| tered Mexico from the United States today
on his triumphant journey to the ancient
Aztec capital. The blare of trumpets, the
shouts OF viva Madero" and continuous
handclapping from balconies of houses
along the way greeted the former rebel
chief and his party.
| Bouquets rained thick and fast on the
Madero automobile and throughout the
procession the victorious rebel chieftajn
stood in his machine bowling and smiling
to the throng.
Crowds from Eagle Pass. Tex, and the
old Ciudad Porfirio Diaz swarmed the
bridges

Gateway of Flowers.
The party arrived at Eagle Pass, Tex,
at $50 O'Clock and were driven in automo-
biles across the international bridge. AT
| the middle of the bridge Madero was re-
| ceived In the embrace OF ". CRrranza, the
new governor of Coahuila- who escorted
him into Mexico through gateway of
| flowers, the arch OF which bore the In
seription ''Piedras Negras," signifying the
passing of the name Ciudad Porfirio Diaz
| from this town and the dawn OF a new era
! in Mexico
Though the hour was early, the crowd
had assembled long before the train ar
rived, and when Madero and his wife, fol-
lowed by the party of thirty. moved slowly
across the bridge in a procession of auto
mobiles, cheers rang through the air.
| The demonstration began at Eagle Pass
on the arrival OF the train early this morn
ing and reached it's climax at the center OF
the international bridge where the party
halted by an arch from which was draped
the red, white and green Of Mexico. As
Senor Madero approached the portiere
parted and a throng of Mexicans, a band
and scores of banners and pendants re
splendent in the morning sun were re-
vealed to him as cheers rang through the
air. Here the party paused and listened to
speeches by Senor Madero and Governor
Carranza
Senior Madero spoke of the freedom which
characterized his entrance TO Mexico and
figuratively referred to the general free
dom which-he said now prevailed in the
republic.

pal building he was escorted to a balcony,
where the only incident OF the day oo-
