DEMOCRATS PLEASED

BALTIMORE, June 23.-The com ment of democratic leaders tonight indicated satisfaction at the action of the republicans at Chicago. While some of the more radical stated that Roosevelt running on a progressive ticket might draw from the demo- cratic ticket it was declared that the party had nothing to fear if he was nominated as the progressive candi- date. All agreed that any losses from this cause would be more than offset by damage to the republican cause.
 That a progressive democrat might be asked to run on the ticket with Roosevelt was admitted, but no one here would countenance a suggestion that he would consider Overtures from the Roosevelt camp.
 It was stated that emissaries from the Roosevelt camp would be here next week to watch for an opportune moment for overtures but thus far there is no evidence of any such missionary work and all leaders de- clared they had received no word from the colonefs forces.

The Operation Repeated Yesterday With Great Solemnity; Governor Hiram Johnson the Chief Officiator of Occasion
PARTICIPATED IN BY
 CHASTENED CROWD
Many of Those Present Had Been "Steam Rolled";; the Bandana of "Plain People" the Adopted Battle Flag
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

CHICAGO, June 23.-The progressive party born last night, was dedicated to- day. In the presence of perhaps 500 men, some leaders and others lockers on, the first formal steps were taken Governor Johnson of California was empowered to name a committee O. seven to confer with Roosevelt and formulate a plan of action.
 Here is the birth of a new party said Johnson when this was done.
 'The movement is going steadily on" said J. A. Garfield of Ohio. Those who thing this is a flash in the pan, are sadly mistaken"
 In the opinion of the leaders, the new party enters the field with a formd- able equipment at the outset Tie leaders, however, stated that as to the men who took a conspicuous part in the nomination of Roosevelt. each must speak for himself.
 The attitude of Governor Hadley of Missouri is the chief point of discus sion on this line. The governor left town without declaring himself.
 No definite idea of the plans to be followed can be learned and the lead CTS said it might be several weeks be- fore a program would be decided upon. Johnson, in the meantime will be field marshal and in connection with Roosevelt, he will name a committee of seven to guide the work of organi- zation.
 The colonel will leave for Oyster Bay tomorrow. Today's meeting was held fY, Seated at the table with Johnson, were Governor Stubbs of Kansas, J. A. Gar field, Clifford Pinchot, Medill McCor- mick of Chicago and Senator Clapp of Minnesota. Seated in the room were many delegates to the late national convention, who were victims of the steam rollers" It was stated that nearly every state that sent Roosevelt delegates to the convention was repre- scented at the meeting.
 A bandana handkerchief was adopted as the Roosevelt battleflag" Most of those present were flaming bandanas tied on their arms The bandana, it was explained, stands for the plain people, who ordinarily use 1t.
 Johnson presided Judge Lindsey, OSlnOCFdL OI DeHNeT, Sdlu SuItly tIltsTc can be no more solemn occasion than this We are beginning on Sunday a great new movement. I believe We should begin it by asking the guidance
 of Him for Whom we are here"
 pr. w. H. Nixon, a negre clergyman and Roosevelt delegate who was "steamrolled' arose and began to recite the 3rd Psalm and the whole audience joined in prayer by Nixon. Some be- gan singing America" and in mo- ment all present joined. There was no handclapping, no cheering, no cries of East enl alive Teddy" The solemnity of the occasion which was believed t. be the birth of a new and powerful party impressed itself upon the gath ering and a hush fell over the crowd. broken only by the voice of the speak CTS.

UNFORTUNATE ENDING
 OF AN EVENING DRIVE
One Young Man Seriously Hurt, a Young Lady Severely Bruised;
 Second Couple Agtated

R. D. HudloW, better known as Dick Hudlow, young man of 23, was quite seriously hurt and Miss Emma Faulkner, who accompanied him, painfully bruised through the unavoidable overturning of a buggy on the Yuma road three miles west of town about 1O:3O o'clock last night Later while the young man was being brought to his home, No. 31 South Second street by his friend, Otis DoWden, the horse the latter was driving, stumbled, threw his head to one side and cut a frightful gash in his head on the shaft of the vehicle falling to the ground so that Dowden had to cut the straps of the brldle to release him. Fortunately he was able to continue to the city with the same horse by driving slowly. after ward patching up the harness. In connection with the evenings events in which two young couples figured both the young men lost their coats. HudloW was first released from his perilous position under the overturned buggy by Miss Faulkner, who was later assisted by two MeXicans, who chanced to come along. Hudlow sui fered a severe injury to his back ana it cannot be determined how badly he is hurt until after he has been thor oughly examined by a physician.
 The young ladies are the Misses Elm ma and Elizabeth Faulkner, sisters, who reside with their parents six miles west of Phoenix near the Hassayampa store. They had driven to Phoenix in their fathers buggy and the young men desiring to accompany them home, se- cured aaCther buggy of the center street livery stable. MT. Dowden ana Miss Elizabeth took the Faulkner rig and the other two followed in the llV- cry rig, the plan being for the two boys to return home in the latter, which they subsequently, did but in pretty bad shape.
 About three miles out Dowdens horse was slightly frightened at COW but was easily quieted and the couple drove on The other rig was quarter of a mile behind and when it came op- posite the same COW the livery horse was frightened and turning abruptly threw the buggy over with the driver beneath it. Miss Emma Faulkner who accompanied him fell clear of the ve-

IF
 TOWN OF RAY
It Will Probably Be of Concrete Construction in Conformity With Plans Approved by All Prop erty Owners

J. l.. Gust, who returned from Ray Saturday night says the people of that town propose to rebuild their busi- ness section destroyed by fire last Tuesday morning, just as quickly as they can, but along lines of greater permanence and better fire protection
 As many know, though some do not, the tOwnsite with the exception of eleven lots, is owned by the Ray Consolidated company, which only leased the lots to business men. In such an emergency as this it is well, perhaps, that the property is owned by so few persons for they can CO., operate better and there are so many conditions peculiar to the situation that it is almost necessary for mu- tual protection, that there be hearty cooperation.
 representative of the company and most of the owners of the eleven lots held a conference Friday night It was decided that they would not permit the reconstruction of shacks nor any building termed as class B construction. This might include brick or concrete but lumber houses and similar inflammable materials would not be allowed. There is no town water system or other fire pro- lection save that of building properly and such minor safeguards as anyone can provide on his own property, but if the new buildings are properly put up of brick or concrete the danger of fire beaking out will be far less than it was before and the character of the buildings would give some hope of stopping a fire if one should start. Moreover, with strict rules and all possible safeguards the business men could secure insurance at a more req sOnable rate.
 In this new construction it was de- cided to favor concrete in every pos sibe way. The principal reason is that it is thought concrete construc- ton will be cheaper, through the fact that the company has already built many concrete houses in the camp and the common labor required in such construction is already well skilled in concrete work. To build of brick large number of skilled bricklayers at high wages and perhaps for short duration.
 But whatever is decided upon the new Ray will be a better town than the old one, both in appearance and for actual business conduct, and it's construction will go forward at once.

Bryan People Say That the National Committee Is About Equally Divided Over the Selection of a Temporary Chairman
ELECTION CERTAIN
 SAYS THE CHAIRMAN
Uncertainty As to Ability of the Clark Leaders to Hold All Their Delegates in Line for the New Yorker
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

BALTIMORE, June 23-The demo- cratic national committee will meet here tomorrow to pass upon the selec- ton of Judge Alton B. Parker, tempo rary chairman of the convention. Whom the opposition, headed by Bryan will name for chairman was in doubt tonight. But it is expected that some choice will be made before morning The names of Senator Kern, of In diana; and Representative Henry, of Texas, are most heard in this con nection. Friends of Bryan asserted that the national committee would be about evenly divided, while Chairman Mack sai3 Parker would be endorsed.
 A suggestion was heard tonight that Bryan would be the permanent chair man, but his friends said he is not seeking this honor, though it is ad- mitted that he will be a member of the resolutions committee and play an inn pOrtant part in that body.
 This whole question of temporary chairman" said National Committee man Daniels of North Carolina "is simply a matter of opinion. After it is over. whether it is carried to the floor
 
 will be united"
 The leaders are making every effort to find how the Clark delegates will vote on the Parker matter. Clark lead CTS do not deny that they hope to see Parker made temporary chairman, and also expect the New York delegation to aid Clark in being nominated. One Clark leader stated that until a further stage of the fight is reached it will be impossible to tell what those delega tiOns with strong progressive tenden- cies will do in the temporary chairman ship.
 Many state delegations are not bound by the unit rule and favor several can didates. progressive and conservative. Senator elect Vardaman, Mississippi said that peace was sure to follow the selection of a temporary chairman, and that Bryan is too sensible a man, too good a democrat, to permit such a min or matter as this to bring a serious fight.

Orozco About to Evacuate Chihuahua Sends Word to Huerta Asking That Rebel Garrison Be AL lowed to Protect City
JUAREZ INSURRECTOS
 WILL TAKE TO HILLS
No Fight Is Now Expected at Bachimba; Rebels Are About to Break Up Into Small Mobile Guerrilla Bands
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcH1

CHIHAHUA, June 23.-OrOzcO, the rebel commander has sent to ask Huerta, the federal commander now advancing toward this city with 5000 men, to agree to a policing of the city by the rebel garrison, whose neu- trality should be respected by both sides. Declining to admit that he is contemplating the evacuation of the city. Orozco said today he did not wish to subject the citizens of Chihuahua to the orgies of a fanat ical mob.
 Rebel officials are reticent, but the sending of an emissary to Huerta is generally taken to mean, in connec- tion with other symptoms of disor ganiZatiOn here, that the Mexican revolution will pass within a few days from an organized revolt against the MaderO government into a guer- fila warfare, uncontrolled and ire sponsible
 It was stated here tonight that the JuareZ garrison may be the first to evacuate and begin guerilla warfare. + is practically certain that there will be no big fight at Bachimba as was expected. The rebels may put up a brief resistance, but they will fall back upon Chihuahua destroying all railroad bridges, so as to delay the advance of the federals.
 Efforts to convert into cash gold bullion confiscated the last few days indicated the desperate straits of the rebels. Discomfort in the ranks and also at headquarters is apparent.
 IL, i+ is feared that certain leaders with a grudge will attempt to satisfy it and that a fanatical mob will be turned loose.
 It was with this fear. it is stated, that OrozcO asked to allow the rebel garrison to remain and when the fed erals enter the city. that the rebels be allowed to leave with their arms.
 This despatch escaped the censor ship of the rebel authorities

A PHOENIX GIRL
 WILL BE EARLY BRIDE
Announcement of Engagement of Miss Gertrude Melczer to Gus. L.
 Summerfield.

SOciety's surprises this spring have morning in the announcement of the engagement of Miss Gertrude Melczer, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Louis Melc- ger and Gus L. Summerfield of Los Angeles:
 Miss MelcZer left early in May to pass a fortnight in California. In let ters to friends she explained her con- tinued absence by the general good time being given her, with no hint of her interesting and delightful news to follow.
 She was graduated from Ferry Hall, Lake Forest, two years ago and on the completion of her education passed a year in travel on the continent After a summer at fashionable eastern re- sorts she returned to Phoenix and in October made her debut. Of decidedly attractive manner and pleasing ac- cOmpliSnments, no girl in the exclusive set was more popular this season than Miss Melczer. She has been a favorite guest at all the notable functions and created much admiration as one of the iiiOot Nii'l IliiiS oI IlIc SiOup oI Sil lo who assisted at the smart wedding of Miss Hazel Goldberg and Joseph Melc- ger that took place last February.
 MT. Summerfield is a very successful young business man. He belongs to a pioneer family of prominence in Cali fornia
 MT. and Mrs. Melczer arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and the engagement will be formally announced here this afternoon.
 The date of marriage has not been decided, but will probably be an event of early autumn

INCREASING
 POPULATION
Census in District Number One Adds B 1-3 Per Cent in One Year to Number of Phoenix Children of School Age

It is no news to Phoenix people to say that the school population of the city is growing rapidly, but is is quite startling to announce that it has in- creased 30 1-3 per cent during the past year, and that based on a census last year of approximately 5000 children of school age.
 The taking of the annual school cen- sus has been under way for some time and is not yet entirely finished so the exact figures cannot be given but it has progressed far enough to see that the total will fall in the neighborhood of 4000. As the total last year was approximately 5000 the increase is B 1-3 per cent. Such a percentage would occasion no comment in small district where two, three or a half dozen families could add it without having a great many children, but when one takes 5000 and adds such per centage it indicates some real growth in population.
 Assuming as is sometimes done, that there are five persons in the commun ity for each child of school age it would give the city a population of 10000.
 I liOelllA Has DeeH COul1OHleu NOi- stantly for some years past with an embarrassing problem of providing school building facilities for the rapid ly increasing number of children. When present plans now partly carried out, were first undertaken, it was thought the district had finally got at least one lap ahead of the children and would have no more trouble for few years but if there is to be an annual increase of one-third every year the problem is likely to get bigger all the time instead of growing less and less embarrassing Phoenix will have to stop building business blocks and residences and put all it's money into school houses, for the kiddies must be taken care of.
