GREAT STATE FAIR IS THING OF PAST Sacred Concert at Grounds Yesterday Afternoon
 Final Feature

With the last note from the cornet of signor Liberati and the final song of the opera singers. the 1912 Alabama State Fair passed Into history yesterday aft ernon. Only a fair sized crowd had as- sembled to hear the sacred concert by the celebrated band. but those who braved the the threatening clouds and the driz- gle of rain were well repaid for their ef- fort
 The mist and the damp weather made 1t hard for the opera singers to give their selections, but their performance was ex- cellent and was well received by the aud fence. The large band carried out every selection on the programme and the mu- slcians were never better than yesterday afternoon. It was necessary for Iiberau to refuse encores during tho closing part of the concert on account of the fact that the band had to catch 6 o'clock train for Boston.
 The fair this year has been the best ever given here, according to the reports of the officials. The attendance has been larger than ever before. and the many exhibits and free acts have never been equalied on the fair grounds. But one shadow was cast across the entire weeks carnival, and that was the unfortunate death of Aviator James Stew enson. who fell with his biplane on Mon- day, sustaining injuries from which he died early Tuesday morning.
 The crowds were exceptionally orderly and scarcely any trouble was experienced by the police during the week.
 .te, .aefo ha.ya packed up and left; the musicians are already on their way; numerous stock cars have carried the excellent exhibits of stock back to the farms and stables; the freaks of the Midway are gone and the cry of the hawker is heard no longer on the fair grounds, but the memory of the past week will no doubt long remain with the people of Birmingham and the throngs of southerners who visited the big fair.
 The programme as carried out yester- day by the Liberati band was as follows:

TOM LONG SAYS THEY MAY BE ENDOWED FOR TRYING TO RUN FOR OFFICE ON TWO TICKETS

If the republicans who are candi- dates for office In Walker county carry out their alleged intentions of running both as Taft and Roosevelt republicans, the democrats, according to T. L. Long, who was in Birmingham yesterday. will endeavor to enjoin them.
 The reports that have emanated from Walker county are to the effect that the republican candidates consented to run as ''progressives" if the progress sives" would not nominate men against them.
 The democrats, according to MT. Long and other residents of Walker, who were here yesterday, do not care whether these candidates run as straight republicans or as progress sives" of the bull moose persuasion, but they do object to these men having

their names enrolled on the ticket un- der the Vulcan emblem of the fepubll- cans and also under the bull moose of the 'progressives."
 They must declare themselves, stated MT. Long. We want to know what they are. They cannot be candi- dates of both factions and enrolled under two tickets. Under the law. they are compelled to run as candidates of certain party. If they persist in their intention of having their names appear twice on the ticket, we will endeavor to get out injunctions."
 Julius W. Davidson, one of the leaders of the progressive" faction, has just returned from Walker. in which coun- ty he made several speeches. He stated yesterday that it was his understand ing that some, probably majority, of the candidates who were nominated by the republicans of the Taft faction had agreed to renounce their allegiance to Taft and to support Roosevelt-and that as result, they would not have op- position by candidates of the Roosevelt faction.
 The races in Walker according to re- ports, are exceedingly interesting. It Is understood that the problem with which the democrats are concerned will reach head today or tomorrow.

Of strawberries and cream. drank a big
glass Of milk. and munched several
pieces of buttered toast.
At a. m. John D. mounted his bicycle

RESCUED SAILORS
TELL OF PIRATES
Crew of Bark Genee Put Adrift in
Small Boats by Captors
of Vessel.

New York, July s-When the steamer
Allemania arrived in port to-day a thrill
ing story Of shipwreck and attack by
pirates was told by thirteen sailors of
the italian bark Genee. on board the
Allemania, and rescued by the latter
boat when in desperate plight at Inagua,
the Bahamas.
According TO the story told by the res
cued sailors. the Genee set out from Ina
qua on May 16, bound for Marseilles,
with a costly cargo of hardwood. and
when a short distance out from port had
ried them out Of their course and threat
ened to send them to the bottom.
After working the pumps for several
days, the crew was on the point of de-
serting the bark and taking to the boats.
when a number of small sailboats came
alongside, and the occupants of these
boats. numbering more than 100. armed
with guns and revolvers. boarded the
Genee and ordered the crew to surren-
der. An attempt was made by the crew
to scuttle the Genee. and a fight ensued
in which the defenders were badly worst
ed. They were then ordered into the
small boats without water or provisions.
After rowing aimlessly for two days.
the crew of the Genee made land at one
of the smaller Bahamas and hoisted a
signal of distress, which was seen by the
lookout on the steamer Ailemania which
rescued them, nearly dead from exposure
and hynger. A British revenue cutter
was dispatched in pursuit OF the pirates
No report OF a capture had been re-
ceived by the Allemania up to the time
of leaving Inagu for New YORK City
All of the members of the crew Genee
were on board the Allemania when she
arrived here to-day except the captain.
Joseph Capello, and the firht mate. who
remained at the Bahamas to prosecute
the search for the pirates. The United
States government will be asked to CO.
operate with the British authorities In
putting a stop to the activity or the
pirates In Bahama waters.
Some months ago the steamer Prince
Joachim. plying between the West Indies
and New York. went aground AT ABOUT
the same point, where the crew OF the
Genee was shipwrecked, and was board
ed by pirates, who ransacked the snip
for valuables and robbed the passen-
gers.

ing. The blazing building attracted au-
toists, who brought him to this city.
AT Emergency Hospital Fisher related
strange story of awakening Just after
midnight and finding the interior of the
bungalow in flames. Il fought my way
through the fire and tried my best to
save the dear little woman and babies,
said Fisher, wiping a tear from his eye.
Told Thrilling story.
Horrible burns that covered his face,
arms. and hands seemed to tell even
more thrilling story of the futile at
tempt at rescue than Fisher related.
Put the autoists who brought Fisher to
the city related different account. They
said Mrs Fisher and the children were
alive.
In fact, the autoists declared. mother
and children We're safe at the home of a
relative at 15l6 Gales Street Northeast.
Commemorative Attorney Crandal
Mackey. of Alexandria County, talked
with Mrs. Fisher, She said her husband
came home about O'Clock Sunday morn
ing in frenzy Of drunkenness
He said he intended burning up the
children and me-" declared Mrs. Fisher.
''and then he took whisky flask from
his pocket and hurled II at the lamp. In
a second the room was filled with flames.
/ grabbed my baby and ran for life
My Oldest child. Edward. twelve years
old. carried his two little sisters from
the bed. They were still asleep when
the child brought them out to me.
Eugene was so close to the lamp he was
burned before he could pay any attention
to me or the children"
The bungalow was reduced to ashes.
1t was not insured, and was owned by
Mrs. Ellen Glover.
Extradition papers for Eugene Fisher
will be forwarded to Washington to-day
by Gov. Mann. Arson, the burning of a
dwelling at night, is punishable by cleo
trocution in the State penitentiary at

GORE PREDICTS
WILSON VICTORY
Blind Senator Visits Democratic
Candidate and Speaks Enthu-
siastically Of Outlook.
GOVERNOR IS CONFIDENT

seagirt, N J.. July s-The reunited
Democracy Of New Jersey, bosses and
all. called at Seagirt to-day and received
a real New Jersey welcome from Wood
row Wilson, but interest in the local
situation was overshadowed by the
presence Of Senator Thomas P. Gore of
Oklahoma
In a dictated statement, Senator Gore
predicted success for the Democratic
party this fall.
THE Republicans are hopelessly di-
vided," said the Senator. We scored
a great triumph in Baltimore. There was
glory enough for us all. We will dupli-
cate the victory in November.
The Democratic party is a unit, bat
tling as one man. under Wilson'S leader
ship for real Democracy. We have a
chieftain who is not revolutionary on the
one hand or a reactionary upon the
other. He simply embodies the real spirit
Of progress.
II cannot say too often-I want this
to go down-that Gov. Wilson is wise
enough TO know that too swift arrives
as tardily as too slow.
''On the other hand, the Republican
party is distracted and dismembered.
The reactionary forces are in the minor
ity. The insurgent element in the Re-
publican party will be divided into three
encampments. Party ties are power
full bondage and a few progressives
will support Taft. but this will be a neg
ligible number. The vast majority will
support Roosevelt-many of them out of
enthusiasm or infatuation for their
leader.
Gov. Wilson Greatly Pleased.
"A considerable number OF the pro-
gressive Republicans will support Wilson
l1r lAfa ,k
standpat element in the Republican
party, and who intend to eliminate
risk from the proposition. They will
take the bond Of fate and support Will
son in order TO make assurance doubly
sure. There are few States that are on
the impossible list in this campaign.
The Democrats are organizing and con-
Quoting a vigorous, thoroughgoing cam
paign."
Asked If he thought the candidate
should resign as chief executive OF the
piled, humorously:
Il never knew a good Democrat resign
a good job"
Gov. Wilson was so pleased with the
spirit of loyalty expressed by MS Wis
itors. the following statement was issued
alter all had gone:
1t has been a very dengntruI DAY
because the Ncw jersey men came IN
such force and showed such genuine anu
generous enthusiasm. Moreover, there
were so many old and tried rriends
among them that l was able 10 get al

the day how Thoroughly the working
force of the State was behind me-
Norman E. Mack. chairman OF the
National Committee. with Mrs. Mack and
their two daughters. are guests at the

expects TO meet Chairman Mack again
tomorrow night at the conference to
