JUDGE ASKED ID
 INCREASE BONDS Allison Boys Offer Larger Bonds Than Set by
 Abernethy

It is seldom that a bond for a great CT amount than that imposed by the courts is offered for the release of a prisoner, yet such an incident happened yesterday in the court of common pleas, presided over by Judge Abernethy
 Two young white men named Herbert and Jesse Allison were given a pre- liminary hearing on a charge of grand larceny. After hearing the evidence for the state Judge Abernethy held them to await the action of the grand jury and set their bond at $500. Neither of the young men took the stand al the hearing. Their attorney, c. P. Beddow, produced two bonds for $500 each, al- ready signed up and in order not to have the trouble of making new bonds the court changed its order and set the bonds at 5000.
 T have never been asked to increase bond before." remarked Judge Alb, but I have been opportuned thousand times to decrease them"

 MAY WALK AGAIN

Newman. Ga, June 12.-Eugene IL Grace. who was mysteriously shot at his home in Atlanta last March, and who has since been partially paralyzed, was operated on today for the re- moyal of the bullet supposed to have severed his spinal cord. The ball was not removed, but it was found that the spinal cord was not severed, nor was the bullet in the spinal column. It was embedded in one of the vertebrae, causing it to press against the cord, resulting in paralysis. Grace showed no bad effects from the operation and Is expected to recover.
 Mrs. Daisy opie Grace, his wife. for merly of Philadelphia, who Is charged with the shooting. Is now at liberty on bond. Her trial Is set for the week of June 24, but the developments in Grace's condition may result In another postponement.

O'NEAL COMMENDED FOR ACTION
 IN JEFFERSON TAX SITUATION

Der of Commerce will make to his state ment which was published on last Mon day morning. The governor says that the controversy is at an end so far as he is personally concerned. though it is believed that he will have something more to say on the subject should he deem it necessary, in reply to any further statement which the committee may is- sue.
 Under the law, the state has a right. in order to ascertain and arrive at a just basis of assessment, to examine the fire insurance policy of any property holder. The governor has requested the members of the state rax commission to take this action in all cases where there are vigorous protests regarding any as- sessments. An insurance policy will cover, as q rule, three-fourths of the property valuation. and the governor believes that this is one of the safest and most liberal ways of determining @ just basis of assessment
 Governor O'Neal is firmly convinced that the stand he has taken in Jefferson county is correct He is daily in receipt of letters commenting him for his ac- tion and he declares that he intends to pursue the same policy in each of the other counties of the state.

ventions were formed The Taft men de- clared theirs the legal and regular convention. W. J. Latham and F. V. Brown presented affidavits from police l officers at Jackson and other persons to show that the Taft republicans had tried to run peaceable and orderly conven- tion.
 After the convention divided Latham said the Taft men did not try to put the Roosevelt men out or fntimidate them. MT. Brown said only b or 20 people took part in the Rooseevlt convention.
 w. F. Mollison, negro attorney, repre- senting the Roosevelt forces declared
 armed men, had prevented Dan w. Gary from taking the gavel in the state con vention and had driven him from the platform.
 The Roosevelt men then proceeded with their convention, he said, as near the platform as they could get.
 Mississippi Delegates Seated
 The committee decided to seat the four Taft delegates at large from Mississippi with little division. Senator Borah off, fered as a substitute a motion to seat the Roosevelt delegates, but it was de- feated. He requested q roll call on the Taft delegates but it was not seconded and the motion carried with a few votes against it.
 Tn the Mississippi district Senator Borah said he was authorized to withdraw the contest. The committee thereupon seated the two Taft delegates from the district unanimously Adjournment followed at 7:l5 until o'clock tomorrow morning. IL is expected the rest of the Mississippi dis trict delegates cases, which are similar, will be consolidated and quickly dis posed of.
 The Mississippi arguments presented the only humorous incidents of the day. W. E Mollison, a negro attorney and one of the Roosevelt delegates. convulsed the committee with his references to National Committeeman Mosely as ''an associate of kings and princes and magnificent man ordinarily, whom he had never seen in the wrong before" lie also alluded Tn glowing terms to Dan W. Gary, the negro whom the Roosevelt forces had proposed as chairman of the Jackson convention.
 Gary later addressed the committee and made a statement which E. P. Jones. the Taft negro chairman of the convention, declared was untrue. AS the, contestants withdrew Gary who lowered over nix feet started toward Jones. Friends and members of the committee intervened and the contestants were led out into the hall. Most of the committeeman followed. There was an interchange of amenities outside but no fsticuffs.
