BAD SPLIT IN MICHIGAN
Practically Two Republican
Parties in State Now.
Taft Wing and Roosevelt Faction
Each Has Central Committee
of Its Own.

Detroit, Mich, April 13-As a re-
silt of the split in the state Republic
an convention at Bay City there are,
in one sense, practically two Repub-
lican parties in Michigan today.
There are two Republican state cen
trail committees, each claiming the
other Illegal There are also two
state chairmen If Alex J. Groesbeck,
whom the Taft wing of the conven-
ton elected as state chairman, tries
to serve as such Frank Knox, Roose-
welt leader, elected chairman in the
fall II 1910 for a term of two years,
promises to carry the matter to the
courts.
The same is true with respect to
several committeeman who were re-
placed at the convention.
Each faction is equally positive that
its contentious are correct. The con-
testing committeeman base their
claim, they declare, on the state law
fixing the date of state central COM
mittee elections to follow the regular
fall primary or March primary.
There was no March primary this
year. The Taft forces on the other
hand, declare that law and custom pro-
vide for the naming of the state CEN

NOTE SENT TO MEXICO
United States Wants to Know
about Fountains Death.
State Department Awaits Reply to
Communication Sent Through
Ambassador Wilson.

Washington, April Estate depart
ment officials are anxiously awaiting
the reply of the Mexican government
to a note addressed through Ambas-
sador Wilson in connection with the
killing by the rebel forces of Albert
Fountain, an American citizen.
1t was intimated by an official of the
department that since this govern
ment did not recognize a condition of
war in Mexico the Mexican govern
ment may lessen the seriousness OF
the case TO some extent by taking the
view that Fountains death was not a
military act and that he was shot by
irresponsible persons who were an
tagonistic to the government.
Rercrts to the state department con-
corning the military activity in Mexi-
CO indicate that the federal troops
after having been driven out of the
town Of Jojutla. have recaptured the
place. Their victory is said to have
been consequential, and several rebels
were executed after the battle.

M'kINLEY Is INDIGNANT
Accuses Roosevelt Of Conducting
Campaign of Socialism.

Washington, April 15.-Director Will
liam B. Mckinley of the Taft cam
paign issued a vitriolic statement, in
which he said:
THE outcome of the Pennsylvania
primary is plainly indicative of the
fact that national issues are playing
only a small part in some states in
the campaign for the Republican NOM
ination. Instead of constructive
craftsmanship being put forth in effort
to solve the problems before the coun-
try and as bid for votes on the
ground of merit, a nationwide cam
paign of wilful and malicious misrep-
reservations, villification and assault
on the president of the United States
has been substituted.
"Such a campaign, amounting in fact
to a conspiracy, made not only to
humiliate the president personally, but
to commit the Republican party to
rank socialism, has not only been
countenanced but conducted by For
mer President Theodore Roosevelt"
He concludes by saying: "Tbe
president is in this fight to stay. He
will be the nominee of the Republican
convention at Chicago"

KEYSTONE STATE
FOR ROOSEVELT
Pennsylvania Primaries DupIi-
cate illinois Landslide.
.PEkROSE EXPECTED TO Retire
Delegates and May Get Them Ali
Think Result May Preszee Pen
roses Exit from Politics.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE sweep
ing Roosevelt victory in the Pennsyl-
vania primaries is only accumulated by
fairly complete returns from all parts
of the state.
On the final round VI, after the state
convention, which will elect twelve
delegates-at-iarge TO the Republican
national convention, Roosevelt will
have 20 OF the rs delegates from this
state and it seems quite likely that he
will have the entire delegation.
The supporters of President Taft
carried but one district west of Phil
adelphia, that comprising Lancaster
county, where Mayor McLain has al
most an unassailable organization.
In Philadelphia the Taft supporters
apparently carried the First, Second,
Third and elected one delegate in the
Fifth district But in the First dis
trict State Senator Edwin S. Ware, the
Republican organization. leader, and
his running mate, as delegate, have
announced that to their minds Colonel
Roosevelt is the only Republican capa-
BILE of saving the country 10 Republic
an rule.
The reorganization shows that at the
present writing President Taft may
count on the votes of E. T. Stotesbury
and John WanamaEer, who were elect
ed as delegates in the Second district;
X. H. Bromley, who was elected in the
Third; c. A. Disston of the Fifth and
w. Geist and William T. Keller, the
two delegates elected IN the Lancaster
district. This is the sum total of the
Taft delegates unless complete returns
make minor changes
Not only have the Roosevelt fol-
lowers swept the state for their dele
gates, but they have elected the ma
jority of the 372 representative to the
state convention, which will elect
twelve delegates-at-large TO the nation
al conventicr.
These twelve delegates already are
counted for Roosevelt. but the state
convention will have another and
more potent effect on Pennsylvania. 1t
marks the passing of United States
Senator Penrose as member of the
national committee, and many persons
are predicting that it also marks the
beginning of his exit from politics.
The Roosevelt followers will abso-
lutely dominate the state convention
They will nominate an auditor general
and state treasurer and for the first
time in many years will have absolute
control of the election machinery Of
the state.
In this same convention the twenty
five men nominated at the primaries
as candidates for the state senate,
when elected will hold over until the
time comes for the selection of a sue
cessor of Senator Penrose. From late
returns eighteen of these men are OPP
posed to Senator Penrose and the
ideas for which he stands.

New Orleans, La, April IA
crevasse that will inundate thousands
of square miles of territory in north
eastern Louisiana ard food the entire
Jensas river basin, comprising several
parishes, occurred in East Carroll
parish on the west bank Of the Mis-
sissippi river.
With a roar and a crash that could
be heard for a great distance. the
levee at Alsalia broke and opened
way for a stream of water that swept
everything before ii. The levee at
the point where the crevasse occurred
is about twenty-five feet in height.
About 100 feet of the levee went out
and at last accounts was rapidly
widening.
The break will put the Vicksburg.
Shreveport and Pacific and the Mem
phis, Helena and Louisiana railroads
out of business, flood the towns of
Tallulah and Roosevelt, and submerge
some of the largest and most fertile
plantations in the state.
The loss to live stock is expected
to be the greatest in the history of
Louisiana. Grave fears of life loss
are entertained. but these can not be
confirmed now.

Dead Soap Manufacturer Was Widow.
er of Seventy-Five, ard No Rea-
son for His Murder Appears
at Present.

Lynn, Mass, April Is. - There ap-
pears ct he present time to be an
other of the battling murder mysteries
of which Massachusetts has had any
number in recent years come TO light
through the discovery CT the body of
George z. Marsh, a wealthy soap man.
ufacturer of this city, lying on the
jagged rocks which form the embank-
ment of the state boulevard between
this city and Revere.
Mr.. Marsh, who was seventy-five
years old, had been shot several times
and an autopsy showed that the muir
der was committed some time between
9 and 10 o'clock the previous night,
the body evidently having been taken
in an automobile or carriage along the
boulevard and tossed over the fence
at the spot where it was found
The shooting had been done with a
32-caliber automatic revolver and five
shots had been fired One of the
steel tipped bullets penetrated the
heart, another passed through the
liver, one penetrated the abdomen and
two others made slight wounds upon
the head. There were indications of
a struggle having occurred near the
place where the body was found and
ROBBERY could not have been the mo-
tive as neither the dead mans watch
nor money had been taken
Thomas NJ Burckes, chief of police
here, says that he is completely baf-
fed and that at the present time no
one is under suspicion, but from other
sources the intimation was given that
a certain person is being shadowe5
and that an arrest would be made as
soon as some details were cleared up.
A story cropped out connecting a
woman with the case, and caused the
detectives to make an investigation
along that line. 1t was intimated that
Mr. Marsh might have met this
woman, who is of middle age, as she
vas in a carriage, and that he took
a drive with her, and that if she did
not do the shooting, that some other
person was met who killed Marsh for
reasons which cannot be determined
at the present time.

Yes, work has actually COM

menced. 1t is a little difficult to
say just exactly, but it begins to
look like work would begin soon.
To tell the exact truth about this
proposition, there is cement mix
er there, and there is one wheel
barrow, and barrel, also. Then
there is small pile of sand-coarse
sand. About two, possibly three
wagon loads.
The old timbers are not cleared
away on either end, or side, which
ever it is called. No digging is
done for the abutment work what
ever. Up to and including Thurs
