Ell Paso. Tex, Feb. 26.-Juarez is
waiting. The rebels are waiting. Sew
en- hundred rebels under command OF
Emilio Campo are encamped IL miles
south of Juarez. Their commander
announced his intention to attack un-
less the town surrenders as soon as
reinforcements arrived from the south.
Juarez is guarded by over 400 appar-
emily determined but untried men, and
it's officials declare they will put up
a fight if attacked. Mexican Consul
r. C. Ilorente in Ell Paso says Pancha
Villa and 800 loyal state troops are en-
route to Juarez from Chihuahua and
that the rebels may be expected to
be attacked from the rear at any time
This morning a committee of Juarez
citizens went out to the rebel camp
to appeal to the rebels to return south
without attacking and avoid a pos
sible cause for intervention, which
might come If the town is attacked.

The rebels promise to give ample no.

fuses to surrender, so that foreigners
may get out. They also say they will
move around to the northwest of Jua-

o'clock in response to telephone call:
"There is no fighting near Juarez.

Il did not send to Washington any

SIZE OF CORPORATIONS
is TO Be LIMITED
SENATOR cUMMlNs THIS AFTER.
NOON INTRODUCED BILL CAR
RYING DRASTIC PRovISoS

Washington, Feb. 26.-The trust
platform of Senator Cummins of Iowa,
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for president is embodied in a
bill which Mr.. Cummins introduced
today, designed to strengthen greatly
the governments antitrust powers.
The measure would provide what it is
claimed would be the first authority
to limit the size of corporations and
to guard against unfair or ruinous
competition through protracted under
selling.
It would put into being a trades
commission into which the present
corporations bureau would be merged
with all it's present powers. The pur-
pose in limiting corporations, 1t is set
forth, is not to prevent operation of
business in big way with economy
of production, but to limit them in
the very beginning in such a way to
leave room at least for others Of sub
stantially the same magnitude between
which healthful competition may be
preserved.

of a meeting this afternoon between
the members of the cabinet commit
tee and the coal owners, at which
the threatened strike of 100000 min
ers was discussed, an owner author
lied the statement that the situation
is easier and decidedly more hope
full"
II is reported in radical circles here
today that Premier Asquith has de
termined, in the event of national
coal strike that the government will
take over the work temporarily of al
the coal miners and thus prevent a
Yanic in prices.

nwe,re In the EIaht!v Teddy

Boston, Feb. 26,-"We're in the fight
that's all,' said Theodore Roosevelt
today. 1t was his only comment on
his statement issued yesterday that
he would accept the presidential nom-
ination if offered to him. With Mr..
Roosevelt squarely on record, the ac-
tive work of getting together Roose-
velt organization was begun here to-
day.
Telegrams from many parts of the
country and visitors urged Mr.. Roose-
velt to roll up his sleeves and throw
bimself into the fray, but he let it be
known that for the present he intends
to do little, preferring to await lndi-
cations of the effect of his announce
ment. He said that his visitors to-
day were forming Roosevelt organi-
zation in Massachusetts but that he
would take no part in it. While he
will keep in touch with the political
situation in all parts of the country.
MIR. Roosevelt expressed the determi-
nation to identify himself with no
Roosevelt organization
Requests for speeches have been re-
ceived from several states but Mr..
Roosevelt said he had not made up
his mind what to do. He said, how
ever, that whether or not he embark
ed on speaking campaign, he would
reiterate time after time his belief
in the political principles he set forth
in his speech at Columbus, Ohio. 1t
is on this platform that the Roosevelt
campaign is to be fought.
During the first part of his visit to
Boston Colonel Roosevelt confined
Himself to meeting friends, visiting
the scenes Of his younger days ut
Harvard, and talking of his favorite
authors. He was scheduled today for
a number of political conferences,
Colonel Roosevelt spent last night
with Judge Robert Grant. He said he
expected to take luncheon today with
Mrs. Margaret Deland, the author, and
Mrs. Roger Wolcott, widow of tho
former governor of Massachusetts.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The war de
partment was thrown into state oi
excitement here today by telegraphic
reports of a large band in the vicinity
of Juarez, Mexico, opposite El Paso,
and of serious fighting in the out
skirts of the town. These reports, 1t

me from army officers" and the de-
Arment officials were startled a sec
md time by press dispatches from Ell
Paso declaring there had been abso-
lutely no fighting in Juarez or its en-
virions. None of the department Of
ficials would comment on the complex
situation.

perfectly quiet today and has been so
far as / know"
Officials of the Mexico North West
ern railroad in Juarez are in constant
touch with the rebel camp at Bauche
over their railroad telephone line.
They report no trouble at Bauche. At
noon they reported that some of the
expected rebel reinforcements hes or,
rived at Bauche and that Antonio Ro-
jas and Inez Salazar leaders, had
joined Emilio Campo, who commands
the first forces that arrived Saturday
The immediate effect of the Juarez
reports was to cause the dispatch of
orders looking to further the move
ments of troops toward the border, in
cluding the Fourth infantry, which
probably will be the first regiment to
reinforce the border patrol.
The assemblage of troops on the
border does not mean projected in
vasion of Mexico, it is emphasized at
the war department, but it is admitted
the troops will not hesitate to cross
the boundary line to insure the main
tenance of a neutral zone broad
enough to insure the safety of per
sons on the America side.
There is no thought of interven
ton in Mexico" said Secretary ot
War Stimson at the White House tc
day, "all we propose to do is to pro
tect American lives and property, and
this we will do"
There is general belief here that the
Mexicans will respect a. neutral zone
and will not invite even temporary
invasion of American troops.
Senator Stone of Missouri introduc
ed a resolution today directing the
foreign relations committee to make a
prompt inquiry into the conditions OF
the Mexican border and to report its
findings and recommendations as tc
the duty of the United States.

No Effect at White House

Washington, Feb. 26. Mr.. Roose-
velt's accepted willingness to accept
the republican nomination for presi-
dent did not affect visibly affairs at
the White House House today. Pres
ident Taft viii have no direct an
swer to the announcement prior to the
Ohio speeches, according to state
ments from official sources. There
was no great increase in congression-
al callers today but Vice President
Sherman and Senator Murray Crane
of Massachusetts,, hurried to the pres
ident's office. Neither would discuss
his visit.
Secretary Of War Stimson also was
a caller. Asked as to what attitude
he would take, Mr.. Stimson said:
'I will make my position clear in a
speech which will make in Chicago
March s."
This speech is to be made before
the Chicago Taft club. It has been
looked forward to as one a series Of
cabinet officers are to make in sup
port Of the president and it was the
general impression here today that
Mr. Stimson will adhere to his origin
al purpose. The fact that he said he
would announce his position before a
Taft organization also is regarded as
significant.
There is growing belief that the
crux of the pre-convention campaign
will center in Ohio, the presidents
state. 1t is known the revolt forces
will make one of their strongest bids
bids for delegates there and the presi-
dents friends are. preparing to meet
their activies. Mr.. Taft is to be call
ed upon to bear large share Of the
Ohio burden. At Toledo on March
the president is expected to make ths
first speech in reply to the doctrines
enunciated- by Colonel Roosevelt al
Columbus.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Gard
ner of Maine today introduced Dill
under which the government would
take over the properties of express
companies and operate them as
part Of the postal service. extending
the service to the rural delivery. The
measure indicated probable cost of
taking over the properties as follows:
Real property $14,9S2,169, equipment
$73S1, ,4O5, materials and supplies
$138,210, advance payments on con
tracts $5.Ss6,666 and franchises, good
will, etc, s1O.S77,S6s a total of $780,
165,S19. II
While the balance sheets of the
companies show other assets Of near
ly s150,0OO,0OO Senator Gardner argues
that these are not devoted to express
service and that this property might
be retained by the corporations with
out imparing its value.
It is proposed that rates charged
for express service under the govern
ment shall be based on weight and
length of haul rather on the system
in effect for the carrying Of mail.

Further than this Mr.. Bryan simply
added that it would be an interesting
fight which the democrats would
watch intently.
