AND BROTHER
HEAVILY INSURED
They Had Policies In Ameri-
can Companies.

New York. March f7.-With the ar
rival here OF Sonora Mara Madero,
widow of the slain president of Mex
ico, steps have been taken by her rep
reesntatives to secure payment from
local insurance companies of large
policies on the life of her husband.
Now that the explanations of the
provisional government concerning the
death of Francisco Madero have been
officially accepted, the policies will be
promptly paid, Sonora Madero is un-
derstood to believe. Her husband was
insured in the Mutual Life Insurance
company for $4,000 and in the New
York Life for $4,000, both policies
having been taken out in 1904.
Gustavo Madero, brother of the
president, was also insured in Unit
ed States life insurance company, and
the family will make an effort to col
lect on his premium, too. 1t Is under
stood that a California company is
sued the policy on his life. There may
be more difficulty about this than
about this ,as the manner of Gustavo's
death is still a matter of dispute. He
is said to have been insured for $780,
600.
There are now twenty-five of the
Maderos family in New York-at the
Hotel Ansonia, the Hotel Willard and
at Alfonso Madero's apartment on the
Riverside drive, near One Hundred and
Sixteenth street. They all met at the
Hotel Willard, whser the head Of the
family is staying.
