EL PASO, June 1. Americans and other
foreign residents are leaving the city of
Chihuahua and the rebel zone in northern
Mexico as rapidly as train service will
permit.' The warning from Washington
several weeks ago for Americans to re
move themselves from scenes of distur
bances is believed to have been reltar
ated within the last three days through
Marion Letcher, American consul at Chi
huahua.
Passengers who arrived on the special
train from Chihuahua late last night
the only one tjiat has been run in three
a ays were agreea in ineir assertions w
day that even in the long period of isola
tion which Chihuahua suffered during
the Madero revolution, no such perilous
conditions or demoralized business pros
pects existed for foreigneors as are tO'
day spreading alarm through northern
Mexico.
Though no overt act has been committed
to indicate that the rebel officials wold
not be able to restrain the populace in
anti-foreign outbreaks, the tone of the
proclamation issued by rebel chiefs in
timating that they might not be able to
curb the passion of the people, has
served' to alarm the foreign colony into
wholesale flight. . Most of the German
families have left already. -., :
The issuance of Hat money by the
rebel government has come as the last
straw in .the business tabrto -of the alty

Cotton Tariff Bill
is Reintroduced
by Underwood
WASHINGTON, June l.-Representative
Underwood, at the direction of democratic
members of the ways and . means -committee,
today reintroduced the cotton
tariff revision bill which was- passed by
the house and senate at the. extra ses
sion of congress and vetoed by President
Taft. -
The democrats claim the bill would ra
duce the average ad valorem cotton dutlei
to 27.06 per cent as against an ad va
lorem of 45.15 per cent in 1911 and 48.12
in 1910. The ways and means committor
will report the bill favorably to the house
early next weekJ . ;
The democrats estimate that the revo
uues from the bill during the first year
of its operation would be about $10,500,000,
compared w!ih 113,000,000. in 1910 and $IJ.
300,000 in 1911. In its behalf they claim
the cost of cotton clothing to the con
sumers would be reduced by $30,000,000.
Will Look Into
High Price of Meat
WASHINGTON, June l.-The high
prices of meat probably will be-investN

An inquiry to supplement the previous
investigations into the packing business
is being planned at the Department of
Justice. The soaring prices of meat and
the question of whether the country's
meat supply may be controlled In viola
tion of the Sherman law has been called
to the attention of the deparlftent y
individuals and also by Representative
Hd wards' bill directing the attorney gen
eral to make 'an investigation.
Whatever may be done in' this regard
it was thought today (hat Attorney Gen

Preludes to Chicago Convention
Some Pertinent Information
Show, How They Are Allotted
BY VICTOR ROSE WATER.
Editor of The Bee and Acting Chairman of . the Republican National
- . Committee.
No one will venture to dispute the as
sertion that more Interest Is Jselns
evinced in the coming Chicago conven
tion that ever before in any .similar
political gathering. If doubt existed
anywhere on this point, I believe
could easily dispel it by. producing ocular
evidence of the avalanche of applications
for convention tickets for which' I have
requests from several hundred Nebraska
people, au wanting to attena, ana an
convinced they should have preference.
I am going over to Chicago this week
to be on the ground for the whole period
of the convention, including the prelim
inary meeting of the national committee
called to pass on the contests, and I am
going to give readers of The Bee from
time . to tlnps, Jf . not every - day, ijme
Inside vlewS, and sidelights in resonse
to this great, growing public Interest.
What I Write will appear under my
name in the same position and page of
the paper, and I invite all who are in
terested t,wa to . lor these letter.-" ?1 v
Right now, as "already intimated, the
tierewt contest seenw'o-' be Centered en
the question of tickets. There are 'a few
more than 11,000 seats In the Coliseum,
of which 3,000 1 will be . occupied by the
delegates- the alternates, the offioers of
the convention and representatives of the
press. " Some 2,000 more go to the local
Chicago committee for the subscribers to
the fund that pays' the convention ex
penses. That leaves less than 6,000 spec
tators' seats to answer the general de
mand. The allotment of these tlckofs
will probably be. the same as it. was four
ears ago, being one extra ticket to each
delegate, a minimum of fifteen to each
national committeeman, and fifty to each
member of the executive committee. No
tickets whatever will be issued until, two
days before the convention, and none will
be mailed out, at least, not', by - me,'. to
take a chance on them going astray or
not being used. The tickets will have to
be applied for in person in Chicago, and,
there will be no left-overs. More than
that, the tickets are separable into one
admission for each session of the con
vention, of which there will be not less
than four, and It will be necessary to
split the tickets in this way in order to
make them go around.
Punctilios- a Few .Fakes.
Some one down in Lincoln started a
fairy tale that Taft boosters there were
already supplied by me with tickets, and
statement to that effect appeared In
the Lincoln Journal. I immediately wired
the Journal this message which It
printed yesterday:
'Please correct your misstatements as
to parties having already received con
vention tickets from me. No tickets have
yet been issued to me, much less given
out y me." .
Another fake about convention tickets
came to notice in a publication in the
Beaver City Times-Tribune, charging me
with having turned down - "A request by
Mr. Bryan for a press ticket, and offer
ing him. the ticket of the editor of that,
weekly newspaper who Is one of the
alternates-elect. I sent this letter to the
Beaver City editor, which I give him
credit for printing, although he' tries to
take the edge off his misrepresentation
by adding' that progressive republicans
have been misrepresented .so much that I
should be, able to take a little of my own

"My attention has bten called to the

Whoever Invented this tale must have
been trying to gauge me by his own

Just the contrary, aa he. will doubtless
tell you if he ever responds to your

will soon, call a halt, I have not yet
turned down' a single request, but have
even voluntarily offered to take care of
my successful competitor, for my place on

either have been Innocently Imposed upon

you want to be as fair as you say you do,
you will correct your misstatement and

Relief for Apprehensive Spirits.
For fear some one may yet be appre
hensive that my probable uccssor on
the committee may not get past the door
keeper, I will say, to assuage the sus
pense,' that more than ten days ago I
wrote him a polite note saying I would
be glad to have him designated for one
of the honorary positions on the conven
tion staff that would give him access to
the floor where the delegates sit, If he so
desired, and I had this response, In which
he as politely conveys his acceptance of
that offer: . . '
"I shall be pleased to be designated for
an honorary position on the official cor.
vention staff, as kindly suggested in your
letter of May 23." . '
This Information ought to afford grcu
relief In certain, quarters from- which

which participants in the convention will
wear,' and 'It is safe to aay that It Is th-s
handsomest in design and workmanship
ever furnished for any political conven

To buy or sell Bee
want ads are the
greatest little sales
men in the state.
They accomplish more than
any other similar agency.
And at a cost so small that

columns of The Bee. It
matters not what ycu
want or when you want
it The'Bee will satisfy
you. -. ;- " :.
