CLASH OF AUTHORITY
OVER NEUTRALITY LAW

Washington, March 9.-An issus
has arisen between the customs and
army officers along the Mexican bor-
der, raising again the question OF
whether the proclaimed neutrality OF
the United States will permit the ex-
portation of munitions of war to the
rebel town of Juarez
The difference Is based upon the
construction of the neutrality statutes
and was brought to light through the
seizure by the army at III Paso. Texas,
of consignment of arms and ammu-
milton under the belief that 1t was
destined for the insurrectos.
The army officers on the border.
pointing that they are charged with
enforcing neutrality, maintain that
munitions OF war should not be per-
mitted to go across, especially II they
seem certain to fall into the hands OF
revolutionists.
President Taft decided during the
Madero revolution--and that decision
recently was affirmed by the depart
ments of state, justice and treasury
that the United States could not in
terfere with legitimate commerce In
arms and ammunition or anything
else.
The treasury department has in
structed the FL Paso collector of Gus
toms to make n report on the seiz-
ure II Is likely that the whole ques-
tion VIII be reOpened.

mind to take the stump and person
ally make the Tight for the presidential
nomination. He said today he prob
ably would be forced to. although he
has been reluctant to decide upon
such course.
Since the day of Colonel Roosevelts
announcement he has been urged by
supporters in almost every state. eS-
cept in the south, to make a speech

resented to him that In several states
the voters were In doubt and that II
he would appear before them the re-

Governor Stubbs. of Kansas. sent a
message yesterday urging the colonel
to make addresses in Kansas, Michi-

states In which the Roosevelt leaders
believe there is the best chance fof

Colonel Roosevelt said he would not
object to making few speeches, but
that as soon as he accepted any In

others pressed upon him and might
find II difficult TO refuse. In addition
TO his scheduled speeches. he has been
obliged on his trips in the past u
talk from his train to crowds at the

probably would be necessary for him
to do so. lie will probably make his
first speeches soon. owing to urgent
requests to act quickly.

BERNALILLO DELEGATION
DECLINES TO BE BOUND

When the progressive convention met
at 1890 a. m, the situation was
quietly tense. There We're no raised
voices, no defiant epithets no talk
of standing out against the stand-pai
| overtures. This was due to tive
facts. First. the regular convention
had made good and sent its delega-
tion of five from regular convention
to meet a similar committee of five.
They awaited in an ante-room and,
figuratively speaking. not only had the
branches but bottle of olives In each
side pocket. The second. and more
serious reason, that the more radical
heads among the progressives Were
quiet, was that the Bernalillo delega-
tion, under the leadership of Gillen-
water. held "a caucus. As that county.
through it's leader. was turned down
Friday night there was fear IL might
go so far as to bolt the convention and
join the stand-patters.
Former Governor Otero quietly
moved a recess until the Bernalillo
delegation should come in from its
caucus. which was moment later.
Mr.. otero then read the resolution
