Plo. to XIII Gen. Madero.

Plans for the departure from
Juarez to Mexico City of Provisional
President Francisco | Madero. Jr.,
received a setback when a member
Of the FL Paso revolutionary junta
received a telegram from the CAPT
tai stating that persistent rumors
were in circulation there of plot to
assassinate Madero upon his arrival.
Beyond this bare statement the
message gave no details, but the
matter was considered SO serious by
the insurrecto leaders as TO result in
postponing the trip of Madero until
the reports are disproved or affairs
in the capital are in a more settled
condition
Every officer on the staff of the
provisional president had donated six
months salary as a fund for the
widows and children of insurrecto
soldiers killed during the revolution.

STORY
HOLLY DENIED
THAT STORY ABOUT A REVENGE
ON DETROIT az CUTTING
THE STATE FAIR.
MR.. HULL VERY FoRclsLY SAYS
THAT THERE Is NOTHING
OF THE KIND THOUGHT.
The Story as II Came From the
National Capital and the Manly
Denial Made.

The Michigan state fair has been
dragged into the Canadian reciprocity
issue by the Wolverine farmers who
are In Washington to fight the meas
ure, and 1t it said that, should a
delegation come from Detroit TO fight
for reciprocity. the farmers OF the
state will retaliate by avoiding the
state fair in Detroit next September.
President Snyder of the Michigan
Agricultural college declares his
doubt of any very strong pro-reci-
procity argument from Detroiters.
Detroit needs the farmers, the col
ege president insists, but the farm
er can get along without Detroit, as
other cities in Michigan can supply
the farmers needs other members
of the farmer delegation take the
same view. and they talk OF reprisals
against the Michigan metropolis if it
takes what the farmers believe is a
selfish stand for its own supposed
gain against the interests of the rural
districts"
The above story went the rounds
of the press and is completely shat
tered. Nathan p. Hull, of damon
dale, master Of the state grange, in a
letter to the State Fair society, de-
MES that he and the grange will use
their influence to line up the farmers
against the fair because of the atti-
tude of number OF Detroit business
men in favor OF reciprocity Mr..
Hulls letter to the fair officials is as
follows:
MY attention has been called 10
statements that have recently appear
ed in number of newspapers that
the grange would use it's influence to
keep the farmers of Michigan from
our state fair in an attempt to spite
Detroit. | hasten to assure you that
have never thought of such a thing.
nor have ever heard OF it suggested
either directly or indirectly until
saw it in the newspapers. In the
second place. | have no spite against
Detroit in any way. And in the third
place. | hope | am not small enough,
to try such pretty reprisal as that,
and this would be true were | not
cially connected with the fair.
am sure no one connected with the
fair took any stock in this story,
anyway, but there are some people
who are not acquainted with me who
might believe it,"
Mr.. Hull has just returned to his
home from Washington. He is vice
president of the Fair society.
