NASHVILLE. Tenn, April 2S.-
Thomas Lawler, Secretary of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, this morning refused to make any
statement concerning the statement
printed yesterday that he was author
ICED by Governor Patterson to state
to Judges Beard, Neil and Shields
that II they would agree the Governor
would call a convention and guaFan-
tee to these judges their nomination.
Mr.. Lawleri reached the city this
morning, and in response to all inqui-
ries on the subject his only answer
was, 81 have no statement to make
with references to that matter just
now"
Gov. Patterson gave out statement
last night in which he said LAWYER
was not authorized to speak for him.
LAWYERS failure to corroborate the
Governor on this point has caused
much commsnt, and the public gener-
ally accept the latter's statement that
he was authorized to speak for Pat
terson. The fact that Lawler is Pat
terson's appointee and one Of his clos
est advisers leads to the inevitable
conclusion that he knew what he was
talking about when he offered to bribe
the judges. Chas. G. Trabue, who was
present when the offer was made in
an interview, states that LawIer said
he was authorized to make the deal
by Patterson.

MRS.HAMM
GIVEN DIVORCE
WIFE OF NEW YORK THEATRICAL
MANAGER GETS OUT OF
DOUBLE HARNESS.

RENO, April 27.-Mrs. Arthur Ham
merstein, wife of the New York theat
rical manager, was today granted di
vorce in Judge Pixies court on the
ground of non-support. She was also
permitted to resume her maiden name,
Jean Kent Allison. She said she did
not want to be embarrassed with her
married name, as her husband would
probably remarry in a short time, and
there are many Hammersteins in Eu'
rope, where she intends to visit.
Mrs. Hammerstein said that her hus-
band, who is the son of Oscar Ham
merstein, the impresario, told her two
years ago that he loved her no longer
and was not going to provide for her.
They were wed in Jersey City in Feb
ruary 1908, when she was but seven
teen. They have one daughter, Elaine,
fourteen. Her husband was represent
ed By counsel No alimony was asked.

TROOPS OUT To
PROTECT NEGRO

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, April 81
Mobs began forming here early to-
night, when it was announced that
Howard Harris, a negro, who is to be
tried here tomorrow for an alleged
attempted assault upon young Mrs.
button, of this county, would be
brought here shortly after midnight
from Florida. The Thomasville
Guards we're called out, and later 1t
was stated by Judge Robert G. Mitch
ell. of the Supreme Court that the
negro would not be brought here I'M
til tomorrow after which the mobs
dispersed. Judge Mitchell said that
the guards would go to Valdosta ana
meet Harris there. 1t is probable That
the Valdosta troops will be called up
on to aid in the protection Of the ne
gro should any further demonstration
be made.

CHARLES GLENN, FORMERLY OF

Charles Glenn, formerly of this

Glenn's store, and nephew of Depu-

conscious in the streets of San Fran

For some years he was with the Gray

was married less than one year ago.

TENDANCE AND MUCH
ENTHUSIASM.
PROMINENT MEN WILL SPEAE
From Every District, Hamlet and
Town the People Will Turn Out to
Regulate the State Machine and
Its Dietator-opens at Noon.

Reports from all sections of the
county indicate a large attendance at
the mass meeting Of Democrats to be
held at Columbia on next Monday at
noon for the purpose of naming dele
gates to the Nashville convention to
be held on May IS, at which time the
, reorganization of the party will take
place, the present high-handed and ar
bitrary State committee ousted from
power, and the people again given con-
troll of the party organization.
1t is doubtful If any mass conven-
ton ever called In Maury county
aroused an equal degree of interest in
advance. There is not a district or
neighborhood so remote from Colum-
bia as not to have heard of the propos-
ed movement, and everywhere the peo-
pie are stating that they viii attend
the convention in punches Every
district in the county will be repre-
scented. every city village and town.
The attempt OF Patterson to co-erce
the Supreme Court, to dominate and
control the party, his refusal to allow
the people either the privilege of max
ing the platform or of having a voice
in the appointment Of election officers,
has aroused the intensest indignation
throughout Maury county. That the
Democrats of Maury will repudiate the |
self-appointed despot and his con-
scienceless machine in the clearest |
and strongest terms on next Monday !
is certain.
The convention will be presided over
by one of the best known Democrats
in the county. a man ~ sterling worth
and marked ability, who will no doubt |
have something exceedingly interest
ing to say. There will be several
speakers, none of whom will be inclin-
ed to hedge or mince matters, and
some plain truths will be stated. Del
egates, several hundred of them, will
be selected to the Nashville conven-
ton, at which Maury county will be
and will take prominent
part

city for 1911 and New Orleans endors-

election of officers, the United Confed-

The selection of Little Rock had

lead that vote to make the selection
unanimous, carried with a roar The
vote stood: Little Rock, 1,407; Chat

Houston, none. When Texas was
reached, the veterans saw how things
we're going and threw their strength
to Arkansas.
The endorsement of New Orleans as

In a letter 70 this paper June l,
1909. in which Congressman Lamb
took us 70 task for criticizing his
vote for a tariff on lumber, which
like Banquo's ghost will not down,
he wrote: You may say 70 your
readers that I will cheerfully vote
| fol $50 per thousand feet on rough
lumber. and I hope that l shall have
the chance to do So. Yet we have
been told he said he voted for the
specific tariff of SIPS per thousand,
because that was the lowest rate he
could get. If he would "cheerfully
vote forSI.5O per thousand on rough
lumber" wouldn't his vote for say
/ s.. or 50 be cast a great deal more
! cheerfully? If tariff on lumber IS q
good thing why is not tariff on coal
