Taft Forces Claim Maryland

Baltimore, May S.--While delegates elected to the republican state conven- tion appeared on the primary ballots with no designation to indicate their affilia- ton, complete unofficial returns indicate that leaving the matter of instructions aside, a majority of them will be per sonally friendly to President Taft,
 Although the unofficial returns declare that the counties and Baltimore city by their preference vote have instructed l these delegates to choose a delegation to the national convention bound to vote for Roosevelt. yet the Taft leaders, ac cording to their extraordinary claims could control the organization of the state convention and the personnel of the na- tional delegates.
 Roosevelt leaders assert they have nc fear of such cut, and say the complica- ton would not rob them of the victory on the preference vote. Taft managers have made no statement beyond the declaration that they will not concede the national delegation to Roosevelt until the official canvass supports the result of the unofficial count.
 The figures complete for the republican vote and practically complete for the democratic show that the preference vote of Maryand as a whole was: Repub- licans, Roosevelt 29,124, Taft 26,0O9: Roose- velt's majority, 31l5, Democrats, Clark 34, 2S3, Wilson 22,436, Harmon TICS; Clark s plurality over Wilson, 11,S47.

Some time ago I heard the pres ident of large foreign fire insurance
 company stigmatize this city of ours
 in a peculiar manner" said J. F. Pas 1 chall. a prominent citizen of Wood 1 lawn.
 l Birmingham is the master criminal l in the ring of southern communities" was one phrase used by the insurance president. His remark was in reference to Birmingham failure to prohibit the further use of wooden shingles. To my mind his position was too radical, too extreme, but nevertheless, he stoutly maintained such was the case. He maintained that any man who would build a house and roof it with wooden shingles was guilty of a criminal of fense and in case of damage to property or life, resulting from such combus- tible material should be prosecuted ac- eordingly.
 There Is no doubt that the citizens oppose the use of wooden shingles for roofing purposes. I have heard quite few express surprise at the rad ical opposition to the movement dis played in some quarters which was in- spired and is being considered solely on the initiative of the chief of the fire department
 This applies, of course, to the lum- hermen, and their opposition is strange

Ranid Rise at RatcheIor

Batchelor, La, May s.-The water fro1n Torras crevasse rose rapidly here today. It surrounded the Texas and Pacific railroad depot, the highest point in town. The rapid rise since morning appears to confirm the report that the Torras crevasse water has been in- creased by another slough in the levee line of the revetment near Smithland Futile efforts have been made to raise the telegraph operator at Lettsworth which is three miles west of Smithland. The flood waters are sweeping through this town with increasing force and the few people who remained here and risked their own lives to save those imperiled will now be forced to get out a1d without delay.

IMPROVEMENT WAS SOON NOTICEABLE Suffered Greatly From Indiges-
 tion and Headache
TESTED MERITS OF TONIC
c. c. coxe Highly Elated Over Success Attending Use of "Tona Vita" Thinks All Debility Victims
 Should Use 1t

Hr. c. C. Coxe of Burk street. West End, is among the many Birmingham people who have tested the new tonic, "Tona Vita" which is making such a remarkable record here.
 In speaking of his experience with the medicine MT. Coxe said: For some time f I have been in poor health and could not find anything that helped me. felt dull and languid and did not seem to have enough strength, as 1 grew tired easily and could not stand long without becom- ing exhausted. My stomach bothered me a great deal. as l seldom ate meal that agreed with me. My digestion was poor, which would cause severe headaches. My nerves were on edge continually and a sudden noise would make me jump as if shot.
 "when went to bed I would wake up continually, and did not get good night rest.
 After reading of 'Tona Vita I decided to try il. Afte rtaking it. I began sleep ing better right away and at the end Of one week was eating better and my stom- 5aeh did not bother me. l have been i'm proving right along and am now in as good health as I ever was in my life 1 can now do a hard days work and do not feel completely worn out at night. l be- lieve it is the best stomach and blood medicine sold in Birmingham. l would advise any one with rundown system to give 'Tona Vita fair trial and 1 am sure they will be benefited by it in few days time"
 The sale of the new tonic has increased so rapidly that the representatives who are introducing the medicine have not been able to get an adequate supply. In speaking of this one of the representa- lives said: we are sorry to dsappoint the people, as we were forced to do part of last week. but we could not get the medicine here fast enough The demand is just as great in other cities as it is in Birmingham, and the manufacturing de- partment has been swamped with orders We received big shipment several days ago and we will not be without the med icine again during our. stay. We will be at the Collier Drug Company, 109-111 N 20th street, all of this week and will talk to callers between the hours of 9 a. m. to D. m. each day"

Origin of Silk Hats

From the London Chronicle.
 Silk hats were known in France some years before John Hetheringtnn fright ened Londoners by wearing one They came in with the French revolution, when all patriotic citizens abandoned wigs and had their hair cut short. Engravings printed as early as 179t depict sans culotte dandies wearing top hats. In race print of the trial of Grondists. which took place in 1795. all the judges appeared crowned with silk hats.
 Although the silk to; hat is not much more than one hundred years old, hats of that shape were worn hundreds Of years before. In Elizabethan times a cylindrical hat with a trim rather sinl- lar to that of the "fifties, and with the addition of a plume, was worn by the nobility According to Raphael, 1t was worn very much earlier even than that. A red top hat appears in the cartoon.

 While advocating wooden shinglI for the public at large, the homes some of the leading lumbermen of Il city are roofed with 'flreproof m terials, a number of those cases exiH ing--I am prepared to prove.

 Many small southern towns, q lurlbus, Ga. Savannah. Ga.

Rumored Iexee Breaks

Morganza. La. May s.A report was received here today that the west levee of the Mississippi river near Smithland, south of Torras, broke today. Warnings were sent out. People in this vicinity are f1ocking to the levees Several hundred persons from the flooded district were taken out of Morganza today on the Texas and Pacific railroad.
 The water is rising rapidly and two washouts in the Texas and Pacific tracks below the town are threatened It is not probable that the relief train can return to Morganza and the remaining flood vic tins here will have to take refuge on the leyees and await the arrival of rescuers.
