Roosevelt Tells Illinois Far
mers Taft's Manager Is
Arch Reactionary.
HAT STILL In THE RING

Fort Wayne, Ind. April S.-Through
the "enemy's" battlefields in Illinois and
Indiana, Col. Roosevelt fought his way
to-day, taking hot shots at the Taft
campaign warriors. The former Presi-
dent savagely bombarded Representative
Mckinley. the Presidents national man
ager, in speeches in McKinIey's own dis
trict I'm Illinois, holding up TO ridicule
Nc cKinIey's insistence in telegraph letters
sent broadcast to the Illinois farmers
that he Is a progressive. He's the arch
type of reactionary,' shouted Roosevelt.
He is with the crooked interests and
the BOSSES"
The Colonel prodded President Taft for
his reciprocity effort, telling the farmers
that while he favored reciprocity. the
particular character of treaty the Presi-
dent wanted was not to be sanctioned.
This was Roosevslts first reference to
reciprocity in his ?reconvention carapaign
In the heart of he Mckinley dnmain
Roosevelt excoriated Senator ioriIneI as
Jackpot politician and pressed his
characterization of all the Taft leaders
as bosses working with the corrIpt
privileged interests. ROosevelts sW:ng
through the Mckinley district was the
most spectacular OF his trip through the
South and West. Immense crowds turned
out TO hear him.
We'll look to Illinois to set the key
note of this campaign" said the Colonel
to the crowd at Clinton just after break
fast. Illinois stands in the most i'm
portant position Of any State in the cam
paign."
Nation Is Watching.
You get out and vote he urged upon
the farmers. THE administration lead

holders dominate the Southern conven-

the interests OF private privilege. which
are against you. Now YOU must vote in
your primaries for the side that is night

what you do tomorrow

farmers.
Very good returned the colonel. Il

In Urcle Joe Cannon's home town.
DanvilIc. the former President voiced
his determination to stick in the fight
TO the finish. Holding up his broad

maSsed in the public square, the former
President exclaimed: Here IL is. my

In the ring.
The crowd gave wild cheer, and
Roosevelt. nOdding his head, cried out:

CABINET CONFLICTS
 ON COFFEE TRUST
SECRETARY KNOX DISAGREES WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL
 IN BRAZILIAN SUIT.

Washington, May 2S.-Secretary Knox has recommended to President Taft that the civil antitrust suit against the coffee trust be with drawn because of possible complica- tions with Brazil This disagreement in the cabinet between the secretary of state and Attorney General Wick ersham as to tho propriety of attack. ing the Brazilian valorization scheme in American ports became known to- day
 President Taft, however, has not yet accepted the suggestion and tne attorney general continues his prepa- rations to pursue the matter in tbe courts. AS the issue centers about a foreign state, Secretary Knox re- gards tic problem as one for settle ment by diplomacy and not for treat ment in the United States courts. He represented to the presiden: that international courtesy should direct the American government to retract it's steps and dismiss the court pro- ceedings.
 The attitude of MT Knox was known to Senor De Cana, the Bra zilian ambassador, when he caustical- ly criticised the course of the de- partment of justice at the Pan- American banquet in New York last night. In all probability it is said no official notice will be taken of the South American ambassadors re- marks. Neither the attitude of the state department nor the denial by the New York circuit court of the gov ernment's motion for a temporary injunction restraining any disposi- tion of the coffee stored in New York is deterring the department of justice where 1t is declared the case will be pushed to conclusion.
 It is maintined by the government attorneys that the fact that for which are alleged to be Illegal of fers for protection to those who carry them out in this country.
 Attorney General Wichersham ex- pressed the belief that the govern ments interests would not suffer from tine action Of the New York eircnit court today. He said it Is hardly probable that in the face of ihis suit the coffee will be sold subject to snch restrictions as the bill charges have been imposed on previous sales.
 It was intimated at the department of justice that should the coffee be disposed of in such manner as the governments petition denounces as being in violation of the sherman law criminal proceedings might fol-

 Indications at l a. m, were that Colonel Roosevelt would carry three or four Of the other districts and capture at least 22 of the 2S dele- gates. 4

PROTECTION
 IS JUSTIFIED
MILITARY AND NAVAL PREcAu TONS IN CUBA BELIEVED TO
 HAVE BEEN TIMELY.
Threats Against Railways and Other Interests by RebeIs-News from the Seat of Disturbances
 is Very Meager.

Washington, May 2S-Precautions
 taken to protect American and other
 foreign interests in Cuba have been
 amply Justified in the judgment of the state department, based upon re-
 ports received from many sources and especially from the owners of plantations, mills and mines. The situation at Guantanamo is said to be improving.
 One fact, vindicating the state de- partments action in asking for naval protection of American interests. is the threatening attitude of the rebels According to information, apparently reliable, that comes to the depart ment, the insurgents are becoming desperate and Estonez, their leader declares if President Gomez does not obtain the repeal of the Morua law prohibiting the organization of q strictly negro party in Cuba, he and the other leaders will demand con tributions from the railroads and from the owners of estates, in order to prolong the conflict, and will de- stroy the property of those who re- fuse. In the meantime, bands of ne gloes in the unprotected sections of the Guantanamo district continue to steal horses and pillage small stores. The state department hopes that i'm mediate and energetic measures on the. part of the Cuban government wilI suffice to quell the revolt and prevent further depredations.
 Ut is realized it is not easy for fsflc Ia frsra N< 1 |, els, who are familiar with every trail inl the jungle, who invariably scatter bffore a superior force only to as- s9mble at another point, and who can e1sily live on the country with the l4d o3 little sugar cane and wild 'rIuit.H It is recalled that the Span al z spent ten years in the pursuit N these bush rangers without much success but it is believed the veter- ans in the employ of the Cuban gov ernment with their own knowledge Df tropical jungle fighting will be able tG deal more successfully with this element.
 As the idea has been preached that the rebels are calculating on making an easy escape from Cuba to other NFtoA laNtdit iCltibabs GiOhAu llCJ O1 too closely pressed it is proposed by some of the naval officers here if they are called uDon to take an ac- tive part in the troubles to cut off the retreat of such fugitives by thor ough boat patrol of the eastern coast of Cuba.
 The celerity with which two whole divisions of the Atlantic fleet re- sponded to the call for naval dem onstration in the southern waters has not attracted the attention it de- serves. in the opinion of the navel officers here. As matter of ssct, they declare. this probably was the speediest and most effective bit of naval mobilization ever carried out on SO large scale in this or any other country As Illustrating the ef- ficiency ofkmodern scientific meth ods of warfare it is pointed out that after council by Secretary Meyer with his aides. the whole movement was directed by two officers in the navy department. Admiral yreeland and Captain Potts, by long distance tele- phone and the use of only one or two radio and wireless messages.

Fight Now up to National conven- tlon--Woodrow Wilson Controls Democratic State Convention
 at Houston.

Fort Worth, Tex, May 2s.--The Roosevelt-Taf fight in Texas resulted today in the holding of two conven- tions here, the Taft followers refus- ing to participate in the state con yentions where the Roosevelt forces dominated. Each convention elected eight delegates at large to the Re- publican national convention, with alternates and electors and each en. dorsed it's favorite state and nation al leader, the Taft supporters includ- ing II. F. MacGregor in its endorse ment for national committeeman and the Roosevelt convention offering it's support to Cecil A. Lyon.
 Lyon, who is now national commit teeman from Texas, is leader of the Roosevelt forces in Texas, and MT MaeGregor is the presidents cam paign manager in the state.
 The Roosevelt convention which held forth at the place chosen by the executive committee for the state convention, claimed 169 counties, of the 249 were presented with vote of 171h, in the first poll taken. The Taft supporters claimed to have 203 counties represented with vote based on a representation of one vote for every one hundred votes cast for President Taft in 1908, of 1.014.
 One of the purposes of the conven- tion held by the Taft men was to establish this basis of representa- ton. The leaders contend that the apportionment made by the execu- tive committee, which allows one vote for each of the 249 counties in the state, with the exception of three, which are given two votes each, is unfair. By this calculation, they con tend a county which has less than one hundred votes and the same rep resentation as county with 2,00C votes, This feature will figure large ly, they say in their fight to be made for recognition by the national con yention. The Roosevelt followers say the apportionment of votes is made in compliance with the Terrill election law.
 The convention controlled by Roosevelt delegates boasted much larger attendance than the Taft con- vention. It was generally expected this morning that the Taft delegates would appear in the regular conven- tion and make their fight on the floor.
 Before the time came for the open. ing of the convention this morning, however, the Taft cohorts were marching down the street to another hall By noon both conventions had perfected their temporary organiza- tions and were proceeding with the business before them.
 The Roosevelt convention adopted the majority report of the executive committee on temporary roll
 The Taft meeting adopting a minor ity report signed by two of the com mittee's 31 members
 The Roosevelt leaders were will ing to concede only about 40 coun- ties to the Taft convention, passing their claims on the poll which showed 171k votes with Al counties report ed to have no conventions. There were, however, a number of counties which had their votes split by the seperate conventions. Some of the delegates who attended the Taft con vention early in the day returned to the Roosevelt convention later.

Wilson controIs conventIon.

Houston, Tex, May 2S-A solid delegation of 40 delegates instructed for Woodrow Wilson was elected to the national Democratic convention tonight by the Texas Democratic presidential convention. The dele gation Is composed of eight delegates at large and 32 district delegates. The Harmon forces made one test of strength on district delegates and were defeated 542 to 156. Cato Sells of Cleburne was elected Democratic national committeeman.
 The convention adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning after elect ing the Baltimore delegates. The platform is the order of business to- morrow.
 Demonstrating what it's members call real political upheaval in Texas, the Woodrow Wilson majority in the state Democratic presidential con- yention here today took complete control of the convention. At 6 o'clock the Wilson caucus slate for permanent organization was adopted and recess taken until o'clock when the program was the election of 40 delegates to Baltimore (32 delegates district and 43 at large), and the adoption of a platform.
