OKLAHOMA CITY
MEETING PLACE
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVEN-
TON AGREES UPON 1T As THE
PROPER PLACE FOR TIE NEXT
/ SESSION..
By Associates Press.

Jacksonville, Fla-,- May -19.--Olla-
homa City, Okla, was agreed on to-
Gay as the place of meeting of the next
convention of the southern Baptists
now in session here. The committee
as a whole is expected to act favorably
on the recommendation.
The Introduction of resolutions deal
ing with matters outside the church
precipitated a lively discussion. A
resolution fostered by Captain ]. G..
Mccall, of QuttmaE, Ga, gave strong
endorsement to President Taft's pro-
posed arbitration pact with Great
Britain and France and asked that II
be extended to Germany and Italy.
This was adopted by the convention.
Judge George Hillyer, of Atlanta,
then offered resolution calling upon
the body to express its displeasure at
what he called the prevalence of crime
in the country and asking the press
and pulpit to remedy the condition.
Before this could be put to a vote,
DIR. Lansing Burrows, Of Americus,
Ga, one of the conventions secretaries,
objected to further secular activity.
This" he said, ''is a religious con-
vention and it should not give it's time
to consideration Of political matters.
The doors were opened last year when
a resolution on the cure of tubercu-
losis was considered and if this thing
is kept up, 1t will not be long before
a committee will be appointed to ex-
anime into the origin, effect and cure
of the hookworm."

TO BLACKMAIL
..: DRUMMER IN NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, May 19.-James Rey-
nolds, of Georgia, believed to be the
same man who is under arrest at Mo-
bile for shooting John F. Duggan, took
sudden departure from New Orleans
early this week after District Attorney
Adams had investigated an alleged
scheme by Reynolds to blackmail a
business man of this city. Reynolds
came here with a. young woman whom
he represented to be his daughter and
made charges that she had been mis-
treated by a New Orleans travelling
man named Falk. Reynolds asked per-
mission of some police officer to shoot
Falk but the latter denied any i'm
proper relations with the young WON
an and made countercharges of at
tempts to blackmail him.
After investigating the matter, the
district attorney had talk with Rey-
nolds and the latter readily agreed tc
get out of the city.
Police officials here express the be-
lief that the woman with Reynolds is
not his daughter.

Tallahassee, May l9-His voice
quivering with excitement and anger,
Representative Angle of Polk today
administered tongue lashing to Rep
resentative Dougherty of Volusia
which constituted by far the most live-
ly scene enacted upon the floor dur
ing the present session.
The Angle bill for the abolition of
the convict lease system which was
passed by the house Wednesday and
sent to the senate, but which was re-
called from the senate under a mo-
ton by Representative Winthrop to
reconsider the action in the house
came up under that motion this
morning. Mr.. Winthrop moved to re-
consider the vote by which the bill
had passed. Mr.. Dougherty spoke in
favor of the motion. The positfvity
of the member from Volusia is we'll
known. He is one of the oldest mem
bers of the house, has been speaker
OF the house; he sat in the house in
1875 and was one Of the giant fight

premacy threatened the state; he was
afterward a member Of congress from
the Second Florida district, but de-
clined it to return to his Volusia
county farm. He has lived in retire.
ment for the past few, years, but was
elected a member of the present
house, and has been one of the pic
turesque figures. He spoke several
times yesterday. In opposing a bill
by Mr.. Mckenzie of Putnam which
sought to. make it lawful for voters
who paid real or PERSONAL property
tax to participate in bond elections,
he digressed to make an attack on
former Governors Broward and Jen-
uings IN ~tffa coufsas of a&aese re-
marks he said that he was opposed
generally to Innovations; that he, did
not like the idea OF amending the
constitution, and that in the course OF
a long experience he had never pro-
posed but one amendment; that when
1T was proposed to put q provision in
the constitution forbidding the gov
ernor of Florida to succeed himself
that he had been opposed to the idea,
but that he had lived to see the day
that he was in favor of it-that he
believed the present governor to be
honest, but he could not assert the
same in regard to his two immediate
predecessors (Broward and Jen-
nings).
No notice was taken of the attack
yesterday, and probably would not
have drawn forth reply if it had
not been for his speech this morning,
in which he strongly declaimed

Washington, May 19.-The desire OF
so many members to speak on the

Accordingly an agreement was at
tanned by Representative Flood to con-

JuareZ, May 19.-Peace will not be
declared in Mexico, the general armis-
tice will not be terminated and Ma
dero Will not visit Mexico City until
De La Barra Is installed in power, de-
clared prominent insurrecto leader
tonight. The interim between the
present time and when De La Barra
becomes president will be utilized in
having the Mexican congress enact
laws covering most of the contested
points If the rebel bands fighting in
dependently continue, Madero will
fight them.
Rebel leaders are today considering
naming the new cabinet and the fol-
lowing will probably include the Ma

Manuel Calero; communications, Man

City within few days of provisional
President Francisco l. Nadero, Jr., re-
ceived set back this morning when a
member of the Ell Paso revolutionary
tunta received a telegram from the
capital stating that persistent rumors
were in circulation there of the exist
ence of a plot to attempt the life of
'Madero upon his arrival. - -.
h Beyond this bare statement, y the
message gave no details, but the mat
ter was considered serious enough to
result in a hurried consultation of in
surrecto leaders as to the advisability
of postponing the trip of Madero until
such time as the report was disproveG
or affairs in the capital were in a
more settled condition.
Madero and his advisers awaited to-
day an answer from Mexico City as to
the immediate naming of the four pro-
visional governors the remainder to be
nominated later. Until the reply is
received the progress of peace negotia-
tions is practically at a standstill. No
doubt is expressed, however, that the
answer will be favorable.
Every. officer on the staff of the pro-
visional president, 1t was announced
today, had donated six months salary
as fund for the widows and children
of insurrecto soldiers killed during the
revolution.

New York, May 19.-Sweeping
charges of a gigantic conspiracy to
maintain high prices, to blacklist con-
Germs not regarded as proper" and to
violate generally the Sherman anti
trust law, are made in a government
suit fled by Attorney General Wick
ersham in the United States court
here today against the so-called lum-
Der trust.
Ten trade organizations and more
than $50 individuals are named as de-
fendants in this suit, which may be
the first of several planned by the
department of justice against combi-
nations of retails in staple commodi-
ties and the necessaries of life to pre-
vent the ultimate consumer from
buying anywhere, except from local
retailers.
The governments suit is replete
with sensational allegations and 1t is
asserted that builders and consumers
of lumber the country over are at the
mercy OF the retailers organizations
In different sections Of the United
States.
The suit filed today is against the
Eastern States Lumber Dealers AS
sociation.
Attorney General wickersham and
his special assistant, Clark McKerch-
er, have devoted more than a year to
gathering the evidence on which to-
days suit Is based. This evidence in
cludes copies of the alleged agree
ments, blacklists and reports of the
various organizations branding whole
salers and retailers who have dared
to violate the rules of the associa-
ton as 'poachers," mavericks .

straint Of the trades Of the consumer
and the manufacturer. 1t is the evi-
dent purpose of the plea to confine the
charge largely to that feature, small
stress being placed upon the restraint
of trade among the conspirators
themselves.
The government charges in brief
that by an elaborate system of black
listing, not only individual consumers.
but some Of the largest Industrial cor
porations have been prevented from
dealing directly with wholesalers. BY
alleged unlawful agreement and acts,
II is charged that all competition for
the trade of the contractor, the build
ers, the manufacturer of finished lum-
Der products, and the individual con-
sumer has been thrown entirely into
the hands of the retailers in the East
ern States Retail Lumber Dealers AS
