HEARST MEN TO
SWING To FOLK2
Speculation as to Action
in Convention
WELL WORTH EFFORT
Those Who Say Hearst Will Fail Add
That He is Gaining a Prestige That
Will Mean Much for Him in
His Future Cam
paign.
(By FRED L. MERRITT.)

Washington, d. c., May 1.-THE
successive defeats of Mr.. Hearst's eff
forts to control State delegations, as
exemplified in the most recent in
stance in Indiana, and the occasion Il
boiling of convention by his friends,
as in the District of Columbia on FIJI
day, together with the avowed declara-
tion of his lieutenants to carry the
contest to the floor of the convention,
is causing considerable speculation as
to the probable action of Mr.. Hearst
when the convention rejects many of
his contesting delegations, as now ap-
pears almost certain it will have to
do. Some predict a refusal on Mr..
Hearst's part to support the nominee
if not an open bolt of the convention.
The logic of the situation, however,
argues against any such action. Mr..
Hearst having cast his lot with lie
Democratic party, such political fu-
ture as he may have must be in that
party. Though he will miss the noni-
nation this time, the following That
he will have in the convention Will
give him prestige in the party in fu-
ture well worth the effort that he
has made, but which disloyalty 20 .:ne
ticket nominated would wholly de-
stroy.
The course more likely 20 l,e pu: :
sued by him is that outlined in a re
port that comes from Texas. 1t is to
the effect that when the Hearst follow
ers have made the best showing posi-
BILE for their candidate in the conven-
tion and realize, as they probably
do already, that he has no chance of
obtaining the nomination, they will
throw their support to the Hon. Jo-
seph w. Folk, of Missouri.
There are some things which would
seem to give color to this runor TO
begin with, it is quite apparent that
no candidate will have a two thirds in
structed majority on the first, or in
deed any early, ballot. Judge Parker
will undoubtedly have the largest
number of votes. but there are so
the complimentary votes of their
States that a nomination cannot te
made on first ballot. Next to the
nomination of Hearst, which is gener-
ally conceded to be impossible, the
Hearst people probably most desire the
defeat of Judge Parker, since he has
been the most formidable candidate
against the New York editor. Hence
it is not at all out of the range of
possibility that they will attempt to
run in a dark horse. In such event
they could hardly select one more like
ly TO appeal to the Imagination Of a
convention, and therefore stampede it,
than Mr.. Folk, against whom no DEM
Ocrat could lodge any objection other
than that he has had no experience in
national politics. He is young and 3g-
gressive, was regular in 1896 anG in
1900, is not allied with either faction
of the Democracy and could probably
harmonic both elements satisfa tor
lily. He is a graft fighter, AMI anti
graft will be made by the Dciaot ats
one of their leading issues in the cam
paign. for the Postoffce scandals VIII
surely be much talked OF during tie
canvass.

TeIror TO EriI-Dners.

An incident occurred in Judge
Pritchard's court yesterday which we'll
illustrates the qualities which have,
during his short service on the bench
here. made him a terror to eviI-docrs
and by the same token has endeared
him to the law-abiding element of the
community.
A negro woman recently convicted
of house breaking. was taken before
the court to hear it's disposition Of u
motion for new trial. After grant
ing the notion Judge Pritchard re-
marked that it had been called TO mis-
attention that the woman had been
badly treated in jail. He asked the
cause of her swollen face and black
eye The woman very frankly told the
court that she had resisted an attempt
of the matron to put two other wo-
men into her small cell, and there
upon two Jail officers had been called
in who threw her down, choked her,
hit her repeatedly in the face and
eyes with their fists and finally hand
cuffed her to post in the jail kitchen

The ProbabIe-ReSuIt.

Under these circumstances, sh9Ild
Hearst decide to throw the something
like 200 votes that he viii probably
have to Folk there would be formed
a nucleus around which it would be
possible to collect a most formiGa lie
following for the Missouri Doodle and
graft fighter. 1t must be remem bel cd
also that Missouri is a large AMI intitt-
ential State, and the convention IS
to be held in st. Louis, the home civ
of Mr. Folk. Hence the mere men
tion of his name in the convention
with 200 votes to his credit, - Iegn
with, would undoubtedly create great
enthusiasm, and enthusiasm will have
a great effect no doubt upon the l.,
600 Democrats who compose that
body.
There may be nothing in the re-
port. Mr.. Hearst may not even favor
the nomination of Mr.. Folk under any
circumstances, but if he does and
throws his strength to him, there's
trouble in store for the other candi-
dates.

ECZEMA KEPT SPREADING.

Six years ago my wife had q brsaking-out below
her knees. At 6rst red bumps appeared, but soon
white, husky scabs came, and when these would
shed OF the placs became red again. and would
itch and burn SO that she found it impossible to
sleep. At times \ yellow water ran from the
bumps, and it kept getting worse and worse. Our
family physician pronounced IL Eczema, and pre-
scribed ointments and powders; but it kept
spreading, breaking out on her body and arms,
and almost closed up her ears. The druggist at

FATAL STREET DUEL.

ROut and Tow Families.

Rryantsville, Ind, June 14--Three
men are dead and two wounded. one
fatally. as the result of a pistol fight
on the streets of this village today
The dead are: James and Charles
Rout, and Milton Tow.
James Tow is fatally wounded and
Frank Tow is badly nurt. The light
was the elimination Of a feud between
the Rout and Tow families. The Routs
live at Bedford. eight miles from Bry-
antsvilie, and the Tows are farmers,
living near here. The Tows are rel
atives of the Tow family which par
ticipated in the bloody Tow-Bass feud
some time ago. A free gravel read
election was held here today and the
village was crowded with farmers.
There had been considerable drinking
and when the Rout brothers drove into
town. and passed the Tows who were
standing neal the election booth, trou-
BILE was looked for.
Two weeks ago at a social affair the
hostility between the two Families had
been re-kindled by a fancied insult to
Charles Rout by a young woman who
favored one Of the Tow boys. Hostil-
tiles were averted at the time but to-
day the Rout brothers announced on
their arrival that they had come to

Five minutes after the Routs reach
ed town today they were seen ap-
preaching the election booth. The Tow
brothers stood about ten feet apart,
awaiting the arrival or the Rouths.
Their is a dispute as to whether there
was any words before the shooting be-
gan and ii is also in doubt a. to who
fired the first shot, bur IL seemed TO.

that 1t was fight to the death. Each
Of the five men drew . revolver and
each side advanced, all firing. The
men were not fifteen feet apart when
the firing ceased. On the ground the
two Rout brothers and Milton Tow lay
dead. James Tow was ~prostrate. IA

able to stand had a bullet In his arm
and another in his side.

Goldsboro. ". c., June 1.-THE very
small crop OF tobacco which has been

people who have been in the tobacco
business here for years to move To
other locations, mong whom are Mr..
Geo. :. Pritchard. who has been with
the Imperial Tobacco Company here
for the past several seasons and whc
has been one of the largest buyers on
this market. and Mr.. James Jones. n
of the most active warehouse mana
gers in the city. who has given up his
house and is going TO move 10 La
grange. The cause assigned for the
small crop which has been planted this
year Is the low price wsich was pafd
for The golden leaf last year. Another
hin which Is discoGraging TO the
dealers in leaf tobacco is the fact that
Goldsboro IS nov n prohibition town.

Counsel for the contestants had
asked whether Samuel VI. Burbank,
as the constant companion OF the
testator. might know something about
a later will. Whether this had

whether the attempt was made solely
