.onstration in favor of Porfirio Diaz
and marking, in the opinion OF many,
the beginning of another serious up
rising against President Madero, be-
gan here tonight and at a late hour
was unchecked.
Great crowds gathered In front of
the chamber of deputies at nightfall
carrying banners bearing pictures of
former President Diaz. Waving
their banners they paraded the streets
shouting Viva Porforio Diaz! Death
to Madero!''
A wild demonstration started and
spread over the city like wildfire,
thousands joining in it. Up to late
hour the police had made no serious
effort to check the paraders, but the
minister of war ordered out the cav
airy, foot soldiers and rurales com
lprising the city's garrison. The po-
| lice, foot and mounted, we're also
heavily armed, in preparation for
trouble.

Of the Rule Of Madero Who Had Pro-
m.sed So Many Blessings.
WILD DEMONSTRATION ON The STREETS
Plot to Gust President Involves the Entire Fed
eral Army and Extends All Over
the Country.

Aqua Prieta by courier and General
Sanjines with one thousand cavalry
left this afternoon for the scene. Re
ports received in Douglas late today
said the battle at Ceneisa Springs still
was in progress.
At Ell Tigre the situation is said to
be desperate for the camp and for
the seventy or more Americans, IN
cluding six American women, in the
town. A late courier said the garrison
was exhausted and nearly out of am
munition. Grave fears are felt at
Douglas for the Americans at Ell Tigre
as Salazar has said he would kill all
he found in the camp.
The DIaz Plot.
Secret service men or the Mexican
government today notified President
Madero that the plot which involves
| the entire Mexican army and which
plans a general revolt on Monday to
loyerthrow Madero and re-establish the
1 rule of Porfirio 5Diaz, is more wide
spread than at first believed, 1t is
said General Huerta is to be proclainn,
ed the military leader with Pascuai
Crozco associated with him, Francisco
IDe LaBarra provisional president and
Emilio yasquez Gomez cabinet min
lister. Orozco's army, which now is
within thirty miles of Juarez, is to
join the forces of Huerta, it is said.
The rebels in Sonora under Salazar
and Rojas are to be taken if they will
promise to stop looting and peace is
to be restored in Mexico by combin-
ing the federal army and the rebel
forces in the overthrow of the Madero
4 government.
Talk is Not Stopped.
i The plot is common talk in Ell
Paso and Juarez and no attempt is
made by federals here to put stop
to it,
4 Rebel bands tonight encircle
Juarez, occupying every town within
a radius of thirty miles and Huerta is
making no effort to dislodge them.

Salary Test Case Comes

Las Vegas, N. NJ, Feb. Is.
Tomorrow is the day set by Dis
trict Judge, David j. Leahy for
hearing arguments in the two
test cases to determine the mat
ter Of whether or not county Of
ficials have the right to receive
as their compensation the fees
and allowances provided for un-
der the old territorial law, or
whether they must wait until
the state legislature in its wis
dom passes a county salary bin
One suit is an action in man
damus to compel the county
treasurer of San Miguel county
to pay Lorenzo Delgado, county
clerk, one weeks salary. The
other is to compel the same off
cial to paw District Attorney C.
w. G. Ward a small fee. 1t is
planned that when decision is
rendered and regardless of how
the matter isp decided by Judge
Heahy, to appeal directly to the
court for final action.
Attorney General Clancy recent
ly.rendered an opinion that coun-
ty officials are entitled to their
fees pending an enactment Of al
salary law. On the other hand
District Attorney Ward holds
that the state constitution spec
provides that all fees
shall be covered into the public
and that public officers
are prohibited from converting
them to their own use. If Mr..
Wards contention is upheld by
the supreme court county Off

Hurry Up Cali

Get busy little cupidl
DO business with your bow
The man who makes statistics
Declares that you are slow.
Last year I heard that fewer
Results for you are claimed
Than in the years proceeding
You ought to be ashamed.
I'm told that you are guilty
Of loafng on the job;
That where in former cases
You caused a heart 60 throb
You have discarded methods
That one time were applied
And puzzle now concerning
The cash on either side.
You take a little maiden
Who should Of guile be free
And lead her to consider
The money question, see?
You let man dodge the lady
And fend each friendly glance
Till he has made his fortune
Before he takes a chance.
You ought to mend your man
ners
And in the background shove
Such things as ready money
And deal once more in love
You ought to cut out business
And play your storied part
To old romantic notions
That count on but the heart.
Clipped.
