SUDDEN CLOSE
CONDOR SCHOOL

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Sept. f9.-The
Gender Training School, which had
during its brief existence of little
more than two years become one of
the best-known institutions of the
kind in, this section, was closed today,
its principal ]. E. Gender, having left
for parts unknown. The school had
Just opened for it's third year with ex-
ceedingly bright prospects, having
several more students than the, limit
that had been placed on the number.
Financial difficulties are said to
have caused Prof. Gender to leave. 1t
is known that he owes large sum in
small amounts, but it was generally
believed that his school was paying SO
handsomely that he could pull through
all right. Immediately after the dis
missal of the school several attach
rnents were served on the books ana
furniture and other school fixtures
Everything but the library Is molc
gagged.
Prot. Gender left Huntsville on Mon
day and stated that he was going to
Tennessee to visit his mother. Inc oil
the patrons of the school received
letter today postmarked Chattanooga
in which Gender said that he would
not come back, as 1t was useless 70
try to fight against adversely any
longer. Learning this, several OF the
parents who had their children in the
school, went and took them away and
the doors of the institution were
closed.
There is great regret here over the
passing of this school. The demand
Is so keen here for an institution OF
this kind that steps have been taken
to have Prof. S. r. Butler or some
other good man take charge.

Fair Association, was seen at the
grounds this morning and asked for
statement. Mr.. Thomas said that he,
personally, and the other officers of
the Association were and had always
been opposed to gambling and would
not wink at or stand for 1t on the
grounds of the Association. That
they had refused for the past three
years to protect gambling Of any kind,
or allow it, even when they had a
right under the law to do so, and every
officer of the law would secure their
full commentator only when they en-
forced the law in every particular

Last year we had right under the
law to permit pool-selling and gamb-

against him before. When he wanted

There was an element OF chance in his
games, but every man who paid dime
got a prize. though some who held
fortunate numbers got larger prizes
than others. There was no money
gambling and We considered the
games harmless and sold the privi-
leges. The man bought seven priv
ileges. including these games and the

even a magistrate or Recorder, much
less Mr.. fowler, could have taken a
submission or fixed fine. The only
thing to have done under the law
would have been to bind the men over
to the Circuit and sent them to Jail,
unless they could make the bond fixed
by law.
Mr.. fowler was seen at the city hall
and questioned in regard to the mat

promised to leave town he gave them
back nearly all their devices.
CITY Attorney VOORHEES, was inter-

that such was the case. Asked ii the

EXPECT CARMACK
TO MAKE RACE
NASHVILLE PAPERS DECLARE
THAT SENATOR WILL MAKE
ANNOUNCEMENT SOON.

Following the conference of sup
porters of Senator Carmack in Nash
vile Wednesday at which he was
urged to make the race for Governor,
both the morning papers Of that city

ward W. Carmack will be candidate
for governor Of Tennessee next year

day, at the conclusion of long con-
ference with several of his closest ad-
visers from various parts OF the state
and while they would not confirm the
statement. it still remains about as
sure an event as anything within the
realm of possibility can be.
"The tip is so strong that, to use
race track pNrlance, 1t is "one best
bet" and while no definite announce
ment was made yesterday, on every
side the belief is now almost univer-
sal that the brilliant ex-senator VIII
again be on the hustings when the
next gubernatorial campaign opens up,
battling for the honor of becoming the
standard bearer of the democratic
party. and later the next governor OF
Tennessee"
The American makes the following
declaration in its report Of the con-
ference:
"In response to the demands made
upon him by a number OF admirers
who gathered at the Maxwell House.
Wednesday, Hon. Edward w. Car
mack is expected to announce his can
didocy for Governor of Tennessee
within the next few days in opposition
to Gov. Malcolm r. Patterson. While
Mr.. Carmack insists that he has
he has reached no definite conclusion
as to what course he will pursue In
the matter. friends of the, ex-senator
are enthusiastic in their belief that
Mr.. Carmack will make his announce
ment within the next few days"
