Mexico City, Feb. 2t. -Francisco
Madero's fate lost first place In the
Interest of the Mexican populace to
day because of the more pressing con
cern as to the extent to which Mexico
Is yet In a. condition of revolution. In
splto of the termination or hostilities
in the capital and the establishment
of a new administration, there are In
dications of widespread trouble In
other sections of the country. ,
The disposition of the deposed pres
ident and vice president had not been
settled thlB morning and was still the
cause of some anxiety but this was re
garded In many quarters as of little
consequence to the nation compared
with the problem presented by the
existing rebel forces and the prospec
tive Insurreetos.
May Kpare Madero's Ute.
In view of General Huerta's per
sonal assurance to Senora Madero
that her husband would not be killed,
it was believed that some human
measure will be devised for his elim
ination from public life. It is prob
able that this point will be discussed
at the first meeting of the cabinet and j
also In congress, which was reconven
ed In ordinary session today.
General Pascual Orozco, according
to dispatches from Chihuahua, yesterday-conferred
at Palomoa with David
De La Fuente, who has been chosen
from the rebel list as a cabinet minis
ter. Orozco will accompany-Snor De
La Fnente Yd' the federal capital In
order personally to express his alle
giance to the new government. ,
- General Agulllar and Colonel De La
Llave, who have been In rebellion In
the south, are reported to be In accord
with the new administration.
On the other hand there has been
no Intimation from Zapata nor from
the elusive Oenev de la O,. of their
conformity with the new order - of
things. . ' ' .'

Huerta Notified that the Unit
ed States Will "Seriously
Object!' to His Execu- .
tion.
By Assclated Pcpbs. ,
Washington, Feb, 21.Franclsco 'I.
Madero, deposed president of Mexico,
will not be railroaded to Jail, thrown
into a madhouse or summarily exe--cuted
by Provisional President Huer
ta, according to reports today from
Ambassador Wilson. Madero, the am
bassador reports, will be given a fuir
trial and possibly the worst fate that
will await him will be exile. - . .
Secretary Knox, with the approval
of President, Tatt, had Instructed Am
bassador Wilson to convey to Huerta,
In diplomatic terms,' the intimation
that the United States would serious
ly object to a summary execution or
sentence of .Madero.
. It was not felt here that the for
mer president should be slaughtered
or put out of theway for crimes which
seemed purely political, without a fair
and open trial. This view was made
plain to Huerta and the fact was not
concealed that the United States look
ed, with disfavor upon the shooting of
Gustavo Madero. ; . ,
The administration's attitude to'
ward the provisional government in
Mexico was discussed at today's cabi
net meeting. v President Taft and Mr.
Knox never believed that Madero was
not a strong president for a republic
sown with revolution. They have be
lieved, however, that he displayed
many humane traits and that he was
entitled to a hearing. They' have no
particular Interest other thah that of
humanity, in what is done with him,
If tt Is done 1 legal fashion.' -.

tells them they have more books than
but he will not swap for any of
them, and that he would not waste
any time passing a law that Is not
founded on the Bible.- Senators Mason
and Parsons made an 'attempt to em
barrass and confuse the man from
Scotland : by asking if he knew the
rate of interest that was allowed in
Biblical times and what rate was re
garded as usury. They explained that
the Jews were not allowed to charge
Interest at all and that any rate
charged by them was usury, and came
nder the condemnation of the lan
guage quoted. Senator McLean re
gards the six per cent rate allowed by
our law aa Just as sacred as the terms
arranged for the transaction of busi
ness In the days when the Bible doc
trine was formulated. There seems to
have been a contention that the law
fixing a legal rate of Interest Is being
violated in this state, and a bill came
up that was designed to draw the lines
tighter and restrict those who may
have usurious Intent, It was to the
support of that bill that the senator
from Scitlahd brought his book and
made his speech. It appears, however.
that the sinners were In the majority
today, for the bill waa lost on a roll

Power to FiE Vancles Vested
in General Conference of
Church Declares the
Court, v
, By Associated Press.
1 Nashville, Tenn., ; Feb. 21. Chan
cellor John Allison today handed
down his decision In the Vanderbilt
university ease, invovllng the right of
the board of trustees to elect Its own
members. The decision was a sweep
ing one, In fuvor of the college of
bishops of the Southern Methodist,
church as agiiiimr the board of trus
tee's claim. .
The chancellor's finding briefly -follows:
;: ... ;,-
That the original character was
granted to representatives of various
annual Methodist conferences.
That Vanderbilt university was
founded by the Southern Methotiist
church and "is now being largely
maintained and patronized by said
church in the true sense:" .
That the corporation brought Into
existence by agents' of the original
patronizing conferences simply holds
its title to the university and its
property In trust . . --
. That the board of trustees of the
University were never and are not
members of the corporation , and do
not hold and never have held the
right to elect persons to fill vacancies
on the board. V 1
That the annual conferences hav
ing created the board of trustees, the
right to fill vacancies in "the crea
ture" was vested alone in the crea
iaiy.the annual conference, which by
appropriate actlort " transferred the
right ...to-- the general conferences,
which In the exercise- of that right
elected N. E. Harris of Macon, Ga.;
A. W. Biggs of Memphis, and V. A.
Godbey of Austin, Tex, to the board of
the Ashevllle conference in 1910 and
who are entitled to their seats.
' That the college . of bishiop con
stitute a board ot supervision of the
university and have the right Joint-
Is with the board to elect officers and
professors and prescribe the course
of study and plan of government
That "Commodore" Cornelius Van
derbilt did not Impose any conditions
or reserve any of the rights or privl-
legea Prior to 1910 vacancies on the
board had been filled by the board, the
annual conference and later the gen
eral conference through the board of
education. The board of trust al
leges this waa a voluntary concessoln
on Ita part, to maintain intimate rela
tions with the church. The position
of the bishops is that the church es
tablished and is maintaining and pat
ronizing the university of a "founder
in making his gifts to the university.
The court In this connection paid a
handsome tribute to. Commodore. Van
derbilt for his unselfish philanthropy.
