May M Within twenty-four hour a general armistice throughout Mex ico will be declared by the federal govern tnent and the revolutionists. The peace proposals which have passed back and forth during the day reached a point at 1:30 o'clock where their acceptance by the lnsurrectos wan only a matter of a few houn. Thla Information was vouch safed by one of the lnsurrooto chiefs, who, today, received word of the government's proposals.

Three Heresy Cases for the Presbyterian General Assembly Charge of Preaching Unsound Doc trine Lodged Against Two Pro fessors and One Preacher. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. May 16.-Prom1-nent among the matters to be taken up by the general assembly of the Presbyterian church In the United States of America, which meets for Its one hundred and twenty-third annual session here on Thurs day, will be the question of alleged heretic utterances by several clergymen; the reduc tion of representation, both lay and cler ical, the grouping of the several boards that carry on the work of the church or ganisation and the question of adopting an Intermediate catechism. One of the other main things to be done will be the election of a moderator to suc ceed Charles Little of Wabash. Ind. Four names have been mentioned for the honor, the Rev. Frederick W. Hinitt of Danville, Ky.; the Rev. John Dixon of Trenton. N. J.; the Rev. John F. Carson of Brooklyn, N. T., and the Rev. Mark A. Matthews of Seattle, Wash. The heresey cases Involve the Rev. Dr. Francis Brown, president of the Union Theological seminary; Dr. William A. Brown, professor of the systematic theology of the same institution, and the Rev. Dr. William D. Grant of Northumberland, Pa., a graduate of Union seminary. The cases against the two Browns were taken up by the Presbytery of Pittsburg which refused to overture the general as sembly to Inquire into alleged heretical articles printed In religious publications by them, but two other Presbyteries,, Iowa and West Jersey, adopted such an overture and it will be presented to the general as sembly and no doubt referred to the com mittee on bills mid overtures for artlon. The heresey case of Dr. Grant was to have been submitted to the Pennsylvania synod, but It was later decided to have the general nssembly take It up. Dr. Grant was acquitted by a Judicial commission of the assombly on charges somewhat similar to those against the Browns, but the prose cution was not satisfied and took steps to carry the case to the higher bodies. r The consolidation of the various boards la expected to take up considerable time of the assembly. It Is proposed to group the boards Into four classes. The proposi tion of consolidation has been worked out by the executive commission, and some of the changes are so radical that they may meet with strong opposition. Among other matters, the executive com mittee will report to the assembly is that of representation. It has prepared two plans, each of which reduces the present also of the big body. It being argued that a more compact general assembly can bet ter transact the church business. The special committee on an intermediate catechism will make Its report In the form of a new Intermediate catechism. It ta expected a minority report will be made at' the earn time, ..

When the government authority had been replaced by that of the revolutionists, order gave way to license. Many rebels last night helped themselves liberally to the saloon supply and were soon half erased. The rioters ran through the streets shooting promiscuously. The peaceful inhabitants, terror-stricken, hid themselves In their homes, barring the doors and windows. The lawlessness soon took tha form of robbeiry. Charges of dynamite were ex ploded under the walls of the banks and the banks were looted. Tha rioters then robbed commercial houses of such of their atocks as tha mob wished to carry away. Tha rioters forced tha doors of tha Jails and releaaed tha prisoners. Much of tha lawlessness ta at tributed to the convicts thus made free.

MUCH INTEREST IN SALE PRICE Premlnai Which They Tasi Command Will Reflect National Credit of I'nlted States Compared With Nations of Earopet WASHINGTON. May 18. Secretary Mc Hgh today invited popular subscriptions to a ISit.ooo.Onn issue of government bonds, to reimburse the treasury general fund for expenditure on account of the Panama ca nal. Treasury officials expect the loan will bi largely overscrlbed and In distributing the new securities the government's announced Intention Is to give preference to smaller bidders. The new securities will bear S per cent interest, payable quarterly, will be free from ail national, state and municipal taxa tion and will be In denominations of 1100, 30f) and 1,000. They will be dated June L 1911. and will be Davable in ftftv v.r. By provision of law the bonds will not be available to national banks as the basis of circulation. Inasmuch as thev are the first time the fnlted States ever has issued bonds with such a restriction, much inter- eat is attached to the price they will brine;. According to law .they cannot be sold at less than par. The premium which they can command will reflect tho na tional credit of the United States an com pared with that of the nations of Europe. Inasmuch as the postal savings bank law fixes the par value of a postal bank bond bearing 2 per cent Interest at 1100, It Is agreed that the 3 per cent Panama canal bonds must bring more than par. How much more Is conjecture. The esti mates range from slightly above par to 103. Checks and postal orders will be accepted for the new bonds something which never has been done before. Although the Issue Is designed for private bankers, national banks which bid for the bonds will be allowed ot deposit them aa security for government deposits. Southern Orator Blames Lincoln for the, Civil War R. C. Cave in an Address Says Origi nal Republic Perished With Fall ' of Confederacy. LITTLE ROCK. Ark.. May lS.-Befor-s thousands of confederate veterans of the war between the states, and a great throng of their sons. R. C. Cave of St. Louis to day declared ,ln the course of his address: 'I hold fhat the responsibility' for the civil war, with all the blood and treasure that It cost and all the desolation and ruin that It wrought. Justly rests on Abraham Lincoln and his advisers." Mr. Cave asserted that he spoke not in bitterness, that he was simply discussing the facts of history and that he accepted the changed conditions brought about by the war. "Neverthelesa," exclaimed the ft. Louis veteran, "when the confederacy fell, the repuhlio as formed by the fathers perished. The states were robbed of their independ ence and became subject provinces of a centralized national authority. They tell ua this la best. It may be so." Mr. Cave said history teaches that pa triotism Is most ardent and freedom most secure In small communities. For this rea son he would rather owe his allegiance to his slate rather than to a mighty cen tralised government General Gordon announced that a tele gram of greeting had been received from President Taft. t is the first message of this sort to be sent to a confederate re union by a republican president. A committee will send to the president a telegram giving him a vote of thanka for hla message.

Stock and Kelly Win by Ex cellent Results fttelndrl Charts tn Honors Famous 'Cellist . Gives Doable Encore. It was a Stelndel night; and a Stock night, and a Kelly night. Omaha musical entertainment audiences will no longer be charged with coldness, with lack of appreciation, or with want of demonstrative inclination. While noth ing that might warrant the suggestion that the applause at the first night's concert was not such as might be controlled, nor at any time did It rise to the pitch of a storm. It waa spontaneous Judicious, well mer ited and bestowed without stint. To Mr. Stock and Mr. Kelly were accorded such receptions as must have warmed their hearts to the great audience; to Mr. Stelndal such an outburst aa won from him a double encore. To the orchestra was given unequivocal commendation, and to the Mendelssohn choir waa accorded such a warm outburst as would indicate In the first place that much was expected, and In the second that no ryctaticn bad been left unfulfilled. It wa.i fet-eat hlght for music; a great audience llntened to a great orchestra and a great chorus; wonderful harmonies and exquisites melodies filled the air, tha senses were ravished, and the higher attributes of man were fed to the full by tha bounteous feast so lavishly spread. Proo-ram Most Liberal. If one were to Indulge In criticism. It would be to the effect that the program held too much, It was almoat a surfeit. Tha "Tannhauser" number could have been omitted with no loss to the program. To Mr. Stock much thanka are due for the generosity of the orchestral numbers, aa well as for the pleasure of listening to a number of the best of modern works, which are as yet listed among the novel ties here. The opening number is one of these, Glaxounow being but little known, If at all. The performance provides for a showy exhibition of orchestral technique and It waa brilliantly given. In this num ber the capability of the orchestra and its conductor was thoroughly demonstrated. But it was In the beautiful Elgar suite that Herr Stock won his auditors. That wonderful combination of dainty delicacy and marvellous lightneas of effect was given with exquisite taste. To call such a composition and such a performance "charming," simply proves how useleaa is language, whon seeking to convey an ade quate notion of an Impreselon received by mualo that seems very near perfection. Triumph (or the ( horua. With the applause of tho multitude still ringing. Mr. Block vanished, and Mr. Kelly came on to take the orchestra and chorus for the presentation of the Coleridge-Taylor "Death of Minnehaha." Mr. Kelly got a most cordial welcome, and must surely have felt the Inspiration of an audience of "home folk.;' for he took up the baton with the air of one confi dent of his ground and certain of the outcome. And In no point was he disap pointed, nor did the utmost anticipation of the listeners exceed tha result. It was the finest thing in tha war of concerted singing ever listened to In Omaha. And the orchestra never followed the baton with more fidelity than It did for Mr. Kelly. With the perfect unison of. In struments and voices, with an entire ab sence of ragged or uncertain ,-attack,M with climaxes attained with absolute pre cision and with the beautiful muslo of tho work given sympathetic and artistic In terpretation, the careful, painstaking re hearsals and ardent study of a long sea son of preparation waa brought to a suc cessful and highly gratifying Issue. The Mendelssohn choir has made sure of the position to which It aspired, and Ita con ductor and Its members have cauge for honest pride in their achlevementa. Work of the Sololata.

You Think He's Wort h Taft's View of "Beasonable" Bestraint of Trade Extracts from Message of President of Year Ago, in Which He Opposed Position Now Taken by Court. t WASHINGTON, May 18. While Presi dent Taft made no statement today re garding the supreme court's decision In the Standard Oil case in which the court net up the doctrine that there might be "rea sonable" and "unreasonable" restraints of trade, official Washington recalled with In terest an extract from the special mes sage sent to congrecs by the presdent January 7, 1910., urging the enactment of a federal Incorporation law. In that message' President Taft discussed the suggestion that the word "reasonable" be made a part of the Sherman anti-trust law and strongly opposed the proposition in these' words: "I venture to think that this la to put Into tha bands of the court a power impos sible to exercise on any consistent -principle, which win insure the uniformity of decision essential to Just Judgment" Other statements by the prealdent tn his message were:' , . "The supreme court in several of Ita decisions has declined to read into the statute the word 'unreasonable' before 'restraint of trade' on the ground that tha statute appliea to ail restraints and does not Intend to leave to the court the dis cretion to determine what la a reasonable restraint of trade. , "Many people conducting great bust- nesses have cherished a hope and a belief that In some way or other a line may be drawn between 'good trusts' and 'bad trusts' and that it is possible by amend ment to the anti-trust law to make a dis tinction under which good combinations may be permitted to organize, suppress competition, control prices and do It all legally If only they do not abuse the power by taking too great profit out of the business. '"Pliey point with force to certain notori ous trusts as having grown Into power through criminal methods, by the use of Illegal rebates and proteetion, cheating ana by various acts utterly violative of busi ness honesty or morality, and urge the es tablishment of some legal line of separa tion by which 'criminal trusts' of this kind can be punished, and they on the other hund be permitted under the law to carry on their business. "Certainly under the present anti-trust statutes no such distinction exists. , It haa been proposed, however, the word 'reason able should be made a part of the statute, and then that It should be left to the court to say what Is a reasonable restraint of trade, what is a reasonable suppression of competition, what Is a reasonable mo nopoly." Here the president declared that he dis approved this Idea as thrusting too great a burden on the courts. ELLIOTT CALLS UPON TAFT Canlddate for V. a.

PASSENGERS AND CREW SAFE Gnat Lifts It Bodily and Drop It oa the Roof of Its hed with Back Broken Its Destruction Is Complete. OrSSKLnORF. Khenlsn Prussia. May 16 After a career of six weeks, the Peutschland. latest of the models of Count Zeppelin's Ill-fated dirigible balloons, stranded today on the roof of Its shed, a total wreck. The crew and passengers escaped injury. The finish of the airship was less specta cular than that of Its predecessors, but more complete. The accident occurred as the Deutschland was being released for a passenger trip. Eight passengers, four men and four women, had seated themselves in the cabin, the crew members were at their posts, and ano men on the ground clung to the guide ropes aa the powerful craft alowly emerged from Its berth and, nnder pressure of over 800,000 cubic feet of gas, struggled to be free. Just as the airship cleared the shed a violent gust of wind drove It baok against the entrance. At the Impact several bal-loonettes- burst and the releaaed gaa de stroyed the -equilfbrtum. The army 6f men at the guide ropes dung on desperately, but were powerless against tha wind, and another gust lifted the airship bodily. It dropped on the roof of the shed, Its back broken and the hull left dangling over one edge. In thla position the crew and passengers were left helpless until a fire brigade, hur- i rtedly summoned to the scene, ran ladders to tha top of the balloon sned and pulled them out of the wreck. The Deutschland waa built to replace In the passenger airship service the earlier craft of the same name, which went to Its end In the Teutoburglan forest on June 28 last. The motors and the vertical steer ing planes of the original Deutschland were saved and utilized in the construc tion of Its successor. The latter mads Its maiden flight on March 80 last and had sinoe made a number of successful trips. Today's waa the sixth serious accident which had befallen the Zeppelin dirigibles. The Zeppelin I, Zeppelin II, Zeppelin III, Zeppelin IV, the Deutschland and tha New Deutschland all have come to grief after short but brilliant lives.

His addrasa was on eorporatlona and their control. He said In part: "We are no longer afraid of our corpora tions aa we uaed to bo because we are be ginning to understand just what they are. There waa a time when our feeling about them waa almost one of a panto. Now wa know that when they become hurtful they can and ahould be restrained, or abolished. Tha Individual cannot compete with them. Ha must therefore be protected against them. "They must be made to understsnd. Moreover It should be recognized as a fundamental principle of our law In dealing with them that though we call them arti ficial persona, the only persons we are going to deal with In Imposing the penalties of the law on them are the persons who constitute their directors and officers. We ought by this time to have seen the futility I might even say the silliness of trying to punish Illegal action by penalizing eor poratlona as such. Fines punish the stockholders; forfeitures of charter and ot the franchise which they are exercising paralyzes Industry and confuses business." Responsibility for violating tbe law, he said, should fall on men who direct the corporations.
