powered to send TO Amha ssador Wilson

Huerta, In which the United States de-
plOres the possibility of executing former
President Madero without a trial and
condemn this action as exceedingly un-
advised and contrary to all laws Of
humanity"
While the United States cannot force
Mexico to give Madcro such a trial. il
can withhold its help. financial or other
wise, in time of crisis, and IL is hoped
that the new government will recognize
this and deal with the former President
in a humane manner.

tiOn, which has aroused storm Of pro-

In resolution introduced yesterday by

is charged with enlisting the support OF
his subOrdinates in all parts Of the coun.
try in an alleged campaign for appoint
ment as Secretary of Agriculture under

Il don't think a reply to Mr.. Akin is
necessary" said Willis l.. Moore. chief
Of the Weather Bureau. last night when

President Taft Authorizes In

FAVORED BY CITIZENS
Property Owners of Alexandra Pet.
toned Chief Executive 4
Few Weeks Ago.

President Taft yesterday held a long
conference with Attorney General Wick
ersham relative to taking steps looking
toward the return to the District of that
section Of land in Alexandria County,
Va, a part of the original charter of the
District. which later was returned to the
State of Virginia.
Mr.. Taft believes that this land should
be returned to the District A number
OF residents of the territory in question
have signified their desire to again come
under District rule. The statement has
been made that the retrocession of the
land to Virginia was illegal. and that II
the section ceded by Virginia can be re-
turned to that State. there is no reason
why the same thing should not be done
in the case of Maryland. should efforts
ever be made looking toward the return
of the present District to that State.
InvestIgatIon Authorized.
AS a result OF the conference yesterday
President Taft authorized Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham to make an investiga-
ton of the whole matter and report on
the standing OF the case, and what legal
steps 1t would be necessary for the gov
ernment TO take to regain posse ssion OF
the land in question.
Several weeks ago a delegation Of Alex
andria County residents called on Presi-
dent Taft and presented to him a petition
signed by 1,1o0 people. representing 50
per cent OF the property owners OF Alex
andria County outside OF Alexandria City,
asking that the United States govern
ment bring suit for the return of the
territory in question to the District.
This mode OF action would be necessary
in view Of n decision OF the United
States Supreme Court some years ago
that such a suit could not be brought
by an individual
President Taft at that time promised to
take the matter under consideration, and
his action yesterday was the result.
