HARRELL Special Agent Stanley Company There is a Reason The Fato of Madoro Is Yet Undecided Mexico City, I'eb. 20. That Francisco Madero will yet out of Mexico without having to face official investigations for -one thing or another now appears im probable. He alerady has been charged with responsibility for the death of Colonel Kiveroll, whom he is alleged to have shot at the time of bis arrest in the palace. A committee of deputies now lias asked that Madero be forced to account for money expended by the administration. This com mittee called on President Huer ta this afternoon ami urged that Madero be held accountable for the depleted condition of the treasury. The last details of the organiz 'ion of Mexico's new govern ment were cmivplctcd .'it 4 o'clock this altenioon. when members of President I Inerta's official famih t"..k the oath in the yellow room of the palace, immediately above tl'.at occupied by the deposed pioiilent and vice-president. Fallen President Dejected Although unable to witness the scenes frum their room,' Madero and Snare cou'd hear plaudits of the crowds in the sheets .ml in the big i j nn rw in front and the bugle call- of the united annv. Sigtiilicant of the birth of the v.c.v administration was the frank display of soldiers, and the effect J "11 the crowds was not lost. It served as a reminder that even if it was not a military dic tatorship that had been establish ed, the present administration was ,,f much sterner ouality than: that which had just fallen. j (ieneral l'elix Diaz wa among those in the yellow room when : ihe ministers took the oath and ministers heard pronounced the formal lime honored phrase: "If yoii l-eep this oath, the country will reward voii : if you don't, it will call yon to an accounting." Cencral I iaz w as present os tensibly in no official capacity, but merely as a private citizen, which he became many months ago on resigning his commission as a general in the regular army. Madero and Pino Snare be trayed in their faces the chagrin and humiliation which they must have felt, aeocrding to officers of the guard. Neither deigned to ask ipiestioiis as to what was happening in the room above but the conesrvatiou of the guar?T served to acipiaint them with ttit proceedings. A sneer showed on the 'face of Madero but the dejec tion o the former vice-presuient was too great apparently to per mit a play of other emotions. I'ederico (ionales (iar. the former eovernor of the federal district, is the third prisoner oc cupying the room. 1 here is on partition. Fach man is furnished with a bed and meals are brought periodically and served jointly Madero has ceased to refuse food and so far as personal comfort is concerned he no longer resists efforts in that direction. Outside the rooms stands a guard of soldiers and although there are no windows' in , the room another guard is constantly o iidufy within, even during the sleeping hours. MOTHER GOOSE IN HIGH POINT The part rehearsals and the musical practices for Mother (loose are enthusiastic meetings.

The joint committee on agriculture yester day afternoon voted to report favorably the bill to allow the de partment of agriculture to erect out of its own funds a building to cost Si 50.000. The advocates ol the bill had a mighty goo. I argu ment, because the present build ing, which houses the depart ment, the museum and the offices of the corporation commission, is nothing short of a fire-trap. The agricultural department would not ask the state to en I .1 single penny towards the build ing, but the hoard would arrange to borpuv and repay the in nev out of its own funds. It is be lie, ed that the legislature will au thorize the cousin, lion (, the building.

BIG IMPROVEMENT There has been much improve meiit along the car line on Mast Creen street. Many new house are being erected. Suit hemoved The suit of Y. 1.. I.loyd again.- the Southren Railway for the sum of S)o.(xx) damages for injurie vesterday was .removed from the tittill'ord county Superior court to the United States court where it vv ill come 011 for trial probably at the next term. The rem vii was made after a lengthy argu ment bv counsel, and upon a mo lion by attorneys for the defense that the case be so removed. A .previous' effort to have the case removed had failed because ot the North Carolina Railroad hein joined with the Southern in the defense, this fact having been considered as sufficient to h' the case in the tower court. Mr. I.loyd was suing under the federal law of employer's liabil ity, an act wihch precludes any plea of contributory negligence of the employe when he is fight ing for a judgment for damages. and contributory negligence can only be shown in determining what the amount of damage shall be. The injuries were re ceived on a sidetrack of the Southern, and not on the N"rth Carolina, trackage leased to the Southern, and Wednesday after noon counsel for the plaintiff took a non-suit in so far as the North Carolina railroad was con ccrned. (Irecnshoro News. THE NEW SCHOOL LAW ( New ton Knterprise. ) The Committee 011 Education in the House has made a favor able report by unanimous vote o the Joyner bill intended to pro vide six-months schools in all dis tricts in North Carolina. The plan of raising the money, as we understand it. is about as follows: The $100,000 from the S:ate treasury which has 'heretofore been apportioned' to counties needing assistance in providing four months schools and another S.'.vixx) will be added to the first S1J3.000 and the total ..8250,000 will be divided among the coun ties' on a per capita basis. After this 'distribution, all counties which have not sufficient funds for four-months schools will have to raise the reipiired amount by special taxes, before they can par ticipate in the -division' of the fund to be porvided for increasing the schools- to six-months terms. This fund will be raised by set ting apart 5 cents of the taxes on the S100 from the State taxes, and this fund is estimated at ?,l"o.oo6. It will be divided among the counties on the basis of teachers' salaries. Conpulsory attendance will be recpiired for four niotiihs, the county school hoards desig (Continued lo page 4) 1 Valuable Quarry Local Briefs J. R. Welch left today for a 'outness trip.

Md.. was at the Hotel Rennen yesterday. "1 was recently talking with a busienss man from North Caro lina, who has' large interetss in the lumber trade in the old North Siate." said Mr. 1 irier. "lie told me that he had looked into the business situation through the South since the presidential elec tion and there seemed to be a great deal of unrest everywhere. The Democrats in the South are a little afraid of Mr. W ilson. They don't know what he is go ing to do. Men who have money to invest are holding back until after the inauguration. Mr. Wil son cannot hurt the business o' the country vcrv much, lor the uisiness men will stand togethe'- and protect their interests if what he says is true he will fol low as far as possible alonj the nes laid down by the Republi can party. I am positive thai lie will not he so unwise as to recom mend any radical changes in the tariff. "On the Eastern Shore of Maryland the business men have felt the election to a slight de gree, but business has 11m been hurt very much. There is a feeling of unrest, and if will con tinue until it is known definitely that Mr, Wilson and the Demo cratic party have planned to do. I'hcrc is bound to be trouble j it the ranks of the Democratic par ty, but no one can tell just how much trouble there will be until after Mr. Wilson becomes Presi- lent." llaltimore American. Just such talk as the above of ten causes trouble ill business cir cles. There is 'not the slightest foundation for such talk. The South is in better condition and more 'hopeful for larger develop ments than ever in its history. Wilson is an inspiration along with it all. Located Is Near the City Parties here yesterday obtain ed options on land miles from the city on which is located very valuable granite bed" in the opin ion of those who made an inspec tion oi it. A sample of the rock was carried away by a specialist who expects to return here soon and lake up the options. I he granite is of the very be-t ipialitv and cuts ,,ng like the Mt. Airy granite. The gentlemen . ' ...-til who are at tlie neail ol tne neve oiinieul are vcrv enthusiastic over their discovery and if the plans are carried out will mean a great deal to this section as it wilf he worked on' a large scale. The granite beds are located be tween I ligh Point and Jamestown and accessible to both railroad and cotintv road.
