This Includes citi zens and foreign residents as, well as soldiers. The Maderistas were by iar the heaviest losers. Diaz lost prob ably SO killed and 200 wounded.

PRESIDENT-ELECT MRS VIEWS Ha Declares, In Referring to the Tariff, That the Matter of Major Importance la Getting the Grip of Special Interests Off tha Throat of Congress Oyster. Bay Statesman's Plan of Benevolent Justice Spurned. New York, Feb. 17, Woodrow Wil ton's latest book, "The New Free dom," appears today with the first message ever delivered to the Ameri can people by a president-elect on ths evo ot his Inauguration. It is an avowal of faith and a declaration ot Intention on the part of the man who, In two weeks, will be the, first Demo cratic chief executive the country will have had in 1C years. One of the most Interesting chap ters deals with the program of Col onel Theodore Roosevelt and tils Progressive followers, and Mr. Wilson analyzes it carefully and concludes that the basis of the Roosevelt plan is the recognition and legalization ot monopoly, which It proposes to con vert into benevolence and philanthro py. Ho declares that "you can not use monopoly In order to serve a free people," and warns Progressives Re publicans that they are being deluded. Mr.iWllson's great faith In his coun trymen to solve the problems which confront them Is shown in the final words of his chapter on "Life Comes From the Soli." "The great Ameri can people;" says Mr. Wilson, "is at bottom Just, virtuous and hopeful, the Toots of- its- being, are In tho soilof what is lovely, pure and of good re port, and the need of the hour is Just that radicalism that will clear, a way for tho realization ot the aspirations of a sturdy race." Concerning his doctrine ot publicity to which ho referred In many of his campaign speeches, this quotation from Mr. Wilson's book Is typical: "Publicity Is one of the purifying elements of politics. The best thing that you can do with anything that Is crooked Is to lift It up where people can see thnt It Is crooked, and then It will cither straighten itself out or disappear. Nothing checks all the bad practices of politics like public exposure. You can't be crooked in tho llsht." Getting down to brass tacks on the subject of the tariff, Mr. Wilson de clares: Tariff and Trusts. "What we are Interested In first of all with regard to tho tariff is setting the grip of special interests off the throat of congress. We do not pro pose that special Interests shall any longer camp In the rooms of the com mittee, on ways and means of the bouse and tho llnuuce committee ot the senate. We mean that those shall be places whore tho people of the United States shall come and bo rep resentd In order that everything may be done In the general Interest and not In the Interest ot particular groups of persons who already domi nate the industries and the industrial development of this country." In dealing with the Roosevelt pro gram under "benevolence or Justice," Mr. Wilson lashes the plan and de clares that tho doctrine that "monop oly Is Inevitable and that the only course open to tho people of tho Unit ed States Is to submit to and regulate It" found a champion during the cam paign ot 1012 In the new party or branch 6f the Republican party found ed under the leadership ot Mr. Roose velt, with tho conspicuous aid of George W. Perkins, organizer of tho steel trust and the harvester trust." Speaking of the platform, Mr. Wil son continues: "It did not condemn monopoly ex cept in words; its essential meaning was that the trusts have been bad and must bo mado good. The fundamen tal part of such a program is that the trusts shall be recognized as a per manent part of our economic order, and that the government shall try to make trusts tho ministers, tho instru mens through which the life ot thta country shall be Justly and happily developed on Its Industrial side. Now everything that touches our lives sooner or later goes back to the in dustries which sustain our; lives. I do not want to live under a philan thropy. I do not want to be takou caro of by tho government, either di rectly or by any instruments through which tho government Is acting, I want only to have right and Justice."

SEEKS SOLUTION OF TANGLE President Carter of the Brotherhood Intimates Sharp Practices In Dial ings Between the Railroads and Locomotive Engineers Considers. Vie Award In the Case a Mlrth-Pro-voker Latest Developments. New York, Feb. 17. Judge Martln A. Knapp of the interetato commerce eoart, who with Acting United SUtes. Labor Commissioner G. W. Hangar Is. tryiag by mediation to avert the threatened strike of the firemen on the eastern railroads, returned to this city and continued his efforts to bring about a peaceful solution of tho tan gle. The strike ordej, which was. to have been sen out at midnight on Friday to go Into effect at midnight; Sunday, Is still held In abeyance. Commissioner Hangar said that they had not yet given up nope. Hn declared that Judge Knapp did not go to Washington for tho purposo ot talking to any government officials on the strike situation. At tho conclusion ct a meeting of the firemen's organization here, Pres ident, Carter of ,the, Drotherhood of Locomotive 'Firemen and Enginemcn: gave but the following statement: "With rejeard to the published state-, saents by the railroad companies,, wherein it is said that the engineers, are satisfied and have been benefttedc by arbitration under railroads' plan, and the railroads have paid one mil lion dollars in back pay, etc., I am advised by Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of locomotive Engineers that, while it has been 10 months since they agreed to arbitrate and seven months since the hearings were closed and given to the arbitra tion board for a decision, the award ot that hoard has not been put in ef fect, except qn one railroad, and it has been found necessary to request the engineers' arbitration board to again meet and finally decide what, they really did mean by the award that they handed down. This should convince all of the deception belmt practiced upon tho public through the statements that arc being sent out by telegraphic news agencies throughout the country, wherein It Is represented that great sums of money have been, paid to the engineers because of their award." He supplemented this by saying that both the ctdnecrs and tho rail roads could find something to laugh at in tho award In '.ho cane of the on gincers. The latctr would not hav. agreed to that kind ot arbitration, he said, If they hod been able to guess. at Its outVonie. "nut." he continued, 'having agreed to abldo by tho result ot the awnrd, they accepted thelv medicine like good sports, without grumbling." , Kllsba Lee, chairman of the confer ence committee ot the railroads, said after the meeting of the committee that the railroads had no statement to make pending tho conference with the two government mediators today.
