Allow All Political Prisoners TO

Mexico city. Nov. 6.-Lavish pomp,
splendor bordering upon the barbaric
and all the show OF which the Mexi-
cans are capable of making. today
temporarily veneered the internal dis
sentions of the republic of Mexico
when Francisco Nadero-conquero
Of former Pres dent. PorGro Diaz,
against whom he led a successful re-
bellion, was inaugurated as chief ex-
ecutive Of the republic in this city,
while at the same time three distinct
revolutionary plots are seethng in
different parts of the country.
President Madero drove smIngly
through the streets Of the ely, un-
der escort Of an army numbering
more than one thousand troops, to
the chamber Of deputies where the
Inaugural services began at high
noon.
In an address which he delivered
for the first time as president of the
nation, Madero told his twenty thou
sand listeners that he would promise
them reign of peace for at least
three months and was wildly cheered
that he would eventually make the
entire country permanently peaceful.
With the conclusion of his address,
brass bands started playing the ma
tional anthem and the vast horde of
people gathered, Joined in singing
after which the crowd made its way
to a place where a big free banquet
was served, under orders of the new
chief.
Tonight a huge inaugural ball will
be given in the governors palace and
a reception rendered the new presi-
dent Provisional President De la
Barra, leaves tonight for an extended
tour of Europe and a demonstration
will be accorded him by the public,
with whom he is exceptionally popu-
lar.
1t is expected that one of the first
acts of President Madero will be the
liberation of all political prisoners
now confined in various Mexican
prisons on condition that they will inn
mediately leave Mexico,
Many of these prisoners are royal
lists, whose recent demonstrations for
General Reyes were too enthusiastic
for the new chief.
General Gomez is now an exile in
San Antonio, Texas, and with the de-
parture of those now in prison, Ma
dero believes that he will be rid of
n S most dangerous political enemies.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The question
of United States interference in the
Turkey-Italian war, to prevent further
barbarlties by the Italians, has been
put up to President Taft, following
Turkeys appeal to the American gov
ernmeGt for aid
Although the sultan's appeal took
the form Of practically a demand, in
the name Of humanity, to stop the
Italian atrocities, it Is believed the
United states will be slow to act in
the matter, as the state department
hes'tates to step into the European
situat on. until the European powers,
directly Interested, take some action.
Italian Charge D'Affairs Cambi-
azo strenuously denies the Italians
have committed atrocities in Tripoli
and says the reports are the result
OF a campaign conducted by the
Turks to create sympathy on false
claims.

that the United States cruiser had
sailed from Malta for Tripoli, where
it is alleged by the Turks that the
Italians have been barborous in their
treatment of non-combatants, women

BIRTHDAY SKETCH.

Today is the birthday of one of AM
erica's foremost citizens-John Wan
namaker. the merchant prince. Wan
amaker is ~ today and it is doubtful
IL there is another man of his age in
the country who wears his years more
lightly. Mr. Wanamaker believes in
the philosophy of work as a preserva-
tive against age. and says he believes
largely in Bernhardt's doctrine of be-
ing as young as one feels despite the
passing of the years.
Every year for the past six years
it has been predicted that Mr.. Wana-
maker "woud retire on his next
birthday" but Mr.. Wanamaker says
that he seems to be about the only
person who has not been consulted
in the matter. He takes an active in
terest in his mammoth stores in Phil
adelphia, New York and Paris, and
besides is a great church worker, be-
ing one of the most famous Sunday
school scholars in the country. Mr.
Wanamaker rarely ever misses Sab
bath school and has often been known
to make great sacrifices to be pres
ent with his class, which is almost as
famous as that of John u. ROckefel-
Ter, Jr

before anyone could believe it pos
