The Sword of Robert Lee.

(By Father Abram l. Ryan,
Forth from its scabbord pure and bright,
Flashed the sword of Lee!
Far in front of the deadly fight,
High Der the bravein the cause of Right,
Its stainless sheen like beacon light
Led US to Victory.
Out of its scabbord where full long
1t slumbered peacefully
Reused from its rest by the battle s song
Shielding the feeble, shifting the strong
Guarding the right avenging the wrong
Cleaned the sword of Lee.
Forth from its scabbard high in air,
Beneath virgina's sky
And they who saw it cleaning there,
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear,
That where that sword led, they would
dare
To follow and to die.
Out of its scabbard!- Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led Drawer band,
Nor drawer bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had Cause so grand,
Nor cause chief like Lee.
Forth from its scabbardl how we prayed
That sword might victor be-
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on while cleaned the
blade
Of noble Robert Lee.
Forth from its scabbard! all in vain
Bright flashed the sword of Lee
It's shrouded now in its sheath again,
1t sleeps the sleep Of our noble slain;
Proudly and peacefully.

A Lesson on Lynching.

Recent incidents at Houston,
Miss, furnish another striking
example of the wickedness of
mob rule. A week ago, a pro-
minent lady of that place was
murdered in her own home and
her body concealed under the
kitchen, where it was afterward
found.
Two negro women who lived
near by claimed that they saw
Andrew Williams, another ne
gro, about the scene of the crime
at II o'clock, the hour when the
murder was committed. Will
liams was captured and was I'M
able to procure witnesses to show
where hereally was. When ask
ed by the inevitable mob with
the ever ready rope what he had
to say for himself, he replied pa
thetically: mo matter what l
tells you, you'lld do the same thing
to me-. Then he was duly hang
ed.
The very next day, the real
murderer of the lady was found
and confessed to his crime. Viii
liams was absolutely innocent.
After they allowed their rage to
cool. the mob realized that there
was not the slightest evidence
against him, beyond the unsup-
ported suspicion of two women
of his race who afterward disap-
peared. The mob at Houston
cheerfully took charge of the
real criminal and burned him at
the stake. They also looked
around for the two negro women
who had given false testimony
with the evident intention of
adding their names to the casu-
atty list; but neither this nor any
other act of reparation would
have had the effect of restoring
Williams to life. He is dead for
keeps"
Not only was the killing of
Williams a murder, but it was a
useless murder. Courts some
times err and juries sometimes
show too much mercy, but never
toward negroes accused of crimes
against women. The guilty per-
son in such a case has not the
slightest chance of escape. The
men who lynched Williams may
never be punished by the courts
for their act, but they have the
stain of murder on their souls,
as well as the crimes of insulting
the law and degrading our civil
ization which attach to every
lynching. = Lake Charles Daily

Reports received to-day from
the interior makes it evident the
revolution throughout the repub-
lie is far from ended. The re-
ports said that Emilio Vasquez

dent, taking it for granted that
Emiliano Zapata will continue to
keep his thousands in the south.

TERRIBLE CONDITIONS IN CITY.
All the horrors of lombard
ment have been experienced by
the residents of this city for
many days, and to those that
might be expected have been add
ed the effects of vicious machine
gun and rifle fire in the streets at
a range sometimes of less than
100 yards. Hundreds of build
ings attest by the holemarked
sides and wrecked interiors to
the destructive qualities of mod
ern artillery. How many have
been killed or wounded is ques-
ton which none can answer with
any exactitude. 1t is doubtful
whether even the government
records will ever reveal the cor
rect number.
From a source usually consid-
cred careful and conservative, it
has been stated that the number
Of dead is not less than 1000,
while the total of the wounded
to from 5000 to 10, 600.
The great majority of these are
not soldiers, but men, women and
children unable to escape the
lines of fire. This estimate was
made after hearing the reports of
scores of officers of the White
and Red Cross societies and of
the hospitals.

The President of the Republic is Prisoner His Brother
is Shot to Death Under the Inhuman Fugitive
Law" that Allows No Man to Escape, and
Diaz Promises Peace Once More.

Banquet then issued orders
for the arrest of the president
and assigned a detachment to
that duty. Madero was soon a
prisoner in his own room. The
reason given for the attitude of
General Banquet from the be-
ginning was the presence of his
son in the ranks of Diaz.
F. MADERo FORCED OUT.
Francisco /. Madero, forced
from the presidency of Mexico
by a coup d'etat of two of his
generals yesterday, is a prisoner
to-day in the national palace.
General Victoriano Huerta, who
has been commanding the Made
70 forces agaist the the rebellious
troups under General Felix Diaz
has been proclaimed provisional
governor-general of the republic.
General Aureliano Banquet, who
aided the overthrow of Madero,
is now provisional military COM
mander. These arrangements
have been agreed to by General
Diaz, and the ten days battle
which he has been waging with
the federal troops appeared to-
day to be over.
Vice President Jose Pine Sua-
rez was also arrested and held a
prisoner during the night in the
palace. The minister's cabinet
was given a parole over night.
During the demonstrations of
by the throngs last
night, Marco Hernandez, a broth
er of the minister of the interior,
was killed in the street when he
refused to cry: viva Huerta.
The first official act of General
Huerta in his new capacity was
to send notification to Ambassa-
dor Wilson, asking him to advise
the other members of the diplo-
matte corps and President Taft
that the battle was closed, thus
ending danger to the lives and
interests of foreigners.
The formal transfer of troops
from the rebel zone took place
early this morning. In the mean
while the division lines had been
removed and the heavy cannon
dragged back to headquarters.

GUsTAvo MADERo EXECUTED.

Mexico City, Feb. Is. The ex
ecution of Gustavo Madero
known as the power behind tn,
throne" in Mexico, formed ;
tragic sequel to the upheaval il
Mexico City yesterday, whel
Francisco Madero's administra
ton was turned out by the fed
eral generals. The expression
and his brother, Gustavo, were
sent this morning as prisoners tt
the arsenal from woich Felix Dia,
had bombarded the city for ter
days. Soon after his arriva
there, Gustavo was subjected tt
the notorious Fugitive Law, >
by which he was free to run un.
der the fire of his guards. He
faltered under their bulle is.
There is some trepidation also as
to the fate which awaits the ex.
presidentand his cabinet, because
of the finding of a list of those
who ought to die" among the Of
fetal documents of Francisco Ma
dero's government. 1t is feared
this may lead to ugly reprisals.
Gustavo Madero was generally
regarded as much more power
full man than the president him
self. After Francisco Madero
quarrelled with DR.. Vasquez Co
mez. he and his brother forced
Juan Jose Saurez to the front to
take the position of vice presi-
dent. although he was little
known. This was a thing Made
ro's enemies never forgave, and
was really the reason for start
ing of the anti-government party
which showed sympathy in oppo-
sition to the scheme of politicians
like Gustavo Madero. After
Gustavo Madero's arrest yester-
day and during his removal
through the streets, crowds were
wildly excited and even made eff
fort; sSklay hands upon him. A
heavy guard of rurales was nee
essary to assure the prisoners
safety.
HOW MADERO'S ARREST WAS
MADE.
The direct movement against
Madero was the result of a plot
which had been brewing since
Monday and which possibly exis-
ted with Banquet for a much
greater length of time.
From the first it has been
known that Banquet was unwill-I
ing to fight. His men were of
the same opinion, He held COM
mand over them, and it is not
doubted that they would follow
him in any adventure, which
they did at the national palace
this afternoon.
The forces numbering 1000
men, which arrived late Monday,
were sent Immediately to the pa
lace, ostensibly to relieve the re-
serves there. The reserves were
sent into the field.
An agreement between Gener-
ais Banquet and Huerta was
reached Monday night, but the
first information that Blanquet's
men had of the new role they
were to play was shortly before
the successful stroke was made.
Banquet drew up his men in or
der and delivered a stirring
speech.
This inhuman battle must
end" he said. ''The time has
come when drastic means must |
be taken to stop the conflict in
which father is killing son and
brother is fighting against BROTH
