TWO PARTIES IN
MICHIGAN NOW
Roosevelt and Taft Factions
Each Claim to be Proper
Party Representatives.

Detroit, Mich. April 12.-As a re-
suit of the special interest in the state
republican convention at Bay City
yesterday, there are. in one sense,
practically two republican parties in
Michigan today. although neither side
will recognize the other as the repre-
sentative of the party. There are two
republican state central committees,
each claiming the other is illegal: al
so two state chairmen if Alex j.
Groesbeck. whom the Taft wing of the
convention yesterday elected as state
chairman. tries to serve as such.
Frank Knox, the Roosevelt leader.
who was elected chairman in the fall
of 1910. for term of two years.
promises to carry the matter to the
courts. The same is true with respect
to the several committeeman who
were replaced at the convention yes
terday. Each faction is equally posi-
tive that its contentious are correct.

TAPS FOR GENERAL frederick DENT GRANT
BY C0MMANDER.|N-CH|EF Of THE UNIVERSE
DIED SUDDENLY &c. q,
THIS MORNING
Serious Illness Had Been
Kept From the Public
Public Shocked

New York. April 12.-General
Frederick Dent Grant, commander of
the department of the east. and the
son of the famous civil war general.
died suddenly at o'closk at the Ho-
secretly taken Wednesday evening by
his physician.
His presence in this city was not
known until the news that he was
suddenly stricken was flashed to the
newspaper offices. A policeman sta
toned near the hotel had called an
ambulance at the request Of an en-
ploye. who told him General Grant
was choking to death.
Although there had been rumors Of
General Grants illness and reports
that he never again would take up his
active duties at Governors Island. the
news of his death came as distinct
shock to the public.
According to DR.. Robert Able and
DR.. Edward B. Dench. his physicians.
death was caused by heart failure.
The general had been suffering for
some time, they asserted, in their Of
ficial statement, from diabetes and at
tendant digestive disturbances. Re-
cent reports that General Grant had
been in a private pavilion in St.
Luke's hospital in this city. suffering
from cancerous growth under the
tongue. the same affection which
caused the death of his distinguished
father, were denied today by the hos
pital authorities. DIR. Able, who has
been the generals family physician
for many years. refused to discuss the
subject.
Mrs. Grant was with her husband
when he died. The nurse was the
only other person present.
i~<l
erals condition had suddenly become
serious was given when Mrs. Grant
ttiGphonc1 the hotel clerk about 1:45
o'clock. "The generals dying" she
said hystefically. "Get doctor
quick" She added that he had been
seized with choking spell.
The general died before the phys
1cians arrived.
To the newspaper men who reached
the Buckingham shortly after mid
night. efforts were made by the at
tendants to deny that General Grant
was at the hotel.
For more than a month his where
abouts have been mystery. Follow
ing the announcement that he had
been granted four months leave Of
absence, expiring June 1. reports were
current that an illness. believed by
many to be cancer of the throat. had
caused his temporary retirement.
These weer denied at Governors ISL
and where it was stated repeatedly
the general had gone south for rest
Dispatches from Tampa. Fla. last
week stated he was at the winter
home of Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chi
cago, sister of Mrs. Grant.
The report that he was in st.
Luke's hospital. this city. for opera
tive treatment became public Wednes-
day and while not officially confirmed,
was widely credited.
The manager of the Buckingham.
q quiet little hotel on Fifth avenue
stated this morning he had been told
General Grant had come directly to
the hotel in an automobile from st.
Luke's. The patient at that time was
in good health and spirits and walked
from the automobile to the ELEVATOR
unassisted.

NO BELL|GERENT
RIGHTS TO REBLES
Execution of American Gun
ner Has Created Prejudice
Against Them.

Washington, April 12.-The indig-
nation of the state department off,
cials over the execution of Thomas
Fountain, the American gunner, who
was captured by the rebels at Parral.
Is believed to be certain to prejudice
any attempt on the part of the Mexi-
can rebels to secure any recognition
OF belligerent rights. so necessary to
successful conduct Of their cam
paign.
The state department did every
thing In Its power to prevent the ex-
ecution which in it's opinion was in
violation of the rules Of war of ali
civilized countries. A telegram re-
ceived only this morning from Amer
lean Consul Letcher at chihuahua.
dated on April 9. and much delayed
IN transmission. said that the consul
had protested to the rebel chiefs
against the execution of Fountain, not
only at Chihuahua. but at Parral,
where the man was arrested. How.
ever he had just heard through the
local newspapers. which he believed
to be accurate, that Fountain had
been tried and executed that morn
ing.
In the opinion of the state depart
ment. the execution was a deliberate
murder. In his proclamation. Presi.
dent Taft warned Americans against
participating in the revolution, indi-
eating plainly that they would do so
at their own risk. This. however,
does not preclude the American gov
ernment from taking measures to Sc
cure reparation. There does not an
pear to be any immediate action in
contemplat ton.
At the time Of Fountains execution.
Orozco. the rebel commander chief.
directed long statement to the state
department. This might be regarded
as the forerunner of an application
for the recognition by the United
States of the belliGerency of the Mex
ican rebels. In 1t Orozco expressly
denied the existence of any feeling
hostile to Americans on the part Of
the rebels and repudiated the proc
lamation which was widely circulated
along the border recently bitterly at
tacking the Americans in Mexico.
