Mexico City, Feb 20.-The fate Of
Francisco l. Madero, deposed Presi-
dent of Mexico, was still in the balance
this morning. Preparations had been
made at midnight for his departure
with members Of his family into exile,
but these were suddenly halted by mys-
terious orders from General Huerta.
The ex-President at daybreak was
still in the capital.
Sonora Madero and the rest Of the
exiles had waited impatiently for more
than two hours at the station, ready
to depart for Vera Cruz, and thence
for Europe, when informed that Ma
dero would be prevented from join
ing them on the Journey"
Fearing the intentions Of Congress
and General Huerta in regard to her
husband, Sonora Madero wept pro-
foundly. She and her party then left
the station and went back to the city.
Felix Diaz today denied responsible
ity for the execution Of Gustavo Ma
dero and Adolfo Basso, superintendent
Of the National Palace.
An official report Of the death Of
Gustavo Madero says he "was being
removed from one part of the arsenal
to another when he made a dash for
liberty Officers in charge fired at
him and killed him"
The death of Gustavo Madero is still
the chief topic of conversation. Many
people today sought souvenirs Of the
death of the politician, and one person
paid s25 for fragments of his eye
glasses. .....
A telegram was sent today to Por-
firio Diaz, former dictator, who is now
in Paris, by Felix Diaz, his nephew,
and General Huerta, the new provi-
sional President. 1t read: .
"You have been avenged against
your former enemy"
Adolfo Basso, aged go, superinten-
dent of the National Palace for many
years, was executed by firing squad
No disorder has been reported. The
capital is rapidly resuming its normal
appearance.

General Blanquet's soldiers, It is said

onel Riveroll, who commanded the
guard.
Another attempt was made on the
life of General Huerta by Gustavo Ma.

secret session Of Congress held last
night.

Gov. coIquitt Threatens to Take
Action.

Austin, Tex, Feb. Ex-Governor o.
b, Colquitt of Texas sent a telegram
yesterday to United States Senator
Culberson, in which he asserted that
"the present Federal policy toward
this state is an outrage and urged
that efforts be made to have additional
United States troops assigned to pa
troll duty along the Mexican-Texas bor-
der.
"If am compelled to take the situa-
ton in hand, l will do so vigorously"
said the governor in his telegram.
Definite steps should be taken by the
Federal government and protection CIV
en- by garrisons of troops, or the gov
ernment should advise us that nothing
will be done and let us look out for
ourselves. We will not hesitate to
protect our people if we can be ad-
vised that the Federal government will
not do So"
Governor Colquitt advised Mr.. Gull
berson that the situation along the
border has been growing worse daily,
and was augmented by the movement
of troops along the frontier to other
points. From all along the Rio Grande,
the governor declares, frantic appeals
have been made to him for protection,
and that property of the state is en-
dangered by incursions Of Mexicans.
In several instances, Mr.. Colquitt said,
the appeals for aid told of the raiding
of ranches and farms.

UMPIRE ALLOWS SPRINGFIELD
 TO DELAY GAME IN DARKNESS
Mechanics Battle Ponies to Tie in Spite of
 RoWdy Tactics

I by Russell built up the tying run Tn the ninth, a great catch by Waite on a line drive from Stow stopping more runs. Justin replaced More in the 10th.
 After Springfield had been retired without trouble in the 10th Umpire Bedford made no move to call the game, though it was then too dark for play. After McGamwel1 famed Phil lips doubled and Stow sent him in with a single, Stow taking second on swander's throw home. 1- A bounder from Burns got away. from Reilly, trying for second. Then the farce started for fair. Wefgold sfdestepped and let a peg from Pratt go by and when he returned the ball Reilly threw it over O'Hara's head, Russell who had dumped one in front of the plate, going all the way around. Fin ally Tuckey forced O'Hara to tag him at third by walking from one base to the next after swinging at wild pitch for the third strike.
 Logan, much against his will, went to bat for Springfield. He famed. Waite lifted an easy fly to center, but it was then dark that Phillips made a mess of trying to catch it. Swander bunted no one could see the ball. With the bases full weigoId pushed one at the pitcher and Waite was forced at the plate. Reilly rapped a fly to right field and no one could see whether it was fair or foul. It sent three runs in and gave Reilly second. He reached third on the throw in and then the game was called.

(springfeld Unton.)

About the only question open to de bate at the end of yesterdays farce on League park was whether Umpire Bedford or the Springfield team had made the most sorry showing. Official ly the score was tie at 5 to with two out in the last of the 11th inning when play was stopped because .o1 darkness. Under the rules the umpire would have been perfectly Justified in forfeiting in favor of Bridgeport at a1- most any time during the 11th inning, though he had made bad blunder in sending the teams at it again after the 10th inning with the score tied at to 2.
 Finally with a man on third after Springfield had tied the score with three runs in and two out in the 11th, the game was called. At that time and for Is minutes before, it was down right dangerous to players to be kept at the game. For 10 innings 1t had been a hard fought ball game with Bridgeport making fine uphill bat tie of it until it had tied up by getting to Doc More for the needed run in the ninth. Justin stayed the Mechanics off in the 10th, but they got to him during the darkness of the 11th.
 From the minute the Mechanics be- gan mauling Justin the Springfield squad started in trying to force the game into farce and in that they suc- ceeded so well that they thoroughly disgusted the majority of the specta- tors Umpire Bedford had made up his mind then that he would push the inning through to finish if 1t took all night, but he suddenly switched when the score had been tied, proba- bly, getting an inspiration which show ed him that's what he ought to have done after the 10th

When 1t became so dark that play should have been suspended, Justin de1iber- ate1y let the ball go in the general direction. of Dick Tuckey's head while the Bridgeport pitcher was at bat, claiming he mistook him for the catcher. Had he hit Tuckey he would probably have succeeded in starting a riot that would be remembered for more than one season.
 And while the last half of the 11th lasted, matters were worse if possible. Forced by yards at the plate, Chet Waite deliberately grabbed. Catcher Russell by the arm and pulled him around and a little later Jack O'Hara did the same and more Of it to Rus sell. The Bridgeport catcher wouldn't t. have been much to blame had he re- taliated on either man. If Bill Carey and Frank Corridor want to keep the and enthusiasm of the public where 1t was up to yesterday they'll do well to slap some stiff fines on for any more of that stuff

KILBANE READY
 TO BEAT DUNDEE
Champion Down to 123 Pounds
 for Next Tuesdays Bout

Los Angeles. Cal. April 26-Train- Ing days are about over for Johnny hilbane and Johnny Dundee, who meet for the featherweight cHanlpior1- ship next Tuesday night. As both noyS are fit and ready now, light training will be the order until Sum day afternoon, when, after final work outs; the camps will be closed for good.
 The matter of weight Is not both er1ng either man. Dundee raised the beam at 123 pounds yesterday. while Klloane has been at weight for sev- eraI days.
 Dundee, short of arm and body. and kilbane, long and rangy, represent two different and distinct types of lighters Dundee hits a shorter, and harder blow than Kilbane, but the champion is the faster puncher. Kii- pane to land accurately on the short CT man, will have to either direct his blows downward or get into a crouch In order to reach Dundee with effect
 This will make his task a difficult one, for once he crouches low enough to be of equal height to his antagon- lst the New Yorker will have him right where he wants him and will force the 122 pound ruler to exchange hsticuffs. Should 1t turn into a slug ging bee, the harder hitter will na- turally have the advantage.

WOLGAST NOT
 CONTENT TO RETIRE

When Ad Wolgast was champion he found great pleasure in sneering at Battling Nelson and others who con tinued to struggle along after their best days had departed. He was wont to remark that he was the one boxer who had too much good sense to continue after defeat came his way. But now that Wolgast has the chance to put his oft repeated resolve into effect, his point of view seems to have veered most decidedly. According to his latest statements he means to struggle on and on as long as. he can obtain match in the forlorn hope of fighting his way back to the top.
 Now that Wolgast is down and out a; review of his. career shows that he was not such a bad champion after all. Compared with his successor, Willie Ritchie, Wolgast. appears to bet ter advantage. During tIfe time he held the title he spent little time on the stage.
 He fought whenever a purse that was satisfactory to him was forthcom- ing and dodged few would-be oppon- ents. In fact it was his anxiety to fight that led to his undoing. He neglected to wait until he had fully recovered from his operation before donning the gloves again, and as re- suit he never did fully recover.

JOE JACKSON BEGAN
 WITH CONNIE MACK

Joe Jackson, Cleveland's heavy hit ting young outfielder, who started the campaign by mauling the White Sox pitchers for two doubles and a triple was, as nearly every fan knows, ob- tained by the Maps practically from Connie Mack and nearly every fan knows, too, that 1t was under the tall tactitician that the s1ugging southron started his major league career.
 What every one does not know, however, is that Jax, who ran well up in the voting for the Chalmers Aneri- seems likely to get even more con played: his first game in fast company against the team of which he is a member. Such is the case, however.
 It was on Aug. 25. 1908, that Jack son made his major league debut, cov- ering center for the Mackmen in Phl1- adelphia in a game against the Maps His great reputation had preceded him and Philadelphians were anxious to see what he could do. So were the baseball experts, for they figured that Jackson could hardly be as classy as he had been touted.
 One of the most pessimistic of the Quaker City writers, speaking of Jackson's work on the day of his de- but, said Jackson lived up to his rep utation to-day. In the first inning i.e made a good catch of Turner's drive. taking the ball as cooIly as if he had been in the American league all his life. Then in the Athletics half he had the honor of driving in the first run of the game, Hartsel doubled, Nichols sacrificed, and then,. after fouling of one, Jackson drove clean single to left. He then showed he knew inside baseball by racing to sec ond after Turner had nailed Murphy's foul.', The Maps won the game, 8 to 2. Heinie Berger pitching against Rube Vickers-
