COLONEL'S BUREAU
In JOYFUL MOOD
"Riotous with the Confidence of
Success" Is the Language of
One Statement Issued.

The typewriters OF the Roosevelt
bureau were busy yesterday. First Of all
a statement was put forth that the bull
warks OF the opposition in the West are
tumbling like so many houses of cards"
and that 1.-The Western headquarters OF
the Roosevelt organization is riotous with
confidence OF success" According to this
statement the Taft organization in ILL
nois is in a dilemma, because IL II agrees
to a Presidential primary, ordered by the
court, the result will be a tremendous
victory for Roosevelt, while IL Il tries TO
prevent the primary by an injunction 1t
will demonstrate that II is afraid to go
before the people.
1t Is also asserted that Taft does not
seem TO have a chance in Minnesota, and
that similar situation exists in MiChi-
gan. In Indiana the Beveridge organiZa-
ton is doing "heroic work." while in
Kansas "the Taft men have thrown up
their hands completely in all except two
districts" North and South Dakota are
accredited to Roosevelt. and even in Colo
rado. which is said to be the only Rocky
Mountain State in which there is any
Taft fight at ALL the Roosevelt followers
are reported to be full of hope.
The Roosevelt bureau also regarded as
a victory the declaration Of Gov. Colds
borough, OF Maryland, that he favored a
Presidential primary. and II was asserted
that II the law is passed the entire Mary
land delegation will be for Roosevelt.
There was also humorous comment upon
"the merry hornpipe" which the Federal
officeholders are dancing to the admins
tration's music. and an uncomplimentary
analysis Of the personnel of the recent
Taft meeting in Pittsburg.
Ex-Representative Ziba T Moore, one
of the Roosevelt leaders in Pennsylvania.
was quoted as follows:
Col. Rooseyelt's followers will elect
three-fourths Of the delegates TO the Re-
publican State and national conventions
from Philadelphia. We will elect the
State and national delegates in the
Fourth. Fifth and Sixth Congressional
districts. and possibly in the Second. and
we will elect some delegates in the other
districts"

MADERO DEFIED
BY 5000 CITIZENS
President Warned Not to Appear
or Speak During Parade
Through Mexico City.

Mexico City. March ia COMMITTEES
representing 5000 citizens, who nave
planned n great parade for next Sunday,
addressed a letter to President Madero
this afternoon. declaring that the dem
onstration was not for him. but for the
national government. and requesting him
to refrain from appearing on the bal
comics or making speeches when the
parade passed.
Madero replied Immediately. saying:
IF 1 do not make a speech to you there
will be no parade. The police have been
ordered to stop the demonstration and as
a result trouble is expected
The government regards the action OF
the United States in barring arms and
ammunition from export into Mexico as
unfriendly 10 the Madero government. as
IL prevents the latter. as well as the
rebels, from securing the munitions of
war. The Mexican people consider the
Taft proclamation as the first move to-
ward Intervention as II prevents the
troops from sscuring arms with which

May Strengthen Patrol.
While customs officials are busy enforc-
ing the Presidents proclamation prohibit
ing the shipment Of war material into
Mexico. II is likely that the United States
army may be called upon within the next
few days to strengthen its patrol along
the Mexican border. For this purpose IL
was indicated at the War Department
yesterday that the cavalry would be the
first called upon, owing TO its rapidity OF
II was stated at the War Department,
however. that II Is not the duty of the
army to enforce the customs laws, such
as inspecting shipments through regular
channels, or TO prevent smuggling. which
comes under the customs forces OF the
Treasury Department and thes pecial
agents OF the Department OF Justice. II
was stated. towever. that the army could
be used under the law. as II has been up
to the present time. for the purpose of
the movements Of armed bands
along the border and to prevent them
from crossing from one country into the
other.
The effect Of this patrol is to prevent
or revolutionary expeditions
making their way out of the United
States into Mexico. So far the War De-
partment has taken no steps in the mat
ter, awaiting Developments. In the mean
ime the Treasury Department, with the
a assistance OF the Department of Justice,
is revising the customs regulations to
meet the resolution as passed by Con-
gress. which in reality amends the neu-
trality laws.
There appeared to be some doubt among
these ociaf1ls whether this law. under

FOR
BANNER EPISODE


BALTIMORE, July IA personal apol
ogy was made to william j. Bryan by
former Governor David r. Francis oi
Missouri, who said he was not in the
convention during the afternoon when
Clark adherents placed in front OF the
Nebraskan n banner inscribed with Mr.
Bryan's former eulogistic estimate OF the
speaker. Mr., Francis said the action
OF the men handling the banner was an
indignity and expressed the opinion that
1t would not have happened had he been
present.
Although Clark was known TO have
motored to Baltimore from Washington
early In the day and TO have remained
at the home OF a friend for several hours,
he did not appear at any political rem
devious tonight,
II was said there had been no con-
ferences between the candidate and his
managers except by telephone. The
speaker was reported as greatly grieVed
because of Mr. Bryan's attack upon him
and to be in a highly nervous condi-
tion.

Peerless One Crestfallen.

The corners OF Mr. Bryans mouth went
down half an inch on each side, He had
not expected this lie looked at James
and opened his mouth James upraised
huge hand and continued TO frown.
Utterly crestfallen the man who has
never yet failed of chance TO make
the steps. having first cast ahead of him
a precautionary glance to make sure that
a line of police was between him and the
jeerlng gentlemen from Missouri,
As he reached the floor young Bennett
Clark. the slender son of the speaker,
shook his fist at Bryan and hissed some
thing in his ear. Perhaps 1t is just
as well what he said was lost IN the
storm of taunts and boots and boos
which supplied the marching music for
Mr.. Bryan's detected parade to his
seat.
Glad to be upon another subject, the
chairman turned TO Mayor Fitzgerald,
