MEXICO 1'ITY. Keb. 12. Minister
of War Salas will be forced to resign
and Geronimo Texine substituted as
part of the program decided upon by
President .Madero in abandoning the
policy of democracy and making him
self absolute dictator of Mexico. This
report, while unofficially confirmed,
is given full credence. It is declared
now that Madero admits that the
iron-clad methods of Diaz are the on
ly ones by which peace can be maintained.
The Americans are attempting to
control the business affairs, the poll
tics and the economics of Mexico.
I'nless resistance Is shown at once.
Mexico will be but a dependent of
the United States."
The proclamation amounts to a
call to arms to resist an American
Invasion of Mexico and has caused
consternation.

The mobilization of the American
Army means the invasion of Mexico.
Governor Gonzales says in his fire

"The hand of the oppressor is
pressing bard upon your brow," he
continues, "and will brand all true
Mexicans as slaves unless they resist

Trio of Each Faction I'scs Fists anil
Arrests Follow Grand Jury
Investigating.
Continuance of the use of the
word "scab" caused another clash
Sunday evening between Southern
Pacific strikers and strikebreakers in ,
this city. Three men of each faction
came to blows, and all of the com
batants today bear marks of the en
counter, which was followed by the
arrest of the strikebreakers Involved
upon complalntB Bworn out by their
antagonists, charging assault and
battery. Justice Marsters. before
whom the accused trio plead not
guilty, transferred the entire matter.
upon recommendation of District At
torney Drown, to the grand Jury.
hlch convened In Roseburg this
morning.
It will probably take the grand
Jury at least two days to probe the
affair, as almost 50 witnesses have
been summoned. These consist of
both strikebreaker.! and strikers who
surrouuded the six men while the
battle was on. and several other on
lookers. Each of the three defend
ants furnished cash ball of $25.
While they declare that the Unlit was
provoked by tho strikers, lliev show
no disposition to have their assail
ants arrested. The striken allege
that the strikebreakers were the aggressors.
The accused strikebreakers are r.
Droullard, blacksmith's helper; H.'
H. Wilkins, arch builder, and O. V.
Ileck. a boilermaker. The strikers
complaining against them are Walter
Corley. Alex Aubln and Ben Doss.
Jr. The fight took place on the
Mosher street railroad crossing,
where the strikers have made It a
dally practice to congregate and
shout "scab" at the strikebreakers
as they emerge from the stockaded
shops at the close of work. As in
Bast difficulties between the embit
tered factions, each side blames the
other for this latest melee, and an
Impartial version Is practically Im
possible to obtain. One thing evi
dent, however. Is that the persistency
of the strikers in calling the present
shop workers "Bcahs" wherever they
may chance to meet them Is at the
root of the whole trouble.
The battle began when Corley and
Droullard began fighting, after Cor
lev had applied the obnoxious term.
Then Wllklns and Aubln mixed, fol
lowed bv an altercation between
Beck and Doss. City Marshall Fen
ton, finding everything quiet, with no
Indication of Impending trouble, had
left the scene a few minutes before.
He saw the signs of battle from a
distance and hurried back at once
but the combatants had finished be
fore he got there.
AH the men were marked by blows
which they received, but Corley was
the worst apiiearing of the lot. I'n
usual interest attached to the battle
between Corley and Droullard, be
cause bad blood had existed between
the two for several days past. Corley.
who has been seen In boxing exhibi
tions in this city, bears unite a repu
tation locally for handlness with his
fists. He came into unenviable
notice a few week? ago by kicking a
strikebreaker In the head, after he
had fallen over a track rail, and he
has been a prominent figure in the
strike from the first, urged on, It is
claimed, by older men.
On Sunday night he met his match.
however, 1u Droullatd. a man of his
own height and weight. Droullard
tells It like this: "When I asked Cor
ley what he" meant by following me
around town and culling me 'scab'
he struck me In the stomach. Then
I waded into him. I knocked Mm
down live times before he decided
to stay down. Corley wanted me to
fight him last Saturday night, but
his gang was with him and I was
alone, lie said at that time that If
I beat htm up he wouldn't have me
arrested. Now see what he has done.
While I was putting a head on him
Sunday night some other striker.
1 don't know who It was. hit me In
the eye. Then the other fights
started."
Strikers say on the other hand
that the strikebreakers were the ag
gressors. They declare the men
came out of the shops with the pre
arranged plan to start a fight and
that thev did start It. They do not
deny, however, that they applied the
word "scab." Wiiat the grand Jury
III be able to make out of the affair
la a matter of guesswork. According
to current comment s rharg of un
lawful assembly to incite riot may
yet be developed against the strikers,
on account ff their presence in a
body where the trouble occurred, af
ter repeated warnings against such
practice given both by the city inn
county officials.

WASHINGTON, Keb. 12. "Roose

good. He has concentrated the pro
gressive support and Isn't a candi

day of Congressman McKihley, who
Is Tuft's campaign manager. He
added:
"When It becomes apparent that
Roosevelt is not a candidate you will
find the progressives voluntarily sup
porting Taft. 1 am trying to harmon

seemed to be oblivious to the ap

the whistle repeatedly, evidently ex

avoid striking him.

EIGHT GOVERNORS I'N'ITE FOR
ROOSEVELT'S CANDIDACY.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12. That
Roosevelt will outline his policies In
his speech at Columbus when he ad
dresses the Ohio constitutional con
vention on February 21. is the belief
of politicians. It is expected that he
will outline the course upon which
he will make the Presidential rnce
in the event that he Is nominated.
Eight Governors and delegates
from 28 states met at Chicago Sat
urday and In an informal conference
organised a permanent committee to
push the candidacy of Roosevelt for
President. The Governors, after an
executive conference by themselves,
addressed a letter to Colonel Roose
velt asking that he let it become
known that a demand from the peo
ple that he would accept the nomina
tion would not be unheeded.
The meeting was without disagree
ment and the resolutions adopted
declared: "All are agreed Theodore
Roosevelt Is the one man who can.
at this time, unite all elements of the 11
party and attract a large number of
lndeendent voters." K
The resolution further favored "an K
expression of the people's choice for.R
President by direct vote for a candl-
date in each state." and appealed to ' M
alt agreeing with that Bentiment t'
Join the movement. A
The statement was signed by the
following Governors: Walter II. S
