MADERo WOUNDED BY
TREAcHeRoUs FOLLOWER.
Is in Hiding on This Side Of the Rio
Grande-Wouid-5e Assassin
Escaped.
Especial to The Easle.)

Eagle Pass, Texas, Nov. 25.-Au-
thentic advices reaching here today
are to the effect that Francisco !.
Madero was seriously wounded, but
not in the battle at Guerrero. 1t is
said that while the battle was being
fought Monday Madero, with ten men,
crossed the Rio Grande from Indio
and went to his own ranch. where he
prepared to join the forces at Guer-
rero. While en- route Madero was
stabbed by companion while they
were walking behind the rest of the
party. The Mexican escaped.
Madero was brought back to the
American side. and is now in hiding
from company of United States cav
airy sent TO the river for scout duty,
and which has not yet returned. An
other detachment OF the Thirtieth reg
iment has been sent TO investigate.
No reports of fighting have been re-
ceived here today.

ANOTHER MAIN
STREET BURGLARY

Another burglary occurred on Main
street last night. 1t was executed in
the same way as the three other cases
that occurred only a short time ago
Entrance was effected into the dry
goods store of Mr.. w. j. Coulter by
standing on box at the back door
and breaking the transom. The floor
of the clothing department upstairs
extends below the transom, and when
the miscreant crawled through the
opening he was ON the second floor
The clothing stock was somewhat dis
arranged, but there was no serious
damage. There was a small amount
'of money in the cash register, and
the drawers had been left open by
Mr.. Coulter, but it was not touched.
Ii is impossible for Mr. Coulter to
ascertain whether anything was taken
or not, but evidently the burglar had
some motive for entering the building.
Suspicion points to the same party or
parties who committed the other three
burglaries on account of the fact that
the entrance was effected at the same
part of the building and in the same
way. The officers are at work on the
case, but no clew has been found yet.

GOVERNOR sTUBBs ON
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Popular Kansas Executive compIi-
ments Texas for Enforcing Laws
and Praises Texas Rangers.
Especial to The Eagle.l

San Antonio. Texas, Nov. 25.--Goy
ernor W. r. Stubbs. of Kansas, who
is one of the prominent figures at the
Trans-Mississippi Commercial Con.
gress In session here. tells an inter.
esting story of his first Inspiration for
law enforcement. The executive, who
has become national figure since
taking Office because of his enforce
ment OF the laws in Kansas, says that
the quick. effective work of the gun
carrying Texas ranger in the suppress
sion OF the bad man" led him to ap-
ply that principle to his public life.
Il was building railway from
Twist, Texas. to the Canadian river.
about seventy miles, in 1901 and 1902"
said the governor 1T was during the
time the Rock Island was building
over to FL Paso. The life was rough.
smacking very much of the frontier
times, and the thing that impressed
me most was the splendid enforcement
OF the law by the rangers. Our camps
were filled with bootleggers, bad men
and gamblers. At times they gave us
so much trouble we had to appeal to
the law. The effective work of the
rangers in cleaning them out made
such an impression of vigorous en-.
forcement that I will never forget IT,
and have been trying to do the
same thing in Kansas in the enforce
ment Of the laws on the state statute
books.
Il admire the Texas people, because
they mean what they say, and they do
what they promise. You people en-
force your corporation laws here in
a way that it would well behooye the
United States to do. Why, IL the laws
on the statute books were enforced in
Texas. we would never hear of the
railroads of the country combining to
raise the freight rates by 100000. 900.
We would have them tied up in short
order.
This is an executive duty 1t is the
enforcement of criminal statute un-
der our Sherman antitrust law which
prohibits the railroads from combin-
ing in restraint OF trade. The states
have control only of matters in the
limits of the states. Therefore, this is
distinctly up to the federal govern
ment.
