FIGHT FOR TEXAS
DESPITE ROOSEVELT
Will Defy National
Committeeman from
Lone Star State

And Taft Management Will
Not Trust His State
ments OF Intentions
IS ROOSEVELT MAN

Washington, D. Cit is not TO be
entirely a primrose path that the
Taft forces Will follow in the dele
gate quest in the sunny southland.
No one appreciates this fact more
thoroughly than the directors OF
the Presidents campaign for yenom-
nation.
Thus far the Taft managers have
had things practically their own way
in the choosing OF southern delegates
10 The Chicago convention. That
ttror6ie is expected a little later,
however, was briefly stated in these
dispatches a few days ago. and ref
erence was made to Taxes, where
Cecil Lyon, national committeeman
and idolizing friend of Colonel
Roosevelt, mas controlled Republic
can politics for the last decade.
\ short dispatch from Galveston
printed here this morning indicates
The planning OF a fight, not only for
TAFT delegates in Texas, Dut for the
complete overthrow OF the Lyon in
iluence. Ii is assumed that Lyon,
angered by the e~ncroachment on his
preserves and using the name OF
Roosevelt TO conjure with, will fight
beck with every Weapon at his COM
mand.
The conflict is bound to be ono OF
tile most exciting i'm tho whole pre-
convention campaign. Texas Will
have forty delegates at Chicago and
the contest involves Tie breaking OF
the solid South.
II. f. McGregor OF Houston has
been appointed manager Of the Taft
campaign in Tc"as. II was deemed
wise NOT TO await opposition devel-
opments Gil the part Of Mr.. Lyon
ard aggressive methods were plan
ned immediately after Represents
tive Mckinley became the director
Of the national Tart bureau. EN-
pectations that Il formal announce
mont viii come from Colonel Roose-
Welt possibly within a week relative
to his attitude toward another term
as President hastened the prelinmi-
nalies. 1t was decided TO anticipate
anything that might happen.
National Committeeman Lyon has
intimated in desuitory fashion that
the Texas delegation YOU'D be for
the President. He has 'reckoned"
melody else would be IN the run
ming. Bluntly, however, the Taft
managers do not trust MI. Lyon.
The TeNas election Of convention
delegates is a long way Off and if
matters drittcd along without Roosc-
Welt being an actual candidate, Lyon
who always has boosted OF carrying
the Republican party OF his state in
his pocket. might corral the dele
gates and swing them in connection
With a stampede. Tho TAR man
ayers will take no chances, but will
put in the field candidates fer dele
gates who are net under the Lyon
influence.

Atlanta March 15-Eugene H. Grace forgot the near approach of death today long enough to enter into an exchange or personal jewelry with hls wife, Mrs. Daisy ope Grace, held in the county jail on the charge of firing the bullet which has severed Graces spinal cord. The exchange was initiated by Mrs. Grace, who requested the return of a diamond set ring valued at s200o which was left by her former husband, Webster Opie, for his little son.
 Give her this, too," said Grace, as he took from his finger a handsome Masonic ring. He also sent back the keys to Mrs. Grace's safety deposit box in Philadel- phia vault.
 In return Mrs. Grace sent back her husbands A T. o. fraternity pin and diamond ring, both of which she had recovered from a pawnshop in Philadel- phia for ss5 shortly after her marriage to Grace.
 Grace passed another good day today. He has a splendid appetite and facetiously remarked that the attendants were try ing to starve me to death."
 No move was made to secure Mrs. Graces release on bond.
 After he was informed by physicians that death shadows were lengthening around him, Grace last night laughed and tested as he read newspaper accounts of his dying condition. Grace spent part of the night reading magazine articles, several of which seemed to interest him greatly.

She still maintains her inno- cence, insisting over and over again that she did not fire the shot that, according to physicians, resulted in Grace now be- ing on the brink of enternity. She asked to see her husband before he expires. The question now Is interesting many persons here. So far 1t is said no ar engagements have been made for her to see him even when the doctors might pronounce him in a sinking condition.

SCULLY DISCOUNTS
 RECENT WAR TALK
Says Even in Case of War Texas Would Come Be-
 fore Alabama

Adit Gen. Joseph B. Scully spent yester- day in Birmingham. He stated to rep resentatlve of The Age-Herald that he knew nothing of the plans for mobilizing state troops in Montgomery for service along the Texas border save what he had read in the Montgomery Journal and a local paper.
 "Of course" he said, there is nothing in the stories. Alabama troops have hardly a chance to get on the border un- less the United States declares war against Mexico. In case at the present time national guardsmen are put into service it stands to reason that the troops of Texas would be the first to be called
 General Scully stated that there IS no definite plan to cut down the militia strength in Alabama from four to three regiments. We are making a rigid inspection, however" said he, and wherever a company falls below the standard it is mustered out. If at the conclusion of the work it IS demonstrated that only enough com- panies remain to make up three regi- ments then Alabama will have but three regiments. We are endeavoring to put the militia of the state on a firm and sane basis. Hitherto it is ap- parent that there has been too lax a regard for the rules and regulations under which military companies are ex- pected to be operated"
