Phone 776 THAT WONDERFUL SPEECH OF REP. UD KITGHIN Continued from Page One. The American customs house was under fire continually and the citizens sheltered there and took refuge in a deep' ditch. At 10:30 the firing ceased, with the rebels holding, every position which they occupied at the beginning of the battle. The rebels began digging new trenches at once.

"Red" Lopez reported the rebel casualties in the, trenches light. American troops had forced Douglas residents back to Sixth street, within three blocks- of the center of the city.

Mexican revolutionists, designed to draw from the Mexican government some definite expression with regard to the establishment of official peace negotiations became known here today.

It was learned by concentrating almost the entire Insurgent army now in the state of Chlhauhau under General Francisco I. Madero, in the vicinity of Jaurez, operations similar to those witnessed at Agua Prieta last week and which it is believed will further involve the Federal government in an embarrassing situation concerning the American border, were In contemplation. The pause in the move has been brought about by Dr. Vas-quez Gomez, head of the revolutionist agency here, but the insurgents in the field have declared a delay may be fatal and are urging immediate action. The rebel leaders, cognizant of the informal negotiations with the Mexican government in which Dr.

Gomez has been engaged, likewise are said to have deferred their attack on Jaurez to learn the outcome of the negotiations. The insurgents have made represen-tions to the federal government that they have a force of nearly 3,000 men, far outnumbering the Federal garrison at Jaurez, and that the only alternative for General Nevarro and his troops is to evacuate the city. It is not believed here that the Mexican government will give General Nevarro any instructions to abandon his well fortified position in Juarez. Dr. Gomez has warned his colleagues, however, to proceed cautiously and likewise has advised the Mexican City authorities that timely action on peace proposals would prevent a heavy loss of life.

The purpose of the insurgents moving on Jaurez is the establishment of headquarters there. They declare they would not be unwilling, if in pos session of Juarez, to consider peace proposals, being then within easy tel egraphic communication with El Paso, San Antonio, and Washington, where the leaders of the insurrections are in charge of revolutionist Firing Resumed at 11 O'clock. Firing was resumed at 11 o'clock. The Federal machine guns were still out. of commission.

Mrs. Alice Gattliff, the American wo man, who remained in Agua Prieta with the Stars and Stripes flying above her little curio store, telephoned 'to Douglas at 10:40 a. m. that she was still unhurt. "Red" Lopez, the insiir-recto chief who had been in her store, told her that the Federals advancing across the open ground had lost heavily in killed and wounded.

Cooper, brother of Mr. C. H. Cooper of Charlotte, was instantly killed in Key West, Florida, yesterday afternoon by coming in contact with an electrical apapratus attached to a pole outside of the army post at which he was stationed. He fell twenty feet, head foremost, but physicians say that death occurred before he struck the ground, the electrical shock killing him.

The dead man was second lieutenant in the United States army, having been appointed by the state of Minnesota through her representatives in congress. He was a graduate of West Point and by his class mates loved and admired. His brother here is a well-known barber and his mother and father live in Minneapolis. They are Mr. and Mrs.

The body will be shipped to Oriano, Virginia, for interment, this being the site of the old family burying ground of the family. The Charlotte brother will leave this afternoon at 6 o'clock for the Old Dominion to meet the corpse of the young man whose sudden death caused such a shock. Graduating with high honors from West Point the deceased immediately secured a position in the army as second lieutenant. He was a natural electrician and when he tried to fix the switches at the top of the pole none of his companions throught anything of his performance. When he tumbled in a heap at the bottom they were shocked beyond measure of expression.

H. H. Dinsmore and Mr. Elmer J. Baxter, -two prominent Pennsylvan-ians, are the city today and have been here several cays looking over the city and county a view to locating here.

Mr. W. M. Long, chairman of the county commissioners, took the two gentlemen on a tour of several sections of the county in his auto this afternoon, leaving the court house at 2 o'clock. Mr.

took them first over the Dixie and Steel Creek roads, round-, ing the belt of fine macadamized road in that part of the county. On the return from that section they were to go out the Satesville road and perhaps return to the city on the Derita road. The journel would probably be continued to other nearb points of interest. Mr. Dinsmore is from Greens-burg, and a prominent attorney there being also the attorney of hla county.

Mr. Baxter Is a prominent real estate, loan and trust officer In Greensburg. They have spent some days here and may locate here permanently, or, at anw rate make investments. They would both make valuable additions to Charlotte's business life. Sermon to W.

E. C. BRYANT.) (By H. Washington, April Saturday afternoon, when Mr. Kitchin of the North Carolina delegation was pouring hot shot into the democrats who intend to vote against the reci procity treaty he was stung by uepre-sentative Gudger.

Mr. Kitchin had quoted from a speech made in the sen ate in March by. Senator Simmons and was charging that "a North Caro lina congressman" was distributing this speech in the state. He bad, said that the statements therein were misleading. Mr.

Gudger rose and asked: "Do you mean to say that I am doing that?" "I did not say who," responded Mr. Kitchin. "Well name your man, and stop reflecting on the delegation," shouted Mr. Gudger, a little red about the cheeks. Mr.

Kitchin explained that it was against the rules of the house to take a senator's name in vain. This, of course, told. -the story, and the speech was resumed. In his speech to show that the reci procity bill was democratic and friendly, toward the farmer and people generally Representative Kitchin quoted from arguments made by Vance, Vest, Beck and He declared that the contention that it would hurt the farmer was a pretext, an excuse, and that the claim that the tariff helped the farmer was a delusion, a fraud and a snare to catch votes. He quoted from a half dozen reports of former ways and means committees to support his charge.

Vance, Vest, Beck and Simmons, he said, had called the "farmers' iariff a humbug, and was designed to Induce farmers to favor the entire tariff scheme. Mr. Kitchin's speech took a decided local turn at times. His references to Senator Simmons were not by name or in criticism of any views that the latter expressed in recent days but in praise of his views, in other years. In a speech made at Snow Hill, Greene county, In 1902, when he was 1 chairman of the state democratic ex ecutive committee, Simmons said: "The truth is, the whole republican ar-gunjent that the tariff regulates the price of farm products is false.

Every corn and wheat and cotton farmer knows that the price of these crops is regulated by the laws of supply and demand; that we; export of these crops one-fifth to one-third of all we produce and that the, price of-the whole crop is regulated 'by the price which the surplus' brings in foreign In the same speech Simmons asserted "Our chief raw materials are cotton, corn, wheat and other pro ducts of the farm, which cannot be benefited by protection because we export them in large quantities. This. speech was given wide circulation in. the campaign of that year by the state committee. Mr.

Kitchin said it 'was "one of the best made on the subject. In the senate January Mr Kitchin declared, Mr. Simmons stowed, laai mft Tarirr rnn nrt fFnt thai: price of farm but in his speech March 3 he said the removal rrvni- 5 4 "I quote from the earlier speeches of Mr. Simmons to show -that I am said JVIr.
