It was through this entrance that President Taft entered and left tlm building, A largo crowd was congregated ;n front of the building.

That fact that no one has put in n olaim for Mm nulnuintio, however, is causing much speculation.

Another revolution In Mexico to fol low the recent ono in which Presi dent 1'oroforlo Diaz wns overthrown Ih expeqted hero today to break out In full fhimo for the overthrow of tho Htiet-cH5or of Diaz, Kranceseo I. Madcro, and with the object of put ting General Iterunrdo lloyes In bis place. f . When tho Mex.lt ;m electoral ctit Icko meets on Sunday It Is expected that President-elect Madcro will pre cipitate the revolution by tlm use of "Diaz tactics" lu forcing tho disputed election of Pino Snares as vlco presi dent to a buceessful endlnc. In the event of a revolt Oeueral llcycs undoubtedly will lead It, pro claiming hlniFcIf picsldont, and Dr. Vasipiez (lopicz vice president of the republic, it Is thought that General Orozco will Biipport Gomez. General Kigueioa, tho Southern Mexican Insurrecti' n chief, said re cently; "My men fought for liberty not for Mndero. If Madcro does not give them liberty my men will fight him."

WOMAN SUFFRAGE STILL IN DOUBT Advocates of the Measure Are Wear ing Smiles of Anticipated Victory Think They Have Won by 3000 Majority. SAN FHANCISCO,' Oct. 12. With less than 300 precincts throughout the state to hear from tho majority against woman suffrage was reduced at U o'clock today from SOS to 112. There Is hardly a doubt that the remaining districts will provldo enough affirmative votes to pass tho amendment with a majority of about 2000, perhaps better. SAN FHANCISCO. Oct. 12. With more than 400 back country pre cincts of Mm 3,120 precincts in the stato to bo heard from, Mm fate of the woman suffrage amendment voted on Tuesday, is still in doubt today but advocates of tho measure, despondent yesterday, today wear smiles of anticipated victory, and the probability hourly grows strong er that the mensuro has carried. lietunis from the outlying soctions are coming in slowly, but each return cuts down tho majority of about 800 which was indicated on tho returns from about 2300 precincts. Stiff rago leaders here declare now that the majority for Mm woman's bnllot will run nearly 11000. This stand is justified, apparently, hy tho lato re turns which show tlio rural volo in remote districts to ho even more strongly in favor of tlio amendment than was indicated by Mm earlier re turns. Itoturus from Siskiyou, Alpine, Motion and other northern counties and fro ma number of isolated sec tions in Mm southern part of Mm state nro still unavailable. It is doubtful if an aceurato estimate can bo iniulo until tomorrow. On tho other twenty-two amend ments to tho stato constiuion voted upon, figures have ceased to come in.

Cal., Oct, 12. Well satisfied with tho posUIoa taken by Judge Bordwoll that ven iremen may bo questioned regarding their prejudice either against labor unions as a body or membership Ih such, attorneys for Jamea B. Mc Namara spent today framing ques tions which would bo comprehensive and also come within tho order of tho court. They agreed tkat under the ruling made It will be possible to 'get at the feellnc of vonlremen so far as organized labor Is con cerned, and this will aid la safe guarding peremptory challenges and in securing tho excuse of obnoxious, candidates for jury duty for "cause." There was no session ot court to day because It was a legal holiday, but both prosecution and defense busied themselves scanning venire lists and looking up the code provi sions to fortify themselves (or the Btrugglo which 'will be resumed to morrow. -- . The fact that both sides clashed over the Interpretation ot the law within five minutes or the opening of the examination of tho first ven ireman showed the intensity of the feeling, existing. It is certain that no point will be gained in the strug gle for position without a fight. Tho 11 prospective veniremen who occupy seats in tho jury box passed a quiet day. They woro hold in their quartors In the courthouse most of tho day, although given a . reasonable opportunity for necd'.-d exercise. It is generally accepted by both sides that: there is no chance of get ting a single juror out of tho 11 men now in the box. In fact threo ot tho men are known to have open ly expressed opinions regarding ot the accused, so they probably will bo quickly excused for cause. Up nt District Attorney Freder icks' offlco there was no conceal ment of tho belief that In putting James McNamnra on trial first tho stato had scored a strategic victory, It was conceded that niuch of the evidence against John J. McNamara is indicative rather than positive, and that to establish tho state's claim that tho noted labor leader was tho head and front of a murder conspiracy, it will bo absolutely necessary to show that Buch con spiracy actually did exist.
