FROM AWFUL DEATH

Denver, November 9.-Mrs. Genevieve
Phpps. divorced wife of Lawrence
Phipps. a Pittsburg millionaire, today
narrowly escaped death by dynamite
at the hands of a woman unidentified
bv the police who for two days had
haunted the Phpps home and had at
last got hold of Mrs. Phipps and de-
named $4,000 under penalty of death,
immediate and horrible.
When foiled in her attempt the wom-
an cast dynamite at detectives from Mrs.
Phipps' automobile in which she had
forced her intended victim to drive her
to bank to procure the money. An
explosion was prevented because the dy-
Mantle struck a cushion of the auto
mobile. The woman was quickly placed
unier control and efforts are being made
to find some clue to her identity. She
persistently refuses to give her name
but insists that she is under the in
huence of a hypnotist and that this eN-
plains her attempt to blackmail Mrs
Phipps.

Governors Statement.

Nashville, November ESPECIAL. )-Gov-
ernor Patterson made the following
statement regarding the tragedy:
II deeply deplore the tragedy. l saw
both young Cooper and his father this
morning, and nothing occurred to cause
me to suppose any alteration would take
place with Senator Carmack, or anyone
else. Colonel Cooper had been very much
aPgrieved at the use of his name by
Senator Carmaek, and L learned that he
had prepared a note to send Senator Car
mack demanding that in future his name
not be used in editorial, as he was mere
private citizen and should not be subject
to public attack or ridicule.
L strongly advised against sending the
note, a did his son, Robin Cooper, and
also Mr.. Bradford, believing it might
cause a difficulty, and urged him to take
no notice of the Objectionable editorials.
Colonel Cooper assured me that he would
not send the note, and there would be

Holland-venezueIa ImbrooIio.

The Hague, November 9-Addressing the
second chamber this afternoon Foreign
Minister Won Swinderin explained that
the suspension of the Holland Venezu-
elan treaty OF 1894 has been ordered be-
cause President Castro had failed to
comply with the demand of the Neither
lands government that the trans-ship-
ment decree issued last summer against
Curacao be withdrawn before November
!. This, he said, left Holland free to
act and the government had cabled the
governor of Curacao that Holland con-
sidered herself freed from all obliga-
tons towards Venezuela; Furthermore,
the governor was instructed temporarily
to suspend the prohibition against the
eXpol taton of arms from Curacao TO
Venezuela.

ham Athletic club is preparing to COP
the championship of the new Southern
Basketball league recently formed.
While the league schedule begins in
December, prior to the opening of the
regular session there will be several
games of Importance.
The clubs chances of winning have
been much bettered by the return to
Birmingham for the winter of Bob
Ware and Charlie Woodruff. two PLAY
ers who formerly starred on club teams,
and later on the athletic teams of Au-
burn. Each is an excellent basket
ball performer and their participation
in the club games this season will go
far toward winning the championship
of the Southern Basketball league.
Birmingham as is known, has two
teams entered in the league. the Ath-
letic club and the Y. M. c. A. The Y.
M. c. A. too has fine chances of max
ing a ereditable showing. Its team is
i'm process of formation and is doing
regular practice.
Birmingham will see many games
during the season. The Y. M C. A. and
Athletic club will not only participate
in the games of the league, but will
have other visitors on the local scene
among the number being several of thu

ed for reelection in the primary a little
over a year ago by former Gov. Robert

Senator Carmack then resumed the
practice of law in this city, which was
then his home but within a few months
removed 10 Nashville.
Last spring he opposed Governor Patter-
son for the democratic gubernatorial NOM
nation, championing the cause of state
wide prohibition. He was defeated.
Shortly after his defeat Mr.. Carmaek

Chicago, November 9.-In an effort to
compel the National Association of Pro-
fessional Baseball Clubs to live up to its
constitution as interpreted by the Ameri-
can association, President J. D. O'Brien
of the American association will go be-
fore that body at its regular meeting to-
morrow and demand that the Southern
league and the Western association be re-
duced from Class A to Class B.
At a conference this afternoon between
officials of the Eastern league and the
American association, Mr.. O'Bren noti-
fed the other minor leaguers of the stand

to boost the Eastern and American asso-

ing is not good and he declared he knew
little of the affair. Mrs Eastman said:
Mrs. Eastman's Statement.
1--WE were walking down Seventh ave-
nue. in the direction of Church street,
and had just passed the entrance of the
Polk flats Mr.. Carmack came up the
street toward us, smiling as he recognized
me- He was some steps away and there
were few people on the street. Mr.. East
man and / were near the edge of the
sidewalk and Mr. Carmack would have
passed between us and the fence. He
raised his hat as we spoke. He had his
right hand up and was about to make a
remark when somebody said-it was the
older voice-'We've got you all right, or
something to that effect 1 can't say
positively what the exact words were. 1t
never occurred that it was anything more
than a friend speaking. Mr.. Carmack
raised his eyes, instantly put on his hat
and ran his hand back when the same
voice said You coward, you are hid
ing behind a woman, are you? Senator
Carmack jumped out so as to get clear of
me and ] jumped into gateway | saw
that Mr.. Carmack had a pistol. 1 turned
ana said: For Gods sake don't shoot ,
saw Mr.. Carmack wheel and fall in a
heap in the gutter
Mrs. Eastman said she saw the young
man standing over Mr.. Carmack and that
he put something into his pocket.
Laps G. McCord, Jr., city editor of the
Tennessean, is quoted as saying that "sev-
eral friends of the senator had advised
him to be careful and to all of these
admonitions the senator replied that he
did not intend to show the white
feather
Mr.. McCord also said that in replying to
these admonltions Mr. Carmack had re-
marked that he did not think Colonel
Cooper intended to harm him.
Colonel Cooper was one of the early
friends of Governor Patterson in his con-
, test against John I. Cox. close per-
sonai attachment was then formed be-
tween Governor Patterson and Colonel
Cooper and Colonel Cooper is regarded as
the governors closest political adviser.
Colonel Cooper owns a large farm near
the city on the Porter turnpike.

S0Yehead of Baseball
Aims At Southern League

Citations to a classification one degree
higher than all other minor leagues in
the country.
Owing to a promise made to the Pa
cific Coast league at the time it was
brought into the organized fold, the
American will recommend that the Coast
league be permitted to maintain an equal
ity with the Eastern and the American
until the present national agreement ex-
pires two years hence.
Mr.. O'Brien notified President Powers
of the Eastern league that he would OPP
pose any further effort to provide an IA
class for the Eastern and the American,
as that would involve a change of the
national agreement, and on that propo-
sition they had already been beaten.

Columbia Is Aroused,

Chattanooga, November "a special
dispatch to the Times from Columbia,
the boyhood home of ex-senator Car
mack, says that the people of that city
were sh ocked beyond measure at the
news of the killing of Mr.. Carmack in
Nashville. Business has been suspended
and will not be resumed until after the
funeral. There is bitter denunciation
of the Coopers, both of whom are well
known there, Columbia being the boy
hood home of Duncan Cooper. Many
threats were made but on the whole
the people received the news more in
grief than in anger. The dispatch adds:
1T seems the general sentiment here
that the killing was instigated by the
political forces which were dominant in
Tennessee and there are many who are
tonight expressing the opinion that it
will promote the passage of temper
ance legislation"

Carmack's Senatorial Career.

Washington, November 9.-Senator
Carmack, who was killed on street in
Nashville today, is well remembered in
Washington, where he served in the
both houses of Congress. During his
senatorial career from 1901 to 1907, ne
made number of brilliant speeches.
Although inclined to be sarcastic in
some Of mis- utterances, he had many
friends in Congress, among democrats
and republicans who admired his fear
lessness and his intellectual attain
ments.
Perhaps the most notable speech dur
ing mis- four years in the lower house
was his brilliant effort In his own de-

tested Carmacks seat. During his con-
gressional career. he constantly at

While Georgia and Tech. will not
meet this season, Georgia has an ex-
cellent chance of winning out over the
comparative score route. Tennessee
made a better showing against Georgia
than against Tech, but if Georgia can
defeat Alabama by a larger score than
Tech. did, then Georgia will win, for
it is a certainty that Georgia will hold
Auburn to a lower score than Tech.
There is much local interest in the
game Georgia's team will average
only 1856 but the men are fast and well
coached.
