District engineer department officials

the teams constitute their only means Of

but. up to date. the engineer department
has shown no signs OF relenting.
Capt. Brooke's Suggestion.
The new rule was adopted on motion
OF Capt. Mark Brooke. assistant engineer
commissioner, who urged 1t on the
ground that the District should not per-
nit any practice which might be con-
strued as favoritism. Several instances OF
the employment by the surface division
of teams owned either by District en-
ployes or relatives of employees were
known to the oficials at the time of the
adoption of the order. but a great many
that they know nothing about then have
come to light since.

for the fact that a number OF early

owners Of teams who likewise should De

Instance Cited.
One instance given of the effect of the
new ruling is that Of an owner whose
wife's brother married the fourth cousin

lationship to bar future use by the sur

When asked when the warrant was to
be served on Miss Burns. Capt Holm

not give any information regarding the
matter He referred the reporter to Maj.
Sylvester, chief of police. He did state.
however that Miss Burns would be noti-

say when that would be.
The report that the police were unable
to find Miss Burns last evening, Capt
Hollinberger said was not true. Il gave
the policeman orders not to discuss the

that Miss Burns could not be located was

Maj. Sylvester declared he knew nothing

Herald. He discussed 1.-THE Relations OF
| the United States with the Latin Amer
lean Republics
Latin Mind Sensitive.
Ignorance in this country of the es-
sential conditions in Latin America Mr..
Grahame declared. has led to interna-
tional misunderstanding. to misconcep-
tions. and to doubts and suspicious which
have initiated against an extension OF
commercial and friendly relations. SO
necessary to the welfare of the entire
continent.
THE cultured and sensitive Latin mind, .
he continued. "resentS condescensiOn,
domination. or the suggestion of Unequal
ity. Prior to Senator Roots visit to South
America in 1906 there existed a very
wide distrust of American policy. Fortu-
nateiy, the eloquent and frank declara-
tions of the State Secretary to the effect
that the United States was actuated by
the sole purpose of promoting the friendly
intercourse of all the American republics
produced an entire change of feeling and
cemented the bonds of friendship.
Great Diplomats Needed.
THE services of the great diplomats of
the United States are more needed in the
capitals of some of the republics Of Cen

new REBELLION STARTED

Four Governors Reject General Huerta
and Are Forming Armed Forces.
Mexico City, Feb. 22-The fate Of
Francisco I. Madero lost first place In
the interest of the Mexican populace
on account of the more pressing con-
cern as to the extent to which Mexico
is yet in a state of revolution.
In spite of the termination Of hos
ti1ities in the capital and the establisn-s
ment Of a new administration, there
are indications of widespread trouble
in other sections of the country.
The disposition of the deposed pres
ident and vice president has not been
settled and was still the cause of some
anxiety, but this was regarded in many
quarters as of little consequence to
the nation compared with the problem
presented by the existing rebel forces
and the prospective rebels.
In view of General Huerta's personal
assurance to Sonora Madero that her
husband would not be killed, it is be-
lieved that some humane measure will
be devised for his elimination from
public life. 1t is probable that this
point will be discussed at the first
meeting of the cabinet, and also in
congress, which was reconvened in or
binary session.
The old story that Madero Is OF un-
sound mind has been revived and is
being actively circulated, which leads
to the idea that the government may
solve the problem by conining the ex-
president in an asylum.
General Pascual Orozco, according
to dispatches from Chihuahua, con-
ferred at Palomes with David De La
Fuente. who has been chosen from the
rebel list as cabinet minister. Orozco
will accompany Senor De La Fuente
to the federal capital in order person.
ally to express his allegiance to the
new government.
General Aguilar and Colonel De La
Llave, who have been in rebellion in
the south, are reported to be in accord
with the new administration.
On the other hand there has been
no intimation from Zapata nor from
the elusive Geneva De La o of their
conformity with the new order of
things.
Beyond this, reports have been re-
ceived from the north which appear
very serious, namely that the COVER
nors of four states-Aguascalientes,
Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Sonora
have openly refused allegiance.
Reports from the north confirm that
Venostiano Carranza, governor of the
state of Coahuila, is raising an army
Of rebels to fight in cooperation with
forces being assembled by Madero's
brothers. Carranza is said to have as
many as 600 men, and is using Sal.
tillo, the capital Of Coahuila, as his
base 1t is assumed by the govern.

Ambassador Wilson Makes Demand on
| General Huerta For Fair Trial For
| Deposed President.
Washington, Feb. 21.-Intercession
by President Taft in behalf of Fran
cisco l. Madero, Jr., will probably save
the life of the deposed president OF
| Mexico. -..-..--.
! At least it will guarantee him a
Fair trial before some court of justice
and thereby avoid any summary action
which might have been contemplated.
| Ambassador Wilson reported that on
instructions from the state department
he had eXacted promise of General
Huerta that an impartial trial be &C
corded Madero and that it is possible
| that exile is the worst fate that awaits
! him.
In making his demands of General
Huerta, Ambassador Wilson did not
| conceal the fact that the United States
also looked with disfavor upon the
shooting of Gustavo Madero, the presi.
dents brother.
This intercession by the United
States was announced by Secretary
Knox at the cabinet meeting and was
an unexpected development of the
state departments policy in regard to
the Mexican republic. AS recently rs
Thursday it was announced that there
was no intention to depart from the
policy Of non-intervention in the Mexi-
can troubles.
It appears, however, that this state
ment was based upon the natural as
sumption that the newly established
Mexican government would observe
the amenities of civilized warfare in
it's treatment Of prisoners Of either
high or low degree, and when the kill
ing of Gustavo Madero gave ground
for genuine apprehension for the fate
of the ex-president, it was felt that the
time had come to stretch forth a re-
straining hand.
