HOT FIGHT At
PRIMARIES
TOMORROW
James N. Glenn Has Withdrawn
as Candidate for Alderman
in Second Ward.
NELSON WILL STAND.
Prepared Ballots Are Being Sent
Out by Both Sides Split
in the Second Ward.

On the day before the primaries,
politics are at feverheat Tomorrow
the voters decide who will be their
ward candidates and who will be
sent to the respective conventions.
The feature today, on the republi-
can side, is the methods being used
by the George j. Haney crowd to
win the county delegates, and, on
the democratic side, of the withdraw
al of James M. Glenn as candidate
for the nomination for aldermen in
the second ward.
Mr.. Glenn today issued the following
statement:
ITO the Democratic voters of the Sec
ond Ward:
'The undersigned, candidate for al
derman in the second ward, desires to
take this occasion to announce his
withdrawal from the primary election
to be held tomorrow. This determna-
tion has not been reached on account
of any fear as to the outcome, but sim
ply to maintain harmony in the demo-
cratic party of this city.
Il desire to thank the gentlemen who
signed my nominating petition. and can
assure them as well as all democrats
that | will use my earnest endeavors in
helping to bring about democratic
victory on election day.
Very sincerely,
JAMES M. GLENN"
A republican primary ballot is being
circulated in the first ward with the
name of Franz Nelson crossed off and
the report is being circulated that Mr..
Nelson has withdrawn. An interview
with Mr.. Nelson over the telephone
this morning proved this report to be
untrue. He authorized q denial and
says he is in the fight to the end. Mr..
Nelson is pledged to work against the
StrongHaney combination.
In the second ward there is a split for
the delegates to the republican county
convention. No petitions We're filed for
the opposing candidates, but the law
allows that names can be written on
the ballot to take the place of those
crossed off. This method is being re-
sorted to. The names written in are
those who are opposed to the Strong
Haney machine.

Rev. William Powell Hill, pastor
of the First Baptist church, surprised
his congregation, ust before the COM
munion service yesterday morn
ing, by reading his resignation to
take effect on or before December
l. The announcement created a mild
sensation and the pastor was pressed
for his reasons. Mr.. Hill explained
that he was leaving because he de-
clared his work here was being ham
pered by disturbing elemental the
church and he felt in best for an e s.
cerned if he should give way to sof1le
one else.
That the great majority of the com
gregation is in sympathy with the
pastor was manifested by the ac-
tions of the people. Mr.. Hill spoke
in the most kindly way and made his
statement in a manner that showed
he had no malice toward anyone.
After the service the congregation
crowded about him expressing their
sympathy, and pressing him to re-
consider his action. At the evening
service Mr.. Hill had more to say on
A. matter, expressing his regard for
aose who had stood by him so nobly
md he regretted leaving them. He de-
clared that excepting for this one eli
ement, his relatives here were OF the
most pleasant nature.
Mr.. Hill has had three places rendered
him, but he has not accepted any OF
them. He has also had offers to go into
evangelistic work. He, says he may
take rest before enterfSg upon pas
toral duties again.
Mr.. Hill came to the Baptis. clRseh
in this city from Union Hill in OcfobE,
1905. He succeeded Rev. p. r. FerrfS,
who resigned about year before. Mr..
Hill was one of the several candidates
heard and it was only after much urg-
ing that he was persuaded to relinquish
his work in Union Hill.
He was born in Philadelphia Febru-
ary 16. 1876. He received his elemen-
tary education in the public schools II
that city and then took up his studies
in the classical course at Temple Coli
lege, Philadelphia, of which Rev. DR..
Russell H. Conwell is president. He
prepared for the ministry at the divin-
/ ity school connected with that college
and took a post graduate course in
Grocer Theological Seminary.
Mr. Hill was licensed to preach by
the Grace Baptist Temple n Philadel-
phia in May, 1895. and he was ordained
to the ministry at the above church,
September 26, 1898. After his ordiLa-

Second Game Exciting.

The second game was more fortunate
for the Pardees, although it did not
look so from the start. Up to the ninth
inning it appeared as though the Gug-
gies had the cup cinched. They had
won the first game and We're steadily
taking the second. In the last few in
nings of the second game, which was to
decide the cup and championship, the
big crowd went wild. Some of them
cheered while others nearly demolished
the grandstand with their feet. Their
excitement and interest was aroused.
Money was plentiful against the Par
dees, but the fans seemed to be afraid
to take it. 1t truly was the most excit-
ing three innings of baseball that had
been seen here this year. The umpire's
calls could not be heard and he was
forced to use signals. The cheering
was kept up until Cunningham crossed
the plate at the end of the tenth inning,
winning the game for the Pardees and
at that time the immense crowd rose to
their feet and cheered.
At the start of the eighth inning,
when the score stood to in the Gug
gies favor, the excitement commenced.
Earl Fladd was first up and he died at
first. Wolneys followed him and repeat

CRUISER
SINKS A FRU|TER
Seven Reported Drowned Off
New Orleans
SIGNAL HIDDEN IN HAZE
American Steamer Huaoma, Which
Was Rammed, Is at Crescent
Curve and Is Almost Cut

SIGNAL HIDDEN IN HAZE

New Orleans, February 20.-In hazy
weather the French cruiser Kleber to-
night rammed and sank the American
frsIit steamer Hugoma In the Mississippi
river just off the center of the city. Cap
tain Lewis, of the Hugoma, said that
seven coal passers and firemen had been
drowned on his vessel. Most of them
we're japanese. James O'Neal suffered n
broken leg from the impact. o'Neal Is
from New York.
The cruiser was but slightly damaged.
The kleber. just arriving from Havana,
was rounding the sharp turn which gives
New orleans the name of the Crescent
city, and the Hugoma, drifting with the
siX-mile eddying current of the present
flood water, turned directly into the man
of-wars path.
Captain Lewis, of the Hugoma, says
that his signal was mistaken by the war
ship. The latter struck the fruitshlp
amidships on the port side. nearly cuttns
the vessel in twain, and within five min
utes tho Hugoma plunged to the bottom
In more than 100 feet of water. Several
of her crew scrambled upon the bows of
the cruiser before the latter backed free.
while others lowered boats and one or
two jumped into the river. The launching
Of boats was extremely difficult, for when
struck the Hugoma rolled far to star
board, remaining there until the cruiser
backed off, when the fruitship imme-
diately listed far to port and began to
go down.
The IIugoma was bound for Porto Rican
ports, carrying over is, 600 pockets of rice,
nearly 5000 sacks of flour and a consign-
ment of crossties. The vessel was Of
small tonnage and was built In 1901 at
Wyandotte, Mich.
The Hugoma is owned by the New York
and Porto Rico Steamship company, but
is chartered to New York parties.
Late tonight the report that seven OF
the Hugoma's crew had been drowned had
not been confirmed, and the steamers
purser said he believed all on board had
been saved. The steamers crossties made
good life preservers for those who
jumped overheard.
The Hugoma carried twentysiX men, In
GLIDING officers, and she had no passen-
gers.
On board the cruiser Kleber We're Paul
Lefaivre, French minister to Cuba, and
Admiral Thierry. commander of the At
lantic division of the French navy The
commander of the cruiser said that the
Hugoma was responsible for the collision,
having attempted to cross the man-of-
wars bows A ferryboat had passed be-
tween the two vessels shortly before they
struck.

Washington, February 20.-None of the

George Peabody Of London in 1867 ana
amounting to between s.. 600 and s.. 400, :
600, will be distributed among the educa-
aional institutions of the southern states

This decision was reached after six

Washington, February 20.-Municipal
Fairgrounds within easy walking distance

We're advocated tonight by President
Roosevelt in letter and by Representa-
tive Boutelle of Chicago and other speak
ers "at playground banquet" given UNI
der the auspices of the Washington Play.
grounds association.
President Roosevelt in letter addressed
to Cuneo H. Randolph, president Of the
Washington Fairgrounds association,
strongly commended the renewed inter-
est in play and playing grounds through
out the country. He advocates municipal
provision for Fairgrounds for every child
at school, these to be within walking
distance of every boy and girl and prop
erly supervised by the cities. He urged
cities to secure the available ground at
once in order to avoid the necessity of
later demolshing blocks of buildings to
secure such space. President Roosevelt
says in this letter in part:
II have noted with pleasure the great
work your association has done in pro-
noting Fairgrounds for the national cap
ital. | am especially pleased with the pros
pect of Congress granting this year an
appropriation for the purchase of play
ground sites. / regard this as one of the
most important steps toward making
Washington the model city which we all
feel that the capital Of this nation should
be.
II have been pleased also to see that
there is also a new interest in play and
Fairgrounds all over the country. The
annual meeting of the Playground Asso-
citation of America will be held III Chica-
go in June. | trust that all of our larger
municipalities will send representatives to
this meeting and see the magnificent sys-
tenn that Chicago has erected in their
South park section, one of the most not
able civic achievements of any American
city.
1.-The Public School Athletic league of
New York has organized athletics along
sane and helpful lines for thousands of
school children. There Is a general feeling
In our schools and colleges also for larger
athletic fields and the participation of n
larger proportion of the students in ath-
letc events.
"Play at present is almost the only
method of physical development for city
children, and we must provide facilities
for it if we would have the children strong
and law-abiding. We have raised the age
at which the child may go to work and
increased the number of school years
These changes involve increased expense
for parents with decreased return from
the child. If we do not allow the chill
dren TO work we must provide some other
place than the streets for their leisure
time. II we would have our citizens con-
tented and law-abiding, we must not SOW
the seed of discomfort in childhood by
denying children their birth right of
play"
