On the body of a man found in the river last night was a Maccabee receipt made1 out to G. Meyer-son, Man. The man apparently is 35 years old. On one wrist are tattooed the initials "Gk M.M The body is at -the morgue. It is believed the man was drowned while bathitg.

the Insurrectos Began an Awful Slaughter of the Orientals. T0RRE0N WAS SACKED. It is Said the Rebel Leaders Made no Attempt to Control Those Under Them. Juarez, Mexico, May Mexican suffragettes, espousing the socialistic cause of the rebels in Lower California, are making street addresses in Juarez, exhorting the populace to desert the Madero cause. Madero, they declare, does not represent the choice the Mexico people in their cry for a socialistic Utopia.

Senor Madero, advised of the activities of the three women, declined to stop them, declaring that freedom of speech henceforth would prevail in Mexico. Juarez, Mexico, May 3. Revised 'estimates today of the casualties of the battle of Juarez place the total number killed at 180 with 250 wounded- Of these the federals lost 150 killed and 100 wounded. The number of dead are far out of proportion to those wounded, as battles generally go, owing probably to the close range of the fire. Eagle Pass, Texas.

May 23. The Chines? at Torreon, Mexico, werfc under arms when the rebel troops entered that city May loth, and fired the first huHets that culminated in a concentrated attack by the insurrecto soldiers and the practical extermination of the Chinese colony in that city, according to W. T. Lampe, editor of the Torreon Enterprise. Mr.

Lampe arrived in Eagle Fass last night. Xo anti-American sentiment was manifested by the revolutionists, he declares, and no foreigners but Chinese were killed. Official reports reaching here tell the story of a massacre of 206 Chinese at Torreon, following the rebel occupation of that city last week. Upon receipt of the news at the Chinese legation, the charge d'affaires immediately made formal representations to the Mexican government. i i Details of the Horror.

details received of the three-day battle and sacking of the city of Torreon are replete with incidents of cruelty and indicate that the rebel leaders did i not hold their men in control, but turned them loose to prey on a defenseless people. The official advices do not give the number of dead, but, taking the' 200 Chinese as a basis, it is probable that the number is large. The last day of the Torreon battle was May 15th. On that day, General Le-jero retired with his federal forces, and the rebels entered the city: Citizens found themselves utterly unable to control the mob and' reports 'received) toflay indicate that scores of innocent residents were added to the list of victims, Always antagonistic to the yellow race, the Mexican rebels started a riot. A great part of the business of Torreon is conducted by Chinese, some of whom are wealthy, and, according to reports, the rioters shot down or stabbed-without mercy every Oriental encountered.

i i 'j Unable to Force Indemnity. That the Chinese charge d'affaires will be able to get indemnity for many of the victims is doubted here, for since Sir Chentung Liang Cheng visited this country five years ago and advised his countrymen to become Mexican citizens, almost all have taken out naturalization papers. Minister of Foreign Relations de la Barra had not received last night any word from Judge Carbajal that Francisco I. Madero, had finally approved the cabinef as suggested. As soon as Madero's acceptance of the cabinet is received.

President Diaz will resign, it Vas said. It has been tentatively agreed that his resignation will be made public on May 24th. No effort is made to disguise the fact that General Diaz will leave the country at an early date. It is expected that he will 'spend several months visiting Europe and it is reported that a passage has already been arranged-Jor him. On notification that peace had been agreed to, the management of the National Railways immediately began reconstruction.

It was officially stated last night the Mexican Central would be open to traffic within ten days and that the International, between Torreon and Ciudad Torfirio Diaz, would be open within three days, Fears For Safety of Americans. Ciudad Porfiro May 23. The manager of the railroad hotel Foon Chuck, is advised of a wholesale slaughter of his countrymen at Torreon. This information is from Foon Chuck's cousin, and is dated Torreon, May 16th. The cousin says four Chinese were killed at his laundry, nine at the Railroad Hotel and 32 at his farm, and that 179 Chinese and seventy Japanese were shot down in the streets.

Rumors have it also that one German and twelve Spaniards were killed at the Francis Hotel and that a number of government sympathizers also were killed. It is rumored also that several Americans lost their lives in the rioting, but this has not been confirmed. Chuck declares any one caught on the streets was killed. A number of Americans were reported in Torreon and fear for their safety is. felt.

Will Be Guided By Junta. Lower California, May 23. General Rhys Pryee, in command of the independent insurrectos who captured Tijuana last night said that he recognized only the authority of the Los Angeles junta of the Mexican liberal party, under whose direction the insurgent operations in Lower California have been conductedTp He declarM that he would be guided by the wishes of the junta as to whether hostilities should cease in Lower California with the signing of the peace agreement at Juarez. Thw Los Angeles junta has nevw acknowledged the leadership' of Madero. CHARGE DROVE WOMAN i VIOLENTLY INSANE.

Brambach, Saxony, May 23. Driven temporarily insane by an accusation, of theft a woman here today killed her five children and then committed Twenty-Six Democrats and Two Republicans Voted For Tammany Man. Albany, May 23. By a vote of 28 to 9 the senate last night confirmed the nomination by Governor Dix of Daniel i F. Cohalan as court justice in New York city to fill the vacancy caused by the election of James A.

O'Gorman to the United States senate. Two republicans, Senators Argetsinger and Ormrod of Monroe, voted with the 2 democratic senators present for con-1 Urination, while Senator Duhamel, the Independence senator, was recorded with eight republicans in opposition. Inasmuch as Senator Roosevelt and his insurgent followers in the senate had opposed Mr. Cohalan as a candidate for United States senator, it had been predicted that they would oppose his con. firmation as.

justice, but they expected Duhamel voted with the regulars. Daniel F. Cohalan has been known as a legal adviser to Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. He 43 years old and is regarded as probably the best educated man among Tammany leaders.

His family came from Ireland sixty years ago and settled in Orange county whence he and four brothers have since come to New York, all to practice law. All five boys were graduated from Manhattan College and all played on the-baseball team. While still in college Daniel Cohalan started in politics by speaking at public meetings. Cohalan himself has never sought public office, but has been one of the strong leaders of the Tammany society. PROVISIONS.

LOOMIS WAS IN LINE.

Senator Burd Not on Hand But Tain-many Claims He Was Tor Murphy's Man. Special to The Commercial: Albany, May 23. There was a long' delay prior to the metering of the senate lat night and it leaked out after the session that it was -due to the fact' that Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose active opposition to William. F.

Sheehan. with the other insurgents, accomplished the election of a Tammany justice and ex-eachem to the United States senate, was being labored with in the office of lientenant'governor. A the great pacificator and recognized agent of the up-state democracy Lieutenant-Governor Co away laid down the law to young Senator Roosevelt and he came meekly forth and voted to confirm Daniel Cohalan, the recognized adviser and Intimate associate of Boss Murphy. It was hard enough for Roosevelt and hie associates to explain how they could vote for O'GormiJi for senator after der claring that their whole Opposition to Sheehan was because he representel Murphy's bossism and the interests Murphy represented. How they can square either consciences or their former protestations after voting for one so closely associated with Murphy to be a supreme court Justice is a matter of conjecture save on one ground and that is the utter hollowness of all democratic reform pretenses.

Senator Bard was not present but the Tammany men say that he would have voted for Cohalan had he been present. Senator iJoomis, who could not vote for Sheehan, voted to confirm Cohalan without an effort. His constituents' in Buffalo have no trouble in analyzing Senator Looniis's brand of reform democracy. Buffalo Reformers at Odds? It is said here that the Buffalo, advocates of commission government, even Knowlton Mixer, are at loggerheads over the proposition to take out the initiative; and recall out of the Buffalo commission charter bill. Some insist that these features are essential.

Others, among them Mr. Mixer, regard them as non-essentials and think the charter would be better with them both ut and suggest eliminating them in order to attract some republican votes. The bill is on today's calendar in the honse. Senator Ramsperger has amended the new Buffalo terminal commission by substituting William. II.

Crosby for Mr. Gerrans. The assembly calendar today contains the Buffalo ward boundariesiill which in the, senate has been amended to make it like-the. assembly bill, the Buffalo seawall strip; bill, the election board bill, the Burd Erie jurors qualifications bill which seeks to enlarge the list and Jackson's to allow villages to have local option votes on the liquor question. Senator Sullivan and Assemblyman Hoey have introduced a bill to amend section 7 of the insurance law by providing that the expenses of examinations or other investigations of the affairs of an Insurance company shall until paid or remitted by the company examined, continue to be a lien upon the real and personal of the company and shall, be preferred in the payment of all other charges.

As to Final Adjournment. Speaker Frisbieand Leader Smith forgot to prepare that final adjournment resolution fixing June 2d as the final tentative datt last night but this morning they offered it and it was adopted. This means merely that the senate will hold the resolution till the first of June and then decide whether they can adjourn by -the loth or later. The senate would not work in the hot weather last night except to confirm Cohalan. as.

supreme court justice to succeed James A. O'Gorman. Colonel Joseph F. Scott of Elmira, who' was named as superintendent of state prisons to succeed C. V.

Collins, resigned, is not endorsed by Tammany, but he will be confirmed. Tammany "politicians who wanted ex-Mayor Conway, of Troy are disgruntled because they fear the prisons cannot be used for patronage grabbing under Colonel Scott. Assemblyman Wende says that; the Erie county board of elections bill does not Suit him and should not be passed but he will offer no amendment to it. It was. put over.

last night tilT today by Mr. Jackson, because the house was too light to' attempt to concur in senate amendments. TO Elmira Man Nominated For State Superintendent of Prisons Albany, May 23. Governor Dix sent to the senate last night the nomination of Joseph F. Scott of Elmira as superintendent of state prisons to fill the vacancy caused "hy the resignation of Cornelius T.

"Collins of Troy. The nominal tion referred to the senate finance committee. Colonel Scott is considered one of the most eminent penologists in the United States. He was superintendent 6f the state prison of Massachusetts at Concord for many years and became superintendent of the Elmira reformatory in 1903, succeeding Z. R.

Governor Dix sent a letter to Thomas Mott Osborne today accepting his as state forest, fish and game commissioner, MUCH IMPRESSED WITH I THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.

New York, May 23. Baron -de Constant is much impressed with the woman suffrage movement in this country. Women militia and women soldiers were among the possibilities which he discussed at the Economic Club banquet here last iiight. "If there are to be wars," I the baron declared, "I should not be surprised' to see women on the field of battle. people do not laugh at the suffragettes any more, but encourage them." 1 FOB DIRECT VOTE So AssertMinority of Members of Senate Committee on Judiciary, Washington, D.

May 23. Xo popular demand exists, for change in the constitution as to deprive congress of the right to supervise the election of United States senators. So assert a' minority of the members' of the senate committee on the judiciary in a report just filed. The report opposes the withdrawal of such right of supervision from congress as is contemplated in the iJan for the selection of senators by direct vote of the people. It is signed by Senators Clark (Wyoming), Nelson, Dillingham, Sutherland, Brandegee and Hoot, all republicans.

The report ignores the! question of direct elections and deals entirely witn that of supervision, which is declared to be the more important feature of the house election' resolution! which is now before the senate on a report from the majority of the judiciary committee.

FRONTIER 3178 HY OPD President Taft to Make Address at Dedication of Handsome Structure. POLICE PRECAUTIONS. Great Care to Protect Both the Person of the President and Treasures of Library From Harm. New York, May 23.

The New York Public Library, ready for use after ten years' labor and an expenditure of or more, occupied the center of public attention here today. Early iu the morning the preparations for the official opening were completed and the building was ready to receive President Taft, Governor Dix, Mayor Gaynor and the 500 other notables amoug the invited guests. The police arrangements included the massing of 500 men on foot and horses to keep order in the square at Fifth aveniie and 4'2d street which the' big nt-w building occupies. A picked squad of mounted policemen, and braid, was det resplendent in brass iled to escort Presi- dent Taft from the Pennsylvania, railroad station to the marble entrance hall where the reception to city, state and national officials was scheduled at 2 o'clock. The formal exercises of the opening which the 15,000 invited guests were privileged to attend were set for 4 o'clock.

The police orders were to allow ho one to enter the library who was not provided with an admission ticket, to allow no canes or umbrellas and not to permit a camera inside the building. Elaborate precautions for the protection of the President were insisted upon. The visitors were only permitted to pass through the great marble' hallways and a few of the larger rooms.
