This claim was made today by

The project would benefit the coun-

clared Kavanaugh and he suggested
that the workers and machinery en-
ployed on the Iskhmus be transferred
from the completed canal to the Mis-
sissippi river. The deep waterway
would cost considerably less than the
Panama canal, said Kavanaugh.

OSBORN SMILES At
ILLUMINATION" PLAN
OF STANDPATTERS
"Let EN- Pound Away, Pm Not

Before Convention Opens
HE HOPES TO AID IN
BUILDING UP PARTY
--
Reactionaries Oppose Nomina-
ton of Kuhn and Wykes,
Appointes of Executive

Tho caucus Of the first dlctrict
delegates, held In the Light Guard
armory at 10 o'clock, Tuesday
morning, was featured by an ad-
dress by John D. Maekay, who
deplored the attempt that he said
would be made to defeat Justice
Franz Kuhn for denomination.
He paid q warm tribute TO JUS
tloe Kuhn and urged support for
him. Maekay and George 3.
Yerkes were reelected the dis
trIet's representatives on the state
central committee.
Gov. Osborn, If early indications
mean anything, Is 10 be the storm
center OF the Republican state con-
vention which was called TO order
in the Light Guard armory at IL
o'clock this morning. The old organ
ization, ''standpat" crowd plans to
wipe out every last vestige of pro
gressivism" in the party, to punish
an yof those who lent aid and comfort
TO the third party movement in Mich
igan, and to eliminate" sborn. They
have concentrated their efforts on
Gov. Osborn, and the indications are
that there will be a Iively squabble.
II is said that Osborn's enemies will
seek to prevent him from addressing
the convention.
Another big fight in the convention
is likely to be over the candidacy OF
Justice Franz Kuhn for nomination
for the long term on the supreme
court bench and that Of Roger J..
Wykes, who seeks denomination as
attorncy-general. Both received their
appointments from Gov. Osborn,
which is sufficient to invite the wrath
OF the anti-Osborn, reactionary crowd.
The anti-OsDorn people have picked
Judge Howard West for the nomina-
ton for Justice Of the supreme court
In opposition to Kuhn. Judge Alfred
J. Mills, of Kalamazoo, and Judge
John NcDonald. OF Grand Rapids, are
also mentioned as candidates.
Grant Fellows, or Hudson, who did
much to keep Michigan in the Taft
column in the presidents contest with
Roosevelt for the nomination, is the
reactionaries' candidate for attorney
general in opposition to Wykes. The
John d. MacKay boom seems to have
been short-lived.
Gov. Osborn arrived in the city,
Monday night, and is In the conven-
ton as chairman of the Chippewa
county delegation. Opposition to Os-
born In the convention is 80 strong
that Richard Fletcher, former labor
commissioner, against whom the
governor preferred charges, proposed
among the reactionaries, Monday
night, that Osborn be refused admis-
sion to the convention hall on the
ground that he is not a Republican,
having given support to Col. Roose-
welt and Senator L. Whitney watkins,
Progressive candidate for governor.

Interest was added to the situation
by the fact that former President

DEPOT CHANGES
Street Station May Again
be Brought Into Re.
QUESTION

For several days rumors have been in
circulation in this city to the effect
that proposition is being considered
by the Washington and Old Dominion
Railway Company, which incorporates
the Washington and Ohio Railroad, to
utilize the old station of the Washing
ION Southern Railway, at the northeast
corner of Cameron and Fayette streets.
This station was abandoned IN the
fall of 1904, when the present union
passenger station was built.
It is said that the present opera
tors of the Washington and Ohio Rail
road, or what is now more generally
known as the Bluemont Branch of the
Southern Railway, believe Cameron
and Fayette streets more satlstac-
tory situation for a railway station
than the northeast corner of Princess
and Fairfax streets.
It is also rumored that a PROPOSE
tion to run freight cars of the Blue
mont Branch to the Southern Rail-
way depot at Duke and Henry streets
is being considered.

STREET WORK PROGRESSES.

There has, so far, been no move
ment on the part Of dissatisfied
property owners on Washington
street to stop the work of improve
ment on that thoroughfare by injunc-
ton, although there is some talk OF
this recourse. Most of the cobble-
stones on the square between King
and Cameron streets have been re-
moved and the work of replacing
water and gas pipes is being prose-
cuted.
Those who object to the narrowing
of the roadway are as firm IN their
convictions as ever that such course
should not be pursued, and urge rea-
sons which they think sufficient to
show that the width of the sidewalks
should be made to correspond to those
further north on Washington street
where tar macadam roadways nave
heen constructed. The authorities,
however, view the matter through
other lenses, and are still as firm IN
proper grade the sidewalks shou'c be
EIGHT instead of four feet south Oh
Queen street. Besides it is contend
cd that with the latter width trees on
the thoroughfare would be too near
the curb and would be undermined
bent and rendered unsightly in places
When improvements were in progress
IN south Fairfax street some hne
shade trees were undermined and de-
stro yed. This was, of course neces-
sarv from the fact that Fairfax street
&c much narrower than Washington
street.

WHERE TO LAND MELONS
Dealers Object to Carrying Fruit to
the Corporation Wharf.
at Point West"

A special session of the Police
Court was held by Justice Thompson
at four o'clock yesterday afternoon
to hear the case of G. E. Price & 60.
against William Arlington, the latter
being charged with violating the Ia"
by landing watermelons at the ola
Pioneer Mills wharf and other places
in the face of city law which re-
quires those engaged in the trade to
carry their boats to the fish wharf
where the law provides fee for the
lessees. This is a chronic issue, some
taking the ground that the law IS oD-
solete and does not apply to present
conditions, but is a relic ofprimltlEe
times in the city's history when bread
was required to be Of prescribed
weight before it could be placed on
sale, when a changing bell called the
members of the City Council togeth-
er, when the night police were com
PEELED and made to cry the time eY-
ery half hour and blow fish horns at
ten o'clock when they went on duty.
A decision was rendered in the To-
lice Court recently to the effect that
it was not obligatory upon Waterman
to land watermelons at Fishtown pro-
vided he paid the prescribed fees to
the lessees. This decision was unsat-
isfactory to the lessees, but was as
scented to by the dealer who had been
arraigned.
After the plaintiffs had made their
statement yesterday afternoon the
defendant suggested that all dealers
should be made to comply with the
law. and said in the future he would
carry his melons to Fishtown and
would pay fees on such as he had
landed at other places. This being
satisfactory to the lessees, the pro-
ceedings were quashed.
The court in dismissing the case
announced that as the law was in the
city code, it would be carried out Sc
far as compelling dealers to pay
fees upon melons they may land IN
this city if ordered, and those feeling
aggrieved could take an appeal to the
CORPORATION Court which is the proper
tribunal to decide upon the validity
Of the law.
