GULF CITY POLITICS
CONTEST FOR DELEGATES TO
 STATE CONVENTION.
Ticket Purportsd to Come from Coun. ty Committee Denied by Chairman--A Eass Meet
 ing to Be Held.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau. Mobile, March %. For some time Mobile Democrats were in the throes of fierce three-cOrnered ecrimmage over the presidency of the Alabama Railroad Commission. With Robert J. Lowe out of the running the signs of the times are that John ". Smith will get a handsome majority In this county. While the scrimmage Is not 50 severe at present. the Smith conn mittee Is continuing the warfare all along the line.
 Another scrimmage is now on. how ever. and one which promises to be more interesang than the one referred to above. The delegation to the State con- vention now overshadows any of the State arguments and even the local coun- ty ofices. On Thursdax night a slate was formed containing the names of sev- enteen well known men. all of whom are prominent figures in the political arena Of the seventeen only one is from be- yond the pales of the city. Colonel liar ry p. Jones. Of the entire list thirteen are offfceholders, and eight are from one ward-the Eighth. This Slate. 1t Is al- legged, was formed by three or four men who claim to be leadefs.
 When this list appeared in print Friday morning a local paper had 1t to appear as the list selected by the county execu- tive committee. Chairman George J. Sul- livan of the committee. very promptly went into print with denial of the state- ment in the shape of a card wherein he said the committee had nothing what ever to do with naming the delegates oth- CT than to declare the results of the &C., ton of the Democratic voters at the polls on April 11rn. A number of members of the executive committee. together with some strong party leaders, when they had seen the list. and learned of it's ori- gin, declared their purpose to have mass meeting of Democrats from all over the county, at which a delegation of seven- teen would be named to make the race. This meeting fs expected to be held Tues day or Wednesday night, and 1t Is ex- pected there viii De an equally strong ticket as the one already announced will be launched, |

Would See Diamond With X-Rays.

BILLINGS, Mont, May 25-The
unique spectacle of a prosecution be-
ing based upon the results obtained by
an X-ray examination of the stomach
of a man suspected of robbery. and
who swallowed a 5000 diamond, part
of the plunder, is being witnessed in
this city in the case of Edward Buck
ley, who was placed under arrest at
Miles City several days ago. Buckley
was captured by the officers while in
the act of trying to dispose of dia-
mond, which he said weighed one and
one-haIf carats at very cheap figure,
and while the police were attempting
to pinion the mans hands behind him
he swallowed the gem.
The physicians have administered
emetics to Buckley, but thus far the
sparkler has refused to come up
Though Buckley has had several at
tacks of nausea, he laughs at the ef-
forts of the doctors to make him vom-
it. and last night he lazily stretched
himself upon the operating table when
so ordered.
Buckley is charged with cracking
the safes of the Billings Brewery and
Laundry companies last week ,obtalh-
ing about $4,000 in cash and diamonds.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 25.-Many
and divers are the exceptions which
the attorneys for the defense in the
case of the United States VS.. T. A.

of the case has been filed at noon. but
the hearing of the motion for the new

then the verdict of the last jury will

The old question of overt acts consti-
tuting a conspiracy is revived again
| in the motion for the new trial. The
defense takes exception to the ruling of
Judge Bellinger that the jury could find
a verdict of guilty if the members
deemed the overt acts constituted a
| conspiracy. The defense claims that
| it is necessary to prove conspiracy
| before conviction can be secured To
use the words of the motion
The defense takes exception to al
| lowing the government to give testi-
mOny or overt acts set out in the in
dictment without first requiring the
government to prove the existence of
| a conspiracy or promise to do so after
| submitting the proof of the overt acts

LYONS MANIA FOR MARRYING
A Confessed Bigamist Sentenced At
Sioux Falls.

SIOUN FALLS, S. D., May 25.-
judge Jones has sentenced Rev
Charles y. Lyons, a self-confessed
bigamist, to four years at hard labor in
the penitentiary.
1t was arranged in behalf of the pris-
oner that the marriage mania was the
only crime that could be charged
against him. His attorney also ex-
pressed the opinion that Lyons would
not live for three years longer, as
there was every indication that he had
a bloodclot on the brain.
Lyons was captured in st. Paul the
latter part of April after having been
fugitive since last December. He
made his first appearance in Sioux
Falls year ago. He professed to be
preacher, and as he presented Gre
dentials which appeared genuine he
was soon in good standing.
He made his home for a time with
Rev. E. \. Orr, pastor of the Christian
church. Last summer he became ac-
quainted with Miss Emma Purvis.
