MEXICO CITY, March 11.-Thorougf,ly
aroused by the spread Of brigandage and
vandalism, incident to the revolution led
by Francisco /. Madero, and determined
to protect property. the Mexican govern
ment the coming week will begin to
wage against the lawless element a pitt
less war of determination
Reviving provision of the Mexican
constitution, one not used for fifteen
years, and acting under its authorize
tion, the government will set aside for
six months certain personal guarantees
Those detected i'm the act of highway
robbery, of raiding "A village or farm. or
train wrecking, or cutting telegraph
tr telephone wires, or even of removing
spike from railroad track, or throw
ing stone at train will be summarily
shot by those making the arrest.
Today the bill providing for this dras-
tic measure was sent to the permanent
commission Of the federal congress. Ii
was signed by Miguel Macedo. subsecre-
tary of the department Of the interior.
and clearly states that its enactment is
the wish of President Diaz.
That the measure did not Immediately
become a law is due solely to official
form. The permanent commission is a
body endowed with power to act during
that period when congress is not in
session. The members of the commission
unanimously approved the measure, but
under the law, 1t is necessary that the
bill come up for a second reading. 1t
was referred to subcommittee and this
subcommittee was instructed to report it
to the commission Monday at special
session. 1t will then be favorably acted
on, it seems certain.

! the state of Illinois commanding him
| to testify in the trial of State Senator
| Broderick on the charge of having
| bribed State Senator Holstlaw to vote
for William Lorimer for United States
senator. he is at work on statement
| The statement is concerning the disap-
pearance in the Senate during the last
session of an affidavit and exhibit rela-
tive to the deposit Of money in the
State National Bank of Chicago by Sem
ator Holstlaw. which is said to have
taken place in 1909. The request for
statement came from Senator Cummins
of Iowa. who, telegraphing from Des
Moines. declared he had made state
ment and that he desired that Senator
Bailey also should give his version of
the loss of the two documents.
Issue of Subpoena Discussed.
Concerning the report sent out from
Springfield, ILL.,, to the effect that the
states attorney had obtained a subpoena
Tor him to appear as a witness in the
trial OF Broderfck, Senator Bailey said
last night that he hoped the states at
torney was informed whether or not the
law permitted him to obtain a subpoena
for man in another jurisdiction.
Senator Bailey denied that the deposit
slip had been brought to Washington by
the subcommittee Of the Senate commit
tee on elections which had been investi-
eating Senator Lorimer's election, as
stated in the report from Springfield He
said that Senator CumminS had sought to
have the document introduced in the Sem
ate he added that he thought it was
Senator Cummins who would be wanted
as a witness at the trial rather than HIM
self.
Il don't know what has become of the
deposit slip In question:" said Senator
Bailey. But do not wish to discuss the
matter"
Inc affidavit which has disappeared
was that of Jarvis o. Newton, chief
clerk of the bank, and the exhibit was
the deposit slip both having been
given with the view of demonstrating
that Mr.. Holstlaw did not prepare the
slip.
Introduced by Cummins.
These papers were introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Cummins during the
progress of the Lorimer case and while
Senator Bailey was speaking in defense
of Mr.. Lorimer. The Texas senator
had asserted that there had been for
gerry in connection with the transac-
tion, and Senator Cummins introduced
the documents in that connection to
prove the contrary.
AT that time Senator Bailey turned
the papers over to Senator Tillman,
and Mr. Tillman states that he handed
them to some republican senator Not
since then HAS either of the documents
been seen. Mr.. Bailey said he would
but that he could throw no light on

Conference Of the Cabinet.

The decision to ask for the Suspension
OF personal guarantees provided for by
the constitution was reached by the pres
ident in conference with the members OF
his cabinet. This provision OF the con-
stitution is one calculated to permit the
federal government to put into effect
at times of extraordinary conditions a
form Of government approaching that OF
martial law. Under the constitution the
government may go further and declare
not abrogate the powers of the civil
authorities, but it does deny, I'm cases
OF certain crimes. the right OF formal
trial to the accused.
Possibly the nearest approach to this
provision of the Mexican constitution
found in the Constitution of the United
States is that which permits, under GER
tain conditions. the suspension Of the
habeas corpus.

SENATE LINING UP
FOR HARD CONTEST
Three Important Measures Are
Doomed to Defeat

Washington, Feb. 9.---Lines are be
ing drawn in the senate for the three
big fights of the session which will
decide the fate of the Canadian reci
procity agreement, the Taft perma
nent tariff board and the direct elec'
tion of senators.
The leaders predict that all three
measures will be lost, despite the
most powerful influence that President
Taft is able to exert for the first two
and in the face of the nationwide de
mand for direct elections.
The president, however, is hopeful
and on his trip to Illinois and Ohio
he will devote practically all his
speeches to arguments in favor of reci
procity.
He will especially attempt to show
that the agreement would not harm
the farmers.
The Democrats, led by Bailey, who
has served notice that the measure
cannot pass, are ready to filibuster
ii is declared, if necessary to defeat
the tariff hoard bill.
Senator Lodge, backed by all the
old line leaders, is waging bittel
fight against direct elections, with the
prospect that it will be the subject o.
a stirring engagement between tht
progressives and the regulars.
