Despite the Warning f I lie 1'nlie-d sum lrcsUleiit .Madero anl Hi Vlce-IVrsident, Who Vr ! Ntf-U Tu-dny, Vcn Mur- dert-d Saturday Night I niteu State May Have to Quiet tlie Country Arniy tiring Ivnt to the Ihirtlrr anl .Navy in Itemdi- mws Mr. Wilson Keeping I'p With the Situation. Just after midnight Saturday night the former president and vice-president of Mexico were shot while being sent in automobiles to the penitentairy. While the pres ent government of Mexico says that they were shot in an attempt to res cue them, it was no doubt a cold blooded murder. After Diaz, who is now in charge, had forced presi dent Madero to resign last Tuesday, the United States warned the new president that this country would not be pleased at any violent meas- urea against the former president unless he were given a legal trial What this country will, can or should do, or may be forced to do, to restore order and protect life and property in Mexico, no one yet knows. President Taft has Justly refused to Interfere so far, but is putting the army and navy in read iness should it become necessary Mr. Wilson is keeping close up with the situation so that he may know how to act when he becomes presi dent next Tuesday. The story of the killing of two former masters of Mexico, who had ruled the coun try for two years, is thus told: Mexico City, Feb. 23. Francisco I. Madero and Jose Pino Snares are dead. In a midnight ride under guard from the National Palace to the penitentiary they were killed. The circumstances surrounding the death of the deposed President and Vice President of the Republic are unknown, except as given in of ficial accounts, which do not In all cases conform. The only witnesses were those actually concerned in the killing. The Provisional President, Gener al Victorlano Huerta, says the kill ing of the two men was incidental to a fight between their guard and a party attempting to liberate them. The Minister of Foreign Halations, Francisco de la Barra, adds that the prisoners attempted to escape. Neither made a definite statemnt as to which side fired the fatal shots. It Is not Impossible that neither kaows. ORDERS INVESTIGATION. An official investigation has been ordered to determine the responsi bility and solemn promts s have been made that the guilty will bo punish ed. Not unnaturally a great part of the public regards the official ver sions with doubt, having In mind the use for centuries of the famous "lex fuga," the unwritten law which Is Invoked when the death of a prisoner is desired. Aft er Its application there is written on the rcords, "prisoner shot trying to escape." Senora Madero, widow of the Ex President, received the first, definite information of his death from Senor Cologany Cologun, the Spanish Min ister. She already had heard re ports of something unusual and friends had endeavored up to that time t nrevent her from learning the wl i. truth. Soon afterward, accompanied by her brother, Jose Perez and Merce des Madero, a sister of Francisco, Senora Madero drove to the peniten tiary but was refused permission to see the body of her husband. Sen ora Suarez also was denied admit tance to the mortuary, where phy sicians. In accordance with the law, were performing an autopsy. WOMEN AT PRISON. In contrast to the widow, whose grief was of a pitiably silent char acter, expressed in sobs, Mercedes Madero, a beautiful young woman, educated lu Paris, who has been a brilliant leader of society since the revolution of 1910, was dry-eyed and tigerish In her emotions. By the side of the two women whose husbands had been killed, the girl hurled accusations at the officers who barred the entrance. "Cowards!" "Assassins!" she call ed them, her voice pitched high. The officers stared Impassively. 'You! The men who fired on a defenseless man! You and your superior officers are tratlors!" No effort was made to remove the women nor did the officers at tempt to silence them. Senora Ma dero continued weeping and the girl did not cease her hysterical tirade until the arrival of the Spanish Min sister and the Japanese charge, who came to offer their services. The minister spoke with the offi cers in charge but was told that on account of the autopsy It would be impossible for any one to see the bodies. Later In the day they said the request would be complied with. The Diplomats then conducted the women away from the penitentiary. Madero's father and Rafael Her madez, former Minister of the In terior, and other friends made efforts early In the day to recover the bod lea and It was said this afternoon that the American Ambassador Hen ry Lane Wilson had Interested him self and secured the promise of Min ister de la Barra that the bodies should be delivered to their families for burial. OCCURRED AFTER MIDNIGHT. The tragedy occurred shortly after midnight. Madero and Suarez, who had been prisoners In the National Palace since their arrest on Tues day last, were placed in an automo bile which was accompanied by another car and escorted by 100 rur- ales under the orders of Command ing Officer Cardenas and Col. Raef- cl Pi mien to. With instructions not to out-dis tance the escort, the cars moved slowly. No Incident occurred un til they had reached a point near an open place the guard's attention was attracted, according to the of ficial version, to a group of persons following. Shots were fired at the escort out of the darkness. The rural e closed In and ordered the prisoners out of the car. Thirty of the guards surrounded the prisoners, while the remainder disposed themselves to resist an at tack. About fifty men, some afoot and some mounted, threw themsel ves upon the detatchment guarding the cars and the exchange of shots lasted 20 minutes, when the attack ing party fled. The dead bodies of Madero and Suarez were then found. The body of Mcdero shows only one wound. A bullet entered the back of the head and emerged at the forehead. FAMILY OF MADE 110. Of the male members of the Ma dero family only two are now In the Capital. One Is Francisco Madero the father, who bitterly opposed his son s conducting a revolution in 1910 and rode across norther Mexi co In an effort to overtake and dis suade him; the other is Ernesto Ma dero, the former minister of finance, an uncle, though only one year older than the late President. Gustavo Madero, a brother, was obliged to submit to the fugitive luw the day after the deposition of the President and was shot down in the arsenal. Senora Madero and two sisters of the ex-President, Mercedes and Angela, are tonight at the Japanese Legation. Not far from the penitentiary there are two small piles of stones some 20 feet apart. They mark the spots where the men, who a few days ago ruled Mexico, had fallen Holes In the wall of the penlten tlary show where some of the bul lets lodged. The stones were piled by groups of sympathetic persons of the lower class, whose curiosity early drew thcra to the scene. From the top of each pitiful monument tonight nickered candles, placed there aid lighted by those who thus thought to offer the last rites of the Church to the bouIs of the dead. From the ground had been scraped away blood-saturated earth which was carried off by the morbid, seek ing souvenirs. PREVIOUS EVENTS. The revolution in the City of Mex ico resulted Tuesday In the over throw of President Madero. Soon after a conference between Gen. Huerta, military commander of the Federal troops In the City of Mexi co, and Gen. Diaz, the rebel coni- tiiunder, President Madero was ar rested In the national palace by General Blanquet, bucked by his troops, and about the same time Gustavo Madero, brother of the President, was arrested in a restau rant by General Huerta. Mean while tho crowds, who hud evident ly gotten wind of what was happen- ng, ran about the streets crying vivas" for Huerta and Diaz. Apparently seeing the inevitable and wishing to save something out of the wreck, Madero made un offer to Felix Diaz to bring about the resignation of Vice-President Pino Suarez and the entire cabinet, but insisted that he himself should re main lu office. At a special session of the Mexi can Congress Wednesday night Gun. Huerta was elected provisional Pres ident. Francisco Madero, deposed from the presidency will be exiled. Arrangements were made for his departure from the capital for Vera Cruz Wednesday. From there he will sail for some European port. His loyal aid, Capt. Fredrico Mon ies, also will go but In the capacity of a guard. The party will proceed to Vera Cruz under escort. Gustavo Madero, brother of the deposed President, was executed Wednesday. He was subjected to the notorious "fugitive law" by which he was free to run under the rifle fire of his gaurds. He fell dead under their bullets. After President Madero had quar reled with Dr. Vasquez Gomez, he and his brother forced Juan Jose Saurez to the front to take the po sition of Vice President, although lie was lime known. in is was a thing Madero's enemies never for gave and was really the reason for the starting of the anti-government party, which showed sympathetic opposition to the schemes of the politician, Gustavo Madero. Alarmed by the anti-trust bills which Governor Wilson Is pushing through the New Jersey Legisla ture, the big corporal Ions charter ed in that State to do business all over the country, are preparing to move out. The American Railways Company, owner of street railway and other plants In various parts of tho country, with headquarters in Trenton. N. J., has secured a char ter In Delaware. Nearly all the big trusts of the country have bpen chartered In New Jersey on account of that State's liberal corporation laws. BONEY & HARPER'S GRITS will please you.

FOIL A ItKt.l iait S.U.F.S IY. 1 til I ltttuiriiig Mortgage Suit s to lu ll" Id 0n for Im-i-tastd Bids a SuU-tt lluy for Meiklfiihurg. Statesvllle landmark. Mr. Thomas of Anson county has a bill pending in the Legislature to provide for second sale of real es tate which Is sold by virtue of a will, in the foreclosure of mortgages of deed in trust, by an executor or other presons acting under power conferred by will. The bill pro vides that such sale shall not be deemed to be closed under ten days, and that if within this time the price shall be increased ten per cent., where the first price was $500 or less, or five per cent where the first price Is more that 500, the sale shall be reopened and only two weeks' notice of second sale given. Mr. Thomas cites an Instance where such a sale was made under the present law. Mr. A. authoriz ed Mr. H. to bid for him At the sale and fixed his limit at 92.100. Mr. B. went to the sale and to give himself plenty of margin began bid ing at $300. Nobody raised the bid, as few were present on account cf w heather conditions, and Mr. U. got the property for Mr. A. at $300 while Mr. A. had expressed his will ingness to pay $2,100 for it. Mr. Thomas seeks by his bill to provide for a second sale In such casts, and says that many a time, on account of bad weather or othor conditions that prevent the attendance cf pos sible bidders real estate Is sold at unreasonably small figures and yet nnder the present law the sale can not be re-opened, no matter how much the bid Is afterwards Imme diately raised. In commissioners' salts of real estate the law requires sales to stand open for 20 days for Increas ed bids and In case of 10 per cent bid It shall be resold. Mr. Thom as' bill should apply to all mort gage sales. Many a time, because there is a small attendance at a sale for one reason of another and nobody Is interested, a poor devil whose land goes to sale under mort gage loses his all because nobody is there to make it bring Its worth. A case In point that happened In Statesvllle. A colored man woo owned a small tract of land had mortgaged It. Another colored man offered him $125 for It. The fellow under mortgage refused, say ing the land was worth $150 and if be couldn't sell It privately for that he would let the uorugte sell it. The mortagee's claim was near $70. The land was advertised. The colored man who wanted to buy couldn't attend the sale but he tele phoned a white friend to run the land up to $125, saying that was all the money lie had. The white man attended the sale and started the land nt $70, the amount of the mortgage. Not another bid was put on and the colored man got the property hu would gladly have paid $125 for. There was many such cases and a remedy should be provided. One way is to pass Mr. Thomas' bill and apply It to ail legal sales mid anoth er is to have a regular sales day, the first Monday In each month and require all legal sales to be held on that day. The Mecklen burg Bar Association has request ed Senator Pharr of that county to Introduce in the Legislature a bill requiring all Judicial sales in Meck lenburg to be held on the first and third Mondays in each month. The Senator aequirpeed and the propos al will doubtless be enacted into law. A regular sales day would Insure a ood attendance nnd there would be little danger of property selling at one-half or one-fourth lis value for lack of purchasers. Tin: i.K;isi..TriF- Death of Mrs. Scott's Father. Polkton. Feb. 21. The sudden death of Mr. C. B. Led better at Red Springs tonight, which was due to paralysis, was a great shock to many friends and relatives In this section. He spent one day here this week on bis way home from Mississippi, his territory as sales man for Stephen Putney & Co. He was not well then, but no one ex pected the news which came tonight. Mr. Ledbetter waa do years of age and a native of this county, having moved to Red Springs eight years ago. He was a splendid citi zen. He leaves a wife and several children. His daughters, Mrs. June Gunter of Sanford, Mrs. J. A. Col- vin of Fayettevlllc, and Mrs. J. L. Scott of Monroe, reached home be fore he died: but two sons, Messrs. C. W. Ledbetter of Texas and Fred Ledbetter of Chicago, were too late. A suit has been started In he United States Supreme Court In Asheville by A. B. Freeman against the Continental Casuality Company of Chicago for $4,000 which he claims is the face value of a policy which he held when he lest his left arm In November while hunting. Mr. Freeman claims the shooting was accidental and the company is not willing to accept his testimony.

Yesterday Representative Justice, member of the Ifgislative conimhs on conferring with railroad officials rtlatvle to rellevign North Caroli na shippers from freight discrimi nations. Introduced a bill Monday to prevent exorbitant charges by rail road companies on Interstate freight to be applied under certain circum stances, being a bill designed to compel the railroads to adjust freight discriminations complained cf or accept much lower rates for interstate freighta. The bill directs the Corporation Commission to forthwith readjust in terstate freight rates so that there shall be no higher charge for a short haul within the State than the published rate for longer haul over the same shorter haul route, whether the longer haul be State or Interstate. The introduction of this bill comes on the eve of the second conference of railroad offi cials and Governor Craig and the legislative commlesicn on the freight problem Wednesday of this week, and is evidently designed to be considered in connection with this conference. Mr.Justice declares his bill is eco nomically and legally correct, and insists that his investigations as a special commisloner during the past few weeks has revealed conditions adverse to North Carolina shippers wholly Intolerable. By a vote of seventy-six to five, the. House Saturday passed on its final rending the bill by Represen tative Kellum to encourage road building In North Carolina by the State issuing Its bonds to take care of good roads bonds by the counties. There was but little serious opposi tion to the measure. The bill pro vides that, the State may issue $300, 000 In bonds semi-annually, sell these bonds at four per cent Interest and with the proceeds purchase the bonds Issued by counties for good roads construction. The county bonds are to bear five per cent in terest. The bonds are to run for ty -on ears, and It Is a mathemati cal calcination that these bonds can be issued by the counties and retired in forty-one years at five per cent In other words, the counties do not provide a sinking fund and nev er have to provide for paying the principal of the bonds the five per cent for forty-one years wipes cut the county's debt, while the Slate sells its bonds at four per cent interest. The whole propo sition dees not cent the Stale a cent, but its ncllon in the matter serves to provide $000,000 a year to lie spent in the State In go:iel road building. This is the scheme worked out by W. S. Wilson, of the State depart ment, and adopted by the North Carolina Good Roads association. The application of the measure is left optional with each county. No county can Issue Its bonds under this plan, except after an election has been held and a majority of the voles cast must favor the Issue. Such an election can not be called except upon petition of twenty-five per cent of the voters of tho county. The advocates of the meusure say there is no danger of over-taxing the State's credit, because ts fust as the State increases its liabilities It is Increasing its nssests, as it always has county bonds at five per cent as collateral to Its own bonds at four per cent. By a vote of forty-four to one, the Senate Friday passed on Its second reading the Thorne-Mnjette six months school term bill, as amended. The only dissenting vote was that of Senator Little of An son. The bill undoubtedly will pass 1st third rending today and be sent back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendment, which was offered by Senator Bryant and provides a new section under which all counties finding a need for more revenue, on account of this measure, may levy a special tax not exceeding five cents on the $100 worth of porperty. Senator Bryant had explained that the con stitution permitted the General As sembly to authorize the various counties to levy a special tax, whereas the State levy Is fixed. This amendment made many votes for the bill, and the general opin ion Is that the House will concur. After nearly two hours of discus sion, the House of Representatives Friday, by a roll call vote of 43 to 30, passed on Its second read ing the Bryant judicial reform bill to amend the Revlsal relating to the selection and challenging of Ju rors In capital felonies. The bill had passed the Senate. The bill reduces the number of peremptory challenges on the part cf the de fendant from 23 to 12, the States challenges remaining 4. The meas ure also abolishes the requirement that a man must be a free holder to be qualified to serve as a Juror in such cases and eliminates the practice on the part of the solici tor of standing ten per cent of spe cial venires at the foot of the panel. The Btstewide legalized primary bill was killed on second reading lu the House Thursday night just befere 11 o'clock, by a roll call of fifty-four to fifty-one. after an omnibus amendments exempting a fourth of the counties of the State or more from the provision of the measure had bet-u adopt d by a test vole of sixty-six to forty-three. This amendment would have defeated the purpose of the act In a large measure If the bill had become a law i:i its amended form. After the amend ment was adopted, many representa tives who had exempted thir coun ties voted for the passage of the bill, hence the small majority by which it was defeated on second reading. Another bill has been in troduced. Practically two and a half hours Thursday night were consumed in consideration of the bill, after much ot the day session had been devot ed to discussion of the measure, so that the House did little else on that day. No measure before the House during this session of the General Assembly has been more hotly con tested. The principal debate Thussday night, consisted of the closing speeches against and for the measure, by Representative Daughton and Justice, both giants among the members of the House in forensic battle. The lobbies and galleries were filled during the de bate and the proceedings afterward, and the crowds often applauded. vomx si i n:tii: di.imtks. (.eioso (ml Clan Before Lrglsla tun1. Charlotte Chronicle. Goose Creek notables, both those who have emigrated and those who are great even at home, will hold a confab in Raleigh today at such time and place bb may be agreed upon by that harmonious body in habiting the choicest part of "sweet Union." Among those present will be Johnson D. McCall, ex-mayor of Charlotte; Judge E. Little, lawyer and patriot; Dr. J. A. Austin, al dermanlc leader; R.E.Austin. Repre sentative from Albemarle, and broth er to Dr. J. A. Austin; Represen tative Plummer Stewart; and other sons of Union who have made their Impress ou the world, or who are about to do so. Much local interest has been at tracted to this gathering, all the members of which profess to be in Raleigh on general business, but who it is believed, contemplate be seeching the Legislature to rec ognize in some fitting and hand some manner the worthiness of Goose Creek, by either creating it into a new county or permitting it to become annexed with Mecklen burg, the latter to bear any contin gent expenses thereby incurred. "Goose Creek," said Mr.J.D.Mc Call before hiking out for Raleigh Sunday with Mr. J. Lee Phillips, who is also favorable to the annexa tion of Goose Creek, "has poured of her best blood Into Mecklenburg. Her sons today are busy defending the legally entangled Mecklenburg- crs, curing their slek ones, adminis tering to the spiritual wants, and even supplying the suffering lard ers of Mecklenburg high-live rs. All of these things deserve recognition and with the moral support of many good Mecklenburg people, we be lieve that Goose Creek sons will be hie to secure that recognition be fore the General Assembly to which their splendid records entlttl them at the hands of a Justice-loving and God-fearing race of men whose an cestors cut tho British yoke from their necks with one stroke of the pen, followed up by more warlike work when the time came for it. Mr. Little, who is a likely son of Goose Creek, refused to say fur ther than that the gathering of Goose Creekets In the capital today was to consider ways nnd means for the fuller and more universal rec ognition of that fair Eden which has supplied so many notable emigrants into the Canaan of Mecklenburg. The two sections, de clared Mr. Little, are indlssolubly Joined, nnd the claim of the Goose Creek hall of fame clan for cither separate incorporation or annextlon to Mecklenburg, should receive the enthusiastic support of Mecklenburg people. "While Goose Creek," add ed Mr. Little, "was not present at the signing of the Declaration In Charlottetown, her forbears fought at Hastings, on the field ofCulloden and later at King's Mountain, and In Goose Creek's history there Is no flaw." "The Seine, the blue Danube or the popular Thames," declared Mr. Little, "will be but historic memo ries when Goose Creek shall be in her flower and her sons have come into their own, which includes the domination of all Mecklenburg, tp whom we would at present be an nexed, asking no more Just at this time." Tiding from the Goose Creek siege and at larks upon Raleigh and the Legislature will be awaited in Meck lenburg with Interest. "But what I want to know, said a citizen, "is how I,ee Phillips got In that crowd. Has he been among us so long and we didn't know he was from Goose Creek? It Is not like the kind to be thus silent."

Friday nUht while the debate waa in progress at the graded school be tween the boys from Monroe and Sanford the same question was being debated at ninety other points in the State "Resolved, That the constitution of North Carolina should be amended so as to permit women to vote on the same terms as men." While we have no full report from all over the State, the general Impression is that the affirmative won many more debates than the negative. Does this mean that sentiment for weman suffrage is gaining ground in North Carolina? Already there is much more senti ment for it than one would suppose. In the debate here the Monroe boys. Messrs Eugene Presson and Willie Stevens, covered themselves with glory and won the question in behalf of women. Our boys, Messrs. Ware Pointer and Bernard Crow ell, who debated at Mt. Pleasant, had the negative and lost. News comes from there that the boys made fine speeches and acquitted themselves well, but could not stand against the sentiment and argument of the oth er side. Here the Sanford boys, Messrs Demmick and Cunningham, made good speeches, and in announc ing the decision for the coin mil tee ol judges. Dr. Weaver said that it was mighty near a tie. The ease and skill of Messrs Pres son and Stevens was wonderful for boys of their ages and they handled the argument like veterans. Before the debate began, Misses Flowers and Leake, with violin and piano render ed some fine music for the enjoy ment of the large audience. The Sanford boys were accompanied by their principal, Mr. Foreman, and Prof. Hendly accompanied our boys to Mt. Pleasant. Monroe, Sanford and Mt. Pleasant compose one of the triangles ot the debating batteries organized by the literary societies of the University of North Carolina in a contest for the Aycock Memorial cup. All over the State three schools are thus group ed together and every school that wins both of the debates will send its team to the University to engage in the final debates. While the debate was in progress here botween Sanford and Monroe, another San ford team was debating wiih a Mt. Pleasant team at the former place and the other Mt. Pleasant team debating with the other Monroe boys on the former's forum. At Chapel Hill the tetania that won both debates Friday night will contest and from the best, two will be chos en to engage in the final debate on March "th.
