CHILD VICTIM
OF A ROOSTER
FIFTEEN MONTHS OLD CHILD Is
SPURRED ON HEAD BY
FOWL.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 5.-Max
Crockett Jr., the tifteen-months-old
son Of Max Crockett, Of Lewisburg,
Tenn. was the victim of an accident
of a most peculiar character last
week, the child dying Saturday night
as a result of it. While playing in
the yard of his uncle, c. H. Crockett,
who lives at 217 Watson street the
child fell and was badly spurred on
the head by large Brahma rooster.
The little boy, in company with
daughter of Mr.. Crockett, was play
ing with the chickens at the time the
accident happened. The rooster had
never been known to attack any OF
the children before. but as soon as
little Max fell to the ground, he
Jumped upon him and v1c1ously
snurred him on the head, breaking two
of the bones of the skull. Little was
thought of the accident at the time,
/ it happening last Monday. A phys1-
clan was summoned and the wound
was washed with antiseptic. Later in
the week the child grew rapidly worse,
going into commissions Friday night.
Saturday morning an operation was
performed, but it was too late to save
the boys life, as he died Saturday
night Mr. Crockett, the childs faith
err, with his wife and family, was on
visit to his brother at the time OF
his sons death. The remains were
taken to Lewisburg for burial.

WILL NOT ACCEPT.
Or. Hunter Won't Serve on LILLY
White" Committee.

To the Editor of The Herald;
With feeling commingled with
deem regret and perfect satisfaction, |
noted in yesterdays Herald that my
name was attached to the list OF
Lilly Whites, who met at the Court
House Yesterday. Regret in that my
motives have been so obstuce that
they could in the least be miscon-
strued and thus associate me with the
lilly Whites-satisfact in that |
am not only permitted but fully able
to answer for myself: I was not at
that meeting either in person or
proxy.
Before that memorable meeting at
the Court House, March 3rd, |
worked day and night in the interest
of the Gregory side of the house But
when Mr. Ruhm called for white he
rublicans to go with him and organize
white mans convention, that pre-
cluded anyone that has one sclntiila
of negro blood in him.
7 am a negro--proud of the negro
race and its well doing-sorroWful
and Inundated because of its wrong
doings. At no time have in anyway
either attempted or desired to be-
come identified Except in business
wayl with any race except my own
some Of those who assembled in that
meeting yesterday Judging only from
the list of names published in yester-
DAYS Herald) are among my staunch-
est friends-they have proved them-
selves so-yet we differ politically.
THAT does not mean that agree
with that other convention-for all OF
Them from the county and congress
sional to the state convention were
a shameful bosh so far as the negro
e. concerned. All negroes ought 10
stay in their own race socially, pun
together for their elevation spiritual
" morally, Intellectually and fnan-
cially, look well to their future IN
terest politically and learn to keep
their obligations. have no time 10
stand around on the streets and as
cnss other peoples business am
irving to support my family and 10
contribute my full quota toward the
betterment OF mankind.
Very truly,
G. O. HUNTER, NJ. d.

FAKE SPECIAL ON
CARMACK NAILED
EVANGELIST SAYS HE is WITH
MR.. cARMAck IN HIS
FIGHT.

HUMBOLDT, Tenn, May 81 90
+ardav,e issue Of the Memphis COM
,,arcia1 Anpeal contained a speclal
acted huntington, Tenn, stating that
Evangelist J. Bennett, who mas JUST
o1osod a series of meetings in that
town took occasion in one OF his ser
mons to give Senator Carmack Sc
uoro orraignment for inconsistency In
bie stand for prohibition 1t so nap
mems that the Rev Mr.. Bennett began
q nrotracted meeting here on yester-
dov and YOUR correspondent inter-
viewed him regarding the report from
Huntingdon.
He said: Il wish to state that that
statement is absolutely false, as nrm-
" believe in Carmack's position on
the whisky question and wish MIN
success in his campaign. AS for my
self am strictly for temperance
Evangelist Bennett said the report
probably grew out Of misunderstood
inc of his deprecating the "piihu
tiqers" which were being run IN Hunt
inedon, and which could and shoulu
be stopped but that he did not u
rectly or indirectly refer to senator
Carmack during his meeting IN Hunt

PUBLICANS IN
A BAD TANGLE
VREELANo's NEW CURRENCY
BILL Is PUT TO SLEEP BY
THE COMMITTEE.
MATTER PUT TO CONFERENCE
confab of Majority Tonight Will
Tackle the Question.-Ths
Situation.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the Committee
on Banking and Currency today voted
to table the new Vreeland financial
bill, the impression prevails among
many members that the measure will
be adopted at the conference of Re-
publican members of the House to be
held tomorrow night. The vote in
the Committee by which the bill was
tabled was Is TO 3, Messrs. Weeks,
Burton and Mckinney voting in the
negative. The Committee adopted a
resolution offered by Mr.. Waldo, of
New York, requesting that suitable
time be given. week if possible, for
the discussion in the House of all
pending currency measures. Chair
man Fowler was authorized to lay this
request before Speaker Cannon.
During the afternoon strong efforts
were made to reach compromise on
the financial question and the PROPOSE
llOn 1uNOCdlCu SUING lAlllC dSO ny 4bC-
publican Floor Leader Payne was Ia
ken up by Chairman Fowler and other
members of the Committee as the
basis for an agreement. This propo-
sition allows any National banking as
ISOLATION which had circulating notes
outstanding secured by deposit of Uni
ted States bonds to an amount equal
to it's capital stock actually paid in, to
take out additional circulation upon de-
posting United States bonds or GER
tificates of indebtedness authorized
during the Spanish-American war.
The proposition was acceptable to
some of the House leaders and also to
members of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee. 1t was at first
thought by offering this proposition as
an amendment to the Fowler currency
commission bill the conference which
has been called for tomorrow night
could be obviated.
When the plan was laid before
Speaker Cannon, together with the
request of the Committee for a weeks
debate, he informed Chairman Fow-
Ter that he had no authority either to
call off the conference or to grant the
| time for debate asked for. He stated
| that more than a sufficient number of
Republicans had signed the call for
the conference and that it was for
the conference to determine what
measure should be decided upon. He
gave it as his opinion that the mem
bers would not care to stay here an
additional week listening to the finan-
cial discussion.
When the decision of the Speaker
become known members of the Bank
! ing Committee held numerous confer
ences and it was decided that the
Payne proposition as an addenda to
the currency commission bill should
be offered at the conference Of Repub"
lican members tomorrow night,

people comprising the eight families
living in the house were asleep.
The Abrams family lived on the
third floor. The flames swept through
their apartments, so that the only
way of escape was by jumping from
the windows Charles Abrams and
his sister, Anna did this. but both
struck an iron railing and were dead
