problem which IS being discussed anx-

Suggestions are made by serious pub

and go on hunger strike should be
left to starve rather than be permitted

unity. Milder suggestions include the
necessity to pass new laws to meet
exceptional cases. to deprive the hun

heavy fines upon lawbreakers and thus
deplete the funds which support the
militant campaign.

Situation Discussed
Unless some strong hand or power re-
stores the order which it has been i'm
possible for the Mexican people to re-
store in the last few years" United States
Senator Fall declared in a speech here
tonight conditions will obtain through
out Mexico that are worse than 1t is
possible to imagine"
Conditions in the republic beyond the
Rio Grande today. he said, are such that
there are whole states, which, if peace
We're restored tomorrow would be long
prostrated from the turmoil and destruc-
tion that have prevailed for two years.
Senator Fall a member of the sub
committee of the senate committee on
foreign relations which has been investi-
eating the Mexican situation, spoke be-
fore the Mexican society
He was followed by Alfonso j.. Jiminez,
Mexican vice consul in this city. who de-
clared Senator Fall was "woefully mis-
informed" regarding conditions in Mex
leo. The republic is not in ruins, he de-
clared, nor is it facing anarchy. The
Madero regime he described as very
sad," but it had taught Mexico that the
country is not yet ready for form of gov
ernment of the United States. Senior Jimi-
nez prophesied that Porfirio Diaz will re-
turn and give to Mexi,o's new ruler the
Benefit of his experience, but will not
seek the presidency because of his age.
Peace will reign in Mexico within a year,
he declared and the country will be pros
porous.

Merciless Repression

Merciless Repression
Provisional President Huerta's peace
programme as outlined to the newspaper
men, If carried out means merciless re i.
preston If repression should be necessary
In effect 1t is a promise to use the iron
hand policy used so effectively by Por-
fro DiaZ When he was president. 1t is
regarded by most people as certain to be
leeded but the skeptical express doubt
as to its efficacy, at least for long
time. While an emisary mas been sent
to Coahuila to confer with Governor Car
ranzas, most persons believe that the in-
fluence of Maderos brothers in that dis
impossible. The killing of Gustavo Ma
dero practically assures the cooperation
of Governor Villareal, Gustavo's father
in-law, of the adjoining state of Nueva
Leon In the movement against the new
government.
What was talked of by Madero and
Suarez and their wives, who were per-
mitted to see the prisoners for the first
time today, is not known. The guards,
out of considerat tion, busted themselves
on the opposite side of the room from
the two couples, but they say ii was
plainly evident that the prisoners and
their wives We're deeply affected. The
women appeared to be attempting to
cheer up the men, on leaving the pal
ace both women tried bravely not to
display any emotion. Just outside the
door and along the wall a line of ar
tillery mules stood feeding while SOL
diers and camp women loafed about
the patio In which stood the automo-
biles and carriages of the members of
the diplomatic corps who were being
received for the first time by the new
President in the rooms almost imme-
diately above those in which Madero
and Suarez are kept prisoners. Today's
probably will be the last interview
Sonora Madero and Sonora Suarez Will
have for some time with their hus-
bands as. after their departure, strict
orders TO keep all prisoners incom-
municado were issued. The two women
attempted to see President Huerta, but
on account of the press of official bus
mess he was unable to receive them
An appointment was made for tomor-
row.
Execution Not Probable
That either Madero or Suarez will
be executed is not probable, but a
group of deputies will make an earn
est effort to fix upon Madero the re-
sponsibility for the alleged disappear
ance from the national treasury of
much money. Unable to get together
this afternoon in regular session the

anti-governmen group met separ-
ately.

Preserved Lists Found

Charges which are not altogether SUBJ
stantiated We're made by the new author
tiles tending to indicate that the Madero
administration in its extremity was con-
emplating a wholesale slaughter More
than one alleged list of names of those
prescribed has been found. A policeman
declared that Francisco Madero personally
and verbally gave him list of 43 depu-
ties a number of senators and all the
newspaper men, including the foreign cor
respondents, with instructions to have
them assassinated. The police officer said
that since this order was not in writing
he did not feel obliged to carry 1t out.
Such stories as this have created a Bit
ter sentiment against Francisco Madero,
and have caused a number of men whose
names were on the lists to use their in
fiuence to secure summary punishment
foS the fallen President.
Solicitude for Madero's personal safety
was given by Provisional President HUI
erta to diplomats as the reason why Ma
dero cannot be removed from the capital
at the present. President Huerta recalled
to his visitors the attack upon the train
which bore ex-President Pirflrio Diaz
to Vera Cruz on his exile into Europe.
The President said the investigation OF
the Madero administration records was
being continued with close scrutiny.
