BULL MOOSE LEADERS
MEET IN NEW JERSEY

ASBURY PARK, N. j., July 23.-Prlor
to the mass convention of the New Jer-
sey progressives today, leaders of the
movement, after an all-night session.
had determined to put in the field a
complete ticket. including presidential
electors and nominees for state officers
There had been discussion among
promoters of the movement as to
whether the New Jersey progressives
should leave the Republican organiza-
ton or try to hold the machinery of the
old party.
Those who favored the latter course
argued that the result of the presiden-
tial primaries proved that the progress
sives constituted a majority of the Re-
publican party and are entitled to re-
tain privileges of the old established
party. 1t was urged that the progress
sives could nominate their candidates
for cleo tors and state officers at the
Republican primaries IN September,
with the understanding that such cleo
tors would vote for Colonel Roosevelt
Severlng relations with the Republic
ans and putting up a third ticket
would necessitate naming presidential
electors by petition, since the progress
sives now have no legal standing as
party.
Edward B. Osborne, chairman Of the
Roosevelt committee. who presided at
last nights conference, said that he
believed those who counselled abso-
lutte divorce from the Republican party
would prevail at the convention today.

DAWSON WOMAN, FLAYED BY WHIP,

negro hackman held the light for the man
who did the whipping. When the man
who did the flogging stopped to rest,
saving as he did that he was not yet
satisfied, the woman's back was bruis-
ed and bleeding and she moaned with
pain.
Friends sent for Drs. Gardner and
Crumbley, and when the physicians ar
rived they had to pull strips of her gown
from the cut places. 1t is said that the
bottom of her gown was rammed in her
mouth to hush her cries of pain. The
woman was sent to Macon the next day
on a cot, where she is now in a precari-
Gus condition.
Essie Carter scarcely able to talk, stat
ed in a husky whisper that she has sew
eral times helped Vogt Dozier out finan-
cially and that even now two or her
diamond rings are in pawn in Dawson,
put there by him. She says that she
went to Dublin about two weeks ago,
leaving two rings in Dawson with her
sister Mary. When she heard that her
sister was about to pawn the rings, she
wired Vogt Dozier to see if Mary still
had the rings and If so to get them and
send them to her.
Essie Carter heard nothing from him,
she says, and came on to Macon. 1t is
said Dozier followed her to Macon with
out the rings, but said that his sister
was wearing them, and that he would
return and send them on 70 her at once.
the Carter girl went on tc BAY yester-
day.
This was on Monday. He went home
and not hearing word she wired her
sister Mary, to know II Vogt Dozier had
returned and if he had the jewelry. This
dispatch brought no answer either and
she left, herself, for Dawson Wednesday.
There she managed to locate Dczier and
he admitted he had pawued the rings,
she says.
The Carter girl alleges that Jim Dozier
did his best to dissuade his father from
welding the whip and from start to fin
ish he protested.
In the meantime she says Vogt Dozier
was held Tuning and protesting, a prfs-
oner in the house of another brother,
while his father and yet another brother
were cruelty maltreating her. She asserts
that Vogt was lured to the house and
once there was kept by force until the
job was through. She has heard from
him, she says. and he has promised her
that he will come to Macon and bring her
back her diamonds.
The womans condition was even more
pitiable Monday night than Sunday,
when she arrived. The welts that cross
and reeross her body and limbs showing
where the lash fell, are even redder and
more angry than they were, and there
are large areas Of black, blue and yellow
patches where she says the butt end of
the heavy whip descended after the tip
had been frayed out.
She can scarcely move and her voice
is reduced to a whisper by the nervous
shock of the beating. Fever had set in
last night and while the doctors do not
feel that her life is in danger they say
her condition is serious Blood poisoning
is feared.
