TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS FIGHT
Row on Floor of Convention Jasts
over Six Hours-Adjournment
without organizing.

NASHVILLE Tenn. May 2.-The state
democratic convention which met here today
to nominate candidates for governor and
railroad commissioners adjourned at $40
this evening until 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning, without even eftecting temporary
organization. 1t was decidedly the most
turbulent body of the kind that ever as
sembled in Tennessee. Free fights were
numerous and il was with the utmost
difficulty that any record of the pro-
ceedings could be made.
Adjournment was taken after an under
standing had been reached between the
leaders of opposing factions that the three
gubernatorial candidates, Governor John l.
Cox, Congressman Malcolm r. Patterson
and Judge John r. Bond. each name four
representatives who snail constitute a COM
mittee to decide on a temporary chairman.
Before this agreement was effected the
battle over contested delegations occupied
the entire time Of the convention. The SER
vices of the police were necessary from the
outset. n
Vice ,'2an W. X. Abernathy Of the

Abernathy was often swept aside by the
tempest and, with many speaking and
shouting from various parts of the hall,
none could be recognized. Once the chair
man laid down the gavel and advanced
to the front of the stage, as ne says, to
make himself heard. When he went back
for the gavel Luke Lea of Davidson

was essaying to act as presiding ohicer.
Abernathy protested. Lea was obdurate
and from then on there were two presiding
officers and pandemonium reigned on the

Lynch, e carpet printer Of Philadelphia
was arrested here to-day by officers of the

sixteen year-old girl, was living with Lynch
as his wife at the Franklin House here. He
had taken the name of Joseph C. Jones.
The girl was arrested with him. Both are
in jail in default Of bail.
The local society became interested in
the case through the Philadelphia Children's
society. Lynch deserted his eighteen-year-
old wife and an infant child in Philadelphia
for the Davis girl, and it was learned that
he had come to this part of the country to
got work. He was discovered at the Beattie
Carpet Mills at Singac. An effort vas made
by the girl to destroy a paper tina she took
from the dresser in their room, but she
succeeded only in tearing the paper to
pieces, When they were put together the
identity of the couple was established
without doubt as it contained a narrative
of their doings since they left Philadelphia.

refused to permit Lynch's effects to be
taken way until a board bill Of IS was set
tied. The Children's society paid the
bill.
