MADERO FORCED TO RELINQUISH OFFICE
Men Believed Loyal to Mexican President Tarn Against Him and Arreat Him. President Madero, of Mexico, Is under arrest. His refusal to resign when asked to do so by the senate after he had failed to put a stop to the rebellion after ten days’ fighting in the city of Mexico, culminated In a coup in which General Blanquet took an active part, and Madero and his cabinet and family were placed under arrest and General Huerto was made provisional president. The action is said to meet the sanction of the rebel leader, Felix Diaz, who has signified his willingness to stop the fighting and to try to restore peace In the city and country. Walter White came yesterday afternoon and remained until this Afternoon. He came from Colorado Springs on the sad mission of bringing his son, Walter, Jr., back to Wilmington, 111, his old home, for burial. Mr. White was away from home when his son died. The lad had been in very good health except that he had suffered a little kidney trouble since the first of the year. On Wednesday evening- of last week he had suffered a slight attack and the family physician was called. The boy did not seem to be in a serious condition and no fear for him was entertained. He retired at about 9:30 o’clock and at about 1:30 awakened and his mother raised his head to adjust the pillow beneath it The boy put his arms about her neck to assist himself in rising and sank back on the pillow Into instant death. He would have been 15 years of age last Sunday, Feb. 16th. The body was shipped to Wilmington, 111, Friday and the funeral occurred In that city last Sunday. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. White and hie death has been a very sad blow to them. They have two daughters, Helen, aged 18, and Margaret, aged 16, who will be remembered, as will the boy by many Rensselaer people Walter went to Lowell this afternoon and will go from there to his home at Colorado Springs.
