ROUGH HOUSE"

Chicago Chief of Police Will Take Charge of Coliseum Where the Republican National Convention Is to Be Held
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

CHICAGO, June 15-The feeling that matters have come to some kind of a crisis permeates both factions tonight Rumors of hot headed plans were given somewhat serious atten- tiOn by the officers in charge of the convention arrangements. Some of these rumors went so far as to sug- gest the possibility that the anti-Taft people might attempt to take posses sion of the convention hall on Mon day night and that there might be efforts to prevent the committee from effecting a permanent organization.
 Early in the day the democratic administration of the city of Chicago was taken into counsel. Mayor Har- rison gave assurances that the police were amply able to preserve order. He said the chief of police would make his headquarters on Monday in the Coliseum. The chief declared that if any rough house" tactics were at tempted he would be prepared to throw 15O policemen in front of the stage within a minute.
 The hottest battles in the former conventions of any party seem almost insignificant compared to that which is eliminating here.
 It is impossible to question the ac- cession of confidence on the part of the anti-Taft forces, which dates from the arrival of Roosevelt. Roose- welt came on the scene smiling and waving his now famous hat and if his confidence was feigned it bore all the appearance of reality.

On Certain Conditions He Will Direct the Insurrecto Troops at Juarez to Fire Toward the U nit e d States
MEXICAN REVOLUTION
 BREAKING TO PIECES
General Orozco in Danger From His Own Troops at Chihuahua Coming North Under Protection of a Bodyguard
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

FL PASO, June 15.-The Mexican insurrectos would not hesitate to fire into American territory from JuareZ if any of the troops recruited by the Mex ican federal government in American territory attempted to cross the Rio Grande here.
 Pascual OroZco ST, father of the rebel commander and head of the Ju- arez garrison replied this way today to the demand of Col Stover commander of the department of Texas that no rifle shots, bombs or shells must cross into the United States from Juarez at any time.
 Pascual OrOZco stated that while he would direct his men to avoid as far as possible firing into Fl Paso in case of fighting. yet if any of the men re- cruited, as he alleges, in Fl Paso by the Mexican consul here composed the at tacking force, he would feel justified in giving his men no instructions. Mex ican government officials deny that any men were enlisted by them on American soil.
 The arrest of Gen. Campa who is one of the few rebels, it is said, whose aim is to help poorer classes, is be- lieved to have placed Orozco in jeop- ardy of his troops. Sixty picked men left Juarez for Chihuahua today to form a personal body guard. No fighting occurred today.

FIGHT AVERTED

CHICAGO, June 15.-A personal en- counter between Committeeman Jas Kennedy of North Dakota and Francis J. Heney of San Francisco in the republican national committee meeting was prevented tonight only by the interference of their associates and the activity of Sergeant at Arma William F. Stone.
 The charge of liar" following Ken nedy's declaration that Heney made his money b. lying to the people" brought about a sensational episode. Heney had objected to any limitation of time in the hearing of the Washington con- tests and followed his statements with a declaration about stealing dele gates"
 Kisses greeted him from various parts of the committee room and in the interchange of remarks that fol- lowed Kennedy declared Well I didn't make my money by lying to the peo- pie"
 What did you say, asked Heney.
 By lying to the people, replied Ken nedy.
 You lie" said Heney.
 You lie" said Kennedy. Members oi the committee jumped to their feet and rushed betwen tn men.

His Chief Counsel Finds It Convenient to Be Absent During Examination of Witness Whom He Once Cross Examined
PROSECUTION IS
 MUCH PLEASED
Indications That the Fed eral Government Is Tax ing a Keen Interest in the Trial for Alleged Bribery of Witness
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArCHl

LOS ANGELES, June 14-After having receded from his vigorous stand against a procedure which he declared previously would be fatal to the prosecution, District Attorney Fredericks turned an admittedly bad situation into what he declared an important victory for the state in the trial of Darrow for alleged jury brib- ing.
 With Darrow conducting his own case during the temporary withdrawal of Chief Counsel Earl Rogers, Anton JOhannsen, organizer of the state building trades council, was on the stand as a witness for the defense. Fredericks unexpectedly, and with dramatic OstentatiOn produced evil dence tending to disprove the asser- tions of the defense that Darrow had no knowledge of the alleged smuggling from tn state of Mrs. Flora Caplan This was the purpose for which Jo- hannsen was placed on the stand. but he was made what the prosecution designated as a boomerang" to the defense
 The presence at the trial of Oscar Lawler. special federal prosecutor in the dynamite conspiracy case and the surprising character of the evidence introduced during the cross examina- ton, lent color to the assertion that Johannsen made on the stand that the federal and state governments were cooperating in the Darrow trial.
 LaWler occupied a seat directly be- hind the district attorney, and was in frequent consultation with the mem bers of the prosecution. Several times Johannsen declined to answer ques tiOns concerning his relations with the men accused of having blown up the Times building on the ground that his testimony would be used by the federal government in the prose cutiOn of the indictment against him.
 Fredericks asked tOhannsen the nature of the charge against him.
 The charge that they always trump up against labor when they cannot find any other, conspiracy" answered JOhannSen.
 On direct examination, JOhannsen testified that Mrs. Caplan was taken out of the state to avoid "hOunding" by Burns detectives, and that it was done upon his own initiative and without the knowledge of Darrow or any McNamara defense attorney, and that the labor council had provided funds to take Mrs. Caplan to Chicago.

CALIFORNIA TO THE RESCUE

The delegation which today issued but a thinly yelled threat of indepen- dent action if things did not go wei with the colonel in the convention. marched to the station in a body and escorted Roosevelt to his hotel. They bore aloft a banner reading on one side "CalifOrnia refuses to try title to property before the thief who stole it, ,'' on the reverse side: "CalifOrnia's solid twenty-six for Roosevelt"
 The banner caught the colonefs eye at once and he beamed with pleasure. Later from the balcony of his hotel he made a brief address to the throng which blocked all traffic on Michigan avenue for half an hour. In his re- marks he made the so-called "thefts" of the republican national committee his topic.

EARLIER DEMONSTRATION

CHICAGO, June 15.-Preliminary demonstrations for Roosevelt began early this afternoon. The first spark was kindled by Senator Borah of Idaho who addressed a multitude of Roosevelt delegates at the commit tees hotel and in an eloquent speech he flatly declared that the only saliva ton of the republican party was in Roosevelt.
 Borah, introduced to the delegates by William Finn of Pittsburg was physically captured by the cheering enthusiasts and lifted to the chair mans table Standing there he made his position in the contest for tenn pOrary chairman clear.
 NO matter what the national com mittee does," he declared the repub- lican party is going to be saved. This is not going to be another Titanic wreck as some of the Taft leaders seem to think. They have an idea that they can get out in the boats and that we will sink. They are greatly mistaken. We are going to hit the national committee iceberg head-on and the republican party is not go- ing to be scuttled."

GOOD SEATS ALL GONE.

He would not discuss his probable appearance on the convention floor but there is 10 doubt among the delegates tonight that he would be there. Col. Harry New. chairman of the conven- ton arrangements said that Roosevelt had not applied for a seat. If he does I will do the best I can for him" said New but unfortunately all the good seats are gone"
 Early ir the day it was announced that the coloneTs arrival would be de- void of the spectacular. Many dele gates would not have it thus and when the train bearing the candidate rolled into the station three bands and cheer ing multitudes were there to greet him The California delegation was most az gressive and Outspoken of the Roose- welt adherents.

SNUFFS THE BATTLE.

Roosevelt appeared in fine fettle and seemed thoroughly to enjoy being on the battle ground in person. His re- ception was all that could be desired. The streets from the station to the hotel were lined with people. He stood in the motor car the entire route way ing his hat and smiling in characterist- ic fashion. A band which led the way kept up continuous music while two in the rear were equally busy Ihe tune most in favor was the battle song of San Juan Hill and Santiago. "Theyr'n be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
 When the vast throng stood in front of the hotel clamoring for the colonel to appear and make an address the bands played Hail, Hail, the Gangs all here.
