GENERAL DIAz
REFUSED PARDON
President Madero, Of Mexico,
Won't Interfere.

Mexico City, Mex, Oct 29.-Presi
dent Madero Las refused to pardon
r General Felix Diaz, the insurgent
leader, who was captured by Genera!
Beltram's federals at Vera Cruz and
sentenced to death by court martial
Although court order was issued
against the execution Of Diaz, his fate
was unknown. His friends said tina,
in view of the conditions prevailing
the federals at Vera Cruz had disre
garded the order of the civil courts
staying the death sentence and had
shot Diaz to death along with Other
insurgents captured there.
Madero is said to have expressed re
gret that he pardoned General Ber
nardo Reyes, who was convicted OF
taking up arms against the govern
ment. Reyes is now in prison and
may be arraigned again at any time
as Madero asserts that he has knowl
edge that he is plotting with followers
of Diaz for another outbreak.
Details of a clash between Captain
Hughes, commander Of the United
States cruiser Des Moines, and Ad
miral Azuiate, of the feet of Mexican
gunboats, in the Vera Cruz harbol
while the fighting was going on last
week, reached the capital. When Cap
tain Hughes saw that fighting was in
evitable he sent word to the Mexican
admiral that he must respect the neu
trality zone
"If you fire shot into the city that
Injuries a foreigner or foreign prop
erty, or if you shoot into a foreign
ship in this harbor, I will sink your
feet" was the warning sent by the
American.
What if I should sink the Des
Moines?" was the message sent back
by Azuiate. THAT is up to better
man." responded Hughes.
The Mexican gunboats did not fire a
shot During the fighting in Vera Cruz
the Des Moines occupied a position
between the Mexican feet and the
shore, with her twenty-five guns train
ed on the Mexican gunboats.

two o'clock in the afternoon, and after
binding and gagging the one girl EN-
ploye, Miss Alice Brenners, the cash
Ter, who was there at that time, took
$1,000 from the safe and disappeared.
The robbery took place a block from
police station in the most heavily
policed precinct in Brooklyn and with
In q few blocks Of the home of Mayor
Gaynor.
The hold-up men planned well. They
came on a day when Superintendent
w. A. Alexander was away, and at an
hour when the second girl employe
was out at luncheon. Miss Brenners
was alone in the small glass inclosure
which serves the double purpose of a
private Office and cashiers cage.
Two of the men represented them
selves as telephone men, who had
come to test the telephone, and were
readily admitted to the inclosure by
Miss Brenners. The two men grabbed

VICE PRESIDENT
STEADILY FAILS
Doctor Says Mr.iSherman is
Seriously ILL.,
FAMILY At HIS BEDSIDE
He Rallies Under Strong Medicines.

He Rallies Under Strong Medicines.
No Immediate Danger of Death, PLY.
sician Reports.
Utica, N. Y, Oct. 29. - James s.
Sherman, vice president of the United
States, is seriously i'll and steadily
failing at his home here.
While his physician, DR.. Fayette II.
Peck, believes there Is no immediate
danger of death, the distinguished pa
TENTS condition is such that 1t is q
matter of conjecture how much longer
he can withstand the ravGges of the
disease with which he is afflicted.
DR.. Peck authorized this statement
regarding Mr.. Sherman's illness and
his present condition:
'Mr. Sherman has been sick all OF
this year, due to the condition of the
kidneys, hardening of the arteries and
softening of the muscles of the heart,
which is somewhat stretched. Mr..
Sherman had an attack in the Ad1ron-
dacks, at Big Moose, to be exact, in
June, and 1 expected him to die. He
got out of Big Moose safely and inn
proved steadily and very satisfactorily
until the latter part of August. Since
then his condition has been aggravat-
ed and he has been steadily failing.
For the last three weeks, since he
came back from Connecticut, where he
went to rest, he has been dressed only
once, and that was week ago Friday,
when against my protest he went out
to the polls to register.
"Mr. Sherman is now In the condf
ton which that sort of trouble leads
to and is very seriously i'll, but there
is, I believe, no immediate danger OF
death"
After a day of discouraging symF
toms Mr.. Sherman rallied and con-
tinued to show improvement. This -
due in no small measure to powerful
medicines. Whether or not he can
much longer successfully combat TIE
attack of kidney trouble and compH-
cations is a matter of grave doubt.
The members of his family are with
him constantly, and his intimate
friends have been notified that he has
been failing steadily.
Close friends of Mr.. Sherman admit
that his condition is very serious No
that he has had, sinking spells at niS
during the summer.
The vice president is suffering fEof1s
a complication of ailments which have
induced weakness In heart actiS * ans
he experiences great difhcu1ty ii Id, sssss,
breathing. He has been i'll since last
spring, but was believed to be iecov.
ering. A week ago he insisted On 20
ing to the polls to register, although
he had been warned by DR.. Peck that
such action might be dangerous. Upon
his return he was forced to go to Fed.
and the doctor was hurriedly called.
On Saturday the members of the fam
fly were greatly alarmed, but the sud
den relapse seemed to give way to
treatment
The extended rest which the vice
president had been directed to take
has failed to bring about any improve-
ment in his condition. His strength
has gradually weakened since some
four months ago, when his heart be-
gan to trouble him. An examination
at that time showed that he was SUI
fering from myocarditis, an affection
Of the muscles of the heart.
