DAVIDSON MAY WANT
THE GUARDIANSHIP
j. o. THOMPSON WILL PROBABLY
HAVE OPPOSITION FOR HIS
PLACE AS CHAIRMAN OF REPUB-
LIcAN STATE COMMITTEE.

The gathering of attorneys and others
interested from different parts of north.
cast and west Alabama, to attend the
spring term of the federal court now in
session, has brought forth much repub-
lican political gossip. The matter being
discussed widely by the members of the
party is the question of who is to be
the chairman of the state committee.
The Craftsmanship of the committee is
now being filed by j. o. Thompson in
ternal revenue collector, but it now seems
that when the state republican commit
tee meets, which will probably be within
the next sixty days that the name of
Julius w. Davidson will be presented. Mr..
Davidson was assistant United States dis
trict attorney during the Mckinley ad-
ministration and he presided at the ia
NOUS Lilly White" convention of the
party which was held in Birmingham.
Mr. Thompson was the presiding officer
over the BLACK and Tan" convention
held later.

reference to my candidacy for the chair
manship of the republican state commit
tee" said Mr.. Davidson last night and
don't know yet that l shall. The matter
has only been suggested to me in a
casual way by my friends.
Il do not know anything of interest
in the republican party in the state.

in the convention being based on the num-
Der of votes cast by each county in the

Inasmuch as Mayor Ward cast the
500 votes OF the City Council in favor OF
Red mountain at the election yesterday
it is taken for granted in city hall circles
that he will be opposed to allowing the
Iron Man to be set up in Capitol park.
The matter will probably come before

COMMITTEES APPOINTED

By an overwhelming majority the sub
scribers to the Vulcan fund yesterday
voted to place the big statue in Capitol
park. The crest of Red mountain at the
head of twentieth street was the only
other place for which votes were cast,
and it ran a bad second.
The vote stood SIT for Capitol park and
2165 for Red mountain, a majority of 6552
Even without the 5000 votes cast for Capt.
toll park by the Board of Revenue. Capt.
toll park would have won by good ma
iority. The polls opened yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock and did not close until
p. m 1882 votes having been cast.
After the site had been selected, the
club appointed a committee of five to
request the Mayor and Aldermen of Bir-
mingham to set aside a space in the park
where Vulcan could be erected. A COM
mittee of three was also appointed to en-
ploy an architect to make plans and speci-
fications for the pedestal on which the
statue will be placed.
Regarding Inscriptions.
Following the selection of site reso-
luton was passed providing for a COM
mlttee of five to receive suitable inscrip-
lions to go on the base of the statue.
Following is the resolution which was
offered by Fred NJ. Jackson and unani-
mously adopted
Resolved further That the president
club be- and he is hereby authorized, to
appoint a committee of five to go before
the City Council and request that the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen designate
a suitable place to be set apart in Capt.
tol park for the erection of Vulcan.
Resolved further, that the president
shall appoint a committee of three to
employ an architect to make plans and
specifications for the foundation and
pedestal for Vulcan, and that the same
committee be further authorized and en-
powered to receive bids and award the
contract for the erection of Vulcan as
soon as is practicable.
Committee Appointed.
President Motion appointed Fred NJ.
Jackson, Culpepper Exum, Frank Nelson.
Jr., NJ. P. Messer and Kinds Peevey on
the committee to ask the City Council for
the site. On the other committee provided
for in the resolution, j. Rivers Carter,
T. c. Thompson and J. B. Gibson were
appointed. The president did not appoint
the committee ON inscriptions.
Mr.. Carter spoke on the matter of an
Inscription, saying that he thought a
suitable. one should be chosen and one
that would do honor to the Commercial
club for raising the money for the statue.
He said that as it would be read for years
it should be in every respect fitting. After
several motions, amendments and counter
motions, J. b. Gibson moved that COM
mittee of five be appointed to receive
inscriptions which might be suggested by
the members of the club to choose sew
eral of these and to report them to the
club. His motion was carried

FRIGHTFUL WRECK.
Two Rio Grande Passenger Trains
IN Head ON Collision.

Early Friday morning there oc-
Cured the worst wreck ever
known on the D. & R. G. with the
exception of the Eden disaster.
By a mistake in train orders two
passenger trains were brought
into collision a short distance
from Portland. The lists of
dead and wounded are not as yet
complete but THE NEWSPAPER
has secured the latest advices,
holding the paper over for sew
eral hours for the purpose. Esti-
mates show death list that will
probably reach sixty at least.
The horror of the disaster was
augmented by the cars catching
on fire and it is said that some
thirty-6ve persons we're cremated
in the ruins. Some will never be
identified, the bodies being so
nearly consumed that they cannot
be recognized.
The very latest reports as we
60 to press are that 81 persons
were killed and that as yet but
twenty have been identified.
This part of the country was
lucky in that the unfortunate
train was the one that leaves
Denver at 500 o'clock and is
rarely taken by anyone wishing to
reach this part of the state.
The disaster occurred through
the operator at Swallows going
to sleep and on waking giving the
train orders to this train that
should have been delivered to the
one preceding it. Upon learn
ing of the result of his careless
ness he disappeared and has not
been found.
Very few persons we're injured
and not killed. Those in the chair
car of the west bound train we're
practically all burned to death.
Seven coaches we're consumed.
The three fremen are dead,
two of the engineers are dead and
the other is dying. The west
bound train was double header.

MRS. JACOB WERDER DEAD.
Passed Away Suddenly as a Result of
Heart Failure Monday Morning.

Mrs. Jacob Werder, residing on
Minnesota avenue, near Third street,
died very suddenly shortly after
three o'clock Monday morning.
Heart failure was the cause of her
death.
The evening before Mrs. Werder
complained of headache and re-
tired at the usual hour. About
three o'clock Monday morning she
was awakened by the headache
pains and on arising, she became
suddenly i'll and second or two
later she fell over on the floor,
dead.
Mr.. Werder had previously been
awakened by his wife, and as she
fell over, he arose and awoke the
other inmates of the house. Mrs.
Werder was placed on the bed and
then it was first discovered that she
was dead. A physician was called.
VINO pronounced the cause of death
as stated above
The funeral will be held from the
residence at IL o'clock this morning,
Rev. Saar of North Redwood off
ciating. The interment will occur
in the cemetery in New Avon town
ship, where Mrs. Werder's first
husband is buried.
Mrs. Werder was born in Switzer-
land about 55 years ago. While
still residing there, she met and
was married to Gottlieb Hauptli,
and she came with him to this coun-
try many years ago. Mr.. Hauptli
passed away about ten years ago
and three or four years ago Mrs.
Hauptli was married to Mr.. Werder.
She leaves five living children by
her former husband.

the hope that political lightning
might strike him and give him a
nomination he was afraid to seek
in the regular way. The meeting
was composed Of the odds and ends
of the political butcher shop. Bank
ers and holders of bank stock, vii
lage merchants, lawyers, farmers,
Office holders, ex office holders,
and would-be office holders, with, of
course, the usual complement of
newspaper men, and yet this was
called meeting of farmers, in
which everybody talked and reso-
luted but the farmers. e Politically,
this meeting was made up of Pro-
hibitionists, Pops, Democrats, So
cialists and Republicans, and if
there was any other kind of sore
head he must have been represented
there. By such motley crowd as
this was the political bologna cut,
mixed and stuffed at Wabasso.
The substance Of the resolutions,
when sifted of the useless verbiage,
were good enough and all good citi-
zens could endorse them, tho they
were more fitted, most of them, to
congressional than state politics.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Horrible Death of Mrs. John O'Bfien a
Weli-known Lady, kResiding
Near Wabasso.
Clothing Caught fire. and in Frenzy
She Ran Some Distance Be-
fore She was Overtaken.

Mrs. John O'Brien, residing in
or near Wabasso, was fatally burned
in her home about 1920 p. m. last
Wednesday evening. 1t appears that
Mrs. O'Brien attempted to close the
check draft of the coal stove, using
the corner of her apron to protect
her hand. At this moment a blaze
shot forward FROM the stove, catch
ing her apron which burned with
startling rapidity. She ran to a
closet followed by Mr.. O'Brien, who
was in the room at the time and
who endeavored to smother the
flames with a blanket. She stayed
there only a few moments, when
in her excitement she ran out of
doors in the direction of the water
tank, but finding no water there she
ran towards the house of a neigh
Dor. She was overtaken by Mr..
O'Brien who succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames by rolling her
in the snow, but not until nearly
all her clothing had been burned.
She was brought into the house and
neighbors summoned.
DR.. Gosslee was sent for but he
found upon examination that moth
ing could be done to save her life,
as she was terribly burned and her
death was but a question of few
hours. She was not unconscious at
any time and during the last half
hour she appeared to be entirely
free from pain.
The funeral was held Friday and
the remains were taken to Sleepy
Eye for interment.

Mess Meeting" and PokeSiSome.

To THE GAZETTE: The writer of

that he would ever again take any
active part in Redwood county poll
tics, but the exigency of the time
and the asinine of doings of the
Wabasso mass meeting $50 called
compel utterance or burst blood
vessel. We have before us several
reports of this meeting, but the
fullest are those of THE GAZETTE,
and Belview Independent. In the
Independent the resolutions passed
are given verbatim, in THE GAZETTE
we have an intelligent summary of
the whole performance and we wish
to compliment the editor on the
stand taken in reference to this
meeting, viz; that it was outre,
illegal and not binding on any one
present. In consideration of the
anomalous nature of the meeting in
its component parts we must take
the liberty of changing the word
mass into mess and the report
headings would then read Wabasso
mess meeting, for such it was.
This meeting recalls to our mem
DRY cartoon in one of our twin
city dailies, when the congressional
committee reported to the House
the Wilson tariff bill. The picture
represented Uncle Sam sitting at
table with his carving knife and
fork in his hands and a very serious
look on his face, looking up at a
waiter who is about to put on the
table huge bologna sausage in a
big dish. Uncle Sam asks the ques-
tion What's in it," The waiter s
pose and broad grin indicated as
plain as words could tell it, that nc
one could tell what was in it be

stuffed it. And we may ask the
same question Of the Wabasso mess
