Only the Formal Declaration
Of the National Conven-
ton Is Necessary to Make
Him the Party's Choice.
OVER FOUR HUNDRED
DELEGATES FOR TAFT.
1873 Yet Remain to Be Chosen
And 1t is Thought the Sec
retary Will Get One Hun
dred.

Columbus. o.. May lit is all over
Taft is already nominated, lacking the
formal declaration of he convention in
Chicago. All but 13S delegates have
been chosen. and these come chiefly
from the Taft states. so that under the
most conservative calculation he will
have 100 Of them.
OF the delegates already chosen Al.
are instructed for Taft and 13T of the
200 uninstructed delegates are avowed
Taft supporters, making his total 554
delegates of those already selected
which, with 100 assured brings the to-
tai up to t54. OF this number, 20 are
in contest, but in 20 Of these 90. both
contesting delegations are instructed
for Taft. This makes 20 in contest on
the presidential candidates. COnced-
in that all should be lost to Taft, he
would still have 93 more than sufi-
Cient for nomination on the first bal
lot. AS matter of fact it is regarded
as certain that practically all Of the
disputes will be decided in favor Of
Taft. and that he will get more than
a hundred of the delegates still to be
selected, so that the 100 mark looks
like an easy goal. The combined in
structed opposition can foot up 80
votes. and these are chiefly from the
favOrite son states. 50 that there is no
possibility Of all Of them being cast
for any one Of the opposing candi-
dates.
The progress Of the Taft movement
in the country has been similar 10
that in Ohio. The opposition has been
noisy. but as the test came in each
instance, it but further developed the
fact that the republicans are over
whelmingly for William H. Taft. Ken

State Control of Public Serv-
ice Corporations Is One of
Many Things Advocated by
MarSton.
SPEAKS BEFORE THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB.
II State Had Law Like Wis
ConSin, City Could Dispose
Of Plant Without Any Fears
Whatever.

1T is probable that the city of Rich
mOnd was justified in the cOnstruc-
>tion of municipal lighting and pow
er plant, but the citizens of this city
would not have had to go to this eX-
pense had the state of Indiana. like
New York and Wisconsin, had law
providing for state control of public
service corporations, stated Glenn
Marston, an acknowledged authority
on municipal affairs who will speak
this evening at public meeting to be
held in the Commercial club rooms.
Mr. Marston is of the opinion that
municipal ownership is a failure. He
is strong advocate of state control
Of public service corporations and he
is now one of the most prominent
leaders in that movement which is
spreading throughout the country.
He stated that a year ago last Jan
uary he visited Wisconsin. That was
before that state had enacted law
providing for state control of public
service corporations. He said that
there was then fourteen or fifteen
cities in Wisconsin agitating munich
pal ownership. After the state control
law was enacted, these agitatiOnS
were dropped as the law was so effec-
tive that the public was amply protec-
ted and it was not necessary for the
taxpayers to go to the expense of
building and operating municipal
plants to protect themselves from pub
lie service corporations.
Il understand that in this city the
taxpayers have already been put TO
the expense Of nearly s250,000 in build
ing and operating the municipal light
ing and power plant If Indiana had a
law like Wisconsin and New York, the
taxpayers of Richmond could dispose
Of their municipal plant and still rest
assured that their interests would be
amply protected" stated Mr.. Marston
Just think how many streets could
be paved or otherwise improved with
the $250,000 the city has sunk in its
municipal plant" he continued
There is always the danger of muni-
cipal plants being controlled by poll.
ticians. There is no danger that a
state commission having control OF
public service corporations being con.
trolled by politics owing to the wide
diversity Of interests Of the various
public service corporations operating
in the state. Owing to this wide di-
versity of interests the corporations
could never get together for political
purposes

SURE TO FAIL OF PASSAGE
Number Of Measures President
Desires to Have Enacted.

Washington, April 16.-The leaders
of congress have notified the presi-
dent that several laws which he de-
sired to have enacted at this session
will not be put through. A recapitula-
ton shows that when the session
ends congress will probably have
failed to pass many of the most i'm
portant measures recommended by
the president. They are as follows:
Restricting the power of the fed
eral courts in the issuance of injunc-
tons in labor disputes; amending the
Sherman antitrust law SO as to estab-
llsh system Of federal licenses for
interstate corporations; to enable the
railroads to form traffic associations
so as to secure greater stability of
rates and returns; to remove some OF
the restrictions from combinations OF
labor: to prohibit railroads from
blacklisting union employees; empoW.
erlng the interstate commerce com
mission to control future issues OF
stocks and bonds of railroad property:

for insolvent railways; to remove the
duty on wood pulp; to provide for the
construction of four battleships in.

WILL REACH HALF MILLION
Damage Caused by Breaking of Dam
Near Helena, Mont.


Helena, Mont, April 16.-Two lives
have been lost, the villages of Hauser
Lake and Craig have been destroyed,
q dozen cabins at Oxbow, the site of
another dam, have been swept away,
railroad traffic has been tied up and
ranchers have lost heavily in live
stock and buildings as the result of
the bursting of the $2,000,000 dam at
Lake Hauser. Many thrilling escapes
from death have been reported The
loss from the flood will reach $500 900.
Great Northern Agent Stewart of
Wolf Creek reports that the track
from Wolf Creek east as far as he can
see is flooded to a depth of three feet
and that for three miles or more it is
completely washed out and in places
overturned, while the rails are twist
ed and bent in every shape by the
foaning waters. Twenty-eight miles
of track are under water
II is figured conservatively that for
at least twenty days no trains can go
over the line and no repair work can
be done until the water between Wolf
Creek and Cascade recedes.
The washing out of this stretch of
track between Wolf Creek and Cas-
cade will tie up practically the entire
traffic of the Great Northern between

Arabs, have been concentrating for
some weeks past on the western from

desp erately and not only beat off their
adversaries but pursued them for six
miles So hot was the pursuit that
the Arabs, in their headlong fight,
abandoned their dead and wounded.

fell into the hands of the French
The French victory was costly
Twenty EIGHT men, including an officer,
were killed and 100 men, including
ten officers. were wounded The

heavier, no less than 125 dead bodies
being found by the French troops.

The discussion in committee was

MEETS WITH DEFEAT
Presidents Naval Programme Is
Turned Down by House.
WANTED FOUR BATTLEsHIPs
Executives Recommendation Voted
Down by Large Majority After
an Extended Debate.

Washington, April 16-By a vote
of 1919 to So the house of representa-
tiyes decided against the president S
programme for four battleships and
adhered to the recommendation of it's
committee on naval affairs for two
vessels of that type. This result was
reached after a debate which lasted
for four hours, and was received with
applause.
The entire session was devoted to
consideration of the navy increase
provision of the naval appropriation
bill. AS this increase was provided
in the last section of the bill, the
measure was practically concluded
with the disposition of the provision.
The committee of the whole con-
cluded its work and will report it to
the house for final vote on it's pass
age.
The provision for battleships was
the chief subject of interest, the COM
mlttee's recommendation for two ships
of that type prevailing by a decisive
vote after a hard fought effort to in
crease the number to four.
TaWney Opposes the Increase.
The increase was opposed by Mr..
Tawney, chairman of the committee
on appropriations; Mr.. Foss, chairman
OF the committee on naval affairs.
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
and others and was advocated by MIR.
Hobson of Alabama, who declared that
in relation to the increase of old ma
tons, four battleships would only
keep the American navy abreast of
other great navies. Mr.. Longworth
OF Ohio in a vigorous speech told the
house that the president was more in
terested in this increase than in any
other question before congress and as
practically all of them had in the last
election declared that they supported
him, this was a good opportunity to
live up to that declaration
