MADER0 AND SUAREZ
SHOT DEAD IN STREET

of their leader, threaten i'm
mediately to quit service but to
retain their arms. Their juno
tion with the rebels has been
feared since the revolution at
the national capital. Even the
rebels appear aroused by the
death of the man they sought
so long to destroy.
Since the killing of Gustayo
Madero the rebels have been in
clined toward leniency to the
eX-President. They asserted
that Madero'S worst self died
with Gustavo Madero. Vice
President Suarez, however, was
never popular in the North. 1t
is admitted generally that the
Huerta government has lost
much by the incident which is
hailed as return to the meth
ods of SO years ago.
Col. Juan Vasquez, garrison
commander at Juarez, declined
to express an opinion on the
deaths of the two former lead
ers, except to say that he be-
lleved the affair would have no
material effect on the situation.
The volunteer troops remained
closely in the barracks TODAY.
Their leaders never have accent
ed the Huerta government t.-.-All
was quiet|at Juarez.
1T was for the health of the
country" declared Manuel l..
LaJuan, the chief rebel agent
here and former revolutionary
emissary to Washington, re-
garding Madero's death.
TT is similar to the killing of
Macmillan, the French emper-
or of Mexico. 1t is deplorable.
but necessary"
fThe effect on Washington in
view of the Taft note does in
terest u.s." added Senior Laiuan
"Madero could not have been
exiled as he would have begun
another revolution"

WILSON SHOCKED.
But President-Elect is Silent on
killing of MaderO

Princeton, N. j., Feb. 23.-
President-elect Wilson was
shocked to hear the news that
former President Madero and
former Vice President Suarez
had been killed in Mexico CITY.
1T is too bad," he sighed,
when he first learned of the
shooting through Associated
Press dispatches. He refrained
from comment, saying he would
maintain his policy of silence
until heNhad taken office.
While nothing has come from
Mr.. Wilson to- indicate what his
attitude will be~he has kept
himself constantly Informed of
developments by careful
scrutiny of the news dispatches,
displaying at all times a keen
interest in the progress of
events in the trouble-ridden
country.
Mr.. Wilson, it is known. had
hoped from the first that Mex
lco's problems would find amic-
able settlement without the
least interference from the Uni
ted States. He realizes the
gravity of developments, how
ever, and is studying the situa-
ton most earnestly. 1t is even
declared among some of his
friends that he may hasten the
announcement of his cabinet so
that he could avail himself at
once of their counsel on a situa-
ton that will require the i'm
mediate attention of the new
administration.

which the Washington cabinet
will likely decide.
The Daily Graphic says the
shooting of Madero and Suarez
shows that nothing has chang
ed in Mexico and that nothing
will be changed until either
Diaz arises or the Big Stick"
from the North realizes it's duty
lin these anarchistic wilds."
The Daily Express, in an edi-
torial referring to what it
terms President Taft's hesita-
tion to act in Mexico, says revo-
luton and anarchy do not stand
on presidential etiquette and
that the security of life and
property in Mexico will not wait
while President-elect Wilson in
stalls himself.
The Express describes an
eXpeditionary force of 5000
American troops as "a pill for
an earthquake" and declares
such venture will need 100000
men: The newspaper urges the
British government to press for
immediate action on the Wash
ington government.
The Daily Chronicle declares
that Madero was done to death
by President Huerta, and asks
what the United States will do
1t thinks that any middle course
such as financial or military
propping up of one or the other
among the Mexican leaders by
the United States, and the crea-
tion of a sort of Mexican Cuba,
could only be achieved by a
combination of luck and adroit
diplomacy, while an enormous
army will be needed to CONQUER
Mexico. The editorial con
cludes: :~"Nobody can envy the
United States her task, in ap-
preaching which she deserves
from Europe no ungrudginp
measure of moral support"
The Daily News says: MA
dero has been murdered, and the
United States government is ex-
pressing the worlds indignation
at the treachery which brought
the Huerta administration into
office and the ruthlessness with
which they are exercising their
probably brief tenure of pow
er."
The Daily Mail says the Uni
ted States has commanded that
Madero should not be executed
without trial, and that a great
nelghboring state is not likely
to be mocked. :

on being told by the foreman
that no verdict had been reach

entered into solemn obliga-

as to how the jury stood are
based entirely on guesses.
1T can be stated on authority,
however, and positively that
they did not stand eight to four
IN favor of verdict of guilty.
The case was given to the jury
shortly after 1 p. M, Saturday,

During the three days of the

strict guard and no communica-

DepOScu fTeSlQenC ana vice
President of Mexico Slain En-
Route to Penitentiary-
Huerta Demands Instant In
vestigatiOn.
Mexico City, Feb. 23.-Fran-
cisco |. Madero and Jose Pine
Suarez are dead. In midnight
ride under guard from the ma
tional palace to the penitentiary
they were killed.
The circumstances surround
ing the death o the deposed
President and Vice President of
the republic are unknown, ex-
cept as given in official accounts,
which do not in all cases con-
form. The only witnesses were
those actually concerned in the
killing.
The provisional President,
Gen. Victoriano Huerta, says the
killing of the two men was in
cidental to fight between their
guard and a party attempting
to liberate them. The minister
of foreign relations, Francisco
de la Barra, adds that the pris-
oners attempted to escape.
Neither makes a definite state
ment as to which side fired the
fatal shots. 1t is not impossi-
bic that neither knows.
ORDERS INVESTIGATION.
An official investigation has
been ordered to determine the
responsibility and solemn prom
ises have been made that the
guilty will be punished.
Not unnaturally a great part
of the public regards the official
version with doubt, having in
mind, the use for countless CEN
turies of the notorious "ley
fuga," the unwritten law which
is invoked when the death of a
prisoner is desired. After it's
application there is written on
the records prisoner shot try
ing to escape"
Sonora Madero, widow of the
ex-President, received the first
definite information of his
death from Senor Cologan v
Cologan, the Spanish minister.
She already had heard reports
that something unusual and
serious had happened but
friends had endeavored up to
that time to prevent her from
learning the whole truth.
Soon afterward, accompanied
by her brother, Jose Perez and
Mercedes Madero, sister of
Francisco, Sonora Madero drove
to the penitentiary but was re-
fused permission to see the
body of her husband. Sonora
Suarez also was denied admit
tance to the mortuary, where
physicians, in accordance with
the law, were performing an
autopsy.
WOMEN AT PRISON.
In contrast to the widow,
whose grief was of a pitiably ST.
lent character, expressed in
sobs, Mercedes Madero, a beau
tiful young woman, educated in
Paris, who has been brilliant
leader of society since the revo-
luton of 1910, was dry-eyed and
tigerish in her emotions. By
the side of the two women
whose husbands had been kill
ed, the girl hurled accusations
at the officers who barred the
entrance.
"Cowards !" "Assassins sr' she
called them, her voice pitched
high. The officers stared i'm
passively.

a defenseless man! You and
your superior officers are trai-

Chicago Inter Ocean says: That a

but how long it will last depends upon
the weather. Every day of dry
weather reduces the crop possibilities.
The drought has been on for such q
long period over an unusually large
territory that the Gro is showing the
effect more strikingly each day. It
begins to look as if the crop west Of
the Missouri river, and including the

near a failure as it was in 1894.
A good many wheat traders think
that with corn advancing and south.

Wheat will be largely left to local
sentiment. If corn futures enhance
under the stimulus of a dry weather
map, it looks probable that wheat
may firm up still further. Wheat IN
