dero. a brother or Francisco I.
adero, Jr., in an exclusive state-
nt to the United tress today, m
mmentlng upon the success nl the
volution led by his brother, gave
fi praise to Jos3 Yves Limantoii-,
ance minister in the Diaz caDinet.
adero said:
"There was little need of fighting.
jr principal task was to be ready to
M, and make the necessary prepa-
itlons to carry on the revolution lo
conclusive end, in the event Diaz
ad not given up.
'The sincerity of the Madero move
eat was fully understood in the
rfat financial circles from the start,
ost of the world's financial leaders
llnew months ago that thfi revolution
n bound to be successful.
"When Limantour returned from
urope thr-'e months ago he stopped
inNewYons for the purpose of dis
using; .no nnanciai situation in
'Julco with Now York capltxIUts,

ently resided at the Plaza, but spent
most of his time at the Hotel Astor.
It was in his room In the Astor where
the most effective work for the rev
olution was done.
"Father and I went to New York
three times and conferred with Lim
antour. We told him that the rich
est men In Mexico were behind us,
and that he had better Inform the
world's financial Interests that we
were going to overthrow the Diaz
dynasty. We also proved to him
that he would be conferring a bles
sing on our common country and
averting much bloodshed If he ad
vised Diaz andi the interests surroun
ding him that we would succeed In
our undertaking.
"Limantour was finally persuaded
that Diaz and his reign were doomed.
When he reached Mexico City he told
the truth to the president and his ad
visers. This caused Diaz to lose hope
and surrender as unresistingly as
possible. To Limantour is due the
short and comparatively bloodless
revolution.
"When Limantour called upon the
president, upon his return to Mexico
City, he knew he was confronting a
doomed man. He told Diaz the truth
about the situation. Knowing Llm
antour's honesty, Diaz believe! him.

Ho Would Nt Speak.
Pasadena, Cal., May 31. The
failure of William Thum, Pasa-
dena's millionaire mayor, in-
ventor of sticky fly paper, to ap-
pear and speak at yesterday's
Memorial Day exercises has
caused much comment today.
The veterans and their affiliated
organizations are up In arms
over the Incident and are un-
willing to accept Thum's ex-
cuse.
"These people know I can't
make a decent speech, and) etill
they expected me to appear,"
said Thum. "As a matter of
fact, their Invitation was not
delivered to me personally;
therefore, I don't see how they
can feel as they do.'
was the Intervention of American
troops. We were confident that If
America knew our strength and re
sources, and the certainty of our ulti
mate success, the American govern
ment would keep hands off.
"Limantour did much to let the
people of the United States know the
exicc truth, and represented us as
responsible and reliable men. who
could be held accountable for the acts
of the 1 evolutionists. Limantour did
much as' n go-between; he was fair
and an honest friend to both sides.
"When some of my compatriots sc.
cueed me of being too friendly with
Mm. after the: fall of Juarez, I let it
be known that I personally was will
ing to go still further, and that my
faith In him was such that I would be
willing to have him named provision
al president In place of De Labarra.
'To Limantour we owe the fact that
the Insurgents had a fair field and
a chance for a fair fight."

Washington, ' May 31. Attorney
General Wickersham testified today
betore the house committee appoint
ed to investigate the expenditures of
the dpnartnient of justice. He said
that Henry Taft, brother of the pres
ident, as a member of the law firm
of strong and Cadwalader, acted
nimn nnp nppaqlnn as counsel for the
American Sugar Refining company
(the trust.) His ree, saia me attorney-general,
was turned to the
firm's account, of which he (Wicker
sham) was a silent member. His
own share of this fee, Wickersham
testified was $26,000.
Henry Taft, said the attorney-general,
later was retained and appeared
as special attorney for the govern
ment in the prosecution of the licor
ice trust and the affiliated tobacco
trust.
After he himself left the firm Wick
ersham testified, John Henry Ham
mond became affiliated with it and
subsequently represented the sugar
trust in the purchase of the Friar
lands in the Philippine.
The witness declared that when he
rendered the opinion permitting the
sale or the Friar lands to the sugar
trust he was not aware that Ham
mond was represpnting the trust.
Wickersham declared that between
the years 1903 and 1909 he had on
several occasions acted In an advis
ory capacity to the steel trust.
. The government, he said, had ac
cepted the restitution made by the
imcriran Rnenr itefinlne comuany
in the matter of fraudulent weights
on imports, but had made no attempt
to enforce the penalties for violating
the law. The attorney-general said
this had not been done because he
felt that the government had insuf
ficient evidence.
