May Take Oath of Office as
Commissioner Before Leav-
ing Canal Zone.

Maj. Chester Harding. Corps Of Engi-
neers. United States Army, recently de-
tailed as Engineer Commissioner Of the
District Of Columbia, vice Lieut.. Col. Will
liam V. Judson, relieved, has notified
Adjt. Gen. Andrews by cable. from Pan
anna that he will sail from Colon Feb
ruary q for this city. 1t is estimated
that it will take him about six days to
make the trip.
Although Maj. Harding will not reach
this city before the latter part Of next
week. it is stated that no change will be
made in the original orders regarding the
District Engineer Commissionership.
Those orders detailed Maj. Harding as
Engineer Commissioner to take effect
February 2S and relieved Col. Judson
as of that date. Maj. Harding was di-
rected to proceed to this city .'at such
time will permit OF his assuming on
or about February os. 1913, the duty
herein assigned to him.
Delayed by Inventory.
Although not stated by Maj Harding
in his cable message to the adjutant gen
eral. it is assumed that he was obliged
to delay his departure from the isthmus
until he could complete an inventory of
the public property for which he is ac-
countable, of an estimated value of 81 900.
coo. preliminary to transferring il ,o his
successor in office.
In order that there may be no hiatus
in the business of the office of the Dis
trlct Engineer Commissioner between the
date OF the relief Of Col. Judson and the
date of the arrival here of Mai Hard
ing. it is expected that Maj. Harding will
subscribe to the usual oath of Office be-
fore his departure from the Isthmus of
Panama. in which case the senior assist
ant to the Engineer Commissioner may
then legally act for him until he is pre-
pared to assume his new duties in person.
Took Oath in Milwaukee.
A similar arrangement was made
four years ago, when Col. Judson took
the oath of office at Milwaukee, his
station at that time, three days before
he actually reported for duty at Wash
ington. AS now, the delay then was
due to the necessity of closing up the
affairs of one Office before assuming
those OF another.
Col. SJudson, who has been ordered
to report to Col. Goethals chairman
Of the isthmian canal commission, for
duty with the commission." has en-
gagged passage on the steamship sail

ent station OF Mai. Harding.

The official investigation into
the death OF Madero and Suarez
Saturday night is to be begun at
once, but the general belief pre-
walls that it will substantiate the
official versions OF the occurrence.
The fact that the bodies OF the
two statesmen were recovered in
the rear of the penitentiary was
explained today by the statement
that second encounter occurred
close to the building.
1t is said the automobiles ran
along a side road and that Madero
and Suarez jumped out, and were
running when they were caught
between the fire OF the guards and
the attacking party. this account
ing for wounds being inflicted on
them from different directions.
Huerta Protests Good Faith.
Provisional President Huerta and the
other authorities here are earnest in their
declarations that the government was act
ing in good faith and that the death Of
the prisoners was due solely to unforeseen
circumstances
With the passing of Francisco Madero
the general opinion prevails that the
tenseness of the situation has been re-
Eeved. There is a marked tendency on
the part of all classes to accept the new
order Of things. From various parts of
the country reports have been received
telling OF further adhesions to the new ad-
ministration.
Newspapers Herald New Era.
The morning newspapers also herald the
new era and prophesy immediate peace
and the early resumption of prosperous
conditions.
Gen. Huerta's government undoubtedly
has. for the present at least, the upper
hand of the country.

rived today TO discuss arrangements to
bring about peace in the south.

CONGRESS DATE SET
Wilson Announces April | for
Extra Session.
ON UNDERWo0D's ADVICE
Selection of the New Cabinet Of
ficers Yet to Be An
nounced.

TRENTON, y. j., February "a
President-elect Wilson announced that
the extra session of Congress would be
convened Tuesday, April l.
The governor declared that he arrived
at this decision as a result of letter
received today from Representative
Underwood, democratic House leader.
Il have waited said Mr.. Wilson, "to
learn just what the state of prepared
ness Congress was in for the business
Of the new session.
The governor said he had been cor
responding with Mr.. Underwood in this
connection, and had come to the con-
feasible date. He intimated that the
might be devoted to caucuses and con-
ferences.
Financial Questions Discussed.
Two editors of a Wall street news
paper called upon the President-elect to-
day. and urged that financial questions
receive his earliest consideration. In
discussing his talk with them after
ward Mr.. Wilson said:
Everybody is agreed that there should
be currency reform soon as possible
Cabinet Not Yet Chosen.
With his inauguration only week off
President-elect Wilson has not yet been
able to make final choice as TO the per-
sonnel of his cabinet. The lines are ad-
mittedly drawn closer and the field is
narrowing, but the status Of the slate to-
day showed incompletlon in some of the
most important posts
BY the governors most intimate friends
it is believed that William J. Bryan GER
tainly will be Secretary OF State. 1t is
known that Mr.. Bryan and the President
elect are in frequent communication.
No definite announcements concerning
the cabinet have come from Mr.. Wilson
and none will be made until the entire
cabinet is selected. One OF the reasons
for the President-elects reticence, it has
been explained, is that some men might
find it difficult to accept and this might
necessitate a recasting of the slate.
The President-elect continued today his
policy of silence on the Mexican stua-
ton.
