Call For Armed Intervention

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 25, 1913:
Texas and Kansas Ask for Punishment of Madero's Slayers.
    AUSTIN, Tex. Feb. 24.— A resolution, providing that Texas go on record as demanding intervention outright, and another insisting that the United States terminate "outrageous conditions now existing in Mexico," were introduced in the Texas Senate to-day. Neither has been acted upon.
    Gov. Colquitt is planning to send a special message to the Legislature asking special appropriations to police the border. The Governor said to-day that he thought the advice of President Taft in the Mexican situation "had been bad."
    The Governor received a telegram today informing him that the Federal troops will move back into their former positions along the Rio Grande in the Big Bend section of Texas. This region, embracing about 200 miles of border, was left unguarded by a recent movement of the Federal troops inland.
