Washington, Marth 11*. President
Wilson will confer frequently with
members ??t tin- House and Senate in
tin- President's room at the capitol
during the extra session of Congress,
This was announced at the White
House late today. Tie President In
ti mis to make himself as accessible as
possible to member on those days
uhen tariff legislation will have reach*
i its most important development.
He found while Governor of New Jer
?e) that legislation often was expedit?
ed by bis ' los.- communication with
the New Jersey Legislature. He made
it a practice to be in his own office
whenever the Legislature was in ses?
sion, day or ni^ht, and gave prece?
dence in his engagementi to the legis?
lators. The President will go to the
capltoli in a spirit of friendly CO-oper
atloiii there to consult with Democrats
ami Republicans alike on the progress
<>t legislation. He believes, however,
that he should go to the capitol as
parts leader and he has always said
ihat the President is the elected leader
of his party and that lie particularly
was charged by the people with the
carrying out of party pledges. Mr.
Wilson believes the tariff hill should
he treated as a party measure.
The announcement today that the
Finance Committee of the Senate and
tin House Ways and Means Commit?
tee will work on the tariff hill in joint
conference, consulting the President
often, Is in line with his Idea that the
leaders in Congress should draft a hill
whieh should stand or fall on its mer?
its both in Congress ami before the
country.
The President was busy today. He
met a numher of memhers of Congress
<>n questions of appointments, receiv?
ed many visitors in the Bast room In
the afternoon and took an automobile
ritle. Senator Smith, of Maryland,
called to urge the appointment of W.
C. Devecoon for the vacant JudgeShlp
in the Fourth United States District
Court, hut did not discuss the Sena?
torial contest in Maryland.
Though urged to do so by Maryland
leaders, the President has not stated
definitely whether he is for or against
the re-election Of Senator Smith, Dem?
ocrat.
It became known that W, J. Harris,
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee of Georgia, very likely
WOUld be chosen director of the cen?
sus It was also stated authoritative?
ly at the White House that the nomi?
nation of (Tiarles P. Nell! to be com?
missioner of labor statistics, whieh
failed of confirmation ut the special
session of the Senate, would he sent

oonvenet on April 7th.
Mr. Wilson was formally congratu?
lated on his election by a committee

of which he Is the eighth member to
become chief executive of the Nation.
The President also received ? com*
mittee from the National Conservation

Says That Madero and Snare/ Wen
Murdered Two Days Before Assault
Was Made on Automobile Carrying
Their Bodies?Col. Alcalde and
Famll) Woe for Their Lives,
San Francisco, March 20.?Col.
Manuel Blanche Alcalde, publisher of
tbo New Bra, a Mexican City news?
paper generally regarded as the
mouthpiece of the late President
Madero's administration, arrived
here today with the assertion that he
"is in a position to prove"that Mad
ero was shot to death and that Vice
President Snare/, was stubbed in the
national palace in the night of Feb?
ruary 22 and their bodies taken to
the prison in an automobile.
'The reported assault by the
guard," said Alcalde, which was
merely a farcical ruse and a part of
the plot. When the automobile was
fired upon guard.; were only pouring
lead into the dead bodies of the pres?
ident and \ ice president who were
murdered hours before.*1
Col. Alcalde described himself as
an intimate friend of Madero. His
mission in this country, he said would
be to expose the plot which brought
about the Ida/, uprising and the
deaths of Madero and Suaivz.
Accompanied by his wife. two
?mall children and his brother. Joa
quain, an army captain, Alcalde
tied from Mexico City February 23,
taking an obscure route to Salina
Cruz. The party, disguised them?
selves as peasants. On reaching tin
west coast port they remained in se?
clusion 1- days, believing they would
be killed if discovered by agents of
the new government. They chartered
a, barge t?? reach Acapuco, whence
they took passage with other refu?
gees.
Col. Alcalde asserted the news of
Madero*e fate was known in Washing?
ton before the hour named in the of?
ficial version as the time of the alleg?
ed attempt to rescue him.
"As a matter of fact." said he,
'"President Madero and Vice President
Suarei wa re killed between S ami 9.30
o'clock, Mexico City time, on the
nitfht of February The president
was shot from behind and the powder
burned his neck. Busres was choked
to death. His secretary, Fernandos
de la RegUera, saw the body two
days later and there were Anger
marks on the throat. One eye had
been forced from its socket and the
tongue protruded."
Col. Alcade was positive in his as?
sertion that Madame Madero had told
him there was no hope for her hus?
band, basing this fear on an interview
she had with American Ambassador
Wtlon on the afternoon of Febru?
ary IS. "Madame Madero and Ma?
dame Suarez went together to the am?
bassador to Implore him to intercede
for their husband's lives," he said. "1
saw them when they left the embassy
and they told me there was no hope
They said Ambassador Wilson had ex?
pressed to them his belief that the
president sind vice president WOUld be
executed as the Hinrtistas regarded
their deaths for the good of the coun?
try.
"Gen. Ascarde was in command of
the guard that night. I was told by
another officer of the guard that it
was he who slew Madero and Suarez.
Pdtter in his criticism of Ambassa?
dor Wilson, Col, Abahie declared the
American diplomat had declined to
Intercede to save him from arrest
and death.
"I hail protected 18 American fam?
ilies in my school, the Internacional,"
said he, "where I commanded 3<>0
soldiers, feeding the Americans and
housing them during all the lighting
from February 9 to 18. After the
Huerta coup, fearing arrest and exe?
cution. 1 went to the ambassador and
appealed for his aid, in return for my
protection of his people He told me
at first he could do nothing. Finally
he asked me to write my name on
a card with that of my brother. Soon
afterward a friend of min?' rushed to
me with the information that the
American ambassador had given a
card on Which were the names of
my brother and myself to secretary of
the interior, Granados, and the latter
had immediately issued orders for our
arrest. This friend had overheard
part of a conversation between the
ambassador ami Granados, in which
he said the ambassador had said that
my brother and 1 were In fear of ar?
rest. GrandaOS replied that we hail
escaped his attention but he would
attend to our cases at once and the
order- of arrest was issued.
"My friend hastened to me, gave
me his purse and urged me to th e.
I b i t Mexico City disguised as a track
laborer at 10 o'clock that night. My
wife and babies were disguised.
Thanks to a friendly train conductor-,
rt'ti made our way to Salina Cruz anil
embarked for San Francisco."
Col. Alcalde said Mexico will know
no peace tor years.
"Dias wants to be president." ho as?
serted, "but Huerta will never unit
the palace until he is driven out by
successful revolutions, He tells Dias
there will be io election until ho
has restored peace throughout the
c ountry. Huerta has not the slightest
intention of carry nu out his pact with
|)las and the other conspirators."
Alcahb- asserts that papers that
have been Smuggled OUt of Mexico
will assist in proving his charges. He
-aid these papers will reach him at
Los Angeles, for which city he left
tonight.

London, March 21.?The relations
??f Austria am) Montenegro have lie
come acute, even to the poinl of
breaking, as a result of the curl reply
of King Nicholas of Montenegro to
Austria's note concerning Scutari, in
which ho expresses regret for an) in?

tari, hut refuses to concede Vienna's
demand that civilians he allowed to
h ave the besieged city or to permit an
Austrian official to participate in the
inquiry into the alleged murder of
the priest Palle, tin- forcible conver?
sion of Catholics and interference with
the Austrian steamer Skodra.
Austria already has decided to
send Montenegro a more urgent not.',
which will really be a thinly veiled
ultimatum, and it' this does not have
the desired effect to issue n formal
ultimatum, which will he backed up
by the Austrian Heel now off the coast
Of Albania.
Russia, with which country Aus?
tria is reported to have reached a
c, mplete agreement, ii is understood
will urge Montenegro to show a more
conciliatory spirit, hut the previous
Kassian efforts in this direction were
fruitless, and it is feared King Nich?
olas, who believes Ins crown depends
upon the capture of Scutari, will re?
main stubborn.
Austria has notified the powers that
her Heet has gone to the Albanian
coast because of the position of the
Catholics, of whom Austria is the pro?
tector, and lias sent back to Cettinje
her minister. Baron de Giesel, who
will Impress on Montenegro the de?
termination of Austria that Scutari
shall remain Albanian and that Aus?
tria's other demands must he com?
plied with.
Servia. which realizes the fruitless
neas of the continued siege <>r Scutari,
is understood to acquiesce in this. In
fact all the allies, except Montem gro,
which is preparing a general storm?
ing attack on Scutari, anxiously arc
awaiting an excuse to end the war.
King Nicholas, however, is said to
have declared: "Either 1 shall return
to Cettinje the conqueror of Scutari
or not at all."
AUSTRIA MAY INTERFERE.

London, Mart h 20.?Austria, pos?
sibly with the assistance of Italy, is
contemplating isolated action to stop
the bombardment of Scutari, which
it is now alleged, is being direi ted
against the town instead of the for?
tress, and Anally enforcing th.'
powers' decision that Albania shall be
an autonomous State and that Scutari
shall remain part of it.
Of course Montenegro and Servln
will first be given the opportunity of
withdrawing from tin- task of sub?
duing tin* town, which, even, after its
capture, if that occurs, must, accord?
ing to the powers, he gi\ell Up hv the

According to dispatches received by
the Vienna papers, 800 Albanian
Roman Catholics at Djakova, weeping
and wailing, were forced to join the
Orthodox church, tin- soldiers forc?
ing them to choose tin- ,u!' ndoxy or
death. In n.any village. no resi?

Various accounts are i rlnt<v1 . t
the death of a Kornau Catholi? pr I

refused to renoun ;o ins faith und was
beaten to death.
It is e\peet,d that the Austrian
squadron will prevent the Servian re?
inforcements, which left Saloniki
aboard six transports yesterday, from
landing on the Albanian coast. The
troops have been dispatched to the
assistance of the besieging forces
around Scutari.
M. Popovltch, the .Montenegrin del?

incidents on which the Austrian com?
plaints are based either are untrue.
or of small importance.

to i,is huge and appreciative audience.
The magnificent rendition of the fa?
mous "Schneckers High Mass," in
l\" by a quartet <?:' ladies of Saint

sa'-red music.
The- ladles of the quartet however
prov el equal to the occasslon, as they
always do and reflected great credit
upon themselves and local talent, as
well as contributing to the glory and
solemnity of the celebration of the
l-Yast of the Resurrection.
