have been busily at work, trying to
find the right man for secretary

be found.
In connection with the secretary,

My dear DeFrantz:-
1 saw Mr.. Bilheimer and Mr.. Sweet
at the convention, they were much
encouraged over the prospect Of the
new branch and said they wanted
the best secretary in the country
and must have him by return
mail" l told them l had not
found the man and would not rec
romend any but good one for
I I Denver. [ still insist it is better
to wait few weeks longer for the
right man than to make mistake
by undue hurry at this period.
Last year we secured five number
one men from our summer school.
This year we have a larger num-
Der of good men who expect to at
tend. | am sure we can safely
count on finding the right man at
that time. / have two or three
very promising men in mind for
Denver and beg of you time to
make further investigation of
them. Very kindly assure your
men | have their interest at heart
am'not asleep on the job.
Very truly yours,

the campaign conducted in April,
no effort will be made to secure a

have been fully paid. In harmony
with this plan, the Committee of
Management has engaged Albert
Patrick to devote his time during
the next few weeks to collecting
the outstanding pledges, some of
which are now past due. The

RAMA OF DEATH AND DESTRUC-
TION UNPARALLELED IN HIS
TORY OF MEXICAN REPUBLIC.

0ENN'N''
Mexico City, Mex, Feb. Following
is the first descriptive story of the bat
lie in Mexico City written by a special
correspondent, who witnessed the fight
from start to finish:
SO swift has been the current of
startling events since the conclusion of
he terrific ten dav conflict in the heart
Of the city, that not until today did the
lalf crazed populace find time to draw
4 deep breath and look about at the
havoc created by the tremendous bonn
bardment. 1t is indeed panorama Of
leath. Destruction spreads itself before
he eyes of thousands of curious foreign
ers swarming the streets upon the zone
Of the unparalleled combat The spec
tac!e is an infinitely sad one. Hundreds
of homes with gaping holes torn in their
sides, tOttering on their foundation are
seen i'll all parts Of the city. Scores Of
splendid public and business buildings
expose marred and battered walls.
1t is in the district where the poorer
classes dwell, that the element of tragedy
of homes are literally i'll ruins, while
upon the doors of thousand hang bands
Oc crepe cOmmemOrating the death of full
ly two thousand nOn-cOmbatant.
| was q witness to the first act of this
horrible war drama, in the ZOcalo be-
fore the national palace. On Sunday
morning, February 9, / was in time to
see both Diaz and Reyes liberated and
escorted to the palace through the cheer
ing crowd. | strolled down between the
long lines of infantry, and was just out
side the range of the machine guns on
the roofs of buildings when the first vol
lev was fred sweeping the crowd and
dealing death to several hundred men,
women and children. Riderless cavalry
horses were soon beating down men and
women and trampling those already
fallen.
After Diaz had captured the arsenal,
the government was unprepared for i'm
mediate assault. The artillery battle
began i'll earnest Tuesday morning.
Six batteries of federal guns located
in all directions from the arsenal CON
centrated their fire upon the arsenal,
which Diaz had captured. In the arse
nal were large quantities of shrapnel,
which were poured upon the federals
with disastrous effects.
The real horrors Of war were brought
home to the people in the capital. Scenes
unheard Of in modern warfare unfolded
before the terror stricken half million
persons The capital became ne great
battle ground. crowded with thousands
of women and children. none of whom
were given the slightest chance to es-
cape. Practically every one in the city
were exposed to the risk Of being killed
in their homes Day after day the same
frightful conditions prevailed. In
many Of the streets bodies lay through
out the day being removed only when
darkness protected the rescuers.
The city took new life Sunday when
the armistice was declared. People
came out Of doors. only to be caught un-
aware by the breaking Of the armistice
early i'll the afternoon.
Y The quick conclusion of the battle
brought the widest JOY. The total killed
were $500; wounded 1000.

MATTER OF BORDER PROTEC-

URGED CULBERSON TO LAY THE
MATTER BEFORE WAR DEPART
MENT - RECEIVES REPEATED
CALLS FOR AID
Especial Staf Correspondent.)

Austin, Tex. Feb. 20.-Unless the
governor is Immediately assured by the
federal government that sufficient border
protection il to be afforded the people
along the Texas Mexican border de-
Cisive action will be taken bv the chief
executive to protect the people from
robbery and pillaging of Mexican bands.
The crisis is at hand, and the situation,
according to messages that have been
pouring into the executive department,
there is much danger.
The governor late Yesterday made
public message which he has sent to
United States Senator Charles A. Cul-
berson urging that the matter be placed
before the president at once.
The governor received reply from
the senator stating that the matter had
been placed before the secretary of war.
This is the text of the governors mes
sage to Senator CulbersOn at Washing
ton yesterday:
During the afternoon | have been re-
ceiving telegrams from points on the
Rio Grande border telling me of prepa-
ratiOns for removing the few federal
troops along the border at different
points. These dispatches say that the
Mexican population along the border in
Texas and Mexico regard this az
preparation for Intervention and ii has
aroused racial prejudice as much as if
Intervention had been ordered.
complaints are to the effect that
bands of Mexicans are pillaging and
robbing along the Rio Grande. You well
understand the character of the poula-
ton on the border and that the federal
officials are but little aid to the state
authorities i'll controlling the situation.
II am unable to get information as
TO the purpose of the federal govern
ment and the members of the cabinet do
not seem to understand the seriousness
of the situation from the standpoint of
the property owner and citizen along the
Rio Grande to Brownsville, comprising
frontier Of more than 1900 miles.
II wish YOU would call on the proper
authorities and find out their plans and
purpose and advise me. If l am COM
PEELED to take the situation in hand L
will do so vigorously. This state is
having the burden of expenses and sus-
pcnSc to bear and the present policy
toward this state is an outrage.
kilograms may be exaggerated, never
the less, people along the Rio Grande
stand in dread.
Definite action should be taken by
the federal government and protection
given by adequate garrison of troops or
they should advise me that nothing will
be done and let us look out for our
selves. We will not hesitate to protect
our people if we can be advised that the
federal government will not do so.
Please find out and advise me-"
The governor has advised those who
informed him of the situation that
rangers will be detailed, and that the
matter has again been put up to the
federal government through United
States Senator CulberSon.

Mexico City. MeXX.. Feb. 20.-Thc
Mexican capital was in a state of unccr-
tainty this morning, over the fact Of the
departure of Francisco MadcrO. This
gave rise to manv rumors and coniect-
ures Meanwhile the attitude of Zapata
and Gomez, leaders Of the southern and
northern rebels, respectively, is occasion
ing anxiety.
These are the DAYS Of fugitivcs. The
families of those who stood high III the
the favor with Madero, fearing rctalia-
ton have fled from the city. Among
these are the members of the MaderO
family The wife Of the eX-president
has gone to their ranch near the
AtzcapOtzalco suburb, but other mem
bers of the family are supposed to be
in Vera Cruz.
1t was said that the cXpreSident was
to be deportcd from Vera Cruz, much as
PorfriO Diaz was dcpOrtcd, and that
this was to be substitute for a trial
for the murder OF Colonel Rivcro whom
Madcro was accused Of killing at the
time Of his arrest in the national palace.
The formal accusation was made
against him by Attorney Carlos Salinas
before the attorney general and it was
declared that the charge would be left
pending. in the event that Madero
should attempt to return to the republic
Another report. was that the govern
ment was considefSg the advisabilitv Of

Rumors Of clash between General
Hucrta and Felix Diaz were discounted
today, by the fact that the two have
had frequent conferences regarding the
conduct of affairs and often addressed
each other by their first names.
Ambassador Wilson, who had taken
such keen intedest in the establishment
~of the new administration, was in cOun-
Gil with both Huerta and Diaz and was

Hucrta and DiaZ was confirmed in all res

istry of finance. in which Esquival Obre-
gon was substituted for Carlos G. de Cos
10. The names for the portfolio were
suggested partly by Diaz and partly by
Hucrta. Apparently none OF those
closely connected with the new admins
tration fear that any untOward events
will occur.
The senate appears to be in thorough
ians and are inclined to look upon Gen
accord with the new government. but
there is no such party cooperation from
The deputies. Many Of the deputies be-
long to the modern radical school Of pol
iticianS. and are inclined to look upon
General Huerta and his government
with considerable suspicion.
The new administration is utilizing
practically all the old machinery of the
government. although numerous officers
were removed temporarily from their
posts Among these were the chiefs OF
departments who were placed under nom
inal arrast. but were released after q
brief detention.
