WOMAN MYsTERIousLY SLAIN
Bullet Hole Found in Top Of Head ane
Man Has Disappeared.

Man HAS disappeared.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 28.-Min-
neapolis police are confronted by an.
other mysterious hotel murder, which
promises to develop as many sensa.
lions as did that Of Mile Ellison, who
was murdered at the National hotel a
few months ago.
Attendants at the Glennwood hotel,
on Hennerin avenue, Wednesday after,
noon broke into a room which had
been occupied by couple who regis.
tered on Tuesday as Fred Tyler and
wife, and found on the bed the body of
a beautiful young woman. Blood oos-
Ing from wound in the top of the
head and apparently she had been
dead for several hours
1t is said that the man who accom-.
panied her was seen leaving the hotel
early yesterday, but no one can give
an accurate description of him. The
woman was apparently of the better
class. her clothing being of elegant
material and fashionable model. and
her face and hands giving evidence of
refinement.
Nothing was found to positively es-
tablish her identity, it being the police
theory that the couple registered un-
der assumed names. Her shoes bore
the mark Of a fashionable st. Paul
shop and her linen was marked 81.
T." and bore the shop mark of st.
Paul laundry.
The body was at once taken to the
morgue, where an autopsy was held.
1t was found that death was caused by
bullet which had been fred into the
top of her head
Both the Minneapolis and st. Paul
police are at work on the case, but so
far nothing has developed which would
establish either the identity Of the
woman or her murdered

Lawrence Cooper Chosen Member of th'
 General Council.

| General Council.
 | St. Paul, Minn.. Aug. 29.-Prominent lawyers from all parts of the country | gathered here today to attend the 1 twenty-ninth annual meeting of the American Bar Association. This meet | ing of the association is significant be- cause of several matters of great inn | portance which will be considered. A
 warm debate is expected when the Committee on Insurance presents its
 report Federal supervision over tn- surance is favored by a majority of the committed. who, in their report, hold 1 that insurance is interstate commerce. A vigorous minority report will be sent to the association attacking the theory that insurance Is interstate commerce land can be regulated by the Federal | Government.
 The attorneys are especially interest ed in securing the passeg of bill by Congress to create q court of patent appeals. The report of the committee on this matter recommends bill creating such a court to be presided over by five judges, who shall sit on cases arising over patents.
 As one of the principal objects of the association js to uphold the honor of the profession, tha report of the comnittee on a code of professional ethics vii be one which will meet with some interesting discussion In the report a stingin grebuks is meted out to the 'shyster" lawyer.
 The first session was called to oraer
 by George R. Peck of Chicago, Presi-
 dent of the Association, who delivered
 his annual address, in which he com
 municated the most noteworthy
 changes in statute law in points or
 general interest made in the several
 States and by Congress during the pre-
 ceding year.
 When MT. Peck had concluded the
 nominations and elections of members
 was taken up. This was followed by the election of tha General Council. the reports of the Secretary treasurer and the Executive Committee. Following the PresI ents address new members were elected. The in- crease for the year was 614. thus ln- creasing the previous membership to 2,663. Among those chosen members of the general council were;

TYSON NOW
 CONFIDENT Feels He Has Defeated Judge Weakley. CLAIMS CONVENTION MAJORITY Committee Estimates Counties in
 Local Mans List. Delayed Returns Make Accurate In- formation Impossible, Hut Mont somery Man Is satisfied of
 His Nomination.

At a late hour last night Judge John R. Tyson and members of his Committee stated their positive belief that the Judge had secured sufficient votes fo elect him Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court Delayed returns from Jefferson and other counties in the Northern part of the State made close figures impossible. but from the estimates obtained. the friends of the Montgomery candidate had no hesi- tancy in claiming the victory. So far as an accurate summary of the vote is concerned. 1t is probable the total vote of the State will not be accurately obtained until after tho of ficial announcement. Chief Justice Weakley claims to have carried forty seven counties. while Judge Tyson, on the other hand. has information which makes him confident of thirty-seven counties. His committee also claims they are assured of a majority of the delegates of the State Convention at which the Chief Justice will be nomi- mated September 10.
 Seated at long table, heaped high with litter of telegrams, torn and crumpled sheets of paper and others covered over with significant array of figures. in his campaign headquar- ters. last night, Judge John R. Tyson talked of his race for the Chief Jus
 
 ticeship.
 We have been very careful through out this campaign not to make any assertions which we might later have to retract." he said, still l can say to you tonight that I feel gratified at the news contained in the bulletins which we have received from all over the State, and I think there is jus tification for feeling confident over the outcome.
 Out of the sixty-seven counties in the State. we are now sure of thirty seven, and the vote in a large num- Der has been overwhelmingly in our favor. I do not think there Is any doubt that we have received a large majority of the popular vote, and am In hopes that we will have the largest delegation in the convention"
 MT. Tyson paused and glanced at his manager of the campaign.
 we have not yet heard anything definite from Sumter, Madison. Morgan. Clarke or Choctaw. but I do not think the vote in tn h--> C nties will geartly affect the result one way or another, and I have every reason to believe we will not be out of the race in these districts.
 You have noticed. of course. that our opponents have published lists of counties which they affirmed would be found in their column, but which have not all gone according to their preeic- ton, including a number of counties which we did not rely on carrying. What we want particularly to hear from no wis something positive from North Alabama. In Jefferson. the in- dications are that we will receive fifty per cent of the vote. and the count, when completed, may give us major ity."
 Judge Tyson appeared fresh and un- bending after the strain and rigors Of campaign which weaker man ment- ally and physically would have found is hard to withstand.

 Columbia, S. C.. Aug. 29-Returns from the Democratic primary gives An sel. anti-dispensary, a good lead for Governor The race will be settled fin ally two weeks from now.
 J. Fraser Lyon, -dfspensary, has long lead for Attorney General and will probably make second race with J. w. Ragsdale. his nearest opponent. R. M. McCown probably will be elect ed on the first ballot. A. W. Jones and D. | Walker are running neck and neck for Comptroller General, with the chances in favor of Jones. J. c.

. Columbiana. Aug. s.-(Special) )-No reports from this county have gone to the newspapers. for the reason that the wires are down. Out of nineteen beats in the county. returns are ia from all except five. The returns, as received, give Cunningham a majority of 19. It Is question as to which will carry the county. The vote will stand very close. The vote as to the other State officers is not known. Only few of the beats heard from. but the indi- cations point to the fact that Weak1ey has carried the county by very small majority. Johnston and Knox seem ta have carried the county for alternate United States Senator. A light vote was polled. owing to the fact that the capdidates for county officers had nc opposition. The entire vote polled in the primary will barely exceed TOO.

THE GREYs' HOP.
Sergeant Gaston Lewis WiIS Prize i'm
 Exhibition Drill.


 A large gathering of interested friends went out to see the prize drill of the Greys and thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The pavilion at Pickett SprinEs was the scene of the drill and hop which followed. It was elaborate ly decorated for the evening in the national colors in bunting and flags. From each beam a flag was draped and bunting encircled the entire pavilion. Shortly after 9 o'clock the company marched in and under the leadership of Capt, Everett Jackson, First Lieu tenant Allen McNeal and Second Lieu tenant T. c. Lock went through an ex- hibition drill which delighted the spectators anc did credit to the officers and members of the Greys
 The intensest interest was evlnced when the company was drawn up in line for the prize drill, and this interest increased as the men began to drop out for errors and the contestants became fewer and fewer, until Sergeant Gaston Lewis stood alone to receive the ap- plause with which he was greeted.
 Captain Jackson escorted Miss Ro- berta Roberts, sponsor of t-ie company, who stepped to the center of the pavil- ion and Sergeant Lewis obeyed an or der to approach her She presented him the prize, and in charming manner told him that soldiers gallantry was more than sponson's speech, and pre- dicted for him that some day he would make as fine captain for the company as Captain Jackson. Unwrapping the prize. 1t was discovered to be a tin sword, but this "ti nsoldier" had the honor that the reward indicated, of be- ing the best-drilled man in his com pany
 The grand march which followed tho awarding of the prize and opened the hop, was led by Captain Jackson with Miss Dubose of Selma and First Lieu tenant Allen McNeel with Miss Roberta Roberts. There were near fifty couples in the march and the dance of eighteen numbers which followed.

BOYD DENIES CHARGES.
Asserts Innocence of Charge of Pass.
 ing Forged Checks.

ing FOfEed CheckA.
 Will H. Boyd, of 1260 South Deca- tur Street, has returned to Montgom- cry after an absence of several weeks in South Carolina and indignantly de- nies the report of his complicity in attempting to pass a forged check In Carolina.
 It was stated in the report that Boyd assisted a man named J. B. R. Glasby in cashing a bogus draft on a Colum- bia bank. It appears according to MT Royd's explanation of the affair that he had been asked to present the draft for payment by one of the board CTS in the house where he lived, who was i'll al the time.
