Mexico City, Feb. 20.-That Francis
without having to face official nvesti-
cations of one charge or another now
appears improbable. He already has
been charged with responsibility for
the death of Colonel Riverol, whom
he is alleged to have shot at the time
of his arrest in the palace
A committee of deputies now has
asked that Madero be forced to ac-
count for moneys expended by the ad
mnistration. This committee called
on President Huerta this afternoon
and urged that Madero be held ac-
countable for the depleted condition Of
the treasury.
The last details of the organization
OF MeXico's new government were
completed at o'clock this afternoon,
when the members of President
Huerta's official family took the oath
in the yellow room in the palace, i'm
mediately above that occupied by the
deposed president and vice president.
Unable to witness the scenes from
able to hear the plaudts of the crowds
in the streets and in the big square in
front, and the bugle calls of the united
army. Significant of the birth in bat
tie of the new administration was the
frank display Of soldiers and the ef-
feet on the crowds was not lost. 1t
served as a reminder that even if it
was not military dictatorship that
had been established the present ad-
Innistration was of much sterner fiber
than that which had just fallen.
General Felix Diaz was among those
in the yellow room when the ministers
took the oath and heard Huerta
pronounce the formal time-honored
phrase: IF you keep this oath, the
country will reward you, if you do not,
it will call you to an accounting"
General Diaz was present, ostensi-
bly, in no official capacity, but merely
as a private citizen. which he became
many months ago on resigning his
commission as general in the regu-
lar army Madero and Pine Suarez
betrayed in their faces the chagrin and
humiliation which they must have felt,
according to officers of the guard.
Neither deigned to ask questions as to
what was happening in the room
above, but the conversation of the
guards served to acquaint them with
the proceedings. A. Sneer showed on
the face Of Madero, but the detection
of the former vice president was too
great apparently to permit a play of
other emotions.
Gonzales GarZa the former gov
ernor of the federal district, is the
third prisoner occupying the room.
There is no partition. Each man is
furnished with a bed and meals are
brought periodically and served joint
ly. Madero has ceased to refuse food
and so far as personal comfort is con-
cerned, he no longer resists efforts in
that direction. Outside the room
stands a guard of soldiers, and al
though there are no windows in the
room, another guard constantly is on
duty within.
No one has been allowed to talk to
the prisoners, although their wives
have been permitted to send verbal
messages. Madero has signified moth
ing regarding his future plans. even
if permitted to leave the country. The
members of his family are equally
