Washington. May 4.?Not since the
Republican guns were unlimbered
against the Democratts free list bill
by Jams* H. Mann, minority leader,
over a week ago, has the debats in
the house developed such an attack
on the measure aa made today by
Representative Hill (Conn.), a Re?
publican member of the ways and
means committee and one of the
leading Republican advocates of the
Canadian reciprocity bill.
Mr. Hill declared that the bill de
vised by the Democratic leaders re?
moving tie* tariff dutlea from many
food producta and manufactured ar?
ticles waa so crudely drawn and so
Indefinite In Its terms that Instead of
$10.000.000 reduction In revenue, aa
the Democrats claimed, It might make
a reduction of $60.000,000; and that
tta effect upon business would be to
transfer many flourishing industries
to Europe.
Mr. Hill expalned that the Inter?
national Harvester Machine company,
the large sewing machine companies
and other great manufacturers would
tat aide under the Democratic bill to
manufacture parts of their machines
?heaply abroad, and bring them into
this country to be assembled by
cheap labor here.
Mr. mil said that In attempting to
make free of duty the bagging used
to wrap cotton bates the Democratic
bill would let in free the bagging used
by the fertiliser trust, the cement
mills of the United States Steel com?
pany and by other monopolies which
would give no corresponding reduc?
tions In prices to consumers.
<9. W. Underwood, chairman of the
ways and means committee, lnterjec
t><f that Mr. Hill's whole argument
was from the standpoint of the
American manufacturer; that the
bill's purpoae was 'to reduce prices
and coat of living for the Araerlcon
people.**
Mr. Hill declared that the reduc?
tions would in almost every case be
taken up by the big corporations that
control the market.
Mr. Focht (Pa.) said that the
tariff debate In the extra session was
ling the country $10,000 g minute.
fr. Sims (Tenn.) retorted thai the
spense to the country would t*J the
te whether the house were In ses?
sion osr not.
Te did not call the extra session,"
retorted Mr. Focht. "You hai to, *
ike your agreement with the White
House that you would pasc *h?j ieci
proclty bill."
"Whose White House Is it?" aska<:
Mr. 91ms.
You claim that and everything
?Is* In sight." said Mr. Focht.,
"Who owns the White Hoi.*e?"
persisted Mr Sims.
"You act as if you did," rejoined
Mr. Focht, "and you act as though
you r ally had the presidency now. I
believe you have discounted Demo?
cratic success for 16 years ahead, but
yea are entirely mistaken. The op?
timism of th?>se Democrats remind
sas of the man who lumped off the
12nd story of* the Hinger building In
New York. When he got down ab >ut
th?> 15th floor he hollered. 'I'm all
right so far." but when he lande 1 on
the sidewalk there waa not enough
left of hlrn to hold a postmortem
apon; and so It will be with you
when you hit th- sidewalk In 1912."

Kaste n, Pa., May %?"By the evi

accident was caused by a defective
rOfidbed,*' was the finding of the coro?
ner's jury In Phllllpsburg, N. J., fol?
lowing the lnque3t of the victims of
th?e wreck of the Pennsylvania at
Martins creek last Saturday. This
tlndlng was made In connection with
the death of Eleanor Rutherford, the
Utlca ?achool teacher, who died from
Isaf Injuries in the Easton hospitol.
Prosecutor Striker, who assisted
Coroner Klnney in his investigation,
said he would have liked to have a
rn<>re explicit verdict.
"The caee is now up to the grand
Jury for further Investigation if they
Dart to take it," he ealu. "No one
being charged with neglect, there Is
no one against whom a charge can
be made. There was no evidence to
show any person charged with th?*
?
care of the roadbed had any knowl?
edge of a defect, if any there was."
Testimony tending to show that
?allast had been taken out of the road?
bed in order to straighten the tracks,
which were from 6 to 12 inches out
af line, and that no one had warned
the engineer of th?e special that there
was danger ahead was given by
Jacob Huff, one of the section men.
at the coroner's inquest today.
Utesjard Miller, another section
hand, admitted that with a couple of
buckets of water the fire which fol?
lowed the derailment could have been
sxtlnguished immediately after the
wreck.

Meeting.
El Paso, Texas, May 3.?Shaded
from the sun's heat by a cottonwood
grove at the foot of the barren hill,
over which the insurrecto army not
long ago had threatened to make its
way into Juarez, Francisco I. Madero,
Jr., the revolutionist leader, clasped
hands tonight with Judge Francisco
Carabajal, official peace envoy of
the Mexican overnmcnt, thus begin?
ning formal peace negotiations be?
tween the warring factions of the He
public.
As Judge Carabajal's credentials
had instructed him to deal with 1
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., as leader
of the revolution, the two men met
on neutral ground and talked alone
for nearly an hour. They arranged
the preliminaries of the first confer?
ence, which will begin at 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Judge Carabajal first called on Gen.
Navarro, the Federal commander of
Juarez, accompanied by Senors Bran
iff and Obergon, who helped to bring
about the negotiations. They pro?
ceeded by automobile to the meeting
place, where Judge Carabajal and ,
Senor Obergon alighted. Scnor Bran
iff continued over the loose sands be?
side the muddy Rio Grande to the
Madero camp. A few minutes later
Madero "entered the automobile,
wearing a felt hat, around which was
a gaudy colored band, the revolution?
ist insignia. He was followed by a
troop of cavalry, which escorted him
to the meeting place. Pasquel Orozco
and Col. Francisco Veilar rode be3ide
him.
On the meeting ground, the entire
escort dismounted. They fondled
their rifles at a respectful distance,
while Judge Carabajal and Ma?
dero sat in thfe automobile alone, ar?
ranging details of the conferences
that are to follow.
A squad of United States troopers
basked in the sunshine across the line
near the river, and watched the meet?
ing across the river. ?
It was aranged that the meetings
would be between the envoys, no one
else hereafter being allowed within
a radius of 100 yards. Even Senors
Branlff and Obergon, who are peace
advisers to Judge Carabarjal, will be
forced to wait outside the reserved
distance. Dr. Vasquez Gomez will
represent Gen. Madero.
At the conclusion of today's meet?
ing, which lasted an hour, Gen. Mad?
ero declared that he had examined
Judge Carabajal's credentials and
found them satisfactory in every re?
spect. He also said he had exchanged
"general impressions" with Judge
TarabajaJ, as to the procedure to be
followed by the peace commission?
ers.
The automobil* then carried Gen.
Madero to his camp and returned to
the meeting ground to convey Judge
Carabajal to Juarea.
The three days' prolongation of the
armistice went into effect at noon to?
day. In Includes Ojlnaga.

TWKNTY-ONE BILLS AGAINST Mc
NAMARA AND McMANIGAL.
Accuse Two Brothers Alone of Re?
sponsibility for Los Angeles Times
Dimeter.
Los Angelet, May 4.?Twenty-one
new indictments .according to reliable
authority, were voted late today by
the grand jury against the accused
dynamite conspirators, James B. and
John J. McNamara and Ortie Mc
Manigal.
Nineteen of the Indictments, it is
understood, are against the McNam
aras alone, and charge them with
murder in connection with the blow?
ing up of the Los Angeles Times
newspaper plant and the consequent
death of 21 men. The other two are
said to be against McMenigal as
principal and the McNamaras as ac?
complices in the Llewellyn Iron I
works explosion in which no one was
killed.
The inquisitors completed their
work at dusk and the true bills or?
dered will not be filed in court un?
til tomorrow morning. The prisoners
will be arraigned tomorrow afternoon I
and a date then will be set for them
to -enter their pleas.
McManigal was the principal wit?
ness heard by the grand jury today.
He was examined for more than two
hours. Afterwards the grand jury
heard several witnesses besides em?
ployes and officials of the Llewellyn
,Iron Works and Paul Stuperich, pro-j
privtor of a hotel at Sausalito, Cel.,
which the wounded dynamiter, known
a3 J. B. Brie?, visited before the
wrecking of the newspaper plant.
Another witness was Douglas Bur- I
rows, partner of Howard Baxter in
the ownership of the launch, Fas- J
time, which, occording to the detec?
tives, was used to transport the dyna?
mite purchased by the alleged ccn
spiratorte, Stuperich and Burrows I
went into the jail this morning ac?
companied by the district attorney 11
and a stenographer. Mrs. Stuperich I -
and her two daughters went with!
them. j
James McNamara was taken before!
the party and it is asserted that Stu- I
perich and his wife and Burrows all j
identified him as the man they had!
known in Oakland and Sausalito. '
Although It had been announced j
with apparent finality, that Jud.?e I
Borwell would try the alleged dyna- j
miters, It was not definitely stated I
until tonight that the new indict- j
merits would be returned In his de?
partment of the superior court. j
Even yet some doubt Is expressed
that the case will reach the trial
stage before Boardwell. Judge
Boardwell called the editors of the
nt'vspapers and managers of the j
press avociattOBJS into a conference. I
He said he was auxious that the pris- J
oners should have a trial In which
there should not be anything savoring
of unfairness and asked their coop- j
eration.
