THE HoLMEAD-NoRRIs TANGLE.
IL VIII BE TnIsen Before the National
Democratic Committee.

Local Democrats are in no way becoming
reconcfled to the outcome of the last meet
ing OF the Democratic Central Committee,
in which an effort was made TO choose q
successor to the late Lawrence Gardner on
the National Democratic Executive Com
mittee. 1t is claimed by many prominent
Democrats that the opposition 10 James l..
Norris is gaining strength rapidly, and
that before the next meeting of the ma
tional committee takes place an organized
front will be presented. and the committee
made acquainted with the exact state Of
affairs.
The basis of the claim against Mr.. Norris
will be, il is said. the unprecedented ruling
of Chairman Clarke, of the central COM
mittee, that proxy could be recognized in
the presence Of a principal. II the members
of the committee who were present at that
meeting had been allowed TO vote, it is
strongly claimed that Mr.. Holmead would
have received an overwhelming majority.
1t is understood that this ruling viii be
made the subject Of memorial to the ma
tional committee, in which the legal as
poets of the case Will be fully and ably set
forth.
In refutation of the reported declaration
of Chairman Jones, that there is no prece-
dent for the settlement Of such disputes
by the national committee, William Dick
son gave the following statement to
Times reporter yesterday:
Senator James K Jones, Chairman OF
the National Democratic Committee, has
been reported as saying that he knew OF
no precedent upon which disputes had been
settled within the national committee.

years / served as a national committee
man from the District of Columbia. there
were several instances, but the most nota-
BILE case that comes TO memory was in the
Pennsylvania controversy. w. L. Scott
was the committeeman from that State for
many years. After his death meeting
of the national committee having been
called to take action relative to the call
ing of a national convention in 1892. Will
lam +. Harrity, of Philadelphia, presented
himself as a representation OF the State
James Kerr. of Clearf1eld, disputed Harri-
tvs right to do so. contending that a va
cancy caused by death or resignation could
only be filled through the recommendation
of the State central committee-their ae
ton 10 be approved by the national COM
n.ittee After debate the national conf
mittee passed a resolution in accordance
with Mr.. Kerr's views, and such resolu-
ton is a matter of record upon the min
utes. Hon Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio. was
at that time chairman, and Hon. Simon p,
| Sheerer, of Indianapolis, Ind, secretary. =
In this connection it may be stated that
/ Senator Jones was neither on the national
committee nor its chairman prior TO the
beginning of the campaign in 1896. when
he was chosen to succeed William F.
| Harrity.
John II. Rodgers. member of Con-
gress from Arkansas, and present United
States District Judge, preceded Senator
Jones from that State on the national COM
mittee.
Nj Dickson says that Senator Jones has
no record OF the contest between Kerr
and Harrity.

PLUoKY TURKEYS DAUGHTER
Though Severely Treated She Pre-
vents n Jail Delivery.

NASHVILLE, KY, Oct 14.-An attempt
ed jail delivery was frustrated yesterday
through the courage of Miss Bette McEl-
vain, the iailor's daughter. who held the
heavy iron entrance against a lot of pris-
oners, who were trying to force their way
out. Charley Shotwell. a desperate pris-
oner, slashed her hands with a caseknife,
but she braveiy held the door until Depu-
ty Jailor Slack got hisspistoi and fired one
shot at the gang and drove them back
search of the jail disclosed that the
prisoners had sawed through several iron
bars and were well supplied with enough
knives and rocks and pieces of old iron
to make desperate fight for liberty. There
are over twenty prisoners in the Jail, and
the crowd as whole is the worst gang
ever put there. The insubordination broke
out at noon yesterday. when they defied
the jailor and began singing, yelling, and
breaking out window panes. The culmina-
tion of the insubordination will result in
summary discipline of the principal offend
ers.
There is intense indignation against the
prisoners for mutilating the hands of the
jailors daughter.

Naming New War Ships.

In the selection of names for ships of
the new navy it is interesting to note
that New York New Jersey, California,
Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts and Chic
now head the list of States which nave
been honored. New York has a naval
namesake in the armored cruiser which
flies Rear Admiral SIMPSONS flag,
Brooklyn is remembered in the cruiser
of that name, the Greater New York,
as she is more familiarly known in the
navy: the Albany is one OF the cruisers
purchased from Brazil before the Span
ish war. These, with the Buffalo, for
merly the Brazilian dynamite cruiser
Nictheroy, complete the list for this
State.
The Presidents decision to christen
one of the new battleships New Jer-
sey gives that State the very respect
able representation of three naval
namesakes-the battleship New Jersey
the cruiser Newark and the gunboat
Princeton

Chinese Court Historians.

There are court historians in China,
as there are in other countries, but
there is one striking difference, and it
lies in the fact that the work of the
Chinese court historians does not see
the light until the reigning dynasty
| comes to an end.
In this way these Celestial historians
have an opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
various rulers and the real significance
their regime. They can write what they
please without fear of censure, for they
know that their work will not be pub
lished as long as the reigning dynasty
lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years, the first court historians
having been appointed by the imperial
! house of Han, which reigned from 206
B. C. until % A. D.
The duty of these historians is to
write a plain account of all the events
that occur during their tenure of Of
flee. AT regular intervals their COM
pleted work is taken from them and is
locked up in an iron safe or vault There
it remains until the first member of a
now dynasty ascends the throne.
It is then given with all the other
histories in the vault to the court his
torian who is then living, and from
the mass of documents he is expected
to prepare a truthful history OF the
dynasty which has just expired. The
present dynasty has been reigning since
1914 and consequently no court history
has been published since that date.
