WISCONSIN SPLITS WIDE OPEN
Two Republican Conventions Held and
Two State Tickets Named.
(By the Associated Press. }


Madison, Wis, May 1.-two con-
ventions, both claiming legal status
by right of delegate majority holding
prima facie credentials, and bCth as
sorting themselves to be regularly Re-
publican, were concluded in Madison
tonight.
Two State tickets, the one headed
by Governor Robert M. LaFolette,
candidate for a third term, and the
other, headed by former Congressman
Samuel A. Cook, were nominated.
The ticket named by the LaFollette
convention includes all the present
State officers and the platform only
differs from the other in the intensity
of it's declaration in favor of so-called
LaFollette reforms. Governor la
Toilette considers himself the choice
Of the regular Republican party. His
delegates, according to the State Cen
trail Committees count numbered
5S51a.
The other convention was endorsed
by Senator John G. Spooner and SEN
ator Joseph V. Quarles and it's State
ticket, it is declared was legally NOM
ir.atcd by 567 delegates, holding prima
facie credential. Senator Spooner
voiced the sense of the convention
when he said:
'"These delegates sitting here will
not have TO stand merely upon the
declaration Of this committee on Gre
Centials. Their right to seats here will
he tested and proved"
This means that the courts will be
called upon TO settle this dispute.
The anti-third termers, to preserve
the standing of Wisconsin in national
Republican ranks, chose electors iden-
teal with those picked by the LaFol-
lette men.

PICK Up DIAMONDS
Lucama a Harvest Field
of SparkIes
The Atlantic Coast Line Wreck Oper S
Up New EIdorado for Those
Who Have Sharp
Eyes.

One North Carolina town has
bloomed in one night, and is now
ablaze as diamond district
This is Lucama, in Wilson county,
and how this has come to pass was
told of by a party of drummers in
Raleigh yesterday
They say that people are picking up
diamonds at the railroad track there,
and that these are the sparklers, all
polished and aglow with dazzling fire,
the days of the rough having passed.
he diamond crop started after the
railroad wreck there a short time
ago. The day after the wreck a boy
or so found some little shining pieces,
played with them, and threw them
. away. They thought they were little
pieces of glass.
A man found one, and he is said to
have sent it to Wilson. There he
learned he had a diamond. Back he
came to Lucama and the wreck. The
news spread and soon the diamond
hunters were at work.
Some $4,000 worth are reported to
have been found and sold before the
railroad people learned OF the crop.
Notices were posted and guards put
at the Wfeckage, but still the people
searched for lost diamonds. Some
boys are reported to have three and
four carat stones.
81 saw fifty people yesterday about
the place of the wreck, poking into
the mud with sticks" said a visitor
here yesterday They were after the
diamonds, and it is said that there
is about $4,000 to $4,000 in the
gems scattered around. The ques-
ton is, 10 whom do-these belong?"
II learn" he continued. that those
who find them claim this is owner
ship, but if ar owner turns up the
man who buys may be in trouble.
Some think that the diamonds were
being struggled through. The At
Iantic Coast Line people are reported
to have had no complaint of diamonds
lost, but somebody, sooner or later,
will be after those diamonds"
But in the meantime the search for
diamonds goes on at Lucama, and he
who owns a Lucama diamond is in
touch with good fortune.
