Eliminating the hopes"

That beating which Porky Flynn
gave Jim Barry in New York last
night should result in the latter being
for all time left out Of consideration in
figuring upon a probable opponent for
Jack Johnson. The reports Of the
about show that Flynn administered a
severe drubbing to Barry and had the
advantage both in infighting and fight
ing at long range. While this does not
prove that Flynn is a wonderful fighter
1t at least shows that Barry is elimi-
mated from future consideration.

will go down the river this evening on
the annual outing of the Potomac Boat

revenue, boating is one of the most ex-
pensive of all forms of sport, and when
such an opportunity is presented as
today aquatic enthusiasts should do all
in their power to help the organization
that has fostered sweep rowing ana
sculling for years and last summer gave
the Capital a national regatta. The
committee has worked hard to make
the affair a success, and gcod time
seems assured for all who make the

Montgomery January 4-(Special.)-
 Speaker Almon, in placing in nomination
 Senator Bankhead, paid the following
 tribute to him today:
 MT Speaker and members of the house, permit me in placing in nomina- ton for United States senator the choice Of the democrats of Alabama, expressed in direct primary held May ?, 1910 to
 make few remarks concerning this great
 and distinguished man.
 About sixty-five years ago John Hollis
 Bankhead was born in the mountains of Lamar county, in this state. He grew
 up as other country boys and about the
 time he became 21 years of age his peo- pie discovered in him the elements that go to make up a strong and useful man and elected him to the legislature. "One of the first things he did when he came to Montgomery, and I refer to it
 because it was an evidence of his fore
 sight and great wisdom, was that he courted and married Miss Talulah Brock man, one of the loveliest, most beautiful and charming girls of this, the capital city. And by way of parenthesis, would
 most respectfully recommend that some of my young bachelor friends who are members of this house profit by the ex-
 ample set them by our distinguished sem ator.
 After the legislature adjourned young Bankhead carried his bride back to his country home, where they have contin- | ued to live to this day. They have raised | a family of sons and daughters who to- ,,i- Grgt nf Their sons are men of ability. distin- guished in their respective professions; as true and loyal friends as ever lived. Their daughters are women who have splen- did mental attainments, social positions, | culture and all the graces and gracious ness that belong to the flower of our | southern womanhood.
 ..Young Bankheads next official posi-
 ton was that of warden of the state penitentiary This position he filled with | ability and to the entire satisfaction of
 the people of Alabama. About the time
 he escaped from the pentitentiary as war den his people elected him to seat in
 the Congress of the United States, where he rendered the people of his district,
 the state of Alabama and the nation I faithful loyal and distinguished service l for continuous period of twenty years. | While there he did not undertake to make any special reputation as an orator, | but he was a man who did things, a man
 who accomplished something for his con
 stituency He did much toward devA-
 oping the great. industrial districts of | Alabama He did much, if not more,
 than any other man from Alabama in improving the waterways of the state. | .'In 1908 the state executive committee | of the democratic and conservative party | of Alabama met in Montgomery. It pro- I vided a plan for the nomination of two I United States senators to succeed Sena- tors Morgan and Pettus It also adopted Ia plan for the nomination of alternate senators. This plan had a two-fold pur- pose 1 know whereof I speak, because

 Henry HiDdman said that both the Kennedys were armed and that after the shooting spell Kennedys pistol contained four empty cartridges, the magazine gun containing two shells in the magazine and one in the barrel. The state is trying to prove conspiracy.
 The bloody garments were exhibited in court to show how and where the de- ceased had been shot.
