Shells Aimed at Palace.

Rebel shells were thrown at the Ma
tional Palace and occasionally hurled
across the town toward the federal bat
terry on the Paseo Reforma. near the
Colonial Railway station. but for the
most part Diaz waited until the fed
erals moved well into the range Of his
guns guarding the approaches. This
took place innumerable times. and as
often the streets were effectually
cleared in short order.
Although few outside forces have an
rived in the capital to support Diaz.
there Is evidence that many quarters
of the country are taking part in rls-
ings in his name. Passengers from
Guadalajara report that no kilograms
received there have been delivered and
that the editor Of one newspaper which
published an account of the mutiny in
Mexico City was promptly sent TO jail
on the charge of disseminating sedi-
tious matter. But in spite of this the
people are crying 'vivas" for Diaz.
All trains leaving the capital arc
crowded with refugees of every ma
tionality. but Mexican fugitives pre-
dominate.
The rebels had driven a detachment
Of federals in retreat along Barcelona
street this afternoon, and when they
reached Liverpool street the sight of
Madero's house inspired the idea Of Its
destruction. Only servants had occu-
pied the house since the members OF
the Presidents family took refuge In
the Japanese Legation.
The rebels entered the building and
carried off whatever caught their
| fancy. A moment later the house was
in flames. AS the fire mounted. the
cracking Of cartridges revealed the fact
that the structure had been practically
an arsenal. The explosion OF ammuni-
ton continued for such time as TO
indicate that the family must have
stored there many thousands Of rounds.
To Raze Buildings with Dynamite.
The government was reported this
morning to be preparing to raze with
dynamite four solid blocks, consisting
mostly of residences. just east of the
rebel positions, between the arsenal and
the National Palace, to obtain a better
sweep for the heavy fire from the fed
eral artillery.
/
The buildings in this doomed section
are constructed wall TO wall, and the
district is densely populated. Resi-
dents were warned during the night to
evacuate their homes. 1t was believed
that all escaped with only their purely
personal belongings.

Another brush between a party OF

place this forenoon in the Avenida In

"a quarter of an hour. The crowd OF

slave traffics in Washington, May
or Seymour of Tacoma and Mayor
Cotterill of Seattle both being be-

The bill allows the closing up

Home owners living along the
line OF the Tacoma-Seattle inter-
urban line do not intend to stand
by and see that traction monopoly
get away with another fare rate
grab.
And to plan a definite fight
against the proposed increase In
rates, a big mass meeting will be
held in he town hall Mt Milton
next Tuesday night; big COM
mittee will be appointed to ham
die the campaign to prevent the
interurban magnates from boost
ing the fares.
After Increase.
The company is now applying
to the federal court for permIs-
sion to increase its fare tariff, al
leging that the profits from the
operation of the line do not meet
with the expectations of the
stockholders.
The property is managed by the
Stone-Webster concern of Boston.
Their agents now propose to
gouge an extra tithe out of the
people who own homes In the
little towns along the line.
When the interurban was first
put into operation, fares were
made low in order to attract
home builders and permanent
residents TO the little towns along
the line.
Then, when several thousand
working people who must go back
and forth each day had settled
in these towns, the Stone-Webster
policy of slyly boosting up the
fares was inaugurated.
The fares on the Tacoma-Seat-
tie interurban line are now fixed
by the state railroad commission
and are judged adequate and fair
enough to insure reasonable re-
turn on the money that Is invesr-
ed.
So the home owners OF the
countryside are up in arms
against the move of the Stone
Webster management In apply
Ing to the federal courts Cor per-
mission to boost the rates and
at Tuesday nights mass meeting
drastic measures will be taken.
so the valley people say, to fight
the monopoly in its attempt to
squeeze more dividends out of It's
patrons.

II have been victim of tuDer-
culosis for two years. In des-
peration l came to Berlin hoping
to find a cure for myself and for
my tuberculosis patients in Ohio.
DR.. Friedman gave me an
injection of his serum in the
thigh 16 days ago. l suffered
no inconvenience except for a
slight soreness lasting about A
week. Within four days after the
injection the pain in my lungs
began to lessen. My weight has
increased six pounds. My appe-
lite, which has been very poor
the past six months has become
ravenous. l climb four flights
of stairs daily to my rooms, which
was an impossible feat for me
three weeks ago.
'I can only say that something
little short of marvellous has be-
fallen me. l do not know wheth-
er Friedman will give me sec
ond injection as l am doing so
we'll, but l feel sure / will be able
to leave for home March 1 if this
Improvement continues.
II shall be entirely cured,
think, by that time"

statements are the statements of

tions give undue encouragement,
