quite captivated those who witnessed It.
First the visiting opera star wanted to go
up to the stage and look at the leopards,
perhaps Btroke them. A watchful attend
ant warned her back.
"The chinchilla fur, madam," he said.
"They don't like that."
And madam lifted the broad stole of fur
with a light French movement of the
shoulders and obeyed, stepped back a
little.
"1 wonder." she mused, "how long it
took to teach those animals to play the
'Last Rose of Summer' as they do."
To wonder was to know apparently, for
the prima donna met the leopard tamer
and aked her. The leopard trainer flushed
slightly with pleasure and pride lu the
other's Interest and answered "Just about
two years."
"Two years! Think of that. It must
take a great deal of patience said courage.'
The opera queen in her conventional
atreet garb stood smiling across at the
leopard a mistress, who still wore her steel
link doublet and hose and tlright-hued
cape- The leopard's mistress flushed aga'"
In ber pleasure.
"You have to keep right at it. don't
yeu?" the opera queen asked. "That la. If
you start to have them to do a trick you
always make them do It. don't you?"
A pause made the question Impressive
"Oh, yea," the other replied "It wouldn't
do at all not to. If I once let one off 1
would not be able to control him next
time." I
And the two women, who when they
start out to do anything do it. Immediately
understood each other. .
Perhaps this understanding was 'respon
sible for the eagerness with Which Mme.
Vallecula later led Mary Garden to the
cages and Introduced her first to gentle.
ube.!:e:jt Tom, and then to growling, fero
cioue U'aoe.
Anyway, the Mary Garden who looked ao
! intently upon the performance of the
leopards and chatted so eagerly with then
trainer was more of the conquering, ou
erai,t artist who haa won rank in the
operatic firmament tlian was the Mary
(iarden who talked lasily to tlie presa rrp
ivftniauve who interrupted tier luncheon
and offered to write stories about her.

nent highway between Omaha and Denver.
The movement now started contemplate

bertson. Palisade and Imperial.
Mr. Parlsoe In a recent letter urging the
Interests of the road movement, says:
"An automobile route from Omaha to
Denver, through to Salt Lake City, un
questionably would be a great advertising
medium for your city and our state.
"As you know our legislature has made
no provision for a state highway commls;
sion. If we are to obtain a etate road,
it Is up to every city along the proposed
route to co-operate in obtaining a state
organization as would give a permanency
to the proposed route.
"We must keep In mind that at present,
aa shown by a Colorado state road map
Issued by the Colorado state highway com
mission that there la a road from Denver
to Julesburg, Colo.; from Denver to Holy
oke, Colo., and from Denver to Wray, Colo.
"C. P. Allen, chairman of the Colorado
state highway commission, strongly favors
the road from Denver to Holyoke. through
Wauneto, Imperial, Palisade, Culbertson,
McCook, etc., and cities along the Burling
ton. Yet Mr. Allen and hla commission
have no power to establish a road In our
state.
"The cities and every other city along
the Burlington that the proposed route as
recommended by the Colorsdo state high
way commission passes through, must get
together and form a state organization.
(."This matter Is urgent and demands im
mediate attention. Each city along this
route will be allowed only two accredited
delegates. No favoritism will be shown.
We need officer! who will push our state
road.
An organisation of these towns can prop
erly advertise our route, publish an official
tourists' guide and generally add ts the
keeping of our route before the varloua
automobile associations of the United
States.
"I will be grateful to you for any sug
gestions that will make thla good road
meet a success. Send the names of your
delegates and the time of their arrival at
