 which also partook of the form of an indignation meeting concerning the Huerta-Diaz movement in Mexico and the killing of Madero and Suarez, was held last night at the corner of Tenth and G avenue by the Ma deristas of Douglas, Pirtleville and Agua Prieta.
 Nearly 1000 people attended the demonstration, and that the enthusi- asm of those present was at the boil ing point was manifested in the frequent cheers and applause for the speaker and the loud cries of 'viva Madero,' which resounded on the night air. The Mexican band was present and played dirges and patri- otic Mexican airs.
 The fact that the meeting was to be held was kept very quiet all through the day by the Mexicans, the information only being passed around by word of mouth from one to another. At o'clock the band arrived on the corner unannounced ad started to play, this being the first general knowledge of the meet ing. After the band played several pieces, c. G. Sariano, a former of ficial of the custom house at Agua Prieta and later connected with the Nacozari railway, mounted a soap box and addressed the crowd.
 Denounces the Killing.
 In part MT. Sariano said in Span ish: "The news of the assassination of Madero last night in the City oI Mexico has been confirmed by the newspapers of Douglas. It is the greatest crime that has ever been perpetrated by any nation on the face of the globe. When the Diaz government was overthrown by our dead and honored ruler and presi- dent, he had ample opportunity to assassinate the followers of the old Diaz rule, but his honor and man. hood and love for his country and fellow citizens would not permit him to engage in such low down treachery, and the worst that befel1 Diaz, the deposed president, was punishment from the country. Other nations under similar circustances would have done likewise.
 But, fellow citizens, what did Diaz and Huerta do? They assassinatej and brutally killed the man who has given us our freedom, and are you going to stand it?"
 At this juncture great cheers of Viva Madero'' came from the crowd, being repeated for more than five minutes. Sariano then continued his speech by reviewing Madero's work as chief executive of the repub- lie and noting some of the accom- plishments of his administration, touching frequently upon the great handicap he labored under on ac- count of the revolution that finally overthrow him and took his life by treason and treachery. He reviewed the history of the Diaz administra- tions by comparing it with the work of Madero.
 Duty to Resent.
 Continuing, he said: With Felix Diaz at the head of the government it will mean the same conditions that we had before the Madero revo- lution and Porfirio Diaz will again become ruler. He has already sent word that he expects to return to Mexico and for all we know may now be on board the ship sailing for Mexico City at this time. It is our duty to resent such actions and we will do it if we are patriotic and sincere in our desire to have honest and honorable men hold the offices of our government.
 Warrant for His Arrest.
 Sariano is an avowed Maderista and has been a follower of Madero since the first revolution against Diaz. Recently he published a pro- clamation denouncing Huerta, Diaz and their actions at Mexico City and distributed it in Agua Prieta, Doug las and Pirtleville among the MeXi- can population, and it is now said that General Ojeda holds a warrant for his arrest as soon as he crosses the line, on charges of being dis loyal to the federal government.
