TION ON HIS ARRIVAL IN
SAN ANTONIO.
MEETS HIS OLD COMRADES
Rough Kiders and Spanish-American
War Veterans Join in the Welcome.
Will Be Given Twenty-one-gun
Salute This Morning at
Fort Sam Houston.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt's visit to San
Antonio is brief, much shorter than either
the former President of the United States
or the people of San Antonio would have it.
Nevertheless, during his visit Colonel
Rooseevlt will have enjoyed a fifteeu-mile
Automobile ride, will have visited the great-
est military camp in the United States in
time of peace, reviewed the school children
and delivered a set speecl^. all within the
space of a few hours
This is the colonel's fourth visit to the
city. Nearly twenty-five years ago he
came here as a cowman. In 1808 he or-
ganized his famous regiment of Rough
Riders in San Antonio and later, as Presi-
dent of the United States, he attended the
reunion of his regiment In this historic
city. He likes San Antonio because of the
cordial welcome he always receives here
and because its environment is congenial
to his democratic temperament.
On his present itinerary Colonel Roose-
velt makes no political speeches, nor will
be deliver one this morning at 9 o'clock,
when he will deliver an address on Alamo
Plaza
He has been Importuned by representa-
tives of the Maderolsts to make some state-
ment favorable to the cause of the revolu-
tion in Mexico, but he positively declines
to have one word to say upon the subject
one way or the other
As former Assistant Secretary of the
Navy and colonel of tUe Uough Ridors,he
is essentially a milit*rf-Ban.4aftd f<* Wa
reason his present visit i* most timely.
This morning he will have an opportunity
to witness the largest body of fighting men
Uncle Sam has ever assembled together in
time of peace. Last night he was greeted
by the commanding officers of Fore Sam
Houston and men who had served with him
in Cuba. It recalled to him the stirring
scenes of the Spanish-American War, in
which he was a central figure, and he en-

According to Report, Troops Are

GALVESTON POLICE FORCE IS
CALLED TO "RED LIGHT"
DISTRICT.
When Fire Department Responds to
Alarm, Lines of Hose Are Cut and
Firemen Forced to Turn Atten-
tion to Saving Neighboring
Houses From Flames.
GALVESTON, Tex.. March 12.-A race
riot was precipitated early today by the
stabbing of Winfield Joel, a soldier from
the camp at Fort Crockett, by an un-
known negro in the red light district of
Galveston. One Mexican and four ne-
groes were severely beaten, and the house
in front of which the stabbing occured
whs set on fire and burned to the ground.
The entire police force of the city was
called out to quell the disturbance.
Joel, who is a member of the One
Hundrey and Forty-fourth Company,
Coast Artillery, stationed at Fort
Moultrie, Charleston. S C., lies in Sealv
Hospital, seriously wounded with a deep
knife wound in the cnest just above the
heart. He probably will recover.
The policeman patrolling the beat was
stabbed in the back by another soldier
during the melee Immediately following
the wounding of Joel. He was not seri-
ously hurt.
An invidious remark mr.de* by one of
Joel's companions about the oolor of the
occupants of the house where the trouble
occurred Is supposed to have caused the
attack upon the soldier Joel was about
to open the door of the place, it is said,
when some one leaned out of an adjacent
window and stabbed him. He fell into
the gutter unconscious.
Elenora Clemens and Carrie Hutchin-
son. both negroes, who were inmates of
the house, were arrested tonight charged
with assault with intent to kill Joel. They
were held without bail.
Immediately a great crowd gathered,
composed of soldiers and civilians of both
colors. The soldiers and white" civilians
attacked every negro in sight and set fire
to the house. The solitary policeman
who appeared and attempted to restore
order, likewise was set upon and wound-
ed Realizing h's inability to cope with
the situation" single-handed' the officer
sent :n a riot call and th a short Time
every available policeman In Galveston
was on the scene.
The fire department had great diffi-
culty in fighting the fire on account of
the crowd. In the meantime another
house in the vicinity alsp was set on
fire, but the firemen were able to extin-
guish the blaze without much difficulty.
Several lines of hose which were being
played upon the first fire were cut by
the mob, and the firefighters had to
abandon the house to the flames and
content themselves with saving the build-
ings adjoining.
Order finally was restored, and the
soldier who is supposed to have stabbed
the policeman was arrested on the
charge of assault with intent to kill. His
name is Alfred Burkwalter, a private in
the Fifteenth Company, from Fort Bar-
rancas. Fla.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF RANDEI.L'S
CANDIDACY BRINGS MANY OF
THEM INTO OPEN'.
Do Not Deny Junior Senator's Position
in Lorimer Case, and His Resigna-
tion, Followed by Its With-
drawal, Have Had Bad Ef-
fect on His Standing.
BY GEORGE D. AHMISTEAI),
Staff Correspondent for The Expreta.
AUSTIN, Tex., March 12.—The most
talked-of political matter of the day Just
at present Is the formal announcement of
Congressman Choice B. Pandell of Sher-
man as a candidate for United States Sen-
ator against Joseph Weldon Bailey. In
both pro-Bailey and antl-Bailey circles
the news from Washington Is commented
on with Interest and that zest that always
adds flavor.
As published In this correspondence at
the time, the resignation of Mr. Bailey
and its recall the same day opened for-
mally the campaign for a place in the
pper hranch of Congress from Texas
that, ordinarily, would not have started
till after the prohibition election In July.
Regardliss of whatever else may happen,
the fight may be expected to wax hotter
and more furious from now on till the
end.
Congressman Randell is, perhaps, more
of an antlprohlbfttonist than Senator Bai-
ley. This fact is going to complicate mat-
ters. perhaps, for, as a leading rule, en-
emies of Senator Bailey are to be found
In the ranks of the drys. And this fact
may be expected to be brought into bold-
er relief between now and July even than
it is now. For Instance, though he has
belittled the report, there Is not a doubt
among statesmen and politicians about
Austin, some of them from Johnson Coun-
ty. that Jtnigo William Polndexter, law
candidate for Governor and, avowedlv.
| ardent champion of Senator Bailey, will
j be raking the Bailey craft with every
gun he can bring to bear long before the
I coming contest is over.
I Anti-Bailey men expect this and are
i already crowing about it. Friends of Mr.
Bailey expect It and say, In advance of
the expected development, they will be
glad when it comes. Be that as it may,
the anticipated flop of Poindexter from
the Bailey bandwagon to tile other vehicle
headed for Washington will, if nothing
else, be added proof prohibitionists do not
relish Mr. Bailey's attitude during the
recent contest for the governorship.
BAILEY'S FOES NOT AGREED.
Though there is not a man In the state
who can say It Is not meet that Mr.
Bailey's opponent, if he ha> ■> one, should
not be the Grayson County man. there la
a great lack of unanimity among Bailey's
enemies as to the man who should run
Even though Randell Is squarely in tho
field, even though It is conceded he it.
justified In doing almost anything that
would tend to bring about the undoing of
Senator Bailey, It Is lnr from settled he
will be the candidate against Bailey at the
finish.
In other words. It Is altogether probable
these opponents of Senator Bailey will

Ninth and Eleventh Cavalry Will Likely Be
Sent to Laredo Territory Within Very
Few Days /,s Rumored.
GOSSIP BUZZING ABOUT CAMP
Developments Apparently Pending Believed to Mean
j Armed Intervention, Possibly, However, Only in
Event of Death of President Diaz.
MAJ GF:>*. LEONARD WOOD. Chief of Stuff
UNCLE SAM WRECKS
WELL LAW PLANS
Man in Diplomatic Service Informs Express Correspon-
dent Movement of Troops Along Border Gave Shock
to Mexico, Japan and Great European Pouer.
The Ninth and Eleventh Regimentsof cavalry, the most mobile army of the
forces the War Department has concentrated at San Antonio, probably will
be sent to the Mexican border. Laredo, within two or three days. No official
statement to this effect has been made, but officers in the maneuver division
know that the cavalry regiments are holding themselves ready to move at an
hour's notice.
Maj. Gen. W. H. Carter, commanding the maneuver division, has denied
himself to callers and has had no communication with any one except the
officers of his staff. But the gossip that the cavalry arm is ready to move is
buzzing in the messes at the encampment.
IS IT ARMED INTERVENTION?
When the news passed along, officers expressed the opinion seriously thai
such a development would be but the first of a series of movements in the
direction of Mexico which could have no other meaning than an armed inter-
vention in the Southern republic of the same sort that the United States
undertook in Cuba. Reasoning from premise to conclusion, they said the
United States would insist upon the establishment of a stable government in
the event of the retirement or death of President Diaz, and that the status of
the intervention would remain until his successor were constitutionally elected
and stability insured. It was said that property interests of America and Eu-
rope in Mexico are too great to trust to the hazard of revolution.
These statements were made in all seriousness by army officers, and
were not born of the desire for action. There were several features in the
day's news that might be cited in evidence to support the conclusions generally
voiced at the camp.
