PATTERSON LEADS.

On the face Of unofficial but
practically complete returnsfrom
last Saturday primary Governor
Patterson has carried the State
by majority of 5000 votes, and
has 695 delegates against 624 for
Senator Carmack.
West Tennessee and East Ten
nessee went overwhelmingly for
Senator Carmack and Middle
Tennessee went overwhelmingly
for Governor Patterson.
Governor Patterson's majority
in the three big liquor counties
was 6,792, while in the other coun-
ties of the State Senator Carmack
received majority of about 1000.
In other words, the three large
cities, Memphis, Nashville and
Chattanooga, voted for the Gov
ernor, overcoming Senator Car
mack s lead in the rest of the State,
both in the number of delegates
end popular vote.
According to the daily papers
of Tuesday Senator Carmack car
ried'5l counties and Governor
Patterson carried As counties.
Charges of gross fraud, in Mid
die Tennessee especially, as well
as in many other portions of the
State, have been made. Charges
have been made that money and
whisky have been freely used and
that there is abundant evidence
Of illegal voting.
There has been some talk of con-
testing the election, owing to the
numerous charges of fraud, but
Senator Carmack has set this at
rest by the following statement
made at the Tulane Hotel Monday
night to reporter Of the Nash
willie TennesseanE
"Neither Mr.. Armistead nor my
self have instituted or suggested

ASSUMES BLAME
FOR THE WRECK
Captain Swanson of the Pomona
Gives Details of Disaster
to inspectors
Says He Often Followed Same
Course Without Striking
Uncharted Reef

A rigid investigation into the wreck
of the steamer Pomona, which took
place on an uncharted reef off Fort
Ross, March Il, was held yesterday
by United States Inspectors of Hulls
and Boilers John K Bulger and o. +.
Bolles. Captain Charles Swanson of the
Pomona told the inspectors that his
steamer struck an uncharted reef.
and that il was while he was running
toward the beach that he struck hard
and fast on another reef The master
of the Pomona explained the condition
OF the wind and sea on the day OF the
wreck. The captain said that he had fol-
lowed the same course many times be-
fore and had frequently gone close to
the shore in order to avoid heavy
gale such as was blowing the day of
the wreck.
Captain Swanson said that when the
steamer struck the first time it grazed
the rocks. An investigation of her hold
showed that the steamer was making
water very fast. He said his officers
and himself were of the opinion that
the steamer would sink inside of an
hour. The captain testified that his
object ia running toward the beach
was TO save the lives of his passengers
and to save the steamer if possible
The master also said that he mistook
a buoy for a channel mark instead of
a warning of danger against the sec
ond reef
Captain Swanson, First Mate Robert
z, Carey Second Mate Fred T. Hanna
and Chief Engineer John L. Clements
testified that the boilers of the steamer
were in excellent condition The wit
nesses also said that the steamer had
been as close in shore several times be-
fore in making cruises to and from
Eureka
Letters written by the passengers
were submitted. which commended the
officers and men on the Pomona for
their bravery and coolness in the face
of so great danger.
Captain Swanson said that he would
assume all responsibility for the wreck
of the Pomona and told the inspectors
that he was on the bridge at the time
Pthe steamer struck and that he had
given the courses TO the quartermaster.
The Pomona was valued at about
s250,000 and is thought TO be a total
loss. The vessel is being pounded to
pieces on the reef and it is thought
that there is no possible way of saw
ing it.

Memoranda
GRAY BROTHERS PLEAD
TO SUIT OF THE CITY
Say They Are Merely Grading
Calhoun Street on Tele-
graph Hill

The answer of Gray Brothers to the
suit begun by the city to enjoin them
from blasting down Telegraph hill is
that they have been engaged in grading
Calhoun street TO the official grade.
The answer was filed with the county
clerk yesterday. They state that as
owners of the property on the easterly
and westerly lines of Calhoun street
they were granted permission to grade
the street by the supervisors in Decem-
ber. 1905.
AS to the contention of the city that
part of Calhoun street has caved in as
a result of their blasting operations
and that other portions are liable to
cave in. all such parts. Gray Brothers
allege, are above the official grade, and
they are merely engaged in reducing
them to the official grade according to
the terms of the permit granted by the
supervisors They plead also that they
have spent $4,000 in acquiring prop
erty facing on Calhoun street

CURRY MUST ANSWER
SUIT OF MILL COMPANY
Supreme Court Grants Writ of
Mandate Against Secre-
tary of State

The supreme court yesterday granted
the petition of the Boca mill company
for writ of mandate, returnable May
4. compelling Charles f. Curry to show
cause why he has not filed the certifi-
cate of extension to the petitioners
corporate existence.
The Boca mill company was incor-
porated June 5, 1877. On October z,
1907, the directors decided to avail
themselves of the privilege granted by
a section of the civil code which al
lowed corporations to extend their ex-
istence. Z. w. Hopkins, president of
the corporation, owns 1896 of the
5000 shares capital stock, c. A. Grow
(secretary). Timothy Hopkins, Sher-
wood Hopkins and S. B. Toby one share
each. All of the directors, except Toby,
agreed to the further incorporation.
When the certificate was presented to
Curry he refused to grant the extern
sion, asserting that the section of au-
thority was unconstitutional.
