Accusation Made of Attempt to
Pay Man who Killed Madaro.
Mexico City, May 24.—There
was wild excitement in the
chamber of deputies this even-
ing when Deputy Moheno de-
nounced the bill of 30,000 pesos
that was to be paid Cecil L. Ocon
for "services rendered to the
government."
Moheno declared Ocon was the
actual murderer of the late Pres-
ident Madero and said the money
was to pay him for the murder.
Deputy Thomas Braniff backed
up Moheno's statement. Other
deputies made the statement in
the chamber this afternoon that,
while they were not Maderists,
they owed Madero their liberty
of speech and said he had shown
them how a president should be
deposed.
Minister De la Barra's de-
mands for the expenses of the
foreign relations for the month
of June, amounted to 148,000
pesos, was emphatically turned
down as being excessive, the dep-
uties charging that De 'a Barra
is being maintained in luxury by
a [poor government.
El Heraldo de Mexico today
says the new felicista presiden-
tial ticket is Felix Diaz and Dr.
Franciseo Vasquez Gomez, the
latter now being a fugitive from
Mexico. There are many rumors
of bad feeling between Felix
Diaz and President Huerta be-
cause of the latter's retention of
the presidency and his failure to
set a date for the election.
These rumors go so far as to
say there will be fighting here
soon. Politicians are plotting
oontinaally, trying to stir up
trouble, and undoubtedly matters
will come to a head ere long, but
it is impossible to predict just
what form this will take.
PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION,
SAN FRANCISCO, 1915.
Grasshoppers Numerous
on Texas Plains
Amarillo, May 26.—The sec-
tion of New Mexico between
Elido and Texico is alarmed over
the presence of teeming millions
of grasshoppers. The central
body of the insects is five miles
in width and eighteen miles in
length and is entirely denuding
the lands of grass and crops,
and even the leaves of the trees.
The course is from southwest to
northwest and k is believed that
much of Northwest Texas and
perhaps Oklahoma will receive a
like visitation. The pests are
spreading and increasing as they
go. Government, state and rail-
road experts will combine in ef-
forts to eradicate the insects
through the medium of poisons
mixed with food products.

approximately 275 feet front by 800 feet deep, covering about 210,000 square

composed of the prows of modern motor boats, each carrying a searchlight.
This point will be used by Mr. Ryan, the chief of Illumination of tho exposi-

groups at the base of the building will convey, allegorlcally, tho uses of elec-

modernity is in harmony with the nature of the exhibits which It will house,
and Its triumphal character is emblematic of that triumph of modern trans-
portation, the automobile. The groups of statuary surmounting tho attic

Plans ti Improve
Marketing Conditions
Fort vVorth, May 26.— In a re-
cent interview Peter Radford,
president of the State Farmers
Union, expressed the highest
gratification at the plan David
F. Houston, Secretary of Agri-
culture of the United States, re-
cently announced through the
columns of the press, has to im-
prove marketing conditions. The
idea is entirely in harmony with
the activities of the Farmers'
Union whose efforts are now be-
ing directed to end a hideous
story of waste and inefficiency
in the state of Texas, as the new
Secretary expresses it in his
interview.
"What is the most important
agricultural question of the day?'
Secretary Houston repeated
when asked this question re-
cently. "Let me answer in my
own fashion," he replied.
"So far, the States and the
National Government have been
giving attention to problems of
production. We have wanted to
know how staple crops might be
increased. The results which
have been accomplished in that
direction are wonderful. We!
have learned how to produce and
and now we must learn how to
market oar crops. Therefore or-
ganization is necessary. Our first
attention is to be given to the
marketing of farm products. I
was glad on coming here to find
that Congress had taken a squint
at that great question by making
an appropriation of $50,000 with
which the Secretary of Agricul-
ture is to carry on an investiga-
tion and to acquire and diffuse
among the people of the United
States useful information on the
subjects connected with the mar-
keting and distribution of farm
products.
"Many things have been done
in spots throughout the country
to better conditions among agri-
culturalists. These are to be
studied and knowledge of them
carried to the farmers of all sec-
tions. The vision that comes into
the minds of those working to
develop the rural organization
includes facilities for borrowing
money at a reasonable rate of
interest, good schools, and all
the advantages and conveniences
found in our cities and large
villages."

Against Riding Aftride.
Ct.attanooga, Tenn., May 26.
—The recent official order of
Gen. J. P. Hickman, commander
of the Tennessee division U. C.
V., and grand marshal of the
! veterans' parade, prohibiting
women from riding astride dur-
ing the reunion here has brought
forth many expressions of pro-
test and commendation.
Opposition to the order is be-
ing voiced largely by some of,
the sponsors and maids of honor
affected.
In defense of Gen. Hickman's
order, I)r. A. A. Lyon, of Nash-
ville, secretary of the Army and
Navy Medical Association, to-
day is quoted as follows:
''This unnatural cross-saddle
movement appears but the logical
! outgrowth of the Twentieth cen-
tury agitation among a lot of
| distempered women who are
;clamoring for 'women's rights.'
It is known that Mrs. Nicholas
I Longworth, Mr. Roosevelt's el-
jdest daughter, and Miss Helen
] Taft eschewed the cross saddle
entirely, and if President Wilson
will pardon even the allusion to
his daughters on this subject, I
will wager an imaginary bet of
a five dollar gold piece against
the stump of a cigar that the
public wi'l never have occasion
to associate any one of them
with the cross saddle.
"Women have been encroach-
ing on us poor fellows for years.
They have robbed us of our coats,
shirts, collars, top boots; have
long been tugging at our trous-
ers and I understand they began
a short time ago to tinker with
our socks. But worst of all, they
have jumped astride our saddle
horses. On the occasion of a re-
cent visit to Washington and
New York, I satisfied myself
that the truly refined and ele-
gant ladies of those cities vvho
exercised on horseback rode on
side saddles."
