Taken on Battlesl,ip.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Nov. 21.-Evaristo
and Daniel Madero, brothers Of the late
President Madero, were taken from the
United States consulate on board tho
American battleship Rhode Island in
the harbor here today.
The two Madero brothers were ac-
companied by four relatives, also want
ed by the Mexican authorities.
The fugitives' transfer from the con
sulate to a place Of safety afloat was
in direct defiance Of demand from
the commander Of the Mexican military
force at vem Cruz for their surrender
to him.
There had been some hints that force
might be used in taking them from the
consulate, and IL was not only out Of
consideration for tho Maderos' safety,
but also to prevent such an incident,
which must mean an immediate interna.
tional crisis, that II was deemed best
to put tho refugees III an entirely safe
place. They will be held on board the
Rhode Island pending further instruc.
tion from Washington.
The supposition was that they would
be turned over to a merchant vessel at
sea.
Consul Canada personally accompa.
MED the sextet from tho consulate TO

Of six American marines.
The Maderos were arrested In Mop-
terey some time ago, charged with plot
ting to turn that town over TO tho reb-
els. After remaining in prison here
until Wednesday, they were released on

CROWDINC PRACTICE
RAPED VIGOROUSLY

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 21.- Resolutions
calling for a better system Of schools
throughout the country were adopted
by the American Federation Of Labor
here today. The practice Of crowding
o large number Of children into one
room, as is done in many manufactur-
ing centers, was denounced. The en-
ployment Of more efficient teachers
was demanded, it being painted out that
the teacher was little more than a
nurse, to look after the children dur
ing the school hours.
More money for education and less
for snowy buildings and gymnastic up
paratus was demanded.
Another resolution was introduced
frowning on the teaching Of vocations
in the school, instead Of having the
child devote all its timc to academic
education.
