The reason for the ap pointment is attributable to the fail- and ure of the General Assembly to name made Dr. Houseal as a trustee of the Med- tree' Such SCollege. tweei The Senate went into executive havin session at once to consider the ap pointment of Dr. W.

A hot debate took white place over the matter, and during whit the course of the discussion the ton. -.iendid work which Dr. Babcock has he fE done for the State Asylum was laud- di ed by member after member. Dr. Wt Houseal was referred to in highest ed tc terms, but the Senate did not approve of the Governor's attempted ousting hO of Dr. Babcock. the The statements that the Constitu- from tion requires that the board of re- Th gents of the Asylum and the super- that intendent be appointed with the ad- victa vice and consent of the Senate; that reach the Constitution .forbids the holding breal of any office for life, except that of Minn notary public, and, that the appoint- aser meat of Dr. Houseal was illegal' ton were ,brought out during the thresh- te ing out of this matter.

The reason issigned by that the Governor for his action as severe lyl denounced. The vote shows that even Governor Blease's friends in the Senate refused to sustain him. Governor Blease was on the floor Seve of the Senate when his message first came in, but left soon afterwards. His sudden action caused a sensa- At tion.

MADERO IIETRAYEU HE WAS PUT UNDER ARREST BI MEN HE TRUSTED WHOM HE HAD ADVANCED The Change of Government Appar ently Meets With Popular Approval Crowds Lining the Streets Shout ing "Vivas" for the Principals, Madero Given to His Enemies. The news from Mexico City shows that President Madero was betrayed by men whom he had trusted ana advanced to high position and turn ed over to the tender mercy of his bitterest enemies. Generals Huerta and Blanquet were in charge of the Federal army fighting the rebels in !fexico City when they betrayed Ma lero into the hands of Diaz, who was in command of the rebels, and the yne man who is responsible for the terrible scenes that have been enact d in Mexico City during the past ;wo weeks. Both Huerta and Blanquet had as sured Madero of their loyalty up to he very time they betrayed him in .o the hands of Diaz, the rebel lead hr, who now share with them the re iponsibility for the government of dfexico, for his treachery. General 7ictoriano Huerta, who had been commanding the Madero forces Lgainst the rebellious troops under eneral Felix Diaz, has been pro laimed provisional governor-gen ,ral of the republic, and General ilanquet, who was second in com nand of the Federal troops, but ut who aided with the overthrow >f Madero, is provisional military ommander. These men were on the most In imate terms with Mad , and he elied on them to crus the rebell n, but instead, they be trayed their riend. The plot to overthrow Ma [ero took definite shape about noon uesday. It was arranged that IBlanqu(et hould play a role in the peace .plan econdary only to that of General ictoriano Huerta. The force of 1,000 men belonging o Blanquet's command was moved a from its position near the British emetery and stationed near the na ional palace. It was explained that his force was intended to replace he reserve troops which had been here many weeks and whose loyalty Madero was unquestioned. General Blanquet brought about he arrest of Madero after he had lade a speech to the crowd in which e said that the time had come when he slaughter in the city must cease. [e had already detailed twenty men o march to the president's private ffice in the palace and guard the ntrance. Colonel Riverell was plac d in command of this squad. The president's first intimation f the new turn of affairs came when e walked .into the hall of the am assadors, where he saw federal oldiers standing with their rifles t "ready." One of the soldiers, ver enthusiastic, stepped forward nd dropped his rifle into a line ith the president's breast. Madero thrust the rifle aside and ized the soldier. In the struggle, de gun was discharged, the bullet ying harmlessly away. The strug le and the rep~ort brought Madero's ersonal guards to his assistance. ut they offered ineffectual resist ce to the soldiers. At the conclusion of the brief en munter two of the guards had been, illed and six others wounded, among aem, Colonel Riverell, who died a iort time afterward. The capture of ae members of the cabinet was ef acted without resistance and there ppears to be excellent reason to be eve that some of the cabinet mem er were involved in the plot. Gustavo Madero, brother of the resident, also was arrested. He had een denounced in many quarters nce the first day of the aLadero ad aini4tration as an awrchh-poli1qician 'nd had .been charged with b.'lug .se councilor of the oresident. A ew 1.ours later General de Lag'o ndl G(i rai Angeles, tw> le ii.' a) ommanders, who were not in accord ith General Huerta's plan were ad ed to the list of prisoners. Francisco Madero, always of a ner ous disposition, appeared like a wild ian at the moment of his arrest. He alked volubly about "traitors,'' de onucing bitterly those who had rought about his downfall. Later, .owever, he seemed to regard the latter more philosoph!"ally. Great curiosity had been aroused y unusal activity in the national alace and the arrival there of Gener 1 Huerta with Gustavo Madero, one a the brotherg of the president. fundreds of people gathered around he doors of the building. When General Huerta saw that the opulace was being held back by a [ne of soldiers, he gave orders to let hem enter. The crowd poured hrough the wide doors in a solid tream until the court yard was [lled. General H-uerta then made a short peech to the gathering, briefly out ining the results of his action. He ssured his hearers that peace would on be established throughout the epublic. The people had expected to Lear General Huerta announce the ictor of the government forces or hat Diaz had surrendered. Many Sthem stood for a moment stupe led by the statement which Huerta nade. Then they broke into a cheer which reached the ears of Madero n his temporary prison. All this was done without agree nent and without the knowledge of elix Diaz. General H~uerta played he bold stroke of taking Diaz at ts word, given some days ago, when to suai hewa not figrhting for WHERE THEY ALL STAN POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS C CANDIDATES.

It did not take the public long o realize what had occurred. Long efore the details of the formation of the provisional government under eneral Huerta had been completely worked out, residents of the capita] ad begun to give vent to their joy and relief all over the city. The shouts that were sent up were ot those of the partisans of a vic torious army, but of people whose erves had .been worn to tatters by eforced participation i!n a long and esperate battle In the confined space f a great city. American residents congregated in the district about the United States mbassy were just as demonstrative s the Latin-Americans. In diploma. tic circles where the tension also had been great the solution which nad been found was greeted heartily. Along San Francisco street and in ther thoroughfares of the down town d:strict, extending as far as the big open square in front of the national palace, tens of thousands of people pushed their way .back and forth waving banners which had been improvised out of the first material at hand and on which were printed the one word, "peace." Shouts of "Hurrah for Huerta,' "hurrah for Blanquet," "hurrah for Daz," "hurrah for Monragon," sounded everywhere throughout the city. Diaz and Monragon were re sponsible for all the tdouble through which Mexico passed in the last two weeks, and, yet, they, with the two arch traitors who had betrayed Ma dero were acclaimed heroes by the fickle populuace. "My Address is Heaven." At Sedalia, Mo., Rev. W. N. Phil lips, a retired Baptist minister, died, aged seventy-nine years. Here is a paragraph of an obituary written by himself: "Having fought the fight, I am ready to be offered. Farewell, comrades. Meet me there. Goodby, Za4 addre is Heaven." D WITNESSED A BATTLE HE TELLS OF FIGHTING IN 31EXI F GNMP' An Englishman on Way to Candada Describes Wounding of Two Amer icans During Battle. Herman 0. Weiss, civil engineer of LI New York and Washington, was y wounded during the fighting in !Mex o ico City last Tuesday week, accord g ing to J. B. Gibson of Yancouver, B. t C., who was among the refugees who d returned to the United States via e San Antonio, Tex. While in that city a he talked interestingly of the battle e in Mexico City. He said: 2 "Weiss, with Sydney Sutherland, a newspaper reporter, D. E. Hammer s and an American whose name I did e not know, was viewing the battle Y from the roof of a hotel when a fus ilade was fired in that direction and r Sutherland and Weiss were wounded a Weiss was standing with his foot on - a coping and a bullet struck his leg at the knee and came out at the hip, -ut without touching the -bone. At the time I left Mexico City _ Thursday, Diaz was not only strong ly entrenched in the arsenal with the r Y. M. C. A. building," said Mr. Gib son, "but had men stationed on all tall -buildings in the neighborhood It was understood that about 3,000 rounds of cartridges were stored in the arsenal with 60 cannon and a number of machine guns. The ac curacy of his fire was remarkable. He has some of the best artillerymen in the Mexican army, and they are well equipped with range finders. "I saw a force of about 100 ru rales charge a rebel position Tuesday, and when Diaz turned his machine guns and cannon on them,it was sick ening. A few may have escaped, but the greater number was struck sev eral times. I was informed by a for eign diplomat Tuesday that Madero's loss was more than 1,000 killed and wounded. "Wednesday night a crowd looted the salesroom of the Goodyear Rub ber company. While there is no po lice protection, there is very little disorder among the lower element." Mr. Gibson said foreigners were much concerned over reports that the United States might intervene. Such a report, he says, was circulated by a newspaper correspondent and caused much feeling. "I am a British subject, but all for eigners who speak English are looked c upon as 'firingoes', and should an an- I ti-American outbreak have occurred 1 I would not have considered my life i worth a cent," said Gibson. ] HUNTING W.

He is described as five feet seven inches in height; gray-blue eyes; brown, wavy hair; weight about 170 pounds in 1911, has mark around left eye, due from eight stitches. The information re garding Mir. Roberts is wanted by his wife, Mrs. William H. Roberts, schuykill Haven, Penn., who hsa not heard from him since last Au gust. IMr. Roberts had been in the South and Mrs. Roberts had heard from him from Savannah, Charlotte ~ and from South Carolina. He sent her a kodak picture taken in this State. Mr. Roberts stated in his let ter of August 30, mailed on thes train, marked "Charlotte and Au gusta", that he would reach home t in September, but Mrs. Roberts has not heard from him since. She Is s very much worried and would appre- e ciate any information that can be e e'n by any one regarding his whereabouts. She and her three chil dren, the oldest 11 years of age, anx iously await news about him. Let ters may be addressed to Mrs. Wil liam H. Roberts, Schuykill Haven, Penn. In his letters, Mr. Roberts had been complaining of not feeling , well. 1 HIS KINSMEN TO THE RESCUE. Y t But Plan to Take Tom Henderson From Lockup Fails.t e Thomas Henderson, a young white e man, went on a spree in Landrum o Thursday night and terrorized the h town. Defying all comers to inter- tl fere with him, he smashed windows a and bombarded houses with rocks. S Reinforced by a dozen citizens, the police undertook to arrest him. Sev- p eral shots were fired in the melee 13 which followed, but nobody was In- ri jured. After he had been clubbed, k Henderson was carried, struggling g like a wildcat, to the guard house. o An hour or two thereafter Perry Henderson, his father, and other rel- 11 atives, armed themselves and vowed n they were going to rescue Tom. The r citizens took steps to repel the attack t: and the Henderson clan were finally dissuaded from their purpose. Hen- ci derson was carried to Spartanburg r< Friday for safe keeping. He will be rn returned to Landrum for trial when G the situation becomes less tense. d Pass Act Over Veto. o The house, by a vote of 98 to 6, U passed over the veto of the governor the act to authorize the State Agri cultural and Mechanical society to execute a mortgage on Its propertyC to the city of Columbia to secure cer-h tain bonds.

Also Held Responsible for Death of Col. Riveroll. A dispatch from Mexico City says that ly rancisco Madero will get out of Mexico without having to face of ficial investigations for one thing or another now appears improbable. He already has been charged with re sponsibility for the death of Col. Riv eroll, whom he is alleged to have shot at the time of his arrest in the palace. A committee of Deputies now has asked that Madero be forced to ac count for moneys expended by the Administration. This committee call ed on President Huerta Thursday af ternoon and urged that Madero be held accountable for the depleted condition of the treasury. The last details of the organira tion of -Mexico's new government were complete at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, when members of Presi dent Huerta's official family took the oath in the yellow room of the palace, immediately above that oc-pied by the deposed President and t.ice-Pres ident. Although unable to witness the scenes from their room, Madero and Saurez could hear plaudits of the crowds in the streets and in the big square in front, and the bugle calls ,f the united army. Significant of the birth of the new administration was the frank display of soldiers, and the effect on the crowds was not lost. it served as a reminder that even if It was not a military dictatorship :hat has been established, the pi int administration was of muct ;terner quality than that which had rust fallen. Gen. Felix Diaz was among those n the yellow room when the minis- I ers took the oath. and heard pro tounced ' the -formal time-honored >hrase: "If you keep this oath, the ountry will reward you; if you don't, t t will call you to an accounting." en. Diaz was present ostensibly in 1o official capacity, but merely as a )rivate citizen, which he became nany months ago on resigning his ommission as a general In the regu ar army. Madero and Pino Saurez betrayed n their faces the chagrin and humil ation which they must have felt, ac ording to officers of the guard. Teither deigned to ask questions as o what was happening in the room ,bove, but the conversation of the -uards served to acquaint them with he proceedings. A sneer showed on he face of Madero, but the defec Eon of the former Vice-President was 00 great, apparently, to permIt a lay of other emotions. Federico Gonzales Garza, the for mer Governor of the Federal dis- ~ rict, is the third prisoner occupying he room. There is no partition. lach man is furnished with a bed 2 ud meals are brought -periodicallyt nd served jointly. M~adero has ceas d to refuse food and so far as per onal comfort Is concerned he no :mger resists efforts in that direc- C Ion. Outside the room stands a nard of soldiers, and although there re no windows in the room, anoth r guard is constantly on duty within, i2 ven during the sleeping hours. si No one has -been allowed to talk p rith the prisoners, although their a rives have been permitted to send s erbal mesages. *Madero has signi- c ed nothing regarding his future t> lans, even if premitted to leave the a ountry. Members of his family are o qually reticent, but .by those most E itimate with them it Is considered a o' improbable that the entire family I rill emigrate to South Ameica if t. ae opportunity Is afforded them. d Gustavo Madero, who was shot p [onday, remarked on one occasion te iat South America had been consid- tr red as a refuge just before It be- . ame evident that the government b r Porfirio Diaz was weakenIng. The h [aderos about that time considered n 3at they were beaten and had made 1l arrangements to buy property in a outh America. ci The treasury department Is at b resent closed, pending its formal de- f< very to the new authorities by the ci tiring minister of finance, Ernesto C [adero. All the othef officers of the si overnment are open for the conduct el I affairs as usual. i The arsenal has been formally a~e- fi vered over to Gen. Blanquet, the n ew commander of the post. The n iaz forces were roundly cheered as si iey marched out. tI Francisco Cosio Robelo, who suc- v; seds in attracting to his banner of w avoIt against Huerta possibly 100. n~rales, Is making little headway. w~ en. Francisco Romiero was Wednes- r< ay arrested for complicity in this re- g lt and Thursday Col. Arturo Valle, tl Sthe rural guard, also was placed ir nder arrest on the same charge. b Gen.

Riding with the head of is troops, which, for nine days with :ood attacks of the government, itz reached such an ovation as had ot been witnessed since the trimph I entry of Madero at the close of his volution.h Crowds filled the streets to wit-. ess the march of troops from the rsenal and the big square In front fthe national palace where the -oops passed In review before the si ew President, was one great mass ri fhumanity.

Adolfo Basso, superintendent of th< national palace at Mexico City, wat executed at 3 o'clock Thursday morn ing. ,Basso was an aged man but ii said to have faced the firing squa bravely and laid bare his breast t( the riflemen. His last words were "viva Mexico". The fate of ex-president Madero il still in the balance. Preparation: had been made at midnight for h's departure with members of his fami ly into exile, but these were sudden ly halted by orders from General Huerta. Senora )adero with her parts of exiles, waited impatie.tly for more than two hours at the station when she was informed by ex-foreign min ister Lascurain that the ex-president would be "prevented from joining them on the journey". Senora Madero, weeping bitterly, left the station and returned to the city. The fate of Madero is uncer tain. Huerta's order preventing the departure of Madero gave rise to many rumors and conjectures. Felix Diaz denies responsibility for the execution of Gustavo Madero and Adolfo Basso. The official re port on the death of Madero says he was shot while attempting to escape, while being removed from one part of the arsenal to another. Joan Azcona, private secretary to Ex-president Madero, and Jesus Ure a, Madero's chief support In the hamber of Deputies, were added to the list of prisoners. They had es :aped during the upheaval at the pal .ce, but were captured. From closest estimates obtainable the casualties during -the fighting on .he streets shows about three thou land killed and seven thousand sounded. A great majority of the lead were non-combatants and in luded a large proportion of women ,d children. WHAT TILLMAN WANTS. oping and Praying for Reasonable Railroad Bill. Senator Tiliman said Saturday to he Washington correspondent of The ews and Courier: "I am watching the Legislature of outh Carolina and hoping and pray ag that it will pass some reasonable ailroad bill. It ought to pass a bill equiring every railroad selling mile ge books to sell one good for any Lumber of persons to go anywhere on he system, just as they do all over he North, east of the arid prairies. "The requirement that holders of ileage books shall exchange mile ge for tickets is a nuisance and an bomination, and -the requirement hat a member of his family buy a parate book for each member of is family Is a robbery that ought not > be permitted.

A dispatch from Mexico City says Francisco L Madero, deposed from the Presidency Tuesday, will .be ex iled. Arrangements were made for his departure from the capital for some European -part. Madero will be accompanied by his wife and perhaps by his father and other members of his family. His loyal aide, Capt. Fedrico Montes, also will go, but in the capacity of a guard. The party will proceed to Vera Cruz under escort. The execu tion of Gustavo Madero, brother of the deposed President, was the most tragic occurrence of Wednesday. He was subjected to the "fugitive law" and was shot to death by his guards. Members of the Cabinet and most of the other prisoners were released Wednesday morning. Francisco Ma dero, Jose Pino Saurez, the Vice President, and Frederico Gonzales Garza, Governor of the Federal dis trict, were the only important pris oners held. Ernesto Madero, the former finance minister, paid a leng thy visit Wednesday afternoon to Francisco. Gen. Huerta, who has assumed the - post of Governor General, and Gen. Diaz had an extended conference, after which it was announced that -they were in complete accord. Later Gen. Huerta was in conference with the American ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson. A group of Senators discussed the question of the Presidency with Gen. Huerta, who, it is understood, will receive the appointment' of Provis ional President at the hands.of Con-. gress, a meeting of which body has been called. Already forced to face plots, the new administration caused the arrest Wednesday night of Gen. Franscisco Romero. Romero is accused of com plicity with Francisco Cosio Robelo in a new revolt. The plot involves a group of rurales. - The execution of Gustavo Madero, known as the "power behind the throne" in Mexico, formed a tragic sequel to the upheaval in Mexico City Tuesday, when Francisco Ma dero's administration was turned out by the Federal generals. The ex-Presidefft and his brother, Gustavo, were sent Wednesday morn ing as prisoners to the arsenal, from which Felix Diaz had bombarded the city for ten days. Soon after their arrival there Gustavo Madero was subjected to the notorious "fugitive law", by which he was free to run under the rifle fire of his guards. He fell dead under their bullets. Had Francisco Madero succeeded in defeating Diaz there seems little doubt that bloody reprisals would have been made. "Those who should die" is the caption of an official "Maderoist" document found Tues day night. In the list of proscribed there were twenty-two names of prominent men, including Francisco De La Barra, Jesus Flores Magon, Manuel Calero, Alberta Gracia Gran nados and Dr. Vaquez Gomez. For some days De La Barra believ ed he was in danger of assassination, and he, therefore, hid in the British legation, where he heard that num erous threats had been made to cap ture hm. The rebel troops are not to be re moved from their positions for two or three days, as disorders are fear ed. The authorities do not wish to give occasion for public manifesta tions. Gustavo ~Madero was generally re garded as a much more powerful man than the President himself. After Francisco Madero had quar relled with Dr. Vasquez Gomez he and his brother forced Juan Jose Saurez to the front to take the posi tion of Vice-President, although he was little isnown. This was a thing Madero's ene rues never forgave and was really the reason for the starting of the Anti-Government party, which show ed sympathetic opposition to the schemes of the politician, Gustavo Madero. After Gustavo's arrest and during iis removal through the streets tbe arowds were wildly excited, and ev en made efforts to lay their hands upon him. A heavy guard of rurales was necessary to assure the safety. Gustavo Madero was at one time inister of finance of Mexico. Ho risited the United States early in [ 911. Young Lad Killed by Auto.
