The populace didn’t know earl, today whether Madero had fled from the capital. With a following about a thousand loyal troops, took refuge in the -National Palace yesterday, but it was reported day-break that he had fled toward the Eastern coast, taking his family with him. It is also reported that all members of the Cabinet had re signed. The report of Maderos flight is | believed but as yet unconfirmed. Madero remained in the National palace here, or took refuge In the palace at Chnpultepec, It is gener ally assumed that a bombardment of those palaces would follow.

Washington,’ Feb. 10.—Piesider.i Taft and his cabinet met early today to take up the Mexican situation, it was a special session of the cabinet, originally called to consider the President’s message on the budget system, but the startling develop ment of yesterday in Mexico diverted its original purpose. While it was again stated today that there would be no intervention during the remaining hree weeks of the Taft administration, the general staff of the army had their Mexican mobilization plans ready, and the Navy is in readiness 'or any emer- genejr It (feveloped today that the admin istration was not completely sur prised by the uprising In Mexico City yesterday, as it has been expect ing the end of the Madero regime since early last fall. The question to concern the cabi net meeting was the precarious sit uation of Americans, if neither Diaz or Madero couldn’t guarantee pro tection for their lives and property. The principals of international law’ is understood to sanction interven tion, where there is no titular au thority in a country able or willing to assume the duty of quelling an archy, and preventing the pillage and murder of foreigners.

Theoretically the measure dor'< j not touch the right of an individual | to order whiskey for his own per sonal use, or that of his family, but' if he orders It in very large quar.-j titles, under the Webb bill, he lays himself open to suspicion. The most serious complication that will arise in Georgia will be the effect that the new law may have on the locker clubs. They get thousands of gallons of whiskey and liquors annually by Interstate ship ments. In one sense, of course, they do not get the whiskey for sale; it is not offered to the pub lic. But in another sense they do, for in many clubs it Is only by dis pensing whiskey at k profit to its members, that the running expenses of the club can be nk. Whether the whiskey that mem bers pay for at a clt(b comes under the preecription of tlje Webb bill, is a question that will in all proba bility leda to litigation and appeal to the higher courts. raci KTTEIITIOI Lieutenant Xorwald anil His Slater in Holland Costume, Will Spend A Short Time in tile City.
