PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-Presi-
dent Taft will have nine delegates
from Pennsylvania in the national con-
vention. The other sixty-seven are for
Roosevelt. This was made sure to-
day from the final returns of Satur-
days preferential primary. Twelve of
the 81 Roosevelt delegates mentioned
are delegates-at-large to be chosen by
the state convention. The returns are
not absolutely complete yet, but SO
few votes are lacking that the result
cannot be changed. One of the most
interesting results of the promary was
the defeat of John Dalzell, for 26 years
the champion of protection in con.

Kelly, of McKeesport.

WILL IS
REFUSED PROBATE
Judge Sustains Plea that the
Late Mary Roberts Was
of Unsound Mind.

An interesting incident was disclos-
ed in connection with the will of the
late Mary A. Roberts in the Wayne cir
cult court this morning during the
hearing of the objections to the pro-
bate of theSwill.
The plaintiff, Grace B. Strader, testi-
fled that the will was not found until
after the administrator had been ap-
pointed. While cleaning a cupboard in
the house she discovered some papers
which apparently had been hidden un-
der some boxes. Upon examination she
found that one of the papers was the
will of her mother, the late Mary Rob-
erts.
According to the will fifty-two acres
of land and personal property was left
to the sole heir, Grace Strader, which,
after the latter's death, was to become
the property of the two grandchildren
of the late Mrs. Roberts. Provision in
the will prohibited the plaintiff from
selling the land, which she desired to
do in order to purchase another farm.
Evidence submitted by the plain
tfff's attorney, Gath Freeman, tended
to prove that the will should be set
aside inasmuch as the decedent was of
unsound mind when the will was
made, November 81. 1911 Mrs. Strader
testified that her mother acted queer
ly for some time prior to her death.
During the period from 1907 to 1909
the late Mrs. Roberts spent $500 for
jewelry and larger sum for clothes,
a part of which she gave away. She al
so borrowed money when she had no
occasion TO do so, it was said
After number of witnesses test
fled that the decedent was of unsound
mind when the will was made, Judge
Fox sustained the objections to the
probate Of the Will

California. gold rush in 1S4S Dorr is
said to have had differences with
George Marsh, who was administer of
his adopted fathers estate. The in
formation that led the police to ask
for warrent for the arrest of Dorr
came from Boston druggist, named
Taylor, a former Californian. Taylor
read of the murder in the papers and
came to Lynn of his own accord to
tell what he knew of the case He
told Chief Burke that he saw Dorr in

The above statement was issued to-
day by the local branch of the Ameri-
can Seeding Machine company.
This statement silences the report,
current for some time, that the Ameri-
can Seeding Machine company was to
be, or had been, purchased by the In
ternational Harvester company.
Under the deal just closed the en-.
tire output of Hoosier, Empire and
chinery. manufactured exclusively at
the local plant of the Seeding Machine
company, will be taken over by the
great harvester company, which has
one of the most wonderful sales organ
izations in the world, and the products
of the Richmond company will find a
market any place on the globe where
seed planting machinery is used which
means practically everywhere.
While the deal just consumated
probably means the dropping from the
payroll of the local corporation. num-
ber of members of it's sales force; on
the other hand it means a large in
crease in the number of it's factory en-
ployes.
An official of the company stated
today, in explaining the new selling
agreement with the International Har-
vester company, that recently the
John Deere Plow company, which has
been selling large quantity of the
local company's goods throughout the
West, purchased a drill plant and,
therefore, it became necessary for the
Hoosier branch to either establish its
own branch house at several points in
the west or make arrangements with
some other concern having complete
sales organization. After much nego-
tiation a deal was closed with the In
ternational Harvester Co., for the
sale of the entire product of the local
company.
This will mean much, not only for
our company, but for Richmond" said
the official, "as it assures us the broad
est possible market for our goods,
and insures that we will be able to
keep our factory employed to its full
lest capacity
Should the International Harvester
company be split into several -divi-
sions, as the government demands in
the suit it recently brought against the
gigantic corporation, the agreement it
has with the Richomnd Branch of the
American Seeding Machine company
will not be affected. Last week the
government refused the Internationafs
compromise offer to split into two in
dependent corporations, the attor-
ney general demanding that the cor
poration be divided into six independ-
ent companies.

gressman Mckinley, of Illinois, direc-
tor of his campaign. and others.
This much is said positively: The
president will not withdraw and in
tends to be beaten in the convention
rather than do so. He is backed in this
determination by members of the old
guard, who are anxious, above every
thing else, to retain control of the
party machinery. They have support
ed the president, not because they be-
lieved he could swin, but because if
he were defeated they would still have
command of the machine.
~ No Compromise Possible.
Some of the old guard are talking
about a compromise candidate, but
there is small chance of this, conse-
quently the politicians behind Mr. Taft
are hoping, that Col. Roosevelt, if nomi-
mated, will be defeated, in which case
they will have their hands on the
throttle of the Republican party ma
chine.
Two men have been talked of as
compromise candidates, Supreme
Court Justice Hughes and Senator
Cummins. Justice Hughes will not per-
nit himself to be put forward as a
compromise candidate, he has told his
friends, and Cummins has been un-
able to hold his own state, Iowa.

LOCAL AUTOMOBILE
BUSINESS BOOMING
Four Manufacturing Con-
Germs Here Will Double
Their 1911 Output.

Present indications indicate that
the automobile manufacturing busi-
ness in this city will be greater this
year than in any previous year in the
history of this industry in Richmond.
The local automobile manufacturers
declare they will put out at least
twice as many cars during 1912 as
they manufactured, in the past year
The craze for motor cars is increas-
ing with astounding rapidity and the
four automobile manufacturing con-
Germs in this city declare that pros
poets for a record year are exceeding
ly bright.
The Davis Motor Car company will
double its output this year, according
to a statement made by George W.
Davis, head of the concern today. He
asserted that the company will manu-
facture at least 800 cars in 1912. In
1911, $50 Davis cars were sold.
will also double its output. it is au-
thentically stated The Westcott peo-
pie intend to place 500 cars on the
market. Lee Ashley, president of the
Westcott Motor Car company, stated
today that the company is over seven
ty-five cars behind now. Last year the
company manufactured 400 cars.
I'VE get orders for from eight to
ffteen cars per day and our building
capacity is but five cars per day"
said Mr.. Ashley. I'VE have material
for only 500 cars. but We expect that
before the year is over We will have
built $50 cars
The other companies manufacturing
motor cars-the Pilot Motor Car COM
pany and the Wayne Works-will both
put out a larger number OF automo-
biles this year than last.

has averted a great sea tragedy. The
Cunard liner Carpathia called by an
aerial flash asking for aid, rushed to
the assistance of the giant liner Tit
anic, in the darkness off New Found
land, early today and took on board
1900 passengers of that vessel which
struck an iceberg last night on her
maiden voyage to New York. Passen-
gers were taken off in small boats and
transferred to the Carpathia without q
single life being lost, according to a
dispatch this afternoon. About six
hundred were removed at dawn. and
then there was cessation for few
hours because of the heavy wind
which suddenly arose. When this had
decreased the rescue work was re-
sumed and the remainder of the pass
engers were transferred. Subsequently
part of the rescued passengers were
transferred to the Virginian, which
had followed the Carpathia upon the
scene and was later joined by the
Partisan. The latest reports received
here said that the Titanic was low IN
the water. but that Capt. Smith and
his crew had hopes of being able to
bring her into Halifax where she will
be docked for repairs.
