John w. Brown, the impressive
Socialist orator, gave a lecture here

A fair sized audience gave Mr..

The female delegates add charm
to the occasion, to say the least.
May a.-Comrade Hilquit of
New York elected chairman. and
Comrade Woodby of Califo rnia
vice chairman. An incident illus
trating our world wi de organization
is shown by the folio wing action.
Delegate Carey: If the conven-
ton will permit me desire to say
that our Comrade Katayama, of
Japan, is here in the hall, and I
move that he be given seat on the,
platform.
Motion seconded and carried.
and Comrade Katayama was greeted
with enthusiasm as he took a place
on the platform.
After one has shook hands and
talked with Gene Debs a few min
utes it is not hard to understand
why he is so popular and why even
his enemies love him.
An argument arose at a dinner
affair as who was the youngest dele
gate on the convention floor. 1t
was settled in this manner: Mich
| olas Klein, of Minnesota, proved
to be a3 years of age; f. b. Auit,
81 years of age, but A. n. Gilbert
son won the prize, proving to be
but 20 years of age.
Judged G. c. McHugh, of Ana
conda, Mont, is the tallest man in
the convention. The Anaconda
Standard, in its issue of April a7,
has this to say of Comrade McHugh:
IF delegate McHugh get the
nomination for vice-president he
will probably get married" +"
This should be a strong inducement
to the woman delegates to favor the
nomination of Comrade McHugh
for vice president
AS chairman, the author of
History of Socialism" is positively
charming in his display of good
nature.

ago, put sugar in her bullion at the

Stockell of Tennessee vice chairman

chair.
Consideration of the report of
the National secretary occupied
most of the session. The remand
er of the time was taken up with

The cablegram from our German
Comrades was the event of the day.
The following cablegram, first
read in German. was then translated
and read in English to the conven-
ton:

George Knight, the white man who
was shot at Meldrim some time ago
by Special Officer Conelly of the Cen
trail Railway force, has been released
from jail Knight attempted to board
a freight train in order to steal a ride,
and he was shot by the officer, who
was hanging on to the side of the car
on the lookout for tramps.
The bullet passed through the calf of
Knights leg. The wound was very
painful, though not dangerous. He was
brought to Savannah and carried to
the Savannah Hospital. When he had
been there only a few days the rail-
road authorities swore out a warrant
against him before Justice Naughtin,
charging him with stealing a ride. AS
soon as he had sufficiently recovered
from his wound he was transferred
from the hospital to the Jail. Last
week a friend of knight, who lives IN
Athens, came to Savannah and ap-
pealed to the railroad authorities in
bis behalf. 1t was finally agreed to
drop the prosecution against him, and
he has been given his liberty.
knight is said to be a reputable and
working man, a painter by trade.
He came to Savannah on a frolic, spent
all of his money and was trying to
get back home, when he was shot.

SAVANNAH BOOKLETS
IN DEMAND AT ST. LOUIS.

A letter from Mr.. r. NJ. Martin. who
is in charge of the Georgia exhibit at
the st. Louis Exposition, announces
that the Savannah booklets which were
compiled by Mr.. Thomas Gamble, Jr.,
under direction of Mayor Myers, are
attracting a great deal of Attentions.
The books are in great demand, he
writes, and he believes they will do
the city a great deal of good. He says
1t is great pity that the books We're
not gotten out sooner, so that they
could have been distributed all through

from them, anyway. Mr.. Martin says
Georgia will probably have number
OF Industries attracted TO the state by
reason OF the advertising that has been
done at the exposition and he believes
that Savannah will get her share of
the new enterprises.
