2 UNCLE SAMUEL INTERVENES United States Demands Justice FAIR Till FOR FALLEN OFFICIAL IS NOTICE SENT Huerta Told by Request of Secretary Knox, Indorsed by President, Madero Must Not Be Shot secretary, is a prisoner at Puebla. It was reported today that he had been shot, but the report proved untrue. D T AZ FOLLOWERS IN SADDLE ONCE MORE MEXICO CITY, Feb. 21.—The news that Porfirio Diaz was returning to the land from which he was driven by Francisco Madero was not difficult to believe after the scenes in the national palace today. It was evident the men of' the old regime were again in the ascendancy, but with the support of a great number of those who attained prominence during the Madero rule and who, disgusted at the continued war fare, were ready to support any one, even though it be the old conservative element It was a busy day for President Huerta and the new cabinet. While yesterday was the day of organization, today was one of felicitation and the inauguration of multitudinous affairs of govenment. Scores of commissions, official and otherwise, visited the na-! tional palace to pay their respects to the new president. Men went to the palace who had not been seen there since Porfirio Diaz went out of office, among them General Samuel Garzia Cuellar. who was Diaz's chief of staff. PORFTRIO'S PICTURES Men who had been political prisoners until yesterday were among those seeking an audience, all wandering daring the period of waiting about the ancient salons looking for changes. They found one notable one; that was the absence on the walls of the por-! traits of Porfirio Diaz. Already steps to remove the discarded pictures from the museum have been taken in hand. Felix Diaz was among the callers and interested spectators at the official re ception of the government commis sions. His only participation, however, -was that of a private citieen, a role he has assumed. He is not idle, though. Already he and close friends have set in motion the machinery and the party work for his political campaign, which it is hoped by the new administration will be finished in short time. There Is no good reason to believe, however, that President Huerta wili lind the task of pacification simple or particularly short. The awe Inspired by cannon doubtless will act as a re pressive agent in and about the capi tal, but many, with whom rebellion lias become more or less a" profession, will probably continue the strife. Dis quieting reports also continue to arrive regarding the attitude of disgruntled governors and political leaders in many parts of the republic. General Pascual Orozco Jr. is ex pected to arrive soon and espouse the cause of the new administration, but it is considered not improbable that Ine? Salazar, perhaps the second strongest man in the north, will refuse to support any government having the appearance of the old regime. He rep resents the most radical element of the northern rebels. WILSON SEES HUERTA MADERO IS SAFE WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Interven tion of the United States government to secure justice, or at least a fair trial for fallen President Madero of Mexico, as announced by Secre'ary Knox at the cabinet meeting today, was an unexpected development of the state department's policy in regard to that republic. As recently as yester day It was announced that there was no Intention to depart from the policy of nonintervention in the Mexican troubles. It appears, however, that this state ment was based upon the natural as sumption that the newly established Mexican government would observe the amenities of civilized warfare in its treatment of prisoners of either high or low degree, and when the kill- Ing of Gustavo Madero gave ground for genuine apprehension for the fate of the former president it was felt that the time had come to stretch forth a restraining hand. The administration feels that it has not in any manner departed from its policy of strict neutrality. s Its action was purely impersonal, and probably would have followed as surely had General Diaz been captured by Madero and threatened with death without the process of law. The fact is, though not officially admitted, that In an un official manner the state department did bring to bear influences which saved Diaz from deathi when he was captured by General Beltran at Vera Cruz last fall. It is believed that the Mexican peo ple themselves, after the heat of com bat la over, will be the first to ex press gratitude to the United States government for preventing the placing of such a spot upon the reputation of their country as would follow what practically would amount to murder of a deposed president. It is recalled in some quarters that the action of the administration in the case of Madero is precisely the reverse of that taken 46 years ago, when President Andrew Johnson refused to Intervene to prevent the shooting of the unfortunate Emperor Maxi milian, who was by a singular coinci dence betrayed by the military leader, General Lopez, who was his main re liance. PRESENT CASE DIFFERENT In that case, however, it is pointed out that Maximilian was in Mexico greatly ag-ainst the will of the United States, and also that he was tried by a legal tribunal In the form of a court martial. While it is hoped that the Huerta government will be able to draw to its ! support all of the revolutionary leaders of the north and south, the adminis tration continues under the belief that prudence dictates the continuance of the military and naval policy of pre paredness. Pursuant to this, the first and fifth brigades of the army remain under preparatory orders for foreign service, and the three army transports which are due to arrive at Galveston early next week will be retained there, ready to embark troops at a moment's notice. - Secretary Knox, with the approval If President Taft. had, previous to to dies cabinet meeting, instructed Am- Sonora Loyal to Madero Will Not Accept Huerta TUCSON.

NORTHERN REBELS INVITED BY DIAZ Strenuous Efforts Are Being Made to Harmonize —So- nora Divides Fealty EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 21.—Another attempt to pacify the northern revolu tionists was made today. General Felix Diaz invited two rebel representatives to hurry to Mexico City. This is un derstood to be in addition to the two northern rebels appointed on -Huerta's cabinet, neither of whom have ac cepted. The message from Diaz w.as sent originally to Colonel Pascual Oroz co Sr., at Nuevo Laredo, who trans mitted it here to Ricardo Gomez Ro belo, the younger Orozco's personal agent. Rebels and federals in northern Mexico remain in the same positions' as before the Mexico City revolt. Rebel agents here, speaking for the miss ing Orozco and for General Salazar, the acting commander in chief, insist that the northern revolution will await the action of those in power at Mex ico City. Their demands regarding land grants are being formulated for presentation by the delegates to the na tional capital. At Juarez today placards denouncing the army were posted on the prin cipal streets, only to be torn down by police and soldiers. These posted notices charged the army with treach ery to the country, embodying an ap peal against militarism. The volun teer troops are charged by the regu lars with the authorship of the posters, increasing the already great ill feeling between the two factions. Colonel Indorses Diaz NOGALES, Ariz.. Feb. 21.—Colonel Emilio Kosterlitzky, former rurale ! commander in Sonora under President I Porfirio Diaz and one of the strongest ! supporters of that regime, is said to be the leader of the faction which will ; contest the attempt by the state con gress at Hermosillo next week to de clare against the Huerta administra tion. Kosterlitzky's attitude became known ! today, when he was charged with hav ing , suppressed the manifesto reported :to have been issued by Governor May toremo of Sonora, declaring adherence !to Madero and asking the people of i the state not to support the new ad ministration. A report from Cananea today states that the municipal council of that city adopted a resolution not to recognize the authority of President Huerta. Although Mexican officials along the I border maintain a discreet silence, it is believed in some quarters that a seri ous clash is not improbable when the special session of the state congress convenes at Uermoslllo next week. bassador Wilson to convey to General Huerta, in diplomatic terms, the inti mation that the United States would seriously object to a summary execu tion or sentence of Madero. It was felt that the former president should not be slaughtered or put out of the way for crimes which seemed purely political, without a fair and open trial. This view was made plain to General Huerta and the fact was not concealed that the United States looked with disfavor upon the shoot ing of Gustavo Madero, the president's brother. The administration's attitude toward the provisional government of Mexico was discussed at today's cabinet meet ing. , President Taft and Mr. Knox have never believed, it is eaid, that Madero was a strong president for a republic sown with revolution. They have believed, however, that he has displayed many humane traits and that he is entitled to a hearing. They have no particular Interest, other than that of humanity, in what is done with him 1C it is done in legal fashion. Germany Will Protect Own BERLIN, Feb. 21.—The Mexican situ ation came up for discussion In the imperial parliament today when Gott lieb yon Jagow, the foreign minister, replied to an interpellation as to what measures the government had taken for the protection of Germans in Mex ico. He declared that Germany had not sent any warships to Mexico, as the only vessel available in American waters was on the way to Philadelphia for repairs. "Germany in general is committed to a policy of noninterference in the internal affaire of foreign states," said yon Jagow, "but this will not prevent her from standing vigorously for the protection of her subjects."

METHOD OF DIAZ TO BE FOLLOWED BY NEW REGIME Provisional President Will Have Peace if He Has to Fight for It—All to Get Protection MEXTCO CITY, Feb. 21.—That the new administration expects to use the methods of Porfirio Diaz as far as pos sible in governing the country was made evident today in a conversation Provisional President Huerta had with newspaper men. President Huerta declared no mat ter what the cost or who the men were who paid It, peace would be restored. He said it was his ambition that when he left the presidency people would say of him: "He has restored order throughout Mexico, made safe the investment of money and rendered secure the lives and interests of all, both foreigners and Mexicans." HIERTA OUTLINES PLANS Calmly and dispassionately. General Huerta outlined his program for the use of the army in restoring and main taining: order. He admitted that in many parts of the republic where the news of the change in government had not been received all was not in ac cord with peace. To these sections, he said, he would send emissaries, or, if necessary, troops would be dispatched to inform the people of the govern ment's desires "I want to restore to Mexico that uninterrupted current of riches which ia her right." the president continued, "and to bring about such conditions that all the diplomats will feel that their people are secure." FAVORS FREK PRESS The president declared he favored a free press in Mexico, saying antagonis tic organs were desirable, since from them the administration might learn of evils that otherwise might he hidden. An emissary of President Huerta left I today for Snltillo, capital of the stat» of Coahuila, bearing a letter to Governor Venostiano Carranza, who Is reported to be raising an army to light the new j government. In this letter a final ef fort is ma-le to gain the governor's adhesion to the new regime. A train loaded with troops a!so is I on its way to Saltillo from the capital, and in the event that Governor Ciranza I maintains hi 3 attitude of opposition these men will be used against him and j his followers. SECRETARY REPORTED SHOT It is reported that Juan Sanchez Az cona, private secretary to former Presi dent Madero, has been put to death at Puebla. There is no conflrmat on ot the report, but It Is generally believed. Azoona was arrested at Apisaco, while fleeing from the capital, and was taken to Puebla. General Felipe Angeles, former com mander of the army operating at navaca, and General Joaquin Fausto Beltran, former commander of the fed erals at Vera Cruz, arc to be subjected to an inquiry by the military court. General Beltran will be tried for the part he played in attacking Vera Cruz last year at the time of tho ill starred uprising fomented there by General Diaz. He is accused of misuse of the white flag in capturing Vera Cruz and making a prisoner uf General Diaz, who later was brought to the capital and re mained incarcerated until the recent revolt. BELTRAN'S ALLEGED PERFIDY It was charged at the time that Diaz' revolt failed Diax believed that Bel tran's forces would join him. Beltran and his men, under a flag of truce, were permitted to enter Vera Cruz, and Diaz was seized by the federal com mander and placed in prison. General Angeles will be tried for failtfre to obey an order of General Huerta to report to the palace with his forces on the last day of the re cent fighting in the city. General Huerta intended to get General An geles to the palace as a part of- his plan for ending the battle. General Angeles is confined in the same room In the palace with former President Madero. SENORA MADERO APPREHENSIVE Senora Madero, wife of the former president, and Senora Suarez, wife of the former vice president, today, for the first time since their husbands were arrested, were permitted to visit them in the palace. The visits lasted one hour and were private. When the women left the palace they appeared to be deeply apprehensive as to the fate of their husbands. General Huerta assured Senora Ma dero personally her husband would not be killed. Solicitude for the personal safety of Madero was given by Provisional President Huerta to diplomats as the reason why the former president can not be removed from the capital for the present. President Huerta re called the historic attack upon the train which bore former President Diax to Vera Cruz on his exile to Europe, when Huerta himself was in command of the escort. The president added that the inves tigation of the records of the Madero administration was being continued with great care. ZAPATISTAS JOIN HVERTA Part of the Zapatistas have Joined forces with the new administration. News was received today at the na tional palace that Julian Pachaco, lead er of the federal army at Cuautla, state of Morelos, who was one of the first to declare for Felix Diaz, has succeeded In winning over many of Zapata's fol lowers. Pachaco will use thle force with his own which is now moving on Cuerna vaca to occupy it in the name of the Huerta government. Emlliano Zapata himself cent word to the capital that he was satisfied with the new regime, but he requested the removal of Governor Patricio Leyva of Morelos. Reports from the north confirm that Venostiano Carranza, flfb'vernor of the state of Coahuila is raising an army of rebels to light in co-operation with forces being assembled by Madero's brothers. Carranza is said to have as many as 600 men who are using Sal tillo, the capital of Coahuila as his base. VILLAREAL MAY FIGHT It is assumed by the government's supporters here, who are alarmed at the report, that Carranza will have the support of Governor Vlllareal of the state of Nuevo L<eon, father in law of Gustavo Madero, recently executed. Neither of these men has at bis com maud any great number of regular troops. The governor has dispatched forces to the insurrectionary centers to check, the movement and also to Am&? Call.

The police officer said that since this order was not in writing he did not feel obliged to carry It out.

DRUNKARDS DIVIDED INTO FOUR CLASSES Woe Drowners, "Periodi cals, ,, Inheritants and De generates, Says Hatch SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.—Four classes of drunkards are specified by Dr. F. W. Hatch, superintendent of state hos pitals. In the report of the commission of lunacy, issued from the state print ing: office today. The first class is composed of thope driven to drir.k by sorrow or business worries; the second is the "periodical" drunkard, because of a sort of tempo rary insanity, remains intoxicated a long time between intervals of strict sobriety; the third contains those who inherit the mind disorder or suffer early in life from wasting diseases, and the fourth contains the criminal inebriate, who drinks because he is a degenerate. Doctor Hatch recommends the repeal of the inebriety law, which provides for the sending of drunkards and drug users to state hospitals, and the cre ation of an institution for such pa tients, his reason being that the in ebriates overcrowd hospitals and can not be properly handled. Doctor Hatch favored the law when it was passed, but says he had no idea it would be so popular. Since the law became effective two years ago 728 patients have been committed under it and 61 have voluntarily entered state hospitals.
