Philadelphia, May 6.-Serious rioting which began today in the Schuyll1ill valley mining region continued tonight and outbreaks were reported from sev- eral other points in the hard-coal re- gions.

Carmel, Mahanoy City and Jessup, the last named small town near Scran- ton.
 Suspected Workmen Stoned.
 At Jessup, William Marchie was shot and probably fatally injured and his brother Saborio was shot in the hand in quarrel with two other idle miners.
 In the Schuylkill valley region the chief disorder occurred today in Shen- andoah. The rioting spread tonight to Mahanoy City, where veritable reign of terror prevailed. Rowling mobs of men, women and boys charged up and down the main streets and stoned suspected Workmen. Trolley cars. automobiles and wagons, sus- pected of conveying workers from the mines, were stopped and searched by the frenzied rioters. Young boys ap- peared to be among the worst offend CTS.
 Foreigners in Ugly Mood.

 At Shenandoah peace was maintain ed tonight by squad of state police under the command of Lieutenant Me Nair. The foreigners in that locality are reported to be in an ugly mood and mob of about 200 men visited all the mines in the vicinity and or dered all work to cease.

Baltimore. May S.-Maryland's six teen votes in the national conventions win be cast for Theodore Roosevelt and Speaker Champ Clark. unless the few election districts still to be heard from change the result registered today by the states first presidential pri- maries. Although the result was close and Colonel Roosevelt on the face of the returns had but one more than the number of votes necessary to control the state convention, the latest count tonight did not materially change the result shortly before midnight.
 How the Delegates Line Up.
 The primaries divided the delegates to the state convention as follows:
 Roosevelt 66, Taft 6S. Democrats-Clark 72, Wilson A, Harmon 4, in doubt 9,
 Majority necessary to control the convention. 65.
 Preference Favored Roosevelt and
 Clark.
 ae state delegates elected are bound to hoose a delegation to the national co fention favorable to the presiden- tia lcandidates for whom the people tod k expressed their preference.
 \ Though the popular preference vote of the state as a whole did not deter mine the result it favored Roosevelt and Clark by pluralities more conclusive than the division of state delegates based on the county preference vote showed. This was due largely to the sweep which both successful candidates made in the city of Baltimore.
 East and South for Taft.
 Speaker Clark led steadily from the time the first returns arrived from the Baltimore wards. Early in the evening it looked as if Colonel Roose- welt would win by m equally big ma jority. but shortly before midnight re- turns from the strong Taft counties in southern and eastern Maryland put the president suddenly ahead with 63 delegates to his opponents 61. It was Prince Georges county which decided the issue. Both sides claimed its five votes until conclusive returns shortly after miduight placed it in thesRoose- welt column.
 Democratic Machine Wins.
 Clark's sweeping success in Balti- more was a vistory for the democratic organization. In the republican pri- mary here the Roosevelt organization downed the regular republican organ izauon led by Collector of the Port William F. stone. The small vote boiled by Governor Harmon removed the possibility that the struggle be- tween the democratic aspirants might be settled in the state convention.
 The popular pFeferential vote, was lost sight of tonight and probably will not be tabulated tomorrow.
 Sixteen Delegates for Winners.
 The delegates 10 the state conven- ton must vote as instructed for a solid delegation to the national con- Nention This means that the success fui candidates will carry to the nation sl conventions IS votes in a block bound by the law 10 stand by them ss long as in their conscientious judg- ment there is a possibility of their be- ing nominated.
