NO, 136 Wilson RIOTING IN CAPITAL CROWDS GATHER THREATENING TO STORM THE PALACE AND HANG DIAZ TWENTY-FIVE ARE DEAD Mexico City, May 23. General Figueroa is camped 40 miles away, and " the revolutionary leaders are urging his to capture the capital and orevent looting. If he goes in he will doubtless take charge of the gov ernment. Puebla, the capital of that state, has been captured by the" revolution ists. Havana, May 25. Gen. Reyes re ceived a dispatch from Edela Barra asking him to come and help restore order. Reyes said he would not re spond unless the call was approved by Madero. : Mexico City, May 25. The provi sional government assumes charges this afternoon. Dela Barra announces the resigna tion or Diaz and Corral. The casualties in the riots are 27 dead and forty injured. Mexico City, May 25 Troops are trying to restore order after a night's rioting. Crowds are still gathering threaten ing to storm the palance and hang President Diaz. ' Martial law has been proclaimed. General- Cosia is in command. There are twenty-five dead. ; Until nine o'clock last night the mob encountered no opposition and apparently little restriction was ne cessary. Shouting vivas for Madero, tkey paraded the streets, but always in an orderly fashion, except for the noise. Occasional instances of van dalism were immediately condemned by the thousands of marching men wbo joined in shouts of "order, or der." .: After that an attempt was made to restore order when the rioting be- oame more general. Notwithstanding the official signing of the peace pact, the Mexican capital is more nearly isolated than it has been since hostilities began. Ignorant, apparently that their commander-in-chief has brought the war to a close, one small band of rebels under the leadership of Candido . Navarro last night cut the national railroad south of San Luis Potosi and another band stopped traffic over the Mexican rail road by burning a bridge near Hua manitia. i The only line operated out of Mexico City is the inter-oceanic, a narrow gauge railroad extending to Vera Cruz. The land wires, which connect the capital witlr'the cable at Vera Cruz, have also been cut again. Just when Diaz will leave Mexico for France is not generally known, bu-t it is certain not many days will elapse between his resignation and -jais departure. With him will go his entire family, including his son. To -ay the French legation asked its gov eminent to place cruiser at the Gen eral's disposition. . ' Last night adherents of Francisco L Madero, Jr., discussed at a public meeting the character of. reception they would tender their chief on his arrival in the capital. It is certain that his entry will be brilliant. A From Tampico pomes the news that Samuel Hedy, an American, was kill ed at the Hacierjja, Los Plantos, near Valle De Ario. His body was muti lated. Americans there have report ed the case to Washington. Taft Will Attend Reunion. Washington, May. 25.

When the citizens of Wilson pre sented the Christian church with a property worth $40,000, there was a bonded debt thereon of $11,000, which was incurred in the erection of the buildings and the establishment of the school under the direction of Prof. Joseph Kinsey. Today that debt of $11,000 has been removed, due to the untiring energy of Dr. Caldwell and the magnificent support of the members of the church and- the friends of the institution. The discharge of this debt was., sig nalized in a blaze of glory and the dedication of a new dormitory for the :y.oung men, showing further de velopment and a greater i rogress. Col. John F. Bruton had the matter of the burning of the bonds in hand and after delivering a magnificent ad dress in the college chapel, replete with history and incidents concern ing the work and development of the college and its struggles ' since 1905, when jthe bonds were issued to .cover the debt, the cancelled evidence of in debtedness was destroyed upon the campus grounds in the presence of a large assemblage who gave a shout of approval as the flames consumed the papers. Then followed the laying of the corner stone by the Masons in ac cordanoe with the program published in The Times yesterday afternoon. The stone bearing the inscription on the reverse side R. N. Hackett, G. M May 25, 1911, A.

From thence he was taken to Nor folk and in company with Mr. Rice and Mr. W. W. Croxton, General Pas senger Agent of the road, he wfi shown ever Norfolk and taken over their lines to Virginia Beach and Cape Henry. Following a conference with the of ficials of the road, at . which Dr. Moench was employed to tour Geiv many ,and Northern Europe, he was accompanied by Mr. Rice to Balti more, where a conference was held with Mr. Schoemaker, President oC the North German Lloyd line o steamships, who will keep in toticti with Dr. Moench and transport the emigrants he secures. We have letters before us frofia both Dr. Moench and Mr. Croxton confirming the above and both write enthusiastically of the proposition. Dr. Moench sends his love to th& people of Wilson, whom he wwrltea he will ever hold in dearest and fond est remembrance. He sails on th 31st, Mr. Croxton writes: "Dr. Moench i certainly a wonderful man. He pos sesses a splendid ppersonality and a world of intelligence.

I wish that it had been possible for me to have gotten in touch with Dr. Moench before he started, since you say it is unquqes tionably true that if we do not want the kind of immigration that will hurt our civilization, then we have got to go out and find the kind that will help. The South must face this problem. It cannot any longer re main indifferent to the immigration stream. I am personally glad that It can not; for the South, as soon as ft recognizes that national problems are Its own, will then come back rapidly Into national participation and I be lieve into national leadership. When Dr. Moench returns I hope he will be able to stop off in Washington and that we may become acquainted. Kindly send me his European address, that I may communicate with him.
