In charge OF the Zapata movement in
Central and Southern Mexico II here,
and at the suggestion OF Secretary
Bryan. has laid before President Will
son and the State Department inform
alton tending to controvert statements

The agent submitted a statement OF

asked that In any settlement Of the
Mexican problem full consideration be
given to the Zapatistas.
The Zapatistas base their preten sion 8
on an assertion that they represent
the revolutionary movement In the
most thickly settled portion Of Mex
leo. containing 7b per cent OF all the
population. Zapata, the agent said,
has an army Of $1,000 men and con-

The FIRST round in tho night Of Tho

all public hack owners and incident
ally to compel the Yellow Taxicab
Company and others to respect tho
Taxicab law was begun to-day In the
Board Of Aldermen when Alderman
William d. Brush introduced an
amendment intended to bring the
Yellow Taxicab and other big COM
panies within the pale.
When the taxicab ordinance was
adopted there was one paragraph
which. harmless enough on the face.
gave the big companies privileges
not enjoyed by the little fellows. 1t
was a sort Of Joker reading:

or govern any vehicle hired or OBJ
tained from a livery stable or gar
age. and which does not solicit pat
ronage upon the streets. nor to any
Omnibus running by authority OF an
ordinance. law, charter or permit
upon q fixed route through the city"
Alderman Brush proposes to clear
UP tho situation by killing that clause
and having this adopted:
"A public hack Is q vehicle which
uses the streets, highways and public
places OF the city for the transporta-
ton Of passengers, with or without
baggage. for hire, pay or compensa-
ton OF any kind. 1t makes no differ.

the public streets or In the garage or

for the Yellow Taxi Company and
others to evade the public hack law
by keeping their cars in garages and

Alderman Brush's amendment to
the ordinance was referred to q COM
mittee. II will be reported out at
the next meeting Of the Board--a
week from to-day. Both usion and
Tammany members OF the Be ed
have agreed to vote for II. Mean
while stories are being circulated to
the effect that attempts will be made

Under the influence OF her great
screws she backed out into the river
and then the tungs took hold to swing

Before this could be accomplished
the overhang Of the stern Of the Va

to these piers were the Morgan line

It appeared to those aboard the

had demanded an increase in wages

notice that II their demands were no,

When ! o'clock arrived tho police
force In Hoboken was lined up on

WOMAN To- DIE
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
FA|NTS IN CELL
Madeline Ferola Hurried Off
to Sing Sing Because
of Collapse.

Mrs. Madeline Ferola, after being
sentenced to-day by Justice Davis In
the Supreme Court in Bronx County
to die In the electric chair at Sing
Sing Prison in the week beginning
July 8. fell in a heap as soon ns she
had been taken from the courtroom.
She had gone through the ordeal Of
hearing sentence in a daxe. but once
outside she went TO pieces emotional
ly. The matron Of the county prison,
Mrs. Minnie F7aherty. could do no.
thing to quiet her.
Sheriff James F. O'Brien, who had
intended to allow her to remain in
the jail until the expiration of the
ten days allowed by the sentence be-
fore taking her to Sing Sing changed
his mind. He. Deputy Sheriff Thomas
J. Duane and Mrs. Fiaherty started
for Sing Sing with her at 2 o'clock.
She will be put in q cell which has
been built into the old mansion on
the hill opposite to the once Of the
warden at Sing Sing which Is used
as the home Of the principal keeper.
A recent change In the law provided
that all the executions in tho State
should take place at Sing Sing and
as women have never been confined
there the new quarters were neces-
sary. Three women keepers from Au-
burn prison will stand guard over her.
Mrs. Ferola Is tho first woman
to DO sentenced to death In this city
since Mrs. Martha Place was sem
fenced and executed for the murder
Of her stepdaughter In Brooklyn fif-
teen years ago.
Mrs. Ferola was found guilty of
killing Carmelo Canestrale, who had
boarded with her for months at No.
500 Morris avenue. He had promised
to marry the widow and she had
given him 5000. After they had taken
out a mar age license Canestrale re-
fused to become her husband unless
she gave him $500 more. On Dec. 10
