Taft Is indicated by the fact that AZ
delegates go to the district conven-
ton from the Wayne county end OF
the district. This is the largest dele

termining factor. Twenty-four out OF
the 81 delegates from Genesee, the
only other county in the district TO
elect delegates thus far, are claimed
for Taft.
Charles A. Nichols and his friends
attended the convention, but the TAFT
faction did not give them look-in.
The Roosevelt forces did not attempt
TO elect any delegates TO the district
convention. The Roosevelt people

deal. and at one time in the proceed
ings William T. Harms, a Roosevelt
delegate from the first precinct OF the
Eighteenth ward, shook his fist in
the face of John ID. MacKay and Sen
ator George G. Scott, who acted as
chairman.
This is the crookedest deal ! ever

He was referring to the fact that
MacKay and Scott recognized only

remarks merely as ''ungentlemanly.
Aid. Lodge suggested that Cone
had grounds for having Schultz ar
rested, and as a final upshot or the
meeting the fiery prosecuted grab
bed his coat and rushed out OF the
committee room, when Lodge and
Aid. Vernon intimated their Intention
OF voting to approve the license. The
meeting was one or the most exciting
held in the committee room In
months.
On a former meeting OF the com
mittee Aid. Lodge expressed himself
so emphatically in favor of granting
the license that mistaken impress
sion got abroad and IL was published
that the committee had approved the
application. However, all the MEM

the floor OF the council.

This man borrowed the money from
the Provident Loan society. he
wrote that Cone had treated him IN
the most insulting and bulldozing
manner, and that he would have
nothing more to do with Cone under
any circumstances.
The prosecutor cited another case
where a representative OF the society,

REV. MARCUS SCOTT GETS
CALL TO CANADIAN TOWN
Pastor of Central Presbyterian
Church May Go To
Berlin, Ont.

The Rev. Marcus Scott, pastor of
the Central Presbyterian church,
may leave Detroit. He has received
unanimous call from the congre-
CATION of st. Andrews Presbyterian
church, Berlin, Ont, and is giving II
serious consideration. the pulpit in
the Ontario church is now vacant.
Mr.. Scott preached for the congre-
CATION, three weeks ago, and the in
vitation to become the pastor of the
church followed soon after he was
heard.
Il have not yet mode up my mind
whether / shall accept the call" Mr.
Scott said to The Times, Saturday
There are some details which ! am
waiting for. In week or SO / ex-
pect to know what course shall
take"
Mr.. Scott has been with the Cen.
trail Presbyterian church for IL
years. He came from Campbellford
Ont. He was educated for the min
istry in Edinburgh, Scotland. The
Rev. John McNeill. of Liverpool
known as the Scottish Sturgeon,
Is married to sister OF Mr.. Scott.
Berlin Is one OF the leading indus
trial towns In Canada. the furniture
trade Of the Dominion being practical
ly centered there. The place has been

The question: Is son rela-

OF Panama. IL comes up in this way.
Col. Goethels made rule few
months ago TO the effect that no man
could hold job in the canal service
where he would come under the i'm
mediate authority of relative who
might have power TO favor him in
salary or otherwise. Thereupon IL
was decided to foFtify the canal and
Coll G0ethals appointed his son.
George. TO have full charge OF the
engfheesfng work connected with
constructing the fortifications.
George reports directly TO his father.
So the question naturally arose: Is
a son relative OF his father? As
the appointment stands. IL Is pre-
sumed the question was decided in
the negative.
Senator Root was those who voted
and talked in favor OF keeping SEN
ator Stephenson OF Wisconsin in his
seat. His argument in favor of
Stevenson was as weak as his argu-
ment against Lorimer was strong. A
fair sample Is the following;

mier, oSir James Pliny whitney, sug-
