WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.- With
democratic, republican and progress
sive campaigners all confident Of vic
tory at the election, eight days hence,
there was a revival here today of
speculation as to the possibility tnat
congress might be required to name
the next president.
Such contingency could only come
about If none of the presidential can
didates secured majority OF the
electoral college-or 266 electoral
votes. II Wilson, Taft or Roosevelt
divided in such fashion that none
received 26S votes. then the election
would be thrown into the house OF
representatives.
1t was figured out today that In
such case, there would very likely
be a deadlock in the house. Accorp
ing to the constitution and all procee-
dure IN balloting for the president and
vice president, the representatives
must vote by states. one ballot for
each representative, the states cleo
toral vote to be cast as whole.
1t was the general assumption OF
those who "doped OUT the situation
| that where the states were divided
! the "unit rule would apply and the
unit rule would apply and the ma
jority's candidate would receive the
4 states vote. There are now 4S states
EEo divided that rs states constitute z
majority, At present the democratic
| and republican strength in the house
by states, is exactly diyided-22 each
with four other states evenly divid
| ed themselves in political strength.
The evenly divided states could cast
no vote in which case deadlock be
tween the democrats and republicans
might very well occur. The situation
is further complicated by the fact
that there are number Of represen-
/ tatives who would probably be for
Roosevelt.
II the house fails to elect a presi-
dent, it devolves upon the senate to
choose a vice president, who would
automatically become chief executive.
In the senate there Is likewise a
tangle over divided views on Taft
Wilson and Roosevelt.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-After four
days delay on account of the death
OF Mrs. Ruth Parkin, mother of Gov
ernment Attorney Harry Parkin, at
Elgin, ILL.,, the federal grand Jury to-
day resumed its inquiry into the con-
duct of Jack Johnson. negro pugilist,
with young white girls with view
to finding violations of the Mann
white slave law. The chief witness
today was Lucille Cameron, the 10
year old girl whose mother brought
charge of abduction against the negro.
Government agents announced that
the Cameron girl would not be
brought from the Rockford jail to tes-
tify today, and a large crowd which
had gathered at the federal building
to see her went away. Then officers
quietly slipped the girl and her moth
er into the building by an obscure
entrance and she was taken to the
office Of the United States marshal.
There, 1t was understood, she told
her mother, Mrs. Cameron Faleonet,
that she would tell everything she
knew OF Johnson, and If the negro was
prosecuted, she would be witness
for the government against him.
Then, she said, she would go with her
mother to some place where she could
begin life over again and try to for
| get the experiences she has had in
Chicago.
The grand jury today was slow get
ting into acrion and although 1t was
locked in It's chambers at 10.30 a. M.
no witnesses were called within an
hour. This gave rise to rumors that
the grand jury had agreed upon indict-
ments against johnson and possibly
several other persons alleged to have
been engaged In a traffic in girls for
immoral purposes.
| Among the witnesses awaiting a
call to the grand jury room today
was Charles Johnson, brother of the
pugilist, who is known to have given
! damaging evidence against Johnson
/ last week.
When the grand jury locked itself
In. two city detectives took up posts
near the marshal's office to arrest
Lucille Cameron IL she was released
by the federal authorities after her
testimony was concluded.
The detectives had been told that
1t was Johnson's plan to get the girl
If she was released on bond or by a
| habeas corpus proceeding, and induce
her to marry him. Isaac Doff, a
county court agent held warrant for
the girl to be brought before an In
sanity board. The detectives were
| present to hold the girl until Doff's
warrant was served, so that Johnson
4 or his friends could not get In touch
with her.

MEXICO CITY, Oct 2s.-President

ance for the blood spilled by Porforio
Diaz in the revolution of 1869, in his
talks to petitioners, in the life of the
former presidents nephew.
Whether the life of Diaz is to be
saved new depends solely upon the de-
cision Of the supreme court as to the
legality OF the generals trial by a
military court. The foreign colonies,
through committees, will intercede in
his behalf today, but the case seems
hopeless.
II will not pardon Diaz or his asso-

If Diaz, Migoni and Zarate are exc

under Diaz were arraigned yesterday
Eight were found not guilty and set
