being influenced by Sheriff McAdory and
friends of Deputy Sheriff Henry Cole, who
is charged with completely in the murder
of Ellard.,

appeal. Assistant Attorney General Mar
tin said: I'VE might achieve our end by
some other method. Then he stopped.
He declined to say what plans the state
may have to place Duncan in the peni-
tertiary.

Death Over Troubles of Her
Two Sons

Columbus Ca, June H.-(Special.) Mrs.
NJ A. Harris dropped dead in her home
in this city late last night from heart

tinued worry. Not long since two sons

lers' strike, which began nine weeks
ago and affected 23 railroads and near
ly 1000 men, was settled today, ac-

Mayor Harrison to carry on negotia-
lions in the interest of peace.
The offer of the railroads to take
back 1900 of the strikers at once and
provide places for the others as soon
as conditions made it possible, was
accepted by the strikers after several
days consideration.
One provision of the settlement. how
ever, is that none of the workmen con-
nected with acts of violence shall DO
taken back.
The principal demand of the men, an
increase of a cent an hour in wages
and reduction in the working hours
from 81 to 30 hours a week, was not

.O'NEAL' s FRIENDS
RUSH TO DEFENSE
Declare Governor Always
Favored Underwood
NO SECOND CHOICE
Governors Friends Believe Attack on
Him by Mobile Register Unwar-
ranted-O'Neal Pays Little
Attention to His Boom
BY l.. s. BETTY


Montgomery June 27.-(Special.)-
Friction among Alabama delegates at
the Baltimore convention has received
a considerable amount of comment both
by officials at the state capitol and by
representative citizens of Montgomery
The greatest amount of comment has
been heard with reference to. the
O'Neal- Thompson controversy, precip-
itated by the publication in the Mobile
Register of an article to the effect that
Governor o'Neal had allowed his am
billion to injure Underwood's chances
for nomination.
In commenting upon the article in
the Register, the friends of Governor
on all occasions expressed the utmost
loyalty to Underwood and that he has
never indicated that he had a second
choice On the other hand, they as
sert that Governor o'Neal has from
time to time insisted that he favored
Underwood first last and all the time,
and that he declared he would abide by
the will of the state democratic con-
vention in reference to voting for I'm
derwood until a nomination Is made.
Before Governor O'Neal left for the
Baltimore convention he said to a rep
resentative of The Age Herald that he
intended to let no other aim actuate
him than the promotion of Under
woods best interests, and that 1t was
his purpose to use every possible eff
fort in his power to aid in securing
Underwoods nomination.
Regarding the rumor that he might
become a candidate for nominee for
Vice President, Governor O'Neal frank
ly confessed that while the matter had
been suggested to him, he regarded
it as too remote for. contemplation,
particularly as Alabama had but one
candidate to place before the conven-
tfon-Oscar w. Underwood.
The opinion has been pretty general
ly expressed among Governor O'Nears
friends that the attack upon him by
the Register was unwarranted, and
calculated to do the cause of Under
wood some injury.
In reference to the attack upon Tom
Long of Jasper by James G. Oakley,
president of the convict board, there
has been little comment other than that
1t would have been better to preserve
harmony among the Alabama delegates
interests. It is known that Tom Long
has filed charges with Governor O'Neal
against the president of the convict
board, but the nature of these charges
is not definitely known.

WANT POPULAR VOTE
ON COMMIT EEMEN

Baltimore, June Elf recommendation
of the committee on resolutions is adopt
ed the democrats of the various states
will elect their members of the national
commmtte by popular vote. A proposition
to this effect was made in the committee
today and met with general approval 1t
was decided to present the subject in the
form of separate resolution and not to
incorporate 1t in the platform.
Members of the national committee are
selected now either by delegates to the
national conventions or by the state con-
ventions. 1t is believed this method of
proceeding gives too much power to a
small body of men, and 1t Is urged that
the committeeman selected by the people
themselves will be far more representa-
tive In their charactr. 1t Is UNDERSTOOD Mr..
Bryan will present the subject to the
convention.

BANKERS PREPARE
TO ANSWER CHINA

Washington, June 27-The state depart
ment is reluctant to credit report origin
ating in a dispatch to a London paper
that American Minister Calhoun had told
the Chinese minister of finance that
China did not need money. The depart
ment declared Mr. Calhoun had not been
authorized to make such a statement
Officials believe what Mr.. Calhoun really
did was to counsel the Chinese govern
ment to go slow In making any large
loans. There is no inclination at the state
department to believe China's rejection of
the plan will retard negotiations of the
financiers. Belief is strong here that
China will make the next move about
July |. when a further advance loan for
the payment of debts and troops will be
imperative
In the meanwhile 1t is believed the
bankers are preparing some answer to
Chinas rejection of the loan.
