MADERO WILL GET HOUSING WELCOME Thousands Busy Preparing
 for Hero of War PARADE IS PLANNED Dozens of Political Clubs, Formed to Boost Madero for President,
 Will Take Part in the
 Great Event

Mexico City, June 5.-No citizen of Mexico was ever given a more enthusias- tic reception than that which is planned for Francisco l. Madero when he enters the capital Wednesday, Shouting thou sands will greet him upon his arrival at the station and soldiers of the army which he has been fighting since November 20, 1910, will line the streets. In his honor military bands will play and the police whose duty 1t once was to arrest those who cried Viva Madero' will join in the ovation.
 Officially he is but private citizen and therefore the guns of the garrison may render to him no salute and legally the Mexican national hymn may not be played, but all that may be done under the law will be done by official Mexico as well as by the populace, to make him welcome
 But there will be one note of disappoint- ment for thousands of men who have borne the hardships of a campaign. The reyolutionists in Cuernavaca are to have no part in the celebration. This was de- cided today, but neither they nor their representatives in the capital have ceased in their efforts to have the edict with drawn. Fearing that the presence of so many armed men not accustomed to the discipline of the regular army might re- suit in trouble, the government officials have deemed it wise to refuse their plea for participation in the days festivities With the exception of a detachment num- bering not more than 1000, who are en- camped near Ajusco, all are in Cuerna- vaca under the command of Asunsolo. It is possible they yet may be given per mission to march in the parade and if not it is likely that hundreds Of them may secure permission from their officers to visit the capitol on that day, leaving their arms in camp.
 Meet Train
 Madero's train will be met a short distance out of the city by another on which will be committees representing various political clubs. They will escort him and those with him to the capital. From the station it is expected Ma deros first move will be to go to his home and from one of its balconies ad- dress the crowd. It was from a balcony of this house that he made the first po- litical address of the presidential cam paign which ended with his imprison- Tent.
 Dozens of clubs, having as their cen- tral motive the booming of Madero, have been organized since the close of the war and all these are active in planning their part in the reception of the man they later will support for the presidency. Scarcely an hour in the day Iut has its meeting of some committee of some club and hourly the scheme of reception is elaborated.
 tn the decorations begun today there Is touch of the official As is customary on national holidays, flowers are being placed by the Ncity around the electric light poles that are set in the center of San Francisco street, the capitals most important thoroughfare. Everywhere the national colors are beginning to make their appearance and it is expected that hundreds of private houses and even the public buildings will be decorated in hon. or of the erstwhile rebel chief.
 Throughout the city troops will be placed but in this disposition of armed men there is a double significance It is not altogether certain the throng which will welcome the peoples idol will pre- serve complete order throughout the day and the authorities are determined that the celebration shall not be r1arred by an over-indulgence in enthusiasm such as finds its expression in breaking windows. This morning the first train in many months left for El Paso. With this re- sumption of traffic on the Mexican cen- tral the National Railway system was restored to conditions almost normal Trains are now being operated on all but two branch roads.
 Tonight it is reported that General Manuel Gonzales Cosio, ex-mnister of war, will leave next week for Europe.
