Washington, June THAT the state

connection with the diplomatic and
consular services and that the admin

how that fund is expended even to a
congressional committee was disclosed
at a hearing before the house commit

money to Albert Rosenthal, a Phila-

disbursing officer for the state depart
ment, testified that Rosenthal had

he had received $2,450.
Taft Backed Him Up.
Secretary Knox appeared before the
committee, but submitted nothing that
threw light upon the curious looking
bookkeeping of his department In his
refusal to reply to questions he was
fortified with a letter from President
Taft directing him to withhold all in
formation relative to the investigation
of the payment to Rosenthal and the
departments secret fund. Mr. Knox
was polite, but firm
The first congress of the United
States appropriated a fund to be used
by the president in secret diplomatic
work and each succeeding congress
has appropriated a similar fund" he
said. Neither the president nor any
one else is required to account for the
expenditure of that money. 1t is my
personal opinion that even a voucher
for payment of any part of it is not
necessary. | have directed that a
searching investigation OF the payment
for the Day portrait be conducted. If
any irregularity is shown, the facts
promptly will be disclosed and the
guilty persons punished. 1t has been
the rule for several years to pay for
portraits of secretaries of state out of
the emergency fund. The president
can eXpend it in any manner he may
see fit"

tary.

Torreon, Mex, June 4 ton board Ma
deros special trainD The bursting OF
bombs. the firing OF cannon and the
sharp cracking of musketry from the
ranks Of 5000 former insurrecto SOL
diers drawn up on both sides OF the
railroad track welcomed Francisco J..
Madero, Jr., and his party here at noon
today. Fully 10000 residents of the
town, including hundreds of Ameri-
cans and foreigners, participated in a
huge demonstration. and counting the
throngs gathered at various stations
en- route early today Senor Madero
has addressed nearly $4,000 people
whose shouts of viva Madero," still
are ringing in the ears of the Madero
party tonight.
The incessant firing of salutes. how
ever. which has been growing more in
tense as the party has penetrated fur
ther into the hotbed of pro Mexican
sentiment. caused change in the
schedule of the special train. instead
OF proceeding directly tonight to Ia
catecas the train left Torreon at nine
o'clock and an hour later was comfor-
tablv nestled on a siding TO continue
its journey to the Mexican capital at
davbreak.
The change was made with the dop-
bic purpose of giving those aboard
the special train an opportunity to
sleep and also of preventing some
malevolent person from tossing any
OF the festive bombs too near the cars.
Day Of Continuous Demonstration.
1t was a day of continuous demon
stration for Senor Madero, and one
which filled him with JOY, particularly
because it came from many of his
personal friends, the district compre
hended by San Pedro, Gomez Palacios
and Torreon having been foremost in
advocating the revolutionist cause
Quite a contrast. said more than one
resident of Torreon today, as leader
OF the revolution triumphantly entered
the town. They referred to the stir
ring scenes of two weeks ago when
the federals evacuated the town and
hundreds of Chinese were massacred,
the exact number killed, according to
the latest count, being 1903, and the
residents have not stopped gossiplng
as to whether the Cinnamon were the
innocent victims of the federal evacu-
alton, since much ammunition had
been stored in the Chinese district by
the federals, or whether the Chinese
actually did open fire on the insurrec-
tos as they entered the town.
Americans shuddered bit as they
talked to the visiting newspaper men
of these incidents. They said they

The payment for the portrait was

said, in conclusion.
House May Take It Up.
Chairman Hamlin said he would re-
port to the house that the administra-
ion had refused TO submit records de-
ed by the committee. A colloquy
\ cen Hamlin and the secretary f.
ma resulted in the suggestion that
the chairman might be allowed per-
sonally to inspect the particular rec
ord. That course probably will be fol
lowed.
Secretary Knox. in his letter to Pres
ident Taft, dated today, said:
This expenditure was covered by a
regular certificate issued under and

much as a compliance with this sum-
mons in the matter of producing the

direction as to what my action in obed

President Taft, in his reply, said

that new elections soon would be held
for the choice of president, with the
principles of mo reelection and effec-

Gomez Palacios, the next stop, was
the scene of a tumultuous demonstra.

lutte, chorus of girls sang, throng Of
5000 people formed solid mass
around the end of the train, small
boys climbed the high trees near by,
bugles were blown and hats tossed
high in the air as Senor Madero spoke
briefly of the reconquering of the lib
critics of the Mexican people.
The longest stop of the day, seven
hours, was at Torreon, where a lunch
con as well as a banquet was given
by his party. The town was alive
with color and moving crowds. The
street procession led by Senor Madero
drew half the population of 10000 to
the streets. Speeches We're incessant,
cheering was continuous and the cry
OF viva Madero" was never-ending.
The Mexican national hymn, sacred

at nearly every station en- route.

While not now an avowed candidate

doubtedly his name will be on the bal
lot when the election is held. He is
popular with the army and can rely
politically on what remains of the
Diaz machine.

At Madero Home.

At San Pedro. the home of Senior
Madero, which was reached at o'clock
this morning, one of the most enthusi-
astic demon strations of the day took
place. As the special train pulled in
about 900 insurrecto soldiers fired a
salute. Senior Madero stepped down
from his private car to a grandstand
erected a few yards away and an i'm
mense throng crowded every available
space around it. After a few speeches,
which wese constantly interrupted by
shouts of "Viva Madero," the ceremo-

SENATOR HILBURN'S
MOTHER DIES.
Passed Away at Her Home in
Texas last Saturday
President Hilburn Speaks of Her at
Mothers Day Service at Suther-
land College.

The aged mother of Hon. S. ]. Hill.
burn, state senator from Putnam county,
passed away at her home in Rising Star,
Texas, last Saturday. Owing to the alb
Sence OF Senator Hilburn, no particulars
of the death could be learned, but from
the reference made to her death by DR..
Hilburn, president of Sutherland Col
lege, at the "Mother's Day" exercises at
the college last Sunday, and reported by
the correspondent of the Tampa Tri-
bune, comes the following pathetic in
cident regarding the news of her death !:
Mothers Day, with all its tender
memories, was duly celebrated at South
ern College. DR.. Russell, in well
chosen words paid loving tribute to
motherhood, and pointed out the duty
of children to her who gave them being.
He said:
Motherhood symbolizes the greatest
human love, while the Lords Supper is
memorial of the greatest love in the
universe"
AT the close of the sermon, President
Hilburn said: "Mother's Day! 1t is most
fitting that should observe this day, as
it is my mothers first day in Heaven" !"
And he paid loving tribute to the dear
mother then lying in her far away Texas
home "asleep in Jesus" Those who
know the life of this noble "mother in
Israeli" as reflected in the beloved preSi-
dent, felt the truth of his words as he
portrayed her lovely Christian character.
The writer, who for three years has
stood closer to Dr. Hilburn than any
other in knowledge of the inner vital
work of Southern College, feels that the
success of this institution of the church
is due in no small measure to the de-
voted zeal of Mother Hilburn, and the
careful, Christian training of her chill
dren.
Sister Hilburn had reached the ripe
age of seventy-six, and with her hus-
band, Rev. A. S. Hilburn, now nearly
eighty years old, lived in Rising Star,
Texas. OF the five children living,
three of the four boys were guided by
her into the ministry, and the other,
Hon. Sam ]. Hiiburn, State Senator, is
one of Florida'S strongest and most lib
eral laymen.
Saturday afternoon telegram an
nounced the serious illness of Sister Hill
burn, and a few minutes after another
briefly read: "Your mother is dead. !"
If our church could have seen as saw,
the struggling of great soul between
tender love to mother and devotion to a
God given work, it might the more
truly appreciate the worth and sacrifice
of DR.. Hilburn as president of the South.
ern College. AT this close of the school
year, with the election of the faculty
which is TO carry on the great work OF
Christian education, and the discussion
and the shaping of vital financial poll
cies with the Board of Trustees, which
meets next Friday, DR.. Hilburn recalled
his mothers Injunction to "first dis
charge your duty to God and the
Church" Indeed, this sentiment was
repeated in the last letter her dear hands
penned to him. Mother-love pleaded
for visit home, and then enioined de-
yotion to duty.
