LEE TO BEGIN CAMPAIGN.
Opening Gun of Maryland Fight

Opening Gun of Maryland Fight to
BE at HyattsvtIIe.
The Maryland political situation is at
this time arousing considerable interest,
as this Year for the first time the State
primary election law will be given an
initial trial The primary election will
be held on August %, when both the
Democratic and Republican parties will
choose candidates for governor and other
State and county offices.
In the Democratic party, State Sena-
tor Blair Lee is at present the only an
nounced candidate for governor, but the
next few days will likely see the entry
of Gov. Crothers and possibly State Sem
ator German.
Blair Lee has flooded the State with
literature descriptive Of his record and
what he stands for, and will begin on
Monday evening, July IT, at Hyattsville,
his stump-speaking tour of the State.
Hyattsville is the largest town in
Southern Maryland, where Lee is spe-
cially strong, and his friends predict that
he can easily carry Southern and West
ern Maryland, with a good chance. to
carry a part Of Baltimore City.
The Republicans have not definitely
agreed upon a candidate for governor,
but the probability is that there will
not be a contest in their party for the
position when the primary is held. -

MRS. LOMAX GIVEN
RESPITE BY COURT
Stay of Execution Until the
Fall Is Granted.

On application Of counsel for Matte
Lomax, the negro under sentence to be
hanged July 81 next for the killing OF her
husband, Justice Wright, who imposed
the sentence. will postpone execution
early next week to a date later in the
fall.
This action will give the District Court
Of Appeals, which does not convene until
October, an opportunity to hear the ap-
zeal taken from conviction in the Crlmi-
nal Court. AS the appellate court is in
recess and stay OF execution cannot be
obtained, Justice Wright has decided to
grant the time needed.
The application for the stay was made
by Attorneys John Ridout, S. D. Truitt.
and Campbell Darlington, who defend
ed the woman.
This case has attracted considerable at
tention throughout the country, as Mat
tie Lomax would be, II executed, the
first woman hanged in the District since
Mrs. Surratt paid the penalty on the
gallows for completely in the assassina-
ton of Lincoln. The colored population
OF this city. under the leadership OF
Rev. DIR. Simon Drew. has taken active
steps in the Lomax case and aroused
public interest in her behalf. Petitions
to the President to commute her SEN
tence to life Imprisonment are being cir
culated in all the colored churches, and
also are being signed by numerous white
people.
Representative Caleb Powers, OF Ken
lucky, who has delivered speeches dur
ing the last few weeks from the pull
pits of several churches against hanging
the woman. does not believe in convIc-
ton on circumstantial evidence. He has
introduced a bill in Congress to do away
with capital punishment IN the District.

|ATWOOD'S MOTHER PROUD

WIitehaired Woman Of Past Fifty, with Tone of Quiet

A gentle white-haired woman Of past

all the pride Of mother for the wonder
full Accomplishments of her son. such
is the mother of Harry N. Atwood, the
young aviator, who yesterday afternoon

received the Washington Aero Cluo
medal from the hands OF President Tart.
At the Willard Hotel last night to a re-
porter for The Washington Herald, Mrs
Atwood simply and without even
pardonable tinge Of arrogance. told how
it felt to be the mother OF the man who
was honored by the President for flight
unprecedented in history.
''In all sincerity" said Mrs. Atwood.
at was the proudest moment Of my life.
The anxiety 1 have felt for my son in his
many flights was amply repaid to-day
when he sailed into the White House
grounds. Since have been in Washing
ton nothing but kindness and attention
has been showered upon me, but the
flight this afternoon was the climax. /

are gratifed at my sons success.
Right to BE Proud.

Harry landed this afternoon. Probably
some one standing near heard me and
It has been reported. However, It was
only what every mother would say under
the circumstances. / feel that I have
slight claim to be proud of my son as
every mother would be under the cir
cumstances. It is all his fame, never
theless, and no portion do I take unto

Mrs Atwood was asked II she made
any objection to her sons tendency to-
ward aviation.
''Well, I did at the start, you see"
she said. I'VE were worried over the
dangers OF the sport. You know. there
are so many things that can happen
and so many have already been killed.
1t was only every mothers anxiety for
her sons safety that felt. Later,
though, when he demonstrated his con-
troll over the machine and his infinite
care, felt better and became less
alarmed.
'I am very glad of his achievement

BLAMBS POLICEMEN
FOR SONS DEATH
Says They Maltreated Him
in a Station Cell.

An inquest will be held at the mergue
this morning over the body OF Beverly
TueIl. a negro, who died Monday night
in the patrol wagon Of the Third pre-
cinct, while an its way to the Washing
ton Asylum Hospital TueH had been
arrested by the police Of the Third
precinct and locked up for several hours,
when he was found lying on the floor
in an unconscious condition.
His father called at police headquarters
yesterday and said his son had died from
injuries received at the hands of police
men. He told Inspector Boardman that
he had the names Of two witnesses who
would testify his son had been mall
treated.
Deputy Coroner White, who held an
autopsy yesterday afternoon, would not
announce the result.
The Washington herald., 1911-07-15

every one has shown us nothing but
kindness. The newspapers have been
especially kind. and as far as we are
concerned we do not share the opinion
that seems to generally prevail OF press
representatives. In both Boston and in
New York the reporters called me UP
and told me OF the various stages OF his
flight and showed the attention in many
men have been no exception. and
know (here Mrs. Atwood archly smiled
you will prove no exception.
Gets Many Inducements.
''Mr. Atwood's father has been up with
him, also his sister, and perhaps I may
go myself at some time, although al
present I am undecided" went on Mrs
Atwood. Il wish you could see the
piles OF letters and kilograms that boy
receives every day, offering inducements
to him. It is hard to choose from the
great number. AS for myself. since
have been in Washington I have re-
ceived flowers and invitations-almost
mon than can possibly -ccept. 1 felt
that had no friends in Washington
when first came. but in the short time
] have been here feel that have hun
dreds.
MY son has gone to New York this
afternoon to decide what his course OF
action in the future shall be. This is
the hardest task of all-selecting his
next place for a flight. Our plans are
very indefinite, and will largely depend
upon the result OF his New York trip.
Wherever he goes. I will accompany
him, and have every reason to be-
lieve he will continue covering himself
with glory. Is II not a proud event for
a mother as we'll as for the son?'
Simplicity seems to be the keynote
Of Mrs Atwood's every word. move. and
bearing. There Is nothing of the af-
fected, nothing of the overenthusiastic,
only a glowing pride in her son and his
achievements. She speaks OF him con-
tinuaIly as my son." and has nothing
but kindness for every one.
She received The Washington Herald
reporter in the reception room of the
Willard with the query as to the pri-
vacy OF the place. Gorgeously dressed
women passed at intervals, and by
some Mrs Atwood was recognized. To-
ward none, however. showed she the
least inclination to bask in the reflect
ed rays of her sons fame: only the true
spirit OF enthusiasm for his achieve
ments was allowed to enter into her
conversation.
