Chihuahua, Mex, June 5.-Rein-
Iolcements were sent south from here
today to support the vanguard of the
rebels under Colonel Antonio Rojas at
santa Rosalia, 46 miles north of the
federal base at Jimenez Persistent
reports here are that General Huerta
mas moved his federal forces no con
considerable distance north OF Jimen-
ez. The rebel cavalry may be moved
siuthward to harass him, as he has
sent most OF his own cavalry away
ON flank movement west of this
city.
Infantry and artillery alone remain
in Huerta's columns and the rebels
may take advantage of this condition
by sending bands of mounted men in
to the vicinity now held by the fed
erals Prospects of an engagement at
Bachimba between the main branches
of the two armies are as yet remote
General Pascual Orozco came here
today from Bachimba to discuss GER
tain subjects pending before the state
Legislature, now IN session. One OF
the measures under discussion provid-
ed for the raising of needed funds, it
being contemplated to issue short
time interest-bearihg bonds of small
denominations. The payment of these
will be guaranteed by the state and
they may be used as currency.
The Mexican congressman who are
here from Mexico City to talk peace
with General Orozco were in confer
ence with him today. The congress
men were stopped, they declare at
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, by secret SER
vice men of the Mexican federal gov
ernment, but managed to get across
the American boundary on their way
to Juarez. They claim they represent
faction of the Mexican congress
which will recognize Orozco If he lays
down his arms.

MAJORITY OVERRULES
PRESIDENTS RULE
BALLOT FOR UNITED STATES
SENATOR CAST OVER 9AcA's
PROTEST

Santa Fe, N. NJ, June 5.-Another
tense situation arose in the senate
this morning when Lieutenant Gov
ernor Baca. the presiding officer, de-
clined to entertain a motion by Mr..
Miera that the senate proceed as in
joint session to ballot for United
States senator. Mr.. Holt appealed
from the chair and the republican
majority overruled the presiding Of
ficer. The democrats voted to sustain
him, as did the progressives. The
ballot resulted: Fall Is; Andrews J..
The democrats all refused to vote
and Mr. Mccoy likewise, Mr. Sulzer
voting for Andrews.
The feature of the affair was a
speech by Mr. Barth who denounced
the whole proceeding as a violation of
law and unconstitutional and farce.
Mr. Holt declared that the PROPOSE
tion had been passed upon by the best
lawyers in the state, who hold that
it is absolutely necessary to take
this step at this time. The lieuten-
ant governor read what he. said was
the law governing the election of SEN
ators and appealed to the senate ma
iority not to take the step it contem-
plated. He said he had no interest
in the matter and had always tried
to rule for what he believed to be
right.
Mr.. Holt, in a eourteously worded
speech, paid him high compliment
for the impartiality with which he
had presided. but said the republican
majority had considered fully this
step and was simply carrying out
what it honestly believed to be the
law. The presiding officer withdrew
remark he had made inadvertently

"The Taft machine in Ohio refused

Congressman Mckinley in his
statement declared:
"The sober second thought not only
of the republican party, but of the
people would be further respected at
the polls in November by the re-elec-
ton Of President Taft for a second
term. The campaign of bluff, bull
doze and buster which Mr.. Roosevelt
has conducted for the nomination is
drawing to a close. The republican

only incidental appeal, will pass final

ment, said:
President Taft Will be the nomi-
nee of the convention with approx
mately 600 votes on the first ballot"
Senator Dixon in an eually posi-
tive statement declared the nomi-
nation of President Taft is physical
ly and humanity impossible with the
delegates elected"
Congressman Mckinley added that
the personal presence of Colonel
Roosevelt in the convention, would
Only make the outcome more certain

ton"

"Some Of the Taft managers il
their desperation have thrown ou

Knowing the personnel of the com

cancelled on the same day. This was
the day upon which the Mcnamara
brothers pleaded guilty.
That the prosecution merely desir-
ed to place in evidence the fact, al
legged by them, that certain sums Of
money amounting to about 100000
had been sent to attorneys for the
McNamara defense was stated today
by w. J. Ford, assistant district attor-
ney. in discussing the placing on the
stand Of Fl. H. Father, cashier Of a
Washington, D. c., bank Mr.. Ford
said that the calling off Of Father
as witness was moi au attempt TO
incriminate others with Clarence Dar-
row now on trial for the alleged bribe-
ry of juror in the Mcnamara case.
Mr.. Ford added thas no attempt
would be made by the prosecuticp to
show that either Mr.. Morrison or
President Samuel Gompers Of the
American Federation of Labor had any
guilty knowledge of the alleged cor
ruption of jurors and witnesses in the
Mcnamara case.
The effort to have the ledger
page containing the defense fund ac-
count admitted as evidence was ex-
pected to be resumed this morning.
Up to adjournment late yesterday the
attorneys for Darrow had succeeded
in keeping it out by raising various
technicalities. The prosecution ap
parently was hard pressed for legal
loophole through which the bank doeu-
ment could be slipped into the evil
dence when adjournment intervcEed.
In generating the officials Of the
American Federation of Labor, the
prosecuting attorneys also indicated
that they did not consider Job IIarri-
man as one who had guilty knowledge
of the alleged corruption. Hartman
was the socialist candidate for mayer
of Los Angeles last fall and acted as
assistant counsel in the Mcnamara de-
Tense. During the direct examina-
tion of Bert Franklin, one of The
states chief witnesses, the latter tes-
titled that Darrow had indicated to
him that the $4,000 used in the alleged
bribery of George N. Lockwood had
been procured from Mr.. Hartman.
The Darrow defense expressed sat
isfaction with the result of Franklin's
cross-examination yesterday, declaring
that he had greatly strengthened the
contention of the defense that barrow
was the victim of a conspiracy in
which Franklin was alleged to have
played the leading role Mr.. DarTow
denied today that he had ever mem
toned the name of Samuel Gompers
to Franklin in connection with an al
legged jury bribery.
Like most of Franklins statements
on the stand, it was lie" said Dar-
row. 81 never received my money
from Mr.. Gompers except through tRa
usual business channels"
