great crowd was present anxious and
willing to do everything possible for
the family In trouble.
A bucket brigade was quickly form

rect demand that President Taft an
swer the question whether he Is now
seeking TO evade responsibility for the
Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims,
which he publicly and voluntarily
assumed" was made to-day by SEN
ator La Toilette (Repubiican). Of
Wisconsin, In an open letter to Mr..

Mr.. La Toilette charged that the

Of the governments case.
The two bills referred to are de-
signed to transfer the cases to the

lette reviews the action of MIR. Taft
in taking In hand personally these
cases. which formed the basis Of the
CLAWS Pinchot charges against Bal
linger, and points out that he per-
mitted Mr.. PiHehet to file brief with
him.
In part the letter says:
The claimants have had q fair
trial. No error or injustice to them
IL alleged. The evidence establish es
conclusively that these claims were
entered under an Illegal agreement to
combine after title was secured. Both
the documentary and the oral evil
dence In the case proves beyond argu-
ment or dispute that the Cunning
ham entries should be cancelled on
the ground OF fraud
Long ago the secretary of the in
terror announced that he considered
himself disqualified from acting in
regard to the Cunningham case.
1T b easy TO conceive that Mr.. Bal
fingers suhordinates would feel q
serious Embarrassment In deciding

'.But now that you have assumed

binary step OF seeking legislation to

ways accompanied by a young Span
ish nobleman. OF unknown identity, ana
by two specially chosen detectives.
simultaneously with the receipt OF
this information, came an official de-
NAL by the Spanish court that there are
martial differences between Alfonso and
Victoria. THE reports published In
different European papers" the denial
the King and Queen OF Spain and re-
garding the Queens proposal for a
separation are false and catumnious.
The King and Queen are aware that
political enemies have invented these
reports"
The issuance OF this denial was q

could be issued with safety.
Now that the denial has been issued.

skirts of Juarex.
Ell PASo, TEX, Feb. 10.-It u
generally reported to-day that the
Mexican revolutionary junta and 9th
er representatives of Francisco Ma
dero have decided to depose General
Pasqual Orozco from command Of
the insurgent troops in Northern Mex
leo.
The report Is credited in most quar-
tiers, the opinion being that Orozco
has failed to carry out the promises
he gave when he first appeared before
Juarez.
Oroxco's force. which disappeared
from the hills across from the FL
Paso smelter yesterday afternoon, was !.
last reported at Rancho Flores, where
he has effected junction with 800
insurrectos under General Casillas.
Members of the junta assert that
Orozco is merely concentrating his
forces for an attack on the 1000 fed
eral troops under General Navarro.
who We're last reported eighty miles
below Juarez,, but ii Is believed here
that the insurrectos are retreating.
Orozco left when he became con-
WINGED he could not get provisions
from the American side. although, az
ter he reached Rancho Flores, the
junta advised him that United States
Commissioner Oliver here had de-
cided that food could be taken across
the International boundary for the
subsistence Of the revoIutionists
II became known to-day that Gen-
eral Bianco. who, with General SAM
chez, was expected to reinforce Orox-
CO about Juarez for some time, has
been at outs with Orozco, recent
ly even going so far as to refuse point
blank to obey his chiefs orders This
may explain Blanco's hardness In
coming north and probably explains
also Orozco's rather sudden retreat
Other couriers told of recent en-
gagements in the State of Sonora. One
declared that after skirmish near
Sahauripa, $500 Federals Joined the
insurrectos, leaving the entire State
of Sonora practically defenseless. An
other reported that fifty Federal had

forces. The continued successes Of
the revolutionists In Sonora provinces
have greatly cheered the insurrectoe
who now assert that they control
Sonora.
An American arriving here from
Canatea declares that he offered 10
aupply~ piaz with y fessianso or mer.
cenaries, but that General Roster
litsky, commanding there, declared

has ignored every order, and Is an

DIR. J. Tyler Hundley was not con-

two policemen swore that he was
driving the machine at a rate Of twen-
ty-fivs miles an hour.
Policemen Krengel and Tomlinson
said that they had flashed a light on

chasing the car and the speedometers
showed O speed faster by ten miles
than the law allows.
On the other hand, Fontains Jones.
p st. George Cook and O. p. Smith.
who were with DIR. Hundley In the
car, swore that they were not ak
ceeding fifteen miles an hour, and
that when signaled by the policemen
fthey slowed down to lower rate.
But they had not consulted any
speedometers. They were judged the
rate of their speed by guesswork.
Justice Crutchfeld heard the con-
