ATLANTA, May Oscar W. underwood

they did not figure appreciably in the
contest. rs neither had made fight ir
Georgia.
The country counties, as had been pre-.
dictcd by the Underwood managers
have apparently defeated Gov. Wilson
When the first returns were received from
| Savannah. Macon. Augusta and Other
cities showing that they had gone for
| Wilson his managers were jubiiant and
claimed the State, but as soon as the
, country counties began to report Will
sons lead was quickly reduced. Nearly
every town in the State went for Wilson
only to have its vote overcome by the
returns from the rural precincts in favor
of Underwood.
,Wrsons majority was small in Augusta
where his father preached. and in Savan-
nah. where he married. hut he got large
majority in Atlanta. where he practised
law
The returns also show that Wilson
carried nearly every one of the counties
in which he spoke during his recent tour
of the South.
The heavy rural vote for Underwood
is attributed to his prominence in the
fight for tariff revision. The fact thai:
he was styled the father of the farm
ers free list bill" also counted heavily
in the agricultural districts.
Rack of the Underwood Wilson con-
test was the play of local feuds The
fight was really more of contest be-
tween the factions represented by United

HINT NOW THAT BRYAN
SEEKS THE NOMINATION
Effort to Make Him Temporary
Chairman of Democratic
National Convention.

WASHINGTON. May ndlng
the fact that Speaker Clark's victory in
Massachusetts yesterday gave him q
comfortable lead over Gov. Wilson for
the Democratic nomination. Democrats
in Washington are Interested in the re-
port that Col William j. Bryan is himself
after the nomination and is looming up
az n formidable candidate The most
significant development in this direction
that lends color to the report, say these
Democrats. is the fact that Bryan isnow
trying to have himself designated as
temporary chairman Of the Baltimore
convention. They contend that he wants
to nominate himself by capturing the con
ventiOn with another crown Of thorns
and cross Of gold" speech.
II ie said that National Committeeman
Hall Of Nebrask la. who is Mr. Bryan +
warm personal friend. proposed his name
on arrangements. which met al Baltimore
last Saturday to perfect arrangements for
the big Democratic gathering.
II IN said that six Of the fifteen members
of the COMMITTEES were favorable to Bryan
for this place. but that Committeeman
John 7. McGraw Of West Virginia checked
the movement 5y proposing United
" oI new lDTk
for the temporary Craftsmanship. 1t was
then decided TO defer the choice of a
temporary chairman until the full com
mittee meets. and i'll the meantime the
Bryan members and those opposed to the
peerless leader expect to do some tall
hustling.
The attempt to make Bryan the tempo
rary chairman of the national convention
it is said. is corroborative of other de-
velopments that tend to indicate that
Bryan wants the nomination. 1t is
pointed out that Mr.. Bryan has recently
been flirting with both the Wilson and
Clark booms. it being his evident desire
to play the one against the other in the
hope OF precipitating deadlock at Balti
more, Although he has been elected a
delegate to the Baltimore convention
and instructed to vote for the nomination
of Speaker Clark Mr.. Bryan has since his
election been on the stump advocating the
election of Wilson delegates. He went to
Florida in the interest OF Gov, Wilson
and elsewhere he has encouraged the
choice of Clark delegates.

SHOES MADE OF SNAKESKIN
Tempted to Conquer Their
Aversion to Reptiles.

From all reptiles the ordinary wom-

able women are now being tempted
to conquer their aversion to the ex.
tent of wearing snakeskin shoes. One
of the smartest boot shops In the
west end of London Is featuring"
these shoes; but up to the present 1t
seems to be uncertain If the fashion
will really establish itself on wide
spread lines.
Choice of quite variety Of skins
is offered. There is the dark and
heavily-marked skin of the deadly
cobra, or the lighter skin, with its
more delicate pigment markings, of
the rapacious python. The skins OF
the viper and the boa-constrictor have
also been made up.
Snake skin Is very soft, pliable, and
durable. The shoes are expensive,
Of course, for the skins are not too
plentiful, but this factor should rather
commend itself to smart people, as 1t
renders it much more difficult to copy
the fashion on cheap lines.

BURNED JUDAS IN EFFIGY
In That Way the Guides Showed Their
Love for the Christian
Religion.

We hanged Judas Iscariot today.
Having expressed our Joy over the res
direction of Christ by gorgng our
selves with roast lamb and bitter
wine, by firing guns, rockets and tor
pedoes and by lighting bonfires, we
gave vent to our remaining enthus1-
asm in one grand burst Of mock ven-
geance directed against the unfortu-
nate mortal who was destined from
the foundation of the world to figure
as a cats paw in the plan of salvation.
The burning took place in the front
of little church of the Virgin, sit
uated on the highest part Of the city.
From a pole erected before the door
hung a crude, wretched, melancholy
figure stuffed with straw, and ridicu-
lousy suggesting the image of a man.
Within the church the priest was con-
ducting the regular Sunday service.
At last the doors were thrown wide
open and the whole congregation
gushed forth like water from broken
dam, and Immediately thereafter ev.
cry man and boy in the square was
shooting away at the effigy. Poor Ju-
das whirled about and danced in the
air as the bullets peppered him, and
suddenly burst into flames. When

WaInuts Hiuh In Food Value.

The food value of walnuts Is very
high They are very rich in fat, con.
tanning as much as 63 per cent, while
the proteins amount to nearly Is per
cent. 1t has been calculated that 80
large walnut kernels contain as much
fat tas 2A pounds of lean beef, and
yet the walnut is used as supple
ment to a square meal. Added to
this the glass Of port, say two fluid
ounces, contains besides 1S0 grains OF
alcohol, 70 grains of grape sugar. In
the combination, therefore, We have
all the elements which make for a
complete diet-viz.: Fat, protein, car
bohydrate, to which may be added
mineral salts. Port and walnuts after
a meal are therefore, from nutritive
point of view, ridiculous excess"
and may lead to digestive disturbance.
Both walnuts and port wine contain
tannin, which is unsuited to some con.
stitutions.
