MEX|CANS MAY DEMAND
ExTRADT|ON Of GOMEZ
Rumor From Capital That Ma
deristS Are to
Act.

MEXICO CITY, December 2S-It is
rumored that the Mexican government is
about to ask for the extradition Of Emilio
Vasquez Gomez. former minister of the
interior. from the United States.
1t is generally believed that Gomez is
heading a revolutionary party. Accord
ing to the latest information he was in
San Antonio.
AL efforts to ascertain the truth of the
rumor as to the request for his extradi-
ton or the grounds on which the proceed
ings will be based have been futile. al
though there is apparent corroboration in
official circles that action by the govern
ment is contemplated. The only offense
Of Gomez. if any, is said to be Of a po-
iitical nature, for which he cannot be ex-
tradited.
Emelio Vasquez Gomez is supposed to
be still at San Antonio. Tex, whore with
in two weeks he gave out an interview
denying that he was in any way allied
with Gen. Reyes in revolutionary move
ments or that he was in any way plan
ming operations in the field against
Madero.
Emelo Vasquez Gomez is the brother
Of DR.. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, who
was confidential agent in Washington for
the Madero revolution, afterward falling
out with MaderO upon failure to be
named as vice presidential candidate on
the Madero ticket. Emelio Vasquez Co
mez was a candidate for president Of
Mexico at the recent elections on an in
dependent ticket In opposition to Madero.
He has expressed freely his opposition TO
Madero. but has declared that he would
give the new President Of Mexico an op-
portunity to show whether he could main
tain peace and order.

Activity of the Board of Health
Results in Passing of In
sanitary Shops.

NEW YORK, December 28.-New York s
bakeries are now undergoing at the hands
Of the board Of health such q houseclean-
ing as they have not experienced for
years.
Within the past two months more than
go places where bread is sold have been
adtudged public nuisances or a menace to
health. and in each case the occupant has
been ordered to close up shop at once or
given five days to put his house In order.
In most instances filthy, insanitary
bakeries have been converted into shops
where the staff Of life Is made under con-
dttions showing marked Improvement.
Using Peremptory Orders.
Since beginning the crusade the board
has adopted the use Of two peremptory or
ders, known as public nuisance and
vacation orders. One hundred and
thirty such orders have been directed to
bakers within single week. The vaca-
ton order is issued where a building is
deemed unfit for human habitation be-
cause Of defects In plumbing or drainage
or because of nuisance on the prem seS
that Is likely to cause sickness among
the occupants; the public nuisance order
is issued where the board finds that bread
is being made under conditions dangerous
orders are directed have no choice but to
comply. More than 1900 places have been
inspected, and, under the drastic rulings
enforced, the board announces that there
has been a decided improvement in tie
condition of the bakeries.

Fatally Injured, He Dies Early To-
day at Emergency Hospital.
RECEIVES FIRST-AID CARE
Sisters of Charity, Occupants of Car,
Give Injured Man Attention
Until Physician Arrives.

The death Of Frank ]. Fitzpatrick who
was mortally injured yesterday afternoon
when struck by an automobile operated
by Miss Margaret Allies, fifteen-year- old
daughter of Milton E. Allies, vice presi-
dent OF the Riggs National Bank, Is be-
ing investigated this afternoon by a
coroner's jury, meeting at Lees under
taking establishment. 232 Pennsylvania
avenue. DR.. White. deputy coroner. is
conducting the inquiry.
The fatal accident occurred at Column
bia and Quarry roads. Mr.. Fitzpatrick.
who was sixty-three years old and lived at
3l2O 18th street, started across the road.
Miss Allies rang her gong in warning.
The pedestrian hesitated whether to go
forward or backward, and his indecsion
made 1t impossible for Miss Allies to
judge what course to guide her electric
runabout. She tried vainly to stop in
time to avoid running him down.
Sisters of Charity Give First Aid.
Two sisters of charity, riding in the
automobile with Miss Allies and her
aunt. Miss Abigail Dowans. hurried to
the aid of the victim of the accident
The sisters lifted him from the roadway
neighboring house. They placed their
capes under his head for pillow, and
eased him in every way possible while
waiting for more expert aid.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was unconscious, and q
deep cash in his head was bleeding In
the crowd that quickly gathered was Dr.
r. Thomas West in his automobile Urged
by Miss Allies, he offered his machine
md L. f,,;.x Al
DispenSary, and thence to the Emergency
Hospital where, after a futile operation,
he died at 80 o'clock this morning. His
skull had been fractured.
Detective Evans of headquarters and
police of the tenth precinct investigated
the accident and reported that it was un-
avoidable. They also reported that the
women had done all in their power to
care for the victim. Miss Allies urged
that no expense be spared to save the
life of MIR. Fitzpatrich.
Miss Allies Overcome by Accident.
My daughter and the others in the
dent" says Mr.. Allies. When my
daughter saw the man she did not know
he was going to remain standing still
In the street until the machine was
short distance from him. Then she ap-
piled the brake. The extra load in the
auto on the steep incline caused it to
go several feet before it stopped. The
man was struck by the spring at the
front of the machine. 1t was an un-
avOidable accident"
Mrs. Fitzpatrick was notified by a
policeman that her husband was serious
ly injured and about to be operated on
at the Emergency Hospital. She hastened
to the hospital and waited at the door OF
the operating room.

Splendid Picture Painted by Nature
in the Southeastern Sky.

Those persons who looked toward the
southeastern sky this morning shortly
after o'clock saw one Of natures most
glorious pictures. They saw the gray
of early dawn become d lavender tint.
Then the long narrow clouds resting
like islands in the ocean Of space re-
ceived rosy tinge on their lower bor-
ders. Soon the entire heavens in the
southeast became brilliant with color
like a splendid sunset. A deep, rosy
flame began to peep above the hori-
zon and presently the upper rim Of the
sun pushed into view. The sky's rosy
tint faded into the color of paler gold as
the sun mounted rapidly and the clouds
melted into an expanse Of sapphire.

Principle of Regulation.

The last section OF the House bill has
no counterpart in Senate bill 1912. It
appears to be the purpose of this section
To direct the commission in unmistakable
terms to utilize in the interest of the
public all of the power conferred upon it.
while at the same time protecting the
public utilities from despoliation.
This section appears to sum up very
we'll the essential principle OF regula-
ton. Moreover, it may give some not un-
fair advantage to the commission If the
reasonableness of any rate it may have
fixed should become a subject of contro-
versy before a court of law. 1t is not
believed that any similar section has been
embodied in any other public utility law.
but the Commissioners cannot see how
the addition of it could otherwise than
strengthen and improve the Senate bill.

Presidents Sympathy Deep.

Presidents Sympathy Deep.
President Taft's sympathy for the at
fiicted man and his family is deep. but he
has strongly indicated that he will not be
swept from his duty. as he sees it, by his
emotions. His attitude is that if there is
chance for Mr.. Morse to recover his
health after securing his freedom, execu-
tive clemency will not be shown at this
time. If Mr.. Morse is really near deaths
door. as described by Atlanta dispatches,
and has only a brief time in which to
live. the President may grant the freedom
prayed for. The reports of army sur
geons up to a week ago were not unfavor-
able enough for the President to issue a
pardon. If Mr.. Morse has grown worse
and the newly appointed board Of ex-
perts reports to this effect, the chances
favor a pardon
The President. as frequently stated, has
directed that he be kept in close touch
with the condition Of the prisoner and
that he be notified Of any change for the
worse.
The President has confidence in the
board now examining Mr.. Morse and will
be guided largely by its advice He Sc
lected the board with care and is assured
of having the case definitely settled for
the present by the report he will get
either by wire or in person, according to
the condition of Mr.. Morse today.

the report that the dependency OF T,irke-
