PARKER WILL Be
NOMINEE OF PARTY
OPINION OF ABRAM J. ROSE.
LAWYER PREDICTS HE WILL CAR
RY NEW YORK BY 10000
MAJORITY.

Mr. Rose Declares That Roosevelt
Every Day-CIeveland VIII Not AL
low Use of Name-NeVv York Demo-
Gratis Do Not Take Henrst's Candi-
dacy ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Con-
gresham Charges Roosevelt with
Being Author of Bristow Report
President Roosevelt is becoming
more unpopular in New York every
day, and it is very evident that if the
Democratic party dominates a man
like Grover Cleveland or Judge Parker
that the Empire state will give the
Democratic nominee a majority of over
10000"
This is what Mr.. Abram ]. Rose, the
New York attorney who represented
Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter in his trial
before the court-martial. said last night
when asked for an opinion as to the
presidential situation. He does not
believe that Grover Cleveland's name
will be presented to the National Con-
vention, and believes that Judge Par
ker will be the nominee of the party.
The Hearst boom. Mr.. Rose says, is
not taken seriously in New York, and
he does not believe that Hearst stands
any chance whatever of securing the
nomination. Outside of Tammany. he
says, the sentiment is almost unani-
mously for the nomination of Judge
Parker.
Believes Parker Would BE Elected.
Mr.. Rose declared that it would be
surprising to know how many Repub-
licnns in New York would refuse to
support Mr.. Roosevelt in the coming
contest and. that if the Democrats
nominate a conservative man like
Parkur there is no doubt about the
fact that thousands and thousands of
Republicans win give him their sup
port.
If anything should happen to prevent
the nomination of Judge Parker, Mr..
Rose believes the National Convention
would nominate Mayor George Is.
Mcclellan. He says that Senator
Gormcn's name is never mentioned in
connection with the presidency now
and that he does not believe that Cor
man would have sufficient strength to
carry the state of New York if NOM
mated.
Responsibility for BristOw Report.
Mr.. Rose said that before his de-
parture from New York he talked
with a Republican member of Con-
gress, who heretofore has been great
friend of Roosevelt, and that this
member, said he had positive evil
dence that Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow did not write the
last postoffice report duplicating mem
bers of the Senate and House, but that
the report was written by President
Roosevelt, himself. This, Mr.. Rose de-
cared, is the general opinion among
the members of Congress and will have
the effect of losing many friends for
the President.
The Democracy of New York, Mr..
Rose said, is taking on new life and
the Democrats are beginning to feel
that victory is in the air. On the
other hand he says the Republicans
are divided into factions and one side
is abusing Plat, while the other side
is making things rather uncomfortable
for Gov. Odell. Mr.. Rose predicts that
the party will be divided into a fac
tional fight before election day, which
will cause the defeat of Gov. Odell and
give the electoral vote to the Demo-
cratic nominee.

Charge Against j. III. EdenfleId by
Camden County Grand Jury.

Waycross. Ga, March 14.-Mr
j. H. Edenfield, a former resi-
dent of Waycross, and who is we'll
known in this section, is in Jail at st.
Marys, charged with the murder of
his sister, Mrs. H. o. Causey. An ac-
count of the shooting of Mrs. Causey
at Cabin Bluff, in Camden county,
which, it was claimed at the time,
was entirely accidental, was printed in
the Morning News shortly after it oc-
Cured. Mrs. Causey was carried to
Fernandina for treatment, where she
fingered for several weeks and died.
1t is said that she made a statement
just before her death generating her
brother, as she believed it to be an
accident.
The Camden county grand jury has
found a true bill against Edenfield,
charging him with murder. Attorney
]. Hill Spence of this city, who is an
uncle of the accused man, has made
application to Judge Parker for bail.
The numerous relatives and friends in
this section of Mr.. Edenfield feel con-
fident that the shooting was an acct
dent, and that he had no desire or in
tention of killing his sister.

TWO NEGROES HELD FOR MURDER
Charged with Cutting Another Ne
gro to Death Near BarnesviIIe.

GAINESVILLE, Ga, March AN. S.
Howard, sheriff of the City Court,
placed Cicero Thomas and RUDE Rob-
inson, both negroes, in Jail here last
night, charged with the murder of John
Mccoy, another negro. A difficulty
arose between the negroes Saturday
night at Marshburn's peach farm, as
they were on their way home from
town. Thomas and Robinson claim
that Mccoy was making at them with
a razor when Thomas defended himself
with a knife, cutting deep cash in
McCoys neck, the incision beginning in
the back and extending around to the
front, entirely severing the jugular
vein. Mccoy ran and yesterday was
found dead about 200 yards from where
the fight occurred. The arrests fol-
lowed and commitment hearing will
be held tomorrow.

BATTLESHIPS HAVE
REACHED PENSACOLA.

Pensacola, Fla, March 14.-The bat
tleship squadron, composed of the
Kearsarge, Alabama, Missouri and
Massachusetts, arrived off the port to-
day. They came up the channel and
dropped anchor, remaining for several
hours, waiting for orders from Wash
ington. After they weighed anchor
and cruised about the target ground,
apparently getting range on the tar
gets.
The Maine and Texas are also on
the practice grounds, engaging in pre-
liminary practice.

CRUISER MONTGOMERY
WAS NOT DAMAGED.

Pensacola, Fla, March 14.-The
cruiser Montgomery, which ran into
Monroe's Point last night during a
dense fog, was f1oated tonight, and
an examination revealed the fact that
she was not injured in the least. The
vessel weighed anchor Sunday after
noon to proceed to the navy yard, but
when about half way ran into dense
bank of fog. She left the channel
soon afterward and before the officers
realized their surroundings, she had
grounded on the north bank of the
point near the beach and about a mile
from the channel proper.
The accident is not attributed to the
neglect of any officer, but the fact that
the navigator could not see fifty yards
ahead and left the channel.

I am quoting from myself
The quick reply and its subtle mean
ing were at once appreciated by Judge
Speer and by every one in the court
room.
At one time during Mr.. Toomer's ar
gument for state rights, Judge Speer
interrupted with You are aware of

ter by Justice Bradley, 1 suppose?"
II am, your honor" was the reply,
but the Thirteenth Amendment did
not enter into that case and, though /

Bradley, 1 must say that 1 believe, and
can prove to your satisfaction, that his
opinion was unconstitutional"
Il am glad to see a man so i'm
pressed with his convictions" was the
comment of the court.
Once during the trial the statute de-
filming the penalty for peonage was
read, fixing it at a fine of not less than
$1,000 or more than 5000; or imprison-
ment for not less than one year or
more than five years; or either, OIL
both. When the statute was read Mr.
