DIE IN CHURCH PANIC
GREAT DISASTER AT 6IRMING
HAM, ALABAMA
Woman's Scream and Cry of Fire Siam
pede Convention of Negro Baptists
with Horrible consequences-Kno

In wild panic caused by helief the
from distant points, were killed by a
stampede in the Shiloh Negro Baptist
Church in Birmingham, Ala. at the dose
of an address made by Booker I. Wash
ington TO the national convention of Bap-
fists, which was therein session. Nearly
100 persons were injured, and it was
three hours before all the wounded could
be attended 10 and the dead taken TO I'M
dertaking establishments.
The ambulance service of the city was
utterly incapable of moving the injured
without great delays, which in many
cases proved fatal. Dozens of dead
bodies were arranged in rows on the
ground outside the church, while more
than a score were laid out on the benches
inside.
The church is the largest house of wor-
ship for negroes in the city. and there
were over 1900 persons in the edifee
when the stampede began. Instructions
had been issued TO allow no more to enter,
but the negroes forced their way inside
the building and were standing in every
aisle; even the entrance to the church
was literally packed.
Mistake Flight" for "Fire."
Just as Booker i. Washington conclud-
ed his address Judge Ballou, negro law
yer from Baltimore, engaged in an alter
cation with another delegate, and it is
said blow was struck. Someone in the
choir cried Fight! Fighty'
Mistaking the word fight" for ''fre,"
the congregation rose in a body and start
ed for the door. One of the ministers
quickly mounted the rostrum and admon-
ished the people to keep quiet.
He repeated the word quiet" several
times and motioned TO his hearers to be
seated, but the excited congregation mis-
took the word quiet" for fire." and with
redoubled exertions renewed the struggle
to reach the door. Men and women
crawled over benches and fought their
way into the aisles, and those who had
fallen were trampled upon like cattle. The
ministers tried again and again to stop
the stampede, but no power on earth
could stay the struggling, fighting mass of
humanity. The screams of women and
children added to the horror of the scene,
and through mere fright many persons
tainted and as they fell to the floor were
crushed to death.

SEVENTH WARD CAMPAIGN
Democrates in Full Harmony
Will Ratify the Congressionl
Nominations.

The campaign in the Seventh Ward
will begin in earnest Monday night when
a meeting will be held in the rooms of the
Seventh Ward Club to ratify the nom
ination of Allan Benny, the nominee for
CONGRESS- from the Ninth District.
These speakers will address the gath
ering Allan Benny, w. G. Cabell, Ar
thur Gray, and j. +. Finn, Jr.
General satisfaction is felt in the ward
over the slate decided upon Wednesday
night by the Executive Committee of the
Seventh Ward Democratic Club. Alder
man Peter Erhart was selected for the
Freeholder nomination, Joseph G. Duff
for the Assembly, Edward Carlock for
Alderman, Timothy Aarons and Miles
McCarron for Justices of the Peace, and
Eugene Soma for constable. This is
considered a strong ticket and will
doubtless be winner. There was no
friction when the selections were made.
Duff and Erhart were out for the
Freeholder nomination, but the with
drawal of Assemblyman DENIM from
the field made it possible to place both
men without difficulty. Duff offered to
take the Assembly nomination and give
Erhart that of FreeHolder.

PLATFORM TROUBLES

AS ssThe Jersey City News" goes to
gressional district are gathering at Odd
Fellows Hall, Hoboken, to hold their
nominating convention There was much
excitement among the delegates and
spectators over the rumor that the Con-
vention would endorse James d. Man
ming for the Congressional nomination.
Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson, Edward
Woolley, Edward Frey, chairman of the
County Committee, were on hand early
preparing the preliminary details OF the
meeting. 81
There was considerable talk about the
platform which would be adopted. 1t
was said that Colonel Dickinson and
some of the leaders had been together
all the morning getting out document
which would cover the Endorsement of a
Democrat and say something which
would throw dust in the peoples eyes,
so that they could not see the RESPONSE
bility of the Republican party for the
Beef Trust, the Coal Combine and the
other tariff fostered monopolies which
are responsible for the many ills under
which the people are now undergoing.
So busy were the leaders wrestling
with the problem that they had no time
to agree upon the permanent officers or
members of the various committees.
Shortly after two o'clock Chairman Frey
of the State Committee called the CON
yention to order. Considerable time was
taken up in calling the roll and getting
the delegates seated. Temporary officers
were then chosen and the various com
mittees appointed. A recess was taken
to enable the Committee on Organiza ton
and Platform to report. William III.
Speer was chosen to place James D.
Manning's name before the convention.
