ROOSEVELT CARRIES
MARYLAND PRIMARY

That State in the National
Convention.

Roosevelt won out in the Mary
land primaries yesterday by a mar
row majority. Under the plan in
that state the primary test is by
counties. The candidate who car
ries a county gets all of the dele
gates from that county to the state
convention and they are instructed
to vote for delegates to the national
convention pledged to support the
candidate who carried the county.
Roosevelt secured &C delegates to
the state convention to 63 for Taft.

the state has not yet been fully de-
termined, but Roosevelt's lead is

FIND SKULL OF
JOHANN SCHILLER
Is Picked Out From a Group Of
Seventy.

Berlin, May 3.-The skull of Jo-
ham Schiller, the great German
philosopher and poet, which has
been missing for nearly thirty years,
has been discovered.
Prof. August Won Froriep of Lub-
niger university, year ago, opened
an old vault at Weimar, which, was
known to contain Schiller's remains
He made a careful examination of
seventy skulls which he found in the
vault and established indisputably
which was the skull of Schiller. He
laid the skull and his conclusions
before the anatomical congress at
Munich, which has unanimously ac-
cepted the report. Professor Welck-
er in 1888 proved that a skull,
which was supposed to be Schiller's
was spurious.

by any means.
Lack of labor, due largely to the
of negroes, who have
been drawing government rations,
has been the most serious drawback.
Stringent notices have been forced
upon the officials and planters, how
ever, and yesterday Governor San

Emilio Vasquez Gomez Appointed
Provisional President
by 0rozco.
HE ASKS FOR RECOGNITION.
Rebels Say United States Cannot
Withhold its Approval
Longer.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 6.-Emillio
vasquez Gomez, Mexican lawyer,
was ordained provisional president
of Mexico Saturday by proclamation
of Gen. Pascual Orozco now at the
front with the rebel troops threat
ening the federal base at Torreon.
Juarez is now the provisional CAPT
tai, but this probably will be shifted
to Chihuahua.
The appointment, for in all essen
tials that is what it amounts to, of
the new provisional president will,
it commonly is understood, interfere
in nowise with the administration
of the affairs of the states of north
ern Mexico by General Orozco and
by Gonzalo Enrile, the rebel civil
and special factum at Chihuahua.
The Inauguration of the new pro-
visional chief executive was ac-
complished with a secrecy which
forbade the blare of trumpets and
patriotic oratory and was determin
ed upon, it is said, chiefly for what
effect it might have upon the United
States. The rebels hope that now
they may succeed in having their
belligerency recognized.
They say the Washington govern
ment cannot, in the face of such a
demonstration, withhold official rec
ignition of their power.
When Washington, year ago,
recognized Francisco 1. Madero, the
latter was in actual control of little
else save the town of Juarez; Diaz
held the rest of Mexico. At present
the rebels control the states of Chi
huahua, Sonora, Durango, most of
Coahuila, and certain contingent
territory. Their troops, outnumber-
ing the federals, have taken the Of
fensive and are moving south over
the Chihauhua-Co ahuila border.
Senior Gomez accepted the provis-
ionar presidency at the Juarez GUS
toms house at noon, just a year,
lacking six days, after Francisco l. |
Madero went through similar in
formal procedure on the same spot
The Madero government detected
Gomez arrival last night and the
Mexican consul, Senior Llorente, pro-
tested to the local police and to L.
E. Ross, chief of the secret agents of t
the department of justice here that
ne should be arrested on the ground
that he was aiding and abetting on
United States soil revolt against a
power.
Gomez went to the police station
asst night, but at the crisis it was
ound that no evidence existed
against him. The prospective pro-
'isional president thereupon repair
ID to an obscure hotel where he
,pent the night in peace.
That he was not quite certain of
he attitude of the United States au-
horities was shown yesterday in the
method which he used in getting in
o Juarez. He did not utilize either

,haki clad soldiers were on guard
