LV—NO. 68 PRICE TWO CENTS 'MADERQ SHOT IN NATIONAL PALACE Mexico City Publisher Also Decléres Vice President Suarez Was Strangled to Death BODIES REMOVED TO THE PRISON IN AN AUTO Recent Arrival at San Francisco Gives Radically Different Version of Their Deaths From That Furnished by Huerta - Regime—Declares He Can Prove Story With Papers Smuggled Across Border—Criticises Ambassador Wilson San Francisco, March 20.—Colonel Manuel Blanche Alcade, publisher of the New Era, a Mexico City newspaper &enerally regarded as the mouthpiece of the late President Madero’s admin- istration, arrived here today with the assertion that he is “in a position to prove” that Madero was shot to death and that Vice President Suarez ‘was strangied in the national palace on the night of February 23 and their bodies taken to the prison in an au- tomobile. Fingermarks on Suarez’s Throat. Colonel Alcalde asserted the news of Madero's fate was known in Washing- ton before the hour named in the offi- cial version as the time of the allegsd Rttempt to rescue him. “As a matter of fact,” eaid he, “President Madero and Vice President Buarez were killed between § and 9.50 o'clock, Mexico City time, on the night of Feb. 22. The president was shot from behind and the powder burned bis neck. Suarez was choked to death. His secretary, Fernandez de la Regue- ra, saw the body two days later and here were fingermarks on the throac. One eye had been forced from its socket and the tongue protruded.” Ambassador Wilson Gave No Encour- agement. Coloneil Alcalde was positive in his essertion that Madame Madero had told him there was no hope for her husband, basing this fear on an inter- view she had with American Ambas- sador Wilson on the afternoon of Feb. 22, “Madame Madero and Madame Fuarez went together to the ambas- gador to implore him to intercede for their husbands’ lives,” he said. “I saw them when they left the embassy and they told me there was no hope. They #ald Ambassador Wilson had expres: ed to them his belief that the presi- dent and vice preeident would be exe- guted, as the Huertaistas regarded their deaths as necessary for the good ot the country. Bitter Criticism of Wilson. “General Ascarade was in command of the guard that night. I was told by gnother officer of the guard that 1t was Be_who slew Madero and Suarez” Bitter in his critieism of Ambassa- $or Wilson, Colomel Alcalde declared the American diplomat had declined to Intercede to save him from arrest anl death. “I had protected fifteen Amertcan families in my school, the Internado Naclonal,” said he, “where 1 com- manded ‘300 soldiers, feeding the Americans and housing them during all the fighting from Feb. 9 to, 18. After the Huerta coup, fearing arrest and execution, I went to the ambassador and appealed for his aid, in return for my protection of his people. He told me at first he could do nothing. Final- Iy he asked me to write my name on a card ‘with that of my brother. Caused Order for His Arrest. “Soon afterward a friend of mine rushed to me with the informaticn that the American ambassador had given a card on which were the names of my brothers and myself to Secre- tary of the Interior Granados and the latter had immediately issued orders for our arrest. This friend had over- heard part of a conversation between the ambassador and Granados in which he said the ambassador had said that my brother and I were In fear of arrest. Granados replied that we had escaped his attention, but h> would attend to our cases at once, and the order of arrest was issued. Escaped in Disguise. “My friend hastened to me, gave ms his purse and urged me to flee.- I left Mexico City disguised as a track la- borer at 10 o'clock that night. My wife and bables were dinguised Thanks to a friendly train conductor, Wwe made our way to Salina Cruz and embarked for San Francisco.” Colonel ~Alcalde says Mexico will know no peace for years. To Prove Charges With Papers. “Diaz wants to be president,” he as- serted, “but Huerta will never quit the palace until he is driven out by successful revolutionists. He _telis Diaz there will be no election until he has restored peace throughout the country. Huerta has not the slighte: intention of carrying out his pact with Diaz and the other consplrators.” Alcalde asserts that papers that had been smuggled over Mexico prove his charges. These papers will reach him at Los Angeles, for which city he left tonight. WILSON QUITS THE STATE DEPARTMENT. Resents Action of Administration /on Chin Loan. Washington, March 20—Hunt!ngton Mvilson, assistant and acting secrefary ©of state, who is regarded as the real tron, if mot the inventor, of the nox “Dollar Diplomacy,” this morn- ing followed that repudiated doctrine out of the White House window. The episode was merked by a celerity sug- gesting doubt as to “whether he fell or was pushed.” ‘Twas neither, he Jumped. In a 900-word letter insisting upon the immediate acceptance of his res- sgmation, he makes no secret of his Tetirement at the fact that the admin- istration disowned his “pet baby.” without consulting him, and “with such quite uhnecessary haste and in S0 unusual a manner.” ~Also, he puts forth an explanation or an argument for the position taken by the last ad- ministration in the matter of the Chinese loan negotiations, which not only shows clearly that he was in sympathy with that position; but bears unmistakable internal evidence that his hand was potent, if not con- trolling, in_the formulafing of the policy abandoned without his leave. He, Protests vigorously against the man- jer in which the president's policy was arrived at, and especially against its having reached him first through the newspapers. President Wilson accepted the res- fgnation in a curt letter. METHODIST MINISTER z SEEKS A VINDICATION Investigation of Immorality Charge Be- gun at His Reguest vewark, N.

She came home crying and with her waist torn.” Another letter, written to the mayor last March by one Henry Wlliams, asked that Becker be investigated. “He | is getting more money than a former chief of police” the writer said, nam- ing the chief. This missive was sent by Mayor Gaynor to police headquar- ters; there it was turned over to Beck- er himself, the record showed, “for in- Vestigation and report.” Becker's report was that after in- vestigation he feared the writer could not be found and suggested that some other member of the force be assign- ed to the task.

New York, March 20.—The Greek newspaper Atlantis will - publish _to- morrow a letter from a Greek in this clty, which the editors of the paper be- lieve cohtains reliable Information concerning Aleko Schinas, the assassin of King George.

He has & brother in Volo namea Hercales Schinas, who has a chemist's shop there. There the assnssin worked as assistant. As 1t oft- en happens with brothers, they had a quarrel, and Aleko came to America. Here he could not stand the heavy work and returned to Greece. The statement that he was the founder of & school of anarchism or wes a cand date for the boule (chamber of de) ties) 1s entirely untrue, because he was entirely reticent and all he did was to g0 from the chemist's shop to a coffée house and back. He had no friends in Volo. It was George Schinas who was a candidate for the boule. The latter i5 a native of Argulastis. I know him quite well.

One woman wrote: “I am representing thousands upon thousands of unfortunate girls that are without homes; some are work- ing for starvation wages; some are selling their_souls to keep off starva- tion and cold. These women are much like other women, where all grades are to pe found in their ranks, some good, sdme bad and others very bad.

Hartford, Conn, Mareh 20.—The democratic' majority in the senate to- day took issue with Governor Baldwin today declaring {n cancus that it wonld not confirm William H. Corbin as tax commissioner. The refection of Mr. Corbin's name in the party caticus was due to_the belief of the democrats that they should have the name of a dem- ocrat sent to them by the democratic governor. The caucus brought out a Vigorous exchange of opinions in which it is sald that several members declareq that after fighting a_polit- ical battle the party was entitled to all the fruits of victory. Vote Was 10 to 8. The committee on executive nomina- tions will report to the senate next Tuesday and at that time it is be- licved that Senator Isbell, republican, and Landers, democrat, will be the only signers of a favorable report. Un- like the caucus on the Cadweil nom- ination a vote was taken today which in effeci, bound all the democrats to abide by the will of the majority. On the test vote, on Mr. Corbin’s name, the vote stood 10 to 8 against the nom- ination, the vote on applying the unit rule wds 15 to 3. Those in the minor- ity were Senators Miner, F. A. John- son and McNeil, all of whom an- nounced that they would stand by the caucus. Senator Landers will not, it is understood.

BRIBERY INVESTIGATION. Hurley Admits Having Grievance Against Commissioner MacDonald. Hartford, Conn, March 20.—The Hurley bribery investigation was re- sumed this afternoon by the senatorial committee and Senator Hurley re- called to verify and clear up some things in his testimony previously glven. Senator Isbell did the ques- tioning. Practically nothing new re- lating to bribery was brought out. Mr. Hurley said that the two meet- ings with John A. Judge in the cap- itol were prior to the boxing exhibi- tion at Mulligan.’s which he attended ‘with Phil Brady and Judge. The first time he saw Judge at the capitol, the latter was on the second floor at the head of the stairs and Judge asked him if he could find his way ciear to support Mr. MacDonald. Senator Hur- ley told him he could not. The second time he saw Judge was outside the senate door when the alleged bribe was offered. Senator Isbell tried to have Senator Hurley give the exact words used by Judge in offering the three hundred dollars. The best Mr. Hurley could recollect were these words: “Would not $300 pay you to be absent on the day when Cadwell’s name comes in?" Mr. Isbell tried to find out if Judge said “T” or “we.” Mr. Hurley said he was sure that Mr. Judge had sald “Would not $300 pay you,” and not ;’Sz'oe will pay you,” or “I will pay you Senator Murley was asked if he had anvthing more to give regarding the case, and he said nothing except that a card bearing Mr. Judge's name had been 1eft on the telephone, and on the “Call me up at the Elton.” Mr. Hurley said he had not seen Judge since the boxins_exhibition. Mr. Isbell asied him if he had ever had any trouble with Commissioner MacDonald. He replieq that he had not, but had once asked him to do a favor. A friend named Stevens, who was selling brick, asked him to see MacDonald. The latter said he liked who_were seling it. Mr. Isbell asked Mr. Hurley if he had any feeling about 1t, and the senator replied that he did. as he felt that the commissioner had not treated him right because he could have given lils friend “a job.” "This probably closes the hearing. Workingmen’s Compensation. Hartford, Conn., March 20.—The hearing on workingmen's compensation closed this afternoon with a lively dis- cussion on insurance and much oppo- sition on the part of liability insurance companies to the plan in the Danaher Dill for state insurance.

Police dogs have not justified the ex- travagant claims that were made for them when they were introduced into the German police service.

These llmitations have been recent- ly admitted by police officers in charge | of the training of the dogs. The sen- tence of an alleged murderer was re- duced from life to ten years' imprison- ment at a recent retrial in Frankfort- on-the-Oder, owing to the testimony of a Berlin police lieutenant discredit- ing police dogs which had followed the man from the scene of the murder, and now comes Lieutenant Most, in charge of the police dog tralning institute for Berlin, with the statment that the ani- m: are absolutely dependable only as defenders of the officer with whom they are working. The best of dogs, declares Lieuten- ant Most, is likely to abandon a crimi- nal’s trail for the fresher trall of some third person crossing it. The animal’s scent depends also in no small degree on his mood and condition of health. The likelihood of police dogs failing when put to the most important tests i8, of course, a serious limitation of thelr usefulness.
