COMMITTEE IS NAMED
WILL SUGGEST PLAN OF MAX
 ING NOMINATIONS.
A Report to Be Made to the Full Body Which Will Pass Finally Upon the
 Matter.

Birmingham, Nov. 14.-(SpeciaL )-Chair- man Robert J. Lowe of the State Dem- ccratic Executive Committee, today an- nounced the subcommittee on plan, to suggest the manner of naming the nomi- nees of the Democratic party in the elec- tion next year. This committee was au- thorized at the recent meeting of the State committee held in Birmingham, and the committee will report the plan back to the committee at a meeting to be held between the 1st and 18th of January in Birmingham.
 The following were named: H. s. D. Mallory, of Selma; John F. Proctor, of Scottsboro; w. c. Coker, of Greenville; W. I. Bullock, of Russellville; H. H. Thach, of Birmingham.
 An erroneous idea has gotten out so it is stated, in that the plan suggested by the subcommittee will be the plan to be carried out. Chairman Lowe today au- thofized the statement that the sub-com- mittee will only suggest a plan and the State executive committee will adopt a plan.
 Chairman Lowe stated this morning that he did not care to give out an inter- view He of the opinion that the people desire primary though a convention for the selection of the delegates to the na- tional Democratic convention would not be complained of. It is observed that a majority of the subcommittee named are men in favor of the primary plan, though the convention plan has some supporters It is not improbable that a majority and minority report will be submitted to the State committee, the first suggesting pri- maries, with probably the Supreme Court judges and the delegates to the national convention omitted, and the minority re- port in favor of a convention The sub committee will meet in Birmingham Mo- vember 24 The exact date of the meeting of the State executive committee. will be announced later
 It is stated by leading Democrats here that from all indications, the people of Alabama want primaries for the naming of the candidates for the Democratic par ty. Though there are some supporters of the convention plan. it is not believed that a general convention plan is going to be adopted by the State committee, though much depends on the suggestion offered by the subcommittee. The mem- bers of the subcommittee are all we'll known throughout the State. Two of them have publicly expressed an opinion in favor of the primary method of making nominations, while another is on semi record to the effect that he favors nomi- nations through primaries except those of the Supreme Court.

The testimony was in the line of that adduced at the trial of Glen Havis who was convicted and sentenced to F 1-2 years and whose appeal is now pending in the Supreme Court. All witnesses suEss moned in the Criminal Court for next week have been excused. there being no probability of any other case being called during the week. The Attorneys for Wise are closely cross-examining each of the States witnesses. Jim Vaesar, a boot-black, who was an eye witness to the difficulty leading up to the shooting and to the shooting, was on the stand for a couple of hours to-day Many la- dies. members of the families of Wise and of the deceased.

A special from Washington says that Congressman Oscar w.

Information that leads him to believe
he is in a fair way to establish title
for himself and relatives to tract of
80 acres of land in the heart of Phil

The story goes that the land is

fact that many years ago his family
married into a family named Peggs.
1t was about that time that the Peggs
secured a lease on a large tract of
land. included in which were the so
acres referred to. The lease was for
90 years, and it has never been sur
rendered. 1t has passed into other
hands, however, it is said, by fraud,

WEYERHAUEsER SAID TO
HAVE SUNK WITH CARGO

The following contained in a press
dispatch dated at Charlottesville, Mo-,
is of interest here, for the steamer
Weyerhaeuser belongs to the Weyer-
haeuser d Denkmann company, of
this city. She formerly was engaged
in the rafting business, but is now
doing Il general towing business on
the lower Mississippi and the Ohio
rivers:
The towboat Weyerhaeuser, of st.
Louis port, bound to Vicksburg, with
a 3,400-ton cargo, sunk near Island
81, which lies at the line, is miles
from here. The cargo was consigned
to the Quackenbush Commission com
pany. The cargo of feed and mer-
chandise was valued at 100000; total
loss. George w. Reed, the command
er, succeeded in grounding the barges
after Il desperate two days strug
GLE
a letter received by Weyerhaeuser
q Denkmann today gave an account
of the accident, stating that the boat
is safe. One of the barges in the tow
had been sunk, but the loss was not
nearly as large as that indicated in
the dispatch.
The steamer j. S. was taken to Kahl-
ke's boat yard today, where it will be
overhauled previous to being put into
commission.
Owing 10 the high wind prevailing
yesterday afternoon the w. j. Young,
Jr., did not leave for Burlington on
the down trip until o'clock last ev-
ening. The water was so rough for
a time during the afternoon that
some of the passengers on the ferry
were made seasick, one lady in partic
ular having as bad an attack of NAL
de mere" as could be imagined.
The Winona left as usual at 1915,
but the Rock Island landing was only
made after considerable maneuvering
as the wind was just from the right
right direction to swing the boat to-
wards the piling and the j. S.
1t is understood that Capt. John
Streckfus has practically decided to
abandon the plan of putting in anoth-
er boat to run opposite the Winona
in the Clinton trade. The evident in
tention of the l. & l. company to
build the proposed interurban road
from Davenport to Clinton, which
would greatly interfere with the river
passenger business, has probably had
weight with the captain in arriving
at his decision.
The WinOna was in and out and the
ZaIus Davis and Saturn went north.
The temperature at noon was 65.
The stage of water was 900 at a. M.
and 9.S5 at noon.
