F TESTIMONY 1 OF SOLDIERS Slain Men Met Their Fate With Extreme Bravery, Both Re ports Declare. WASHINGTON, April 3.—From two widely different sources come the first apparently authentic details of the tragedy and treachery which marked the overthrow of the Madero Govern ment by Huerta and Felix Diaz in Mexico City. One of these reports was received in Washington to-day by a close personal friend of the man who submitted it. The writer is a Mexican who has held a high of ficial position in Mexico for years. He was not identified with the Made ro faction; in fact, he took no part In politics. He is at present a refu gee in the United States because he took no pains while in Mexico City to conceal his opinion of the killing of President Madero. The other informant is a warm personal friend of many of the Ma dero family, and was on most inti mate terms with President Madero, although lie held no official position. He has spent several days in Wash ington under an assumed name. Both he and the ex-official hac. exceptional opportunities for discov ering the facts. Each gained his In formation concerning the death of Gustavo Madero from soldiers who witnessed it. The report submitted by the refu gee official is laconically headed "Facts." While diction of the trans lation is imperfect, the meaning is clear. “Facte” Submitted. Concerning the death of Gustavo Madero the refugee said: "Gustavo and I were not on par- ticlularly friendly terms. I might say that we disliked each other. But he certainly died like a Caballero. One of the soldiers who was in the court vard when the murder took place told me all about it., They brought Gustavo out. He was blink ing as the light struck his one eye His glass eye had been jerked out bv Huerta himself when he was ar rested in the Gambrino restaurant. "Gustavo demanded by what right thev were treating him so roughly, and told the officer in charge that, if he would give him a gun or a sword he would send one or two of his cap- tors to hell before he died. For an swer one of the soldiers struck him in the eye with a bayonet and then gouged it out. Others of the soldigrs thrust him in the groin with their bayonets and one man used a keen knife. And all the time Gustavo was shouting “Cowards!" and “Traitors!" and imploring some one to hand a sword, or even a machete. “ITS wasn't tortured long. He was dragged over to the heavy wall, where he stood, still cursing his tormentors, weak from loss of blood, but still up right. Then they turned a machine gun on him and it was all over. His body was absolutely unrecognizable.” Francisco Madero Brave. Of Francisco Madero the speaker saiil: "The President had shown on many occasions absolute ignorance of the meaning of physical fear. He showed strong during his last days. The story of his riding at the head of his troops to the National Palace has already been published, hut one incident. I think, has never been printed. Dur ing his approach to the palace his big gray horse was shot from under him. Madero drew bis feet from the stir rups and slipped to the ground un hurt. He calmly walked over to a soldier who was riding near him and dragged the man from his horse and mounted again and rode on. “Francisco l#new that he was fight- ing against odds, but be wotildn t ad mit It by Ills manner. Of course he was suspicious of 'Huerta by that time. But he 'bluffed' his way through to his office in the palace. As he walked through the guard room, just inside the entrance of the pal ace. he noticed the expression on the fares of the soldiers on guard. He didn't hesitate. He faced them and said; ,, 'Here I am, Francisco Madero, lawful President of the Republic. If you are going to shoot me you have a chance to do it now.' "Then, after a silence, the little man walked unconsciously out into the corridor and proceeded to his desk.

WASHINGTON, May 3.—Mrs. Key Pittman, wife of the new Senator from Nevada, will soon join her hus band here. The riding clubs are anticipating Mrs. Pittman as a member, as sho was celebrated as a fine horsewom an. She will, no doubt, also join the Daughters of the American Revolu tion, being eligible as a direct de scendant of General Horatio Gates, of Revolutionary fame. She is a na tive of California, her father. Edgar R. Gates ; having been an extensive dealer in redwood timber of that State. The family is well known in social and financial circles. She at tended a girls’ seminary in Eureka, Cal., and later studied music in San Francisco. Traveled in Klondike. Mr. Pittman bears the distinc tion of being the only woman to enter Washington official life who has traveled through many thousand miles of Klondike snows. A few years ago she went to Alas ka with her brother, Edgar Gates, who was interested in mines near Dawson. They built boats at Linder- man, wnich were placed on sleds and tarried down to where the waters were open on the Yukon, and through floating ice they arrived at Dawson. It was here she first met Mr. Pitt man and was soon after engaged to him. Later she made the return trip to meet her fiance at Nome, since he was actively engaged in leglil battles pending at Nome and it was impos sible fer him to leave. This mo mentous trip was made with two- dog-team driver- over the icy Yukon in midwinter. Mrs. Pittman is of vigorous physique and withstood the hardships of the cold and country with ease. Senator Pittman in speaking of this said: “I think women, and espe cially the women of the Klondike, have greater powers of endurance than the men. TJp there in the cold countries many times' when the men were ‘played out’ the women had con siderably the best of them as to en ergy. Out-of-Door Health. “We both have ^een many deeds of daring there, and perhaps the health and vigor Which Mrs. Pittman enjoys are due to the fact that she spends a great deal of her time out of doors. She is a fine companion and has taken a Keen interest in rill ing, driving, fishing, hunting and motoring with me, though she has also had a literary training. “While not a militant suffragette she believes with me that women should have the ballot. In truth, I included suffrage in all my speeches during the campaign in my State. I think the one fundamental reason of my efforts in behalf of suffrage in our State was our particular political field “The suffrage women of our State have been particularly active, and my wife is heartily in accord with them. She believes in the untiring energy and stability of women when they are healthy." Character Revealed by Nose, Says Expert Professor H. J.

You can read it there, even though the rest of his head is concealed. At least that is the way Professor H. J.

Ma$r 3.—A tall young man walked into the office of J. J. Butler, trainmaster of the Chicago & Alton, and introduced him self as John Bott, of Godfrey. “You saved my life seventeen years ago and I want to thank you.” Bott said. “This is the first opportunity I have had.” In 1896 Butler was a fireman on the same road. running between Bloomington and St. Louis. One morning he and his engineer were horrified to see a baby standing be tween the rails. The engineer ap plied the air brakes, but it was plain that he could not stop in time. Fireman Butler, like a flash, went through’the window «*f th^ cab and along the running board, dropping to the pilot. Standing upon the lower step of the pilot and holding cn with one hand, he reached out with tr • other and lifted the babv up wnd out of danger.

DaCunha, formerly of Montclair, N. J., who a few years ago came into national prominence through advo cating a plan of compulsory marriage for all men over thirty and women over twenty-five, the soul-mating to be done by lot at the instance of the municipal or State Government, but completely repudiated his own pet scheme and retracted every statement he had made in exploiting it. Now he admits and insists that the old-fashioned plan where romance is left untrammelled and little Cupid does the pairing is the best plan after all, everything being considered. Why? He’s married now. Theorist Breaks Rule. Unknown to his friends, this the orist stole away like a modern Romeo and married the woman of his own individual choice on the 31st of December. The now Mrs. DaGunha was for merly Miss Ellen I. Swain, of Santa Monica. In two glaring respects DaCunha’s marriage was contrary to his care fully worked out plan to put an end to the fear of race suicide and build up an American race. Lacking in the mechanical, arbitrary method of bringing husband and wife together, as he advocated, his marriage had the element of romance and it was a de liberate selection, on the part of both —for the two had been friends for over fifty years. He is seventy-six. and says it would be impertinent for any one to ask his wife’s age. And to cap the climax, the mar riage was solemnized at the very place where the atmosphere is per meated with romance, where young, romantic couples flock from far and near—Santa Ana DaCunha, who made a good-sized fortune out of his profession as ar. architect, having erected some of New York’s first skyscrapers, and having doubled this amount several times through investments in New York real estate, thought he would wander about aimlessly over the world for a while. So he started for Panama, but when he reached New Orleans he had a cold, and therefore, thereupon, made up his mind that California was the place. Here he came, and met his old friend, Miss Swain. That was on De cember 1. A short time afterwards he decided he would not depend on the God of Fortune in the matter of matrimony, that he would not take his chance at shaking up a numbe of names in a box and marrying ac cording to the draw—he popped the question. Secretly Married. They Mere to be married in June but on the last day of the year, on a little visit to Santa Ana, they wer* walking along the street. “She pitied me.” said DaCunha, laughingly, yes terday, in relating his story. “I am old and she pitied me, and pity is sometimes the ki'i of love.” “Do you still adhere to your scheme regarding compulsory marriages in the light of your own actions?” he was asked. “No, the plan is all wrong. It never could have worked. It was imprac tical. and besides, happiness in mar ried life cannot be secured that way.’ DaCunha’s systematic plan, which he discussed at great length a few years ago, was based on two premises. First thar marriage, at best, was a lotterq. Second that there would never be an American race, as such, unless immigration was stopped, and marriage was forced. His theory was at once taken up and widely discussed by women’s clubs and ministers in all sections of the country, and he received hundreds and hundreds of letters from all sec- tions relative to his proposed plan He even at one time stated that he was contemplating drafting a bill, to be introduced in the New Jersey Leg islature, which absolutely prohibited single blessedness after a man had passed 'he age of thirty or the wom an had arrived ac the age of twenty- five. the l>«U»y I rifnine i rs age. Legless Man Proves Wonderful Farmer Missouri Man Overcomes Physical Handicap and Makes Suc cess of Life. PARIS, MO.. May 3.—A young man with no legs, yet who can traverse a county at pleasure, getting about al most as well as those who do have legs, and who manages and does his part of the actual work on a farm of 240 acres, is one of the prodigies Monroe county has given the world. His name is Earl Craft. He is a son of Charles E. Craft, liv ing near Paris, and he was born on a Monroe County farm 25 years ag >.

He can hook or unhook a tear;, ride a horse, drive a gang plow, cui- tivator <>r binder, and do almost any thing else to be done on a farm, save gather corn, at which he is not very handy.

TO SAVE GIRLS Los Angeles Puts Two Female Detectives at Work to Guard Delinquents. I,DS ANGELES, May 3.—Aiming to protect young women and avoid delinquency among them as far as possible, two women plainclothes offi cers have been appointed to com mence work in this city May 1. Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells, the first police woman ever appointed, and Mrs. Ra chel Shat to, who has been a police matron, will be the new team of wom en plainclothes patrolwomen. The two women officers are to op erate in the same manner as do de tectives and plainclothes officers. They are to be on duty from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until nearly midnight. They are to patrol the downtown Btreets Just as policemen do, only they will wear street clothes, and will visit dance halls, skating rinks, mo tion picture theaters, cafes, penny ar cades and amusement places in gen eral where juveniles are in need of protection. While they are expected in a general way to see that all laws and ordinances regulating these amusement places are obeyed and prosecute the offenders, their partic ular work will be to act as protec tive officers to young girls who are roaming about the streets or who are conducting themselves in an improp er manner. Wherever they see the conduct of young people to be such that it should be reported to their parents, they are to escort them home and inform their parents of what they have learned, and then make a report to the juve nile department. 22 BIRTHS ON FARM ALL ON THE SAME DAY GRAND JT T NOTION, COLO., May 3.—Joseph Harrison, a rancher, was awakened by the doctor at 4 o’clock this morning to rock his new-born twin boys to sleep.
