event was a ball given by Madero and
his wife to the citizens of Juarez and
Ell Paso last night. Four hundred
couples danced in the customs house,
in the same room where Taft and Diaz

ago. The elaborate decorations which
were used on the occasion Of that
meeting were in evidence at the dance.
Throughout today and tonight Ma

United States. Saturday morning
their car will be switched upon the
tracks of the Mexican Railroad at

MEXICO CITY. June 2.-Because OF
the critical situation confronting
Mexico, the arrival Of Francisco ].
Madero. Jr., is anxiously awaited by
Provisional President de la Barra.
Reports from nearly every quarter OF
the Republic tell Of a reign of terror
caused by bandits who are numbering
and plundering at win. Governors. sec
retaries of State, judges, Jefe politicos
and nearly every official named under
the Diaz regime have abandoned their
Offices after sending their designations
TO the proper officials. Without re-
straint from the authorities, a state OF
anarchy is threatened.
Because of the report that good
deal of the trouble comes from the
failure of Madero commanders to re-
strain their subordinates, de la Barra
has been loath to take the initiative in
suppressing disorder. AS soon as Ma
dero reaches this city he viii be asked
TO aid in restoring order.
Another cause of fear at present IS
the dangerously small supply OF FOOD
on hand. Prices are soaring sykward

SQUABBLE
OVER BONDS
City Treasurer Ross Declines
to Accept the Money in
One Lump Check
WANTS IT DISTRIBUTED
ACCORDING TO ORDINANCE

City Treasurer Howard d. Ross
yesterday afternoon declined to ac-
cept in one check from The Equitable
Guarantee and Trust Company, tho
entire amount offered for the $395,000
of city bonds sold recently to Kountze
Brothers, of New York, for whom the
Equitable Company was acting. The
. Equitable officials rendered the
amount in one check, but Treasurer
Ross insisted on the money being paid
to the city in separate accounts,
S264, 4,302.5O for the Street and Sewer
loan, S105,721 for the Park loan, $780,
674.45 for water bonds redemption
and S1,110.9S being accrued interest.
Mr.. Ross contends that under the
ordinances sanctioning the bond is
sues the money should be distributed
as he has asked In this City Auditor
Kurtz agrees with Mr. Ross. The
Treasurer says he not only is fol-
lowing the requirements Of the city
ordinance, but also by advice of his
counsel, Robert II. Richards. On the
other hand, Otho Nowland, president
of the Equitable Company, says the
bank is acting on the advice Of its
counsel, who is Willard Salisbury,
City Solicitor Brady and Mayor
Spruance in rendering the amount in
one check
May Settle Differences.
City Council last night gave Treas
urer Ross until Monday night to de-
liver the bonds to the Equitable Com
pany. Mr.. Ross today said he had
no intention of trying to hold up the
bonds. but he wishes the money dis
tributed I'm the manner the ordin-
ances require him, as treasurer, TO
cause It to be distributed.
Treasurer Ross early this after.
noon said he had just conferred witt
Mr. Nowland, president of the Equi
table, and the banks attorney, Mr.
Salisbury, and suggested that thu
money for the bonds be turned ovei
to him either in cash. or in a nego
table check for the full amount tha
would enable him 10 distribute thu
money legally, or a draft on New
York for the full amount. whicl
would enable him to make such dis
tribution. Mr.. Ross said that II tn
amount is payable to the Mayor ant
Council It would be impossible 70
him to carry out the ordinances ant
statutes regarding the bond issues.
No action had been taken by tn
Equitable to accept the proposition
early this afternon, and it was beini
considered.
Under the distribution outlined by
Treasurer Ross and Auditor Kurtz the
premiums from the bond sale would
