FIND MORE DEAD.
Seven Persons Killed When Ma
derO Met Death.
Investigator, Before Inquiry.
Tells Probable Results.

Mexico City, Feb. 25.-The startling
announcement was made almost AZ
hours after the tragedy, that flVe oeao
bodies other than those of Madero ano
Suarez were found Sunday morning
at the scene of the Shootlng penlnu
the penitentiary.
Manuel Gonzales Suarez, OF the
court investigating the death of Ma
dero and Suarez said:
1--WE have certificates of autops1es
performed on five bodies, three being
those who attacked the automobile
and two of the guard of Madero.
'I picked up myself at the place
where the killing occurred many cart
ridges and shells Some were not or
the kind used in any of the arms of
the Mexican army. We must deduce
from this that civilians fired some
shots.
LAS soon as our investigation IS
concluded, which I think will be in a
couple of days, copies of all proceed
ings will be furnished to the American
ambassador and the foreign ministers
here to be transmitted to their gov
ernments to prove that the killing or
Madero and Suarez was acc1dentaI ana
not emeditated.
Everything that we have learned
so far conVinceS US that Sucn was the
case. In some of the foreign legations
we understand they believe 1t was ex-
ecution, but L think it will be proper
to await the investigation before
drawing rash conclusions"
1t is regarded as significant of the
nature of this investigation that be-
fore the inquiry had more than begun,
Suarez declares the findings will prove
that Madero was not assassinated.
Official dispatches from General
Orozco and De La Fuente say they
will remain in Chihuahua for time,
believing they will be able to do
more good there for the government
than here. Huerta is satisfied with
this arrangement.
The Zapatistas are very active in the
states of Mexico, Moros and Puebla,
attacking, burning and sacking haci-
endas, cities and villages. The gov
ernment is sending troops and it is
believed the disorders will end short
ly. No mercy will be shown any of
those engaged in the outrages.

Single Gown Often Costs That

Washington, Feb. 25.-If Mrs
Woodrow Wilson, wife of President
elect Wilson, can dress on $1,000 a
year, it is more than notable leaders
of Washington society can do. The
consensus of opinion is that Mrs. Will
son will be obliged to enlarge her
dress allowance.
The average dress allowance here is
$4,000, while many use $4,000 and
others go even higher.
A close friend of Mrs. Taft said to-
day that while Mrs. Taft and her
daughter did not overdress, yet they
spent at least $4,000 a year. This
friend estimated the outfit needed for
the first lady of the land based on
clothes Mrs. Taft got during the year
as follows:
Ten evening gowns at $500 each
$4,000.
Four street suits each season at
average cost of $50-$200 a season,
four seasons-$S00.
Two afternoon suits a season aver
