NEXT CITY TO
CAP|TULATE
Attempts to Secure ArmistiCe
Met by Stern Refusal From
Diaz Until Whole Cabinet
and President Resigns.
Associated Press.

Mexico City, Feb. l5-President
Taft has just telegraphed the British
minister that American troops are
coming to the Mexican capital.
I'VE regard intervention as inev-
table" This declaration was made
this afternoon from the steps of the
national palace by senate leader
who had gone to the palace with col
leagues earlier in the day to demand
the resignation of President Madero,
but they were unable to find him.
Mexican senators also informed
the populace in street speeches that
Madero had been defeated.
1t became known today that the
reported resiSnaliun OF Madero last
night was given out by the British
legation. 1t was based on the know
ledge that De La Barrn had gone to
the palace to confer with Madero,
and it was taken for granted that he
had succeeded in persuading the pres
ident to step out.
For the first time in the battle,
there was a heavy bombardment in
the darkness at about ) O'Clock this
morning.
The heavy bombardment of the ma
tional palace and the spirited federal
feply were taken 10 lnulcate tHat
Madero had not decided to resign.
This morning it was reported in some
quarters that the rumor was only a
federal strategic move.
At daybreak the hostile forces oc-
cupied relatively the same positions
as last evening.
The exodus from the battle dis
trict was greater today than yester-
day.
The offices of the Daily impartial
have been commandeered for federal
operations.
The rebels extended their lines
this morning and the constant shift
ing of the federal position caused a
fresh exodus of those who remained
on the fringe of the danger zone.
A large rebel force, commanded by
General Geneveve de Lao, was en-
camped a few miles from the capital,
ready for orders from Diaz. De Lao
this morning Issued proclamation
explaining his intentions. Diaz Sc
cretly sent out number of officers
to aid in drilling the De Lao re-
cruits.
AT s O'Clock the rebels were per-
sistently extending their artillery
fire. sending many shells toward the
national palace.

KENEHAN TO HOLD

Must Clear The Docket Before
Warrants viii be HOnored
Says Old Watchdog.

Judges of all district courts
whose dockets are not clear when
they apply at the state auditors Of
flee for warrants for their salaries
will be unable to secure their pay"
declares State Auditor Roady Kene-
han. who has caused affidavits of
clearness to be printed on each ju-
dicial warrant.
This law is on the statute books;
it was put there to induce judges to
clear their dockets as rapidly as
possible and to facilitate litigation.
and | propose to see that The law is
obeyed-or repealed, continued
Kenehan.
The decision of the state auditor
to enforce this provision of the stat
utes has created much comment
among the judiciary of the state, who
declare it an impossibility to live up
to the letter of the law.
Kenehans draft of the affidavit
follows:
Il. ---, district judge in and
for the - judicial district of the
state of Colorado. do hereby certify
that all motions. demurrers. issues
and other matters arising in any
court which have been brought he
fore me have been determined as
required in section 1491 of the 1908
revised statutes of Colorado
Unless a judge signs this affidavit
and swears to it in person, his sal
airy voucher will not be honored nor
exchanged for warrant for the
quarterly salary due him. declares
kenehan.
Kenehan asserts that the docke.s
OF some courts are crowded %%f;..ih; III; mo
tions, demurrers and other matters
in pending causes which have been
laid over from week to week and
from month to month. acting as de-
terrent to important litigation. The
intent of the statute he will endeavor
to enforce. he declares, is to initiate
against this practice of delay.
