The im pression was gained that Mr. Madero was going to California for a rest, and only within 24 hours has it become known that he came to ew York, in stead, the Herald asserts. It is com monly reported here that Mr. Madero came east to impress certain business men having large Interests in northern Mexico of the necessity of continuing their financial support of the revolu tion.

I derstood. that it would be folly to contradict it, the Herald says. Where this money came from has also been guessed with a fair degree of accuracy, although in the absence of specific proof, the names of contributing firms and individuals cannot be mentioned. Through the medium of forced loans, confiscation, excessive war taxes and concessions, lzrge sums of money for the support of the revolution In the stte of Chihuahua have been raised by Villa and his agents, but the money represented by this source of supply accounts for a very small part of the money which has been expended on ilia's army. Congrcnnlonnl Probe Suggested. Nothing short of a congressional ln vetigaticn, to embrace all "Constitu tionalist" sources of revenue, in the United States, during the past year will unearth the specific facts with names of donors and amounts of contribu tions. Relations between the big business interests of the state of Chihuahua and Villa still appear to be cordial. Under guarantees from Villa, the American Smelting and Refining company Is pre paring to reopen its plants. Every fa cility of the railroads Is being placed at its disposal for the transportation of coal, dynamite and machinery neces sary for the operation of the mining and smelting plants, and within a week It is exnected business will be hum ming again.

Unusual protection is being afforded the Pearson Interest, not only along the lines of their railroads, but also at Madera and Pearson, where the great lumber plant and mills are loca ted. That relations between Pearson officials and "ConstitutlonaHjsts" are very cordial is Indicated by the fact that the private car of the corporation, which fs only used by rule by the high est officials, is now at the disposal of rebel leaders at all times. In several recent trips between Juarez and Chi huahua, the car was used bv Gen. Pi del Avila, governor of the state, and Federico Gonzalez Garza, Villa's po litical adviser.

The Giving of Concessions. An Interesting side light on the money raising methods under Villa, and one which has provoked harsh criti cism from Carranclstas and was one of the causes of the difference be tween Carranza and Villa, is found In the matter of concesions In the same proportion that he is relentless in his treatment of h's enemies Villa is gen erous in the treatment of his friends.
