Francisco Madero with his ministers
and strong detachment of loyal
troops. is fortified in the national pal
ace tonight, while Gen. Felix Diaz,
with a large majority of the regulars
behind him, has practical control in
the capital. In several bloody en-
counters today the president and his
supporters succeeded in defending
themselves against the rebels, and,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
troops in large numbers are in a
/ state of revolt wich carried all be-
! fore them today, there was an appear
ance Of genuine optimism at the pal
ace among Madero and his minis
ters.
To all parts Of the republic Ma
dero telegraphed reassuring news
which he and his cabinet seemed to
believe. The State governors and
military commanders were assured Of
the loyalty Of the army and that tran
guilty had been restored.
To representative Of the Asso-
ciGted Press President Madero said
the facility with which the new re-
volt had been suppressed was only
another. indication of the strength of
the government and the loyalty of the
army. Pointing from a window in
the palace to a mob for the most part
of boys. carrying the national flag and
crying vivas for Madero, the presi-
dent said:
There you can see the people are
with us. 1t is said that the govern.
ment stands alone, but that is not
true. The government has the sup
port of the people. There will be no
more temporizing; we are going to
use the iron hand"
Earlier in the day, shortly after the
first outbreak occurred, Madero de.
clared martial law throughout the
city and announced that he would ask
congress to authorize a suspension of
the guarantees throughout the repub-
lie. Gen. Huerta was named as post
commander on account of the wound
ing Of Gen. villar.
In the belief that the government
had scored an easy victory, Foreign
Minister Lascurian, Ernest Madero
and others of the cabinet embraced
one another and congratulated them
selves and the president on what they
called the new turn Of events.
Those who have observed affairs
closely point out that Gen. Diaz, who
escaped being shot summarily follow
ing the failure of the Vera Cruz re.
volt, can now expect no clemency, but
must fight 20 the death.
There is no question that Diaz is
straining every fibre to depose Ma
dero and with the large forces at his
command, 1t is not likely that the
present revolt and uprising within the
capital will he suppressed easily.
The army in revolt in Mex
leo City today took possession of
public buildings. shot down federal
coherents IN the streets, released Gen.
Felix DiaZ. leader % the Vera Cruz
revolt, from prison and. falling into
line under his banner, practically
captured the Mexican capital.
Francisco Madero. president Of the
republic, and members of his cabi-
net took refuge in the National Palace
where they were besieged but, with
some loyal troops at their backs, sue
ceeded in defending the palace from
the assaults of the revolutionists.
Madero's family has taken refuge
In the japanese delegation and tonight
the president is making a fight, des-
peratt in it's efforts. against what ap-
pears to be enormous odds for reten-
tiOn Of his power.

The Landlords Fault
And Its Consequences
By Sophie Irene Loeb.

n MAN writes as follows:
~ II am a father Of three chill
N dren and have been forced 10
live in q neighborhood that /
would much prefer to be out of. My
wife has been to several very nice
houses; and the first question asked is
How many in the family? When che
says We have three children. the answer
is We don't allow families with children
In this house.
Now that certainly is not very much
encouragement for a young couple to
raise family. 1 think this apartment
house rule Is great danger to the
rising generation.
rs there no way in which landlord
could be compelled to accept a family
when they have good records from their
previous landlord? I think that a fine
imposed upon such landlords would
soon stop such treatment and woud
make for the betternsent Of families"
While az yet, there 10 no law that
prohibits the sign: Children and dogs
not allowed here" there il q great hu-
manitarian principle involved, which any
landlord or proprietor might well con-
slider.
II. as the writer Of the foregoing let
ter suggests. a good record may be
shown from previous landlords rec

and rights of their neighbors: that 1t
has 30 guarded and disciplined its wee
ones as not to give any ohense to any
one outside that family. and has care
fully looked to Ii that its, children were

indeed is the landlord who discriminates
against such family not only unkind,
but actually deficient in the humane
spirit that should dominate every citi-
zen who is given deed to property.

death. Therefore. he should so live as
to make the best use of his property

l wonder II that landlord who ex-
cludes little children from his prem
ises ever realizes that, by his attitude.
he Is fostering means of making
PEOPLE hard and cold and cynical and
unresponsive to the ties that bind
humanity.

POULTRY NOTES.

Shade plays an important part in a
poultry farm and natural tree shade is
held to be the best. If there are no
trees handy, the advice comes from an
expert to plant them. They will be of
real use by another season.
A good sign to go by in picking out
pullets or hens for breeding purposes is
to choose the active birds. The ones
that work hard, always scratching and
never moping round, have plenty of vi
tality, and vitality counts lot.
For the amateur fanciers comes the
advice from an authority to hatch some
early birds so that they may be in con-
dition for the early fall fairs. Early
birds, also, are not hard to raise if prop
erly housed and are a source of profit
from the broiler stage on.
Fresh eggs have kept at good figure
this winter in spite of its unprecedented
mildness. Some of the smaller fancy
egg dealers close to Boston have not sold
dozen eggs for less than as cents since
early in the fall This proves that there
is limited supply of really fresh eggs
in this part of the country and that there
is room for more poultrymen in the bust
ness.

constipated, and Don't
Know II!
By 6~. L4Ax

1t seems odd, but it is true, that you
may be constipated and not know it.
You can see why it is. Take a glass
and pour in water until full. If you keep
on pouring in water after the g lass is full,
it will run over, but the lass stays full.
Just so with your bowels; they get full
of waste matter, and then they pass off or
expel from the body only about the same
amount that goes into it in the form of
food.
So you may have movement of the
bowels every day and yet there will remain
waste matter that ought to be removed.
Give your bowels gentle but thorough
cleaning out and you'll feel great.
The prescription used for this is put
up and sold under the name of DR.. True's
Elixir. Doctors and druggists use it in
their own families. Costs but little and
brings health to men, women and children.
Tastes good. Works gently. Remem-
Der the name, DR.. Trues Elixir. Price,

Monhegan Lobster Fishermen.

MoNHEGAN, Me-, Feb. 6. Ed. Bailey,
the deputy fish warden, has just returned
from an official inspection at Monhegan.
The lobster season on Monhegan began
January 18th, but on account of bad
weather no traps were set till the 18th.
There are 30 fishermen on the island.
Some operate in gangs, so there are "a
sets of traps, 5000 in all. Cass Bracket
and his brother Ernest captured one
morning $40 worth of Holsters. In the
afternoon they went out and got 500
worth more. Since the opening of the
season Holsters to the value of $4,000
have been taken here The Monhegan
fishermen hereafter will sell no seed lob
sters. They will be liberated or confined
in cars till the little Holsters are hatched
Mr.. Bailey spoke highly of the kind
tres tment received on his visit. He was
looked upon as a guest not as a trouble
some officer. "The Monhegan fishermen
know their business, observe the law and
and fear no one, he says.
Lobster fishermen of Monhegan island
are greatly pleased by the act Of the
Legislative committee, which voted
against the petition for a reduction of
the close time on lobster fishing tor
two-mile radius about the island. For
several years there has been a special
law providing for a close time on lob
sters within a two-mile radius from June
Is to Jan. Is. This was passed upon the
petition of Monhegan lobstermen who
felt tt at it would have tendency to
check the scarcity of Holsters during the
summer. Since the law had been in
force it has been strictly lived up to
by the island fishermen and they report
Improvement in the size and quantity
which they catch.
