WARM WELCOME FOR MADERO
Leader Begins Triumphal Trip Across
Mexico at Eagle Pass.
RECEIVED AT MIDDLE OF BRIDGE
Address of Welcome Is Made by Gov
ernor Carransa Gateway of
Flowers Is Adorned with
the National Colors.
PIEDRA8 NEGRAS, Mexico, June 8
Through a colonnade of arches, about
which was assembled a cheering mass of
Mexicans, Francisco I. Madero, Jr., en
tered Mexico from the T'nlted States today
on his triumphant Journey to the ancient
Axtec capital. The blare of trumpets, the
shouts of "viva Madero," and continuous
handclapplng from balconies of houses
along the way greeted the former rebel
chief and his party.
Bouquets rained thick and fast on the
Madero automobile and throughout the
procession the victorious rebel chieftain
stood In his machine bowing and smiling
to the throng. t
Crowds from Eagle Pass, Tex., and the
old Cludad Porflrlo Diss swarmed the
bridges. -,
During the night, as the train sped acrofs
Texas, every little station contributed Its
crowd to the Madero welcome. With
Mexican and American flags fluttering In
the light of dosens of torches, the officers
of Madero's staff, on guard at ths entrance
to his private car, repeatedly were com
pelled to address the crowds while their
chief slept.
Gateway of Flowers. ''
Ths party arrived at Eagle Pass, Tex.,
at 8:30 O'clock and were driven In automo
biles across the. International L bridge. " At
the middle of the bridge . Madero was re
ceived In the embrace of V. Carransa, ths
new governor of Coahuila, who escorted
htm Into . Mexico through- a - gateway -ot
flowers, the arch of which bore the In
scription "Pledrss Negras." signifying ths
passing of the name Ciudad Porflrlo Diss
from this town and the dawn of a new era
In Mexico.
Though the hour was early, the crowd
had assembled long before ths train ar
rived, and when Madero and his wife,, fol
lowed by the party of thirty, moved slowly
across the bridge in a procession of auto
mobiles, cheers rang through the air.
The demonstration began at. Eagle Pass,
on the arrival of the train early this morn
ing and reached its climax at the center of
the International bridge where the party
halted by an arch front which was draped
the red, white and green of Mexico. As
Benor Madero approached the portiere
parted and a throng of Mexicans, a band
and rcores of banners and pendants re
splendent In the morning sun were - re
vealed to him as cheers rang through the
air. Here the party paused and listened to
speeches by Benor Madero and Governor
Carransa. , ,
Benor Madero spoke of the freedom which
characterised his entrance to Mexico and
figuratively referred to the general free
dom which-he said now prevailed In the
republic.
On Kxeltiaa; Incident.
When fenor Madero reached the munici
pal building he was escorted to a balcony,
where the only Incident of the day oc
curred. Senor Madero was being Inrtoduced In
a long, flowery speech by one of the town's
youngest orators, Manuel Lopex, who, for
ome unexplained reason, took occasion to
denounce Benito Juares aa an African
robber who bad separated church and
state. Senor Madero moved toward young
Lopes. A dosen hands quickly seised the
young man and shoved him through the
door. The crowd applauded. He was Im
mediately Imprisoned. Senor Madero then
spoke and defended Juares, after which he
turned to a discussion of the principles
which ths revolution had fostered. '
Senor Madero and party left on a special
train at 10:30 o'clock, preceded by. 300 armed
men on a pilot train. The next Stop will
be at Monclova, Max., tonight.

Church of Brethren
Will Discuss Voting
and Land Agents
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., June 3. Several train
loads of members arrived last night and
today to attend the world's conference of
the Church of the Brethren and the high
water mark will be reached tomorrow,
when sessions will be conducted In the
city Auditorium and two large theaters.
Two questions of paramount Importance to
be taken up early In the business session'
next week are those of members of the
church voting and acting ss land agent.
In the past It has been the policy of the
brethren not to vote and ths church never
recommended that members exercise the
right of suffrage. But lately many of
thein have voted and a restatement of the
position of the church may be made.
It Is said much harm has been done by
brethren ministers engaging In the land
business, which, ths standing committee
characterized ss "considered even by the
world a questionable vocation."
The concern to whloh the churchmen ob
ject Is a widely advertised land ompany,
or rather a land selling company. The
land, which lies In California, Is held under
option and . sold on margins. It is said
that the tr uble arising In the church gath
ering today grows out of the fact that ths
ministers engaged In the land business
tcok church rosters to be used as mailing
lists In the circulation of . literature. Sev
eral persons In Omaha are In touch with
the Operations of the company to which
the church is now raising objection.
Senator Lorimer
Wants to Testify
- -,- '.- --t
Illinois Member Asks Permission, to
'Appear Before Committee that is
v . to Investigate His Case. -
WASHINGTON. June 3. Senator Wllham
Lorimer today requested that he be per
mitted to appear before the new Investigat
ing committee to testify in his own hehalf
Ths request was telegraphed to the senate
committee on privileges and elections by
Mr. Irlmer, who Is In .Ohicako. The .com
mittee. It la said, would be glad to hear
him. . .
Mr. Lorlmer's telegram was as follows:
At the former Investigation nothing was
charged against me personally. Therefore,
there was nothing for me to deny as a
witness. It is my earnest desire to be per
mitted to testify before your committee so
that I can refute any charges that may be
made or any suspicions that anyone may
have aa to the validity of my election.
The telegram tbad the effect of quieting
persistent rumors that the Illinois Senator
would resign. Senator Dillingham, chair
man of the committee, said that undoubt
edly Mr. Lorimer would be given the full
eat opportunity to testify.
The telegram reached the committee
headquarters immediately after the ad
journment of a meeting at which the Lori
mer Inquiry had been under consideration.
No action was taken today, but another
meeting was ordered for Monday, when
the question will be taken up again.
The entire discussion today centered
about a motion by Senator Kenyon that
the committee proceed as a whole with the
work. There were reminders of the tacit
agreement for the selection nf a inui.i
committee to do the work and indications
pointed to the failure of the Kenyon
motion.
The members of the committee generally
expressed themselves as desirous of hav
ing the .Investigation conducted In Wash
ington to as great an extent as possible;
During the meeting Senator Dillingham
expressed a desire to be relieved from ser
vice on ths proposed subcommittee, and
It Is probable that Senator Sutherland
will be given the place.

Colonel W. R. Stoll
Dies Suddenly
Well Known Criminal Lawyer Ex
pires of Heart Disease at Home
in Cheyenne, Wyo.
CHEYBNNE. Wyo., June 3. (Special.
Colonel Walter R. Stoll, the well' known
Western criminal lawyer, died suddenly at
hi home in this city at 3 o'clock Friday
morning of heart failure. ' Colonel ' Stoll
had been In his usual 'good health and was
down town as late as 7 o'clock Thurs
day . evening, physicians were summoned
shortly after midnight, but they could not
restore heart action, and one of Wyoming's
most brilliant public men passed away. .
Colonel Stoll gained world-wide publicity
when as prosecuting attorney of this, Lar
amie, county he successfully prosecuted
the late Tom Horn, convicted and hanged
for the murder of Willie Nickel, son of a
Laramie county sheepman. Horn was no
torlaus throughout this section, having
killed several ranchmen prior to the mur
der of the Nickel boy, ar although he was
defended by seven leading lawyers, and
the evidence aside from Horn's confession
to Detective Joe Lafors was purely cir
cumstantial, Ptoll secured a conviction
after one of the most sensational trials
ever held in Wyoming. It was Stoll's
brain that conceived .the idea of getting
Horn to confess the killing of the Nickel
boy, which plan was later carried out by
Lafors, assisted by Deputy . United States
Marshal L. E. Snow and Stenographer
Charles Ohnhaus, now clerk of the federal
court here, who In an adjoining room
heard Horn's blood-curdling confession.
Stoll also defended a large number. of cat
tlemen, who, In 1892. were arrested by fed
eral authorities while on the celebrated
Johnson county Invasion agalnat alleged
cattle rustlers.
Colonel Stoll graduated from West Point
with the class of 1884 and served four
years In the regular army, resigning to
engage In the practice of law here. He
was a lifelong democrat until 1005, when
he became a republican. He was without
question the leading orator of the state.
Deceased leaves a widow here and sev
eral relatives In the east. His estate is
valued at more than $50,000. No arrange
ments have been made for the funeral,
but the body will probably be Interred In
Denver.

TEE VbCAlfT CHAIR
BRYAN RETURNS TO LINCOLN
Nebraskan Reiterates His Criticism
of New Wool Schedules.
GOOD AS FAR AS IT GOES
days Raw Wool Should Go on Free
List nnd Dnty on Woolen Goods
Made Lower Slight
Praise for Wilson.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb.. June 3. (Special Tele
gram.) Pack home after an extended trip
through eastern and north central states,
W. J. Bryan thla morning reiterated state
ments which he has previously made re
garding the action of house democrats on
the woolen tariff, but went no further.'
Mr. Bryan declined to discuss yesterday's
statement by Congressman Norrls, alleging i
czarlsm In the conduct of the house by the
democratic leaders, and treated similarly
a question concerning the statement of
President Oary of the Steel trust as to the
necessity for government regulation of
prices In that Industry. In both cases, he
begged to be excused on the ground that I
he had not had time to read the press dls- j
patches carefully, nor to give the matter !
due consideration. I
Mr. Bryan arrived In IJncoln at 1:30
a. m. this morning, coming from Minne
apolis. He spent the morning in meeting
relatives and friends who are coming to
Lincoln for Miss Grace Bryan's wedding.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bryan, Jr., arrived
early this morning and Miss Tyler, daugh
ter , of ex-Governor Tyler of Virginia,
came In on a morning train. It was while
waiting for the latter, In company with
Mrs., Bryan and Miss Grace Bryan, that
Mr. Bryan discussed the woolen tariff. .
Good ns Far as It Goes.
"I think, that I; hare, said about enough
on that matter,' aald .Mr., Bryan. t has
been a topic of conversation almost every
where I have, been., However,1 I will say
this much, the bill Is better than any
republican bill we have ever had. The only
objection that I have to it Is that It doss
not go far enough. I believe It would have
been better If they had put wool on the
free schedule and made a greater reduc
tion in the rates on woolen goods than
they did. A democrat can Criticise it for
not going far enough, while rejoicing that
It went as far as It did. A republican, If
he adopts the view of a majority of his
party, will condemn It because It went as
far as It did."
When It was suggested that this state
ment left the bll somewhat between the
"devil and the deep blue sea," Mr. Bryan
disclaimed any such Intention.
"Not at all," he said. "We can all be glad
for what the bill gives us, even though we
would rather that It had gone further."
Slla-ht Praise for Wilson.
Mr. Bryan remarked that everywhere
that he had been the democrats were op
timistic as to the 1912 possibilities. He
made hia usual refusal, however, to men
tion personalities la the presidential nom
ination race, shying any mention of his
personal view of Wood row Wilson. He
said that Governor Wilson apparently
made a good Impression at Minneapolis,
where he spoke shortly before Mr. Bryan's
visit. There was nothing In Mr. Bryan's
tone, however, to indicate that he did not
think that any other democrat might Have
made an equally good Impression.
When Mr. Bryan refused to comment on
Congressman Norrls charge that the hoftse
democrats were using autocratic methods
to control legislation, hs also declined to
state his own general view of the matter.
He aald that he was not prepared to say
anything whatever on the subject.
Mr. Bryan Is to remain In Lincoln until
after the Bryan-Hargreaves wedding next
Wednesday.

Taft Addresses Conference
President Taft addresed the conference
as follows:
"The Canadian reciprocity agreement,
providing for free trade in agricultural
products of the two countries, and for ft
corresponding reduction of duty on all ths
secondary food products, and for a con
siderable reduction In a number of manu
factured goods, passed the house of repre
sentatives In April last, was referred bjr
the senate to Its committee on finance and
there has been undjy consideration by the
committee for a number of weeks. .Vlt
nevses in favor and against the pasxage of
the bill embodying the agreement have
been heard at considerable length, and ws
now hope that the bill will be brought be
fore the senate, possibly without recom
mendation, some time during the coming
r.eck.
"The agreement had been suggested In
the necenary conference held with the rep
resentatives of Canada over the question of
the application of the maximum and mini
mum ciausea of the Payne tariff bill to
Canadian Importations Into this country;
and In the course of the adjustment of that
question. In which, by reason of certain
Canadian concessions on exports of the
t'nlted States into Canada, we were able
to apply the minimum tariff to Canadian
Imports, it seemed mutually profitable to
extend the consideration of the tariffs of
the two. countries, already begun, to the
point of a complete reciprocity agreement.
' "The . cordial approval throughout the
country which the proposed agreement re
ceived when It was sent to the senate sur
prised even those who wsre responsible for
Its making, and I am confident that fur
ther consideration of the treaty since Its
submission to congress in January last
has only confirmed the popular judgment
in favor of Its adoption into law.
If the Mil Passes.
'Ths question naturally arises why I
should come out from Washington to Chi
cago to speak on an Issue like this when
the person to be reached are so much
nearer my usual place of residence. The
bill will pass, if it passes at all. because
of the force of public opinion In Its favor.
"The agreement has buen srltlclsed be
ctuse it was framed as a completed docu
ment by the State department, without
consultation with members of the house
or the senate, and we of the administration
have been subjected to many attacks on
these grounds. The subject matter of the
treaty, however, was of such a character
It covered so many different items that if
conferences had betn sought In respect to
those Items, the Individual objections by
senators and representatives would have
been so many that we would never have
reached any agreement at all.
"One of the great objections to the old
method of framing a tariff bill was that
in order to secure its passags every dis
trict had to be given something in the1 bill
In the way of protection, whether it needed
it or not, for the purpose of appeasing the
representative of that district and secur
ing his support. Hlnce the proposition has
been made and has received the general
approval, that the various schedules of the
ttrlff should be considered separately tnd
that the amount of protection to be fur
nished to a particular product should be
determined on its merits with reference to
the cost of its production at home and
abroad.
"Now, ths Canadian reciprocity agree
ment in a little different way Involves la
Ita consideration the same principle. It
calls for approval of It as a unit, without
regard to the necessity for tariff revision,
if there be such necesalty, in respect to
other schedules of the tariff not affected
or touched by It.
As to Opposition.
"1 venture to take that theer is much
less real opposition to reciprocity than has
been reported in Washington for the pur
pose of Influencing votes In both houses.
I am very hopeful that the bill will pass
the senate, and when It does pass, and
has been agreed upon by the Canadian
parliament lis actual operation will be so
beneficial to both countries that the ar
guments against its apoilon will be for
gotten or will only be remembered as ex
aggerated Instances of pervolted imagina
tion. I say this because 1 have examined
