WASHINGTON. June 11.-Repre-
sentative Robert G. Wickliffe OF the
sixth Louisiana district, was instantly
killed here today on the railroad
bridge which spans the Potomac riv-
er just south OF Washington. His
body was seen by members of the
train crew on a Southern railway
train, crumpled up about two feet
from the track. Whether he was
struck by this train and killed or fell
from one of the platforms, police have
as yet been unable to ascertain
The victims identity was not made
known until after his pockets were
searched, cards and letters indicating
he was the congressman Because the
railroad bridge is in deserted part
of the suburbs, police believe Wick.
life fell from one of the cars.
Mrs. Wickliffe, unaware OF her h,ls.
bands death, having left her home
early today, was in the members gal
lery when the house convened. When
Representative Brossard OF Louisiana
announced his colleagues death, Mrs.
Wickliffe tainted from the shock and

STUBBS WILL TELL
ALL ABOUT IT
In New York Today for Conference
With Colonel Roose-
veIt. IS

Hunted Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, June 11.--Goyernor
Stubbs of Kansas, who has been on
the firing line in Chicago for Roosevelt
since the national committee began to
hear the contests, today hurried into
New York to tell the candidates the
latest details and the stage was set
for the conference when Colonel
Roosevelt reached the Outlook office
from Oyster Bay.
Before talking with Roosevelt, Gov
erilor Stubbs gave no intimation of
his mission, nor did the colonel tell
what he expected to hear from his
lieutenant. But that it was an import
ant matter that brought Governor
Stubs post-haste to New York was
apparent from the fact that his com.
ing was unheralded from Chicago. He
came on the heels of George w. Per-
kins and other Roosevelt workers,
who took to Sagamor Hill all the
most startling intelligence from the
seat of war
Apparently in great humor, Roose-
welt arrived at his office and an
nounced that he would remain there
until $50, when he would go back to
Oyster Bay. He made no further
statement about his Chicago plans, but
from the fact that he brought with
him from home no luggage, it was ar
gued by his friends that at least he
would not go to Chicago today.

INTERVENTION is
NOT EXPECTED
President TAFT Thinks That Gomez
Can Stop His People From
Fighting

limited Press Leased Wire Service
ss WASHINGTON, June 11-Althoush
for the first time in years, American
military forces fought pitched battle
yesterday In Cuba, the state depart
nent today paid no further attention
to the engagement other than to say
the marines behaved splendidly un-
der fire."
Apparently it will take more than
an attack on the naval forces in Cuba
to provoke Intervention which Presi-
dent Taft now believes he can order
without express authority from con-
gress. Just after the state department
received word that Company A of the
marine corps, had been surprised
shortly after midnight and had fought
off the rebel attack. Secretary Knox
assured Orestes Ferrerra. the Cuban
special envoy sent to Washington,
that the presence of the American
forces in Cuba is merely an aid to
President Gomez and guarantee OF
safety to Americans.
1t is now believed that Ferrerra's S
mission to Washington is to secure
consent for new loan to make good
the recent Cuban appropriation OF
one million dollars to pay volunteer
troops fighting the rebels. The STATE
department now has information that
Gomez has 1000 troops in Oriente
province. where the rebellion has
been strongest. The administration
regards this force as sufficient to
quell the diso-1er but should further
attacks on American property occur
in defiance of this army. 1t is known
that the authorities here will not
hesitate to dispatch American troops
to the island at once.

The Roosevelt leaders were worried
today over the open boasts Of the
Taft men that they will control the
committee on credentials, thus affirm
ing the work of the national commit
tee and making the temporary roll OF
delegates prepared by 1t the perma-
nent roll Of the convention. So GER
tain were the Taft claims that Joseph
Healing, the Indiana expert selected
as chairman of the Taft vigilantes, or
as it prefers to be called, steering
committee, gave figures. I'VE will
have the committee 80 to 21," he
said.
Senator Borah, Senator Dixon,
Frank kellogg and other of the Roose-
welt leaders took exception to this
statement. They declare that only by
the most flagrant robbery could the
Taft people put such program
through and that If 1t was done and
the convention ever permitted to re-
ceive a report Of that kind, real trou-
BILE could not be averted.
Borah insisted that the convention
would be controlled by the Roosevelt
forces and will seat every delegate
entitled to seat. He declared that
| in every contest presented to the com
mittee SO far he has voted entirely
from the evidence presented and not
from feelings Of partisanship.
"You see have to go back home
and defend what | do here at this con.
vention," said Borah, "and intend to
be able to show that I have not
swerved from the right to aid any
man. no matter how much l might
want to see him succeed"
Borah refused to discuss either the
bolt program suggested by some OF
the enthusiastic Roosevelt leaders OF
the dual convention system which was
generally believed would be the one
that would prevail could the Taft men
keep their steam roller intact.

| the victims to come home and go to
sleep.
Broken links of steel key chain
were found in the Stillinger girls

/ She was the only person who shows
any signs of having awakened al
i the time of the murders.
