weeks past by a skulking intruder
who was peeping in the windows and
trying the doors. A neighbor vol
unteered to keep watch of strang-
er in the absence of Mr.. Weeks. The
other evening a noise was heard out
side and the watchful guard hur-
ried out to grapple with the suppos-
ed burglar, seizing a coal hod as
he ran. Overtaking the fellow in
the dark he gave him a severe blow
over the head with the coal hod and
went back to the house. Nothing
has since been heard or seen of the
stranger.

WiTHDRAWs REQUEST
 FOR A COMMISSION.
President Chamberiin of Grand Trunk
 Changes His Mind.

New York, Feb. 24-Frank L. yCraw- ford and John D. Lindsey, attorneys for Edson J. ChamberIin, president of the Grand Trunk railway, today sent word to the United States district at torney that they would withdraw their motion to send commission to Eng land to take testimony of the Eng fish directors of the Crank Trunk for use in the trial of MT. Chamberlin and Charles s. Mellen, president of tho New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, who are charged with con- spiracy in violation of the Sherman anti-t trust law.
 ( Although MT. Lindsey would not ex- plain why he and his associate had abandoned the move, judicial sanction for which they had sought for, it was learned today that the government was prepared to require the appoint pnent of 6 commission to examine all documents and books of the Grand Trunk railway they could find in Lon don and if the commission could net get all the books and other documents 1t asked for, all the testimony of the English directors was to be stricken out
 The trial of Chamber1in and MeIlen, it is thought, will be expedited by abandonment of the defendants plan to send a commission abroad.

NOT GOVERNMENT PLOT.
Ambassador Wilson Comments 0
 Death of Madero and Suarez.

Mexico City, Feb 24s-The American ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson, made the following statement tonight re- garding the death of Madero and Suarez:
 Tn the absence of other reliable in formation, I am disposed to accept the governments version of the manner in which the ex-president and ex-vice president lost their lives. Certainly the violent deaths of these persons were without government approval, and if the deaths were the result of a. plot it was of restricted character and unknown to the higher officers of the government.
 Mexican public opinion has accept ed this view of the affair and it is not at all excited. The-present govern ment appears to be revealing marked evidence of activity, f1rmness and pru- dence, and adhesion to it as far as I have been able to ascertain are gen. eral throughout the republic indicating g the early re-establishment of peace.
 "The government as constituted is very friendly to the United States and Is desirous of affording effective pro- lection to all foreigners.
 For the present, Aferfcan public opinion should deal with the situation calmly and accept with great reserve the lurid and highly co1ored stories which are being furnished by some few correspondents. The great naa- Jority of the correspondents here are endeavorfng to deal fairly with the situation"

MODELLING THE ARMY.
Wilson Will Find Country Prepared
 When He Assumes Presidency.

Washington, Feb. 24-Military or ders flew thick and fast today in re- demption Of President Taft's promise to have an army of 10000 men assem- bled at Galveston. the most convenient port to Mexico, all equipped for foreign service and ready to execute any order that his successor might choose to is- sue upon the basis of the conditions that will exist after March 4
 These orders on the whole were sup plementary to those which began to flow from the war department towar ds the end of last week and were caICu- lated to insure the assemblage of the second division of the reorganized army at or in the neighborhood of Galveston.
 The completion of the orders to move the entire second division is in- tended as further warning to Mexico that there will be no departure from the established policy of preparedness during the remaining week of Presi- dent Tafts administration.
 All plans for. the possible sending Of troops into the republic to the south will continue with the same minute ness of detail which would characterize official orders had the present acute condition arisen in Mexico at any time earlier in the strife which has rent that republic since the first uprising against Porf1rio Dinz more than two years ago.

political recognition of the new gov ernment in Mexico, inclining to await further developments in the situation and willing to regard it largely by the recomme endations of Ambassador Will son. whose course so far under eA- trenely difficult and delicate circum- stances, has met with the unqualified approval of the department.
 Major General William H. Carter, who commands the second division, was ordered today from Chicago to Galveston. This will be the secono time that this officer has had the hon. or of commanding complete division of troops within the limits of the state of Texas. the first being in the case of the mobi1izatio of 1911. when the Mex ican trouble first became acute.
 The fifth brigade of this division is already moving under previous orders to Galveston. as is the fourth field artillery, composed of mountain bat teries. The order issued today will set in motion the fourth brigade, the sixth brigade and the sixth cavalry.
 These troops are widely scattered throughout the middle states and along the Mississippi river from the gulf to Canada.
