However, Takes Second Place

dications of Widespread

Sections
ARE TRYING TO DEVISE
SOME HUMANE METHOD OF
EX-PREST’S ELIMINATION
Governors of Four States Re
fuse Allegiance and Open Re
bellion Indicated. Senora
Madero Breaks Under Strain.
Mexico City.—Francisco Madero’s
fate lost first place in the interest of
the Mexican populace today because
of the more pressing concern as to
the extent to which Mexico is yet in
a condition of revolution. In spite of
tthe termination of hostilities the
capital and the establishment of a
new administration, there are indica
tions of widespread trouble in other
sections of the country. The disposi
tion of the deposed president and
vice president had not been settled
this morning and was still the cause
of some anxiety, but this was regard
ed in many quarters of little con
sequence to the pat.ion compared with
the problem presented by the exist
ing rebel forces and the prospective
insurrectos.
Humane Method.
In view of Gen. Huerta’s personal
assurance to Senora Madero that her
husband would not be killed, It was
believed that some humane measure
would be devised for his elimination
from public life. It is probable that
this point will be discussed at the
first meeting of the cabinet and also
in congress, which was reconvened in
ordinary session today. Gen. Fascual
Orozco, according to dispatches from
Chihuahua, yesterday, conferred at
Palomes with David De La Fuente,
who had been chosen from the rebel
list as a cabinet minister. Orozco
will accompany Senor De La Fuente
to the federal capital in order per
sonally to express his allegiance to
the new government.
In the South.
General Agulllar and Colonel De La
Llave, who have been in rebellion in
the suoth are reported to be in accord
with the new administration. On the
other hand there has been no tntlma
tion from Zapata nor from the elusive
Genevo De La O, of their conformity
with the new order of things.
Beyond this, Reports have been re
ceived from the north which appear
serious, that the governors of four
states —Aguas Calientes, Nevo Leon,
Coahuila and Sonora—have onely re
fused allegiance. Whether their dis
affection will take the form of active
rebellion is mere speculation, but it
Is indicated that Gen. Huerta will
send additional troops to those dis
tricts, in order to check any rebel
lious movements.
Breaks Under Strain.
Senora Madero, who accompanied
her husband in his campaigns
against Porfirio Diaz and who had
since been his closest adviser, broke
since been his closest adviser, broke
down today under the strain she has
undergone. She has spent all her
time for several days interceding
with officials and diplomats to save
her husband from death.
Madero remained all night under
guard in his room at the national
palace, together with Suarez and
Garza. Madero has not been per
mitted to see members of his fam
ily.
PAPERS ADVISE
STERNJCTION
Publication Resumed in Mexico
City. Huerta Promotes Four
of His Generals.
Mexico City.—Provisional President
who long ago pleaded with
Madero for promotions for a number
of officers of the regular army, today
promoted four generals and a num
ber of inferior officers of the line.
They are Aurelio Blanquet, Joaquin
Majss, Alberto Yarza and Cauz, all of
whom took an active part in the street
fighting.
All of the newspapers of the capital
have made their reappearance. Edi
torially most of them comment with
keen satisfaction on the governmental
changes, but almost all of them carry
a slight trace of skepticism regarding
the early restoration of peace through
out the republic and advise stern and
prompt action.

Ambassador Wilson Instructed
To Convey To Huerta Views

WON’T BE RAILROADED TO
JAIL OR PUT IN MADHOUSE
Will Be Given Fair Trial.
Probable End. Nothing Worse
Than Exile From Country.
Washington.—Francisco I. Madero,
deposed president of Mexico, will not
be railroaded to jail, thrown is a mad-,
house or summarily executed by pro
visional president Huerta, according
to reports today from Ambassador
Wilson. Madero, the ambassador re
ports, will be given a fair trial and
possibly the worst fate that will
await him will be exile.
Seriously Object.
Secretary Knox, with the approval
of President Taft, has instructed Am
bassador Wilson to convey to Ruerta,
in diplomatic terms, the intimation
that the United States would serious
ly object to a summary execution or
sentence of Madero.
It was not felt here that the former
president should be slaughtered or
put out of the way for crimes which
seemed purely political, without a
fair and open trial. This view was
made plain to Huerta and this fact
wag not concealed the the United
States looked with disfavor upon the
shooting of Gustavo Madero.
Discuss Mexico.
The administration’s attitude to
ward the provisional government in
Mexico was discussed at today’s cab
inet meeting. President Taft and
Mr. Knox never believed that Madero
was a strong president for a republic
sown with revolution. They have be
lieved, however, that he displayed
many humane traits and that he was
entitled to a hearing. They have no
particular interest other than that of
humanity, in what is done with him,
if it is done in a legal fashion.
Huerta Gives Reason.
Mexico City.—Solicitude tor Made
ro’s personal safety was given by
Provisional President Huerta to dip
lomats today as the reason why Ma
dera cannot be removed from the
capital for the present. President
Huerta re-called to his visitors the
attack upon the train which bore ex-
Presldent Porfirio Diaz to Vera Cru
zon his exile to Europe.
The president said the investigation
of the Madero administration’s rec
ords was being continued with great
care.

THE GRAND JURY HAS INDICTED SIX FOR THE
FAILURE OF THE CITIZENS TRUST COMPANY
Pace, Dowling, Willard, Dunn,
McFarlane and Myers Are
Those Against Whom Indict
ments Have Been Returned
THIRTEEN CHARGES ARE
AGAINST M. C. DOWLING
President Pace Has Nine; As
sistant Treasurer McFarlane
and Director Myers Indicted
on Five Charges.
The grand jury of Richmond county
returned indictments against six offi
cials of the Citizens Trust Company,
and in several instances on more than
one count.
Mr. W. B. Pace, the president or the
defunct Citizens Trust Company, is
indicted on nine charges.
Mr. M. C. Dowling, the vice-presi
dent and treasurer, is Indicted on thir
teen charges, Individually and with
Mr. W. B. Pace and Mr. C. A,. Mc-
Farlane.
Mr. C. A. McFarlane, the assistant
treasurer of the bank, is indicted on
five charges.
Mr. Samuel H. Myers, a director and
member of the finance committee, is
Indicted on five charges.
Mr. B. Sherwood Dunn, a director,
is indicted on one charge.
Mr. D. H. Willard is indicted for
forgery and on another charge in con
nection with the Atlantic States Life
Insurance Company business, which
was brought about by the investiga
tion of the failure of the Citizens
Trust Company.
Bench warrants were issued for all
the defendants.
The action of this grand jury con
cludes an investigation which was be
gun some months ago by the previous
grand Jury. At. the time of the fail
ure, in July, 1912, there was consider
able talk of holding some one indi
vidual or party of individuals respon
sible for the losses which so many
sustained through the failure. The
October, 1912, grand jury began the
Investigation, but made no move to
wards placing the blame. It recom
mended that the next jury take the
matter up. The next jury did, with
the result that 35 indictments were
returned against six former officers
of the concern, five exclusive of Mr.
Willard, who was known as the New
York representative of the trust com
pany.
A trustee in bankruptcy was first
appointed and then, by order of the
superior court, a receiver, who is Mr.
James P. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong
has been quoted as saying that the
further into the affairs of the company
the probe went the worse it looked.
The Indictments bring out the fact
that deposits were received by the
bank up to a few minutes before the
doors were closed, and that checks
were refused payment as much as two
days previous.
Summary of Charges.
The following is a summary of the
charges in the indictments against the
six officials:
M. C. Dowling, that on April 2nd,
1912, as secretary and treasurer of
the Atlantic States Life Insurance
Company, did at divers times during
the years 1911 and 1912 collect large
sums of money, aggregating in amount
$60,000, and failed and refused to pay
to the Atlantic States Life Insurance
Company $1,982.60. The indictment
reads: "At divers times during said
years embezzle, steal and fraudulently
take and carry away with intent to
steal the same, the said sum, etc.”
Mt C. Dowling, that on October Ist,
1910, as cashier of the Citizens Bank,

Berlin, —The Mexican situation came
up for discussion in the Imperial par

Commands Not in Writing and
Were Not Carried Out By
Officers.
Mexico City.—Charges which are not
altogether substantiated were made to
day by the now authorities .tending
to indicate that the Madero adminis
tration In Its extremity was contem
plating a wholesalo slaughter. More
than one alleged list of names of those
proscribed has been found.
A pollco officer declared that Fran
cisco Madoro personally and verhsdly
gave him a list of <3 deputies, a num
ber of senators and all the newspaper
men, Including the foreign correspon
dents, with Instructions to have them
assassinated. Tho police officer said
that since this order was not In writ
ing ho did not feel obliged to carry It
out.
Buch stories as this have created a
bitter sentiment against Francisco
Madero and have caused a number of
men whose names wore on the list to
use their Influence to secure summary
punishment for tho fallen president.
NIP AND TUCK,
PRO J ANTI
Typewriter Batteries Clicking
Fiercely in War Between
‘‘Votes For Women” Camps.
Washington.—From all appearances
It will bo nip and tuck March 3rd
whether tho perturbed and perspiring
sergeants at arms of the senate and
house will be able to keep a quorum
in congress during the passage of the
suffragist procession on that day. A
number of leading members of both
branches, according to a statement
statement given out today at the Na
tional Suffragist Headquarters have
announced that they would march In
the parade, "even If they had to hide
from their respective sergeants at
arms to do so. Among those quoted
are Senator Poindexter of Washing
ton, and Representative Victor Mur
dock of Kansas.
A majority of the members of con
gress, however, are showing signs of
nervousness over the prospect of
being caught between two fires on
the universal suffrage question. The
anti suffragists today appeared In
numbers in the hallß of the capital
and In the senate and house office
buildings. They displayed as mnnh
enthusiasm as their suffragist sisters
In button-holing members.
The batteries of typewriters In
both camps situated only a block
apart, began rapid fire clicking at an
early hour In the preparation of liter
ary ammunition to be used tor and
against the "cause.’’ The two big
guards, both of which resemble
“white hopes,” were early on the
scene and they seemed to have be
come ardently partisan. \
Only One Man Along.
Chicago—Only one man, aside from
the train crew will ride on the special
which will carry the Ullnota suffra
gists to the March 3rd parade In
Washington. The women hesitated
for sometime before making this con
cession, but finally were convinced
that there would be some duties to
perform which would resuire the ser
vices of a man. The man will be
utilized to shine shoes and perform
all the menial tasks necessary. Girl*
will take the place of porters on the
sleepers and In the dining cars.
GANG TITLES NECESSARY
FOR YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS
New York.—Gang titles have be
come to be regarded by young crim
inals as a positive necessity In thetr
business here, according to the po
lice. Thero Is a suggestion that "Gyp
the Blood” and many similar nick
names which received publicity In the
murder of Herman Rosenthal last
summer, set the fashion. As an In
stance, the blotter of a police station
last night contained such names as
"The * Snake," "Lefty Bill,” "Little
Jeff," “The Hope,” "Mutt," and
"Hnowball” —all boys under 16 year*
of age, whoso real names are those
of foreigner#.
Bracketed against their names is
a list of 30 small burglaries for which
they will answer In children’s court.
