KILLED BY TRAIN
AGED MAN BEwILDERED WHILE
 CROSSING TRACKS.
c. W. Gelaer While Eaieying a Nora inx Stroll Ks Run Down and 1langled By Mobile and
 Ohio Train.

Mobile. July 29.--( Special )--Bewild- cred by the onrushing of a Mobile and Ohio train as 1t sped through Whistler this morning, c. W. Gelder, one of the oldest residents of that section stood transhxed in the middle of the tracks and a moment there- after was ground to death beneath the wheels of the engine.
 The accident happened at 7:4s o'clock this morning. time when Mir Gelder was accustomed to take q morning. s stroll. On this occasion he started to cross the tracks. not noticing that a train was bearing down upon him. and altogether needless of the shrieking of the engines whistle. which. on ac- count of his deafness, he failed to hear.
 when it finally dawned on him that the train was close upon him, instead of continuing to cross the track, which the engineer evidently supposed he would do, and while there was still ample time to do. the aged man sud- denly seemed to have become paralyzed and stood stock stil1 while the train ran him down. The COW catcher of the engine turned his body to one side but he fell with his legs across the tracks and both were severed. There was also a large confusion of the head. which the. physicians think rendered him immediately unconscious. if it did not cause instant death.
 Some two hours afterward the body was viewed by Coroner Hirshheld who rendered a verdict of accidental death. The deceased Is. survived by one sister. The engineer of the train was A. l.. Smith. who proceeded with his train to Citroneile.

Hervey had returned from their trip to the North. Both were kept busy shaking hands with their friends and receiving their con- gratulations on their return, for more than an hour, when Mrs. Hervey sue ceeded in making her escape to her rooms, leaving MT. Hervey to play host for at least another hour.
 The most important news he could bring back with him, Mir. Hervey said was that he had succeeded in securing to Mobile the convention of the Ma tionaI Hotel men for next year. He had attended the convention at Sara toga and the matter of the place of holding the next years convention has been a hard fight. he said, between the South and the West. Invitations had been received from Mobile. Chattanoo- ga and Atlanta, and also from Seattle Wash, the latter invitation being back ed up by a strong delegation. The first fight had been between the South and the West. in which the South won. When 1t came to a choice of South ern city. there was more difficulty and the meeting was finally decided by a compromise. The convention of next year will, therefore, be divided up. Two days will be spend in Mobile, one in Chattanooga and the other in At lanta. The annual meeting will be held here.
 Speaking of his plans fo the Battle House, Mir. Hervey said 1t would posi- lively be opened on November 1. He had purchased all the furniture and also the carpets and uph olstery, all of which will be of the very latest in hotel hxings. MT. Hervey said he had struck a new idea at the Knicker- booker Hotel in New York City. which he intends to adopt here. This will be the turning of the Loggia and part of the first balcony Into a summer dIn- ing room. which will be In addition to | the roof garden.
 Speaking of his trip, Mir. Hervey ! said 1t had been an enjoyable one and saving for a gale during the second l day at sea, the voyage back had been most pleasant. All the hotel men he had met. he said, spoke hopefully of the outlook for good winters busi- ness.

 CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.
Agftation Threatens to Divide Many Heretofore Closely Allied in PoIi- ties--0ther News eff the
 FIorfam City.

Pensacola. Fla, July as.--(speciai.) --The Congressional contest which re- gently resulted ir Hon J. Walter Kehoe. of this city. being declared the nominee by the Third Congres- sional Committee. threatens to divide many of those who have heretofore been closely allied in politics, as Hon. Dannitte H Mays. the other candi- date for the office, has announced that he intends xunnings as an independent in November against MT. Kehoe.
 The latter. when the returns were received several weeks ago, stated that there had been frauds in some coun- ties and he proposed to contest the nomination of Mir. Mays, who was then in the lead by about fifty votes, and this he did. with the result that frauds of gross nature were discovered in one precinct in Leon county. and ir- regularities in other counties.
 The congressional committee with the showing made was compelled to throw out the pricincts where frauds had been declared with the result that the lead of Mays was reduced and Kehoe declared to be the nominee by nineteen votes. At former meetings the vote had been a tie on the proposi- tion to throw out the precincts. but at the meeting when Kehoe was de- elared the nominee one committeeman heretofore voting for Mays was absent and sent no proxy. thus breaking the tie.

 Think Present Canal Inadequate..
 Florence. July 29.--(Special. )---Sen. ators J. H. Bankhead and Joseph H. Johnstone spent the night in Florence last night on their return from an inc spection of the great work on Muscle Shoals. They seemed to be deeply impressed with the idea that the pres- ent canal Is entirely inadequate for the commerce of the river.
 The Senators expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the slack wa ter navigation indicated by the act of the present Congress authorizing and directing a board of engineers to make a survey of the river and to re- port on the cost of three dams to give proper navigation and incident ally to develop a great water power. Major W. M. Harts. of Nashville, an accomplished engineer officer of the navy and one of the board. accom- panied the Senator's and seemed to appreciate fully the gravity of the situation. The Senators were enter tained at dinner last night at the Jef- ferson Hotel.

 Mobile. July 29.--(sp scial. )-Early this morning the police department was notified by telephone that clue had been discosered that it was believed would result in the apprehension of the party who Is guilty Of killing the COW belonging to Mrs. Clausen.
 Instantly upon the receipt of the message Detectives Murphy and Lacey were dispatched 10 the scene, and on the other side the pasturage. about ITS yards from where the COW was killed. they were shown q traif of blood spot g. This they traced to a small cottage two blocks away only to discover that the blood spots had been made by a child who had cut her foot.
 The detectives say that the feeling against the perpetrators of the out rage Is quite strong In the neighbor- hood of the pastursge. and all the peo- pie living near there are doing all they can to find the culprit. They venture the assertion that. 1t will be a great deal better for the man or men wno did it to fall into the hands of the po- lice. than into the hands of the out ragged people, whom 1t is intimated will make short work of the matter of obtaining justice.

 McCafferty's friend bears the name of J. L. Hayes. He was arrested yes- terday by Policeman Petrol at Dau- phin and Royal Street. His friend. with scant courtesy immediately start ed in to wrestle with the policeman who used his club with some effect.

 This morning the recorder fined Me- cansrty s42 50 for being drunk and an extra s1O for interfering with an ofacer. Hayes was fined $2.5e

 CEPTANCE.
Says Takt'm Referemee te Abuse of In- tunetien Justiaes Very Abuse of That Writ by the
 Courts.

Washington. July 2s.--(Speclal.l- l-s Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, is any. thing but pleased over the utterancas of MT. Taft in his speech of accept. ance.
 Being asked for an expression of opinion today MT. Gompers said:
 ''Mr. Taft's reference to the abuse of the writ of injunction tustifes the very abuse of that writ by the courts and against which we protest. It 1ustihes the inJunctions that were issued in re- cent and most aggravated cases. With out mentioning the name, Mir. Taft Jus- tifies the injunction with the Van Cleave Buck Stove and Range Com pany of St. Louis secured from Justice Gould of the District of Columbia Su- prmee Court against the American Fed eratton of Labor, It's ofieers. the mem. bers of all labor organizations and their friends. Mir. Taft is consistent with Judge Taft when he was upon the bench and issued his in1unetions which are now quoted by the courts for their Justification in Issuing in. functions denying to the men of labor the rights accorded to every other eit- izen in the country"
 Tn his report to the Chief of Engi- nsers, Major William ". HaFts de- sertbes the work done during the last fiscal year on the Tennessee river from tance of 2Ss miles. It consisted chief ly of earth and rock excavations. and there were many obstacles that were difdcult to overcome. As to the Col bert Shoals canal (edsht milesl he says the work progressed favorabiy. On this project the expenditures during the year were s300.35s. The available bal. anna Trf1U rwaa Naaa arak quired to complete the project. a75s.000. and the engineer suggests that sI20.- 000 should be appropriated for eonttn- uing the work during the coming year. On the improvement of the river below Rlvertcn (22e miles), Major Harts says:
 "At the beginning of the fiscal year the dredgs Kentucky, with its attend. ant plant, reached this section of the river in the latter part of June, 1907, and had nearly finished dredging a channel 1s00 feet long through Pet ticot bar (175 miles above Paducah), a locality which had only recently come to be regarded as . aerlous impedi- ment to navigation. 4 channel 120 feet wide and six feet deep at low water has been completed"
 After mentioning st sorne length the methods employed in removing ob- structions to navigation would enable Island, Rockport bar, Danville and head es Three Mile Island, Major Harts sums up as follows: The season was favorable for work and the improve ments made have already been of great value in permitting deeper loading and easier navigation. The results have been very satisfactory. Investigatior shows that but little shoaling has ta- ken place anywhere in the new cuts, although some was expected, especial. ly at Rockport bar. which, however, has remained practically as when nn- ished."
 Expenditures during the year. Sss,. 235; available balance, July 1, S4.ss4; amount asked for during the next as- cal year, S50,000.
