Mexico City, Feb. 24.-Official inves-
tigation into the death of Francisco
1. Madero and Jose Pine Suarez, de-
posed President and Vice President of
Mexico, Saturday night, is to be begun
at once, but the general belief prevails
that it will substantiate official YER
sions of the occurrence.
The fact that the bodies of the two
statesmen were recovered in the rear
of the penitentiary was explained to-
day by-a statement that the second
encounter occurred close to the build
ing
Madero and Suarez were being trans
ferred to the penitentiary in an auto
mobile when they were shot and killed
during an attempt made to rescue
them.

see the bodies Of the slain men.
Major Cardenas and two other Of
ficers who were in charge of the guard
of rurales escorting the automobile,
have been imprisoned, pending an in
vestigation by the Attorney General.
An official investigation has been
ordered to determine the responsible
ity, and solemn promises have been
made that the guilty will be punished.
Not unnaturally great part of the
public regards the official versions
with doubt, having in mind the use for
centuries of the notorious '1ey fuga,"
the unwritten law, which is invoked
when the death Of a prisoner is de-
sired. After its application there is

Mexico City, Feb. 22.-Francisco l..
Madero and Jose Pine Suarez are
dead. In midnight ride, under guard
from the national palace to the peni-
tentiary, they were killed.
The circumstances surrounding the
deaths of the deposed President and
Vice President Of the republic are IN
known, except as given in official ac-
counts, which do not in all cases con-
form. The only witnesses were those
actually concerned in the killing.
The provisional President, General
victoriano Huerta, says the killing OF
the two men was incidental to fight
between their guard and a party at
tempting to liberate them. The Min

High SCHOOL GIRLS
DEFEAT WOMAN'S
COLLEGE
BY SCORE OF 1s TO 9 VICTORY Is
WON ON CAMPUS OF THE
DEFEATED COLLEGE.

The girls basket ball team of the
city High School defeated the Wo-
mans College team Saturday afternoon
by the decisive score of Is to 8 on
the campus of the Woman's College.
Miss Eva Schwartz of the High
School was an adept at making goals
and proved herself to be an all-round
basket ball player of more than ordi-
nary ability.
The High School people are very
happy over their victory, because it
was not an easy task to win it. Be-
sides knowing how to make visitors
feel at home, the college girls know
how to play basket ball.
If those who witnessed the game
talk their interest and enthusiasm as
much as they cheered the players dur
ing the game, the public will become
much more interested in basket ball
and give greater encouragement to
the players by being present.
