Hughes-To Seek Opinion Of State
Oraaniz alton Workers - Parker For
Progressive Ticket.

Chicago, June 26.-Theodore Roose-
velt in a letter to the progressive ma
tional committee here today, finally de-
clined to accept the nomination OF the
party and urged the Bull Moosers to
support Charles e. Hughes.
The colonel's letter was read by Os-
car King Davis, secretary of the com :
mittee. The meeting was called to
order by Matthew Hale, of Massachu-
setts vice chairman, in the absence OF
Chairman Victor, Murdoch, of Kansas.
The message from Colonel Roosevelt
was given close attention.
Questions coming up for the COM
mittees action were these: Shall
third party be put in the field? Shall
Hughes be substituted for Roosevelt on
the progressive ticket or shall he be en-
dorsed? Shall the committee refuse to
endorse any candidate? Shall the party
organizations be continued?
Among those who favored the en-
dorsement OF Hughes We're George w
Perkins Of New York and William
Finn, Of Pennsylvania. Opposed to
this wsreJJohn M>Parker, of Louisiana
vice presidential candidate of the pro
gressive party; Matthew Hale, ant
l.ot hers. rs@
State committee organizers may ht
called on to find out the attitude Of the
progressive party as to the candidacy
of Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
nominee for president.
This was indicated prior to the meet
ing Of the progressive national commit
tee here today.
That the leaders were divided as to
the proper course to pursue was evil
dent in the statements and in the-con-
ference held.

TREviNosrHREATENs.
Orders Mexioans 10 Resist If Pershing
Moves Southward.

VWov01
Chihuahua City. Mex, June 26.-On
the heels of the American evacuation
Of San Geronimo and Bachinaba, Cen
eral Trevino has occupied the points
with his troops, issuing orders that
any attempt OF General Pershing's men
to come back south must be prevented.
British Vice Consul O'Shea has fa-
cilitated the removal of Americans at
Torreon and Durango, providing them
with a box car with instructions that
its progress be expedited.
Five of the six negroes made prison
ers at Carrizal and now here are named
John Wilson,. George NJ. Chaplin, T.
Hopkins, Thomas Garfield and w. D..
Gibson.
The prisoners here tell of two white
packers only known to them as Texas"
and "Slim," who were with Captain
Boyd's force and who they think, es-
capped.
Gibson, speaking; for his comrades.
said that they were taken at Los
Humos, many miles from the base Of
the fight by pursuing cavalry. He
said the six Of them were trying to
beat it for Ell Paso."
General Trevino said that Gibson
told him that the expedition were
lined up by Captain Boyd two miles
out Of Carrizal, and told that they
might get thru peacefully or they
might be up against it: but that in
any event there was but one thing to
do and that was to obey orders"

'CARRANzA TROOPS MOVE TO Battle lines

would be In time to dispatch the First
regiment by Wednesday. The Second
and Third regiments will follow.
Medical officers are examining the
men at an average of one man min
ute he said. "We have a dozen Off
GERS working and see no reason why
the First regiment should not entrain
for the border at once"
He said that he had not been advised
by the war department where the
troops would go, but said he thought
Ell Paso would be the place.
Refuse to Take Oaath.
More than a. score of men in the
First regiment today refused to take
the oath and were mustered out Of
service. Company L. of Keokuk, be-
cause their captain was changed and
a new one substituted, refused to go
and was ordered returned to it's home
station. Later, however, General Nor
gan consented to allow the men to re.
enlist in other companies If they de-
sired.
Shortly after noon today troop trains
bearing members Of the Second infan-
try arrived at the camp. The entire
regiment, it was thought, will be under
canvas before night.
On account Of the intense heat and
stiff drills to which the men were not
accustomed, there were several minor
heat prostrations today.
The camp schedule instituted by
Brig.-Gen. Hubert A. Allen calls for
seven hours drill daily. This will be
kept up until the men leave for the
border.

EASEMENT PLACED
ON TRIAL IN LONDON
Leader Of Irish Revolt Pleads Not
Guilty to Indietment-Jury Speedily
Procured After Some Challenges by
Defense. s.

London, June 2s.-At 10:so this
morning clerk in the court Of the
Lord Chief Justice called out The
king versus Sir Roger Easement" and
the trial Of the knight who is ac-
cused Of having instigated the Irish
rebellion was under way.
Viscount Reading, the lord chief
Justice, and Justices Avory and Hor-
ridge, in bright scarlet robes and
powdered wigs, took their seats, the
ment was brought In to answer to the
charge of high treason.
The Indictment followed in legal
points that returned against Col.
Arthur Lynch, who fought against
the British in the; Boer war. When
asked If he was guilty, Sir Roger
bowed and murmured something which
was inaudible. His counsel, Alexander
Sullivan, OF Dublin, arose quickly and
argued that the Indictment was mo
offense, known to; the law and that
none Of the acts specified were al
legged to have taken place in any ter
ritory over which the king has control.
After consultation the court ruled that
any exceptions to the Indictment in a
case Of such Importance could be taken
after the hearing without prejudice to
the prisoner.
Then Sir Roger made formal plea
Of not guilty, speaking in firm-tones.
Jurors from the panel were called for
ward. The prisoners counsel objected
to the 6rst, who wore on his sleeve
the khaki band Of men attested for the
army and waiting to be called up.

TROOPS BEING CONCENTRATED.
Mexicans Being Moved to Proximity Q
Main Railroad.

nj Paso Tex, June 26.-Carranza
tronns in northern Chihuahua are be-
ing concentrated at once and IN iorce
along the line Of the Mexican central
railroad between Juarez and Chlnua-
h,,a City, say private messages reacn-
ina here today. These messages SAID
that each troop train, packed with men
70 be distributed at points between
villa Ahumada and Laguna, left the
state capital last night. While the
troops are being aligned along the
railroad other reports say that Cen
e-aI Pershing's command rests less
than fifty miles west, drawing par
allel line UP the Santa Maria valley
from El Vale to Columbus, N. M.
Large Mexican forces are being gath
cred at villa Ahumada and at Monte
yuma while, according to reports here,
General Pershing has his largest forces
At FL Vale and Colonia Dublan.
Between the two lines, which are
about eco miles Ions, both American
and Mexican cavalry scouting patrols
are operating.
With reports that thousands Of per-
sons in northern Mexico are on the
verge Of starvation and that the eco
nomic situation is more acute. fears
were expressed that some Of the ma
tives might attack the American motor
supply trains in the hope Of getting
food. A refugee from Mexico City ar
riving at the border today said that
at stations in north Durango men and
women, who no longer had clothing,
crowded about the train and cried for
food. He said they fought as beasts
over bits Of orange peeling which a
fellow traveller threw from the coach.
Mexican Press 1loodthirsty.
The refugees brought to the border
papers to show to what extent the
anti-American feeling is growing. An
editorial In La Reforma, semi Off
cial paper published in saltillo, cap
toned Blood" makes violent attack
on the United States, the people and
policies and continues:
above all do not forget that at a
time of national need. humanity is a
crime and frightfulness is virtue
pull out eyes. snatch out hearts,
tear open dresses. drink. II you can,

patriot.
"Peace between the iMexicans and
the United States will be throes Of
terror and barbarism."
Wills to Aid carranxa7
Information reaching here today from
apparently reliable sources stated that
villa. until recently at Santa Rosalia,
had reached an agreement with the de
lActo government and that this was be-
Ing used to induce his followers to join
the Carranza forces.
Seven Americans attached to the Al
yarado Mining and Milling Company
are expected to reach Juarez late today
from chihuahua, leaving practically no
America m in that state.

PERsHINe READY FOR ACTION.
Has $4,000 Fighting Men In Pink Of
Condition and Well Situated.

Condition and Well Situated.
Ell Paso, June 26. Gen. John J. Per-
shing's erstwhile punitive expeditionary
force in Mexico is ready Tor action. If
action Is needed.
Today, according to the information
here, his southernmost outpost Is in the
vicinity of Ell Vale, less than fifty miles
from Colonia Dublan, the main base.
1t is believed that from FL Paso. large
and mobile force may be pointed in
wards in a strategic position towards
the Mexico Central railroad.
In the neighborhood Of 10000 men, in
splendid fighting trim, compose Cen
eral Pershing's army.
Equipment has been. put in the best
of condition. Horses and mules have
been tested until only the At and strong
remain. Big motor trains already load
ed with supplies for an advance are
lined up ready to get started.
In the meantime every empty truck
which remained at Columbus has been
sent to the front to aid in the speedy
transportation of infantry.
Tension Rising.
Speculation on the border dealt with
the possibility that some action by the
Mexicans may precipitate hostilities be-
fore the exchanges between Washing
ton and Mexico City are concluded.
With the lines of the Americans and
Mexicans paralleling for at least $50
miles. the rash action of some subordi-
nate commanders. it is considered here,
might at any time embroil the main
command. Tension consequently rose
with each hour.
Fear that events might be thus has
tened prompted border commanders to
redouble their vigilance. At all points
the men were ready to spring into ac-
tion. Troops dispositions were made
with view to meeting sudden and un-
expected emergencies.
Up to Carranza.
Fifty thousand national guardsmen
are expeditiously coming to Ell Paso, it
was said today. and many of them may
get there by the end Of the week. From
Columbus it was said that preparation
is being made to take care Of 10000
guardsmen.
Andres Garcia, the Mexican consul
at Ell Paso. today declared himself still
optimistic that hostilities would be
averted.
II do not see that there need be war
from my Interpretation Of President
Wilson's last note" he said. These
seventeen prisoners ought not to offer
an obstacle. We have received no in
formation from the de facto authorities
a. to the questions on hand and the
matter q up to General Carranza."

Washington, June 26.-Speeding up
Of the mobilization Of National
Guardsmen was reported today from
ali states and word was expected mo-
mentarily by the National Guard divi-
sion that the first contingent had
started for the border.
Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood, command
ing the eastern department, reported
that he expected every New York and
Massachusetts regiment ready Is
start during the day.
More than 1000 Missouri guardsmen
were mustered into the federal service.
They were the first to take the United
States oath since one company Of the
Oregon guard qualified.
Troops Have Right Of Way.
General Scott, chief of staff, said
an elaborate and smoothly working
machine was in operation to expedite
transportation Of the National Guards
to the south. The troops and supply
trains have the right of way even to
sidetracking Of limited passenger
trains.
The quartermaster general has
charge Of the transportation, aided by
railroad officials Of the American Rail-
way Association, stationed constantly
at the war department..
Physical examinations and lack OF
equipment is delaying mil1tiamen in
some states. 1t is pointed out that
state authorities and not the federal
government are responsible for any
shortage Of the uniforms, rifles and
other suppliets, the regulations re-
Guesting that sufficient quantities be
on hand at all times to equil militia
units to their peace strength.
The officials were advised today that
Illinois guards were two-thirds en-
rolled, that Kansas guardsmen were
mastering with all in camp, and that
the Ohio complement would be ready
completely tomorrow, having received
further orders to hasten. The Wiscon-
sin guard was reported not yet mus
tered.
