Mexico city. Feb. 20.-That Fran.
cisco ]. Madero will get out Of Mexico
without having TO face official inNesti'
cations Of one charge or another, now
appears improbable. He has already
been charged with responsibility fol
the death of Colonel Rivefoll whom
he is alleged TO have shot at the tim,
uf his arrest in the palace. A com
mttee Of deputies now has asked that
Madcro be forced TO account fJI
moneys expended by the administra-
lion. This committee called on Pres
ident Huerta this afternoon and urged
that Madero be held accountable for
the depleted condition Of the treasury.
The last details of the organization of
Mexico's new government We're COM
pleted at 4 o'clock this afternoon
when the members OF President Hu-
erta's official family took the oath in
the yellow room in the palace immedi-
ately above that occupied by the de-
posed president and vice president.
Unable 20 witness the scenes from
their room, Ai4dcrO aud suafez were
able to hear the plaudits Of the crowds
IA the streets and IN the big square
IN front. and the bugle calls of the
united army. Significant of the birth
in battle OF the new administration
was the frank display Of soldiers and
the effeeI on the crowds was not lost.
1t served as "a reminder that even if
II were not military dictatorship that
has been established the present ad-
mnistratlCn was OF much sterner fl
Ire than that which had Just fallen.
General Felix Diaz was among those
IN the yellow room when the minis
ters took the oath and heard Huerta
pronounce the formal, time-honored
phrase: III you keep this oath the
country viii reward you; If you do
not, It will call YOU 10 an accounting"
General Diaz was present osten-
sihly in no official capacity but merely
as a private citizen. which he became
many months ago, on resigning his
commission as a general IN the regu-
lar army. Madero and Pine Suarez
betrayed in their faces their chagrin
and humiliation which they must have
felt, according to officers OF their
guard Neither deigned to ask ques-
tons as to what WAS happening In the
room above. but the conversation Of
the guards served to acquaint them
with the proceedings. A sneer show
ed on the face of Madero, but the de-
lection Of the former vice president
was too great, apparently, to permit
q play of other emotions

is the third prisoner occupying the
room. There is no partition. Each
man is furnished with bed and
meals are brought periodically and
served jointly Madero has ceased TO
refuse food and so far as personal
comfort is concerned, he no longer re-
sists efforts in that direction. outside
the room stands a guard of soldiers
and, although there are no windows
IN the room, another guard constantly
IS on duty within. even AT night. No
one has been allowed to talk with the
prisoners, although their wives have
been permitted to send verbal mes
sages
Madero has sfgniied nothing re-
earding his future plans even If per-
nitted to leave the country The
members of his family are equally
reticent, but those most intimate with
them consider II not improbable that
the entire family will emigrate 70
