Roosevelt, Lafollette and Cum

IOWA MAN EXPECTS TO

Plan Is To Seat McGovern as
Temporary Chairman In

. BY OIL SOS' GAUDSEK
CHICAGO, June 13. —On the choice
»! h temporary chairman for the na
tioual conventiuu
the first teal of
strength Is likely
to come bet w ecu
he Roosevelt and
1 aft forces.
Hoot is the Taft
candidate.
McGovern, O f
Wisconsin, will
probably be the
Rooeoydt caudi-!
date. ,
If Root wins the
sumt vote would
be sufficient to
nominate Taft.
If McGovern!
wisn, the same
vote would not l
necessarily be
available for ihe
nomination of
Roosevelt. After
OUaoa Gardner, defeating Root and
heeking Taft, the vote* of Wiscon- 1
iu. North Dakota and lowa would
o back to their favorite son eandl
ate*.
Thus the result of McGovern s se
pction as temporary chairman might
aslly be a temporary deadlock be
ween Roosevelt and Taft, with the
fiance of power temporarily Mi the
.’nd« of Cummins and LaFollette
On one proposition Roosevelt. Cum
idn« and are agreed—
hat Taft must not have enough votes
o win on tho first ballot. In order to
revont tills it will probably lie neces
ary for Roosevelt. Cummins and J*a
’ollette to unite on the organizattap
f the convention. It Is now figured
V the Roosevelt managers *thaf“ the
ddßtpn of Wlteonehi. North Dnkbta
nd lowa to the Roosevelt strength
iould make the defeat of Root cer
aln. 1 r this figuring is acourate the
ame vote conld reject the report of
he credentials committee and seat
loosevelt delegates in place of those
eaied by the national committee. But
t Is reasonable to expect th it the
ummins and LaFollette forces will
or that only enough delegates are
eated fbr Roosevelt to spell Taft s
ominatlng majority and to leave
t’oosevelt with less than enough to
ut over his nomination.
This Is the plan of the “balance of
ower” combination.
In this situation it is the frankly
xpressed expectation of Cummins
iiat he will hold tho key to tho lead
ock. He has been courting ihe
Headship of both sides. The Taft
naaagers. particularly Crane and Me
vljhley, have been encouraging Cum
ri|s to.hqpe that he might be heir
j,|he Taft delegates IF Taft is flually
Qd admittedly out of It. His ii'ends
sf that the entire Taft strength with
oWa would be enough to nominale If
aFoyette were willing to con.riLute
da 36 and LaFollette’s feeling t to
vard Roosevelt are notorlouslv such
is to lead to the inference t.hat he
vould help Cummins to the nomln.v
ion In order to beat Roosevelt.
The Roosevelt people, of course,
!o not admit that the withdrawal of
'’lsconsin, North Dakota and lowa
vould leave Roosevelt short of a
• omlnating majority. They are wili
ng. they say, to abide by the results
if an organization accomplished with
ie help of Cummins and McGovern,
ihey figure that the moment It Is
vident that Taft cannot win th.> fight
o name Root as temporary chairman

Get What You Want
By W C. KENAGA
When vou buy groceries and other household needs
do you ask for advertised lines?
Do so and you will find a greater satisfaction in
your housekeeping.
Whenever a good article is brought out and exten
sively advertised a number of “near-like’' articles soon
make their appearance. Asa rule the “near-like” goods
resemble the original outwardly, but are so made that
their makers make a long profit through the advertising
of the original article.
The advertised goods are guaranteed—the others
vou buy‘at your own risk. Why should you risk any
thing after paying for commodities?
If you have not been in the habit of doing it try it
this week Don't merely say “soap.” but name the par
ticular snap you have seen advertised and want. Do this
with soap. hose, clothes, collars, etc. Demand and re
ceive advertised goods.
Whatever is worthy of your money is worthy oi a
maker’s backing. Insist on advertised goods and you'll
get them, for there are plenty of merchants in Detroit
who want to «ell them to you.
THE DETROIT TIMES.
NEW MICHIGAN CENTRAL
DEPOT APPROACH Will
COST CITY ABOUT $400,000
Times Makes Careful Estimate
Based On the Assess
ment Figures
THREE BLOCKS REQUIRED
In Addition To Original Cost,
City Will Have To Make
Big Outlay For Grading
It will cost the city at least $331,-
065 to buy the property between
Mlchlgun-ave. and the new $2,000,000
Michigan Central depot—the property
| which some of the aldermen of the
side wards are planning to con
vert Into a park-llke approach to the
depot. It may cost as high as $441.-
420. The actual cost, If the plan most
favored Is carried out, will probably
be somewhere betweeu the two
figures.
Since the plau was broached by
Aid. O’Brien, of tbe Tenth ward,
there have been many estimates of
the probable cost, varying from SIOO,-
000 to $500,000. The last step taken
by the council committee on street
opening In considering the project
several weeks agb was to have the
city engineer Instructed to draw a
map of the property with an estimate i
of the cost of the land needed and
the improvements to be made. The
engineer’s office is not now working
on the plan, the statement being
made that the office was never In
structed to get out the plan and esti
mate.
To obtain an accurate estimate of
the cost of the undertaking to the city
The Times looked up the assessments
against every lot and building which j
will be required to carry out the plan.
It is proposed to condemn all the!
property from Fourteenth-ave. to
Seventeenth-st. and from Michigan
ave.. on the north, to Dalzelle-st. and
the depot on the south.
Several plans were submitted by the
city plan commission to the aldermen
proposing to cut a wide thoroughfare
from the depot directly to Mlchlgau
ave. Th% thoroughfare would cut
through the intervening lots on a
slant and the aldermen did not con
sider the plan satisfactory. They
want two or three entire blocks con
demned. The position of the depot
is such HtM a portion off it would be
obstructed to the view from Michigan
ave.. If only two blocks are devoted
to the approach. The plan most fav
ored now is to oon4,emn all thre>
blocks.
The assessment on the land In the
three blocks is $118,120. The assess
ment on the buildings Is $102,590, the
total being $20,710. The total assess
ment represents, conservatively, two
thirds of the actual cash value of the
property. This would mean that if
the city could purchase all the land
and buildings at cash value, It would
have to pay $331,065. There are evl

CHICAGO, June 13. —On the ground
that the clulms of the Roosevelt con
testants from Michigan were unfound
ed either in law or in fact, the national
Republican committee last night seat
ed the Taft delegates-at-large from
that state, even without a roll call.
George L. Record, of New Jersey,
and Judge William D. Gordon, of Mid
land, presented the Roosefel* side,
and Alexander J. Groesbeck, of De
troit, and Paul H. King, of Grand
Rapids, made arguments for the Taft
glde. Because he had been sitting on
the national committee under a proxy
for several days, Gerrtt J. Diekema.
President Taft’s manager for Michi
gan, decided he would not appear as
a spokesman for the president. With
John W. Blodgett, national commit
teeman from Michigan, he sat as a
judge on the Michigan controversy.
The contesting delegates declared
unentitled to seats are Chase S. Os
born. Sault Stc. Marie; Charles A.
Nichols, Detroit; gybrant Wessellus.

City, and William D. Gordon. Midland.
The losing alternates are JefT o!
Brown. James Kinnane, A. D. Mcßir
ney, Perry L. Abbey, J. B. Barron and
MM ward Anderson.
Mr. Record argued that two con
ventions had been held In Bay City,
that the state committee had taken
upon itself the decision as to what
county delegates ought to be placed
on the temporary roll of the state
convention, and that more than 100
regularly elected delegates were kept
out of the hall by force. He said two
conventions were held in Wayne couu
ty; that in 31 precincts In that section
In the primary Election, the polls were
kept open less than the specified
four hours: that the Wayne county
delegation numbered 253, and that
• the Roosevelt forces elected a ma-

i Judge Gordon declared the Mlchi

I velt delegates to Bay City but the “In
fernal machine organized by the Taft
men" had thrown out 112 uncontested
Roosevelt delegates without admit

Mr. King, secretary of the state cen

call for the meeting of the Republican
state centraJ committee because
Frank Knox, state chairman, declined
to call the meeting together, and that
a majority of the committee had acted
without him. Mr. King declared tho
temporary roll call had been properly
made up. He s&ld the removal of
Truman H. Newberry, who had been
slated for temporary chairman, and
the selection of another chairman,
was authorized by the state com
mittee In regular form.
Mr. Groesbeck Bald Charles A.

PRESIDENT TAFT TO
SAVE COMMERCE COURT
WASHINGTON, June 13. So
strongly Ti President Taf! said to
believe in the need for the commerce
court that his friend* predicted to
day that he would veto the legisla
tive, executive and judicial appropria
tion hill, which provides lor übolitiun
of the court. The bill also provides
for salaries of otllcials.
The veto would be unusual, al
though government officials did not
believe last night that it would mean
anything more thun a second consid
eration of the hill and possibly the
passage of a separate bill abolishing
the court.*
Although some of the legftl advisers
of the president were Inclined to the
view that the president could veto
the amendment passed by the senate
repealing the act creating the court,
without vetoing the appropriation
part of the bill, that view was not
agreed to by man> members of the
cabluet, and it was said Mr. Taft him
self did not concur in it.

DOMESTIC RELATIONS
COURT PLANNED FOR CITY
8! ATTORNEY I, W, JAYNE
S. P. C. C. Official at Work On
Scheme and Hopes To
Have It Adopted
WORKS WELL ELSEWHERE
Non-Support and Similar Cases
Are Given More Care
ful Attention
Ira W. Jayne, attorney for the 8.
P. C. C., is starting an agitation, and
feeling out the public pulse on the
subject of the establishment of a
court of aoniestio relations for De
troit, similar to the ones now in
vogue iu New York, Chicago, and
other big cities, and he says he hoped
to have definite actlou taken on the
matter soon.
Supt. Thomas E. Dolan, of the
board of poor commissioners, who 1h
vitally interested in domestic rela
tions, Insofar as they concern mat
ters of non-support and other troubles
which break up families, and add to
the number of public charges, is en
thusiastlc In his indorsement of the
plan.
Mr. Jayne has consulted Supt. Do
lan about his pet hobby, and received
the latter's promise of support in any
effort toward the establishment of
a court.
"Since Detective James Cotter of
the local bureau, has been assigned
to the sole duly of Investigating fam
ily troubles, non-support cases, and
cases of abandonment, there has been
a big improvement in this matter,”
said Mr. Dolan. "It indicates what
could he done with an organized
court, to take non-support cases away
from the congested police courts, nnd
to also cut down the number of cases
in the circuit und Juvenile courts.
"All matters of a domestic nature
would be handled in the court of do
mestic relations. Quarrels cun often
be Mettled, If tactfrrtfy handled. Hus
bands who fall to support their wives
can be watched, and kept under the
‘tab’ of a card index system, subject
to frequent reports. Children, not
properly cared for. would aiso come
under the Jurisdiction of such a court,
which could find and place the re
sponsibility. and remedy the condi
tion.”
Mr. Jayne declared that such a
court was sure to come to Detroit
within a short time, or as soon as the
public is sufficiently aroused to its
necessity, lie plans to interest vari
ous public officials in the plan, and
arouse enough Interest in It to have
legislation framed for the establish
ment of a Detroit court of domestic
relations.

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June IS
—A motion was mads by Commit
teeman Sturgis that the peexy of
I F. J. Heney be rejected by the
national committee on the ground
that he la a Democra.t Haney took
the floor to dony that ha ia a
Democrat.
The motion waa tabled by viva
voce vote.
The committee seated the Taft
delegatee from the second, fourth,
sixth and seventh Mississippi
districts adding eight delegatee to
the Taft roll duNng the first 46
minutes’ work.
CHICAGO, June 13.—The chargee of
bribery and attempted turn poring with
delegates brought by the Taft force*
and challenged by the RooaeveF. man
agers, overshadowed all else in the
minds of the Republican party chief
tains here today. Following the em
phatic denial of Senator Dixon. lor
the Roosevelt forces, that there was
the slightest foundation so" the
charges, came a concerted demand
that Congressman McKinley cite spe
cific ’ instances instead of generally al
leged facts. This demand McKinley,
it was understood, was considering,
and a further statement on the mat
ter was looked for.
The charges, coupled with the
action of the national committee in
throwing out all of the Roosevelt dele
gates up to the present, has infuriated
the Roosevelt men to such s pinch
that they have no hesitancy in declar
ing that if necessary they will resort
to force to "get their rights."
An extended conference whicn last
ed well into this morning and which
begun last uight at 6 o'clock was re
newed today. Every one of the big
leaders of the Roosevelt organisation
participated. It was directed that
word would be sent Col. Roosevelt
that he was needed here next week.
There is littl edoubt In the minds of
the Roosevelt forces that their chief
will ventuslly decide to come here
and lead the fight in person. Francis
J. Heney and Fov. Johnson both de
clared today that they knew positively
that Roose'elt was coming. That
was the reason they said. tha>. Hie
contemplated big mass meeting* of the
Rooseevlt forces had been put over
until Monday. Roosevelt, they said,
would come here by that date and
would tell the people of the country
Rcenrally, and the delegates particu
larly, that he Intended getting his
rights It he had to fight for them.
Senator Dixon. Roosevelt's manager,
declined to discuss the report and in
sisted be saw no reason yet for the
colonel to come to this city.. But the
rank and file of the Roosevelt men
are already preparing to welcome him.
The Taft forces expect Roosevelt
to come here. They also expect that
he will swoop down on the hal! with
his delegates who have been thrown
out by the national committee and de
mand that they be restored to the
roll. And whether the colonel is here
or not. Bill* Flinn, Heney, Jonnson.
Cecil Lyon and Gov. Hadley, as field
captains for the Roosevelt forces, will
insist on sweeping all before th un
and the national committee and the
Taft leaders are preparing for any
thing that may develop.
For hours today the Taft men con
tinued iu consultation. William
Barnes! Jr., who has been selected to
match vdts with FI Inti and to check
mate any more that may be made by
the Roosevelt cohorts, talked tMux*
over with Fenroee, Crane, Mulvane,
Stevenson and other Taft men. They
all agreed that the Roosevelt forces
would try to seize the temporary or
ganization from the moment Victor
Rosewater, as chairmau of the na
tional committee ‘called it to order.

CITY MUST SETTLE
WITH TAX TITLE BUYER
The city must settle with Charlee
H. Wiltsle, Lux title buyer, of Roch
ester, N. Y„ for back taxes assessed
against its own property which was
sold for the non-pa> ment of taxes.
This unusual situation was detailed,
Wednesday, in a letter from .Mr. Wilt
sle to Council Secretary Schreiter.
The property involved is an unnamed
street running from Michigan-ava.
north, between Larkins and Martlu
als. in the Eighteenth ward The
property was donated to the city by
adjoining property owuera many
j e*ra ago, and, w'hile used as a street,
there is no record of the city having
accepted it.
The property was assessed to ad
joining property owners, but they
