FIGHT IS BITTER
Roosevelt Contest May Be
Carried to Floor of Ma
tional Convention.
(National News Association

BAY CITY, Mich, April Zone of
the most hotly fought out contests
over the seating of delegation that is
to come before the Republican Ma
tional convention in Chicago is expect
ed to grow out OF the riotous meet
ing of the Republicans of the state
here yesterday, according to leaders of
both factions today.
The Roosevelt men are preparing to
carry their claims not only to the Gre
dentials committee, but to the floor
of the convention, if possible, and the
bitterness that marked the meeting
here is likely to be reflectd in Chica-
go. it is asserted. The Roosevelt fac
ton will be headed by W. Frank Knox
deposed state stairman, whose creden-
tials were ignored and who refused to
call the Taft convention to order. The
action of Governor Osborne in calling
out state troops to guard the conven-
ton hall will be brought in by the
Taft men to refute the story of the
Roosevelt followers that the Taft fac
tion used steam roller methods. Both
Taft and Roosevelt factions elected six
delegates at large to the convention.

WAYNE COUNTY TO
MEET THE DEMAND
Will Send Money to State
Treasury, Now Badly
Bent by Democrats.

1t is likely that next Monday County
Treasurer Albertson will send to the
state treasury the amount demanded
from Wayne countys Golfers, in the
recent call sent out by the financially
swamped state administration. 1t is
not known how much will be sent and
the call issued by State Board Of FL
nance is being interpreted in different
ways by the various county treasurers
in the state.
The call asked for twenty-five per
cent of all moneys due the state treas
ury in the June settlement" Many of
the county treasurers, harrassed by
numerous calls for such premature
payments during the past year. decid-
ed that the call meant "25 per cent of
the money due the state in June, in
the treasures at the time the money
is sent"
w. II. Volmer, state treasurer, says
that the misunderstanding which some
of the county teasurers seem to have
reached would have to be corrected in
some way. He says in case the Off
cials do not send the advance pay
ments asked for that another advance
payment call will be issued in May.
Deputy County Treasurer Ahl stated
today that the state administration
has gotten itself in a bad place and
that it is surely up against it." Depu-
ty Ahl says that the county treasurers
are taking the call just as it reads in
that twenty-five per cent of the mo-
neys now on hand should be sent to
the state in accordance with the call.
At the end of the fiscal year, 1911,
the Democratic administration had an
admitted deficit of $51 900 and an actu-
al deficit of 100000. it is said. 1t drew
on the 1912 revenue in September,
1911, to pay bills of the latter year.
1t is understood that State House
Democrats did not desire to make an
advance call for money in April or
May as they fear the political effect of
exposing the Democratic administra-
ton deficit.

CLUSTER LIGHTING
WILL KICK UP ROW
Supporters and Opponents of
Project to Take 1t Be-
fore Council.

There promises to be lively time of
it at council meeting Monday night
over the proposed installation of clus-
ter lights on Main street, advocated by
a majority of Main street merchants
and the Y. NJ B. C. branch of the Com
mercial Club and violently opposed by
Nimrod H. Johnson, superintendent of
the city light plant. who is supported
in his stand by Mayor Zimmerman
Johnson says the city plant cannot
afford to supply free current for such a
lighting system. but those who are
supporting the project say that if such
is the case there is something wrong
with the management of the light
plant as smaller cities than Richmond
can afford to have such systems
I'VE will thresh the whole matter
out before council and am going to
do some plain talking" said Mr.. John
son today.
Promoters of the project say they
will be on hand loaded for bear" and
it appears as though the fur will fly

our arrival passed away.
Last evening the general found
great difficulty in breathing. The nurs
es were in constant attendance and
Mrs. Grant decided that if they could
raise him from his bed and take him
to window it would improve his con
dition. The women tried their best to
lift the general. but they found the
effort was too much for them. One OF
the nurses called bellboy to come uI
and aid them. When the boy reached
the room he found the woman trying
to raise the general and without stop
ping to ask any questions he rushed
down stairs and gave the alarm. Their
everybody became excited. The gener
