Gov. Brown Not A
Candidate for Senator

Atlanta, June 17.-Newspaper
men who talked with Gov Brown at
the capital this morning came away
with the impression that the recent
talk about putting him into the..sen
atorial race was gossip, pure and
simple, without a shadow of fact to
support it.
Governor Brown does not want to
run for United States senator. If
any of his friends cherish the ambi"
ton for him, or, which is said to be
likely, if any of Hoke Smiths enc
mics hope to use Governor Brown
in an effort to harm Smith. it is GER
tain at least that they have not yet

LOSES FORTUNE AND WIFE
Californian Reduced to Poverty, Due
to Discharginq Debts, Is Sued
for Divorce.

San Francisco.-From the highest
position in the commercial and finan-
cial world to a condition of perjury
where he is compelled to cook his own
meals in a cheap lodging house that
he may be able to conserve his money
to keep up his appearance before his
former associates, Harry Sherwood,
formerly general manager of the Sper-
ry Milling company and vice-president
Of the San Francisco Merchants ex-
change, is being sued by his wife for
maintenance.
Disheartened and broken and suffer
ing from a complication Of physical
ills, Sherwood was in court and told
the story of his downfall, the more pitt
able because it is apparently due to no
fault of his.
Mrs. Sherwood has been living on a
homestead near Georgetown, Ell Dora
do county. given to her by Sherwood
when she left him two years ago, he
says.
Sherwood brought action for divorce.
but when Mrs. Sherwood asked for a
change of venue he asked that the suit
be dismissed, for he had not the
means to contest the application. Then
Mrs. Sherwood filed an action for
maintenance in Ell Dorado county.
The former associates of Sherwood
say he was known as man Of the
highest business integrity, who dis
charged every just and some unjust
obligations. He Is obviously a man Of
the finest sensibilities, and his unw1l-
ling discussion of his misfortunes was
as sad recital as human misery could
give rise to. 1t was the story of a
proud man brought almost to despera-
ton. 1t was the story Of man proud
of his reputation for business integ-
rity reduced nearly to perjury. 1t was
the story of a man proud of having
contributed to 35 years of welded hap
piness, during which seven children
were reared and married, dragged into
the humiliating limelight of the divorce
courts. 1t was the story of a man,
proud of a vigorous body and mind, re-
duced to mental and physical distress

SAYS SHE WAS INUNDATED
New York Court Awards Woman $3.50
for injured Feelings at
Bathhouse.

Albany, N Y.-The court Of ap-
peals has decided that woman who
Is elected from a Coney Island bath
ing establishment after she has paid
the price of admission is entitled to
recover damages for the indignity and
wounded feelings suffered by her
when she was elected. The court &C.
cordingly aff1rms a verdict of $3.50 In
a suit brought by Ada S. Aaron
against William ]. Ward.
The opinion in the case, written by
Chief Justice Cullen, states that the
plaintiff, intending to take bath In
the surf, bought ticket from the de-
PENDANTS employee for 25 cents, and
took her position in line Of the de-
PENDANTS patrons leading to a win
dow at which the ticket entitled her
to receive a key to bathhouse.
When she approached the window
dispute arose between her and the
defendants employees as to the right
Of another person not in the line to
have ticket given to him in ad-
vance of her. AS a result the plaintiff
was elected from the premises, and
the defendants agents refused to fur
nish her with the accommodations to
which she was entitled by her ticket.
Upon the trial the defendant con-
tended that the plaintiff was not en-
titled to recover more than the price
OF her ticket, and 1t Is this question
that Is considered by the court of
appeals. The plaintiff sued for
breach Of contract and the defendant
insisted on that ground that she was
not entitled to damages for the In
dignity of her expulsion. In affirming
the judgment for the plaintiff. the
court says that the bathing estab-
lishment stands on the same footing
as a place OF amusement, and that
one elected Is entitled to damages
for humiliation and indignity.

Statement is Given Below.

New Naturalization of all cor

ton of the International Harvester
Company was suggested by George w.
Perkins, the New York f%inancier who,
upon his return to New York, issued
reply to the statement given out at
the White House by Charles D. Hilles,
secretary to the President. The state
ment reads:
81 have read Mr.. Hilles' version OF
the Harvester matter and fail to n
anything in it that in the remotest de-
gree answers my letter of April 20 last,
to Chairman Mckinley. If Mr.. Taft
and his managers had at any time
meant to be fair and square and frank
with the public in this matter, they
would have complied with the Senate's
recent request and published in full all
that has taken place in regard to the
Harvester Company during the Taft
administration, especially during the
last twelve or eighteen months.
1.-THE public is being deluded daily
with the Taft version OF how Mr.
Roosevelt held up Mr.. Bonaparte's suit
against the Harvester Company and
why; but great care is being taken
to keep from the public all knowledge
as to whether or not Mr.. Taft held up
Mr.. Understands suit against the
Harvester Company and why. Full

would enable the public to form its

ROOSEVELT SEEMS
TO HAVE MAJORITY.
SOME OHIO DISTRICTS STILL in
DOUBT AND MAY REQUIRE
OFFICIAL COUNT.
WINS OVER WILSON
Senator Dixon, coIoneps Manager,
Claims a. Out Of 40 Delegates to
Chicago Convention.-ResuIt In
Ohio Practically Ends Fight.

Columbus, O.-Witn little more than
one-third Of the total vote in the state
counted, Colonel R%oosevelt's dele
gates on the Republican ticket and
Governor Harmon on the Democratic
preference ballot led Chio's first pres.
idential preference primary. The
fight on both tickets vas 80 close,
however, that complete returns may
change final results.
Complete returns from slightly less
than two thousand precincts of 5,192
in the state showed that Colonel
Roosevelt's delegates had a lead of
more than $4,000 votes. Governor
Harmon's lead over Woodrow Wilson
was considerably less than this. The
closeness of his race with Wilson was
indicated by late reports from Gin
%cinnati, Governor Harmon's home city.
Here the Ohio Governor, who had
been well In the lead In the early
returns, was shown to have 1854 votes
and Wilson 1904 in 100 precincts out
Of a total Of 361.
A peculiar situation developed in
the compilation of the results. This
showed that while Colonel Roosevelt
had a lead Of $4,000 In the total num-
Der Of votes cast for delegates pledged
to him, the vote by districts would be
such that he probably would not have
more than twenty-five of the forty
two districts delegates to the national
convention at Chicago. But while the
Democratic presidential vote was so
close, the result could not be foretold,
the indications were that Governor
Harmon would have at least 20 or "a
of the delegates to the Baltimore con.
vention. The privilege Of naming the
six delegates-at-large of the state.
however, Is carried by the winner Of
the presidential preference vote
OF the congressional districts, Col
onel Roosevelt, apparently, has won
delegates in the fourth, sixth, ninth,
tenth, eleventh, twelfth, fourteenth,
fifteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth,
nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first
districts. President Taft practically
has been granted the first, second,
third, probably the fifth, seventh,
eighth and thirteenth districts.

Still In Progress.

New Orleans.-The Mississippi river
continued to fall at all points from
St. Louis south and reports received
at the office of the United States
engineers here concerning the levees
were favorable.
The situation along the At~chafalaya
river south of Odenburg, the scene
Of crevasse, are critical according to
reports and relief boats were dis
patched to the newly inundated sec.
ton to rescue the endangered people
and livestock.
Besides Odenburg and Woodside,
which are already under water, the
following towns will be inundated by
the crevasse:
. Meta, Bayou Current, Elba, Rosa,
Palmetto, Richard and Bodoc, Mel
Vile, the largest town in that section,
already is covered by water from l to
3 feet deep and will be flooded by the
waters from the Odenburg break to a
depth of from 4 to 8 feet.
Most Of the women and children
had been taken out Of that country.
A decided surprise was occassioned
when the back water from the
Atchafalaya entered the outlying sec
ton Of Morgan City and reached a
depth Of three to five inches In some
of the business streets.
More than a hundred refugees from
the country south Of Odenburg have
reached Opelousas. Many of them
expressed fears that relief boats
would not reach some Of the maroon
ed persons in time. A large number
Of gasoline boats were sent to this
section from Opelousas and addition
al rescue forces will be dispatched.
