democrats with playing politics and

dictment brought a mild sensation
when Senator Rayner declared
against Mr.. Pomerene's amendment

Primaries In Arizona.

Phoenix, Ariz., May 29.-Early vot.
ing in the democratic presidential
preference primary today was fairly
heavy throughout the state. Clark
sentiment apparently was much
stronger than that for Wilson and the
managers of the Missourian's cam
paign were confident of winning the
entire state delegation to the Balti-
more convention. The Harmon vote
was negligible. In the absence OF
statewide primary for preference
between Roosevelt and Taft, both
factions of the democrats made
charges that the other side was us
ing both republican and socialist
votes.

The colonel was greatly elated at

Chihuahua, Mex, May 29-Through
traffic ON the Mexico Northwestern
has been stopped temporarily on ac-
count of the burning Of bridge by
group of Maderistas near Santa
Ysabel. The last train over the bridge
was fired upon but none was injur-
ed. The Maderistas in that section
appear to have no organization. They
are persons living in that part of the
state who explain their espousal OF
the governments cause by the state
ment that it is useless for them to
continue in their efforts to produce
crops with the revolution in progress.
Most of the mines in that district
viii be closed by the end of this
week. In the field there has been
no material change in operations, the
rebels continuing their mobilization
at Bachimba, and the fesleraIs the
repair of bridges north of Jimenez.
Intimating that the revolutionary
authorities may be unable to restrain
the populaces in its indignation when
it realizes the extent of the assist
ance beine hgIS en- the Mexican govern
ment in its fight against the rebels,
General Orozco and his fellow offic-
ers have protested formally to Mar
ion Letcher, consular representative
of the United States, against the at
titude of the American government
in permitting Mexican authorities o
recruit and equip soldiers north of
the international boundary. The pro-
test has been been ordered published
widely in both Spanish and English
It is directed to Madero and to the
United States. After a recital in de-
tail of many instances in which the
American authorities have aided the
Madero government, especially in
permitting Consul Llorente at El
Paso to recruit and equip men for the
body commanded at Ojinaga by Cen
eral Sanjinez and the failure of the
authorities to turn back federals de-
feated at Guadalupe, when few
swan the river to safety, it is inti-
mated that there exists between Ma
dero and the government at Washing
ton some agreement regarding huge
recompense.
1t is suggested that possibly the
government was promised some
concession in the nature of land hold
ings. Back of all is the fact that the
American government has crippled
seriously the rebels by its stringent
application of laws preventing the
importation of ammunition. The reb-
els characterize the attitude. as emil
nently unfair. Madero in the pro-
test is styled a traitor and the Amer
lean government is accused of as
Stunning an attitude that is little
short Of Intervention Attention is
called to the fact that heretofore the
revolutionary authorities have given
every guarantee of safety to foreign
ers and especially Americans, and
such guarantees are still promised
but with reservations.
1t is suggested that in some cases
the populace might become so in
censed as to take revenge on Ameri-
cans and that in some cases the au-
thorities might be unable to furnish
restraint, in which the declaration is
made that the revolutionary authori-
ties will not consider themselves re-
sponsible.

that the committee would be for
Taft. Talk of detection among south
ern delegates pledged or instructed
for Mr.. Taft was revived today, but
Mr.. Taft's political advisers professed
to believe these delegates would
stick to him to the end.
It was positively stated that the
presidents name would be presented
to the convention no matter what
happened and that this would bear
out the statements be made months
ago that nothing but death" would
keep him out of the fight. Mr. Taft
is interested now particularly in, the

Headquarters In CHICAGO.

The Washington headquarters Of
all the republican candidates will
close this week and managers and
their assistants will establish them
selves in Chicago Monday for the
opening of the battle before the ma
tional convention. The Taft attor-
neys, former Senator Dick of Ohio,
and Fred c. Bryan of Washington,
have completed their defense Of all
the cases where the Roosevelt forces
are contesting delegates. 1t is UNDER
stood all briefs and evidence will be
filed with Secretary Hayward in Chi
cago before tonight.
The attitude Of the Taft managers
here indicates that they win lend
their full support to Chairman Harry
s. New in the effort to seat Senator
Root as temporary chairman of the
convention. It is understood the Taft
forces were not advised of the Sc
lection Of Senator Root until after
the latter had accepted Mr.. News in
vitation, but have seized what they
believe to be an opportunity to weld
together New York's delegates and
other delegations that will support
the national committee upon issue.
Senator Dixon predicted that Gov
ernor Hadley of Missouri would be
the Roosevelt choice for temporary
chairman Of the convention.

They dwelled in Boston a short while,

Mrs Wilson declared she had no
suspicion of the negro strain in the blood
Of her husband until she came to Wash

IN Wilmington, Del, first made her ac-
quainted with the truth. She took it
hard, but was expecting to become a

The rift in the lutte was there. however.
and their attitude toward each other UNI
derwent a change. Wilson, jealous, ap-

her at times. and even threatened her

have no more to do with her.
She elected to go with her husband, re-
turning with him to Washington about a
