MADERO'S DEATH
LIST WAS LARGE
Said DepOSed President Had
Planned Slaughter.
ENEMIES SEEK REVENGE

Men Who Are Alleged to Have Been
Marked for Execution Are Using
Their Influence to Bring About His
Summary Execution.
Mexico City, Feb. s2.-Charges
which are not altogether substantial
ed we're made by the new authorities
tending to indicate that the Madero
administration in its extremity was
contemplating wholesale slaughter
More than one alleged list of names
of those prescribed has been found
A police officer declares that Fran.
cisco Madero personally and verbally
gave him list of forty-three deputies,
number of senators and all the
newspaper men, including the foreign
correspondents, with instructions TO
have them asssssinated. The police
officer said that since this order was
not in writing he did not feel obliged
to carry it out.
Such stories as this have created a
bitter sentiment against Francisco
Msdero and have caused a number of
men whose names were on the lists
to use their influence to bring about
summary punishment for the deposed
president.
Solicitude for the personal safety
of ex-President Madero was given by
Provisional President Huerta to diplO-
mats as the reason why Madero can
not be removed from the capital for
the present. The president added
that the investigation of the records
of the Madero administration was be-
ing continued.

WILL BE GIVEN A HEARING
Washington Learns Madero Is Not 10
Be Summariy Executed.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Francisco l.
Medero, deposed president of Mexico,
will not be railroaded to Jail, thrown
into a mad house of summarily exc
cuted by Provisional President Huerta,
according TO reports from Ambassa-
dor Wilson. Madero, the ambassador
reports, will be given a fair trial and
possibly the worst fate that will await
him viii be exile
Secretary Knox, with the approval
of President Taft, had instructed Am
bassador Wilson to convey to Huerta
in diplomatic terms the intimation
that the United States would serious
ly object to a summary execution or
sentence of Madero. 1t was not felt
here that the former president should
be put out of the way for crimes
which seemed purely political, without
a fair and open trial.
This view was made plain to Huerta
and the fact was not concealed that
the United States looked with disfa.
vor upon the shooting OF Gustavo
Madero, the presidents brother.
Entitled to Hearing.
The administrators attitude toward
the provisional government in Mexico
was discussed at the cabinet meeting
President Taft and Mr.. Knox have
never believed, ii is said, that Madero
was strong president for a republic
sown with revolution.
They have believed. however, that
he had displayed many humane traits
and that he is entitled to a hearing.
They have no particular interest. other
than that Of humanity, in what is
done with him, II II is done In legal
fashion.
According to Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz orders from Mexico City for the
release from prison of Diaz adherents
have not been obeyed and such impor-
tant officers as the customs house ad.
ministrators, inspectors of police and
commanding officers of the Mexican
gunboats in Vera Cruz harbor not
only have refused to recognize the
provisional government but have dis
cdssed means OF resistance.

CRIMSON ELEVEN
IN GOOD TRIM
:
Warriors Come Out of the
Tulane Game in Good
Condition

University, October 29.-(Special )-The
out yesterday, consisting chiefly on run
ming signals, as the entire squad was
more or less bruised and sore from the
Tulane game. Fortunately no man was
injured to any extent. Smith, who hurt
his ankle in the Georgia game, appeared
for practice and should be in condition
for the Sewanee game.
Yesterday hard scrub game took place
during which the Varsity worked out
several new formations, which were valu-
able against Tulane.
At the present all are looking forward
to the Sewanee game of November s,
but Coach Graves Is not allowing his
men to become overconfident in regards
to Mississippi college. With the excep-
ton of Georgia, a harder game is expect
ed from Mississippi college than from any
previous game Alabama can't afford to
take chances by playing their second
team men, but it is the desire to have
all the old men in shape for the Sewanee
game.
The changes made after the recent Blr-
mingham struggle. proved their worth at
Tulane and will be continued. Joplin,
who has been playing at substitute quar-
ter will be in the future worked in the
backfeld. Hagin Is improving as quar-
ter and Nathan can be used IL he Is in
jured.
The scrubs will play Birmingham High
school on the campus Saturday.

IL is found that several of the players
are bruised up with minor injuries,
though none that will prevent the squad

Mid-term examinations are on this week
so that there will practically be no foot

studying for their examinations the play
ers will have. a chance to nurse their
bruises.
Auburn will breathe a sigh of relief
when the Louisiana State university game
is over, especially If 1t is on the right
side of the ledger Auburn was fortu-
nate in beating them last year when on
fumbled punt Kearley ran for a touch /,
down. They had the best looking lot of
material that Auburn went against, not
barring anybody. With the exception
of one man they have all of last years

there of any weight. Taylor's work at
end also showed Improvement, though
he showed a disposition to use his hands
while interfering. The backfield ought
to improve with each game, because,
while they have all had some expert
ence, they are all In new positions with
the exception of Newell. Arnold is new
at quarter, Kearley was an end last
year and the fullbaclss, Harris, Christie

backs.
While the interference was effective
against A. and NJ, it slowed up as the
game went on and toward the end of the
game the man with the ball was out
running his interference. The most en-
couraging feature of it was the way the
linemen got around the ends and helped
the backs.
There is still good deal of surplus
weight in the line that will have to come
off during the next week or two. Lock
wood still weighs over 220 pounds stripped
and he has IL or Is more pounds to get
off before playing in his best form. There
are others in the same position.
New plays are being added on this
week for the Louisiana State university
game, and they will be needed Auburn
will be satisfied to win by anytscore, how
ever small. 1t is dead certainty that
scores will be few and far between in
that game. Either side will find scoring

TICKETS FOR IMPORTANT
GAMES IN GREAT DEMAND

New York. October 29.-Any lingering
doubt of the popularity of intercollegiate
football, even under the revised playing
rules, is removed by the deluge of appli-
cations pouring In upon those in charge of
ticket distribution for the big games of
the season. This demand surpasses any
previous record and from present indica-
tions the seating capacity of the various
fields upon which the Yale-Harvard,
Army-Navy. Harvard Princeton, Penn
sylvania-C Cornell and Princeton Yale
games will be played will be unequal to
them.
One of the surprises In the season is the
increased interest in the Army Navy game
to be played in this city November 90 It
was thought that with the transfer of the
contest from Franklin field, Philadelphia,
to the Polo grounds, the 1000 seats would
accommodate all those who wished to
witness the play. Such, however, is not
likely to be the case, and 1t is possible
there will be no public sale of seats as
was originally planned.
For several years there has been no
public sale of tickets for the Yale Harvard
and Prineeton-Y Yale games. The ticket sit
uation has reached the point where tre-
mendous demand offers a promising field
for spectators. To cope with this evil

Everard Thompson, manager of the
ticket department, said the demand this
year broke all previous records. Rough
estimates placed the number of applica-
tions anywhere from 10000 and upwards
in excess of the $4,000 seats.

A. & N. WARRIORS
PRACTICE TACKL|NG

Starkville. October 29.--(Special)
Returning from a disastrous trip to
Birmingham, where the Aggies receive ed
one of the worst beatings in the his
tory of the school. they were met by
the loyal student body at the train and
rendered one of the biggest ovations
of the year. This acted as balm to the
many sore hearts and bruised bodies
who had gone down to defeat before
the strong Orange and Blue eleven, and
they resolved to forget the severe lac
ing and fight hard for the remainder
of the games
Coaches Chadwick and Hayes have
had the squad tackline old Isaac" the
tackling dummy, long and hard every
day since their return. The poor tack
ling at Birmingham was one of the
chief reasons of a, and MS downfall
and the coaches have been working
hard to overcome this serious blunder
Practice has been chiefly devoted to
open field tackling and hard scrim-
images. A. and MS poor defense against
Auburn was a thing unheard of in the
previous games and the admirers of
the Maroon and White are unable to
account for the lines poor showing.
However, with the big Texas game
every man is working hard and earn
estly to get into trim. The team came
out of the hard game with Auburn
with but a few minor injuries, hence
have had to lose no time in getting
down to work. Much Improvement has
been noticed in the lines playing and,
with the two remaining days of prac-
tice. 1t should give a good account of
itself in the game against Texas A.
and NJ.
The team will leave Thursday morn
ing 20 strong, arriving at Dallas about
Friday noon. This will give them a
short rest before the game. While the
trip may prove a serious handicap to
the Mississippians. 1t is the popular
belief that they will make a strong bid
for the game. Last year the same team
defeated Mississippi A. and NJ. by
score of AZ to Z. A. and NJ being the
first team to score on them that year.
Texas has powerful line and a heavy,
fast backfield. They are well versed
in all the finer points of the game.
thus being able to vary their attack
without losing any of their scoring
strength. But with all this advantage
the hackers of the farmer boys think
that A. and M. has a good chance to
bring back the bacon.

SPECIAL MEETING OF
CITY commission
Will Be Held Saturday to
Consider Kelley Fran
chise Matters

A special meeting of the city COM
mission will be held Saturday after
noon at o'clock to consider matters
regarding the Kelley interests street
railway franchise. What feature of the
situation is to come up at the con-
ference Is unknown.
1t Is reported, however, that the kel-
leys will ask for another extension of
30 days in their franchise, but official
information on the subject so far has
been lacking. BY the terms of a con-
tract entered into october l between
the city and the Kelleys 1t was agreed
that If any more time extension We're
to be asked for they could be but for
80 days and that a deposit of $4,000
would be required for each subsequent
extension. Therefore. it is generally
considered that if the Kelleys want an
other 80 days time that the commits
sion will not hesitate to give it to them
provided they pay over another $780,,
900.
Representatives of the II. z. Taylor
Co, of Pittsburg, Pa, the financial
hackers of the Kelleys, are expected
to attend the meeting OF the commits
sion Saturday. The Kelley interests
will forfeit their franchise if they fail
to secure another extension in time and
fail to begin actual construction work
on their railway lines by next Monday
They have already been granted two
time extensions, one for 80 days anu
the other for 80, so that they would not
forfeit their franchises, and have de
posted with the city in all up to date
the sum of $4,000.
1t is understood that the extension Is
to be asked for again and that one OF
the principal reasons, therefore, thie
time will be some proposed minoi
changes in the Kelley route downtown
and ain the suburbs.
