MADERO APPOINTS
CABINET MEMBERS
Continued from PAGE One.

Minister Madero will look after the Gus
tom-house business, which. for . time.
will very likely be the most important
factor in the affairs Of the newly organ
lied government.
Nothing definite on the subject has
como from any Of the leaders thus far.
but they will certainly be asking the
American government for all the latitude
respecting the ability 20 import which
was granted the federals.
There Is no question that the rebellion
has prof1ted immeasurably in dignity and
prestige with the capture Of Juarez. The
anti-government movement seems IN
f1nitely more substantial and ambitious
than during the dark and uncertain
months when the rebels were knocking
around in the mesquite. not knowing
where the next meal was to come from.
Federals Become Rebels.
A miraculous change has como; It Is
safe to say that Madero could have 10000
in his command within a week II he
said the word. To-day every one Of the
600 federal prisoners in the Juarez Jail
was crying viva Madero." and the
Maderists claim that nine out OF ten of
them are ready to become jealous revo-
lutionists.
IT was forced to Join the army said
one Of the federals this morning, but
my syrnpathies were with the insurrectos
Hereafter I will fight with all my heart
and soul"
In this statement the sentiments OF
most of his comrades were expressed
and the crowded Jail is certainly to be-
cofhe a prolific Madero recruiting sta
ton Not only may Madero draw prac-
tically to the limit upon the captured
| federals, but the cause he represents as
chieftain has advanced amazingly with
the surrendering of Juarez. and there
have come to him innumerable applica.
| tions to join the insurrection, many OF
them from influential sources.
| Jaurez is as quiet and safe as Ell Paso
Within an hour after rebel occupation
| looting had ceased and an insurrectc
guard has since been stationed at every
store. All stocks Of liquors have beer
| destroyed and there is no drinking. either
secret or openly.
The insurrectos will not further fortify
.e city; in fact, the breastworks, rooi
fortifcations. and street barricades VII
probably be torn down. as the strategtsts
them foolish affairs.
Instead Of preparing Jaurez for defense
| the rebel commanders have issued the
declaration that they will go outside the
| city when there is any fighting TO ot
done. In other words. they do not intend
to let any force of the federals approach
near enough to attack the city.
The revised list Of casualties. as pre-
pared under the direction Of Abram Con
zales, provisional mayor Of Juarez. gives
seventy-five killed and go wounded
| These are only estimates, however, al
several bodies were found to-day in un
| expected places. and there are still many
| Of the hidden ways Of the ancient adobe
houses that have not been searched.
In the capture OF Juarez. Madero res
cued about 1000 Mauser rifles. $4,000
rounds Of ammunition. two machine guns
| field pieces. and howitzers. and his mill
| tary men figure that the efficiency OF the
army, aside from the advantage Of hold
ing Juarez. has been increased from foul
to five fold.

REBELS APPROACH
MEXICAN CAPITAL
Cuernavaca May Be Scene of
Bloody Battle.
By HARRY H. DUNN.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Huitsilac. Mexico, May 10.-(By courier
to Mexico City)-This village lies on the
mountain slope overlooking Cuernavaca
and Cortez. Below it lies what is destined
to be one Of the bloodiest battlefelds OF
the. Mexican revolution, the plains OF
| Cuernavaca.
| From the south is coming Ambrosio
| Figueroa, with 5000 men: from the south
| west, closing in, is La Neri, with 1,5O(
more, and from the west and east are
approaching lesser bands, under Lucien
Merino and Juan Diego, all bent on at
tacking the garrison of 10 men in Cuer-
navaca below.
Every villege in the mountains from
here to Mexico City is fortified; every
| Indian is armed to the teeth, not to
| fight off the rebels. who are hammerins
the Diaz throne. but to wipe from the
earth the hated government officials and
the blue uniformed troops Of the new
| world car.
Ramon Figue rna, brother Of Ambrosio
is in Cuernavaca, fifteen miles below
here, rushing from Mexico City in a
wild effort to get to his brother with
arguments Of peace ahead Of Tomas
Dominguez, who passed through yester-
day bearing a package from the rebel
junta In Mexico City to Ambrosio
Figueroa to continue the war to the
bitter end.N
Nogales, AriZ. May 11.-Federal troops
are being rushed to Hermosillo. capital
of the state of Sonora, to save that place

who now surround 1t. The 900 federals
who evacuated Aqua Prieta yesterday
arrived at Loomas Junction this after
noon en- route to Hermosillo.
Rebel re-enforcements are being hur-
ried to Hermosillo also. and big bait
tie is expected there at any time. Fight
ing is in progress at Cananea, an I'M
portant mining camp, and at Magdalena.

The New Capitol.

The old Capitol of Missouri
built in 1888. after fire had des-
troyed the original capitol, (which
stood on the ground now occupi
ed by the Governors mansion)
was remOdeled in 1887 at a cost
of S22O,OOO, two new wings being
added, with the old structure
forming the centre, the base of
the remodeled building occupy
ing a space 800 feet in length and
112 feet in depth, with a terrace
round about and stone steps in
front and on the southern end.
The northern end stood close to
the edge of a steep bluff at the
base of which lie the tracks of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
This bluff is protected from ero-
sion and impairment by a retain
ing of massive stone.
The new building will be set
away from this bluff about 300
or 400 feet, facing east, with a
wide approach on the south to-
ward the new Supreme Court
building. Its southern line will
be near the new court building.
which is now separated from the
Capitol park by block occupied
with brick residences. These
will be removed and the block
will be graded to conform to the
elevation of the new Capitol. The
streets now intervening between
the north line of this block and
the Capitol park and along the
east side of the block will be
vacated by Jefferson City and
decided to the State, without cost;
and the ground west of the Fed
eral building viii be cleared Of
the substantial brick houses now
on it and added to the park. Thus

preme court building and the
fine Federal building will be
grouped, and the environment of

The Senate still insists that Ari-
zona should get rid of the recall
as it applies to the judiciary be-
fore her admission to statehood.
Just why our national law makers
areso tender about having judges
recalled from their offices in the
event that their official conduct
is in opposition to the law of JUS
tice and public welfare is not
made clear. A Judge on the
bench is just as much a mortal
and susceptible Of human frail
ties as he was before he was ele-
waited to that position. We want
a judiciary who will interpret the
laws for application as they were
intended by the people to apply,
and not to nullify them merely
because they happen to antago-
nize some particular private com
mercial interest.

No More Gerrymanders.

The United States Senate hav-
ing amended the House bill pro
viding for apportionment of Con
gressmen to the several states
and prescribing the manner in
which congressional districts
may be created it is now possible
for the people Of Missouri to de-
termine for themselves how the
sixteen districts in this state
shall be formed. 1t was the pur-
pose of the Missouri Democrats
in Congress to prevent a popular
vote in congressional districting,
under the initiative and referen-
dun law. They got into the
House bill a clause reading by
the Legislature thereof" making
it necessary that congressional
districts be formed by State leg
islatures. The Senate knocked
out that clause and substituted
for it a clause providing that such
districts may be created under
the laws of the State, which
means that Missouri may organ
iza them nnder the initiative and
referendum law. The Republic an
State Committee will submit to
vote at the General election in
1912 a bill creating sixteen con-
gressional districts, and also
thirty-four senatorial districts,
all formed according to the letter
and spirit of the Congressional
Act and the State law. The
Democrats hope to sustain the
Major-Roach senatorial gerry
mander and to gerrymander con-
gressional districts by an act of
the Legislature. AS they control
the State Senate through their
last gerrymander they hope to
control the legislature, but they
are booked for a grievous disap-
pOintment.

Reckless Use OF Weapons.

A Deputy City Marshal at
Marshtield, Mo-, with a posse
comitatus of one, sworn in by
him to help arrest a stranger
who had walked peaceably
through the town are both being
held for murder for shooting and
killing the man they sought to
arrest, without warrant, without
charge of any kind, without even
suspicion of having committed a
crime. They followed the man
along the railroad track some
distance from town, and when
he ran, instead of halting when
they called on him to stop-fear-
ing them to be holdup men, he
said before he died-they opened
fire on him.
This recklesspess is on par
with that we occasionally see On
the streets of St. Louis, though
not so dangerous to innocent by
ISLANDERS. No officer is justified
in shooting at a fleeing man,
whether he suspects him of hay
ing committed some crime or
not. Especially is this so when
the officer knows that the fleeing
person is guilty of some small
misdemeanor.
Reckless use of weapons by
officers of the law is as much a
crime as when committed by
other persons. In London the
police are not permitted to carry
revolverS. because of the danger
of their use in crowded city.
While this is going farther
than public sentiment in this
country would warrant. there is
no question about the fact that
there is grave abuse of the weap-
on-carrying privilege of officers
of the law in America. Many
officers undoubtedly refrain from
using their weapons under great
provocation, but many others use
them entirely too freely. Espec-
ially is this true of new officers
and men who, like this Deputy
Marshal, have exaggerated ideas
of their own importance as up
holders of the law. Men intrust-
ed with weapons to aid them in
the protection of the people,
should be held to strict account
ability for the way they use them.
