The Mexican govern ment officials deny that any force has been enlisted by them on American soil. The arrest of General Campa, who Is one of the few rebels. It is said, whose aim is to help the poorer classes, is believed to nave placed Orozco In Jeo pardy with his troops. Sixty picked men left Juarez for Chihuahua today to form a personal bodyguard. No fighting took place today. DOUBT WIRELESS UTILITY Confusion Would Impair Use in Times of War, Says Englishman LONDON, June 15. (Special.) An important contribution to the discus sion of the question of the utility of the proposed chain of wireless sta tions from the British naval and mili tary point of view Is made by Major Archer-Shee. M. P- who refers to the confuson whldi arose after the Ti tanic disaster when a veritable babel of wireless communications took place on the Atlantic, as showing the dan ger of relying on this method of com munication for Important dispatches between the governments of the Em pire, either while a war is In progress or during the period antecedent to a declaration of war when the question of peace or war Is hanging in the balance. As the first station of the chain Is to be at Cyprus, it is obvious that un friendly Continental nations in times . of crises could tap messages, or even prevent their transmission by means of powerful installations, sending out ' continuous messages of the same wave lengths. In Major Archer-Shee's opin ion, although wireless is of immense use as an auxiliary, and for certain purposes is an ideal means of com munication, the vital Interests of the Empire would be best served If an all-red cable route were completed as well. BALFOUR STUDIES SPOOKS Ex-Prerater Links Ghosts Wfth Philosophy and Research. LONDON. June 15. (Special.) Much of ex-Premier Balfour's well-earned leisure Is being devoted to scholarly pursuits. Throughout a public life of crowded activities he has pursued cer tain philosophic inquiries with a rare power of concentration and detachment. His best-known treatise is "The Foun dation of Belief." and as a friend of lltS 1 C1 111 11 J 1U1J1 ICU l-Uk, I'll uiu di iii- a Newton has worked with so much sym. pathy and success to lay down step ping stones between those who find themselves able to accept revelation and those who remain In doubt and opposition. Glasgow University has offered Bal four the Glfford lectureship, Vhlch, as he is now free from the cares of office. he has accepted. His first course ot lectures will be given in the session of 1913-14. These lectures are always on some metaphysical or philosophical subject and Balfour will adorn them with his accustomed literary grace. His lectures may even deal with spooks, for once he said, "there Is nothing in political life as I know it which can be compared to the profound interest and significance of psychical research." LEADER'S WIFE HONORED Respect Paid to Spouse of French President of Chamber. i PARIS, June 15. The wives of the candidates for the Presidency of the French Chamber are Interested in the election on their own account as well as on that of their husbands. For In France as much deference is paid to the wives of high officials as to the officials themselves. When the wile of a Minister makes her appearance In a room where any wives of Deputies or Senators hare pre ceded her. these latter must rise and remain standing until she has sat down. The wives of other Ministers remain seated In such circumstances, but even they must rise should Madame la Presidents de la Chambre enter the room, for she, according to the protocol, personifies "la Representation Nation als, le suffrage universal, la France." NEW PAVEMENT IS FOUND Hard, Smooth Compound Is Being Tried Out on Paris Avenue. PARIS. June 15. Special. The broad and stately Avenue de l'Alma Is rapidly being put in a state ot siege. Both the roadway and pavement are blocked with enormous and unsightly heaps of sand and granite rubble, and piles of tar bricks and cubes, the whole forming a rampart around aa enor mous machine whose cylinder grinds without ceasing from morning till night. The machine manufactures. It Is said, a composition of Incredible hard ness one that Is able to defy the fly ing wheels of any traffic for at least 19 years, while always presenting the same uniformly smooth surface. The cylinder simply crushes up granite and any other substances with which it may be fed. like walnuts. Finally It turns out a mixture that, combined with tar and cement, is to form the Davement of the future. The municipality is on the point of signing a, first contract lor ouuu worth on trial. The question is wheth er the new substance will not destroy tires In self-defense, but its advocates aver that, on the contrary, it owes its durability in part to Its smoothness and absence of friction. In this connection a word may be added in favor of some effective check upon the habitual "scorching" of the Paris chauffeurs. Only tne other aay three serious accidents occurred, the saddest of which took place at the "frond-point" of the Avenue des Champs Elvsees. 'always a most perilous cross ing from the stream of taxicabs that come bustling up ana aown une tor pedoes Two young girls were out for a holiday walk, and were intending to cross the avenue, wnen tney saw i motorcar swooping down. They ap pear to have hesitated a moment, but not so the. ahaufleur, for in a second he flew oast, leaving two senseless bodies stretched behind hlra. One of the girls was killed outright and the other was carried to a hospital with a fractured skull. Paris drivers were al ways noted for reckless driving, but of late they appear to have lost all consideration for the lives and limbs of foot passengers.' ELKS' SPECIAL GRAND TRAIN OUT OF OMAHA JULY 4 ACME OF EXCELLENCE. Huge, Illuminated Elk to Stand . Rampant on Rear of Last Coach. Trainmen From Lodge Order. OMAHA. Neb., June 15. (Special.) What will be the most magnificent train ever conducted out of Omaha will start on July 4 for Portland. It will carry the local delegation of Elks to the National convention, which opens In Portland on July 7. Not only will they travel In splendor, bufthey will make themselves known In practically every town along the route that has an Elks club. Starting from here at 3:30 o'clock In the afternoon of July 4, with 100 Elks aboard, brothers will be picked up along the route in Nebraska. It will be the most complete train ever sent out of Omaha in the matter of equip- ment. The train will consist ot a dynamo-&aggage car. commissary and observation cars and five standard sleepers. The duller periods of the afternoons and evenings will be enlivened with con certs aboard, as well as other forms of entertainment. President Mohler, of the Union Pacific, has directed that the train crew, from the conductor and engineer, down to the humblest servant be carefully selected from the mem bership of the KlkS order. The hand somest men available will be arattea for this pleasant duty and not only will they be the pick of the membership in this respect, but they will be selected with special reference to their expe rience in handling trains. - N The train will be run direct to Den ver without maKlng any Important stops, but at that city the tourists will tarry for three hours. From there tney speed to Cheyenne, where there will be another ovation, the principal feature of which will be a parade. A brief stop at Laramie will be made and at Salt Lake City the visitors will be re ceived and welcomed. Through Idaho and Oregon the special will stop at every town where an Elk lodge ex ists. At night the coaches will be as bright as a Mississippi River steamer. Not the least -important . display of splendor will be seen from the rear of the train, where the Image of a huge elk with six-foot antlers will stand rampant. The antlers will be resplen dent with incandescent globes and tTo big globes of 100 candle-power each will represent the animal's eyes. SLAYER FOUND GUILTY MAX WHO KILLED FIVE MUST SERVE FOR LIFE.

LITERARY TOURISTS BUSY Statue of Bacon Lures Many Who Pluck Raleigh's Cntalpa Tree. LONDON. June 15. (Special.) The erection of a statue to the famous Chancellor Bacon. In the gardens of Grays Inn. Is having considerable at traction Just now for over-seas visit ors who have followed the Bacon- Shakespeare controversy. Mrs. Lewis Harcourt tooK a party of American friends over the gardens a day or two ago, and after all the historic soots where the "autnor ot Shakespeare" was supposed to have lived had been explored, they gathered around all that is left of the old ca talpa tree close-by. the seed of which Sir Walter Raleigh brought from Vir ginia and presented to Queen Eliza beth, who planted It In these gardens. This old tree, which blossoms Just as the mood takes It, has for quite a num ber of years attracted studious visit ors to this part of London: now they can gaze also upon this new effigy of the learned Lord Chancellor whose ac complishments were so great In many varlohs fields. Ex-President Roosevelt made a spe cial point of visiting these gardens. but he refrained from what has be come a common practice carrying away mementoes of the pilgrimage. The frequency with which this has been done, however, has been held by experts to account for the Irregular manner in which the eatalpa blooms. CotteriH Still Gainer of One. SEATTLE, Wash.. June 15.

ONETHING CERTAIN IS: NOBODY KNOWS Both Sides Are Frightened and Prophecy Js at Discount - in Chicago. TAFT MEN NOT ALL LOYAL Personal Equation Is' Overshadow ing Factor, and Question Now Is Whether Roosevelt ""Trump Card Will Take Trick. (Continued From First -Page.) iach side has hopes a-plenty, but each side, also,1 has a supply of fears that hang around persistently as the negro Jsbrethren and are of the same color. Naturally, each side, has a plan of campaign', aside from the minor strage- tlc details that always go with Na tional nominations. The plan of the Taft men is broad and comprehensive. The Taft -men are using Taft as a can didate merely because he is the only man who fits In with their purpose. Be yond a few personal retainers no Taft man is sincerely, loyally, last-ditchedly for Taft. In this game they would be for Smith or Johnson or anybody else. If Smith or .Johnson or anybody else was the person 'with whom to operate. Not Pro-Taft, but Anti-Roosevelt. The persons the Taft men are for are themselves. The person they are against is Roosevelt. As has been said they are not pro-TafCbut are anti- Roosevelt. Taft is their available In strument for obtaining, their end. So they are trying to nominate Taft. The apparent Taft leaders have not even party loyalty for Taff. They do not care whether Taft is pro or not, except so far as their Individual poli tical fortunes are concerned. Taft. is haidy. In this contingency and they are using him. v Their plan is thjs: They are convinced the Republican party is in for a beating this Fall, with Taft as a leader, and they have already taken their losses, to use a Wall street phrase, and are looking ahead to 1916. ' They think that by naming Taft and defeating Roosevelt they can force a bolt and thus purge the party of what they call "Populism." and what the Roosevelt men call "pro- gresslvism." Thus, with this element out, they retain control of the old ma chinery and go ahead and try to build up something for 1916. . - - It is a purely selfish, old-line poli tical programme, being played by en tirely selfish, old-line politicians. They know with Roosevelt they lose everything, even if Roosevelt shall be nominated and defeated. " They con tend that If Roosevelt Is not nominated and they can force him to bolt, he will take with him the elements of the party opposed to their views and poli cies and leave them to gather up the wreckage and make another machine out of the scraps. They realize the game Is desperate, but so are they. They have nothing to gain with Roose velt, and everything to lose; whereas, if they can name Taft, and Taft Is defeated, thty still retain their scraps, ani have four years in which to re build, and if Taft shall be named and elected, they are in clover. Fight Is Mostly Personal. This explains the course of the Re publican National Committee 'in the contests. They are determined to name Taft and eliminate Roosevelt, for they know if tbey do not eliminate Roose velt, they will be eliminated. This ex plains the bitter fight being conducted by Crane and Penrose and Barnes and all the rest of the Taft men. They are tirhting for themselves and for their particular personal kind of a Republi can party, and not for any other thins or condition or person. They have lined up ail tne regulars and are fighting for regularity, for the old order, for the old guard. And they are fighting hard and skillfully and resourcefully and relentlessly, with an ample war chest, and efficient handlers of what It con tains. Conversely, the Roosevelt partisans contend these men-no longer typify, -or even represent, the Republican party of today. They point to the almost unbroken ' line of successes of Mr. Roosevelt In the primary states, as evidence that the people in the party are for the Colonel, no matter what tne bosses may say. Still, great as the popular uprising' was, it was not great enough, because of old condi tions, perhaps, that prevailed in many states and the still potent fetish of the organization, to bring Mr. Roosevelt to Chicago a clear winner. Instead. Mr. Roosevelt oomes with not quite enough votes, comes as a disputed and not as a non-disputed victor. Thus his supporters hold something must be held to push him over, to se cure for him enough further conven tion support to make his popular sup port valid In the convention. - What the Roosevelt men want is a firing on Fort Sumter. They want something to crystallize the- public spirit, force public Indignation, or arouse enough public sentiment to complete the nomi nation of Roosevelt, In spite of the op position of the machine. - Concrete Evidence Demanded. Tbey say the sentiment for him ex ists, but it must be developed here concretely. Their campaign has been to bring about some coup that will excite the people sufficiently to have the needed effect on enough delegates to Insure the nomination of the Colo nel. They had- hopes they could taunt the Old Guard Qja the National com, mlttee to throw out all of California or to take all the California delegates for Taft. The Old Guard would not be taunted. The Old Guard knew such action would be sure to stir the people more than taking -the -delegates In In diana or In any of the other states. So they took only two In California, and they let In the Roosevelt Missouri contingent, and confined their opera tions chiefly to Southern states, whose contestants, no matter how outraged. cannot excite any public Indignation whatsoever in the breasts of the Re publicans. Colonel Is Fort Sumter. The strategy, failing the next move. was to bring on Roosevelt. He came. He Is here. At present his role is that of Fort Sumter. . He is trying to be the Inciting cause for the crystallisation of all anti-boss sentiment, to arouse the people both here and ' elsewhere sufficiently so they will go to war, as the people were aroused In 1861 after being In a ferment for years the Colo nel's ferment being small, . of course. and extending only over . months, al though the revolt has been in progress. nnled by him. for a long time. This the reaction of the appearance of LMr. Roosevelt In Chicago." this after noon, ne is tne trump cara oi m Roosevelt managers. They have played him and are waiting to see whether he is big enough to take the trick. But the situation Is not two-sided. It is triangular. Out In the country there are hundreds of thousands of Repub licans who are sick of the whole busi ness, -who are Republicans before tney are Taft men or Roosevelt men and thev are thinkinis third men, and talk ing third men, and protesting by wire and by letter to the leaders that the Republican party is greater than , any individual or set of Individuals and must not be wrecked to satisfy the am bition of any individual or any groups. Also, there are many, of the Taft men, and many of the Roosevelt men, the leaders here and elsewhere, who real ize the destruction to the party that must follow the nomination tof either Taft or Roosevelt, and they are, se cretly, for a third man, if one can bo secured. .... Neither May Sayi "I Compromise." If one can be secured? That is the crux of It. As it now stands neither Taft men nor Roosevelt men can whls per compromise. The suggestion must come simultaneously, lor lr a ian man should suggest a third man to a Roose velt man. the Roosevelt man would Im mediately spread the news that the Taft forces were weakening and they would be; and the Taft men would per form the same pleasing office in case the Roosevelt man spoke first. They must speak together, and It isn't time yet. - But the time may come. It will not come, of course. If the Taft men can win with Taft. or the Roosevelt men can win with Roosevelt, but consider the possibilities: No matter what the claims of vtne rival managers are, u fact la that when you eliminate all the flub-dub and froth, Taft and Roosevelt have about an equal number of dele gates, and Taft has secured enough Roosevelt men to take the places of the Taft men Roosevelt has won over. " It requires 640 votes to nominate. I.a Follette has 86 votes and Cummins has ten. Supposedly, these LaFollette and these Cummins men will stand firm. Therefore, if a little band of delegates, say 80 or 40 or 60, caring more for the party than the Individual, should band together and vote for some third man, the way would be paved for a compro mise. It wouldn't take much to create the situation, whatever . the outcome may be. The states of Montana. Idaho, Washington and Wyoming, for example, could do It, or the delegation from Michigan and Kentucky, or any other little body of men from various states. Available Man Not Found. This not a prediction there will be a compromise. : It merely shows bow a compromise might be effected, and re cites the -obvious truth that a great number of Republicans desire such a compromise. If there were a big com manding Republican in the background, some man like Blaine, for example, or any other great figure. It would be eas ier to compromise than It will be, pro vided the plan Is tried, but the avail able men for the' third leg of the tri angle Is not easy to find. Not many men of political caliber are in sight, or out of sight. It Is a delicate, difficult, complex sit uation. And, aside from Mr. Roosevelt, no commanding figure is on the ground. Instead of being led by generals, the opposing forces are led by squads of sergeants and corporals. When any thing is to be .decided upon there Is no man on either side, save Roosevelt, to say. "Do If or "Do not do it," with sufficient force to compel obedience. In stead, every proposition la milled over by a dozen or ao little leaders and loses efficiency in the milling.

KING GEORGE IS ANGERED Postcard. "Csed By Ulster Faction Aggravates Monarch. DUBLIN. June JS. (Special.) Some conservatives of the north of Ireland are scheduled to have their knuckles rapped by royal orders. They issued a postal card showing the King In the center, with Sir Edward Carson on one side and Bonar Law on the other, over the inscription. "One King, one flag, one country." This was done to boost the anti-Home Rule cause. One of these cards came the way of an English liberal, who sent It to the King's secretary, who promptly repudiated the production as having any royal sanction. . Then the monarch himself heard of it and became quite humanly furious about It, for it is a cardinal rule with him not to give any party preferences for public use.
