was afterwards indisputably established
that the house in which we were on San
Pedro avanue. was the headquarters OF
the revolutionists, but nothing which
would even tend to betray this fact was
gathered from the conversation with the
chief of the rebels.
General Reyes, in answer to questions,
discussed the situation in Mexico, and
predicted the downfall of the Maderistos,
which prediction was based on his be-
lew that the new president and his cabi-
net were not living faithfully to their pre-
election promises. Reyes unlike the av-
erage or ordinary plotter might have
done, did not hesitate to discuss his ene-
my. or to speak of that enemy in the
harshest tones. AS a matter of fact
SO we'll he played that the visitors on
their departure, were willing to swear
that the reports concerning Reyes We're
not well founded in incontrovertible fact
Reyes was of a most attractive per-
sonality. AS one beheld him, he thought
of the career of the man who had been
the chief cog in the wheel of the iron
rule of Porfirio Diaz. 1t was remembered
that at the tender age of is, Reyes
had begun his fight in behalf of the coun-
try, and that at that tender age he had
fallen into a trap set by his enemies.
It was recalled that on the ascension of

Diaz. Reyes was made minister of war,
and that subsequently, he was elected gov
ernor of the great state of Monterey.
1t was remembered that he had remained
distinctly aloof during the struggle of
Madero. against the imam of iron," and
that when the young Richmond had con-
quered the old veteran. on whose body
were the scars of long conflict, declined
to accept in the new cabinet the port
folia of secretary of war.
One could readily imagine how resent
ful the old leaf of the tree of the broken
government became that a young strip
ling, heretofore unknown, should supplant
himself, even though it was through MS
prowess as general in the field, over the
old veterans and aristocrats born to rule,
and who knew nothing else save to rule.
And it was deemed perfectly natural
that Reyes should have stood against
Madero for the presidency, and that fol-
lowing his defeat, he should, pouting and
burning under the fire of jealous rage,
have retired from the land of his birth,
and prepared to plot rebellion in seditious
company.
But Reyes gave no evidence, as stated
above, that he was plotting. But he
was. And few days later as the Am
orleans, returning from Mexico. crossed
the border into their own country once
again, the news was flashed that the
United States government had caused the
arrest of the old Castilian, and that
he had slipped into Mexico leaving ze-
hind forfeited bail of S50Oo
II was natural that the Americans
should have followed with feverish in
terest his ill-1fated revolution, should
have read with amazement that the old
cry. resounding once again. had failed
to enlist the old followers of his plume
There was sadness when the truth was
told that Reyes had surrendered and as
a weak. infirm, broken and despised old
man. had been led TO the prison of his
conqueror. And among these Americans
who had known him, there was renewed
sadness when last Sunday. the old gem
eral, while gallantly leading revolution
lists against his arch enemy, Madero, fell

PRESIDENT FRANCISCO MADERo

......................................"

shot through the head by a bullet of
the federalists, fell in the end of the
chapter, never to strike again.
Francisco I. Madero did not impress his
American visitors as they had previously
, been impressed by the grave and thought
ful and powerful countenance of Reyes.
The president was polished and gracious,
and displayed such courteous considera-
tion that one might have thought that
to neutralize all the glamor of the studied
exterior was something lying underneath
not entirely a stranger to hypocrisy He
was not unhandsome with his bronzed
face and hirsute adornment, in his vigor,
energy and nervous display of vitality.
But his eye was furtive and restless. and
his visitors, despite the fiattering atten-
ton of the distinguished host, became
aware of the truth-that their coming
had been without welcome, and that their
departure would meet with the approval
of the hero of the hour.
The visitors were entertained, however,
for they stood in the presence of the
resourceful and valorous chieftain who
had overturned the sovereignty of Porfirio
Diaz one OF the most powerful men who
has ever trod the earth. That Madero
was brave man was certain. And this
deduction was horne out last Sunday
when the president very gallantly led
in person his faithful adherents against
the rebels, enthusiastic and drunken In
revelry following carly victory
But at the same time. the visitors
feared lest Madero was morally weak,
that he would not display in statecraft
that impulsiveness, that "do it now spir-
it that immaculate genius which had been
his characteristic on the field of carnage
And this deduction has been proved true.
For Madero was not strong enough to
order the execution of President Reyes,
a most disturbing element, and was not
brave enough TO order the execution of
Felix Dias, the most dangerous man-on
account Of his relationship to Porfirio
Diaz-beneath the spread of the gorgeous
, wings of the Mexican eagle. Had he
put out of the world these two strong
men his strength would have been estab-
lished, and Madero, as result. would to-
day be absolutely in no distress as to
the safety Of his people, and the perpetual
lion of his empire.

Too Ear Out

One of the best stories of the hust-
ling real estate salesman We ever
heard comes from one of the fraternity
who isn't afraid to tell a joke because
it happens to be on him.
This salesman heard of a man who
was anxious to trade farm for some
city lots. So he jumped into his au-
tomobile, drove to the farm owners
town office and warmly invited him
to come out and look at some fine
suburban property. The prospective
buyer seemed glad of the opportunity
and they were soon speeding toward
the subdivision in which our hero was
interested.
A half hour beyond the city limits
the real estate men began to point out
corner lots, prospective paving and
sewer systems, locations for imposing
residences and al that sort of thing.
THE city is growing right out this
way" he said. Facts and figures prove
that beyond the possibility of a doubt.

What Visitors Thought of
Two Men Most Con-
spicuous in Mexi-
can Affairs
by HUGH w. ROBERTS
, ENERAL BERNARDO REYES,

ENBRaB BtRNAhpO INfA1 h4so,
whose body at the present mo-
~ ment is inferred in the heart of
Mexican gulley, was in the fall of 1911
domiciled in a magnificent home on San
Pedro avenue. San Antonio.
And there one November morning, he
granted an audience to number Of Bir-
mingham citizens. who were following the
bent OF their own inclination. and Incl
dentally beholding the pcturesqueness of
fhe.sole remaining American city which
gives back today a glimpse of ancient
Spain.
The following morning the Americans
boarded the train for Monterey. On a
private coach to the rear of that in which
they rode, was borne the corpse of
prominent Mexican lady, who under an
operation had died in Philadelphia. The
corpse was met at Monterey by Francisco
[. Madero, the. present president of Mex
1co whose reign is beyond all question,
nearing the sunset of its glory.
Having seen and talked to General
Reyes, the Americans were determined to
interview the president of the Mexican
republic. Several days later. as a result
of the intercession of American Minister
Newton. the hope was realized. In his
palace In Monterey, Madero received the
Americans very graciously and following
the request OF newspaper man present
dictated for The Age-Herald the only
statement he had ever authorized for an
Individual American newspaper.
An thus it happened, that two of the
three most interesting figures in the dis
turbances in Mexico today, were met and
interviewed by the Americans in the
party. General Felix Diaz, at that time,
was in Southern California, plotting re-
beilion, and dreaming of empire. Gem
era1 Reyes, in San Antonio. vas plotting
rebellion, and laying plans, in his jealous
rage, for the overthrow of the Aaderistos
--plans which eventually resulted in his
own death. President Madero, just es-
tahlished at the head of the cabinet, was
hopeful and fearful, dreaming and
thoughtful, in his own territory Just
across the Rio Grande.
General Reyes was the more interesting
figure. because of his age, and his rev.
erential appearance. He greeted the Wis
Stors kindly, and displayed his training
in that Latin school of politeness and
polish which cannot be disguised in any
Hssemblage. The old general stood be-
fore us, very grave and very dignified,
although there was no evidence that he
was res-ntful of this intrusion into the
privacy and sanctity of his home. 1t

wanted-A National Hall

From the New York Tribune
The proposal to hold an inaugural re-
ception in the rotunda of the capitol,
which is about as i'll equipped for such a
gathering as any large hall could be. calls
renewed attention to the lack of adequate
facilities in Washington for indoor state
ceremonies on a large scale. There is
no place where an Inauguration address
can be satisfactorily delivered in case of
inclement weather, or when an interna-
tional conference can be suitably con-
Quoted. When President Mckinley died
the state funeral was held in the rotunda
of the capitol, but its size is inadequate,
its lighting bad. and it is entirely un-
adapted to such ceremonies.
The United States should have in Wasn-
ington structure for important meet
ings and ceremonies. Tt should be a
building with all the dignity of a great
Roman basilca or Gothic church, large
enough to hold several thousand persons,
impressive enough for the most solemn
occasion. In addition to an auditorium
1t might well contain rooms where an
international conference could be held and
quarters where national guests could De
suitably lodged. There an Inauguration
address could be delivered. state recep-
tion given, national hero's body lie IN
state, public funeral be held. 1t might
be for Washington what 'the great hall
of William Rufus" is to London or the
Pantheon is to Paris.
The grounds in the rear of the capitol.
where the Grant monument is being
erected, would have furnished a suitable
site for such a building. which indeed,
would be an appropriate monument to
one of the nations great men. There are
other available sites convenient TO the
capitol and there are other men whose
memory the country holds in honor, any
one of whom might be appropriately COM
memorated By "a building at once grand
and useful Such secular cathedral
which might be a hall of fame as well
as temple for the ceremonial func-
tions of the government would serve u
practical utilitarian4 purpose and be a
stimulant OF patriotic feeling.
