in ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Ark. April S.-Reports
from Saturdays Democratic conyen-
tlons held in nearly every county in
Arkansas show that 194 delegates to
the state convention have been in
structed for Champ Clark for presI-
dent, three for Woodrow Wilson and
247 were uninstructed. There are $50
delegates to the state convention and
the reports leave 1856 delegates unac-
counted for.
OF the 247 unlnstructed delegates,
twenty-four are known to favor Clark,
eleven for Harmon and four are for
Wilson.
Managers Of both Harmon and Will
son claim victory because Of the fact
that a majority Of the delegates to the
state convention will probably be un-

PARENTS IS HELD
FOR WH|TESLAYERY
Every Effort Being Made To
Keep Accused's Iden-
tity Secret.

That Robert Allis. the young man
taken into custody by Department OF
Justice agents on Tuesday, charged
with violation of the interstate COM
merce section of the white slave laws.
Is the son of wealthy and influential
Italian family, other members of which
will do everything In their power to
keep secret the prisoners real identity,
became known today when the alleged
white-slaver was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court.
Young Allis was held in 5000 for pre-
liminary hearing, which will be given
him before United States Commissioner
Taylor Saturday morning. According to
the police and Department Of Justice
agents who will appear as witnesses
against Allis. the young man brought
Lucy Hoster to the District of Columbia
from Maryland for immoral purposes.
The young woman was not In court
today as the proceeding of arraigning
the man in the Police Court was merely
for the purpose of holding him in bond
until Commissioner Taylor fixes the real
bond at the preliminary hearing. At
torney d. Edward Clarke appeared for
Allis and declared that he will easily
obtain the acquittal of his client on the
ground that the young Italian was ig,
norant Of the woman's Intentions when
he accompanied her to this city. The
family of the young defendant has al
ready made known its attention to for
ward sufficient funds to fight the
charge against him.

ahead Of aGtes on the bottom step of
the front car of the standing train

CITIZENS CLAMOR

Rebel Band Defeated, With
800 Killed-Outrages

That the depredations and bad con-
duct Of the scattered rebS Sordes in
Northern Mexico have brought them
into disrepute and that '.most of the
peaceable people of Sonora, rendezvous
OF General. Orozco, are clamoring for
Intervention by the United States be-
came known here today.
Delayed kilograms from the northern
section of Mexico reveal shocking con-
ditions. The majority of the insurrectos
at last realize they are fighting a hpe-
less fight an dare now intent only on
looting and pillaging every ranch and
settlement in their path.
Unspeakable indignites are being per-
petrated by the rebels. A band of 1,S00
rebels, who attacked Alamos yesterday,
were defeated and lost more than 300
killed and wounded, quantity of am
munition and scores of horses.
Today It is understood the federals
have surrounded the retreating revo-
lutionists and the War Department is
awaiting confirmation of the news that
the entire rebel band has been wiped
out.
A band of fifteen marauders who had
attacked workmen of the Richardson
Construction Company were pursued
and killed by federals at Babicora.
Seventy rebels who later attempted
to capture Babicora were repulsed. los
ing eleven killed.
Gen. Edgar Il. Steever, who reports
there are more rebels near the border
now than evr bfore, Is keping a. close
watch 70 insurrectos who may take the
notion to cross the Rio Grande In
search of loot.

ceived no confirmation of the report
would meet General Huerta under a
flag of truce at Montezoma, Chihuahua
Friday to discusse the terms under
which Orozco will agree to declare the
revolution at an end
1t Is said Madero suggested this move
rather than be forced to fight a battle
at Jaurez with the consequent danger
Of damaging American interests across
the line In Ell Paso. Governor Colquitt,
of Texas, is taking no chances, how
ever, and is prepared to shell rebels
and federals alike IL El Paso citizens

CHEMISTRY BUREAU
CHIEF WILL NOT Be
NAMED UNTIL FALL
President To Defer Appoint
ment Until He Confers
With Wilson.

An appointment Of chief Of the Bureau
of Chemistry will not be made until
late In September, and possibly not
until October. President Taft has deter
mined not to permanently fll the place
made vacant by the resignation of DR..
II. w. Wiley until after he has had an
opportunity to confer with Secretary
Wilson, of the Department Of Agricul-
ture.
Secretary Wilson left for his home in
Iowa few days ago and will not re-
turn to Washington or the East until
after he has inspected several national
forest reserves. His return is not ex-
pected in less than a month.
Before going to Beverly, Pesident Taft
had a conference with DR.. r. e. Doo-
little, acting chief of the bureau. This
conference took place last Saturday
afternoon, when the President expected
that Congress would adjourn that night
and leave him free go to to Beverly.
Dr. Doolittle today admitted that
there had been such a conference. but
did not discuss It. saying that while he
did not know that there was anything
secret about what transpired, he would
prefer that news of the conference
should be given from the White House.
DR.. Doolittle is regarded as the prob
able successor Of DR.. Wiley.
1t is believed that President Taft will
defer almost entirely to the wishes OF
Secretary Wilson In making the ap-
pointment. This is thought to augur
well for DR.. Doolittle's appointment, az
Secretary Wilson has expressed salts
faction with the existing situation In
