THE POLITICAL SKY.

St. Paul, Mimi, May 13.-Colonel
Roosevelt has carried every district in
Minnesota except two, according to
the latest figures on the primary cleo
ton, and he will have twenty and
probably twenty-five of the states "a
delegates in the national convention
at Chicago. Complete figures on the
primary results will not be available
until late today.
Marietta, Ohio, May 13.-President
Taft, fresh of voice and primed full
of fighting facts by his conference
with the cabinet and political advis-
ers during the last two days in Wash
ington, stepped to his car platform
and looked upon great crowd gath
cred at the railroad station here early
this morning and the fercest ten days
of political campaigning he ever saw
had begun.
Taft planned to dwell chiefly upon
the record of his administration in his
plea for votes at the primaries a
week from tomorrow and to drop the
personal note which crept into his
talks to southern Ohio audiences last
week. But the colonel will be in the
state this week, arriving tomorrow
and in the hot scramble for votes it is
more than likely that the one-time
friends will drop into bitter person
alities and character revelations be-
fore the week is over. 1t is said that
Taft will fay Roosevelt for his at
titude in the Tennessee Coal and Iron
assimilation.
Taft reached here from Washing
ton at 7:45 a. m. After short talk
here he was off on schedule that
called for ten speeches before night.
By noon he had addressed crowds at
Caldwell, Cambridge and New Com
erstown. This afternoon he made
speeches at Dennison, Uhrichsville,
St. Clairsville, Bellaire and Bridge
port.
The big meeting of the day was
scheduled for Steubensvile.

R|CHE5ON' : LIFE
IN THE BALANCE.
SLAYER of Avis Linnell Again Submit
ted to Grilling
Test.
THREE ALIENISTS FATIGUED.
Should Condemned Man Be Declared
Sane, He Will Be Electrocuted
Shortly After Midnight Sunday.

Boston, May l3.-Rev. c. Y. T.
Richeson, Avis Linnell's slayer was
again today submitted to a gruelling
test by Doctors Stedman, Frost and
Tuttle, in the Music room of the
sheriff's residence at Charles street
Jail. Todays tests were similar to
those to which the ministermurderer
was subjected in yesterdays nine
hour, examination.
The three alenists showed signs Of
fatigue when they called at the Jail
today. Richeson showed none. He
had slept well last night and after a
hearty breakfast this morning, walked
checrily from his cell to the music
room in company with two guards who
attend him day and night.
1t is expected the reports of the
three alienists with those Of Doctors
Prince and Briggs, will be thorough
" gone over by Gov. Foss this even
ing. On these reports will depend
the governors determination to re-
commend enency for Richeson to his
Executive Council which meets We'd
nesday. If the majority of the alien
lists say Richeson is sane, the eX-
Baptist minister will die in the chair
shortly after - o'clock next Sunday
night
There is little likelihood Richeson
will be transferred to the death cell
at Charlestown prison before Tues
day morning. Fear ola nervous re-
lapse may prevent his removal be-
fore Sunday evening. In the mean
time Warden Bridges Of Charlestown
prison today began his gruesome
preparations for receiving Richeson.
The death cell was put in order. To
prevent any possible "untOward ev-
ent". during the execution, the wires
through which will pass the death
current were completely zone over and
the current thoroughly tested.
A selected jury Of - citizens as
witnesses for the state, two special
lists to be selected by Warden Bridges,
and the warden himself, will attend
the execution Warden Bridges, in
whom full authority is vested. may
decide not to permit representative
of the press to attend. All these ar
rane:ments we're started today, des-
pite a scant possibility that Richeson
may never enter the death room.

TO TAKE MATTER TO CONGRESS
Decision Will Be Taken TO the Su.
preme Court of the United States
Case Financed by Non-Socialists.

indianapolis, ind, May 13.-The
right of federal Judge to revoke the
citizenship Of any man who has sworn
allegiance to the American flag over
shadowed all other issues of the So
cialist National convention today.
Federal action was promised by Con
gresham Victor Berger, of Wiscon-
sin. He supported the delegates al
igned behind the movement to compel
Judge Cornelius II. Hanford, who On
Saturday revoked the naturalization
papers of Leonard Olseen, to recall
his decision orr to face impeachment
proceedings in Washington. AS soon
as Berge reaches Washington, he
says he will take the decision upon
the floor of Congress. Never before
has jurist attempted to say whether
alleged mental reservations could be
utilized to revoke citizenship, say the
Socialists. They have received nume-
rous letters and kilograms from both
Democratic and Republican leaders
rendering support in legal battle to
prove from the allegation that Han
ford permitted his personal prejud-
ices to rule the decision.
The decision will be carried to the
Supreme Court of the United States
and the financing of the legal battle
will be taken care of by men
who have no sympathy with Social
ism.
1t is already admitted that if the
ruling is permitted to remain unchans
ell any foreign born citizen, no matter
how long he may have voted in this
country, endangers his citizenship
should he publicly admit that he fav-
ors direct legislation. The allegation
was freely made here today that Han
fords decision was due entirely to
his opposition to the judicial recall;
that he believed in ruling OLSEN out
as citizen, he would curb the agi-
,ation for judicial recall in many of
. the western communities where the
sforeign born citizens predominant.
4 4 feature of today's session was
Sthe presentation Of the reports of the
committees and the permanent officers
of the Socialist: organization.
Candidates for the presidency will
be nominated on next Friday. Today
it was accepted by the delegates that
the fight would be between Eugene Y.
Debbs of Terre Haute, who does not
want the nomination but is admittedly
the overwhelming choice of the party
at large. and is opposed by the party
bosses, William D. Haywood, of Den
YER, representative of the militian ele-
ment of the Industrial Workers job
Hartman, of Los Angeles and former
Mayor Seidel of Milwaukee.

Or0zc0 Defeated and Driven Back
From His Advance on
TOrreOn
RESULT OF u HOUR BATTLE.
General Order TO All Rerolutionists
10 Mobilize at Relanno Federals
Will Press Another Battle.

FL Paso, Tex, May 13.-Defeated
and driven back from his advance on
Torreon after 12-hour battle during
which more than five hundred were
! killed and wounded on both sides, Gen.
Orozco established rebel headquarters
at Rellano today and will await the
arrival of reinforcements before MAX
ing another move against the fed
erals.
A general order summoning all rev
olutionists to mobilize at Rellano has
been issued by the rebel leaders.
Following the victory yesterday, how
ever, it is not believed the rebels will
rest with their partial advantage but
press OroZco and probably force him
into battle again Immediately. In
such case the overwhelming defeat Of
the rebels is predicted.
The fighting on the plains between
Conejos and fermo yesterday was
the most severe Of the war. a couri-
er reported that Gen. Trucy Aubert.
the federal commander, was shot in
the leg. The rebels abandoned the
field leaving their dead and wounded
behind and also cannonS and much
ammunition in their fight. After
the engagement the field was strewn
with the dead and dying.
Two rebel generals were missing
early today. Generals Campo and
.Artugumcdo were sent to the east to
flank the federals, but were out gen.
eraed and at late hour last night
had not yet joined the main command.
The rebels abandoned their positions
at three o'clock and it is believed Cam
pa and Artugumedo may have been
captured.
Gen. Orozco admitted his defeat
last night, claiming that the superior
artillery of the federals was RESPONSE
Bile. He claimed, however, that with
reinforcements he would be able to
regain his lost ground.
Reports from the Federal camps in
dicate that the fight may be renewed
at any hour. Gen. Tellez is said to
have been sent eastward to flank the
rebels and Gen. Huerta, who is IN
command claims that he is succeeded
completely in his movement and that
the rebels are surrounded and all re-
treat is cut off. The fedeals have not
succeeded however, in closing the
road to Escalon, the rebel base. and
is is expected Orozco will endeavor
to reach there for final stand. For
tifications have been thrown up and
determined resistance could be made
by the revoutionists.
