MINISTER OF POPPY STATE GOES TO BAD BECAUSE
 OF YOUNG GIRL.

ORONILLE, Calf, May h. Rev. Madison Slaughter, pastor of the Baptist church of this city, was found guilty yester- day by the jury which sat on his case, of criminal assault on the person of Gertrude Lam son a girl 15 years of age The jury was out 70 hours. And with the verdict returned into court was recommendation for mercy, showing that the min ister did not lack for friends on the jury. When the yer dict was returned, Rev. Slaugh- ter collapsed, but regained his composure and was able to walk unassisted from the court room.
 The case has been the cause of widespread comment in this part of the state, as the minis ter has heretofore enjoyed con- siderable popularity. And he still maintains considerable of his popularity among his par ishioners, most oe whom are of the opinion that the verdict returned was an unjust one.
 It is understood that the case is to be appealed with the mem- bers of the Baptist congregation bearing the expense.

RIP PUBLICAN OLD GUARD OPPOSES
 OLD FAVOR|TES
ROOSEVELT AND HUGHES UNDER HERMAN RISING AS
 POSSIBLE CHOICE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May H. It is very evident ill political cir cles that efforts are now being made by the old guard of the Republican party to kill the Roosevelt and Hughes booms for the presidential nomination of the party at Chicago. Roosevelt never was favored by the old standpatters, and Hughes never had chance except as q possible alternate Tor Roosevelt in the event that it was seen that one or the other had to be the choice.
 Nor is the old guard committing Itself to any one man for a Candi- date. with the possible exception of Root. However. some of them are also opposing him, and as the Re. publicans are anxious to secure a man popular enough with the people to afford him a chance os election it Is probable that he too, will be eliminated.
 The booms for Senator Cummins is weakening, likewise that of Bur ton, of Ohio. In fact, Senator Law renee Y. sherman. of Illinois, now seems to have the best chance of any of the newcomers into the ranks of presidential possibilities of securing the nomination.
 Some of the leaders of the old guard are now suggesting the name of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, as permanent chairman of the na- tional convention. But he is strong ly opposed in other quarters and it is thought doubtful if he can be installed.
 A move is now on foot among Re publican party leaders to amalga mate the Republicans and the Bull MoOsers. The reason given is the very probable rejection ot Roose welt by the latter For it has here tofore been taken as an accepted faCt that Roosevelt would be the candidate of the Progressiyes, and as the old guard opposed him. It was thought that an agreement on d candidate could never be reached.
 FOR ROOSEVELT.
 ATLANTA, Ca, May 14.-Theo- dore Roosevelt Is the choice of the Bull Moosers of this state for the presidential nomination at the hands of the Progressive party. The state Progressive convention ended here yesterday and resulted in all of the delegates to the national con vention being instructed to vote for Roosevelt.

OBREGON VERY AGREEABLE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 14.- The latest advices from General Scott are to the effect that General Obregon has agreed to the closest cooperation possible of the Mexican and American troops. The Mexican general expresses himself as greatly surprised at the activity of the Am erican troops in the border country and is seemingly much chagrined at the evident indisposition of the United States government to take his word concerning the course O action which would be pursued by the Carranza government, In expla- nation of his stand, he states that he thought more could be accom- plished without a written agreement as any other kind of agreement could be easier undone by word of mouth, thus effecting saving or time in the event that an important move was decided upon.

FL PASO, May 14.-Announcement has been made by General Frederick Funston now at Fort Bliss, Just out side of this city, that in the event of a break with Mexico, three armies of invasion will be dispatched into the southern republic, They will operate entirely independently of one another, the objective point of all three forces to be the city of Tor reon. the northern railroad hub of Mexico, where the railroads to the east and west coasts meet, as we'll as those to the north and couth.
 One of the forces will be composed of the border patrol now operating along the Rio Grande in the vicinity of Laredo, in this state; another will enter from this point and will probably be commanded by General Funston in person, and a third will advance from the border near Co lumbus, New Mexico, and will eff feet a juncture with General Persh- ing's force, already in the southern republic. With this addition to his force, Pershing will have an army of 1000 men.
 General Leonard Wood is expected to arrive here within the next few days from the east. He and Gener al Funston will then have joint charge at Fort Bliss until Funston leaves for the south, when the de lenses here will be in charge solely of General Wood.

SITUATION IS
 CLEARING UP.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May H. Despite the fact that it is believed in army circles that trouble with the Carranza government is immi- nent and that an invasion of Mexico will be necessary, state department officials are of the opinion that di- plomacy will yet settle the Mexican question. One Of their reasons for thinking so is the evident desire of Carranza and Obregon to barley
 General Scott's official report of the conference between himself and General Obregon makes no mention of the asserted fact that Narranza ever asked for a withdrawal of the American troops from Mexico. It does say, however, that, in the opinion of the Carranza government, the Americans are not hunting for Villa in particular, to catch him having been the object of the puni- tive expedition into Mexico but are merely making an attempt to stop the border raids which have been prevalent for the past several years

INVESTIGATING
 IRISH TROUBLES

LONDON, May 14.-The govern ment is now pursuing a rigid in vestigation of the causes which led up to the Irish rebellion of two weeks ago, the matter at hand in that regard being the trial of Sir Roger Easement on the charge of treason. Every effort is being made to unearth evidence which will show that Sir Roger was acting as an agent of the German government in melting rebellion in Ireland, but so far nothing corroborating that fact has been secured.
 ASQUITH INVESTIGATING
 DUBLIN, May 14.-Premier As quith is here conferring with oft- cials of the military regarding three prominent Irishmen alleged to have been implicated In the recent Irish rebellion.

 OPINION DIVIDED.
 LONDON, May 14.-Irish opinion is divided concerning the justness of the cause of the Irish revolu tionists in rebelling against the crown. Most of the Catholics. of course, stand with the rebels, whose revolutionary organizations have also been endorsed by large numbers of protestant 1rishmen.
 KNOWS NOTHING.
 BERLIN, May 14.-In statement issued today, the German govern ment declares that nothing is known in German official circles concern ing the Easement plan to have Ireland rebel and then join the Germans.
