NEW YORK. May 1 1. (Special.)
Kxtremely critical and hinging large

of describing the Republican political
battle at present. That Ohio la the key

party managers believe. might force a
new deaf all around. As to what
Ohio will do. no one with a reputation
for making forecasts will venture aw

party leaders it looks like an "even

Both sides lay cla-m to victory. The

Colonel Roosevelt, they having declared
that they would vote for Colonel Roo

KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. May 11.
(Special.) Efforts to have the Ankeny
lltch, a disused Irrigation canal run
ning through the heart of the city,
closed hy the co-operation of the city
and the National Government are to be
renewed as the result of an epidemic
of typhoid fever which Is feared.
According to A. J. Lyle. manager of
the Blackburn Hospital, doctors In the
city have under observation .several
cases which they fear may develop
Into typhoid. Steps are to bo taken
at once to prevent a spread of the
disease.
Under the new charter, adopted at
the recent election. It will be possible
for the city officials to complete nego
tiations with the Government, satisfy
claims of the owners of water rights
under the ditch and have It closed at
once. It is believed that this will be
taken up at once by the members of
the City Council. It Is likely that
the matter would have come up for
preliminary consideration at the last
scheduled meeting of the Council if
there had been a quorum.

PARIS. May 3. The terrible drama
which was enacted a week aao at the
pretty, peaceful village of Choisy-le-Rol,
just outside of Paris, and which
has caused such emotion 'and horror
not only In France but throughout the
whole world, was only the culminating
point of a desperate war which has
been waged for over four months past
between the police of France and those
who have been called the "Tragic
Band."
Although this band was not under
the command of any particular chief

who was a veritable monster, possessed
nearly to the same extent as Bonnot

decision, and an almost Inconceivable
daring. It Is evident that It was the
latter, shot like a mad dog last Sun
day, who was the soul of this abom
inable gang. He was the Intelligence

cuted. Final Act Soectacular.

at the corner of a street or at the
door of a railway station. But for Bon

make, a kind of Inhuman monster, a
killer of man by Instinct and profes

SOME OF THE PAST
Daughter Who Has Been by His Side
In Five Trials Breaks Down.
Prisoner Retains Xerve.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 11. (Special.)
Broken In spirit, yet optimistic,
Michael Joseph Conboy, ex-cajiain of
the San Francisco police department,
was taken to San Quentln peniten
tiary this morning to pay the law's
penalty for killing Bernard Lagan the
night of June 23. 1909. He is to serve
three years. Tho term will be lessened
about six months by credits for good
behavior.
"I am going to take my punishment
like a man," said Captain Conboy at the
ferry Just before he boarded the
steamer. "Indeed. I regret the occur
rence for which I am now going to
prison. It was one of the unfortunate
incidents in a man's life. 1 am as re
pentant and remorseful as a man can
be. As to what I shall do when I have
expiated my crime. I shall not say now.
but what I do want to say is that I
am going to take my medicine like a
man."
The captain's daughter, Nina, who
has remained at her father's side all
through his five trials, met her father
on the way to the ferry from the Ingle
slde County Jail and rode w-ith him.
She wept as Conboy's friends bade him
good-bye at the ferry.
The captain was composed at first,
but the farewells and tears of his
friends were more than he could en
dure with fortitude, and several times
the smile which his optimistic tempera
ment enables him to maintain failed,
and tears streamed from his eyes.
In the prison he will meet scores of
men whose arrests he brought about.

exist for contesting the regular dele

forces at daybreak.
JUAREZ, Mexico, May 1L General
Pascual Orozco, farmer, rancher and
soldier of meager education, tonight
holds the balance of power in the Mex
ican revolution.
Though Orozco with 7000 men is face
to face with a federal army that is
pressing him back toward the bordor
and the outcome of the battle Is uncer
tain, the developments of the day,
chiefly the abdication by Emllio Vas
quez Gomez of the provisional presi
dency, which he ceremoniously assumed
a week ago tonight, indicate that the
money Interests behind Mexico's pres
ent disturbances must continue to court
Orozco's favor.
Emilio Vasquez Gomez is in hiding
tonight. Once a member of the Cabinet
of President De" la Barra, and the
brother of Dr. Francisco Vasquez
Gomez, recently defeated for the vice
presidency, the little man fled for his
life early today across the Rio Grande
to United States territory, where he
was found in a boarding-house in El
Paso late today. He declined to make
any statement.
Jose Cordova, secretary of the State
of Chihuahua, who bears Orozco's an
swer to the Gomez proposal of a pro
visional government, arrived here to
night. Financiers Drop tioniei.
Reliable information tonight was to
the effect that a group of men who
once surrounded ex-Fresident Diaz had
been financing the Orozco movement
through the agency of Gonzalo C. En
rile, now In Chiuhuahua, but that an
other set of capitalists had sprung up
who were seeking to oust the Enrillstaa
and control Orozco's hand. In the un
derground contest between these finan
cial factions Gomez, who could furnish
only political ambitions, was lost.
There is little doubt tonight that tho
chieftainship of Gomez as provisional
President has been ephemerial and that
he. like Bernardo Reyes, has been elimi
nated from the race for "provisional
President." which alone Francisco 1.
Madero converted into actual civil su
premacy over the Mexican republic.
Of the battle on the desert plains.
400 miles south of here on the line of
the Mexican Central Railroad, few de
tails are at hand tonight. Not content
with the rigorous censorship exercised
over dispatches coming from the front,
General Oroszco declined today to al

base.

Below Escalon. somewhere between
