Fight Revolves Around Control
of Temporary Organization
of Big Convention
TRAIN GUNS AGAINST
SEATING SENATOR ROOT
If He Is Made Chairman T. r.
Men See Little Hope of
Landing Nomination

CHICAGO, June 12.-Control Of the I
temporary Organization OF the Repub-
licsn national convention will mean
control OF the permanent organiza-
tion, with everything that body viii
do.
For the first lime the strenuous
battle between the Tan and Roose-
velt forces began this was brought
nome to the Roosevelt leaders today
Where many OF them had been adj
vocating dropping the fight on United
States Senator. Elihu Root, the choice
OF the Taft forces for temporary
chairman, they now realize that IL
Root is seated, the report OF the com
mittee on credentials will be the re-
port OF the national committee and
that this would mean the end of the
hope OF Rooseveltse nomination So
today the Taft and Roosevelt forces
temporarily abandoned the attempt
10 make votes for their candidates In
the effort to round up individual dele
gates for the temporary organization
plan.
The outcome is in the balance. A
careful canvass indicates a scant ma
jority for the Taft side. but II is so
small as to be practically negligible.
In fact today an exact duplication or
conditions as they prevailed just
prior to the assembling Of the Repub-
lican state convention in Ohio exists
here. Both sides think they have
control and the final outcome will
depend on who has the best field gen
erals.
Although they have abandoned hope
OF securing any concessions from the
Taft forces who are in control OF the
national committee. the Roosevelt
men are preparing for a final stand
in the committee on Saturday night.
At that time the work OF the COM
mittee will have--been completed and

sCHREITER is IN DANGER

Friends of the d. u. r. in the coun

age OF the ordinance increasing the
tax on the company's freight cars
from 81 to SO round trip, Tuesday
night. Every effort had been made
TO delay action, although the origina-
ordinance to increase the tax was in
troduced four months ago. The al
dermen expect the company TO refuse
to pay the increased tax.
Aid Tossy, who, with Aid. Hindle
signed the minority report OF the
committee In favor of postponing &C
tion, led the fight against increasing
the tax. He counseled delay until the

information from our accountant,
Then they suddenly found they could
give us the information, but they
wanted US To wait another two months.
They say the increase will come out

as well say don't raise the tax rate

wrong fence" said Aid. Louis Brozo,
who wanted delay. We've been in
the habit of acting too hastily and gea-

The tax of 81 was an arbitrary
tax, but they paid it. The only rea-

DEPOT WILL BE
OPENED TODAY

PLETED AND FORMAL OPENING
WILL OCCUR FROM 7 TO IL TO-
DAY-TWo BANDS TO ATTEND.

The formal opening of the new pas
senger depot of the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad at F1omaton is to occur
today, the hours being from o'clock
this morning to noon. Two brass
bands, one from Pensacola and the
other from Mobile, will furnish music
during this period, and it is expected
that quite a large number Of promi-
nent people from various points will
attend. Several have been invited and
will probably go from this city.
The depot has been under course of
construction for the past six mnnths
and is the third TO be erected there
by the Louisville & Nashville during
the past few years, two having been
destroyed by fire. The new depot is
more commodious and arranged more
conveniently for the accommodation
of passengers than either of its pre-
decessors. In fact, it is one Of the
handsomest stations along the main
line of the Louisville & Nashville.
Mayor Sully, of F1omaton, has been
preparing for this occasion, which will
be in the nature Of a public celebra-
ton, and officials Of various divisions
of the /. & N. will be among those
to attend.
