Twenty-four hours in Phoenix for George SontaR, cx-train robber and bandit, of San Francisco, was sui. heient for him to again prove the old saying that "this is small world after all" Sontag hadn't been in this city more than three or four hours before he ran across Ben But. Ter. Now Ben probably never held up a train. but he probably knows about as many people of prominence m the west as any other man. Then Sontag ran across several others whose acquaintance he had made al different times
 lt is Sontag's first visit to Phoc. nix. although he wen, through Ari. rona on the Santa Fe, twenty year. ago, before he had attained fame. He says that Phoenix appeals to hin, and that he believes that he would hke to make his home here.

WHO WILL BE THE PRESIDENT
OF TURNER NORMAL7

Since DR.. j. A. Jones, President Of
Turner Normal, Shelbyville, Tenn,
seems very likely to be elected to the
, editorship Of the Southern Christian
Recorder, one of the official organs of
his Church, the people throughout the
state are asking who will succeed him
as president of the college. Several
names are mentioned but the most
prominent among them, and one of
whom it is believed will succeed DR..
Jones, are Dr. ]. @. Johnson, Presid-
ing Elder in the Tennessee Confer
ence, and DR.. l. S. Welch, Presiding
Elder in the East Tennessee Confer
ence. Both men have large follow
ng and it is the concensus of opinion
that one of the two will succeed DR..
Jones in the event he is elected.
DR.. Johnson is a graduate of Fisk
University, this CITY, and has a splen-
did reputation and an educator and
scholar. Dr. Welch is one of the
first graduates of Wilberforce Uni
versity, Ohio He is we'll known
throughout the country for his schol-
arship and his educational qualifica-
tions
Either of these men would be a
worthy successor to DR.. Jones, and
while there are other able men in the
state, it seems to be the opinion that
one of these would have first call
in the event DR.. Jones is elected.

dollars during the past four years for
General Conference purposes, not in

couraging nature.
The conference is just getting down

gives promise of being the most ener-

yet been held by this great body of
representative people, all of whom are
laboring faithfully for the welfare of

Scenes Bordering on Sensation Of

-oIiverites Fight Hard, But
to no Avail.

Backed by the State organization,
controlled by Governor Hooper and
United States Senator Newell San
ders, the Taft people captured the
State Convention yesterday and after
wrangling all day and up TO midnight
succeeded in choosing solid delega-
tion to Chicago instructed to cast
their vote favorable to President Taft
in every contest.
Disappointed and sore at the State
organization the Roosevelt men were
several times on the verge of a boIr.
Led by their valiant chief w. j. Oil
yer, of Knoxville, who was the lead
ing role in the mob convention of four
years ago, the ColonePs followers
fought hard battle and died game.
The delegates from the State-at-
large are: United States Senator New
ell Sanders, John j. Gore, ]. w. Ross
and State Senator Zen Hicks. The
announcement of their selection was
the occasion of wild excitement among
the Taft men.
The Roosevelt men, who are also op-
posed to Governor Hooper and Sena-
tor Sanders, were bested on every
proposition. The treatment given
them bids fare to widen the breach OF
the old factions. Many expressions Of
regret were heard among the staunch
friends of Governor Hooper because
they foresee certain doom for him.
They realize that divided party
means hissscertain defeat. -assf SEQ
A strong fight was made-to have Mr.
roosevelt represented in the list Of

promise whatever. ,4
