Christmas for convicts.

Christmas will be a gala day for the 2500 convicts of the state stationed at the various camps of servitude. J. Craig Smith, president of the convict depart ment, and Chief Clerk Trawick have laid in store of dellcacies that will bring good cheer and somewhat of happiness to those who are not in the fortunate 37 re- leased by the clemency of the governor to get home for the festivities.
 The camp at Wetumpka may be taken as an illustration of the intentions of the officers. MT. Trawick bought for the 250 prisoners there the following: Three boxes of orances, 3 barrels of apples, 125 pounds of candy, and a great quantity of nuts. The same ratio of purchases Is maintained at the following other pris- one: Speigners, No. 4, Dolve, Lucille. Lowery, River Falls, Pera, Robertsdale, Flat Top, Pratt City, Sanford and Rich burg. These include the mine camps as we'll as the lumber mills and turpentine stills.
 No work will be allowed on Christmas day. Women will be invited in and dane- ing and festivities of this and other kinds will be made a part of the good times. The department has seen to 1t that on to Men, there shall be. as nearly as possible, forgetfulness of crime and pris- ons and servltude and remembrance only of the fact that men are created good and charitable and religious, ready to aid those in trouble when their cases are brought to their attention.

Jas. Mccormick
Did Not Dodge
Right Way.
RAN OVER HAND
Driver Of Car Saw FIagmau
Crossing Street. and Tried
TO Avoid Accident But The
Unexpected Happened
Injuries Net Serious.

James Mccormick, the fagman al
the Market street crossing of the
Central railroad, was run over by
Ezra Sweets Rambler automobile at
Madison avenue and Fayette street,
shortly after $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and badly injured al
though no serious results are ex-
pected.
Mr.. Sweet told the following story
of the accident: Il left my hotel on
New Brunswick avenue to 60 home
in the machine. AS | turned into
Madison avenue | blew the horn for
a crowd of children. | also noticed
a man, who was about to cross at
Madison avenue and Fayette street. |
blew the horn for him and when he
saw the machine, he stopped. Thera
was plenty of room for me to pass
him on either side, as l was running
on the low gear, about four miles
an hour. First | turned to go be-
hind him, and as I did so, he stepped
backward / then turned the wheel
to pass him in 'front.' thinking that
he meant for me to do so. To my
surprise, when ! was only a foot or
two from him, he took a step for-
ward, right in the path of the ma
chine.
Although : threw on the brakes.
he was knocked down and one of the
wheels, think passed over his hand.
You can see how quickly ! stopped,
as we had to remove him from under
the machine. Witnesses of the ac-
cident will confirm my statements.
The accident was similar to two peo-
pie trying to pass each other on this
sidewalk, and becoming confuseds
finally run into each other"
Bruised and cut and in a senni-ln-
conscious state the injured man was
placed in the machine and hurried
to DR.. M. S. Meinzer's Office where
he was given medical attention. The
doctor found no bones broken, al
though one of Mr.. Mccormick s hands
was badly hurt. 1t is believed that
one of the wheels of the auto, which
weighs over 1,500 pounds, passed
over it. He also had a bad wound
on the back of the head, which was
probably caused by contact with the
apron underneath the car.
In the meantime the ambulance
was called, and removed Mr.. McCor-
mick, who is an elderly man, to his
home at Broad and Commerce
streets. Mr.. Sweets daughter called
on the injured man this morning, and
says that he was able to be around
his wounds are painful.
The report that a man had been
run over and killed drew a large
crowd to the scene.

FORT AT STATE SCHOOLS
Tells Trenton Pupils of the Value
OF Education.

Trenton, June 6:-Governor Fort
yesterday addressed students of the
State Normal and Model Schools, this
city.
The governor took for his subject
the value of education and what the
state of New Jersey is doing for it's
public school system. He said, among
other things, that New Jersey will
this year spend $4,000, 900 for edu-
cation, and promised that he would
do everything In his power to In
crease the efficiency of the school
system of the state.
To the teachers of the future he
said he wished it was in his power
to insure them better salaries than
are now being paid, but he urged
them not to pay attention alone to
the amount of money they could
make, declaring that their calling
was one of high ideals not rewarded
with gold alone.

KEAN TO OPPOSE FORT.
Both Want to Lead New Jersey Dele

Trenton, June 6:-The contest be-
tween United States Senator John
Kean and Governor Fort for the
craftsmanship of the New Jersey dele
cation to the republican national
convention has reached an acute
stage. Mr.. Fort, 1t is said, wants the
honor because the delegates from
many Of the other states have chosen
their governors as chairmen, and he
feels that the governor OF New Jersey
is entitled to the same prestige. Mr.
Kean, however, says that the place
belongs to him as the senior senator
from New Jersey, and he is going to
ankle a fight for 1t. The chairman
will be chosen at dinner given by
DR.. Leslie Ward to the delegates
when they reach Chicago.

MORE VOTES
GO TO TAFT
Alabama and Arkansas Contests
Are Decided in His Favor He
Will be Named First.
SETTLE MANAGER DISPUTE

Chicago, June g. - The Taft band
wagon rolled over the allies when the
Republican national committee decided
the contests from Alabama and Arkan-
sas, involving twenty-four seats in the
national convention, in favor of the
delegates instructed for Secretary Taft
The Taft forces won the victory in
sweeping style. A viva voce vote was
so decisive that roll call was unnec-
essary and was not even asked for by
the anti-Tafters.
The seating Of the Taft delegates
from Alabama was deemed of the
greatest Importance not only because
Of the twenty-five votes it means for
Taft, but also because of the moral
effect on the convention of having the
first state on the roll call in favor of
the secretary of war
The loss of Alabama to the allies is
of great Importance not only for the
reason that it would have given the
allies the moral effect of an initial
nomination in opposition to Taft, but
for the weightier reason that the Ala
bama contest was regarded as the
strongest legally of all the contests
which the national committee is to
decide.
Other States Next.
In losing Alabama the allies have, it
is declared, abandoned all hope of sue
cess in the other contests. The COM
mittee will next decide contests from
Florida, Georgia and Kentucky, the
total number Of seats affected being
thirty four.
The proceedings would have been
devoid of interest had 1t not been for
an effort to prevent Frank II. Hitch
cock, the Taft manager, and Arthur r.
Statter, former assistant secretary of
the treasury, and Charles G.. Phelps of
Washington, both assistants to Mr..
Hitchcock, from sitting in judgment on
the contests. These men held proxies
of the members of the national COM
mittee from New Mexico, Alaska and
North Dakota respectively. Their en-
trance into the executive session of the
national committee provoked Joseph
B. Healing, United States attorney for
the district of Indiana, manager for
Vice President Fairbanks, and Repre-
James Francis Burke of
Pennsylvania, who acts in similar
for Senator Knox, to make
vehement protests from the outside.
After debating the question the pro-
test was laid on the table.
