 cratic City Committee.

Philadelphia, Sept. 20-A sensation was sprung in local political circles tonight when ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison announced his resignation as Chairman of the Democratic City Committee as a result of the action of the County Con- vention in nominating straightout Democratic ticket. Coupled with this announcement was a suggestion from Mir. Pattison that a new Democratic or ganization be formed in the city, which brought out a statement from National Committeeman James A. Guffey, hearti- ly endorsing the suggestion.
 The party organization in this city Is controlled by ex-Ctty Chairman Charles P. Donnelly, and City Commissioner Thomas J. Ryan, and there has of late been much opposition to their leader ship Efforts have been made by Mir. Pattison and his supporters to have the organization fuse with the union party of this city. which has nominated F. F. Rothermel (the incumbenD for District Attorney against the Republican nomi-

 SSJuly when he was arersted at Charles S/n, s. C., on the strength of printed of him which had been sent out. On being brought back to Alabama he was confined in jail in this city for safe keeping. At his preliminary hear ing he was positively identified by his victim. Governor Jelks ordered a special term of court and when it met Brown was at once indicted. His trial occurred on August 9 at Ashville and lasted but two hours. He was convicted and the death sentence was imposed. A great crowd was in town that day and when it became noised abroad that the negro was to be brought back to Birmingham for safe keeping a mob attacked the court house where Brown was still confied in charge of Sheriff North and twenty-eight deputies. The sheriff's posse defended the pvisoner. with the result that Walter Blankenship was shot to death. Arthur Blankenehfp and a boy named Hanby were wounded. A big rain came up and the mob dispersed. Brown was then spirited away to Birmingham, making a confession en route. There has been feeling in St. Clair. County over Browns crime and the subsequent courthouse shooting and for that reason the civil authorities deemed 1t best to have troops present at the execution today.

 Hail

Guthrie, Ok, Sept 20.-George Brad shaw, the carpenter who was mobbed in Oklahoma City for refusing to walk under the American nag in the Mckinley memo rial parade was brought to Guthrie this morning and placed in the Logan County jail for protection. Soon after the United States MarshaPs office here received the following message:
 washington, Sept. 20.
 Examine Tenack closely. Hold for further instructions-Wilkie Chief of De- tectives"
 Since there is no person confined in the county or federal jail named Tenack 1t Is believed that the person referred to is Bradshaw. " Bradshaw in jail said:
 am an anarchist. Oklahoma City is made up of hoodlums. If this Is a free country a man has right to say what he thinks. This is not a free country: the powers are subsidized No. Czol. goss IS not an anarchist; he is a NihiIIst or insane. He will never be executed: mark my words" That Bradshaw has plenty of nerve was proven when he returned to Oklahoma C1ty at 10 o'clock last night after having been run out by the mob during the day' HIS presence again became known and another mob was gathering when the of ncers took Bradshaw in charge.
