and declaring that Major Archibald

disaster, was not sent on a mission
to Pope Plus X, President Taft last

He sets forth that he did not well
come the new papal delegate. Mgr
Bonzano, by wireless before the lat
ter reached this country several days
ago.
Referring to his suspension of the
recent order Of Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Valentine, the President
"I did this for the reason that the
commissioner Issued the order for
bidding the wearing of religious garb
by nuns in the Catholic. mission
schools, without awaiting the conclu-
sions of the Secretary Of the Interior
The propriety of this order has now
been made the subject of an open
interest and the decision of the Secre-
tary- of the Interior will soon be
handed down. I say nothing of the
merits OF the controversy except that
the order reversed a condition which
has existed for years and affected

the rebels from complete disaster in
the battle of Conejos. in the most
severe engagement in the second revo-

pursuit.
The insurgent army divided in three
columns numbered more than 1000 men,
and every inch of the lost ground was
contested stubbornly, Bridges were
burned by the retreating rear-guard to
check the advance of General Huerta's
troops.
The federals under General Tellez,

and were in motion before dawn, push
ing steadily northward They have
been ordered to hang to the rebel fanks
under Generals Campo and Campos,
east of the central rebel column to pre-
vent a sudden movement by the
federals.
The federal army numbered several
hundred less than 5000 men when the
days operations were begun, and they

INVASION OF OHIO
BY THE PRESIDENT
BEGUN IN EARNEST
Ten Speeches on Schedule
for First Days Appeal
for Votes.

MARIETTA, Ohio, May 13.--President
Taft, fresh of voice and primed full Of
fighting facts by his conferences with
the Cabinet and political advisers DUR
ing the last two days in Washington,
stepped to his car platform and looked
upon a great crowd gathered at the
railroad station here early this morn
ing and the fiercest ten days Of political
campaigning he ever saw had begun.
Taft planned to dwell chiefly upon
the record of his Administration In his
plea for votes at the primaries a week
from tomorrow and to drop the personal
note which crept into his talks to
southern Ohio audiences last week.
But the colonel will be in the State
this week, arriving tomorrow, and in
the hot scramble for votes II is more
than likely that the one-time friends
will drop into bitter personalities and
character revelations before the week
Is over 1t Is said that Taft will fay
Roosevelt for his attitude in the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron assimilation.
Taft reached here from Washington
at 7:45 a. m. After a short talk he
was off on a schedule that called for
ten speeches before night. BY noon he
had addressed crowds at Caldwell, Cam
bridge, and Newcomerstown. This
afternoon he made speeches at Denni-
son, Uhrichsville, st. Clairsville, Bell
aire, and Bridgeport. The big meeting
Of the day is scheduled for Steuben-

Certainly none Of Us want a return

the head Of the family thought nothing

The expense Of public celebration
should not br borne BY a few public

able should contribute their mite to the
cause. The committee would more ap-

for this is that II y man has invested 81
