published a story that army officers had
planned to proclaim him president and use
their forces TO place him at the head Of the
nation.

held nightly by clubs formed to honor
the hberAtor OF the country"
Among these clubs there is one formed
today whose membership Is entirely femi-
nine. It Is named the Sara Perez Madero
club" after Madero's wife.
