gan Republicans split today in con-
vention featured by fist fights and call
ing out of state troops. The Roose-
velt leaders and delegates, after elect
ing national delegation, withdrew to
carry the question of disputed dele
gates before the national convention
at Chicago. The Taft forces claimed
the regular convention and began their
organization. They also will elect six
delegates to the national convention.
Bay City, Mich, April 11.-While
state troops held the front entrance to
the armory against eighteen hundred
delegates and contested delegates to
the Michigan state Republican conven-
tion today, Taft members of the state
central committee were admitted
through a small side entrance and Taft
| followers thus secured the first strate
getic advantage over the Roosevelt
men. The Taft members, who were
headed by acting Committee Chairman
Robert H. Shields OF HOughton, were
followed into the armory by Chairman
Knox and former United States Sena
tor Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana
who also came through the side en-
trance. Knox at once voiced emphatic
protest against the action of his com
mittee members but he was voted
down.
The committee then elected Shields
| temporary chairman and went aheat
with seating arrangements for the
delegates, who waited impatiently il
the street. Roosevelt leaders mean

of the Democratic state convention
here today to select New York's nine

man and Charles F. Murphy. The
fourth, it was believed, would be for
mer Judge Alton B. Parker. There

Evils Due to Tariff.
The platform as submitted by the
committee on resolutions declared that
evils of public life in the United

bills enacted by a Republican Con
gress. The efforts of the Democratic
majority of the House of Representa-

dorsed and President Taft was de

"Industrial Slavery

Washington. y. c.. April 11.-Labor
conditions in plants of the United
States steel corporation were de-
nounced as "a brutal system of indus
trial slavery" in the Senate labor and
education committees report on the
proposed eight hour law for govern
ment contract labor, submitted today.
The government is bound in its own
defense for it's citizenship, its lift, to
! interpose between the strong and the
weak" the report declares.
"No man can meet the obligations
and discharge the duties of citizenship
in a free government who is broken in
spirit and wrecked in body through
such industrial peonage. 1t is just as
much the governments duty to pro-
tect citizens for such outrageous treat
ment as from the burglar and high
wayman."
Hard After money Trust"
Charges that Wall Street influences
were blocking the House committee on
banking and currency resulted in an
nouncement today that the money
trust inquiry would begin April I. The
inquiry will also be pressed by three
other committees simultaneously.

DEATH Of POPE
4 FALSE RUMOR
Report Emenated From
Madrid and Was Sent
Broadcast
.P0NTIFF IS IN POOR HEALTH
He Continues, However, to Re-
ceive Churchmen in Daily
Audiences.

! BY Special Leased Wire to New Mexcan)
I Rome, April II, 4:27 p. m.-There is
! no truth in the rumor throughout the
world based on telegram from Ma
I drid that the Pope is dead. The
! Pope contlnIes his daily audiences.
{ He received today Cardinal Del Volpe,
/ Prince Borghese, Senor de Estrada,
/ the Argentine minister at the Vatican
and his family and Count Escoute and
/ j. G. Johghe. Afterwards the Pontiff
greeted several Italians and foreign
| personages.
/ The cable dispatch from Rome sent
| at 1927 p. M. and received in this
country shortly before noon, disposed
of the alarming report sent from Ma
drid and circulated throughout the
world early in the day that Pope Plus
! X, was dead. The first report said the
papal nunciature at Madrid had con-
! tirmed a private dispatch received
there announcing the Popes death. A
similar dispatch was received in Lon
don from Madrid. Meantime the cable
| from Rome was silent and for nearly
three hours, no direct communication
! could be had from that city.
! Urgent efforts from the capitals of
Europe, by telegraph and long dis
tance telephone, We're made to secure
direct information from the Italian
capital. Paris secured long distance
| telephone connection shortly before
noon and was informed that the Ma
drid report was untrue. Immediately
| following this telegraph and cable
| dispatches direct from Rome gave the
same information that the Madrid re,
port of the pontiff's death was untrue
Pope Plus has been in poor health, but
at no time has his condition reached
critical stage or one giving serious
cause for apprehension of those about
/ him.
News Agency Mistake.
Madrid, Spain, April 1.-THE Off
cial Spanish news agency explains
that its statement that the Pope was
dead was due to an error in a mes
sage received from Rome at the Pa
pal Nunciature here. 1t is believed the
error occurred in the deciphering of !
