PEOPLE WILL SELECT DELEGATES
 TO CONVENTION.
At Session of Ohio Republicans. Taft Men Were in Control and De-
 feated Plans of FOr-

Columbus. O., Jan, 2-The Republi- can State Central Committee tonight after protracted session deciaed 10 issue call for a state primaries to be held on February II. and for a state convention to be held in Colum- bus on March to select delegates to the Republican National Convention James R. Garfield. Secretary of the in- terior will be chairman of the State convention. The friends of Secretary Taft were in control on the commit tee.
 The Republicans of Ohio will be given an opportunity to ex- press by direct vote their choice for the party's candidate for President by primaries to be held on February II when delegates and al- ternates to the Republican State Con vention will be held. The convention will be held in Columbus on March 3 and and will select in addition to four delegates at large to the Republi- can National Convention. candidates for Governor and other State offices.
 The call for the primaries and con- vention was adopted this evening by the Republican State Central Commit tee after protracted and lively dis cussion. The friends of William H. Taft, Secretary of War. and candidate for the Republican nomination for President, were in control of the Com mittee, casting IA votes to for the supporters of Senator Foraker, also an avowed candidate for the Presidency. The vote stood 14 to on every propo- sition. which required roll call except the selection of a temporary chairman for the State convention. James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior, the choice for the Taft supporters. received 1S votes to cast for Harry M. Daugh- erty of Columbus. Richard McCloud of London. a close personal friend of Mir. for him as against MT. Garfield.
 The State Committee declared 1t had nothing to do with the selection of the national delegates in the congressional districts and declined to make any sug- gestion in regard thereto.
 The Committee met early in the af- ternoon and after short session, ap- pointed subcommittee to draft a call for the primaries and convention. This committee called upon Governor Harris during the recAss. to consult his wishes in regard to the call. A com mittee representing the supporters of Senator Foraker also called on the Governor and asked him to permit hIs name to be presented for chairman of the State convention, but the Governor declined. The call reported by the sub committee and adopted by the general committee by vote of IA to 2, is one of the most elaborate ever issued by a State Committee.
 Several amendments to the call were proposed by the friends of Senator Foraker but in each case they were voted down. The chief fight was made against the direct primary plan for the selection of delegates to the State con- vention. They proposed that delegates to county conventions be chosen by di- rect vote. the county conventions to choose the delegates to the State con- Yention.

Lee Christmas, the American. was recruiting Americans on the Guatemala frontier, and that two sailing vessels had been obtained.
 The commandant at Puerto Cortez regarded the information as authentic and believed that the peace conference at Washington would end about Christi mas day. and feared that the Ameri- cans in that country might be induced to 1o.n the exDedition. Captain Max well sailed on the morning after Christi mas for Livingston. Guatemala, and anchored at 5 o'clock in the evening at that port. He was requested to no- tify the American Charge d'Affaires in Guatemala and the Government of Guatemala officially. in order to fix the responsibility. Investigation was started to ascertain if General Christ mas had a commission from the Gov ernment and to warn all Americans to remain out of the undertaking and against taking part in any expedition against a friendly power as their ves- seis. If encountered upon the high seas, would be treated as pirates.
 On the morning of December 27, the Government of Guatemala notified Captain Maxwell that 1t had "concen- trated" General Christmas and the other chiefs of the former Manuel Bo- nilla Government. at the capital, where they were under observation and also that guards had been placed along the frontier to prevent any movement, and that the commandant had strict orders to send to the capital any chiefs that may enter the coast district. The Marietta returned to Puerto Cortez on the evening of December 27, and from last accounts. General Bonilla remains quiet at Belize. and. it is said, the Belize authorities will not permit any expe- dition to organize there

WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Captain ven Goeben Tells How He
 Killed Brother Officer.

Atueu HfOther Omcer.
 Ailenstein. East Prussia. Jan. A. Goeben that he killed Major won Schoenbeck. brother officer, on Christ mas day. Is rather dramatic recital of murder.
 According to it. von Goeben dined with Major von Schoenbeck and his wife in their house on Christmas night. Considerable wine was drunk and the party had jolly time. After saying sood- knight. the captain pretended to leave the house. He slammed the front door but did not go out.
 He then stole up stairs to the ma Jor's room where he put on a mask. The major entered shortly. and, hear ing a suspicious rustling in the dark ness called. Who Is there?" Won Goeben then sprang up and faced the major. saying, T want to speak with you" Won Schoenbeck did not reply but drew his revolver and endeavored to shoot. The cartridge missed fire. Won Goeben then drew his own revol- yer and shot the major down. He then left the house noiselessly by means of key which had previously been given him by. Mrs. von Schoenbeck.
 The commissary has become pos sessed of certain correspondence ex- changed between von Goeben and Mrs. von Schoenheck before and after the crime, and from these letters, he de- duces that there was a complete un- derstanding between them.
 Won Goeben broke down when the commissary showed him this corres- pondence and confessed. He told where he had bought the pistol with which he did the killing, and said he had pur- chased the mask the day before, re- marking casually that 1t was for a masked ball. The ashes of this mask were discovered in the stove of von Goebens room.

BLACK PREACHER ARRESTED. Was Called to Preach. But DIsturbe,
 PuhIfe WOrmhfn,

Anniston. Jan. 2.-(Special.)-L. c. Cost. the Mount Olive negro Baptist Church preacher. was arrested by Sher- if LeGrande Wednesday and was re- leased on a $200 bond.
 The old negro minister Is charged with disturbing public worship. The memb CTS of the church have had a gen eral disagreement regarding the call ing of a pastor. It appears that Cost was called by a minority of the mem- bers. and as he attempted to exercise his oratory as the pastor he was given notice to vacate.
 Such warm arguments arose at each meeting that officers were required to be present to keen peace.
 It is expected that the sheriff will have to arrest nearly all of the mem bers before the row is settled.
 Costs case is set for trial before Judge Crook. January 10.

HARVESTING PECANs.
Texas Growers Report Fine Returns
 on Tnvaafmenf.


 on Investment.
 San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 2.--(Special) ) Harvesting of the greatest pecan crop in the history of Texas Is rapidly nearing completion, and the returns to the grower are showing splendid re- suits.
 P. B. McClurg of San Saba County, Southwest Texas, showed up one tree that produced $150 worth of oceans. This Is the record for a single tree, but yield of $1 a tree is profitable since by planting the trees thirty feet, apart forty-nine trees will grow upon q single acre.
 At seven years of age, a grove of oceans will average $1 a tree, and dur ing that time the land can be culti- vated for other crops. For the next twenty years. the crop increases in value at the ratio of $1 tree for each year. There are many pecan groves in this section yielding from $500 to $500 an acre.
 San Antonio has the largest pecan shipping and shelling firm in the United States, and the industry Is a thriving one.

 Petition of Tax Payer.

District of Columbia Coart Dfsmisses
 Petition of a Tax Payer.
 Washington. Jan. 2-In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to- day. Justice Gould ismissed the peti- ton of Conrad H. Syme. tax payer of the District of Columbia, who sought to restrain the Grant Memorial Com- mission from erecting B statue of Gen eral Grant in the United States Botanic Gardens in this city, upon the plea that certain historic trees would be destroyed thereby.
 Justice Gould's opinion cited numer- ous precedents. all to the effect that where the injury complained of Is real ly a public one and the right violated is a public one, an individual tax pay CT cannot obtain a rule for injury un- less he suffers a personal injury.
 Courts of equity" said Justice Gould. deal only with civil and prop- erty rights and have no facilities for preventing loss from a sentimental standpoint. From the allegations in the bill, 1t is clear that. whatever loss may be suffered from a financial stand. point, 1t differs in no respect from that which would be suffered by every other inhabitant in the United States"
