TO PROBE CONTRACT SYSTEM
Committee Expected to Make Start
ling Report as Result of Inquiry
at State institutions

Madison members of the
legislature visiting committee, which
had been inspecting the various state
institutions, refused to discuss the
results of their inspection. Definite
information, however, is to the effect
that the committee will make radi-
cal recommendations as to the pres
ent contract system in number of
the institutions. 1t appears that the
cost for manufacturing number OF
the commodities, upon which insti-
tuition labor is employed. exceeds a
price paid to the state for the labor
While the members OF the commit
tee have had no conference, it is be-
lieyed that this question will be fully
discussed in their report and recon-
mendations also will be made cover
ing Constitutional work under con-
tract. The result may be legisla-
tive investigation of the subject Of
contract labor as 1t exists in the Wis
consin institutions.

AS TO HIS MEXICAN POLICY

Princeton, N. j.. Feb. "a. -Presi-
dent-elect Wilson was shocked to
hear the news that Madero and
Suarez had been killed in Mexico
City. It's too bad" he said, but
he resrained from comment, saying
he would maintain his policy of ST.
hence until he had ta6en office.
While nothing has come from Mr..
Wilson to indicate what his attitude
would be. he has kept himself con-
sistantly informed OF developments,
displaying at all times keen inter-
est In the progress of events in the
trouble ridden country.
Mr.. Wilson, it is known, had hoped
from the first that Mexico,s problems
would find amicable settlement With
out the least interference from the
United States. He realizes the gray
ity of development. however, and
is studying the situation earnestly.
1t is even declared among some of
his friends that he may hasten the
announcement of his cabinet so that
he could avail himself at once of
their council on situation that will
require the immediate attention OF
the new administration.
II is said the members OF the Taft
cabinet have volunteered to place be-
fore Mr.. Wilson Immediately all in
formation at their disposal, so that
he may begin TO familiarize himself
with some of the official reports be-
fore taking Office. Mr.. Wilson had no
comment TO make on this phase of
the situation.

Has Been Slain by Assassins.

rounded the prisoners, while the re-
mainder disposed themselves to re-
sist an attack. About fifty men, some
afoot and some mounted, threw
themselves upon the detachment
guarding the cars and the exchange
of shots lasted twenty minutes. when
the attacking party fed.
The body of Madero shows only
one wound. A bullet entered the
back of the head and emerged at
the forehead. The body of Suarez
shows many wounds, entering from
in front
After the engagement on the road
ito the penitentiary Commandant
Cardenas reported to. the military
commander, who conducted him to
Gen. Huerta. The president ssum-
moned his cabinet, and after appris-
ing his ministers of the occurrence
issued an official announcement.
Full Investigation Promised.
Both president and ministers
deeply deplored the affair and de-
cided upon a full investigation to
fix the responsibility to punish the
guilty. Already formal action has
been taken by the authorities. as the
members of the escort are under ar
rest pending the inquiry.
In his capacity as minister of for
e,gn relations Senior de la Barra adj
dressed a note to the diplomatic rep
resentatiyes, giving an account Of
the killing and assurances Of a thor
ough investigation.
The foreign minister says that
after the government had decided
that all facts relating to Madero and
Suarez should be adjudicated ac-
oording to law, it was decided to send
the former president and vice pres
ident to the penitentiary where they
would have the necessary security,
consideration and comfort pending
the next step, known as the accusa-
ton process.
Concern Over international Phase.
An international phase of the trag-
edy which is causing great concern
is that these two officials were
slaughtered after diplomatic repre-
sensations had been made by the am
bassador from the United States in
their behalf and assurances from the
Huerta government that theiy safety
would be guaranteed.

Superior-As soon as Woodrow

prohibits any new contracts for the

ters as teachers in Indian schools

F. Skinner, who has recentlg re-
signed as bishop OF the diocese Of

1t was Bishop Schinner himself
who Went to Washington a. few years
ago to protest against the action Of
Indian Agent Campbell in forcihly
removing two Indian children from
the Catholic Indian school at 0da-
nah, Wis, and compelling thetn TO
attend the government school. With
the aid of Senator La Palette he
carried the affair direct to the White

finally forced the Indian department
to go on record as declaring that In
dian sparents had the same right as
whites to say whether their children

UNITED STATES NOT
TO INTERVENE AS a
RESULT OF Staying
Tragedy at Mexico City Stirs
Officials in Washington, But
Policy Remains the Same
---WilI Watch Huefta.

WASHINGTON. d. G.. Feb. 24-Pres-
ident TAFT announced Sunday night
that the staying of Madero and Suar-
ez, the deposed president and vice
president OF Mexico, deplorable as It
must be regarded. Will not precipi-
tate American military Intervention.
To quote what the president said,
the crime affords no basis for any
change in the policy of the United
States with reference to the Mexican
situation
That policy contemplates the con-
centration of an expeditionary force
of troops at Galveston, Tex, COM
prising the Fourth and Fifth army
brigades. and the maintenance of
battleships in Mexican waters.
The assassination of Madero broth
ers viii be proof to the other lead
ers in the field that failure to obey
the government win result in their
execution if captured. But what this
government is afraid of is that a
reign of terror will be inaugurated
far worse, if that is possible. than
has been the case up to the present
time.
It was in the hope Of preventing
such condition that Ambassador
Wilson, in accordance with instruc-
lions sent to him by Secretary Knox,
expressed the earnest hope that Ma
dero would not be executed by any
summary or illegal process, and that
his life might be spared. Mr.. VIII
son explained that this representa-
tion, made ON behalf of his govern
ment, was based purely on humani-
tartan motives and on the belief that
the execution of Madero would be
blot on the record of the new gov
eminent. Gen. lIuerta promptly gave
assurances that no i'll advised action
would be taken and created the ex-
pectation that Madero would not be
killed
The effect Of the treacherous con-
duct of Huerta toward Madero, the
man under whom he served as milf
tary commander. and his responsible
ity for the death Of his former chief,
will tie, so far as the United States
is concerned, TO place his claims To-
the government of Mexico uHgIef
more rigid scrutiny. His assurances
of protection to Americans and for
eigners generally and their property
will be regarded as worthy of little
consideration and as justifying the
adoption OF all possible precaution
and even Intervention If necessary
His government has not been recog-
nized by the United States nor has
any refusal to recognize it been made
Ambassador Wilson is in relations
with him as the defacto authority in
Mexico City and in other places
where his rule has been accepted.
Huerta will be held to strict ac-
countability for any attack upon
Americans, and should these attacks
be of a general character, or Should
communication be interrupted be-
tween Mexico City and its port, Vera
Cruz. marines and blue Jackets viii
be landed at once and will be prompt
ly reinforced by the army. Public
opinion in the United States is ex-
pected to support such policy, and
the murder Of the Maderos and Suar-
ez unquestionably will create such
feeling in this country as to back
up the extreme step of Intervention
should 1t be taken.
