ANTt|NJUNCTI0N
BILL IS DEFEATED
That Measure and Contempt
Act Beaten for Session in
Senate Judiciary Board.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has
succeeded in defeating for the session
the contempt bill and the anti-injunc-
ton bill. The committee at a. meeting
today disposed OF a number of bills and
appointments. 1t did not touch either
the contempt bill or the anti-injunction
bill
The committee may hold meeting
late this week to consider these bills,
but in any event there has been so
much delay in acting on them that
they cannot be passed this session. OPP
ponents OF both bills have feared to
permit them to be reported TO the Sen
ate and have tried the plan of blocking
them in committee.
The committee ordered a favorable
report on the nomination Of Clifford w
Howard to be district Judge for the
Western district of Washington. How
ard WAS nominated to succeed Judge
Hanford. who was forced out Of office
under fire of serious charges.
Howard recently made speech in
which he bitterly attacked the initia-
tive, referendum, and recall.

and that the alleged rescue party
swarmed down upon them.
But the only near-witness to the whole
incident declares that there was no
mounted escort: that the two automo-
biles with the doomed men and their
guard of soldier-executioners went
alone. Besides. it stands to reason that
with guard of 100 rurales there would
have been slaughter of many more
than the two rescuers alleged by the
government to have been killed in the
encounter.
When the correspondents reached the
penitentiary shortly before this morn
ing, tracks of the automobiles through
the dust to the rear of the building
still could be traced. They followed
the street line for about 800 yards down

Suarez fell, twenty or thirty feet from,
the prison wall. Madero had lain
farthest to the right from where one
car stopped: diagonally to the left, in
the direction of the wall, was where
SuareZ dropped.
A hundred or so men and women clus-
tered about broken pieces OF bricks
which had been heaped3 around the
blood-stained places In the dust where
the President and Vice President had
been executed. An open space in the
center of these little cairns was still
wet and ruddy, but tho hot sun was

President Elect Denies
Truth in Report He
Will Talk to Stimson

TRENTON. y. j., Feb I.-President-
elect Wilson today said there was no
truth in the report that he was to hold
a conference with Secretary or War
Stimson on the Mexican situation in the
near future.
He read the dispatches from Mexico
carefully. and evinced the greatest in
terest, but declined to comment on
them. 1t is apparent fro mhis attitude
that he viii not permit himself to be
involved in the discussion of the events
in Mexico or of any action that may be
taken by this Government before he he
comes President. Nevertheless. It is
known that he is keeping himself thor
oughly informed for the purpose Of self
guidance after March T.
Up TO this time he has not dropped
the slightest hint from which his future
policy could be deduced.

effect Of the shooting is unfavorable to

take arms to avenge his death. but the

have shown no sign Of revolt
From Sonora came the unofficial re-
port that the state congress was to
convene today to determine whether
the state should be declared In open
rebellion against the Huerta govern
ment. Governor Maytorena telegraphed
from Hermossillo. the state capital, to
all projects throughout the state to
take prompt measures to suppress any
demonstrations against Huerta as a re-
