Chicago, May 6.—.Judge A. .1. Pe
tit ,in the circuit court today, -de
clared. that the Illinois senate could
not force inspection of the private

W. C. Cummins, after they had been
arrested on charges of contempt of
the State senate in refusing to pre
sent their accounts to the Helm
committee ‘investlgatin the election
of United States Senator Lorimer.
Tilden was named by Clarance Funk,
of the International Harvester Com
pany, as a person to whom he was di
rected to send a check for $10,000 to
make up a fund of $100,000 alleged to
have been used in electing United
States Senator Lorimer.

Fez, Morocco, April 30, by Courier
to Tangier, May 6.—The arrival of
Capt. Bremond’s French column has
not changed the situation and the in
vestment of the capitol continues.
The rebel horsemen, who are beyond
reach of artillery, have cut oft the
food supplies. The sultan’s troops are
worn out with the constant skirmish
ing and watchfulness.
The rebel chiefs have a growing
moral advantage since now all Mo
rocco knows that the sultan is pen
ned up in the capital and that his
loyal troops are unable to move out
side the range of their artillery. The
rebels are now obtaining the upper
hand throughout the country.
Tribes heretofore loyal are joining
the rebellion through fear that the
villages of those refusing will be
raided.
The arrival of the French relief ex
pedition will secure the entry of pro
visions and the Safety of capital,
but the political outlook is confus
ed and uncertain.

No Progress Made
In Camonists Tiial
By Associated Press.
Viterbo, Italy, May 6.—Two of the
most interesting of the alleged
Cammorists charged with the murder
ol Gennaro Cuccolo and his wife con
fronted Gennaro Abbatemaggio, the
informer, today. They were Luigi
Arena and the priest, Ciro Vitozzi.
At the conclusion of the accusations
and denials it appeared to the au
ditors that no, progress had been
made by either the prosecution or
the defense.
Arena, according to the theory of
the state, based on the revelations of
Abbatemaggio, had been sent to
prison after his betrayal by Cuccolo,
who was offender because Arena re
fused to share with him the profits
of a robbery. Arena wrote to his fel
low Camorrists, setting forth his
grievance and demanding XJuccolo’s
death. All of this was vehemently
denied today by Arena, who denounc-
e'd the informer as a manufacturer of
evidence and the paid tool of the
carbineers.
According to the testimony of At-
batemaggio, he had heard Vitozzi, the
priest who is one of the accused, and
Enrice Alfano, alleged head of the
society, discussing the Cuccolo mur
ders at 10:30 o’clock on the morning
after the assassinations. Vitozzi re
plied that he could prove that on
the day and the hour mentioned he
was at the cemetery of Poggiorealo

Efforts to bring the democratic ma-

Mr&. Sarah J. Frazier, widow of Mr.
Marshal L. Frazier, died this morning
at 5:45 o’clock at her home on West
Trade street.
The passing of this good woman
marked the close*of a long period of
suffering. For ten weeks she had hov.

greatly at times. A strong constitu

stubborn resistance, prolonging htr
life at times when it was despaired of.
The end was calm and peaceful, Mrs.
Frazier’s bright spirit going hence on
this perfect May day.

El Paso, Texas, May 6.—The an-
sw^er to the re(iuest of Francisco I.
Madero, .Ir., leader of the Mexican
revolutionists, that Pr^..ident Diaz
make public announcement, following
private assurances oi' his intention
to resign, was received today by
Judge Carbajal, official peace envoy
of tho federal administration.
It came in a long telegram of three
typewritten sheets signed by Presi
dent Diaz, but what it contained or
when it would be made pulplic were
questions which Judgo Carbajal ear
ly today said he could not answer.
Judge Carbajal notified the rebel
peace commissioners of the fact that
he had received a message that would
warrant a confercnce and arrangt-
ments were made lor an immediate
meeting. The rebel commissioners,
having read in today's papers The As
sociated Press dispatch from Mexico
City stating* that the resignation of
President Diaz was likely to be an
nounced today, said they were con
fident of receiving through Judge
Carbajal some confirmation of that
report. ,
At tho insurrecto headquarters
across the Rio Grande, Madero read
with beaming eyes the following
head line:
“Early resignation of Diaz reigarded
as certain in Mesioo City.”
Medero scanned the j)age for de
tails. Impulsively he snatched the tel
ephone receiver and in a moment was
in conversation with his brother, Gus
tavo Madero, at El Paso.
To an Associated: Press correspond
ent bo said be would, vespwe com
ment on the news dispatches till la
ter in the lay. He expressed his grati
fication, however, at what the dis
patches se^med to indicate and said
he was anxiously waiting advices as
to the contents of the answer of Pres
ident Diaz. He added that if the an
swer was favorable he would com
municate immediately with General
Navarro at Juarez concerning a pro
longation of the armistice, which was
scheduled to expire at noon today.
With the question of President
Diaz’s retirement out of the way, the
rebel peace commissioners bav« ex
pressed the belief that a peace agree
ment could be spedily arranged. The
Mexican government has bestowed
upon Judge Carbajal power to ac
cept the principles of negotiation and
effective suffrage promulgated by the
revolutionists as well as their general
demands respecting the | administra
tion of the states and municipalities.
Little difficulty is expected of
forming other terms of the agree
ment, as they comprise minor points
such as the payment of subscription
of certain indemnities caused by
the revolution and compensation by
the government for other losses and
withdrawal of armed forces firom the
field.
