station, which is in another part of the city. Along Avenida Juarez banks of seats had been erected. These were filled early in the forenoon, a large percentage of their occupants being women repre- senting the best families of the capital The change in the programme caused these spectators hours more of waiting, while the procession marched to the pal ace and back through Francisco avenue Avendida Juarez and on to the Madero home, not far from the station at which he arrived. Many tired of their vigil and left, but their places were quickly filled.
 It was late in the afternoon when the crowd began to melt away. their disap- pearance being hastened by light fall of rain.
 The streets through which the parade passed were gorgeous in bunting and flags of all nations. Showers of confetti and myriads of streamers of paper tape descended upon the marchers from bal comics and upper windows, while all along the route punches of flowers were tossed into the Madero carriage. Mrs. Madero acknowledged the tributes with smiles and bows.

 Two of the capitals old churches and the national palace are buildings which show the effects of the shocks. Long cracks, appeared in all of them, and in the palace a keystone in one of the arches was loosened and thrown almost entirely out of it's place. The two churches are Santo Domingo and La Profesa the latter on San Francisco street. This church has shown cracks of serious character as result of other earthquakes, and this morning they were of such a serious kind that the building was ordered closed.
 Three schools sustained considerable damage, but in none was there loss of life One of the schools was the Liceo Guadalupano, fashionable boarding school for girls. That part of the build ing which collapsed was far removed from the dormitory The frightened children and their instructors fled into the streets, clad only in night gowns and pajamas. Another school was the Mascarones col- lege the most famous Jesuit institution in the republic. Here long wall and roof winding over the side of an inclosed field collapsed The third school building was the government normal school.

getting himself in the insane asylum
at jamestown. He was arrested yes.
terday by Deputy Sheriff Bingham and
brought to Fargo last night. The In
sanity board held special night ses-
sion for Johnson's benefit and he was
adjudged insane.
Johnson Lived alone with his mother
IN the most northwestern quarter sec

OF land that he had owned for about
six years. He frightened all the wo-
men and children In the neighborhood

There was found in the home OF
johnson three guns and three revoiv-
ers. In addition TO these he had In
stock 200 rounds of ammunition. ready
to defend himself In case he was at
tackled. He said that he feared that
the neighbors had plotted against him
and that he kept the guns and am
munition In self defense.
Among Johnson's threats was one to
blow up the Colgate bank. The bank
had refused to loan him money and
he came to Fargo and purchased some
dynamite, having the explosive in his
home when he was arrested. FL. r..

against him in that matter.
He is 40 years old and claimed that
he had fought In the Japanese Chinese
war when he was ~ years old, being
gunner He takes the credit of
teaching the laps modern warfare and
says. although the officers were given
the credit in history of ending the
war, 1t was he who ended 1t.
Johnson says that he is the best
gunner on earth being able to knock
both ends Of q barrel out and leave
the slaves intact at a distance OF
two and one-half miles, by the use
OF an 1s-inch gun. He stated that
the war between Japan and China
ended one day while he wasleaning on
a gun watching Chinese war vessels
maneuver at sea. He waited until the
two ships were side by side and pass
Ing one another, and then he fired,
sending ball through both ships, blow
Ing them up at distance Of fourteen
miles away.
Among Johnson's other exploits is
that Of killing sixteen people in IL
