ASK FOR NEW PORT
 OF ENTRY AT JUREz

Fl Paso, Tex, May 21.-Messages early this morning from Rollano and Escallon said that the battle had not yet opened between the rebel and fed eral main armies though they are with in three miles of each other.
 The federals last night fired many shots at box cars the rebels released and started down the track in their direction believing them to be loaded with dynamite. They proved to be only empty cars the rebels had turn ed loose as joke. The total numbers in the two contending armies num- Der at least 15,OO0 men.
 No news came to Juarez this morn ing from the 200 rebel soldiers sent yesterday afternoon to attempt to re- take Guadalupe, S5 miles distant from the federals who captured it yesterday from the rebel outposts.
 United States troops are drawn up along the Rio Grande opposite Guada- lupe, awaiting hostilities between the Mexican factions to drive back any de- serters that may attempt to cross into Texas.
 Adjutant General Henry Hutchings, of Texas, arrived here today with an additional company of Texas Rangers.
 If the federals continue to hold Gua1- alupe they will appeal to the United States to accept it as the port of entry and close Juarez, thus starving out the rebels. Guadalupe is 35 miles from a railroad, however, ands would be of no use as a port of entry except to the federals for taking ammunition.

Washington, May 21.-With assur- ances that they will control at Chica- go, the Roosevelt forces today began planning for the organization of the national convention. Little attention is being paid to the action of the na- tional committee in selecting Senator Root as temporary chairman. If he decides to accept the doubtful honor of delivering the keynote" speech, it is probable that he will be one of the most disappointed men at the na- tional republican conventin.
 With the control of the convention, the Roosevelt forces have no idea of allowing any representative of spe- cial privilege to work off any oratory against direct legislation and the very principles for which the nominee of the party will make his post-conven- tion campaign. Whoever delivers the initial address as temporary chairman will be expected to expound the doc trines for which Roosevelt and the progressive republicans of the nation stand, and which will be embodied in the national platform.
 Talk today is that Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota will be selected as temporary chairman and that Gov ernor Hiram w. Johnson of California will be asked to wield the gavel as permanent chairman. Senator Clapp is one of the most conspicuous char acters in the country, and his con- sistent and persistent fight for pro- gressive principles entities him to the leadership. He has a splendid voice which will carry to the extreme ends of the great convention hall.
 Governor Johnson would make an ideal presiding officer and the posi- ton of permanent chairman is regard. ed here as due to California for the remarkable Roosevelt landslide whict that state recorded last Tuesday.
 The possible conflict in this tenta tive program is that Governor John son has been suggested to second the nomination of Roosevelt. The name

Needles, Cal, May 21.-That the ser
 iousness of the Needles river front conditions has been made plain to the
 higher authorities of the Santa Fe,
 was very apparent Thursday when act-
 ivities began on the part of that com
 pany to commence immediately and
 prosecute diligently the work which is
 necessary to protect the property of the company from the inroads of the flood waters of the Colorado river. This past winter the company ex- pended not less than $20,O00 in build ing a reinforced concrete wall with an apron along about $500 feet of the river front. With the arrival of the flood season the work lasted about three days. In fact there seemed to be no appreciable difference in the of the waters than in for mer flood seasons. The concrete be- gan to settle and finally disappeared entirely for nearly the entire dis tance and the banks began to crumble under the action of the water just as they have for centuries past while the river has crept from one side of the valley to the other, varying it's stream bed by miles in the ages it's waters have flowed through this i'm mense valley. The many lakes which lie along each side of the river are but old river beds which the stream has abandoned when it found some easier line of resistance and forsook it's old windings. The stream has the town of Needles near ly mile within the memory of the la- cal residents. It still continues to ap- proach the town and hazards that DOT tion of the city situated north of the Santa Fe tracks.
 A force of. several hundred men, work trains hauling rock and brush, are now busy at the water front, and it is expected that the pile driver will be installed today. Work is go- ing on night and day. Many tons of rock and hundreds of sacks of sand with mattresses of brush are being

Phoenix, Ariz., May 21.-Phoenix if today the center of the good road movement in the United States. She attained that dignity last evening when the Los Angeles Times transcon- tinental pathfinder car arrived in this city. In the car were Bert Smith, au- tomobile editor of the Times; John J. Zak, his driver John Mitchell of Los Angeles, president of the Ocean to Ocean Highway Association and Dell M. Potter of Clifton, national organ. ger for that body.
 Saturday night, Mitchell, Potter and Smith organized branch of the High way Association at Yuma, and the people of that city donated 5000 for work upon the California end of the transcontinental route. Another new branch of the association will be or ganized in this city tonight.
 "The road from Yuma to Phoenix is fine" said Bert Smith, removing another section of burned skin from his beet-red nose. Don't let anyone tell you it is not. From Yuma to Dome, eighteen miles, the road is good And I-want to warn everyone to go straight from Deep Wells, not to go around by the North Star mine"
 Eleven hours and ten minutes was the time made by the Times car over the 206 miles between Phoenix and Yuma. This is the best time ever made over that route by a touring car.
 The road in Arizona is good and the road in California is being made so, according to MT. Smith. Mammoth Wash, which contains that 31s miles of heart-breaking sand that has stop ped so many autos the last few months is being made passable. Charles Big

COL. ROOSEVELT FORCES PLAN
 TO CONTROL CHICAGO CONVENTION

of the former president will be placed
 before the convention by Comptroller Prendegast of Roosevelt's home state, and there has been a general agree ment that the logical man to make the seconding speech would be the Califor- mia executive.
 Former United States Senator, MT. Chauncey Depew of New York arrived in Washington this morning and held a conference with Senator Root. It is thought that he bears message from Chairman Barnes of New York, who is credited with an ambition to name a compromise candidate.
 What is understood to be Justice Hughes positive refusal to even nib- ble at the third candidate bait has re- suited in centering attention on Sen ator Root His selection as temporary chairman of the convention is said to be part of the Barnes scheme to spring his name on the convention at the proper moment as the official dark horse. Certain of Roots friends are urging him to decline the position be- cause of the friction that is certain to develop and Depew's hurried visit is supposed to be to head off this op- position.
 The meeting in Chicago of the com mittee on arrangements and it's an that it will name the tenn porary organization of convention is as nothing more than so much bluff. The convention will nee essarily be called to order either by the acting chairman of the national committee or by someone designated by the committee. But from that mo ment the convention will be it's own boss and whether a temporary chair man named by the national committee will do any more than merely open will be for the convention to determine.
 This will be a convention in which the bosses who control the national will not decide what the pction of the convention will be.

FIVE STRUGGLE ID PRY
 MANIAC FROM WHEEL
HE WAS PUT OFF TRAIN; GOT AN CRY AND GRABBED THE DRIVE WHEEL OF LOCOMOTIVE.

Phoenix, Ariz., May 21.-The hard est tussle ever engaged in by big Jeff Adams and his force of deputy sher- ifs of Maricopa county was his lot Sunday and Monday in handling Frank Tippert, a butcher, who for some time on Saturday terrorized the little town of Hayden, east of here. He was final ly overpowered and taken before Judge Phillips for examination and immedi- ately sent to the insane asylum on Monday.
 The man fought with maniaeal strength, and five of the huskiest men of the sheriff's force were need ed to hold him.
 He first attracted attention while riding on the train from Hayden to Phoenix Saturday and was put off by Conductor Diamond. This so enraged the fellow that he immediately wound dIOuuQ ullNC WACCA OA IAC engine and it took five men 15 min- utes to dislodge him. This was at Higley.
 From the time he was dislodged until the arrival of the Florence-bound train Sunday morning he terrorized the little town. After storming up and down the roads of the place for hours, he finally crept into box car and was nailed in by an intrepid citi- zen. The arrival of Sheriff Adams helped matters out, the man being talk en to Mesa and lodged in jail. At night after another struggle. he was loaded aboard the train for Phoenix and brought to the county jail.

JUNGLE CONQUERED
 FOR THE EXPOSITION.
EXPLORERS FOR SAN DIEGO FAIR
 HAVE UNEARTHED MAYA TEM- PILE WITH HUMUS AND DEBRIS.

San Diego, Cal, May 21.-(Special to The Yuma Examiner). Dr. Edgar l.. Hewett, head of the School of American Archaeology at Santa Fe, New Mexico, and director of exhibits at the San Diego Exposition, has re- turned from Guatemala where he se- cured interesting Maya relics for San Diego's exposition as we'll as data of highly scientific value. A replica of the Maya temple is being prepared for the San Diego Exposition.
 An official report of the results of the expedition will be made June 1st, following the presentation of a paper by Dr. Hewett before the Internation- al Congress of Americanists to be held in London and to which Dr. Hew- cit has been appointed by the state department as delegate from the Uni ted States.
 Dr. Hewett said: "The jungle has been conquered at last, and the humus and debris, which for fifteen or six teen centuries have covered all the traces of the prehistoric Maya civili- zation have been removed. The ex- petition has been conducting excava- tions at Quirigua, which is located in the valley of the Motaga river in the label district of Guatemala Two buildings are completely uncovered and stand out prominently above a rectangular court which has been cleared of undergrowth and tropical vegetation. The ruins now being un- earthed are mute witnesses to the in- domitable patience and religious zeal of a prehistoric people,"
 It is remarkable that prior to the present excavations nothing was done at Quirigua beyond photographing the monoliths and pyramids, whose sculp-. tured hierogliphics are the only rec ords which have come down the cen turies to speak of a prehistoric race.

HIGHWAY BOOSTERS PRAISE ROAD
 REACHING PHOENIX FROM YUMA

elow is at work there with a force o men. Brush, straw and boards are going to be used in building a road bed across the sand. President Mitch ell found where 5000 worth of straw could be bought. In all probability this straw will be purchased and laid on the sand, with oil and gravel te hold it together.
 Seventeen teams are at work be tween Brawley and Mecca, improving that section of the road. All this work is being done for the Oceanic Ocean Highway Association. But the Automobile Club of Southern Califor. mia is not idle. It has already made ar. engagements to placard every foot oi the road between Los Angeles and Yuma. Each sign will bear the name and emblem of the Association.
 Smith, Potter and Mitchell are high in their praises of the people of Yu- ma. A big open air meeting was held in Yuma Saturday night and at that meeting 5000 was raised to add to the sum being expended on the road in California. Later, the travellers were guests at banquet.
 President Mitchell will return to Los Angeles tonight. Mr. Potter will go on with the Times car, which leaves tomorrow morning to organize other branches of the Ocean-to- Ocean High way Association. Smith expects to reach New York before the first of July. From that place the car will be shipped back to Los Angeles.
 No car is being advertised on the pathfinding tour, nor any tires, oil or accessories. The purpose is to prove to the people of the United States that the West is ready to build it's end of the transcontinental auto highway.

sunk into the water and uuicksands along the river directly opposite the city pumping plant of thhe Murphey
 Water, Ice and Light company. Should
 the water reach this plant or the wells which are located between the plant and the river, the water supply of the city will be cut off. The Santa Fe are depending upon this pumping plant for their water supply, also, hence the seriousness of the situation. It is reported that word has come from the higher officials of the Santa Fe system to spare no expense or waste any time in protecting the property of the company and the city. The Santa Fe company is the one organization that can do this work and that they are now about to do it is assured. It means the security of the city. At various times during the past fifteen years petitions have been made to the government to take some action but our representatives in congress, no matter how influential, have failed to impress our legislative body with the seriousness of conditions and the nec- essity of quick action. It was left for the Santa Fe to come to our res cue, not that they are so philanthropy ical as to consider our interests alone, but because their interests are ours and our situation is as serious as is theirs.
 President B. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe was in this city Tuesday on his way from Santa Barbara where he us- ually spends his winters, to Chicago, and with the local officials visited the river front. After clear explanation and understanding the danger whi' n confronted the property of the compa- ny and the city, he at once gave orders to immediately go to work to curb the further inroads of the flood waters. The result is the large force of men and equipment which is now at work and which will permanently stop the encroachments of flood waters of fu- ture seasons.
