.DIAz RESORTING
TO DESPOTISM
With Huerta He Is Exercising
Get-Even Policy Enemies
Quickly Put Away.

Former President Madero Taken to
Vera Cruz and Banlshed and His
Estates Reported conhseated-EN.
eeutlon Of Madsro's Brother De-
nouneed on All sldes-Many sus-
poets Imprisoned.
Mexico City, Feb. 2O.-The new gov
ernment began by exercising despotic
authority and merciless severity, The
discovery Of a prescribed list among
Madero's private papers actuated
General Diaz and General Huerta to
extreme measures. Gustavo Madero,
the presidents brother. and the most
hatea Of the Maderistas, was executed
In the arsenal after a perfunctory
courtmartial had condemned him to
death as an enemy Of the republic.
Marco Fernandez, a brother Of the
Madero minister OF the interior, was
shot to death by Huertas troops for
refusing to cheer for the new dictator.
Many we're imprisoned Francisco
Madero win be banished from Vera
Cruz today and the estates Of him
self and family will be contisoated by
the government.
The coup d'etat which so suddenly
shattered Madero's authority was as
dramatic an event as can be found in
the annals OF the Mexican republic.
It appears that General Diaz was not
consulted in the preliminary acts Of
the intra-government revolt, and that
Huerta and Banquet, having over
powered the Maderos and extinguish-
ed their influence, daringly called
upon Felix Diaz to make good his as
sertion that he would end the revolt
after Madero and the Madero cabinet
had been deposed. That there was a
liberal use of money nobody doubts,
and it is confidently asserted that
General Diaz agreed to support the
coup d'etat only after General Huerta
and General Banquet had promised
him their support for the permanent
presidency.
Banquet, the soldier OF fortune,
was Francisco Maderos evil genius
Huerta, the general always to the de
factor government, deserted the cause
Of Madero only after Blanquets
troops had completed the overthrow
of the government.
One of the first political acts of the
successful mutineers was the sending
Of a messenger to Henry Lane Will
son, the American ambassador, with
the news of the overthrow of the gov
ernment and a request that the am
bassador mediate with General Diaz
Mr.. Wilson had an interview with
General Huerta and consented to act
as mediator. Huerta offered to Diaz
his support If Diaz should decide to
be a candidate for president at the
regular election, provided Diaz would
consent to recognize him as the tenn
porary head of the government and
cease fighting.

cry and Frank Gibbons, a young married

out demanding requitsition papers.
Gibbons was found at his home, where
he made no effort to escape arrest. His
mother collapsed when the officers placed
him under arrest and started from the
home TO bring him to this city prisoner.
They drove past the home of VIM. N.
Hough his father-in-law and the latter
accompanied them to Portland, later 60
ing on the bond of Gibbons, after the lat
ter demanded that he be arraigned in
court. A plea of not guilty was entered
10 the charge by him.

ney Jacob i. Denney and the latter with
