Roosevelt asks Delegates-at-
Large Chosen in Bay State
to Give Their Votes to the
President.
TAFT GOT POPULAR
VOTE, HIS REASON
While They Were Legally
Elected as His Delegates, a
Majority of Voters Spoke
for His Rival.
{National News Association)

NEW YORK, May Col. Theodore
today released from their
pledges to support him the eight del
egates-at-large elected in the presi-
Dental primary election in Hassachu-
sets yesterday, because President
Taft received majority of ballots in
the preferential expression on presi-
Dental candidates.
The following statement was tele-
graphed by Col Roosevelt this after
noon to each of the delegates-at-large
who were elected:
"In Massachusetts the ballot con-
tains the names of eight candidates
for delegates-at-large who are pledged
to support me, and it also contained a
column where the voters were to ex-
press their preference whether 1 or
President Taft be nominated for Pres
ident. 1t would seem unlikely that a
majority of the voters would vote for
the majority of the delegates pledged
to me and at the same time express
preference for Mr.. Taft, but this
seems to be the case. and on the as
sumption that the preferential vote
was for Mr.. Taft / hereby announce
that 1 shall expect these delegates-at-
large to disregard their pledges to
support me and to support Mr.. Taft:
and if any one of them hesitates to do
so l shall certainly write to him and
urge him with all the emphasis and
insistence in my power to take the
course indicated, and to support Mr..
Taft in the national convention.
I'm this fight / am standing for Ger
tain principles which, regard as vital
to the present and future welfare OF
this nation.
my success is of value only as an
incident to securing the triumph oi
these principles. Foremost among
these principles is the right of the
people to rule and the duty of repre-
sentatives really to represent them In
nominating conventions no less than
in executive caucuses. If the majority
of the rank and Ale of the Republican
party do not want me nominated, ther
most certainly / do not wish to be
nominated. My wish has been to ge,
the genuine expression of their genu
inc desires precisely as If nominated
l should desire to get at the polls the
genuine expression of the majority OF
the whole people because my only aim
in being elected president would be to
put into effect certain principles and
policies in which ardently believe
and which I'could not possibly put into
effect unless had behind me the hear
ty support of the majority of our citi
zens. .-. .--

HARRISBURG, Pa, May With
the new organization machinery work
ing smoothly, indications before the
convening of the Republican state

Roosevelt faction, led by William
Flynn of Pittsburg, and E. A. Van
Valkenberg of Philadelphia would

tor Boise Penrose admitted that they
were in the last ditch.
According to the program, Mr..
Flynn was to succeed Senator Pen

pledged for Roosevelt, received per-
sonal letter from the Colonel. dated

gressive but not radical and that it
would not criticize harshly any mem
ber of the party.

State treasurer, Robt. M. Young, of
Tioga county; auditor general, Sena-

MEXICO OUTRAGES
T0L0 BY WOMAN
Refugee Pleads for Protec-
ton of Her Sex by
the United States.
(National News Association}

MOBILE, Ala, May 1.-The indig-
mites to which American women are
being subjected, the danger that sur
rounds thousands of men and women
from the United States and other coun-
tries, and the frightful sacrifice of hui
man life in every nook and corner of
Mexico demands that the United
States send relief to her subjects in
that country, and send it quick"
Such is the appeal of Mrs. Bernard
Sweyer, for three years a resident of
chihuahua, who escaped from Mexico
and who has arrived in Mobile en-
route to join her husband, who is now
in Puerto Cortez. Mr.. Sweyer fled from
Mexico q few weeks after his wife had
been spirited out OF the country.
Calls Conditions Dreadful.
II would like to tell you all that
know, but ] can't continued r. Mrs.
Sweyer. Half the truth of conditions
in Mexico has never been told by the
American newspapers: they are SIM
ply dreadful / cannot begin to tell
you the danger to Americans. in par
ticular and foreigners in general Con-
ditions existing throughout the state
of chihuahua are even worse than
during the last revolution.
Thousands of Americans live in
mortal fear of being murdered. There
is no such thing as protection to
Americans and foreigners in Mexico
We were told by the government off,
GERS to flee the country. There was no
delay. for we saw evidence of cruelty
and bloodthirstiness and utter disre-
gard for human life was apparent on
every hand.
Women are no more than dogs to
the average Mexican, and they have
entered homes and killed every mem
Der. The wife would be dragged into
the hills and beheaded Heaven knows
1t is time something was done to save
the lives of the poor foreigners who
have been forced to Mexico to exc out
living.
Declares Outrages True.
Il understand that the Red Cross Is
doing something along that line It is
noble work. but l am afraid that some
more expeditions method should be
adopted. Not half the truth has been
told about the real conditions in Mex
leo. Why the situation now is even
worse than in the recent revolution
and heaven knows it was fearful then.
You say the stories brought out of
Mexico by foreigners are denied? OF
course, they are and by whom BY the
Mexican government. Do you believe
what say? Why should / resort to un-
truth? Something should be done and
that quickly

KENTuCK|AN GIVES
POLICEMAN BATTLE
Fierce Fight Between Officer
Little and H. Compton
Witnessed by Crowd.

"Oh, Babe, go with him and don't
make any trouble for the baby's sake" I"
cried Mrs Harry Compton, as with her
baby in her arms she tried to force her
husband to accompany the arresting
officer. Compton refused to go. saying
he was innocent of wrong doing, and
fought Officer Mort Little for fifteen
minutes last night about 1880 at Sec
ond and Main streets. Little had been
called to the Compton home by neigh
bors, who said Compton was beating
his WIFE
When the officer entered the house
the wife was crying with her little ba-
by in her arms; Compton ordered the
officer from his home, and. as the wom-
an would not prefer charges against
her husband. the officer departed. He
stopped to talk with the protesting
neighbors and Compton came out and
began cursing the patrolman. Little
then seized the man and struggle
ensued. Mrs. Compton holding her ba-
by rushed out and tried to place her
arm around her husbands in an effort
to petsuade him to cease resistance
The mans clothing was literally torn
from his body in the struggle. He ours
ed and raved, and defied the officer to
hit him with his club.
@.n Was Finally Subdued.
A crowd of about $50 curious people
witnessed the struggle Ofiicer wenger
came to Little's assistance and Comp
ton was finally subdued and taken to
Jail in the patrol wagon. - -
The heartbroken wife, with her ba-
by, was prevailed upon to go back to
her home.
Late last night Compton, who was
charged with drunkenness and who
was placed in cell with two other
men, tore a radiator from it's fasten-
ings and the hot steam escaped into
the building nearly choking and scald-
ing the inmates. They were moved to
another CELL The charge of destroying
city property was then placed against
Compton, who plead guilty to both
charges this morning in police court.
He was fined So and costs for public
intoxication and the case against him
for destroying city property will be
tried as soon as he is released fro his
first offense.
Compton is a native of Kentucky.
Asked whether he struck his wife be
said, Il never did strike her and never
viii. for il l can't live with my wife
without beating her I'll leave her"
He admitted drinking beer yesterday
afternoon and in court this morning
lifted his hand and swore OF drinking
in front Of the mayor.
