Unusual Interest Centered in
 Forthcoming Meeting.
Question of Whether Candidates Will Be Nominated by Convention or by a Primary Will
 Be Settled.

The State Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of Alabama meets in this city tomorrow, Thursday. July 10th. Hon. Robert J. Lowe of Jefferson Is the chairman and John c. Pugh secretary.
 There is a great deal more importance attached to the meeting this year than in many years before. and much interest is being manifested in the event for the reason mainly that the committee Is called upon to decide the question of how the nominations of candidates for State offices shall be made.
 The custom of the party in this State since. its reorganization after the war has been to make the nomination of can didates in convention. Only very recent ly has the question of State primary been agitated and it has grown so wide- spread and press and people seem to be so largely for it that there seems little doubt that the committee will adopt the primary mode of making nominations.
 It is we'll known that there Is wide difference of opinion as to the rule to be adopted in prescribing the qualification of voters in the primary. It has been the rule of the party. until 1896, to allow only those persons to participate in the primaries of the party In the Various counties for the selection of delegates to the State Convention who voted the Democratic State ticket in the last State election preceding.
 In 1896 the bars were put down and all white persons in the State were all lowed to vote in the aforesaid county primaries who would pledge themselves to abide the action of the party and who would accept it's principles The bars were kept down in the State elec- tions of 1898 and in 1900, but in 1901 ir the election of members of the Constitu' tional Convention the bars were put UT good and strong and only those persons allowed to vote in the naming of candi- dates for delegates who voted for Sam fcrd and the State ticket in 1900. The bars are now up and the question is vii the State Committee leave them as they are or put them down and allow all white persons to vote in a general State pri n ary who will make the piedgt

 Subsequently Mir. Cochran was recall ed and swore that these statements were prepared for him by Mir. Kohn after the failure of the banking house. lie took one of them before the grand jury and told the grand jury It was "a paper transaction" He signed this statement in the presence of the grand jury. lie had no recollection of what became of the other statement which did not bear his signature Mfr. Allen swore that he could not recall whether the unsigned statement was delivered to the Board of Revenue by Cochran or by Kohn. Judge Jones declined to permit the statement to go into the record against the Fidelity and Deposit Company, but admitted them against MT. Cochran. This was the first and only time distinction was made between the defendants. When the court reconvened Mir. Stall- ings for the county recalled c. A. Allen, Clerk of the Board of Revenue and ex- amined him as to the delivery to him of the statement prepared by MT. Kohn of the condition of the County Treasurer. This statement Is a duplicate of the state ment submitted to the grand jury by Mir. Cochran.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
 ASSEMBLIES TOMORROW

to support ,he nominees of the
 party and accept the principles
 of the party.
 Some of the members of the commit
 tee have announced themselves openly
 as in favor of a straight white primary;
 others favor the retention of the present
 rule and Democratic primary; that is.
 allowing only those persons to vote In
 State primary who voted for the last
 State ticket. Others have announced
 that they favor the old-time convention
 plan and do not think that the State
 Committee has the power to change the
 mode of making nominations from
 convention to primary election. the
 rarty in convention having prescribed
 the convention plan and the committee
 being only clothed with the power to put
 the party machinery in motion to con-
 vene a State convention. Then there are
 others who have as yet expressed no opinion upon the matter and upon their decision will depend the action of the committee in the premises, for they hold the balance of power. NnIt is very probable that there will be . full attendance of the committee for with so important and vital question at is- sre, requiring their attention and de- inanding the wisdom and best Judgment of the party leaders. 1t is not believed that any members of the committee will fail to be- present except for causes which they cannot control. There are 35 members of the Commit tee, twenty-seven from the nine Congress sional Districts and eight from the State at Large
 The committee will meet in the Council Chamber. which is provided with electric fans and which is the most pleasant place in the city available for the pur- pose.
 The committee will not meet before noon. as all the trains will not be in be- fore that hour and 1t Is probable that the meeting will be continued for at least two days, as 1t will take that long to sufficiently discuss and interchange views on the subject
 There was a rumor in circulation yes- terday that the Johnston contingent were coming down and beseige the committee
 ard if they did not get what they wanted would make trouble. The rumor was | traced to remark to that effect made able that the ex-Governor and many of l his followers will be here watching the deliberations of the committee. Hon. A. M Tunstali of Hale and Hon. l J. Tom Hefiin of Chambers were the only members of the committee to reach the i city last night. They are stopping at the Exchange Hotel

PNEUMONIA.

bOSlS y lho AVab E2laA 0Aooooos
Attention has been directed so
often to consumption as the most ia
tai enemy of mankind that its close
rival for the grewsome honor, pneu-
monia, has almost ESCAPED general no
tice. And yet almost, if not quite, as
many deaths in the United States are
caused by pneumonia as by tubereu-
losis, and the disease which is the
swifter in its deadly work is making
the rapider growth. The United
States census shows that, while con-
sumption increased only from 1922
1879 deaths in 1890 to 111,059 in 1900,
pneumonia increased duringthe same
period from 76,496 to 105,974. This
rate Of increase, if sustained, would
make the deaths from pneumonia
this year just about equal those from
tuberculosis. Supplementary evil
denee is furnished from Michigan by
DIR. c. L. Wilbur, chief of the division
Of vital statistics. Only one death in
10 was caused by tuberculosis in
Michigan in 1901, a much smaller
mortality than is usually attributed
10 that disease. and instead Of occupy
ing the place of the most fatal dis
ease consumption has for two years
been second TO pneumonia, the deaths
from these two causes in 1901 being
s,421 and 1898 respectively

They were men in the prime Of
life, with many business cares and

nothing pleased them more than to
gather around the table in a room Of
