FIRE SWEEPS THROUGH
GRAIN ELEVATORS

OWEN SOUND, Ont, Dec. 12.-One
million bushels of wheat, oats and
barley were destroyed by fire which
swept through the elevator plant of
the Canadian Pacific railroad late yes
terday. The financial loss is heavy.
The fire started in elevator "a

ity that the fremen could do little
except ito save adjoining property.
It was, with difficulty that the
steamer Athabasca was moved from
alongside the elevator, where she was
berthed, to point of safety. The
steamer Keewatin also had to be

DEMAND FOR DIRECT
VOTE NETTLES PRESIDENT
Ohio Delegation Insists on Presi-
dental Primary--New
Is Victorious.

WASHINGTON Dec. 12.-With
three lively rows going on simultane-
ously. the Republican national COM
mittee met at noon today to select
the convention city, probably Chi
cago; set the dates, probably the
third week OF June; and to name the
committee on arrangements, which
VIII probably be headed by Harry s..
New, OF Indiana
The selection OF New caused one OF
the rows. The southern members of
the committee opposed New, and the
Dixie cause was championed by Post
master-General Hitchcock. New had
the support OF Secretary Hilles, back
ed by President Taft. Hilles and
Hitchcock went to the mat and Hilles
won.
The absence OF William L. Ward,
committeeman from New York from
the presidents dinner was the sign
of a second line OF friction. Ward
putting at heavy cigar, told in a ro-
bust voice how he was feeling indis-
posed and had to be Careful about
the night"
II is said Ward has never been cor
dial toward Taft since the president,
at the opening of the Stimson cam
paign in New York, denied that he
was supporting Vice-President Sher-
man for chairman OF the state con-
'vention, when the old line organiza-
tion had been given to understand
that he was.
The most serious stir In what is
usually harmonious, enthusiastic,
but routine performance, Is that pre-
cipitated by the delegation from Ohio
insisting that the delegates at large
to the national convention from that
state be selected by a presidential
primary rather than by the state con-
vention. This Is said to be the most
discouraging feature of the meeting
TO the president
The Ohioans scarcely veil their
threat that III their demand is not
granted the state convention will
elect an anti-Taft delegation at large.
But their alternative Is scarcely more
pleasing to the Taft supporters. Ohio
already has law providing for the
selection of its AZ congressional dis
trict delegates at a Republican pri-
mary.
Several Ohioans here, mostly mem
bers OF the old line organization in
control Of the states Republican pol
Itics, allege that Taft cannot get a
delegate north OF Columbus in such
primary, and will have a fight to
get delegates in the southern half OF
the state.

EFFORTS MADE TO REACH
OTHER LIVING MINERS
Rescue of Five Men Gives Hope
That Others Are Alive in
Mine at Briceville.

BRICEVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 12.-
With flve men rescued from a living
tomb in the Cross Mountain Mine OF
the Knoxville Iron q Coal Co., and
rappings heard In another part OF the
mine, indicating that others survive,
hope has revived and weeping has
given way to rejoicing in Bricevilie
today.
Government rescuers today esti-
mate there are 25 to 80 men still alive
I'm the mine.
1t is certain. however, the death
list will be large. The rescue last
night of the five living men followed
few minutes after the recovery OF
10 dead men. Seven more dead bodies
were recovered this morning.
The rescued men had been in the
mine 81 1-2 hours. They had only
the meagre lunches taken in with
them Saturday to eat. To assuage
their thirst they were compelled to
drink the water in the mule trenches.
The rescued men were carried home
in wagons that, during the day, had
been used as hearses. Several of them
were too weak TO stand.
There were originally seven In the
lparty-Thomas Henderson and his
son, Milton, Irwin Smith, Arthur
Scott, Dori Irish, John Dun and
Arthur Smith. SATURDAY. night dis
agreement as to what they should do
arose. Duff and Arthur Smith decid-
ed TO try to fight their way out. They
have not been seen since.

lister of public works in the whitney

day. defeating SEVERN Ducharme,
Liberal. and John X. Mason, lnde-
pendent.
With returns incomplete from one
poll In Tilbury North, DR.. Reaume Is
credited with a majority OF Az by the
Conservatives, while the Liberals con-
cede him but 20. The Liberals think
that the missing returns may faVor
Ducharme, possibly giving him enough
votes to win. In any event, there
will likely be recount. oo
DR.. Reaume got majority OF l39
over Ducharme in Windsor; 2OI IN
Walkerville; So in Sandwich East, and
six in Maidstone. In the town OF
Sandwich, Reaume and Ducharme
split even, each getting 142.
Ducharme got a majority of bS In
Belle River, his home; 80 In Sandwlch
West; four In Sandwich South; l4S
in Rochester, and more than 15O in
Tilbury North.
Mason, the independent candidate,
didn't make as strong a showing as
his supporters anticipated. He got
only about 1000 votes altogether,
windsor supplying the most of them.

DENOUNCES PLAN
TO PAROLE WEICHERS

MARQUETTE. Mich, Dec. a.
Bitter denunciation of the plan to
parole wolf Weichers from Mar
quette was uttered by Warden Rus
sell of Marquette prison. He said the
state board took action without con-
sulting him and that IL he had been
consulted he would have opposed the
proposal strenuously.
Mr.. Russell declared he regarded
the boards decision travesty on the
parole law. Weichers. he said. was
one OF the worst behaved men in the
prison, and even on the very day the
board was here the man was under
going punishment, having been locked
in his cell.
He had been reported many times
before, and throughout his career az
the prison had shown vicious and
spirit Mr.. Russell can't
understand why this parole was grant
ed in advance since Weichers does
not become eligible until Jan. % next.
and Il Is also a mystery 10 him why
the term OF probation has been made
only two months. Never before at the
prison has term Of parole been made
so short.

POLITICAL COMPETITION
is VITAL, SAY SPEAKERS

That the numerical strength of the
political parties should be as even as
possible in order to obtain the best

fairs, was the keynote of speeches
by the Rev. Joseph A. Vance, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, and
State Senator James II, lee before the
Mems association of the Fort-st. Pres
Monday night.
Mr.. Vance declared that political
party is susceptible TO corruption
when II remains in power as long as
% years, and Senator Lee expressed
the conviction that Michigan would
fare better both In its state affairs
and representation in the national
cabinet and other official circles In
washington were II not so over
whelmingly Republican.
"Ante-Bellum politics" was Mr..
Vance's topic He reviewed the his
tory of the United States up to and
including the civil war and laid en-
phasis on the intellectual greatness
OF Webster, Clay. Calhoun and others.
Senator Lee spoke on Michigan poll
tics" He gave word picture OF the
inside workings of the Michigan leg
islature and dealt with some OF the
most important bills that came up for
action in the last session. He said he
was in favor OF the recall as IL may
be applied to administrative officials,
but opposed the plan to apply 1t to
the judiciary, maintaining that jurists
often are victims Of faulty laws.
