Peace overtures for the first time since
the Mexican insurrection began were
laid before Francisco I. Madero, the ’
Insurrecto leader, at his camp west of
Bustillos hacienda today. The result
is still pending with a prospect that
he will either reject or affirm the pro-
posals within a few days. The pre-
liminaries are of an unofficial char-

say further, that he has two little boys
who want him to come hem* and you
ask me if I won't grant him a pardon
and send him, to them.

ter I looked up the papers in his ap-

dations of the Board nf Pardons and

that I promptly marked Upon the

Washington, April 11.—It required
more than two hours in the House of
Representatives today to elect its new
committees. It was the first timein
history that the committees had been
elected.
Former Breaker Cannon taunted the
Democrats with having approved as the
Republican reports on various com-
mittees practically the same men as ha
as Speaker, had put on these commit-
tees in th* lust House. The Republic-
ans charged the Democrats with gross
unfairness in cutting down the minor-
ity membership on the most Important
committees.
Mr. Underwood, the Democratic lead-
er. replied that the Democrats hsd
based the proportionate representation
on the committee striotly according to

"This Is; moreover," he sald, “the

’ This statement was cheered loudly
by the Democrats.
Republican Leader Mann cited a
number of alleged inconsistencies and
his arguments were seconded by CM-*
non and Gardner of Massachusetts,
“That I made mistakes is undoubt-
