he intimated that the deaths of Ma

feet of furthering the confidence or

The consul-general declined to dis.
cuss the killing of Madero and Suarez
on the ground that he could say moth
ing until he had received instructions
from his capital.
He explained that the Mexican con-
sular service is under civil service
and would hardly be disturbed by the
new government, but that the diplo-
matte service, being political. would
likely see many changes.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
LONDON. Feb. 24.-The newspa.
pers, without exception, bitterly con-
denim the killing OF Madero and Suar-
ez, and some of them make use of tha
tragedy as basis for fresh pleas for
American Intervention in Mexico.
Some extracts follow:
Daily Mail. The United States had
commanded that Madero should not be
executed without trial and a great
nefghhoring state Is not lightly mock
ed. The pretense Of accident rather
strains credulity.
The Times: Civilized nations will
put their own construction on the
lame and halting story which the sue
cessful conspirators now ruling Mex
leo have chosen to issue. Unless it
can be proved to the hilt, foreign OBJ
servers will retain the opinion that
the removal of the two Maderos and
Suarez is only fresh proof that the
innate ferocity OF Mexican politicians
/ and military adventurers remains un-l
tanned. e
The Express: This is no time for
dalliance or sentiment. America has
been in Mexico before and must go
there again. Further delay means
ruin of all legitimate enterprises In
Mexico, and the large amount OF
British capital invested in Mexico
gives the country the right to urge
such action of the American govern
ment with all the force of friendly
suasion. The United States has as
sumed paternal responsibility for the
whole of the western hemisphere.
They must accept responsibility for
the maintenance OF civilization within
the compass OF their claim
The Express also characterized as
"a pill for an earthquake" the Amer
ican expedition of e,oOo men sent to
the border and said that the work be-
fore America would require 100000
men.
The Daily Graphic: The shooting
of Madero and Suarez shows that
nothing has changed in Mexico and
that nothing will be changed until
either another Diaz arises, or the big
stick" from the north realizes its
duty in these "anarchic wilds.''
The Standard: American interven-
ton in Mexico can hardly longer be
delayed and British opinion will be
wholly sympathetic to any action OF
what the Washington cabinet may de-
eide.
The Daily News: Any middle course
such as the financial or military prop
ping by the United States of one, or
other among the Mexican states and
the establishment Of sort of Mexican
Cuba could only be achieved by COM
bination of luck and the most adroit
! diplomacy. The effect, however, OF
the Monroe doctrine is to throw upon
the United States the onus of acting,
net only on her own behalf. but on be-
half of civilization. Nobody can envy
J her the task, in approaching which

conways Are on Trial for the Murder
Of Sophia Singer In Chicago
Flat Last
October.
CONFESSION REPUDIATED
Couple Now Claim That They Did Not
Commit Crime and Fled Only
Because Of
Fear.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-The trial Of
Charles Conway, former circus clown,
and Beatrice Ryall Conway, burlesque
actress, for the murder Of Sophia G.
Singer, daughter Of wealthy Balti-
more v-Sman, opened here today. The
Singer woman was murdered in fiat
here October .8.
Motion was made by the defense
for continuance in order that Colonel
John I. Martin Of st. Louis. sergeant
alarms OF numerous democratic con-
ventions, and counsel for Conway,
might be able to attend the inaugural
of President Wilson next week. The
motion was overruled and Martin
withdrew from the case. George Re.
mus, Chicago attorney, took his
place.
The state announced that 1t will
TASK the death penalty for both &c
PENDANTS. who have repudiated theil
confession they were alleged to have
made after their arrest and hays
pleaded not guilty. The pair, who
claim to be man and wife, were ar
rested in Lima, Ohio, few days aftel
| the murder. Their escape was imped
ed by the fact that Conway has a
wooden leg.
According to the confession now
repudiated, Conway and the Ryall
woman and Miss Singer and William
/ G. Warthem had been living together
| here for some weeks before the Sing
er woman's death. On the night OF
the murder they quarreled, and, ac
cording to Conway, the Singer woman
attacked him. In defense he struck
her on the head with door knob and
choked her to death. Warthem, who
discovered the body, said he was
about to marry the Singer girl.
The fate of Conway and the Ryall
woman may hinge on the question OF
their marriage. If the court upholds
their claim, neither will be allowed to
give testimony that might incrim-
mate the other The states attorney
declares he has evidence, however
that the couple were never legally
married.
The strongest evidence against Con
way is contained in the alleged con
fession of the woman, who told the
first story of the struggle. She said
she remained in an adjoining room
while the Singer woman was put to
death.
The defense Of the accused couple
will be that their confessions were
extorted from them by third degree
methods and that they had nothing te
do with the murder. but fed because
Of fear of suspicion against them.
A mysterious man who is alleged te
/ have met Miss Singer the night she
was killed, will probably figure in the
defense.

themas upon the heads Of the execu-
TONERS.
Sonora Madero, widow OF the late
president, and her sister-in-law, one
Of the most beautiful women in Mex
leo, social leader here and in Paris,
drove to the prison as soon as rum
ors of what had happened reached
them. The widows grief was pitiable,
but Senorita Mercedes retained per-
feet control and acted as spokeswo-
man for the party.
The officer in charge was courteous
but inexorable in his refusal to per-
NIT the woman to enter. While they
were engaged in colloquy another
automobile bearing Sonora Suarea
drove up on a similar errand. She
too was refused permission to enter
the prison.
My advise, senoras," said the Mex
ican officer. "is that you return at
once to your homes The president
undoubtedly will communicate with
you"
Sonora Madero burst into tears
With one arm around her weeping
sister-in-law, Senorita Mercedes drew
herself up to her full height, looked
scornfully over the array of officers
and guards and with sweeping ges-
ture of contempt and defiance. ex-
claimed:
"Cowards and assassins, all Of you!
You have no hearts. You would In
crease the suffering OF broken hearted
women! Your punishment is to come.
/ You murderers who shot two unarn-
ed men in the back! You trai.ors!"
Covering under the tigerish wrath
of the woman the officers and guards
drew back into the shadows Of the
prison gate as though ashamed to
| face her flashing eyes.
Half supporting the prostrated
| widow Senori.a Mercedes turned and
strode with queenly dignity to the
automobile and drove away.

Intense Excitement.

Ell PASO, Texas, Feb. "a. Reports
from the northern states of Mexico
today indicate intense excitement over
the killing of Madero and Suarez, sbut
fail to show any open demonstration
against President Huerta and his iron
handed regime. That the effect of the
shooting Is unfavorable to the Huerta
government appears certain.
The Madero supporters throughout
northern Mexico, where his strength
Of following was greatest, are ready
to take arms to ayenge his death. but
the government officials and federal
troops have shown no indication OF re-
volt.
From Sonora came the unofficial re-
port that the state congress was to
convene today to determine whether
the state should be declared in open
rebellion against the Huerta govern
ment. Governor Maytorena telegraph
ed from Hermosillo, the state capital,
to all projects thoughout the state to
lake prompt measures to suppress any
demonstrations against Huerta as a
result of the tragedy.
The northern rebels who have been
in arms against Madero ever since he
took Office appeared today to he pleas
ca with the news from Mexico City.
Manuel L. Lejuan, the chief rebel
agent here, expressed the consensus
OF opinion among his adherents in
typical Spanish fashion:
1t is for the good OF the country, "
ne said with a shrug. 1T is similar to
the killing of Maximillian, the French
emperor Of Mexico. 1t is deplorable
but necessary. The effect on Wash
ington in view of the Taft note does
not interest us. Madero could not
have been exiled as he might have
started another revolution. We must
nave peace now.
