QUARREL IN MICHIGAN
MAY REACH courts
Republicans SO Badly Split
Practically Two Parties
Now Exist.

DETROIT. Mich. April 12.-As re-
suit of the split in the state republican
convention at Bay City yesterday. there
are, in one sense. practically two repub-
lican parties in Michigan today, al
though neither side will recognize the
other as representative of the party.
There are two republican state central
committees. each claiming the other IL
legal. There are also two state chair
men.
II Alexander ]. Groesbeck, whom the
Taft wing Of the convention yesterday
elected as state chairman. tries to serve
as such. Frank Knox, Roosevelt leader.
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 several COM
mitteemen who were replaced at the con-
vention yesterday.
Each faction is equally positive that
it's contentious are correct. The con-
testing committeeman base their claim,
they declare, on the state law fixing the
date of state central committee elec-
tions 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 strictly provide FOR the naming
of state central committeeman at a
state convention.

NEGRO FAMILY KILLED.
Fanatic Believed to Be Re-
sponsibIe for Murder in
San Antonio, Tex.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 12.-Wil-
liam Burton. his wife, two children and
Leon Evans, his brother-in-law. all
negroes, were murdered while asleep in
their home early today. The head Of
each victim appears to have been
crushed with an ak, and butcher knives
were found sticking in all bodies except
those of the children.
Apparently there is no clue to the
perpetrator Of the crime, but the police
believe that a negro fanatic is re-
sponsible. The manner in which the
negroes were butchered was in every
way similar to that in which four or
five negro families were recently mur-
dered in Louisiana. where a negro
woman, her. mind affected by devotion
to peculiar religious sect, later
acknowledged the crimes. This woman
declared the tenets Of her faith not only
demanded the killing of all those select
ed for execution by the sect. but their
children as well, on the. ground that
with their parents dead the children
would suffer from many privations.
