PARKER FOR PRESIDENT.
Formal Announcement Is TO Be Made
Next Saturday Night.
DINNER TO BE GIVEN IN HIS HONOR
BY the Colonial Club OF New York WIN
Be Mads the Occasion for the
Opening OF the Campaign.
INNER TO BE GIVEN IN HIS HONOR
lsneoinl 70 The Post \

New York, February THE boom Of
Judge Alton II. Parker for the democratic
nomination for president will be launched
next saturday night whom the Colonial club
will give a dinner in his honor IN the clubs
home at Seyenty-second street and Broad
way. Invitations IRE now being dispatched
TO various dIgnitarcs whose presence will
give the desired tone 10 the occasion.
Members Of the club explicitly deny that
the dinner viii have any political COM
plozon or significance. Nevertheless. It is
well understood that after this banquet
Judge Parker will be recognized far aud
wide as a candidate for the presidency. The
first plan of the managers OF the Parker
campaign was to set it going at the T1ldcu
club dinner next Monday night Judge
Parker was invited to attend this dinner
but he declined on the plea that there
would be a certain improperly In the chief
judge of tho court OF appeals of the state
OF New York attending political dinner,
Accordingly this method was abandoned.
In this connection, It is interesting to
note that William j. Bryan thinks highly
or Judge Parker as a presidential posi-
bllity. One OF Mr.. Bryun's most intimate
personal and political friends talked freely
70 a reporter today in regard to the prcsi.
dental campaign Of 1904, and Mr.. Bryan's
probable part therein.
The nomination Of Judge Parker seems
highly probable to Eastern Observers" said
he "and Mr. Bryan has for some time
been faIniuarizing himself with the record
OF the New Yorker and studying his merits
Us a democrat rs well as yote-getter, his
conclusion is that Judge Parker would be a
strong candidate perhaps the strongest that
could he selected.
IF the Eastern States unite In his favor
and give assurances that they can poll some
electoral votes for him, the Eastern demo
Gratis Will not oppose his nomination So
much may be considered settled, but upon
one condition, aud that Is very important
one Mr. Bryan and his friends viii not
consent to support Judge Parker II an
effort Is made 70 nominate him on the re
publican platform.
That is a matter for Judge Parker TO
decide himself He will have TO stand on
democratic platform II he wants demo
cratic votes. Mr., Bryan's only ambition
at present is to help nominate a democrat
who can be elected. But II must be q real
democrat, and Judge ParkerB platform win
be the decisive factor. both in securing
his nomination and In holding the demo
cratic voters that viii be needed TO elect
him"

HOT CONTEST AHEAD
Will the Seven CoIored State
Normal Schools be
Consolidated.

There is apt to be lively, perhaps a
hot contest before the State Board OF
Education on Tuesday.
The board will at that time take up the
question of the colored State Normal
Schools and talk of consolidation.
There are seven Of these IN North Caro-
lima and there has been much talk that the
forces were too greatly scattered, and that
these schools should be reduced IN mum
Der.
The proposition is understood to be to
make the number four in place OF seven
as they now stand. The idea of cOnsolida-
ton was spoken of in the report OF the
state Board of Inspection in its first and
only report to the Governor.
Each normal wants to he the one that
is left and on this basis the contest will
be fought. Each insist that its location
is most suitable if there is consolidation
mad each will insist that it should remain.
The matte rwill be fully considered and
it is expected that there will be present
on Tuesday delegates from each of the
towns where the colored normals are now
in operation.

Hotel Employees Strike a Fizzle,
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, June 13.-The second day in
the strike of the hotel and restaurant
employees in twenty-six of the hotels of
Chicago brought assertions from the
ranks of the unions and increased deter
mination in the minds of the hotel own
ers to ignore what they term the arbitra-
Tiness of striking employees.
Vigorous efforts of strike pickets to in
terfere with the delivery of coal, meats
and grocery supplies created some ex-
element around many of the hotels but
every such effort was baked by business
agents of the various unions involved in
the attacks and even the milk wagon
drivers, who had declared in favor of the
strike, were forced by officials of the Ma
tional Transfers Union to obey the gen.
eral laws of the organization and to re-
frain from sympathetic strike. Attempts
of the strike leaders to enlist the team
sters, engineers and firemen failed
Three hundred men arrived here during
the day from outside cities, sent here by
agents of the hotel men. who were sent
out several days ago. These men were
taken from the trains to various hotels in
buses, to lull the suspicious of the pickets.
Every hote owner has arranged with
correspondent hotels in their cities for all
the help that can be spared. These men
will come here with the understanding
from local proprietors that they may re
main if they wish, and assured by old en-
ployers that their old positions will be
given them when they return
Bartenders who went out yesterday, in
many instances, returned today and tore
up their union cards.

THE TRIAL OF Js1r AND WITH.
Continuance Until Monday on Account Of
Witnesses Being Absent
CRv the Associated Press.l


Jackson, KY, June 13.-The prosecution
in the case of Curtiss Jett and Thomas
White, charged with killing Attorney j.
NJ. Marcum, rested early today and the
defense secured continuance until Mon
day, on account of the absence OF wit
nesses. As the State occupied only a lit
tie more than two days in its testimony,
it is thought that the case will go to the
jury next Wednesday. The prosecution
was compelled to cose without the attend
ance of material witnesses to prove con-
spiracy. 1t is conceded that these wit
nesses, in some cases, have fled and in
other cases are in hiding 1t is claimed
that they are afraid to testify and there
is a general impression that jurors are
also apprehensive for the future.
Many reasons are advanced for the cur
rent opinion that there is not likely to be
a conviction in the case. The defense
asked for peremptory instructions dis
missing the case and Thomas Marcum,
brother of the dead man, argued at length
against the motion, and Judge Redwine
overruled it. The court, however, granted
the motion for argument until Monday,
so that the defense could bring in its wit
nesses. Curtis Jet, who was confident
all week, was more confident than ever
that he would be acquitted while Thomas
White continues respondent. The friends
of the prisoners are evidently hopeful of
acquittal.
Commonwealth Attorney Byrd stated at
the resumption of the trial of Jett and
White today that the detail sent out last
night to arrest and bring into court Henry
Freeman, a badly wanted witness, had re-
turned without the man. Lieut.. Cannard
and Deputy Whitaker, sent by the Com
monwealth, say that Goodloe Combs went
along on the orders of Judge Redwine and
to the surprise of the soldiers, when with
in a hundred yards of Freeman's house
he ran and fired -wo shots He claimed
that he saw something in the road When
the soldiers arrived at Freeman's house
he was not there. Evidences that Free
man had run away when he heard the
sots were that some garments had been
left behind and his imprint in the bed was
fresh. His wife admitted that he had been
there, and she was held, but Judge Red
wine refused to have her as a witness.
The anti Hargis peop'e say that Freeman
is an important witness and they feel that
he has been hired to remain away from
court. Mr.. Byrd says he would have to
close the case without Freeman and sub
mitted the case of .-e Commonwealth.
Attorney O'Neil for the defense moved
for peremptory INSTRUCT lions dismissing
the defendants. Judge Redwine excused
the jury to hear the arguments on the
motion.
