tanooga, and the new Army of the
Ohio, operating in east Tennessee.
The three armies were already involv-
ed in saving the fortunes of Chatta-
nooga when Grant took control on
Oct. 90.
The order which elevated Grant
above the heads of the three army
leaders removed General w. S. Rose
Grams from the command of the Army
of the Cumberland. For a year Rose
Grams had ably handled this army, and
he possessed the confidence of his
troops to a marked degree. His sue
cessor, General George III. Thomas,
likewise held the confidence of the
whole army, In which he had long
commanded a corps. The laurels of
Thomas happened to be fresh, for one
month before he had saved the inn
perlled army from disaster at Chicka
manga.

Before leaving Nashville Grant had
telegraphed Thomas to hold Chatta-

words when he reached the front. 1t
had become a question of either starv-

Grants First High Honors.

The Army of the Cumberland faced
a new disaster when the change of
commanders took place. 1t was CON
fronted by a foe having the advantage
In position and numbers, besides being
elated with a recent victory at Chicka-
manga. Furthermore, it's supplies, es-
pecially rations for the troops, were
scarce to the point of famine. Thomas
csPop" Thomas, as he was Familiarity
called by the soldiers) as Immediate
chief inspired that devotion which IS
the strength Of an army about to meet
a crisis. He had never been defeated.
More than once he had stood like a
rock" In battle, b~uffeting the waves
of carnage as a rock buffets the sea.
Grant emerged from his vicksburg
campaign a successful general who had
achieved the unexpected and thereby
indicated himself.
Little faith had been placed in his
projects until he made good by sue
ceeding. His appointment to command
three separate armies, all to be direct
ed against a second Vicksburg, was at
once a recognition and a test.
Another Vicksburg to Conquer.
Grants opponent at Chattanooga,
General Braxton Bragg, was not con-
sidered formidable either by his own
people or his enemies. But he had a
good army, and with that and the nat
ural advantages his position m~enacing
Chattanooga could well be considered
impregnable.
Chattanooga is on the south bank of
the Tennessee river, which at that
point flows due west. 1t stands at the

On or about October the water will

march in the parade, "even II they mad
to hide from their respective sergeants
at arms to do So" Among those quoted

Kansas. A majority of the members of
congress, however, are showing signs
of nervousness over the prospect of
being caught between two fires on the
universal suffrage question. The
anti-suffragists today appeared in
numbers in the halls of the capitol
and In the senate and house office
buildings. They displayed as much en-
thusiasm as their suffragist sisters IN

.MADER0 WILL BE
GRANTED TRIAL
SAYS WILSON
Ex-President Will Not be
Executed or Sent to Mad
House, but May be Exiled
Advises Against Death.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 21.-Fran-
cisco I. Madero, deposed president OF
Mexico. will not be railroaded to jail,
thrown into mad house or summarily
executed by Provisional President Hu.
erta, according to reports today from
Ambassador Wilson Madero, the am.
bassador reports, will be given far
trial and possibly the worst fate that
will await him will be exile.
U. S. objects to Execution.
Secretary Knox, with the presidents s
approval, had instructed Ambassador
Wilson to convey to Huerta In diplo-
matte terms the intimation that the
United States would seriously object
to summary execution or sentence
of Madero.
It was not felt. here that the former
president should be slaughtered or put
out of the way for crimes which seem
ed purely political, without a fair and
open trial.
{ This view was made plain to Huerta
and the fact was not concealed that
the United States looked with disfayor
upon the shooting of Gustavo Madero,
the presidents brother.
The administration attitude toward
the provicinal government of Mexico
was discussed at today's cabinet meet
ing. President Taft and Mr.. Knox
have never believed, 1t lis said, that
Madero was a strong individual for a
republic sown with revolution. They
have believed however, that he has
displayed many humane traits and that
he is entitled to hearing. They
have no particular interest other than
that of humanity in what is done with
him if it is done, in legal fashion.

THAT BADLEY CASE.

Editor Tribune:
| wish to call your attention to your
article in The Tribune in regard to the
Bailey case. You say "Badfey was
found innocent and completely vindi-
Gated" That statement needs quail
flying. The fact is Antrim the first
director who voted, said he did not
know how to vote. The chairman told
him he must vote yes or no on the
motion as put. He said he wanted to
explain his vote, that the charges
read "willfully and maliciously" which
he thought meant spitefully, and he
did not believe that it was done spite
fully, so he would have to vote no.
The next man said that he saw it in
the same way as Mr.. Antrim and he
would have to vote no; and the rest
followed like a bunch of sheep, for
Antrim had shown them way out.
There were two men on the board
who would have voted to clear Bad
ley under any circumstances, as they
said publicly before they had heard a
word of evidence that their minds
were made up, which fact would have
disqualified them as jurors anywhere.
The fact is that the policy of the
board is to do nothing to antagonize
the Reclamation Service and when Mr.
Bliss uses his own personal influence
and that of the whole service against
any and all complaints, the board finds
an easy way out of it. Witness the
fact at the last meeting, a complaint
from another part of the project was
referred to Mr.. Bliss. who had passed
on the complaint before.
One director said the people had Z
mistaken idea about the board-the,
had no authority. Another offered /;
