 Cannot Crush Revolt
 The opinion is becoming very general that it is hopeless to expect the govern ment to crush the insurgent forces Tn oriente despite General Monteagudos as- s,lrance that he expects to end the rebel lion in three weeks. General Nunez has Teen offered a corps of 300 veterans to re- inforce him. but they must await the ar rival of arms from the United States.
 Preliminary steps are being taken to effect the organization of veterans The question most frequently heard every where is:
 Who will be the American governor general?'' The impression Is. that in the event of such an appointment becoming necessary, 1t would probably fall to Cen eral Wood.
 As indicative of the bitter feeling of the whites against the blacks the editors Of several or tne Hlost pfohiiiieht papers have agreed not to publish any news of regro clubs or social gatherings.

 IS KILLED BY GAR

 Crushed

The head was cut open, leav- ing the face almost unrecognizable.
 The remains were taken to Shaw's es- tablishment, where they will be held un- til funeral arrangements are made.
 Conductor Campbell, who was oper- ating the car. states that owing to the darkness and the smallness of the boy he did not see the youngster nor know that he was on the track until he heard the scream It is thought that the little fel- low had attempted to run across the track and stumbled in front of the car.

The opinion was freely expressed al the war department today that It would not be necessary to dis patch the "expeditionary" brigade of infantry Evidence of this belief was found in the fact that so far no gen eral officer has been designated for this command. The soldiers composing the brigade are ready to move in stantly.

 Frederiels's statement was made at the end of todays brief but exciting session. Opposing counsel today wrangled almost continually and the frequent outbursts from Bert NJ. Frank . lin, during q racking cross examna- ton by Attorney Appel, added tense ness
 Three questions only were asked by District Attorney Fredercks before ad- journment.
 Who paid former Gov. Henry Gage to defend you when you were arrested for bribing a jnror?" he asked of Franklin.
 "I don't know" Franklin said.
 Who hired him to defend yon?a
 "T don't know"
 Did you eyer discuss with Mr. Gage any of the facts or evidence connected with the charge against you?"
 T did not"
 Fredericks said after adjournment that he would show that Darrow em- ployed Gage to defend Franklin, and that he paid the former governor 5000 for that service.

LaFoIlette's Demands

Madison, Wis, June S.-That Senator LaFollette will demand platform at the republican national convention which shall enunciate not only the principles which he believes should be enacted into law, but blanks showing certain ideas that should be defeated. is the additional information received here today by the senator's friends, who are drafting the platform.
 Closely following the lines Of the bills, introduced by Senator LaFollette for the regulation of trusts, his trust plank will ernbody the same idea. This plank above all others will receive the direct personal attention of Senator LaFollette.
 The platform will contain plank op- posing ship subsidies. It will denounce political navy yards. and will ask for the creation of an expert commission to

 Another Cause
 Another occasion of dissenslon Is the refusal of the colonel to announce in unequivocal terms that he will be regu- lar whatever happens. His managers realize that their fight is lost and they have no desire to go out of the re- publican convention and to become wanderers men without party. They are urging on the colonel their view that although he is doomed to defeat this year he can. by remaining regular. make an earnest fight for the nomina : tion in 1916. but he will not listen to their representatives. Of course he says, and Dixon feebdly re-echoes him, that there will be no reason for a bolt if he gets square deal"--but he will not say that under no circumstances will he bolt, and that is what Dixon wants him to say and what he would like to feel certain of Himself Colonel Roosevelt now expects to come here next week. This too, is in direct violation of the urgent repre- sentations of Senator Dixon and others of his supporters. They feel certain that if he comes he will bolt and they gravely fear he will make of himself q spectacle which will prevent his ever again being seriously considered for of : flee. while they. too, will go with him down to irrevocabIe defeat.

 people know that they cannot get away with this as the Californians were elected by an overwhelming majority. But they say that two delegates are at least in doubt and they hope in the shuttle to win them.
 Back of all the tnmult and the shouting Is a situation which is enjoyable to mo- body but such democrats as are on the side lines.
 Taft leaders who are in command are deliberately forcing the nomination of man foredoomed to defeat not because they fear him, but because they want to keep their grip on the party machin- cry Penrose and Crane, both defeated in their own states, have no hope save through the nomination of Taft and are desperate. Neither Is sure just how far the delegates will follow them and neither wreck of the party.
 Promises
 These two bosses have used various ex- pedients to get the other committeeman behind them. Ralph Williams of Oregon is an example. Williams, once for Roose- welt, has been promised the United States marshalship in oregon to keep him faith full to Taft. Mulvane of Kansas has been promised the state patronage. Lowden of Illinois has had a senatorshp dan gled before him. Hart of Iowa has been promised big political preferment if he can get Lafe Young. the Iowa reactionary, out of his way. Young. apparently hear ing about this offer to Hart, came out today with a loud declaration that Taft cannot be nominated and pleaded for the selection of Cummins as a compromise candidate. When 1t was discovered that the nerve of Secretary Nagel, himself presidential aspirant was not sufficient to stand the strain of the rough work that must be gone through to nominate Taft, he was persuaded to attend to his secretaryship in Washington. Richard | Barthodt of Missouri, who fears noth- | ing but the party lash was brought here to do his work for him. You could go through the whole Taft list and find that persuasion of some kind has been used on every member of the committee. Roosevelt people are just as desperate. They have undertaken not only to noml- nate the colonel. but to carry the direct nomination programme into every state in the union If they weaken they are lost, and they know it. Their talk Of bolt, therefore Is not an idle boast. Ev- cry Taft man knows that they will bolt | at the drop of the hat if the game goes against them in the convention.

OROzCO| LOSING
 FAVOR OF REBELS
Plan to Continue Revolt With Other Military
 Leader

Mexico City, June S.-To depose Orozco and continue the revolution under some other military chieftain with the ultimate purpose of returning Francisco De La Barra to the presidency is the latest plan of the "Cientificos.s according to informa- ton which has reached administration of fc.als.
 This is the first l have heard of it. said MT. De La Barra when approached on the subject by an Associated Press representative today.
 Tt is safe to say that the report is not true in view of the fact that have not been consulted, as l presumably would have been if 1t were"
 Asked what his attitude would be in case he were approached by the revolutionists on the subject. he said: 2 T am a man of the law and therefore very respectful of the authorities. and l would in no case act against them
 rrederico Gonzales Garza, secretary to President Madero. is authority for the statement that from advices received it is apparent that much dissatisfaction exists among those financing the revolution, as well as among the rank and file over Orozco's management of the campaign.
 TO his followers in the field he is said to have promised the privilege of sacking Tolreon and his failure to deliver over that city has weakened the faith formerly reposed In him by his army. The poor showing made against the advancing fed erals is said to have dsgusted the revo- lutionary financiers with his alleged mili- tary genius.
 Who his successor was to be under the new plan wasi not known to Secretary

been emphatically denying that he would come But today George w Perkins ad- mitted that Colonel Roosevelt would come and would occupy the rooms at the Black stone hotel which are now occupied by MT. Perkins.
 The hollowness of the Roosevelt con- test is producing u most depressing ef- feet on all of his followers. Compara- lively few of them have had any idea of their hollowness. They supposed the contestants could at least present cases which would offer some basis on which every Roosevelt member of the national committee could get together Now they realize that these contests were merely ,rrandstand plays instituted that they might produce the greatest measure ot moral effect in the north, might afford a basis for the ridiculous claims of Sem ator Dixon and his associates and might influence at least that portion of the voters in the north who place anxiety to be on the winning side, to get on the band wagon, above personal preferences and even convictions.
 Taft Activities
 Activities at the Taft headquarters, while second in general interest 10 those at the Roosevelt camp. were continuous during the day. Robert O. Bailey, as- sistant secretary of the treasury, ar rived from Washington and met Com gresham Mckinley with several other Taft adherents.
 Congressman Mckinley, director of the Taft forces, reviewing the acts of the national committee in seating the Taft delegates in Alabama, Arkansas Florida and Georgia contests. declared that nne- tenths of the decisions had been by unan- imous vote.
 "so much for Senator Dixons charge that a steam roller is operating in the governing body of the republican party, Congressman Mckinley said. Continuing his comment, he declared
 sThe bad faith of all the Roosevelt contests. however, Is amply reflected bv Theodore Roosevelt himself, when, after having one contest after another thrown out by the unanimous vote of the com mittee, he said he never expected more than two votes in Alabama. anyway"
 Senator Borah tonight said
 "The ninth Alabama and the Fifth thus far which in my opinion had any merit. don't believe contests should be presented which are not based on merit"
 National Committeeman Ward declined to discuss his absence from the commit tee meeting today.
 It Is expected that both he and Senator Borah will attend Mondays session.
 Republican leaders of both factions to- night tentatively agreed that former Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks of In- diana should be chairman of the commit- tee on resolutions of the convention.
