f,cnn UULi.s ;4 .mUIIi AT METHODS USED County Chairman Denounces Taft Tactics Used at State Convention. ? Disgusted ; and indignant over th road roller tactics used by the Ta forces at Indianapolis at the eja convention, Wayne county Repiit cans are going to Connersyille tomorrpw ' determined to see fair play and to "fight to the last ditch." Republican County Chairman, Will J. Robbins, stated .this morning that there will be a "warm time" at the district meeting. 'Bobbins expects the Taftltes to attempt , to use the road roller tomorrow, but he says that if the Roosevelt forces can get In. control that everything will go for Teddy. Nevertheless he is pessimistic oyer the outlook. A large number of Republicans will leave this evening for Connersville, while others will go on the early morning interurbans to Cambridge City. It Is likely that the largest delegation will leave on the 9:40 limited interurban for Cambridge City, arriving at that town at 10:12 o'clock and getting the train for Fayette county' seat at 10:23 o'clock. "New Castle will be represented at the district convention with Roosevelt men," said Chairman Robbins. this morning. "According to information I have received Henry county Roosevelt supporters are going -to Connersville in special cars and will be accompanied by a brass band. A Roosevelt delegate from New Castle told me that the Taft forces can't steal the district convention as tfiey did the state.' " ,"1 am thoroughly disgusted with the tactics used at the state convention," Robbins continued. "It was nothing but a steal from start to finish and the Taft forces got together and . ran things through in a clever style. 'A presidential preference primary is something that we ought to have, I believe." TWO DIVORCE SUITS ENTERED YESTERDAY Two more divorce suits were filed In the Wayne circuit court yesterday. . Elsie D. Gibson is asking a divorce from Dennis I Gibson on the allegation of failure to provide. The plaintiff also charges habitual drunkenness. They were married in 1908 and separated in February of this year. After living with his. wife for six months, Ora F.

John Arbuckle Dies Suddenly at His Home Today f His Career. ; (National News Association) . NEW YORK, March 27. John Arbuckle,' multi-millionaire coffee and sugar magnate, .died suddenly this morning at his home, 315 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn. 1 "Mr. Arbuckle had been ill for several weeks, but had apparently recovered, and came. to his New York office from Brookly on Saturday. He seeded to feel the effects of his labor and remained at home on Monday. "He suffered a .relapse-shortly, after '2 o'clock this morning and failed to rally. Mr. Arbnckte,who"was over -72 years old, with his brother, the late Charles Arbuckle,' established the firm of Arbuckle Brothers in 1872. They introduced on a large scale the roasting of coffee and the sale of coffee in packages, and the firm gradually became the largest of its kind in the U. S. John Arbuckle, in addition to importing coffee, became a large importer of raw sugar. In later years he affiliated himself as director with ' a number of financial Institutions, among them, the Importers and Traders' Bank; Lawyers' Title Insurance and Trust, company; Mortgage Bend company of New York, and the Kings County Trust company. He was interested in live stock and owned several ranches in Wyoming. He was also president of the Royal Horse Association. TOWN OP GREGORY .

It is quite probable that. the Taft men will have a majority ot members of the credentials committee at the sixth district-Republican convention at
Connersville tomorrow. This conven tion will elect two delegates to the Republican national convention. However, it is extremely improbable that the district convention creden tials committee will be as valuable a weapon to the Taft forces as the cre dentials committee at the state con vention Tuesday, for the reason that in event all the twelve contested dele gates from Henry county are awarded to Taft the Roosevelt men will still have a majority of four in the con vention making it possible to overrule any objectionable action on the part of the credentials committee. On the eve of the district conven tion, which promises to be a battle roy al, the first skirmish being scheduled for tonight at Connersville, indications point to the fact that the credentials committee win stand 5 for Taft, 3 for Roosevelt. On the committee the following counties will . each have one Taft representative, Rush. Henry. She! by, Union and Franklin. Roosevelt will be represented on the committee by members from Wayne, Hancock and ayette counties. Today is was estimated that the del egations from the eight counties in the district would be divided as follows: Taft T. R. Wayne 8 20 Rush 10 4 Fayette 0 11 Franklin 5 2 Hancock 1 9 Henry ... 12 6 Shelby ' 9 6 Union 5 0 Totals ..48 58 Former District Chairman .Elmer Bassett, a Taft leader, will be on hand and try to play the same game that he did in the district caucus at the state convention. District Chairman Meredith will not attend the . meeting 'and will send his proxy to Connersville and it will, in all probability, fall Into the hands of Bassett, In this event he will try, it is .believed. Jo force himself on the convention as its perma nent chairman, to this event" a lively row will be started,: for should Bassett secure sueh a .weapon as the perma nent TcKkirmanshiphe would no doubt club Ib tOTvent and name the two 'national delegates fbr.-.-TaftyHVi-'i--.

CUT POPLAR TREES Over 500 Chopped Down by Council's Order. It is estimated that five hundred Carolina poplar or Cottonwood trees have . been cut down in the last two weeks, following the recent ordinance passed by council, decreeing that these trees must be cut down. These trees ruin sewers and drains by filling them with small roots. The city streets appear greatly changed, some of them having but a few trees left out of large groves. The poplars were exceedingly popular before they ruined the sewers, because of theircapacity for quick growth.:" ' " City engineer Charles has completed plans for the arch at the Glen which will be presented to -the board of works soon.

March 27, The house received today both the majotV ty and minority reports on .hills reviS tngnheVooTlwi .. n ... ,t.L t-a cratic and Republican members of the ways and means committee. The Democratic report attacked the data gathered by the tariff board and defended the ad valorem rates provided in the majority measure. On the other hand the minority report praises the work of the tariff board and "declares the specific rates of the Republican bill to me the most equitable and just revision of schedule "K." - A hint that the president will veto the Democratic bill is contained ' in the closing paragraph in the minority report, which says; "The official returns up to date in dicate a surplus of not less than $35,000,000 for the present fiscal year. What new excuse will now be invented for a revenue duty on schedule K, can not be conjectured until the report is seen. We invite the majority -to cooperate with us in passing the .bill we' present, and make a radical reduc tion now, instead of preventing, a reduction by adhering to the Democratic bill." : - - f .. '.- .. Irreconcilable -Views. - - The irreconcilable views of the Democratic, and Republican members of the committee are shown by the references to the tariff board on . the wool industry. ' The minority refers to the report of the board as "the very able and com plete report or the tarirr board on wool." The Democrats, referring to the same report, say: ; : j "The incomplete, fragmentary and unsatisfactory nature of the data and the inadequate, unreliable basis afforded for computation. - The Democratic bill is identical with that passed by the house last year in its attempt to revise the wool en schedule and provide for a 42 per cent reduction on the average of the existing duties on wool. The duty on raw wool is placed at 20 per cent ad valorem. Explaining that the report of the tariff board did not justify any change in the old wool bill, the ma jority report filed today, says : "The committee has made a careful analysis of the report of the board and in order to interpret the findings and to discover in what particular the committee's former bill was defective of failed to adjust the duties in an equitable and in a proper manner: This analysis has failed to reveal anything that requires a single change In the rates fixed by the old bill."
