DAVIS CANES
 JUDGE WOOD.
Candidates For Governor Come to Blows at Hope Saturday Bourland Interferes By
 Holding Wood.

1IOPCs DONs IO. Dul Ill OilC discussion here today between the candidates for governor a personal encounter occurred be- tween two of the candidates, Judge Carroll D. Wood and Gov. Jeff Davis. The governor struck Judge Wood with a gold-headed cane, and as Judge Wood at tempted to retaliate he was seized by Judge J. V. Bourland of Ozark and his arms pinioned so he could not reach the govern or. As soon as Judge Wood could free himself from Judge Bourland's grasp he struck the governor on the arm. By this time officers and friends inter- fered and prevented further trouble.
 Judge Wood had been struck on the head and cheek with the governors cane, causing the blood to flow freely for while. The wound was immediately dressed by a physician, and Judge Wood suffered no further inconvenience, being able to ad- dress the audience when his turn came.
 CALLED JUDGE WOOD A TRAITOR
 Governor Davis, at the close of his speech, had made the as- sertion that Judge Wood, one of his opponents, went to New York to get information relative to the connection of ex-Senator Jas. K. Jones with the round-bale cotton corporation, and that this information was used as ammu- hilton against Senator Jones when the latter and Hon. Jas. P. Clarke were candidates f or UniteG.States senator before the primaries in March, 1902. Gov. Davis said he himself had fought Senator Jones in the open, while .Judge Wood had "knifed him (Jones) and was a traitor. .
 Judge Wood, upon that asser- tion, interrupted the governor and told him he must retract the statement or he would be held personally responsible hereafter.
 Why not now?" said the gov ernor.
 The two men were near each other, and as the governor made the remark he struck Judge Wood with large gold-headed cane he carries. %
 JUDGE BOURLAND HELD WOOD.
 Judge Wood attempted to strike the governor in return, but Judge Bourland, who is a close friend and supporter of Governor Davis, caught hold of him and by his strength pre- vented the judge from getting to the governor. In the ensuing excitement Judge Wood disen- gagged himself from restraint and administered blow to the gov ernor on the arm. Cool heads were present, and efforts were concentrated on preventing a continuance of the trouble. Local officers and personal friends of the two candidates rushed in and kept the principals from coming together again. After Judge Woods slight injury had been dressed he was ready to deliver a speech.
 TWO BELLIGERENTs ARRESTED.
 Both Governor Davis and Judge Wood were arrested and placed under bond to appear on January IS before the mayor for trial.
 HISTORY OF DAVIS CANE.
 Governor Davis gold-headed cane, which figured in the incl dent, has history. It is quite a formidable article, being of un- usual large size, with a massive gold head. The cane was pre- sented to the present owner in

"FOLLOWING ALL CLUES"
Lamothe at Large-One Victim May
Die, One May Recover.

Lowell, Mass, June 29.-Joseph
Lamothe the assailant of Miss Georgi-
anna Goddu, is still at large, although
Supt. Moffatt is sanguine that he will
be located before long. The police have
been working up the story of his life
and find that he has lived good share
of his early life here. He went to two
colleges in Canada, graduating from
one of them in 1899. He returned to
Lowell and in 1902 he went to Boston,
where he was employed in the Eye and
Ear hospital, as a porter. Since that
time he has dropped out of sight. 1t is
believed that he has very recently been
employed by the New York, New
Haven &; Hartford Railroad, under an
assumed name.
Relative to the work of the police in
the matter of ferreting out Lamothe,
the superintendent would say nothing
whatever. 1t is understood, however
that every effort is being made to find
him, although it is generally thought
that he is not within the limits of
Lowell.
The condition of Miss Goddu at ST.
Johns Hospital, Monday, is extremely
serious, and it is believed to be only a
question of time when she will die. DR..
Payette's injuries are not so serious.
Unless complications arise, he will re-

WELFARE OF THE JEWS
Alleged by London's Mayor to Be Dear
to Englishmen.

London, June 29.--Lord Mayor Sam
uel in a speech. Sunday, at the prize
distribution of the religious classes at
one Of London's synagogues, said it was
quite useless to bring agitation to bear
in the hope of influencing Russia in
regard to the treatment of the Jews.
Their brethren in Australia animated
by the most generous feelings, had
Gent money and had passed resolutions
which it became his duty to submit to
the foreign office. In following their
wishes he was not aware of the result
He was surprised when assured that
this was an internal matter and that
the foreign office could do nothing.
The Jews of this country, the lord
mayor continued, desired for then
brethren in Russia religious equality
and he believed he was right in saying
the Gear was most anxious that the
boon should be extended to his Hebrew
subjects. But there We're other diff
culties to overcome. The case was diff
ferent from that of Roumania, where
treaty rights were violated. Russia
was under no treaty obligations and
was free to manage her internal affairs
as she thought best. 1t was only by
appealing to the better side of the
Russian nation-and there was very
large better side-that they could hope
to awaken that sense of right, which
he was convinced, no amount of agita-
ton could bling about.
The lord mayor concluded with ask
ing the Jewish community to believe
he had their interests at heart.
