In Mr.. James Speech he said:
Il congratulate the Democrats Of the
nation upon the fortunate auspices I'M
der which we have assembled. Here
no charge Of bribery hovers above this
hall, no cry Of thief and robber Is hurl-
ed by one fellow Democrat at another.
No soldiers stand In reserve to keep us
from each others throats. Our delib-
erations here shall be for the country's
good.
There are two records that will be
presented to the American people in
the coming campaign for their consid-
GRAFTON. One is the record of the Re
publican party with promises betrayed
arrogantly definitly betrayed and the
other Is the record Of the Democratic
party Of promises which fully and hon
estly kept. One is the Republican
party itself recognizing that President
Taft had been unfaithful to the great
mass OF Americans, refused by an hon
est majority OF the convention to re-
nominate him.
The Democratic party appealed on
their record In the sixty-first congress
upon the Payne Aldrich tariff law to
the American people and have receiv-
ed them a verdict OF guilty against the
Republican party and the bestowal of
power upon ourselves. How faithfully
we have kept our promises to them is
but a resume of our official action"

an extended review Of the record Of
the Democratic house CT representa-

Smith Men Scent
Plot in Apprentices.

Smith adherents in the state senate
scent a plot to Gust the former gov
ernor's appointees on the board of edu-
cation. They are fearful if the Brown
forces are victorious in the fight over
the Sheppard resolution scheduled now
for Tuesday, July 8, that Governor
Brown will reappoint the members of
the newly created state board of edu-
cation.
This situation developed today more
or less definitely through statements
made by several of Senator Smiths &C
credited followers in the senate. Brown
men, they asserted, were by no means
satisfied with the personnel of the
state board and would take this OPP
portunity to effect a change.
1t will be up to the senate to decide
on legal grounds if the appointees on
the educational board. along with the
directors of the Augusta Medical col
lege fall strictly under Smiths uncon-
flrmed appointments. All Of these were
originally appointments made under
acts passed at the last session of the
legislature.
OF the educational board but one
member was named by Governor
Brown. Walter Steed was appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the death OF
Judge R. G. Lawson, a Smith appoin-
tee
Smith leaders in the senate admitted
today that there was little chance for
the Sheppard resolution to pass. This
view of the situation was advanced on
every side by Senator Smiths strong
est henchmen.
When Senator Sheppard on the last
night of the last summers session. OBJ

the Smith men now believe he blum

come up as unfinished business and the

Mr.. Hall, of Bibb, had the first bill

REFERENDUM IN
ANT|-BEER BILL
Senate Demands Probe of the
State Board of Health New
insurance Measure.

The Georgia senate today adopted the
Beauchamp resolution to investigate
the state board of health, postponed the
hearing of a resolution calling on the
governor to return appointments made
by Governor Smith and which did not
meet the senates approval, and got
down to routine business.
The house set the Tippins anti-near
beer bill for a special order on July l.
as predicted in The Georgian yester-
day, and an amendment will be offered
submitting the bill, If passed, to a vote
of the people in October. 1t received
a bill providing that women shall have
the right to practice law in Georgia,
bill to create spec tai department of
insurance, and passed a bill hanging
over from last year appropriating $3.50
for book case in the pension commits
sioner's office which required a half
hour of the houses time. 1t adjourned
shortly after IL o'clock.
The Tippins bill, which promises the
principal fight Of the session, will be
taken UP next Monday. Two hours Will
be given each side for debate, and on
the next morning at 1880 o'clock the
previous question Will be called and the
vote taken.
Representative Adams, of Hall coun-
ty. will endeavor to amend the bill to
make it meet the approval of Governor
Brown, who has stated that he would
veto any change in the existing prohi-
bition law which is not first submitted
to the people. His amendment pro-
vides for a referendum at the next state
election, the governor to approve 1t
only in case the voters favor 1t. There
has been serious doubt expressed as to
the constitutionality Of submitting
statute to public vote after its passage,
and a hot fight is expected on the
amendment, which might result In
throwing the law out under supreme
court test.

bill is disposed of.
Mr.. Hall insisted that the matter be
referred to the committee on rules,
though he said he was ready to vote
for Mr.. Alexander's request.

WHOLE FAMILY EXTINGUISHED

WIFE AND CHILDREN ALL
PERISH
FIFTY-ONE ARE INJURED
OF THIS NUMBER 1T Is EXPECT
ED THAT MANY WILL DIE
OF INJURIES

Corning, N. Y, July 5.-Twenty-fye
of the victims of the wreck yesterday
on the Lackawanna railroad have
been identified and 16 still awaited
identification today, eight in Elmira
and eight in Corning. Forty-one per
sons were killed and 81 injured in
the disaster.
But one additional Identification
was made in the early hours of the
morning. Mrs. Louis Friedman of New
York, whose body was taken to Ell
mira, was recognized there by her
brother
OF the injured but four. Miss Mary
Brennan, James Griffith, Nellie Schan-
del al of New York, and Max Els
man, of Jersey City are considered
seriously hurt.
A pathetic case was that Of William
r. Laird of Buffalo, whose entire fam
iIy consisting of his wife, 5-year-old
daughter and 2-year-old son were wip-
ed out by the catastrophe. His father
also was killed. Mr. Laird, who is
employed in as Buffalo printing estah-
lishment, left that city last night,
knowing only that his father, George
Laird, had been killed. He had re-
ceived no information of the fate of
the others and visited the local NOR
CUES searching for the missing ones.
At the first place visited he found his
little boy and girl, laid out side by
side on a stretcher. At the second
morgue he found the body of his
wife beside that of his aged father.
The family had taken advantage of
holiday excursion rates for reunion
in Buffalo. 1t was George Laird's
first railroad trip in 60 years.
Another body identified today
was that of Mrs. Bemar Cato of
Morristown, N. ]. William Schroed-
er, engineer of the express, is at his
home at Elmira under physicians
care.
Two bodies identified later were
those of Mrs. William M. Armstrong,
Hoboken, N. J., and John B. TAFT,
Brooklyn. The latter had a gold me-
dal, apparently of a basketball team
inscribed Champions of America,
won by John B. TAFT, 1911"

THE TWO LIGHTwEIcHTs WILL
BE MATCHED TO MEET
ON LABOR DAY.

Los Angeles. Calif.i July 5-"Sleep-
ing over it" did not serve to clarity
to any extent today the confusion
that followed the end of yesterdays
championship lightweight battle be-
tween Ad WoIgast and Joe Rivers at
Vernon. The cries of fake" and lob

fight pavilion yesterday. echoed to.
day among the haunts of sporting
men.
Promoter McCarey said that in view
Of the grave doubt laid against the
decision Of Referee Welch in award
ing the fight to Wolgast as a knock
out. he had not decided to give the
$500 diamond belt to the champion.
Scores of men who were among
the 11.OO0 spectators who watched the
fight yesterday. called at the offices
Of the Pacific Athletic club to sug-
gest that the boys be sent together in
another 20 round Oattle to decide fin
ally the question of supremacy which
was left ''up in the air" by yester-
days decision:
Rivers and his manager, Joe Levy,
expressed their willingness to let the
Los Angeles Mexican fight the bat
tie over again with Wolgast, but the
latter and his business director, Tom
Jones, maintaining silence. If the two
boys get together again, it is said, the
battle will be fought on Labor Day.
After Welch had helped Wolgast
to his feet and rendered his rank de-
decision said Levy, Il offered to
start the fight over again right there.
But Welch beat it and Jones and VOL
CAST refused. l am willing now to
send Rivers back into the ring agaihH
with Wolgast any time"
Wolgast did not leave his training
camp, to which he repaired fmmedi-
ately after the battle, until late today
Rivers was down town earlier. Both
boys showed the effects of the terrif-
ic fighting which marked the progress
of the thirteen rounds yesterday. Riv-
ers' right eye was cut and almost
closed, his nose considerably swol-
len and his mouth puffed and cut,
Wolgast, although endowed by ma
ture with a more rugged face, showed
plainly the marks of the pounding he
had received. One of his ears gave
signs of "cauliflowering," both eyes
were black and there were several
cuts between his forehead and chin.
Both boys were stiff and sore from
the effects of the terrific body
punches each had endured.

RETREAT BY TRAINLOADS
THE DEPARTURE IS ORDERLY
AND UNDER GOOD DIS
cIPLINE.
OROzCO GOES TO JUAREz
THE INsURREcTo LEADER WILL
MAKE LAST STAND ON THE
UNITED STATES BORDER.

Ell Paso, Tex, July b.--Organized
revolution in Mexico, insofar as its
pretense to a military campaign OF
concentrated forces, was by today's
movement of the rebel army shown
to have ended, and in its place there
was substituted a guerilla warfare,
threatening widespread devastation
in northwestern Mexico. Five troop
trains bore the retreating insurrec-
tos from the vicinity of Chihuahua
City to Juarez, opposite here. and
before the day was over it was ex-
pected most of the rebels would be
sent southwest from Juarez. a dis
tance of rs miles to Casas Grandes,
from which point it was Intended TO
effect an entrance to. the rich mining
state of Sonora
Having abandoned Chiahua to the
federals, the rebels destroyed all
bridges between Bachimba, where
the last battle occurred. and Sauez.
3 miles north Of Chihuahua, the small
station at which the rebel outposts
now are gathered. The vacuation Of
Chiahuahua means that the zone Of
rebel control will be greatly dimin-
ished, Juarez being the only import
ant point that remains.
General Orozco, the rebel chief,
spent the night at Sauez but was ex-
pected in Juarez today to direct the
movements of various bands into
which the rebel army now is disinte-
grating. Juarez at present is the
rebel capital, train loads of archives
having been sent there within the last
three days
Although the invasion of Sonora
means campaign in the noun
tains, the rebels, mostof them noun
taineers, have themselves equal to it.
The revolution in that form, they say,
will prove more vexatious to the gov
ernment than an ordinary campaign.
To check the rebel invasion Of So
nora, the Mexican government is
moving forces from Aqua Prieta and
western Sonora rull four thousand
men are believed to be under way to
intercept the rebels.
General Sanjines left Aqua Prieta
today from Frontera, Sonora, to take
command of the main column, and
while the forces of General Sanjines
are engaging the rebels in the state
line between Sonora and Chihuahua
the army of General Huerta is to
move up from the city of Chihuahua
along the Mexican northwestern rail-
road toward Casas Grandes and at
tack the rebels fro mthe rear.
Reports early were to the effect
that no federals had as yet entered
the city of Chihuahua, although a de-
tachment of cavalry under General
Rabago was said to be nearing the
town.

Apparently Johnson did not at
