TO GREAT BRITAIN
Important Diplomatic Post
rendered Former Secre-
tary of State-May
Decline Offer

Washington, March S.-President Will
son has offered to Richard Olney of
Boston, Secretary of State in President
sador to Great Britain.
1t was not known whether Mr.. Olney
would accept, and it was said today
that the matter had not gone so far
as the sounding of the court of st.
James as to Mr.. Olney's acceptability.
No appointments to the other impor-
tant diplomatic posts had been finally
decided upon.
In view of Mr.. Olneys statement that
he had not been offered the mission to
st. James court it was said by those
In position to know that the offer of
the post had been decided upon and
that Mr. Olney would shortly be ap-
prised of It,
Some Massachusetts, democrats have
felt that their state was sighted in
the makeup OF Mr. wilson's cabinet
and It is believed this fact had some
weight In bringing Mr.. Olney's name
to the fore. Some doubt was expressed
today whether Mr. Olney would ace
cept the post. because he is IS and has
had an exceptionally active life.
In official circles 1t was thought
Great Britain would not be likely to
object to this appointment since he held
two cabinet positions under Grover
Cleveland. Mr.. Olney's legal ability
administration advisors believe. would
be 81 great value in the conduct of the
Panama canal negotiations, and they
are anxious that he accept the London
post.
1t was said at the White House that
next to Chairman McCombs Of the dem
ocratic national committee, Augustus
Thomas. playwright, was foremost in
President Wilson's consideration for the
post OF ambassador to France. Mr.. Me-
Combs, it was said, had not made up his
msnd whether he would take the post of
ambassador or remain as chairman OF
the committee.

the Forehead --Suarez Also Shot in the Back
Much SkeptCSm Prevails as to the Real Facts Of the Affair."
and Suspicion Exists That the Fate Of GustavO MaderO Was
Melted Out to Latest Victims in Predetermined Manner.

Mexico, City. Feb. % Francisco
/. Madero and Jose Pine Suarez are
dead. In a midnight ride under
guard from the national palace to
the penitentiary they were killed.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of the deposed president and
vice-president of the republic are un-
known except as given in official ac-
counts. which do not in all cases con-
form. The only witnesses were those
actually concerned in the killing.
The provisional president. General
Victoriano Huerta. says the killing
of the two men was incidental to
fight between their guard and par
ty attempting to liberate them. The
minister of foreign relations. Fran
cisco De La Barra. adds that the
prisoners attempted tn escape.
Neither makesa definite statement
as to which side fired the fatal shots.
The tragedy occurred shortly after
midnight. Madero and Suarez. who
had been prisoners in the national
palace since their arrest on Tuesday
last. were placed in an automobile.
which was accompanied by another
car and escorted by 100 rurales un-
der the orders of Commandant
Francisco Cardenas and Colonel Ra-
fael Pimiento.
Sonora Madero. widow Of the ex
president. received the first definite
information of his death from the
Spanish minister.
Soon afterward, accompanied by
her brother, Jose Perez and Mer-

to see the body of her husband
Sonora Suarez also was denied ad-
mittance to the mortuary. where
physicians, in accordance with the
law. were performing an autopsy.
SISTER DENOUNCES.
In contrast to the widow, whose
grief was of a pitiably silent charac-
ter, expressed in sobs, Mercedes Ma

Gated in Paris. who has been bril-
liant leader of society since the rev.

Sonora Madero continued weeping
and the girl did not cease her hys'

vices.

Editorial Comment

No honorable man can have any
respect for Huerta. the Mexican ger-
eral who sold out to the rebels and
betrayed President Madero into their
hands in order to get his place as
President. Benedict Arnold has
Mexican counterparts in both Huer-
ia and Banquet. The murder of
the Maderos and Saurez is disgrace
to civilization.

of subscriptions we're received and
the contest manager was kept busy

o'clock at Light issuing votes to
the various contestants and their
friends. Last week was the real be-
ginning of the contest. Everybody
who made an effort succeeded in Sc
curing a number Of subscriptions,
and the real standing of the contest
ants is so close that it is impossible
for even the contest manager to
have the slightest idea of a single
probable winner. They are all so
near together that no one can tel.

ing the number of votes held in
reserve. All contestants are the Gus
todians of their own votes. They
turn in their subscriptions and Sc
cure their votes. Some of them pre-
fer to have a large number counted
for them at this time, while others
prefer to hold most of their strength
in reserve. but all are holding back
more or less votes and have learned
that it is to their interest to keep
the number of their reserve votes
unknown. Some of them refuse to
tell their closest friends how many
votes they are holding back.

doctor bills.
In that accident at least twenty
people were injured, half a dozen
so severely that they will suffer
for the rest of their lives.
One of those so injured is Mrs.
Rose Aichetel, As years old, wife
of Paul Aichetel, 1912 West Tay-
Ior street, and mother of five
children.
Mrs. Aichetel had been shop
ping with Miss Gertrude Not
man, friend of the family. They
had been in the toy department
on the fourth floor, buying Christ
mas presents for. the Aichetel
children.
They went toward the Passen-
ger elevators when their shop
ping was done. A hoorwalker
directed them to the freight ele-
vatOT.
The elevator was already
crowded. There were, as nearly
as Mrs. Aichetel and Miss Not
man can remember, between thir-
ty and forty people in it, mostly
women.
The door of the elevator slid
shut. The boy pulled the lever.
There was a sudden, sickening
descent, deafening crash.

Then she suddenly bent double
as the pain of her injuries racked
her body.
A nurse moved silently to the
bedside.
"You must not talk" she said.
''You are not able. And you must

Aichetel believed his wife was
dying after he heard the doctors
report on the case. He called an
ambulance and had her taken
home.
A Day Book reporter found her
there today, with Miss hoffman
by her side. She was breathing
heavily. It was evident that she
was in great pain.
