?Tribun' la to the effect thai treta now

rsdlcallv different (rom th..s,- which in
? the main have been pursued by th? Ma?
dero h (ministration regarding certain

puhm This means In effect that the
government will adopt ni"st rigorous
method.- t.. discourage plotters, political
malcontenta, bandits and similar gentry
tro interfering with the orderly und
peaceful ?.induct of public affairs
How far th? t?ctica thus hinted at
will h?-" pursu?sd and t?. what extant
th??v will duplicate the vigorous and
highly effective measures which Por
Irlo Diai found expedient to adopt upon
occasion In order to uphold the author?
ity of the ?'?-?nstitiitii.nai government ?le?
?ad, ol ?ours?-?, upon circumstances, but
it may he said in unqualified terms that
the President is prepared to g?> to any
proper extremas comprehendad within
his powers to maintain the Integrlt) of
ihe administration and punish the ene?
mies ?? law and order.
Not only will drastic and Biunmary
punishment be meted out to the follow
ers of revolutionaries and to bandits
generally, but the power of the law will
be ?n\oked against ? ertain radical news?
papers and . irnalists whose campaigns
?sification and ssnsationalism have
embarrassed the administration and
tended to incite against it unwarranted
antagonism and suspicion among th??
ignorant and easily excited lower classes.
A dozen or more newspapers which hav?
been conspicuous by their abuse of the
government will he suppressed and their
editora prosecuted for libel. Several jf
these men. Who are. foreigners, will '.?a
deported.
Prolific Source of Disorder.
The public demonstration habit, to...
which has become a prolific source of
unnecessary disorder in the capital anl
other placea, will ?Ibo be curbed. Or?
ders already have been issued to the p>
]jce to prevent demonstrations whi.-h
have for their object denunciation and
unwarranted criticism of the govern?
ment. It was explained to-day by one
of the members of the government that
gr ??s advantage had been taki?n by agi?
tators of all sorts of the desire and dis
fosition manifested by President Madero
in the three months which have elapse?!
since he was inaugur?t?d to nllow th?
fullest possible latitude of fro?, speech
and political liberty.
The President was determined to
give th? people the fullest opportunity
of exercising their rights without being
hampered or repressed in any way."'
said this official. "By far the greater
number of citizens have availed them
selves of these rights in a lawful man?
ner. This, however. Is unfortunately
not true of a comparatively small num?
ber, of men, who have misused the
knlency of the authorities and mistaken
the attitude of the administration for a
sign of weakness. They have imposed
upon good nature many times. When
meriting punishment for obvious infrac?
tion- of the law they hav been undis?
turbed. This has made th? m holder and
more intolerable In their attempts to
foment trouble. Now they will be com?
pelled to behave themselves. If they
disregard the warning now issued. It Is
they who will be hurt."
Stands by His Pledges.
"The President stand?* upon every
pledge ?itirl guarantee which he srav be?
fore his election, but he does not intend
to allow the country to be at the mercy
of thos.-? who see profit to themselves in
disorder snd lawlessness. II?- has
treated ?he people fairly and Intends that
fhey shall deal fair/.?- wftfl bin In re?
turn. It i.? his duty and his determina?
tion to compel them to save themselves
from the inevitable consequences of their
own folly If they are not wise enottgtl
and farseeing enough to save thetn
?elrea There ??in he no mo-f> temporis?
ing with Sgitatora and trouhb? makers.

SceordJng to the law and to their des?
serts.?'

dero. Minister ?.f Finance. f.lrt The
Tribune correspondent this afternoon
that th.? administration felt no uneasi?
ness over last week's ??uthreaks in
Juarez and Chihuahua or over the Za

"It Is Impossible for me to reply to
this ?jiii-stion too strongly In the nega?

MYSTERY OF BOMB M

WRONG MAN, CORONER SAYS
j Police Study Past of Man Held
for Death of Mrs. Walker, but
Fail to Show Who Sent
Infernal Machine.
"He's a good boy. He was home on
Christmas, and I'm going down to the
City at midnight to do all 1 can to help
him."
This was what Thomas H. Dickinson.
postmaster of t'hamplaln, said yesterday
eboul his son. Charles M. Dickinson,
win? was held by <'.?rotier Feinberg on h
charge of homicide in connection with
the death of Mrs. ??race Willis Walker,
who was killed by a bomb on Saturday
in h?*r apartment, at No. L08 West "th
street.
The police in the mean time had un?
covered a Story of the life of young
Dickinson that showed him as far from
a good boy, yet they seemed at the end
of the da\ to be no nearer than they
were on Saturday night lo Unding who
sent the bomb to Mrs. Walker. They
ha.I. to be sure, conflicting stories from
Dickinson of th.- occurrences immedi?
al el> following the explosion of the
bomb, and th??y had his story of a quar?
rel <>n Wednesday ami being ordered' nit
ot the house on Saturday.
But they had als?, still to r\nd the mys?
terious messenger who is reported to
have carrh?d the bomb to the Walker
a part ment, and they had added to their
myst'Ties the discovery that one man.
who was at least a visitor to the apart?
ment, was a certain J. H. Taylor.
And this was tin? more mystifying, as
Mrs. Walker, on moving to the 77th
s' cet address four months ago. assumed
the name of Taylor, and Commissioner
Dougherty thought he had assured him
.?-. if on Saturday night that the wom?
an's hal husband was Howard Taylor,
Who bad ?lied in I'ecemti.-r. Vet Dr. I*
j. Oeborne, <>f *?*?. |?jg Woni 16th street,
who had been the woman's physician
for thirteen years, told the police last j
night that he had known her all that
time as Mrs, Walker, and It was only
?Inca she had moved to 77th street that
he had heard her call herself Mrs. Tay?
lor, and he had n*ver heard of a Mr
Ta? lor. though he had known Howard
Walker.
Might Identify Dick.nr.on.
Added to this was the refusal of the
pottos In?5* night to take advantage of
the opportunity to prove or dispro\e one
part of the story told by Dickinson.
This part of the story was that <>n Sat?
urday afternoon he had telephoned to
Mrs. Walker from Healy's restaurant,
at 80th ?treat and Broadway, before
|IH WHiit to her house, and the refusal
of the poWi'e was to allow Martin Healy
to Identify Dickinson as a man who
had u?ed the telephone in his restaurant
Saturday afternoon.
The theory held by ?the police is that if
Dickinson had telephoned to Mrs.

trivati? e was his own invention, and
Relchalt was authorized by th? police
to carry out t?*sts with a dummy first
from a stage on the Biffai Tower. Hav?
ing absolute faith, however, in tiie effl
oacjr of his invention, K??i?-helt secretly
determined to dispense with the dummy
and try the experiment in person. He
rapidly donned the garment, and beforo
he COUld !>?' stopped leaped Into space.
For some reason the cape failed to
open, and Rei? belt dropped like a stone.
\ great crowd that had gathered at the
na>t- of the tower burst into Jeer? when
they saw what they believed to be the
dummy drop. Their mirth changed to
?onsternation when they realized that it
was the inventor himself. Hardly a
bone In his body was left unbroken.

Tells of Quarrel, and Boy
May Have Attempted
Life Previously.
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick William Noble,
bride and bridegroom, died in ttatj
other's arms yesterday morning, lylnc
outstretched on the bare, rough floor of
their tiny kitchen. I_?ss than a month
had elapsed since young Noble and ?h^
former wife of Walter Llrpen^rd Suy
dam, Jr., had made a truce with conven?
tion through marrlag?*. Vet less than a
month of pea?? had driven these two
social rebels to suicide.
The gas from all the Jets In their gas
range, only a few feet away, poured
over them and eddied back from the
four walls of the tiny room, from th.?
tight shut window and the closed door.
The open oven door swung out within
an ini'h or two of their bodies as they
lay on their backs side by side, the
woman's head pillowed on her husband's
left arm. both faces turned away from
the rush of suffocating gas issuing from
the oven.
So the police found them ai tOufe)
o'clock >esterday morning in thetl ...

apartments, No. m% Weet 1'Jih ??

united her legally to Noble. I bevs
had a very uncomfortable time ??' it
since last September, what with crank
letters and stage offers and the constant
prying of amateur del?;? tlves and inter?
viewers. Now it Is all over, and I hope
we may be allowed to live in i?>ace."
David Servias, proprietor and superin
tendent of the house, had found one
outer door of the double apartment the
couple occupied bolted from within, so.
that his pass key was ?seles.-?, and th*?
oth.r door so barricaded with chairs a*td
other furniture that lie couldn't force hi?
way in. H?: therefore teleph?me<l to Po?

and was afraid something might have*
happen?*.!. Mr. Serviss tried to connect
with lhe apartment by telephone, but re
salved no answer. Then he tried th-*.
doors, and before lie cailed the police h?
communicated with Mrs. White.
Mrs White and Captain Dominirk

rived almost simultaneously, the mother
in her limousine. She wenl. up in the
elevat?.*r with the policemen and wat
about to follow them Into he-,- daughter'*,
apartment when they had burst open
the barricaded door, but the flood if
gas which met the little party o? in?
vaders told the story too platal**? and
without penetrating to the kitchen sho
was l.d away In a fainting condhio-i
and eared for in Mr. Serviss's apart?
ment.
Serviss called Dr. Walter S< ott Ora
