Faction Is in Minority.

Columbus, O., May 16.-Some dele
gates and most of the candidates are
here today for the Republican state
convention that meets tomorrow to
nominate a state ticket, select dele
gates and afternates at large to the
national convention at Chicago, adopt
a platform, etc. For years there have
been factions headed respectively by
Senators Foraker and Hanna, who
have themselves been the conspicuous
figures of these gatherings. Senator
Foraker is the leading parsonage with
elaborate headquarters here this week,
but the "old Hanna crowd including
Governor Herrick, Senators Dick,
George B. Cox of Cincinnati, DR.. J.
f. Loves of Dayton and other So
called Hanna delegates. evidently have
control of the convention with large
majority of the delegates willing to
do their bidding. They will name the
state ticket, and the national dele
gates and dictate the platform
It is conceded by all of the other
faction which is here with minority
power that it cannot change results
but can prevent such harmony as is
desired by the majority The har-
mOny programme has Senators Cox.
Dick and Foraker for delegates at
state ticket for secretary of state, and
other place filled in advance, includ-
ing Governor Herrick for the Ohio
member of the national committee
and Senator Dick for chairman of the
state committee.
This slate includes Charles P. Taft,
publisher of the Cincinnati Tines
Star, and Noah II. SWayne of Toledo,
ana son of former justice of the
United States supreme court, as the

brother of the secretary of war and a

rick-Dick-Cox combine will have "a
decisive majority on the new state
central committee that is selected to
morrow as well as Ca The committee
on credentials, resolutions, etc, and
that this combine has a ajOrity of
the forty-six# Ohio delegates to the
Chicago convention but the main is
sue was to retain the old Hanna or
ganization'' in the state and that is
now assured since all of the eighty
eight county conventions have been
held to select delegates to this state
convention.
Governor Herrick, who will be both
temporary and permanent chairman
of the convention, says he will sound
no national keynote in his speech, but
will simply give an account of his own
stewardship and that of the recent
legislature. Platforms have been
drafted by Senator Dick. Congress-
man Grosvenor and others, but it is
understood that the Dick platform,
which is brief and does not seek to
at Chicago, is the one that will be
adopted.

RIDDLED WITH SHOT.
A Former Denver Policeman Assassin
ated by Unknown Hand.

Denver, May 16.-Lyte Gregory, an
ex-policeman, was assassinated at an
early hour Sunday morning as he was
returning home from a visit to friends.
His body was riddled with bullets and
he died in his tracks. It is believed
that the assassin used a repeating rifle,
and his aim was true, for in all, ten
bullets penetrated the murdered mans
body. Although bloodhounds were CIV
en- the trail shortly after the murder
occurred, no positive trace of the as
sassin has been found.
The murder occurred on West Third
avenue near South Water street, a sec
ton of the city inhabited by the work
ing class. Gregory was alone and un-
armed. Mrs. John Combs, a neigh bOr-
ing woman, who heard the Shots also
heard the cry, You numbering black
guard 3" and thought the voice was that
of her husband whose return home she
was awaiting. Combs was later found

rest. 1t is said that Combs had been

evidence of guilt has Yet been traced
to him He is being held. however.
Gregory recently had served the Re
no detective agency and was one OF the
men accused by William Wardjon, the
national committeeman of the United
Mine Workers of America, of assault
ing him on Rio Grande train near Sa-
ly beaten up and claimed that four OF
the Reno agency men were his 'asSail-
ants. Gregory had only just returned
ed to the city, having been absent sew
eral weeks. Letters found on his per-
son indicate that he was aware Of
Wardjous accusation.
The police now believe that two men
participated in the shooting Of Gregory
It develops that only four shots were
fred but the riddled condition of
Gregory's body leads to the conviction
that d shotgun loaded with heavy shot
was used. 1t is also evident that re-
volver bullet penetrated the brain a1d

tered the saloon in which Gregory vas
engaged at cards during the evening
and scanned the interior as If searching
for some one. When his gaze alighted
upon Gregory he seemed satisfied and
left the place.
Gregory has served the Mine Own
ers' Association both at Idaho Springs
and Cripple Creek since the strike of
metalliferous miners and smeltermen
was inaugurated in Colorado, and has
also been engaged against strikers in
the coal fields and other places. In ad-
dition to this, Gregory has been con-
nected with the secret service depart-
ment of different western roads.

Refuses an Offer of the Ministry
to Mexico.
Effects a Combination With
Supporters Of Dineen.
PROMISED $50 VOTES
In Addition to His Own Strength
on First Ballot.
Prospects Look Good for Break
ing the Deadlock.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 16.-Expecta-
tions were strong today that the
gubernatoriaI deadlock in the Repub-
ican state convention would be
broken this afternoon. The basis was
an alleged combination between the
followers of Governor Yates and those
of States Attorney Dineen. The fail
ure of the adherents or Frank o.
Lowden to combine with the forces
of Governor Yates was said to be
mainly responsible for the expected
turn in the situation. John NJ. Har-
Ian, who went to Chicago to confer
with number of political leaders
back of Dineen, returned today and
1t IS said that as a result about $50
Dineen votes would be given to Yates
on the first ballot. If after a reason
able number of ballots Yates should
fail to gather enough strength to
nominate himself he, according to re-
port would be expected to transfer
his following to Dineen.
All efforts to induce Yates to with
draw in the interest of Lowden were
today said to have failed. A story
that last Saturday Senator Hopkins.
Speaker Cannon and Congressnan
1orimer offered to make Governor
ateS minister to Mexico if the gov
ernor withdrew, and that Yates indig-
nantly declined the offer, was one of
the sensational rumOrs ahoat Today
Governor Yates and his followers were
jubilant and said that all talk of the
sense.

were observed for a few moments
struggling in the rapids.
Both young men were athletes and
gave UP their lives in heroic efforts to
save their companions. Mr.. Jacobs
was seen for a few moments swim
ming with Miss Mcmillan, holding her
above water. when, in her terror, she
grasped his arms and both went down.
Kingsley swan for geo yards holding
Mrs E,de's head above water, then
was seen to turn on his back. when
the woman seized him and bore the
swimmer beneath the water.
There was no time that the two
young men could not apparently have
saved themselves, although, at the
place where the accident occurred
there are swift rapids, the water seeth-
ing and boiling over great rocks.
