HUERTA WILL SPARE LIFE OF MADERO

No one has been allowed to talk -with
the prisoners, although their -wives
have been permitted to send verbal
messages.
Madero has signified nothing regard
ing his future plans, even if permitted
to leave the country.
The members of his family are
equally reticent, but by those most in
timate with them it is considered not
Improbable that the entire family will
emigrate to South America, if the op
portunity is afforded them.
REFUGE OXCE WAS LOCATED
Gustavo Madero, who was shot yes
terday, remarked on one occasion that
South America had been considered as
a refuge just before it became evident
that the government of Porfirio Diaz
was weakening. The Madefos about
that time considered they were beaten
and had made all arrangements to buy
property in South America.
The treasury department at present
is closed pending its formal delivery
to the new authorities by the retiring
minister of finance, Ernesto Madero.
All the other offices of the government
are open for the conduct of affairs
as usual.
The arsenal formally has been, deliv
ered over to General Blanquet, the new
commander of the post, the Diaz forces
being roundly cheered as they marched
out.
Francisco Cosio .Robelo, who suc
ceeded in attracting to his banner of
revolt against Huerta possibly 100
rurales, is making little headway. Gen
eral Francisco Romero yesterday was
arrested for complicity in this revolt,
and today Colonel Arturo Valle of the
rural guard also was placed under ar
rest on the same charge.
GREAT OVATIOX TO DIAZ
General Diaz came into his own late
this afternoon so far as a manifesta
tion of popular approval was con-,
cerned. < •
Riding at the head of his troops,
which for nine days withstood the at
tacks of the government, Diaz received
such an ovation as had not been wit
nessed here since the triumphal entry
of Madero at the close of his revolu
tion.
Crowds filled the streets to witness
the march out of the troops from the
arsenal, and the big equare in front of
the national palace, where the troops
r>as»ed in review before the new presi
dent, was one great mass of humanity.
In the line were the guns which had
battered the palace, and squads of men
without uniforms bore witness to the
fact that Diaz had the support of
others than mutinous soldiers.
General Diaz, true to his standing
as a retired army officer, was dressed
in civilian clothes. lie was on horse
hack. A detachment of troops fol
lowed and then a line of carriages con
taining the new members of the cab
inet.
HUERTA RECEIVES CONQUEROR
At the palace Diaz and his staff were
received by President Huerta in a most
fordial manner, and felicitations were
exchanged. ,
Flags floated everywhere along the
line of march, and the appearance of
Diaz was the signal for a great dem
onstration. Confetti and flowers were
thrown from the valconies and "»ivas"
sounded in a vast chorus, in which the
foreigners joined.
At the close of the review the troops
were dispatched to their barracks.
The crowds continued their jollifica
tion. Thousands marched through the
downtown district, carrying banners
and dividing the "vivas" between the
popular idols—Huerta, the president,
and Diaz, the conqueror.
All political prisoners throughout the
country have been ordered released by
President Huerta. One hundred and
fifty prisoners in the penitentiary here,
hitherto overlooked, were discovered
this afternoon and set free.
CiEXERAIi DIAZ DENIES REPORT
Felix Diaz today denied responsibil
ity for the execution of Gustavo Mβ
<l#ro and Adolfo Basso, superintendent
of the national palace. The official
report on the death of Gustavo Madero
Bays:
"He was being removed from one
part of the arsenal to another when
he made a dash for liberty. The officers
in charge fired at him and killed him."
Adolfo Basso, an old man, was killed
inside the rebel lines.
The death of Gustavo Madero is still
a chief topic of conversation among
the populace.
Many people today sought for sou
venirs of the dead politician, and one
person paid $25 for «. fragment of his
eye glass.
Juan Sanchez Azcona, private secre
tary of Francisco Madero, and Jesus
Ureueta, Madero's chief supporter in
the chamber of deputies, were added
to the list of prisoners yesterday. They
had escaped from the city in an auto
mobile during the upheaval at the na
tional palace, but were captured be
tween here and the coast.
OLD DIAZ IS AVENGED
A telegram was sent today to the
Paris residence of Porflrio Diaz, the
former dictator, by Felix Diaz, his
nephew, and General Huerta, the new
provisional president, in which the
aged general was informed:
"You have been avenged against your
former enemy."
Preparations had been made at mid
night for former President Madero's de
parture with the members of his fam
ily into exile, but these suddenly were
halted by mysterious orders* from Gen
eral Huerta.
Madero and the former presi
dent's two Rist«>rs and his aged father,
together with the family of former Vice
President Suarez, waited at the station
ready to depart for Vera Cruz and
thence for Europe.
Rut at the hour which had been fixed
for departure congress was etill in ses
sion discussing the situation.
Senora Madero and the rest of her
party had waited impatiently for more
than two hours when' they were in
formed by fdrmer Foreign Minister
Lascurain that Madero "would be pre
vented from joining them on their jour«
ney."
Senor Lascuiain declared that lie was

One woman was forced to surrender $190 which she had hidden
in her dress.
La Palma ranch also was raided, but the extent of the operations
there has not been learned.

unable to give any explanation of the
delay.
Senora Madero, fearing the intentions
of congress and General Huerta in re
gard to h#r husband, wept profusely.
She and her party then left the railroad
station and went back to the city.
PEACE SEEMS UNCERTAIN
Only the optimistic residents of the
Mexican capital pretend to believe that
the substitution of General Huerta for
President Madero will result in the
restoration of complete peace through
out the republic.
It remains to be seen how many of
the rebel leaders will accept the invi
tation extended to them by Huerta to
join in an effort to restore normal
conditions. *
The new administration will not tem
porize with any of the rebels. It de
clares that all that is possible will be
done to effect a reconciliation, but in
the event of failure in this direction it
proposes to wage vigorous warfare.
Already federal troops have been sent
to Cuernavaca to prevent the occupa
tion of that city by Zapata.
The new government has been pro
claimed officially in every state of the
republic. Practically all the govern
ers and the military commanders have
telegraphed General Huerta, declaring
their allegiance to hirti. .
POLITICAL AMNESTY EXPECTED
After the manner of newly installed
governments, that of General Huerta
began with the liberation* of political ;
prisoners. Proclamation of a general
amnesty Is expected at any moment.
Three hundred political prisoners have
been released in the capital, while from
Vera Cruz are to be brought those
who were imprisoned with Felix Diaz
In the castle of San Juan de I'lua after
the failure of the Diaz revolt in that
city.
Only three of those arrested by Gen
erals Huerta and Blanquet at the mo
ment of the overthrow of Madero re
main in custody. These are Francisco
I. Madero himself, Jose Pino Suarez,
the former vice president, and Gon
zales Garza, who was governor of the
federal district, and who incurred
widespread enmity owing to his close
affiliation with "La Porra," the polit
ical group directed by Gustavo
Madero.
STUDENTS ACCLAIMED HEROES
The students of the military school
at Tlalpam, who initated the revolt in
the federal capital 13 days ago. have
been acclaimed as heroes by the resi
dents of Mexico City. Already a public
fund has been started for a monument
to those who loet their lives in the
long drawn out battle. The survivors
are applauded by the people whenever
they appear on the streets. They are
everywhere showered with confetti and
flowers frbm the balconies as they pass.
The soldiers who only a couple of
days ago were shooting at one another
in the streets are fraternizing today
and describing the events of the bom
bardment from their different points
of view.
The United States ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson,, who played a promi
nent part in bringing about the agree
ment between Huerta and Diaz, ex
pressed today his keen pleasure at the
restoration of peace.
COUTURE OF MADERO
I IN HUERTA'S HANDS
By ROBERT H. MURRAY
(Special Dispatch to The Call)
CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 20.—The life
of Francisco Madero will be spared.
Provisional President Huerta assured
me of this this afternoon at the palace.
"I assure you, as I have assured the
American ambassador," said Huerta,
"that Madero's life is safe. He will got
be harmed. Our only consideration Is
to prevent him from becoming a men
ace to the future peace of the country.
"There is no desire on the part of the
provisional government to shed blood
uselessly. We earnestly will try to
dispose of Madero justly and to the
best interests of Mexico.
"If it seems to be the wisest course
to exile him, we will do bo. I would
have allowed him to leave last night
had not the public welfare dictated
keeping him in confinement for the
present.
"The organization of the new gov
ernment is complete and I shall now set
myself in earnest to the task of pacify
ing the country so that an" election may
be he.ld and the provisional government
be succeeded by one chosen by the
people."
Asked as to the length of time prob
ably It would take to pacify the coun
try, General Huerta declined to express
an opinion for publication.
Men high in the councils of the new
regime #eclare there is no possibility of
restoring order and bringing about a
..condition sufficiently near normal to
.warrant an election in two years at the
very least.
Friends of Madero are not at all san
guine that the lire of the deposed pres
ident will be spared. It is recalled
that at the time of the *coup d'etat
Madero was assured that he and his
family were safe. Almost before the
words were uttered Gustavo Madero was
shot down. General Huerta declares
that the shooting of Gustavo was with
out orders, but the Maderistas take
this with a grain of salt.
While conditions in the capital are
quiet, reports are coming in from the
outside that sound ominous. Tehu&la has
repudiated the new government. Za
pata, Gomez, Orozco and Robles all re
fuse to recognize Huerta, while the at
tempts to bring the Jesser rebel chief
tains back to allegiance to the govern
ment has, so far as can be learned,
been without avail.
t iberal policy
Lj may end strife
EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 20.—Before con
tinuing the campaign in northern Mex
ico, the rebels will make certain de
mands on the Huerta provisional gov
ernment.
The principal request will be th«
Immediate application of the land
clause in the San Luis Potosi plan as
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1913,
formed in the Madero involution and
later accepted by all revolutionary ele
ments.
Sale of public lands on easy pay
ments will be asked.
"Wβ will demand the fulfillment of'
the land grant clause before taking:
any sides in the matter," said Manuel
L. Lujan, former rebel emissary to
Washington, W ho returned late today
from the rebel camp below Juarez.
WOULD AVOID ANOTHER WAR
He spoke for General Jose Inez Sal
azar, rebel commander In chief, who
controls more than 2,000 troops now In
the field. "Mexico can not stand an
other revolution," declared Lujan. "It
would ruin the country. No matter
how unsatisfactory the present situa
tion may be. we will try to satisfy the
popular demand by political rather
than armed strife."
The relation of Kmllio Vasquez
Gomex, who announced his claim to
the provisional presidency before Gen
eral Huerta, was not made clear.
Senor Lujan said that Gomez was
with Salazar. While the rebel chief
had accepted the Gomez claim, an ad
justment is hoped for in the event
Huerta's cabinet gives guarantees that
the public lands, particularly of Chi
huahua state, would be distributed ac
cording to the former promises of
Madero.
PLAN WILL BE OFFERED
It was said that a concrete plan
would be offered Huerta by a, rebel del
egate who will leave wifchin a few
days for Mexico City.
On the trip to Salaaa's camp, l.ujan
was accompanied by Attorney Manuel
Garz Aldape, named today at Mexico
City as minister of agriculture. Altape
said he would deliberate before accept
ing the office.
Neither is it certain that Colonel
David de la Fuente, Salazar's chief
of staff, and cabinet member, will ac
cept the cabinet position offered by
Huerta. A telegram was received to
day by Senor Lujan from Rodolfo
Reyes, son of the deceased general of
that name, and Huerta cabinet mem
bey. Reyes assured the northern revo
lutionists that their cause was In the
minds of those in power at the na»
tional capital. He asked that De la
Fuente and Garz Aldape hasten to
Mexico City to occupy their cabinet
positions. He said Aat General ,Ra
bagro. commander of The northern mil
itary zone, with headquarters at Chi
huahua city, has received orders to
suspend all hostilities against the
rebels.
OROZCO JR. CONGRATULATES DIAZ
The name of Pascual Orozco Jr. was
affixed to a message congratulating
Generals Diaz and Mondragon in their
activity in the Mexico City revolt. Gen
eral Huerta was not mentioned.
The message was telegraphed today
to Mexico City. It was brought hert
by a courier from a point 100 miles
southwest of Juarez, where the miss
ing general is reported by rebel agents
as located.
From other sources It Is declared that
Orozc6. If living, is writing his cor
respondence from some hiding pMace in
the United States.
Attorney Garz Aldape left tonight
for San Antonio, Tex., where he ex
pects to receive a direct communica
tion from General Huerta regarding the
cabinet offer.
So far he has refused to commit
himself in either accepting or refusing
the position.
Mexican Accuses Americans
DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Feb. 20.—Manuel
Cuesta, Mexican consul here, today is
sued a long declaration asserting that
while serving as a federal officer he
had secured information from Ameri
can officials which was used to assist
the revolution.
Cuesta resigned sewie days ago and
President Madero appointed another in
hifl place. The appointment, Cuesta
holds, now is void, and he will retain
his position unless removed by the
Huerta government.
Upon recommendation of Governor
Maytorenar of Sonora the 300 federal
troops at Aqua Prieta today acknowl
edged allegiance to General Huerta by
giving a military parade. Most of the
troops are Yaqul Indians, the remain
der being former soldiers of the older
Diaz under command of General Ojeda.
Tons of Mail Shipped
SANT % ANTONIO, Tex.. Feb. 20.—More
than eight tons of mail destined to
Mexico was shipped from the San An
tonio postoffice today to New Orleans,
where it will be reshipped to Havana,
and there taken aboard a vessel for
Vera Cruz. The mail has been accumu
lated since train service on the direct
line from Laredo to Mexico City was
discontinued. Until train service is re
stored all mail from the United States
will be dispatched via New Orleans
and Vera Cruz.

California Patriotic League
ZJPATA EXPECTED
TO MAKE TROUBLE
FOR NEW REGIME
Continued Guerrilla Warfare
of "Irreconcilable Rebel"
Appears to Be Fore
gone Conclusion
Continued From Vngr I
dor Wilson yesterday that Gustavo
Madero had been killed by soldiers
without orders. General Huerta as
serted,, however, that Gustavo had
joined with President Francisco I. Ma
dero in two attempts to assassinate
him (Huerta) and had held him a
prisoner for a whole day.
This statement would seem to ex
plain the reason why Ambassador Wil
son was refused a conference with
Huerta except in the presence of Ma
dero himself, as it indicates that
Huerta was a prisoner and under sus
picion at the time Mr. Wilson's re
quest was made.
ONE STATE DENIES HUERTA
The congress of the state of Coahuila
has refused on constitutional grounds
to recognize the authority of General
Huerta, has prepared to arm troops to
resist his authority, and has appealed
to the governors of other states to
take similar aotion.
. The stability of the new government,
in the opinion of officials here, will de
pend entirely upon the extent to which
Huerta and his leaders are willing to
recognize the directing powers of the
Mexican congress.
So far as, the record goes, the forms
of the Mexican constitution appear to
have been observed in the perfunctory
elevation of the minister of foreign
affairs to the presidential office for an
hour or two before his replacement by
a provisional president chosen by the
congress.
The real test is looked for In the
provision for the holding - of popular
elections and the willingness of the
de facto government to surrender con-
troi to the officers chosen by the peo
ple.
So long as Mexicans alone are in
volved in the executions and deporta
tions there can be no interference on
the part of this government, although
it has been suggested that possibly
Ambassador Wilson and other members
of the diplomatic corps in the City of
Mexico might unofficially use their in
fluence for mercy.
Meanwhile there is nothing for the
United States to do at this juncture
but to permit the situation to develop
normally, in the expectation that the
Mexican people will be able to erect a
permanent government representing
their wishes on the wreck of the Ma
dero establishment without the aid of
outside influences.
War department officials are at a
loss to understand the complaint from
Governor Colq,uitt of Texas against the
policy pursued by the administration
in the conservation of peace along the
border.
Brigadier General Steever has estab
lished what the soldiers regard as a
most efficient military patrol along
the entire northern boundary of Mex
ico, and although he is in position to
know precise conditions in the neigh
borhood of this line, so far he has
failed to report any causes of com
plaint which Governor Colquitt has
mentioned. The general staff feels it
unnecessary to add to the border pa
trol.
ORDER BEING RESTORED
Order is being restored in Mexico
City. Ambassador Wilson so notified
the state department.
Relatives of Americans in the Mex
ican capital may send money direct to
banks, althpugh it may be sent through
the embassy if desired. Although quiet
prevails by day, the ambassador re
ports many looters abroad by night.
Tire American embassy relief com
mittee is actively relieving sufferers
among the sick, wounded and destitute.
Consuls report anti-American Reel
ing subsiding in the states where the
circulation of false statements con
cerning plans of the United States has
aroused enmity.
TJUERTA HONORS
n WAR STUDENTS
CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 20.—A new
interpretation of the soldiers , oath of
of allegiaxice was given by General
Huerta, addressing the students of the
military school at Tlalpam today.
These students were the ones who be
gan the revolt in the capital.
Although Huerta directed the cam
paign against Felix Diaz with vigor
for more than a week, he told these
boys that they acted properly and lived
up to their obligations as array men in
"striking for the welfare of their
country."
All of them received commissions as
lieutenants.
There Is to be no laxity Jn ordinary
army discipline under the new tefclme.
This was indicated by the prompt ex
ecution in one of the court yards of
the national palace today of a bugler
who had fired on his superior officer.
Northern Leaders for Huerta
LAREDO. Tex.. Feb. 2«. —Revolu-
tionary leaders in control of Nuevo
Laredo announced tonight that they
GOLDBERG'S GUY
would recognize General Huerta as
provisional president.
He has been so notified and the
troops there under the direot command
of Pascual Orozco Sr. and Andres Garz
Galan placed under his orders,
A statement was issued from the
headquarters of the revolutionists two
days ago in which it was declared that
Huerta was not acceptable to them and
that the campaign would be continued
until another man was chosen as chief
executive of the republic.
This decision was rescinded at a
conference, when it was decided that
recognition of the present provisional
president would be to the best inter
ests of the country.
Sonora Supports Madero
CANANEA, Mex.. Feb. 20.—A special
session of the Sonora state congress
has been called to determine the atti
tude of the state with respect to the
accession of General Huerta to the
presidency.
Many have expressed the belief that
Sonora will declare itself as still a
supporter of Francisco Madero.
The session will be held early next
week and members from this section
of the state already are leaving for
Hermosillo in order to be on the
ground early.
With the exception of isolated cases
of looting, conditions In the state are
peaceful.
Ten men under Rafael Cam pa looted
the Nogales ranch of the Cananea Cat
tle company last night. Three foreign
ers, two Germans and a Frenchman,
are said to have been in the party of
raider*.
Y. M. C. A. Loss Is $40,000
NEW YORK. Feb. 20.—-The interac
tional committee of the Young Men's
Christian association today made pub
lic the following telegram received
from the Y. M. C. A. in Mexico City:
"Trouble apparently over. All safe.
Association loss $40,000."
Torreon Likes Change
TORREON. Mex., Feb. 20.—General
relief Is felt by all classes in Torreon
at the downfall of the Madero govern
ment. Better feeling is already ap
parent In business circles.
For many months the Madero gov
ernment was unable to provide pro
tection in large areas of this state.
There is evident satisfaction among
the federal troops here, who remained
loyal, believing that all factions would
eventually unite under a good govern
ment.
Consider Quality
First-Then Price
»
Consider first the quality of the piano you expect to
buy. Look carefully into the reputation of its build
ers, scrutinize the. character of its workmanship, the
material used, analyze its tone and test thoroughly
its action. Then consider well the reputation of the
house of which you buy.
Do not be deceived by the lure, of the unreasonably
low price. The very cheap piano is necessarily of
the cheapest possible construction and materials. It
is the product of slipshod methods, of inefficient
workmanship and possesses neither tone, durability
nor artistic finish.
The cheap commercial piano finds no place in our
stock. Instead we show only, the product of fac
tories noted for the worth pi their pianos, the artistic
quality of their tone and their durability.
An examination of our stock will convince you that,
quality considered, good, satisfactory pianos may
be purchased here at prices which are much lower
in, comparison than elsewhere. Not only are our
prices lower, but you have the most favorable terms
and the knowledge that the piano purchased is fully
guaranteed against any and all imperfections of
workmanship and material.
This week wt are showing an especially fine lot of
used pianos that are great bargains. The easiest
possible terms are made on them and the prices are
very low.

MIDWAY'S APPLICATION
MEETS WITH REFUSAL
Railroad Commission Will
Not Let It Sell Gas in
Los Angeles
The railroad cqjnmission yesterday
denied the application of the Midway
Gas company to transport and distrib
ute natural gas from the fields In
Kern county to Los Angeles and other
points in southern California, holding
that the conditions surrounding the
general project to be against public
interest.'
Two principal grounds for the re
fusal were given:
First, that under the proposed plan
of purchase of the gas the landa in
controversy as between the United
States government and the Southern
Pacific railroad, would be largely
drained of their gas supply, to the
financial advantage of the Southern
Pacific and allied companies, before
the question of title could be deter
mined.
Second, that the organization of the
project was such as to create a mo
nopoly of the natural gas in the Mid
way fields.
The contracte for the purchase of
the gas in the Midway field provided
that the Midway company should pay
the Southern Pacific and its allied oil
companies 3 cents per 1.000 feet for
all gas taken from their lands and
also 3 cents per 1,000 feet for all gas
taken from adjacent lands. It was
further provided that in case the
United States government should es
tablish title to lands claimed by the
Southern Pacific, the price to be paid
the Southern Pacific for the gas should
drop proportionately.
Present at the sitting at which the
decision was announced were Commis
sioners John M. Eshleman, H. D. Love

A Perfect Shampoo
in Five Minutes
"Much depends on what yen use
when shampooing," saye Mac Martyn,
in the New York Courier. "Great in~
jury is often done the hair and scalp
by employing harmful mixture* for
this purpose, while a simple thing like
canthroz almost works wonders in
cleansing the hair and scalp.
"After a canthrox shampoo the
scalp is soft and pliant and the hair
will have regained its original luster
and fluffiness and is easier to do up.
"Dissolve a teaspoonful of canthrox
in a teacup of hot water and shampoo
the head well with this, then rinse
thoroughly and dry. You will be
agreeably surprised at the result.
"While canthrox is not expensive,
you should be careful to set an origi
nal package."
