.D|Az'S MARITAL
 LAW ATTACKED

Washington, March 23.-All persons in any way connected with the promulgation or enforcement of the recent suspension of constitutional guarantees by the Mex ican government will be held personally | responsible as homicdes by the insurg- | ents government, according to decree of Francisco I. Madero, the provisional presi- dent, issued today through his representa- tive here, Dr. Vasquez Gomez.
 The decree sets forth that the suspen- sion of constitutional guarantees as af- fecting the safety of human life is not lawful according to article 29 of the Mex ican constitution, which prov ides for sus- pension of constitutional guarantees ia all cases except those in which human life is at stake The decree contends that mo authority or power in Mexico can suspend the constitutional guarantees which assure the lives of men, natives or foreigners, whatever be their nationality"
 After branding the recent action of the Mexican government as unconstitutional, the decree declares:
 "All political officers or employees, civil or military, and their interiors who apply or execute that act in the taking of the life of any individual, native or foreigner will be held personally responsible and will be punished as principals or &C., complices in homicide and when they shall be apprehended by the authorities or forces of the insurgents they will be consigned to judicial authority, competent to judge and punish them In conformity with the laws respecting the crime of homicide.
 When the reveluotion shall have triumphed and the constitution is again in force, the authors of this act of General Daz will be brought to justice in conformity with these same laws. All public officers who have been concerned in the formation and approval of thls suspension will be held responsible fol all acts as done under it.''

The boys made a fine show ing both in appearance and efficiency. The companys quarters and stores were all in good shape and the in spection was in every way satisfac- tory.
 Company G, Capt Ike Cole com manding, also made a good showing with 45 men in line. The boys stood the inspection like veterans and their ap- pearance was fine. Captain Cole had the entire burder of the inspection on his shoulders as both the lieuten- ants of the company are absent from the city. The equipment and quarters were found in first-class order and gave satisfaction to the inspecting officers.
 The inspection of these two com panies concludes the inspection Of in fantry troops in this district, but the artillery and cavalry have yet to be examined.
 General Scully expressed himself as highly pleased by the splendid show ing made by the local companies. He Stated the attendance was good and the discipline was excellent. and compli- mented the officers and men for the manner in which the several inspec- tions had been held.
 The general also stated that he had been unonicially informed that the officers who had volunteered to go to the maneuvers at the Mexican border would be sent in squads of five and that they would remain at the camps for two weeks. when they would be replaced by another squad.

The strongest attraction of the Bijou season in many respects is "The Reve- lation," which is playing there this week. It is the story of mother love that is so strong that it reforms the mother, once a famous character of Paris. It Is an ideal matinee attrac- tion and for that reason the manage ment is expecting a large attendance at the only remaining matinee of the week, Saturday afternoon. Following this attraction the Bijou will offer a week of melodrama in No Mother to Guide Her"
