Chicago, Aug .5.--Met by spec |
ial reception committee of 100 well
known leaders, headed by a big brass
band, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
arrived here today, to personally
direct the launching of the new Ma

leaders of the third party movement
About 1900 delegates from every
state in the Union have arrived for
the convention, and the big conven-
lion hall, ready for the new third
lparty, shows few changes in the ar
arrangements provided for the nation
al Republican convention. Over the
entrance door, however, has been
hung the head and spread antlers of
a big bull moose, taken from the
nickname attached to the new party.
Col. Roosevelt lis the only man
talked of foe the presidential nomi-
nation. Who will be the nominee
for vice president has not been de-
termined. AS generally reported
today, Colunel John M. Parker of
New Orleans, Democrat, will be per-
manent chairman, instead of Sena-
tor A. J .Beveridge of Indiana. Sc
lection of vice president is up for
general discussion, many talking
of a southern Democrat, possibly
Colonel Parker of Louisiana, but
Governor Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia, and Judge Lindsey of Colo

are also mentioned.
Todays program included the op-
ening with prayer, reading of the
call signed several weeks ago, the
address of Mr. Beveridge as tempo
rary chairman, the appointment Of
the committees and the adoption of
the resolution inviting Colonel
Roosevelt to address the convention

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The intense
enthusiasm of the delegates delayed
the opening of the National Progress
sive party convention at the Coli
scum today, every state in the Un-
ion being represented, when Senator
Dixon called the convention to or

short of that which attended the
Republican convention, it neverthe-
less exceeds the widest expectations
of the third party leaders. The num-
ber of women delegates is an limo
vation for national conventions

Washington, Feb. 5--Military prep
arations by the United States for in
ieryention in the Mexican uprising
are this afternoon completed, and, un-
less President Francisco l. Madero
can give the United States satisfac-
tory assurances that Mexico is able to
protect all foreign interests there,
American troops will undoubtedly be
started for the border.
Mexico's answer to President Taft's
utimatum and protestations against
tbe destruction of American property
and mistreatment Of citizens of the
United States in Mexico Is expected
within 4S hours Meantime the depart
ment Of war is rushing preparations
for the mobilization Of troops and or
ders have already been issued by the
war department to have $4,000 men
prepared for an immediate advance.
To reinforce the American line at
FL Paso, Texas, orders will be issued
to the commander at Fort Whipple or
Fort Apache, Ariz., to dispatch a reg

even If American troops are COM
PEELED to invade Mexico. No breach
OF the neutrality law will be toler-
ated, and Positively no firing from
across the border will be permitted.
Following a conference today be-
tween Secretary of War Stimson and

DUMMIES May

San Francisco, Feb. Set was
clearly not the intention OF congress
TO offer government desert lands for
entry to persons who were 10 be
dummies for others, or to those who
had no intention to occupy the land
for the purposes for which II was Of
fered but merely for specuIatin."
That Is the gist of a decision hand
ed down today by the ninth district
In affirming the judgment Of the
lower court against Frank N. and
David N. Chaplin, who were sen-
fenced to serve term OF years for
cOnspiring to defraud the govern
ment OF large tracts Of land in Ore
gOn.
United States District Judge Han
ford, OF Seattle, offered a dissenting
opinion. The defendants claimed
that inasmuch as It is legal to as
sign land entries within 12 days af-
ter filing. II was no longer neces-
sary for the .entryman to have actual
intention Of reclaiming desert lands
when filings made. The appellate
court held the opposite view.
