SMITH COUNTY CERTAIN.
Oscar Mcfarland Says Bailey Is to Be
ReB uRed May Second.

Tyler, Texas, April S.-The Hous-
ton Chronicle reporter yesterday in,
quired of. Oscar Mcfarland, chairman
of the Smith County Democratic Club
what he thought of conditions in this
county, and he said: 'Bailey's follow,
ers in this county are becoming badly
demoralized, and are on the run. Fri
day when it was announced that Hon.
w. M. Imboden would speak at Lin
dale Saturday and at Tyler that night,
we requested T. N. Jones, member of
the Bailey state campaign committee,
to divide time with us at these ap-
pointments, but he promptly declined
to do so. The conservative voter is
beginning to suspect that something
is wrong with cause that won't bear
the searchlight of joint discussion,
and many of the conservative Bailey
followers are becoming lukewarm
L have late reports from every pre-.
cinct in the county, and | am assured
that in some of the precincts that Bal,
ley's ticket will not get a single vote,
and we will carry every one of the
26 precincts in the county by a good
majority, and if we poll $500, the
number voted in the last primary
Cone Johnson and the rest of the
Waco ticket will get 1000 majority in
Smith county. The democratic voters
of Smith county will rebuke the as.
saults of Bailey and others on Cone
Johnson by the greatest majority ever
given in democratic primary in this
county"

HON. JED ADAMS SPOKE
Small Audience Heard Speaker at the
City Hall In a Lame Apology
For the Senator.

Hon. Jed Adams spoke at the city
hall last night to small audience
GAO by actual COUNT, in the interest
of Senator Joe Bailey's candidacy for
delegate to the Denver democratic
convention. Mr. Adams is also can,
didate on the Bailey ticket.
Preceding the speaking collection
was taken up and the amount of $35
was subscribed to the 500 pledged
to the Bailey campaign fund by Mr..
C. M. Kay at the Fort Worth meeting.
Mr.. Kay then introduced the speak
err, apologizing for the small attend
ance by stating that other attractions
in the city had kept the people away.
After committees were announced to
meet Senator Bailey, who will arrive
here on the evening of the 10th, a
committee was also named to wait on
the railroad officials to ask for a
holiday for the employees, that they
may hear Mr.. Bailey. On the stage
were Col. Geo. A Wright, Messrs.
Kay, Barrett and Ketcham.

THE TAFT men ARE BUSY
Republican State Convention of Mas.
sachusetts Excites Lively In
test Among Party.

Special to the Herald.
Boston, Mass, April 9.-Seldom in
recent years has a republican state
convention in Massachusetts excited a
more lively interest than the conven-
ton which will be called to order in
fremont Temple tomorrow for
the selection of delegates at large to
the natinoal convention in Chicago.
If the Taft men carry out their pro-
gram of pressing the convention for
IN instructed delegation there is GER
tain to be a heated contest. The re-
cent caucuses showed that the sup
porters of the secretary of war will
be in the majority in the convention,
but it is hardly believed that their
numerical strength will be sufficient
to secure Taft instructions. Many of
the party leaders who acknowledge
their preference for Taft as the presi-
dent candidate are at the same time
opposed to pledging the delegates
from Massachusetts to vote for him.

FORTY.THREE YEARS AGO
Today General U. S. Grant Received
the Surrender of the Army of
Northern Virginia.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., April 9.-Forty-
three years ago today, which in 1865
fell on a Sunday, General U. S. Grant
received the surrender of the Army of
Northern Virginia from General Robt.
E. Lee at Appomattox Courthouse, Va
The surrender marked the end of
the civil war and the fall of the Con-
federacy. The South was exhausted,
and Lee, his forces reduced by fight
ing, hunger and disease, and sur
rounded by overwhelming numbers,
had no alternative but to yield This
he did in way to win the respect of
his opponents and the admiration of
the world He was consistent as a
soldied to the last, and though given
an opportunity by Grant to conduct
Negotiations for surrender through his
officers, he did not put the unpleasant
duty on others, but faced his conquer
or himself.
The scenes of the surrender have
been often described, with varying de-
grees of accuracy. The accounts
which history has accepted as accu-
rate come from officers who attended
the two chief actors in the closing
scene of this greatest of modern trag-
edies of war. Nearly all of those who
took a prominent part in the epoch
making event at Appamattox have
passed away. One of the very few
survivors is General Joshua L. Cham
berlain of Massachusetts, who COM
manded the parade of Union troops
at the surrender of General Lee.

Mr.. Adams spoke for about one
hour, and his speech was in the main
uninteresting, devoid of ginger, and
free from any Illusion to the real is
sue of the campaign. Mr.. Adams was
| rather apologetic for the senator. He
admitted Mr.. Bailey had relations
i with Mr.. Pierce, and that he got the
money, but insisted that Mr. Bailey
was good and true man, and had
served his people well. He said en-
emies of the democratic party were
attempting to destroy him.
The crowd began to file out before
the speaker had finished, and apollo
giving for keeping the audience so
long, he closed.
There was but little enthusiasm
displayed.
A good percentage of those there
were anti-Baileyites.

WILL DIE ON sCAFFOLD
Leo. c. Thurman Has Remarkable
Record-Four Times In the
Shadow of the GalloWs.
Special to the Herald.

special TO the 1GTdlQ.
Norfolk, Va, April 9.-Four times in
the shadow of the gallows and three
times saved by a respite is the re-
markable record in the case of Leo. c.
Thurman, who will die on the scaffold
here tomorrow unless Governor Swan
son interposes for the fourth time.
Thurman was first sentenced to be
hanged last September, but was saved
by an appeal to the supreme court.
The higher court declined to interfere
in the case, whereupon the young man
was sentenced to pay the death penal
ty on March Is last. A stay of two
weeks was granted to permit the con-
demned man to finish book he was
writing, the proceeds of which were
to go to his mother. On March 81,
within a few hours of the time set for
the execution, another respite was an
nounced over the long distance tele-
phone from Governor Swanson's office
in Richmond. The last stay, which
expires tomorrow, was granted at the
personal request of Governor Wilson
of Kentucky, who asked it that Thur
mans brother might have an oppor-
tunity to obtain further evidence.
Thurmans crime was the murder
here in February, 1906, of Walter P.
Dolsen of Michigan Both the murder
er and his victim had been in the U.
S. marine corps and were discharged
fore the crime. The two became
friends and occupied the same room in
a lodging house in East Main street,
where the murder was committed.
Thurman was practically penniless,
while Dolsen had several hundred dol
lars which he had saved from his pay
and which he intended to take home
with him to Michigan. While Dolsen
slept one night Thurman chopped the
defenseless man to pieces with an
axe, robbed him, packed the body in
trunk and made it ready for shipment
Though the crime was discovered
almost Immediately, the murderer
eluded the police and left the city
After wandering across the continent
he was finally located in Vancouver,
where he was arrested for passing

couver police as the man wanted for

One OF the insurgents expressed him

said he believed there would be no
opposition to it at the republican eau
Gus, and that the amendment would
provide for one day each week for,

timistic claim this is all that is tleces-

enable committee to get before the
house all important bills of various
kinds and would relieve the speaker of
the liability to charges Of preventing
legislation which was demanded by the
people.

islature will meet In joint session to
elect a senator for the term beginning

BoMBARDs CITY FROM AIR.

knabenshue Attacks Los Angeles at
Night With Paper Bombs.
Los Angeles, Dec. 1a.-Roy Knaben-
shue the aeronaut, attacked" Los An
geles in his airship and demonstrated
how easy it would be for a hostile air
craft to wreck this city or any other
in the country.
The attack" was made in the
dark. The newspapers had announced
that the attack would be made and
many persons were on the streets to
see if they could catch sight of the
invader.
Knabenshue was armed with bombs
paper bags full of confetti-which he
dropped on the heads of thousands
peeriyg thru the darkness. Ony once
was his presence made known before
the bombs were exploded on the crowds
about the city hall. That was when
Knabenshue, sailing just above the tops
of the buildings Of the business part
of town, turned a miniature searchlight
on the crowd.
The city hall was Knabenshue's OBJ
jective point. He had secured permis-
sion from the police department to at
tack the building as an experiment and
to drop fireworks bombs, but he readily
compromised by using confetti when
the fireworks were objected to.
The start was made shortly after 10
o'clock. The big airship sailed easily
away and was lost in the darkness. A
heavy wind was blowing and rain was
threatening. The darkness made the
night an ideal one for the "attack."
About twenty minutes after the start
was made, the first bomb was dropped
near the city hail. Pedestrians on
Broadway were amazed and looked to
see whence came the confetti. They
could see no sign of the airship and in
la few minutes another bomb was
dropped.
After blowing up" the city hall
and the greater part Of the business
section of the city, Knabenshue made a
