Mysterious fires have broken out in tbese sheds on three successive Friday nights. The militant soffragets were suspected of arson, but there was no proof of this.

The concert has been arranged by the El Paso Herald for this date and the program will be a select one. Prof. Reyes has worked kd for the past three years getting his boys into shape as musicians and now has an excellent musical organization. He plans to try and arrange for weekly concerts for the band following this one, which The Herald has arrapged for. He will solicit the merchants for funds to keep the concert going.

He will play weekly concerts for $65 a week, and a dollar apiece from 65 badness bosses each week would pay it-It seems as if there should be bo diffknlty abant making the arrangement so that El Paso conld have a concert a week.

MEXICO'S ELECTION SET FOR OCTOBER Washington, D. May 3. Klection for president of Mexico will be conducted Oct. 26 by the Huerta government, according to advices to the Mexl-ican embassy here. The report said the date was agreed upon at a conference between provisional president Huerta, Gen.

Felix Diaz, the cabinet and representatives of all parties in both houses of congress. Gen, Dit5 now is expected to be the leading candidate for the presidency. Many people believe, however, that Gen. Huerta also will enter the race, and it is suggested that Francisco de la Barra, minister for foreign affairs in the provisional government, also may be a candidate. Probably no adherent of the Liberal party, of which the late president Ma-dero was leader, will enter the race unless in the meantime peace has beeu completely restored.

In the event of peace, it is regarded here as almost certain that Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, who claimed to have been elected vicepresident at the general convention just prior to the Madero revolution, will become a candidate. Reports frpm Mexico also suggest governor Venustiano Carranza, leader of the mesent rebellion in northern Mexico. as a presidential possibility, although he has disclaimed presidential ambitions. REBELS BUTCHER AT MATEHTJALA Mexico City.

Mexico, May 3 A whole block of buildings, including 33 structures, were destroyed by dynamite by the rebels when they gained possession of Matehuala on Monday. The news is brought here by mail from San Duis Potosi, the censorship there having prevented telegraphing. The matehuala garrison of 90 soldiers was wiped out in an unequal fight, the rebels being aided by hundreds of miners, who continued in the ranks when the rebels evacuated tho place. Just how many were killed is unknown, but there was house to house fighting, looting, executions and debauchery' of the bloodiest sort. Mariano Zuniga, the jefe politico, wasrexecuted because he refused to cry "Vfva Carranza." The government had shipped 2000 rifles Into the town for its defence, but the guns were still unpacked when the attack occurred.

The rebels seized them. The robberies committed netted the rebels approximately .60,000 pesos, mostly in silver which they carried away on burros. Rebels did not kill William B. Dingwall, an American citizen, at Matehuala. as reported on April 89.

Mr. Dingwall, owner of foundry and director of the Santa Maria de la Pax Mining company, was not even injured during the fighting: AUBERT RRPORTUD SOW TO HAVE SURRENDERED Eagle Pass. Texas, May 3.

All other aliens are limited to the specific rights conferred upon them bv the existing treaties between the United States and the nations of which such aliens are dtizens or subjects. In the case of the Japanese, the bill prohibits ownership of farming or agricultural lands, while permitting them to own residences and factories, manufactories and shops. Lease Farm Lands.

xLease agricultural lands by such aliens are permitted for a period not exceeding three years. There is a question as to whether renewals would be lawful. Aliens ineligible to citizenship cannot inherit land. Upon the death of an alien land holder, his property shall be sold by the probate court and tbj proceeds distributed to his heirs. The state specifically reserves tts soverign right to enact any and all laws In the future with respect to the acquisition of real property by aliens.

At Tucson, Aria, he expects to be joined by his son for a brief chat. Big Victory Says Governor. The passage of the bill by the senate, in spite of the softening clause permitting leases to ineligible foreign ers, is regarded by governor Johnson as a great victory for the people of the state. "We have done the big thing," said the governor this morning. "When this bill has passed the assembly, we shall have made it impossible for aliens who are ineligible to citizenship to get a foothold on the land of California.

"As for leases, I may say that erery bill that has been considered seriously has contained a clause authorizing leases. The Bradford bill, which passed the assembly two weeks ago. and represented the views of the assembly and all who opposed alien ownership at that time provided for five year leases. The present bill reduces the term to three years. AMENDED LAND BILL DISPLEASES JAPAN Secretary of State Bryan Is Ready to Start Rant at Once to Confer With President Wilson.

Washington, D. C. May 3. It was learned here today that the Webb bill in its present form is not satisfactory to the Japanese government. Although there is a possibility of amendment in the lower branch of the legislature or in conference, the conviction obtains that nothing remains to be done from the Japanese point of view at present but await the return to Washington of secretary Bryan.

Then it will be in order to take the matter up diplomatically, probably the first step being to ascertain whether the administration can be counted on to begin a legal test of the constitutionality of the new act. If the question between the United States and Japan should not be settled within the next three months, it was intimated here today that Jiurun might make a formal request Tor the submission of the issue to arbitration at the Hague tribunal. The special arbitration treaty between the two countries negotiated In 1900. which is believed to cover the case, will expire by limitation unless renewed August 21- It will be necessary for Japan to claim the benefits of treaty before that date. Secretary Bryan has telegraphed president Wilson he would leave Sacramento tonight and arrive here Thursday.

Until that time, the president, it is understood, will make no comment. Officials here hope no bill will be (Continued on Page 5.) DAILY RIDDLES QUESTIONS. 1. How is it that a man with long legs cannot travel faster than one with short legs? 2. Transpose something bright into bulky.

The police are charged with being unfamiliar with their duties In many instances and an investigation by tne police commission is urged, The sheriffs office and police ate com- mended for assistance to the grand jurj and Judges Jackson and Isaacs are praised for their manner of conducting the district courts.

Call en City to Act. Wa ll the mttvn h.A nil. lice authorities to suppress this res ervation, ana are convinced dv tne evidence before us that the district would not be open 12 hours after such an order is gien to the police. We are of the opinion that much of the viciousness in this district comes from the sale of liquor therein, and we quote from the state law in regard (to the selling of liquor in bawdy houses.

as follows "That if any person, whether the i er, lessee, manager, housekeeper, pro- nrietor. servant, agent, employe, in mate, visiter or any other person shall sell, give away or drink, or permit to be sold, given away or drunk, any splr-itous. vinous or malt liquors, whether capable of producing intoxication or not. in any bawdy house, disorderly house or assignation house, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction such person or persons shall be punished by Imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not less than 30 dajs nor more than 90 days, and by a fine of not less than 550 nor more than Law In Not Enforced. This biw against the sale of liquor In disorderly houses has not been effectively enforced, although the law Is so framed as to make its enforcement easy As will be seen, the criminal liability does not rest alone with the proprietor or inmate, and proof of sale is not required.

We condemn as absolutely -vicious. the fine system, wherein a fine collector appointed by the mayor collects S18 permonth from each of the unfortunate inmates of the restricted district We believe that the excuse for maintaining th's system, vl: That the revenue is applied to the expense of policing this district, will not be sanctioned by the taxpayers of the city, and believe there is no taxpayer who would not rather have his taxes increased to a slight extent than to be put in the position of profi'ing by the wages of these unfortunate women. "VIcloBMly Corrupt Fine System." The "fine sstem" has been in vogue many years. The system was inherited by the present city administration, who, we believe, are not wholly in sympathy with it. It has been condemned by all Investigating bodies as being viciously corrupting in every way We find that minors are by no means excluded from the restricted district, and that messenger boys from 15 to 18 years of age are permitted to go and come with perfect freedom In our opinion minors should absolutely be prohibited from visiting this district, even when the pretense is made of transacting legitimate business.

rVegro CIhIik and Gambling. We would commend the chief of police and his sergeant for their prompt action in closing the negro clubs where gambling has been open and notorious, where lewd women resort, where liquor Is sold on- Sunday and after midnight, and earnestly recommend that this action be made final and they be not permitted to open again undeii any pretense. Much of our evidence In regard to the red light district has been gathered by the police and we wish to express to them our thanks for the assistance rendered. Road IlouseK Asnalled. Attention is called to the road houses on the county road between El Paso and Tsleta.

This jury has much el-dence that these places are active violators of the law; that liquor is freely sold on Sunday: that they are the resorts of lewd women, and we believe their maintenance to be a menace to young girls and boys Furnished rooms are maintained at these places and dancing is carried on. and an abundance of liquor is sold after midnight and on Sundays, and many times these orgies are kept up all Saturday night until davlight Sunday morning. First, the exhilarating auto ride, then drinks and dancing. then more drinks. then ruin.

In our opinion there is no excuse for the existence of these law violating, demoralizing olaces. and we recommend such action by the county and district attorneys as win lorieit tnese liquor licenses. Danger In Skating Rink. A deplorable case called to tfe atten tion of th' il nd Ji" eiiirhiiies the need of -up i 1 of hating rinks, where juuns girls arc allowed Fill without being properly chaperoned. We recommend an ordinance prohibiting minors of both sexes visiting these places later than 8 p.

unattended. We also endorse the suggestion of the women's societies of the city that both rinks and picture shows be looked after by proper matrons appointed by the city. It isdesirable that picture shows shall be sufficiently well lighted to permit general supervision and we are glad to say that only a small proportion of the 1 Paso picture shows are unsatisfactory In th's respect. Liquor la Restaurants. We also recommend fur tne consideration of the city authorities the adoption of an ordinance prohibiting restaurants from serving liquor to parties of less than four people in private doping rooms.

The system of having private booths where two people alone are served with liquors. Is conducive to much harm. Gambling in "CluUs-- Evidence was given before this grand jury tending to show much gambling in El Paso at the present time. This gambling appears to be carried on in Hotels and In socalled clubs organized for this purposv. It has seemed to this iurv that the nrooer peace officers 1 should take more vigorous action for uie suppression 01 us vice, aim tne matter is respectfully submitted to the next grand jury for further investigation.

Clubs As Imxr Violators. It has been called to tne attention of, this jury that in a number of cases, socalled clubs operating in SI Paso have been nothing more than a cover for the violation of the Sunday liquor law; that there is a distribution by messenger service of Hquor on Sunday; that many saloons in the lower part of town are dispensing drinks on Sunday, thereby bringing discredit to the saloon men who maintain a proper observance of the law. Illegal Pell Tax Payments. Three indictments for Illegal poll tax paying were found by us, and we were grven evMeheo that poll taxes have been Issued to men who did not pay for them in person. In direct violation, of the law.

We find that loans have beea made by polled officers an4 ethers' for poll tax paying and wo have evidence that poll tT Tagatoll ar iTopnrlaM fcrnrri been Toiirir l(i jMsts uiTiilofl unable to appear In 4ne eottctoif office. We are advised by our district attorney that deputies who issue poll tax receipts illegally are not punishable under the election laws; that the penalty applies only when the tax collector himself issues tbese receipt. In person. This opens the way to the issuing of many illegal receipts, and we most earnestly recommend that more care be taken in the colle. tor office to Insure that poll tax receipts be issued only in person.

to the voters entitled to receive them. As to the Office. We are glad to say that we have had the full support of the sheriff, but we emphasize the importance of all possi- I ble promptness on the part of the sher if rs olflce in arresting persons In- 1 dieted bv the mund inrv. In nn it has seemed likely that the delay of zs or 39 days, said to oe unavoidable, may have prevented the recovery of valuable stolen property. Jackson and Isancks Commended.

Upon the selection of juries depends a great part of the effort for law enforcement. We wish to commend judge Dan M. Jackson for his care in the selection of juries and for Issuing such orders as prevent professional jurors from serving in his court. Our thanks are given Judge S. J.

Isaacks for his advice and instructions during his brief attendance on our court. Coming here an entire stranger, his grasp of the true situation has been of much assistance to us. County Criminal Docket. Wr believe that one week in each two months usually allotted for the trial of criminal cases in the county court is often too short and we recommend that the county attorney request the county judge at the approaching term to set apart a greater number of days for the clearing of the criminal docket. Crime and Liquor.

We have given much attention to the condition of affairs in the Mexican section known as Chihuahuita, and we believe that nearly all of the crime there is attributable to the sale of liquors in that locality. Twenty saloons are now operating In this small section. We have the statement of the chief of police that If the liquor traffic was done away with in Chihuahuita, that crime would almost cease and the expense of policing that section would be greatly reduced. "Clean Id We would also call the proper authorities' attention Jo the condition of the streets in that section and urge that for sanitary reasons a thorough cleaning should be had, and we recommend that if lawful, both county and city nrisoners be nut to work in thor oughly cleaning streets, alleys and I premises in tne Mexican section. Compulsory School Attendanee.

We are also of the opinion that the city, if lawful, should provide for school attendance, that a truant officer should patrol the city, and that more schools with manual training facUitleb be provided in the Mexican quarter for tne thousands of children now roaming the streets Police Are Lnlnfernied. We endorse the suggestion of the chief of police that meads be provided for the systematic instruction of offi-cers as to their duties We found that (Continued on Next Page.)
