MYSTERY SURROUNDS TRAGEDY It Is Claimed That the Prisoners Attempted to Escape—In vestigation Ordered. Washington, D. C. — Ambassador Henry L.ane Wilson telegraphed to the state department that Francisco de la Barra, minister for foreign af fairs, had invited all foreign diplo mats in Mexico City to take luncheon with hiiA. The ambasador stated that none of the diplomats would at tend the luncheon unless the tragic death of former President Madero and former Vice President Suarez is cleared of mystery. Mexico City.—Francisco I. Madero and Jose Pino Suarez are dead. In a midnight ride under guard from the National palace to the peni tentiary they were killed. The circumstances surrounding the death of the deposed president and vice president of the republic are un known, except as given in official ac counts. which do not conform in all eases. The only witnesses were these actually concerned in the killing. The provisional president. General Vietoriano Huerta, says the killing of the two men was incidental to a fight between their guard and a party at tempting to liberate them. The minis ter of foreign relations, Francisco de la Barra, adds that the prisoners at tempted to escape. Neither makes a definite statement as to which side fired the fatal shots. It is not impos sible that neither knows. An official investigation has been ordered to determine the responsibili ty, and solemn promises have been made that the guilty will be punished. Not unnaturally a great portion of the public regards the official ver sions with doubt, having in mind the use for centuries of the notorious "ley fnga.” the unwritten law which j is invoked when the death of a prison- i er is desired. After its application here is written on the records, j 'Prisoner shot trying to escape.” Senora Madero, widow of the ex president, received the first definite information of his death from the Spanish minister, Senor Cologan y j Cologan. She already had heard re- < ports that something unusual and ser ious had happened, but friends » had j endeavored up to that time to pre vent her from learning the whole truth. Soon afterward, accompanied by his j brother, Jose Perez, and Mercedes | Madero, a sister of Francisco. Senora j Madero drove to the penitentiary, but was refused permission to see the body of her husband. The tragedy occurred shortly after ; midnight.

Thus everything wil have to be done over again by the next legislature. la the meantime with things unsettled, it will be doubt ful if the legislature will provide fot any more buildings on present site ELECTION DAY IN FRANCE Republic Choose Versailles as City in Which Presidents Are Named— Executives All Have Doubles. Versailles, France.—The day of the presidential election revived some of the old glories of Versailles. Louis XIV., as we know, selected Versailles In preference to St. Germain as his abode. He, in fact, created it. It was In the course of a hunting party that he was fascinated by the beautiful sur roundings and the wooded country of Versailles, and immediately after wards joined and formed the nucleus of the chateau. For nearly a century Versailles was abandoned, and it was the Republic which restored some of its prestige. First of all the senate and chamber met there regularly till 1S79, and then the Constitution pro vided that even after the removal of 1 Bed of Queen Marie Antoinette, Pre served in the Palace of Versailles. the parliament to Pans the election of the president of the republic should always take place at Versailles. The great event of January 17 being po litical. Versailles lacked some of the gay and fashionable elements to which such an occasion might lend itself. President Fallieres may or may not regret his disappearance from the Elysee. Hut there is one man who does. The good ex-president has a double in Paris, who for years has basked in a subtly reflected glory. He realized early—friends rushed to tel! him—in the career of the new presi dent that he would be constantly taken for the head of the state, and, being a humorist and genial person withal, he prepared himself for his fate. When any one bowed to him respectfully he returned a sweeping "coup de chapeau" and smiled an am ple Fallieres smile. He even wore a hat such as the worthy president af fected, and a spotted butterfly tie. These things reassured many people who were at first inclined to doubt whether it really was the president after all. Every French president, they say, has his double, and for some one the honor which has been withdrawn from the double of M. Fallieres will be be stowed upon some one as yet perhaps all ignorant of the greatness thrust upon him. Let us hope he will take it in the same gracious spirit that has characterized M. Fallieres' double. That complaisant personage will not be shorn of all his felory. He will still shine with a modified luster as the double of an ex-president. WHY CAT HAS NINE LIVES Has Ceased to Be a Question to This Official Cat and Dog Executioner. New London. Conn.—Why a cat has nine lives ceases to be a question. The presence of electricity explains it. This important contribution to sci entific knowledge is made by Herbert A. Deau of Providence, who holds the delightful job of official cat and dog executioner in Providence and New London. lie has cut short the careers of nu merous dogs here by asphyxiation in a large tank. None of them gave Dean a bit of trouble. Several months ago he placed a cat in the gas tank and turned on the fumes. Within a few minutes the tank exploded, almost consigning Dean and 1 his assistant. Earl Brown, to the fate 1 decided on for the cat. Dean thought that was just an ordi nary accident, but the other day when a second cat was tossed in to the tank, the death chamber blew up again. Brown was slightly injured ! and Dean's hair was singed. What remains of the tank will never form a topic of conversation. Dean, seeking an explanation, went to the office of the New London Gas and Electric Company and told his j story. One of the officials laughed : and said that when a cat is thrown in- | to the tank the feline arches its back and by rubbing the same against the side of the tank generates so much electricity that an explosion is inevi table. The gas expert said that this was ! so because one of his engineers who ! had looked into the thing said it was j MAN TAKES BACK HIS DOLLAR Husband Keeos Eight-Year Record for Stinginess Free From Stain.
