MEXICO CITY, Feb. 19 Events
followed each other raDiin Mexi
co City again today.
General Victoriano Huerta was
elected Provisional President by Con
gress at a special secret session to
night.. Already forced to face plots, the
new administration caused the arrest
tonight of General Francisco Romero
who is accused of complicity with
Francisco Coiso Robelov in a new re
volt. The plot involves a group of
rurales.
Gustavo Madero, brother of the
deposed president and regarded by
many as the instigator of most of
the objectionable features of Franci
sco Madero's administration, was
taken from prison this morning, com
pelled to "run the gauntlet" under
the notorious "fugitive law," and shot
to death as he ran. He was riddled
by the bullets of the guard.
Tentative preparations were made
for exiling ex-President Madero to
gether with his family, but it is said
late tonight they may not be carried
out. Instead, at the instigation of the
new goverrnment, Madero has been
held formally resnonsibile for the
death of Colonel Riveroll, which oc
curred at : the place at the time of
Miidero's arrest.
Conflicting stories are In circula
tion regarding the slayer of Riveroll,
but it is said officially that Madero
shot him with a pistol.

LONDON Feb. 19. The country
residence of Chancellor of the Ex
chequer David Lloyd-George, at Wal
ton Heath, was practically destroyed
i this morning by a bomb which the po
lice say was placed there either by
militant suffragettes or by male sym
pathizers. The infernal machine was. so pow
erful that the brick walls of the
hoiii-e split in all directions and most
of the rooms were wrecked.
Two seven-pound cans of black
powder also had been placed among
heaps of wood shavings wt'.ch had
been saturated with oil and in the
center of which burning candles had
been fixed.
The police found two broken haK
pins among the wreckage.
It is declared by neighbors that an
automobile containing several women
passed through the village in the
early hours.
Lloyd-George himself in on a mo-
! tor trip in France. Nobody was in
jured, as the residence had not yet
been occupied.
An official of the Woman's Social
and Political Union told the police
that tiie society had no knowledge
of the perpetrators.
"General" Mrs. Flora Drummond,
however, declared that the explos
ion was "undoubtedly the work of
women." She exclaimed enthusias
tically: "I think it is grand. It was
a fine act, successfully carried out
and shows the determination of the
women. I say 'all power to all kinds
of militancy in the direction of har
rassing Cabinet ministers, short of
taking life.' "
This is the second time within a
year that violent methods have been
used against the residences of Cabi
net Ministers, the first being an at
tempt to burn the house of Lewis
Harcourt, secretary for the Colonies,
at Nuneham.

PYTHIAN INSURANCE
SUSTAINED BY OR
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 19.
The board of control of the Supreme
Lodge of the Knights of Pythias act
ed withing its power when it estab
lished in 1907 a fifth class of insur
ance, using money from the fund of
the fourth class for the purpose, held
Edward Daniels, master of chancery,
in an opinion rendered here yester
day. The decision was in the case
of Fritz Heimsoth, represening the
policy holders in the fourth class,
who asked the court to grant a man
date forcing the lodge officials to
repay more than $800,000 from the
general fund to the mortuary fund
of the fourth class, and also to main
tain a separate expense account for
that division.
Daniels found that in 1907, when
the fifth class of insurance was or
ganized along old line plans, the
fourth division rates ffhd been found
insufficient. He held that the action
of the board of control was best for
the policy holders in that all fourth
class policy holders not wishing to
enter the fifth division were provid
ed for.
The opinion ends a six-year contro
versy in' the ranks of the order.

MEASURE CALLED BACK IN SEN-
ATE AND HARD FIGHT MADE
AGAINST IT
ACT HAD BEEN SIGNED M WEST
Dimick and Schuebel Play Shrewd
Game in Protecting Measure
-Farrell Loses Stub
born Battle
SALEM, Feb. 19 (Special.) In
an endeavor to whip Senator Dimick
into line on a bill opposed by the
organization members of that body
today all but called bacK and defeat
ed the Schuebel ten-hour bill. On the
final vote on the motion of Senator
Farrell to recall the measure. Iroio
the House and "reconsider" it Dim
ick won out by 15 to 14. Rising to
explain his vote, Dimick declared
Farrel had said that Farrell s veto
of the ten-hour bill cost him $50,000
for the paper mills and they would
take their business away from him.
Farrell is a Portland commission
man. He has been making a hard
fight to. defeat the Carkin bill which
would put commission houses under
the Public Utilities Commission. Sen
ator Dimick declared it was an en
deavor to gain his opposition to the
Carkin bill that Farrell had tried to
recall the ten-hour bill. This after
noon Farrell moved that the vote on
the ten-hour bill be reconsidered.
His and one more vote would have
killed it. The motion was carried by
a bare -majority, and Dimick was de
feated in the first round. It was then
discovered that the bill had gone to
the House for that body to concur in
the Senate amendment and the vote
on reconsideration was declared in
valid. Then Farrell moved to have
the bill recalled from the House
This motion was not debatable, only
when his name was called could
Dimick g$t in a word. Then he rose
and made the sensational charge that
Farrell had declared his vote on the
ten-hour bill had cost him $50,000 in
business from the paper mills. Iu
the last minute, Joseph, usually an
enemy of Dimick on the floor, chang
ed his vote to no and the bill was
left to go its course.
Governor West, however, has now
signed the bill. Getting wind of the
fact that the Senate was trying to
recall the measure, Schuebel took the
bill to the Governor and it was sign
ed even before the final vote on tLe
recall had been announced. , In case
the Senate vote had carried it would
have been invalid, for the two Ore
gon City men, working together, had
been playing a successful game of
hide and seek with. ' the bill. Had
Senator Farrell discovered that the
bill had been taken from the House
to the Goveryor's J3fice it would have
required a separate motion to recall
it from there even if the chler execu
tive had signed it. The Senate
might have recalled it from the Sec
retary of State's office, but the bill's
opponents did not know where it was
and the bill is now safe, signed by the
Governor, and no doubt will remain.
But it will go into effect with the pro
vision for time and a half for all
over ten hours a day.

sidered the proposed improvement of
the city parks and upon the motion
of Mr. Tcoze, the mayor appointed
a committee which will in the future
.have the governing of the parks and
which will during the coming sum
mer work for the beautifying of the
parks. Mr. Tooze in bringing the
matter to the attention of the coun
cil, stated that he believed that the
city should set a mark in civic beau
ty, at least as high as the private
citizens and that the city could be
made much more attractive to out
side visitors and prospective citizens
if its parks were improved. He also
stated that he believed a man should
be employed who understood park
ing and floriculture to care for the
parks. The mayor appointed Coun
cilmen Tooa, Beard and Albright on
the committee.
The city enginetV as instructed
to draw up estimates and specifica
tions for the .improvement of Sev

High Street Eastward to the intersec
tion of Division Street. This im
provement calls for the use of ma
cadam and not hard surface. The mat
ter of the hardsurfacing of Main
Street from the Basin to Moss Street
was also considered and all property
owners along the street are urged to
be present at the next meeting of
the council which will be held Wed
nesday evening, February 26.
At the request of O. D. Eby, act
ing for the school board, the coun
cil ordered that the city engineer sur
vey the extension of Division Street
behind the Eastham school and that
if the property owners' fences were
found to be encroaching upon the
street, order that they be removed,
and if this was not done the fences
should be razed.
The city attorney was authorized
to -draw up an ordinance to cover the
cost of the new concrete fire house
near the bell tower. An appraise
ment of High Street was ordered by
the council and the following were
appointed a committee: J. W. Swaf
ford,. O. D. fiby, and Mr. Lewellyn.
The council will go to Monroe Street
Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock to de
cide whether the street be accepted.
The city engineer will take up the
proposed steps behind the Hawley
mill and determine what rights the
city has at this locality. Consider
able discussion took place about the
grade on High Street, but nothing
was done on the matter. March 12
was designated as the last day on
which remonstrances against the ac
ceptance of lower Mlain Street will
be heard.
The city recorder and attorneyt
were instructed to see what steps
can be taken- to compel those per
sons who secured an injunction
against the improvement of lower
Main Street to pay the assessment.
An architect will be engaged some time
in the future to draw up plans for
the erection of a new fire house for
Company No. 4 at Mountain View.
The first reading of the ordinance
permitting electric signs passed. The
first reading of the acceptance of the
paving work of the Montague-O Ri
ley Company on Main Street passed
