 BE PARD0NED Charges of Fixing Jury in Land Fraud Cases Includes
 Prominent Men.
TEDDY AMONG THEM /
Attempt Will Be Made to Impeach United States Judge Gill
 bert of Oregon.

Washington, D. C., June 5.---A ser ies of remarkable charges in which the name of Former President Roose- veit, Postmaster General Hitchcock, United States Judge Gilbert, Frances J. Heney Roosevelt delegate from California, Detective William J. Burns and many other well known men are prominently mentioned and are now in the hands of President Taft. In these charges it is alleged that the jurics which tried William K Jones, Hamii- ton Hendricks and Frank P. Mays, Senator Mitchell anc GonsreGaaiaa l Mitchell and others, accused Of l2nl frauds in Oregon were deMberltc,y y "backed by the government with men Who were to convict. -..s a result Cf these charges President Taft on Mon- day issued a pardon for William N. Jones and it is understood, he will pardon Hendricks and Hays.
 Asksoon as this position is made of tlIC pdLAOu IOl iSho etHu Nhoy IL is understood that an attempt will be made to impeach United States Judge Gilbert, of Oregon, who participated in handling the jurors that tried the land fraud cases.
 It is charged by the department of justice that in Intolerance of their purposes Burns and his agents so con- nived with clerks and jury commits sioners that no men were selected for jury duties who were not known to be for conviction.
 The brief charges that when the prosecution found that it could not secure convictions in every case by the use of the jury lists selected be- fore the fraud cases arose, and con- trol the machinery the Oregon Feder- al courts conceived the idea of get ting rid of the existing jury box and substituting one of their own selec- tion.

 is Before Convention.
CLARK MADE MISTAKE
Was HOOted Down When He Spoke Z Disparagingly of Bryan-R0b-
 insOn Gets Ovation.
title Rock, June 5-The eighteen

Little Rock, June 1.-The eighteen delegates to t'ae Baltimore conven. fi5n have been instructed Dy the practically unanimous acclaim of the Arkansas state convention to vote for Champ Clark, as unit, prac- ticaly so long as his name is before the convention. This action was taken at , a. m., today. Upon a resoluation offered by w. G. Hut ton of Pulaski, and there was na discussion whatever. The delegates were ripe for it, and nothing that was done save the nomination. of Joe T. Robinson for governor could have approached it in popularity.
 Immediately after the adoption of the resolution there occurred an in- cident which demonstrated the loyal { ty of Arkansas Democrats to a party leader who has thrice been the nominee and been thrice defeated. It was generally known that Bennett t Clark son of Champ Clark, was in 5. the audience, and there were insist ent calls for Clark Clark There was some doubt as to whom they meant. Senator Clark had al- , ready spoken, characteristically re- minding his political opponents tha+, Fl intend to be in politics till I die, and many thought the. call was for Senator Clarke. The Senator thought so, too, and went to the platform, being received with great applause.
 He proceeded to make a strong Democratic speech, predicted certain victory for the party in November condemned the Taft Roosevelt row as disgraceful, intimating, however, that it was the best thing that cou.d happen for Democracy Then h, spoke of Bryan. He said:
 This man must first give some good reason for calling himself a Democrat before he criticises the Democracy of others
 It was bomb shell, delivered in the well-known blunt way of the senior Senator. And the people resented it. The great convention began shouting itself hcarse Cor Bryan ,intermingling their yells wlth more specific calls for "Ben- net Clark. For ten minutes the senator attempted to talk again i the storm but it was useless. He could not be heard The people would not permit the Senator sat down and the audience would not De stilled until the eloquent son of Champ Clark had taken the platform and made a rousing speech of thank s and prediction of Democratic vic- itory.
 Hon, w. H. Martin, of Hot Springs, was the permanent chairman and non. Paul Little of Sebastian was permanent secretary. Assistant secretaries were w. F. Turner, A. ;. Witt, J. G. Burlingame, A. s. 'HayFes, Van Simms and Wm. Stod- dard .a

Jefferson County Delega- tlon Refuses to Endorse
 Nixon For Honor.
NIXON AND SOLMSON
Engage In Fistcuffs After Dispute Over Time of Holding the
 Caucus.

Little Rock, Ark, June 5-The caucus of the Jefferson County dele gates to the Sixth District Coneres- slonal Convention in the Rest Room at Hotel Marion today, was enlivened with bitter feeling-a sudden mix be- tween two of the delegtes and spar ring for delegateships. Chester w. Taylor was elected Chairman of the Jefferson County delegation, and Meyer Solmson, Secretary. Creed Caldwell held a proxy of H. M. Dial, but the delegates unseated him, and A. w. Nunn, an alternate, took his place. w. T. Woodbridge was placed in T. c. Whites position on the dele gation, as White was absent when the delegation met. Creed Caldwell contested the right of MT. Nunn to take Mr. Dial's place, but Chairman Taylor ruled it so. On motion of H. K. Toney, the delegation went into the State Convention, uninstructed. Later Delegate Nixon came in and claimed that he had not been notified ofs the time of the meeting, or that he had been notified that it would be half and hour later at another place. MT. Solmson emphatically stated that he had told Nixon the exact hour and place of the caucus and D. Everett Tucker, who was present verified MT. Solmson's statement. Nixon ques- toned his statement, and the lie was passed. Nixon struck at Solmson, but missed, and Solmson retaliated with blow, when Delegate Toney stepped in and separated them.
 When a vote was Cast in the eau GUS, the delegation was badly divid- ed, and refused to endorse Nixon for National Delegate. It endorsed T. Duncan Wynne for elector and Sena- tors Clark and Davis, Governor-elect Robinson and J. H. Hinemon for the "Big Four
 The congressional election met in the state convention hall later, all of the 12 counties in the district being represented The convention was called to order by Chairman T. C. Trimble, of Lonoke, and Meyer Solm- son, of Pine Bluff, secretary. Col. s. M. Taylor was declared the nominee for Congress. Judge L. D. Sawyer, of Hot Springs, was elected State Gen. tral Committeeman and Robt. Wilson, of Drew county, was elected to anoth- CT district office. Mir. Wynne's cleo tion as presidential elector was also effected without opposition. Judge John M. Elliott of Pine Bluff was elected permanent chairman of the Congressional Committee for two years and Meyer Solmson, permanent secretary.
 The real fight came when J. c. Knox, of Monticello, J. C. Ross of Malvern, J. w. Crockett, of Dewitt, Dave Gates, of Desha, and T. H. Nix on. of Pine Bluff, were nominated for the two national delegateships. After being nominated and realizing that he could not secure the much desired honor. T. Havis Nixon withdrew. mak- ing a speech and declaring that he had accomplished his purpose by com ing here and resisting the efforts of some of his Jefferson county enemies

MARSHALL GIVES
 VIEWS ON ALIENS
Says the California Law is Neither Decent Nor
 American

San Francisco, October 22.-Gov. Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, demo- cratic vice presidential candidate, to- night wound up flying two day cam lnaisn in california by advocating the exclusion frorf the United States Of all aliens who are not of character to amalgamate with the American people. This argument was accepted with noisy approval by audiences which the Indiana executive addressed in San Francisco before his departure for Ore gon.
 T am unalterably opopsed," said Gov ernor Marshall ito the granting of cit- izenship to any race of aliens which by habit and by nature is absolutely un- fitted to amalgamate with the American people.
 T believe in encouraging the immi- grafton to this country of those peoples who will not alone understand and ap- preciate our institutions but who, more than that, are eager to adopt these in stitutlons as their own. For such peo- pies we have room and opportunities, but for the people who never can mingle III pOlltlCdl dudlIS, III DuSlhtsb UT III d social way with Americans, I say, don't grant them citizenship"
 Governor Marshall said he thought that Governor Johnson, progressive can didate for vice president, should be in California remedying the state election law instead of campaigning in the east.
 We are spending 5000 in Indiana, said Governor Marshall, "as extra ex- pense to give place on the ballot to u party that will not poll 1000 votes. Yet here in California thousands of your republicans are being prevented from casting their votes for MT. Taft by d law which Is neither decent nor Amer ican.
 Now, I do not say that Governor Johnson deliberately laid this mine, but Icertainly he was aware of what that law was going to do."
 Governor Marshall. despite contin- uous fall of rain. dedicated Indiana s site for a, state building at the Panama Pacific exposition today He drove through the city tonight to attend three large gatherings, two of which were democratic political meetings, and the third the annual assembage of the San Francisco Gaelic league.

 RuIgarians Win

Sofia, October 22.-The newspapers re port that she Puigaraas have captured several important positions around Adri- anople and Diumbala after severe fight ing but official confirmation is lacking. These accounts represent that the Turks are retreating from the three forts adja- cent to Adrianople.
 A Bulgarian force attacked the Turks retreatng from Djumbala, which is due south of Sofia on the Struma river. Many Turks were killed, hundreds were taken prisoners and three Calling guns were captured. The Turks were caught between the Bulgarian troops and band of Bulgarian irregulars and were unable to escape owing to the irregulars dynamit- ing a bridge over the Struma between Djumbaa and Novrokop.
 The council of ministers has directed the agricultural bank to take needfut measures to prevent an increase in the price of bread by purchasing wheat anc selling it to the bakers at cost price, Throughout the day a Turkish squadron las been cruising off Cape Kali Akra, in the Black sea, to the north of Varna The ships fired a few shells which did no damage.

Reports Say Heavy Fight ing Is Going on Near
 Adrianople
GREEKS WIN IN
 NAVAL HONORS
Four Servian Armies Advance Into Turkish Territory = Bulgarians Suffer Heavy Losses-Appre-
 hension Felt in London

London, October 22.-An almost impene- trable veil conceals the most interesting operations Of the war-those in the vi- cinity of Adrianople. No official account of any kind bearing on these movements has yet been issued The Sofia news papers report heavy fighting around Adrianople and Kirk Kilisseh to the east and three forts in the vicinity of Ardian- ople captured. According to one rumor 20oo Bulgarians were killed and 400 wounded in a desperate engagement out side Kirk K ilisseh.
 It is quite clear, however. that all re- ports of the fall of KirlS-Kilsseh and the cutting of communication with Constanti- nople are quite unfounded.
 Fighting of a most serious character continues at all points along the exten- sive frontiers and an important battle is impending in the Kumanova district be- tween the servians and The ZelSlSi Pappa, who. according to Constantinople diss patch, has 1000 men and strong artillery.
 Constantinople dispatch sent about midnight gives report that the battle has begun practically all along the line from Adrianople to Kirk kilisseh, the Turkish troops advancing and the Bull garians falling back with heavy losses.
 The Montenegrins apparently are mak- ing slow progress in the direction of Scutari poagoritza dispatches say the bombardment of Tarabosch continues but although the fort has been greatly dam aged, there is no sign of yielding
 In naval matters the honors far
 .l Lemnos, thus obtaining base from which they can attack the Turkish squadron should 1t emerge from the Dardaneles. Seemingly. however, the Turks are not disposed to leave the Black sea and risk an encounter with the Greek fleet

Great Battle Fought

London, October 23.-All divisions of the Montenegrin army concentrated south of Seutari. are taking part in the attack on Tara bosch. A terrific bombardment, says a Podgoritza dispatch to the Express. has occurred and the greatest battle yet fought between the Turks and Montene- grins is now in progress Crown Prince Danilo is personally commanding opera tions. Roads have been blasted in the mountain side to allow the passage of heavy artillery which has been mounted on heights around Tarabosch.
 dispatch from Sofia to the Express says a big battle has been raging around Kirk-Kilisseh for two days. It is re- ported that the Turkish defenses between that city and Adrianople have been broken by the Bulgarians
 The Express understands that General Sir John French has been recalled to London from Denver, 1t is supposed in connection with the Balkan war.
 The Larissa correspondent Of the Mall describing the capture of Elassona, says the in1petuosty of the Greek frontal at tack prevented the completion of q flank ing movement behind Tsaritsena to shut off the Turkish retreat. Otherwise 3Vo Turks would have been captured.
 From Athens is reported the safe ar rival at Pireaus of the four destroyers purchased in England.

DECISIVE
 BATTLE IN MEXICO
Idea of the United States Intervening in Revolt
 Is Secuted

Washington, October 22-Although in number the armies confronting each other at the rebel invested port of Vera Cruz are considerably smaller than those en- gagged ia eaNic~ hssttfns in the state Of chihuahua. ohieials are inclined to believe the decisive battle of the Mexican rev. oiution will be fought by these forces.
 The state department is ignorant of the number of troops under command of the federal General Beltran who has given notice of his intention to attack the town. American Consul General Can- ada Is aware of the strength of the Diaz defensive forces, but the state depart ment declines to divuge the informa- ton on the ground that 1t would be nn- fair to do so The impression prevails. however, that altogether about 6ooo reg ularly organized troops will do battle, provided an engagement is not averted by a wholesale assertion of the regular troops to the Diaz standard.
 While no instructions bearing on the point have been given to Captain Hughes, the American naval commander at Vera Cruz, the state and navy departments
  measures he has taken for the safety of foreigners as well as the injunction laid down by him on the federal com mander of the Mexican grnboats in the harbor to refrain from bombardment. There is said to be ample precedent for this late action on the part of Captain Hughes, though there is reason 10 appre- hend vigorous protest from the Madero government against what it may regard as an interference in it's military opera tions calculated to defeat the well laid plans for the recapture of Vera Cruz.
 Henry Lane Wilson, the American ann bassador to Mexico, who has been in Washington several days, left the city last night for New York. so far as can be known without having personally com municated with Secretary Knox, who fol- lowed him northward this morning It may be that they will meet in New York.
 Speculation connects the returning to Washington of President Tatt. contrary to arrangements previously made for q sojourn al Hot Springs, Va. with the situation in Mexico. and there are even hints of the possibility of the calling of a special session of Congress Co relieve the President of decision Of the ques- ton as to whether the time Is yet ripe for intervention. Officially. however. the idea is secuted and the determination of the government to adhere to It's present policy in regard to Mexico is reaffirmed. Secretary Stimson is returning to Wash ington Saturday from New York. also it is understood in advance Of original plans
