Reports to the state and war de partments from Juarez today say that the mutiny of federal'troops there Is likely to recur at any moment, and reports from southern parts of Mexico are disquieting.

HOST SEB PREACHED J) TABERHAGLE EVANGELIST BCLGIX IN THE Pl'L. PIT, CITIZENS DONATE LI BE It. ALLY TO THE HOLDING-FIRST SEIWAN IS ATTACK ON St-LOONS. Last evening one of the largest crowds that has ever gathered for a religious purunso In the city of Salem, came out to hear the first Bermon of EvangellBt Bulgln In the new taber nacle. Before the time for the open ing prayer all of the seats had been filled, and many people remained standing during the entire service. While an exact count could not be made, It la probable that between 8000 and 4000 people listened to the ser mon. Before Rev. Bulgln began his ad dress, Rev. Babcock, of the Presby terlan church, gave a short history of the building of the Immense . taber nacle, and mentioned those who con tributed labor and material tor its construction. The Salem Hardware Co., the Spence.r Hardware Co. and Wade, Pearce & Co. furnished all the nails free of charge. The Falls City Lumber Co. furnished all the lumhor for a very small rent charge. The Spauldlng Logging Co. carpeted the floor with a thick layer of sawdust gratuitously, Cherrlngton & Peters are furnishing a fine piano free of charge. The Portland Railway, Light ft. Power company Is furnishing "Juice'' at be low cost. The Anderson Furnace Co. Is Installing four large furnaces at a great reduction, W. H. Welch, electri cian, did all of the wiring for almost nothing, Mr, Nlcols, a theological student, Is donating his services as Janitor, Contractor J. W. Young and 75 volunteer workmen donated their ser vices to Put up the large hall in Just two days' time. The actual expenses were only about $300, all of which has been paid. Mr. liabcock reported that the ex penses of the entire meetings would be about $700. This will pay for fuel, lights, incidentals and the salary of Mr. and Mrs. Rose. Dr. Bulgln re ceives no salary, but depends on a free-will ofrnrlng at the close of the meetings for his worldly reward. A collodion to raise this $700 was taken last evening, and If the sum was se cured the collection plates will not be passed until the free-will offering Is taken. . ' One of the most pleasing parts of the service was the splendid singing of the lnrge choir of voices, which sang well together, under the able leadership of Mr, Rose. The duet by Mr. and Mrs. Rose was also well re ceived. Mr. Bulgln created quite a sensation upon announcing, when he arose, that the mother of Hilly Sunday was the guest of honor of the evening. Upon being Introduced she arose In her place In the choir and handkerchiefs fluttered from every part of the house, as Mr. Mulgln spoko In glowing terms of the "world's greatest evangelist." Kvnngellst Kulgln's sermon was a strong denunciation of the liquor busi ness. None connected with the traffic escaped his denunciation. He took his text from the Bible, but, laying aside that volume, he quoted Blackstnne, "the greatest lawyer slnco Moses," to sqeluln his contentions. o , i HIS FOIEODS GET TOGETHER AHO DRAFT flOOOUOCELlEOT ASE IT OH MS POOR I1EIT His Warmest Personal Friends, Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, and Bristow, of Kansas, and Walter Houscr, His Political Manager, Take This Step, But Have Not Yet Personally Consulted La Follette on the Subject Friends Believe His III Health Would Preclude His Acting for Himself.

Withdrawal of Senator Robert M. La Follette from the race for the Republican nomination for the presidency is possible. Following a conference of Republi can progressives here today, friends of La Follette preparod a statement proposing that he withdraw on the grounds of 111 health. The statement was not submitted to La Follete, and for the present is withheld, i La Follette's friends who participat ed In the conference acted on the be lief that his health did not warrant his assuming the. responsibility for a de cision the matter now, 'and thought It better, to take the matter into tholr own hands. At the La Follette headquarters here It was asserted that no official statement could be made, but it was made clear, that La Follette had not been personally consulted on the situa tion and might. yjt veto the action of his friends. Senators Clapp, of Minnesota, and Brlstow, of Kansas, and Walter Ilouser La Folelte's political manager, drafted the announcement of the Wisconsin senator's withdrawal, which for the present Is withheld. . . The action of Clapp and ; LaFol lette's other friends was taken fol lowing a lengthy conference of I -a Follette supporters here last night at which John Fackler, who has been conducting the LaFollotte Ohio campaign, discussed the situation with the leaders of ' the movement. La Follette was absent from the confer ence but was represented by Colonel John Hannan, Walter Houser, Con gressman Lenroot and several other personal friends. Medlll McCormlck and Senators Clapp, Brlstow and Bourne were there. At the confer ence, It was decldod thnt IFollutte's condition demanded action by his friends, but that Jt was Impossible to ask him to withdraw. Therefore It was decided to merely frame the statement announcing his with drawal. Up to this afternoon IjiFoI- lotte had not been advised of the statement which is yet unpublished. Rooms Roosevelt.

"Fortunately the Republican party has another conspicuous and able leader to whom It can turn. I be lleva that Theodora Roosevelt should be drafted Into' service. I know that he la not seeking further honors but I do believe that he will, not refuse the people's call. Under tha platform . of the Progressive Republican league of Ohio, adopted here January 2, the leaguo can now concentrate its forces oa the selection of delogntes pledged to the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt, providing Senator LaFol lette withdraws." 9 , An Unlucky Thirteen. unitsd rnsas lurid wms.j San Diego, Cal., Feb. 5.

"It waa clearly not the Intention of congress to offer govornment desert lands for entry to persons who were; to be dummies for others, or to those who had no Intention to occupy the land for the purposes for which It was of fered but merely for speculatla." Thnt Is the gist of a decision hand ed down today by the ninth district In affirming the Judgment of the lower court against Frank N. and David N. Chaplin, who wore sen tenced to serve a term of years for conspiring to defraud the govern ment of largo tracts of land In Oregon. United States District Judge Han ford, of Seattle, offered a dissenting opinion.
