that in the nominating convention
the representative of the $4,000
democrats who voted in the prima-
ries for Brown were reduced to
silence" by the convention rules;
and that then the representatives of
$4,000 who voted for Smith were
"subdued by these new rules into a
state of speeches. imbecility."
Il recently had a conference with
j. R. Smith and appealed to him to
serve in the work and help prevent
this one-man power, and he agreed.
l also called up Clark Howell to
stiffen his back and let The Consti
tuition be the organ of the cam
paign.'
Soon after Mr.. Watson had begun
speaking a loud knock was heard
at the rear stage door from some
one who desired entrance, the door
having been closed as soon as he be-
gun his address. While the door
keeper was on his way to answer the
knock it was repeated, and Mr.. Wat
son, pausino, said: Il am not
afraid of Lon Livingstons crowd.
I told them this morning that there
would be trouble if they came here
tonight" Here he was met with
loud cheers and cries of We'll back
you, Tom"
Told This Man to Get Out.
While Mr.. Watson was in the
midst of his attack on the various
leaders of the opposition during the
recent campaign some one sitting
in box close to the stage called
out: How about Tom Hardwick?"
IN tell you about him in a sec
ond," retorted the speaker. 1--WE
want to hear about him now" came
back, whereupon Mr.. Watson re-
quested him to leave the house.
IF you are gentleman you will
get out he said You are in my
house and any man who has been
raised right will either keep quiet
or get out. You insult me and my
guests, the ladies and gentlemen
whom 1 have invited here.
Sacrificed Himself at Other Meeting.
Here a slight commotion was
started among the friends of the
speaker, and he demanded that they
keep quiet. In dealing with his
former effort to speak at the audi
forum several weeks ago he said:
Il sacrificed myself for the sake
of the ladies and children who were
present that night He said that
Hardwick, McCord and Smith were
the instigators of the effort made to
drown his speech. 'Hardwick had
his crowd to the left and McCord
had the crowd on the right and Hoke
Smith was back of it all. They
started the disturbance in the hope
that some one might fire a shot and
start stampede, and that 1 might
be shot or knitted in the riot. It
was my desire to avoid any injury
to the women and children who were
present that made me sacrifice my
self and come down from the stand
if Hoke Smith, James R. Gray and
Tom Hardwick kill me my friends
will kill them.
'"They Said He Was Crazy"
Then Mr.. Watson said something
to show he was not ignorant of a
statement that is being made about
the state that he is crazy

forth for new lands they said he

with a smile. He used to have
some sense, but he's gone crazy

Is Like in Tennessee.


The situation in Georgia bears
a striking resemblance to that which
existed in Tennessee just before
Carmack was killed. They won't
find a Carmack in me. The man
who knows the story Of Carmack
and Goebel and who doesn't take
proper precautions will die the death
of a fool. If Carmack had stood on
the court house steps and declared
that the governor and Cooper were
conspiring to take his life they
would have said: He is crazy But

His Return to the Democratic Party.
People have said l came back

it, but l didn't. [ came back at the
psychological moment when real
democrats wanted me. I came back
at the time when it was possible
for the first time in twenty years to
get rid of old Lon Livingston and
pussy-foot Bill Howard. There are
others, too. I'm just beginning to
get my hand in. The people are
turning out"
He exhibited the famous letter to
j. G. Green which Hoke Smith had
denied signing, and Watson insisted
Hoke Smith had signed it. Would
you vote for a governor who DELHI
erately lied?" he asked. More
cheers came from his friends. Mr.
Watson declared that the disfran-
chisement law had already disfran-
chised 100000 white men and given
the franchise to 1900 negroes. He
closed his address with the state
ment that he would fight on for the
people, and his life would not end
until the fight was won.

PERSEVERANCE OF CHILD

Philadelphia.-SiX year-old Arthur
Greer, son of Policeman Samuel
Greer of Thomas avenue, Bryn Mawr,
is hero among the kids of the Main
Line town. He's the only youngster
among them who can boast of shak-
ing hands with President Taft.
Perseverance brought him the hon
or. and the achievement was one of
the human interest incidents at the
Bryn Mawr college commencement
exercises. When the crush of grown
ups about the station prevented him
from seeing the president upon his
arrival the boy pleaded with his
father, a guard at the colleg ga'cs
to let him inside the grounds till he
"got one look at Mr.. Taft.
Working his way through the
crowd, he finally reached the steps OF
Taylor hall, where the president and
Miss Thomas, head of the college
stood while the students marched to
the library.
"Say, mister won't you please tell
me which is the PRESIDENT" An eld-

EGYPT STIRRED BY GOSPEL
OF BITTER HATRED

Cairo.-A story is being published
by the leading nationalist organs here
to the effect that the Copts are con-
spring to create a demonstration
against the Arabs, and that a deputa-
tion of Copts is preparing to leave
Cairo for England to lay their case
before his majesty's government.
The latter step is certainly a very
necessary one, and II is a pity that
it has not yet been carried out, as it
would certainly allow the authorities
at home to understand more fully the
criminal work that is. being actively
pursued by the nationalists.
Their statement that the Copts are
busy plotting a conspiracy against
the Arabs is a most serious matter
indeed, as besides being utterly with
out foundation. it produces a very
strong feeling of uneasiness in the
country and paralyzes business to
some extent
Such articles can only lead to the
growth of the ill-feeling at present
prevailing between the Christians and
Moslems and may ultimately lead to
bloodshed in the streets. Indeed, it
looks very much as if that We're the
object of the natiOnalists. They ought
To be brought to book before the au-
thOrities.
The Copts-that is, the Christians
are being accused of fantastic
plan for massacring the Arabs, and
the latter are obliged, merely as a
matter of self-defense, to strike first
to avoid being struck themselves. The
extreme nationalists are equal to the
perpetration of any crime; they are
gaining ground daily and they OBJ
tain the sympathy of the Egyptian
cabinet, particularly as the prime
minister himself is a nationalist.
1t looks, therefore, very much as
if the day was approaching when the
British authorities in this country to
save their own position and the lives
| Of the Christians in general, vii have
to take very decided action.

SUICIDES OF SCHOOL
BOYS ARE COMMON

Vienna.--Suicides Of boys who have
failed to pass their. examinations on
the day Of the distribution of the half
yearly certificates in the schools have
become so increasingly common that
the minister of education has become
seriously alarmed.
A boys failure to pass his exami-
nation always suggests failure to pass
the final matriculation, which means
that the boy is forced to perform the
fun term of three years military SER
vice. Rather than face their parents
after failure many boys go out into
the country and shoot themselves.
An inquiry opened by the minister
has resulted in orders being issued
for the relaxation of the strain in the
schools. TWO half holidays are to be
granted each week to be devoted to
games, rowing and shooting being
specially recommended.

EARL MARSHAL GETS
THANKS FROM THE KING

London.-King George has written
to the Duke of Norfolk thanking him
warmly for the splendid manned in
which the arrangements for the late
kings funeral were carried out.
AS Earl Marshal the Duke has had
much arduous work to perform dur
ing the past few years. The funeral
of Queen Victoria and the corona
ton and death of King Edward en-
tailed an enormous amount of detail
ed labor and responsibility, and be-
fore very long the duke will be busy
with the coronation of King George
"
Many people wondered what the lit
tie wand was which the duke carried
at the funeral. It was William the
COnqueror who invented the heredit-
ary title of Earl Marshal which the
Dukes of Norfolk have borne for CEN
turtles, and that king directed that
"'the heirs of the body of the Earl
Marshal when in his presence and
at all other times should bear and
carry a rod of gold, tipped at each
end with black enamel and bearing
the royal arms at the upper end and
the arms of the Earl Marshal at the
lower end
The Duke Of Norfolk looks stern
and naughty enough, in spite of the
uutidiness of his bushy black beard
when he appears on great occasions
of state, but in private life he is one
of the esimplest of men. For years
after his first wife died, leaving him
a son who was not only an imbecilt
but totally blind the duke cared fol
nothing but his frail youth, who
happily died before he came to man
hood. In those days the duke shun'
ned society, dressed like a tramp ant
lived in lonely state at Arundel cas-
tie.
Now all is changed. The duke''
second wife, herself the daughter o.
another great Roman Catholic noble
man-Lord Herries-presented hin
with a son and daughter and the duke
looks years younger.

state federation of labor is in ses-

the federation will decide to call a

an extreme measure on the part of

SCHUMANN-HE|NK
SANG TOO LITTLE

Madame Schumann-Heink sang
before a swell audience at the Au,
ditOrium last night. She didn't
sing very long-it wasn't quite 10
o'clock. when she bowed and final
ly left the stage. She was tired
out with her trip through the
flooded sections of the northwest
The writer heard the great
singer in California several years
ago. Last night she appeared to
him to have become an even
stronger personality. Somehow
she seems more cultivated, as the
saying goes, and to have an even
greater command over herself. AS
far as he was able to Judge, how
ever, her voice has not improved;
but then, that would be hard
thing to do to any greater degree,
as far as art is concerned.
The audience was disappointed
that she did not sing longer. Her
middle and low notes are. her
best, and her baby song was en-
trancing.
