Porfirio Diaz!" President Madero, his
closed automobile surrounded by the
1870 members of the presidential

end there was no applause, and Ma
dero returned to Chapultepec as ST

most to the shore. and the tragedy oc-
Cured within one hundred feet of
frantic people on the beach.
All but one was able to swim I'M
der ordinary conditions, but could do
nothing against the high wind and
heavy surf
One man, who battled valiantly
against the storm and saved two lives
besides his own, is ravinG in dclirium,
declaring that he was responsible for
the loss OF life. That was William
Negus, petty officer and able seaman.
1T was my fault" he cried. Il could
have saved them. ! could have
bcached the boat, and they would all
have reached shore

tragedy, declared that Negus did all
that he could have done when he
dropped anchor near the shore
In full view of hundreds of people
along the shore the boat capsized.
The lake was alive with struggling
boys Many Of them had never been
in rough water before. They were
of the newest recruits.
They struck out strongly for the
shore. but there was an undertow in

WILL NOT ADMIT HER TO HOUSE
AFTER SACRIFICE.
Door Barred to Woman Who Pawned
Jewels to Save Husbands
Art Works.

New York, Sept 17.-There will be
no reconciliation between Maj. Gen.
Sickles, the aged veteran OF two wars,

known that General Sigkles refused 10
see the woman from whom he mas
been estranged for twenty-seven years
and who recently pawned her jewelrv
to prevent the sale at auction OF her
husbands personal property, ana
turned her away from his home.
Last Thursday afternoon Mrs.
Sickles, accompanied by her son Stan
ton. called at the splendid home or
General Sckles. She was smiling as
she rang the front door bell. She
bore good news. A few hours before
she had effected the liquidation of her
husbands debt, amounting to sS,2O0,
owed to the Lincoln Trust company.
The money with which this debt was
Cancelled had been obtained by pawn
Ing her jewels.
Her face lighted as the door to her
husbands home opened. The high
spirited Spanish woman forgot the
blow her pride had suffered in her
trip to the pawnshop as she announced
herself and made as If to enter. She
was stopped by the butler; the smile
left her face as she was told that she
must not enter; that there were or
ders to the effect that neither she nor
her son should be permitted to walk
through the door
These orders had been issued by
Miss Eleanor Earle Wilmerding,
housekeeper for General Sickes for
fifteen years, Upon being refused au-
dience with her husband, the aged
woman asked to see Miss Wilmerding,
but the latter sent out word that she
could not be disturbed Large tears
in her world-weary eyes, Mrs. Sickles
returned to her apartments in the Ho-
tel Marlton with her son.

No IMMUNITY FOR
HARVESTER HEADS
Civil Suit to Dissolve Corporation
Is Begun.
CRIMINAL ACTION is LIMITED
Perkins, Mccormick, Deering and
Other Leading Spirits Are Not
to Be Called to Witness
Stand.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-There Is to be
no immunity bath" for George w.
Perkins, Cyrus II. Mccormick, Charles
Deering or other leading spirits in the
organization of the International Har'
vester company, which, the govern
ment charges, was formed in violation
of the Sherman antitrust act.
Neither Perkins, Mccormick nor
Deering. it was announced, will be
called as witnesses in the pending
civil suit to dissolve the corporation,
in which the initial hearing OF evil
dence was held in Chicago. They viii
not be asked to testify on the ground
that such testimony would grant them
immunity.
May Prosecute Criminally.
This announcement gave the nrst
intimation that the government Is
contemplating the possibility or GRIM
inal prosecution against the men re-
sponsible for the formation of the
giant combine.
Joseph K. Darling, special agent OF
the department of justice in charge OF
the preparation OF evidence against
the harvester company, made known
the fact that the three men were not
to be summoned
"The government does not propose
to allow these men to gain immunity
by testifying in the civil suit he
explained. 1T will be remembered
that the packers in the 1906 prosecu-
ton of the beef trust gained an I'M
munity bath because OF Information
which they furnished the government.
We do not intend to have similar
thing happen in the prosecution or
the harvester company"
Does that mean that the big men
in the harvester trust will be prose
cuted criminally?" Mr. Darling was
asked.
1T means that the government Will
take no chances OF granting them i'm
munity from such prosecution he
replied ~
Depend on Small Officials.
Such evidence as the government
wants in the civil suit will be obtained
from the subordinate officers of the
International Harvester company and
from men who, though actively con-
cerned in the promotion of the trust
have taken no active part in its man
agement for years and are thereby
protected from possible prosecution
by the statute Of limitations.
Mr.. Perkins has been active In the
company ever since its incorporation
as a member OF the tenyear stock vot-
ing trust, which expired August l,
1912, and az a director and chairman
OF the finance committee. Cyrus II.
Mccormick, president Of the com
pany, was also a member Of the vot-
ing trust, as was Charles Deering.
William II. Jones, almost an octo-
genarian, came from retirement OF
four years In response to a subpoena
to tell about the organization of the
combine. He is still vice-president
of the harvester company, but has
no active duties. Formerly he was
president Of the Plano Manufacturing
company, which became a part of the
trust. Clarence S. Funk, general man
ager OF the harvester company, was
the only other witness examined.
