Wilson Men outgeneraI Clark Forces.
The Clark men supported the mo-
ton in the hope that they might be
able to rally their forces for a last
desperate effort late in the evening.
They were out-generaled by the VIII
sonites. The latter prevailed on many
OF the Underwood adherents to vote
with them against the motion and also
secured the aid OF the Massachusetts
contingent, who wanted to enter their
dark horse, Governor Foss, in the
game as soon as they were certain
that Clark could not be nominated.
The result was the defeat of the
motion and then the tired, hungry and
now very peevish delegates resumed
balloting on the twenty-second roll
call When Massachusetts was reach
ed Mayor Fitzgerald demanded FIVE
minutes to explain why Massa-
chusetts was going to change its vote. :
Congressman Sulzer of New York
who was in the chair refused to con-
slider the proposition because objection
was made by one of the delegates in
the rear of the hall The Massa-
|chusetts delegation was angered over
the refusal, claiming that Fitzgerald
should be accorded the same courtesy
las that given Bryan, but Sulzer stuck
to his stand. All that Massachusetts,
could do to launch the Foss boom was
to cast all but two OF It's votes for
him.
Ohio, which had been wavering for
three ballots, swung into the Clark
column on this ballot in an effort to
make up the loss of Massachusetts and
the entire Harmon strength went over,
eliminating the Buckeye governor for
several ballots. Later, he was re
stored to the voting.
Bill Stone to the Rescue.
| When Wilson passed the 400 mark
the Clark forces took new tack in q
last effort to hold of what was now
generally accepted by all of the lead
ers as practically certain defeat. Sen
ator Stone got the platform and asked
Unanimous consent to change the
method OF selection He suggested
that all of the low candidates be elm
mated, thus leaving the contest t.
Clark and Wilson and that the candi
date who received the majority under
this plan be accepted az the nominee
Bitter opposition to this plan was a
once in evidence. The Wilson mel
ready to take sharp measures to on
pose it. Bryan hurried to the platform
and a number of other militant Wilson
ties we're in readiness to act but Con
igressman Buleson of Texas, with hi
! knowledge of parliamentary tactics
saved the day. He raised the poin
that unanimous consent was necessar.
for such an amendment to the rule
and then interposed the necessary oh
lection. He was reluctantly recogniz
ed by the chairman and the weary bal
loting was resumed.

NEGRO HANGS FOR
 MURDER FRIDAY O'Neal Refuses to Interfere With Judgment of Henry
 Circuit Court

Montgomery April Especial. )-Gov-
 ernor O'Neal has refused to interfere with
 the judgment of the circuit court of
 Henry county in sentencing Jim Will
 son, alias Jim Wilkinson, a negro. to
 be hanged on Friday of this week for
 the murder of another negro in a poker
 game The case is considered un-
 usual one. Wilson was engaged in d
 poker game with other negroes at New
 vile, in Henry county, and although he lost no money in the game, secured all negroes who had won a good stack of
 money, split his head open with the sharp instrument. Standing over the prostrate
 form of his victim. Wilson again dealt
 him a blow on his head.
 The desperate negro then went through the pockets of his victim, secured roll
 of money. took what money there was
 on the boards. and made his escape. None
 of the other negroes offered any resist fear.
 When the case came up for trial the negro plead guilty, declaring that he Woulu bc Sdllslito With hic ochtNhtc. This sentence was agreed upon by both
 the states attorney and the counsel for the defendant.

PREPARING SPECIAL
 BALTIMORE TRAINS
Southern Railway Busy Get ting Ready to Handle the
 Underwood Boosters

Local officials of the Southern Railway passenger department have begun actively to get details lined mp for the Under- wood specials which will be operated over the Southern to Baltimore. That line has been chosen as the official route of the Underwood delegation from this state to the convention in Baltimore. The com- pany proposes to furnish as many spe- cial trains as the crowd may warrant. It is believed that after consolidating the delegations from this state and Georgia in Atlanta that there will be at least three special trains, operated to the conven- ton.
 The selection of the Southern railway as the official route was made by the committee on transportation and was received by the Southern railway with considerable qualification. In commenting upon the action of the committee yes terday Mitchell coxwell for the Southern railway passenger department said:
 Our line, feeling great interest in the work of nominating MT. Underwood the next President, will render every pos sible service in its power to give the dele gations from this section a pleasant jour ney to Baltimore. We appreciate the action of the committee and feeling that we are placed in a position of consider able responsibility our best will be per- formed.
 Tt is our intention to operate one Oscar Underwood special, which will be known all over our system as such, and as many other special trains as may be required to handle the delegation in a creditable and satisfactory manner. We are working out the details of the trip now, and noth- ing will be overlooked to make the af- fair success"

'O'NEAL ID SPEAK
 FOR UNDERWOOD Governor Leaves on a Trip Through Georgia Today PLANNED TO BE HERE Was Coming With WiIlingham to See About School Lands-Underwood
 Will Return to Washing
 ton Tomorrow
PLANNED TO BE HERE

Gov. Emmet O'Neal, at the request O. tie committee managing the Georgia campaign of Oscar W. Underwood, VII leave Montgomery for Atlanta this morning He will make several speeches in the Empire state and will not re- .urn to Alabama, it is probable, prior to the middle of next week.
 But for the Georgia trip the gov ernor would have spent yesterday in Birmingham H. Y. Willingham, su- perintendent of education. is here for the purpose of Investigating the recent sale of 400 acres of school lands lying across Red mountain. The governor was expected to come with him.
 This sale was made some time ago at auction and netted the state more 40 acres each, and the sale of but one section will be contested by the state should the recommendation of MT. Will lingham be needed. This section was sold for SIS per acre.
 It is very probable that other Ala bamians will be sent into Georgia before the conclusion of the campaign. It is generally believed that with Georgia sup porting him, MT. Underwood will have the whip hand in the convention. The chances are that Georgia will cast it's votes for Underwood, but to make assurance doubly sure the leaders of that state have ap- pealed for speakers from Alabama. X number of men were requested to go, but the majority requested were either i'll or too busy. Governor O'Neal will go in the morning. MT. Underwood Is very anx-
 ous that Jesse F. Stallings among oth- CTS go. It has been intimated that Con- gressman Hobson would be willing to tcur the state for Underwood. although
 it is not known as yet whether dates have been arranged for him.
 MT Underwood feels sure that he will win in Georgia and also in Florida, in each of which states he is opposed by Woodrow Wilson. MT Underwood spent a quiet day yesterday with relatives and friends, and attended the wedding of his son last evening. He will spend today making arrangements for the return to Washington. He will leave for the capital in the morning.

 Yesterday afternoon, after splendid work in the air and upon the track, the great aviation meet, automobile show and races under the auspices of the Business Mems league and the d. rection of the Berger Aviation com pany, came to a close after many in- terruptions by wind and weather. It was great success in the matter of aerial work, the races and the big au- tomobile show but the attendance was -A5''N ''iAa Ae4 AoA b0ApN W Idl AuG lllcn- agement had hoped and anticipated.
 Many things distracted public atten- ton after the meet started, the most noticeable of whicS was the great IT. tanic horror, which filled the press.
 For many reasons the attendance at the meet has not been as great as it should have been and this has been source of disappointment to the man. agement, inasmuch as the expense of gathering together aviators of the first magnitude and machines, as well as providing for races and other executive details, were very large.
 Yesterday afternoon the attendance was light, but the people present seemed more than satisfied with what .hew saw, for indeed 1t was an ex- cellent programme. Porter Chambless, motorcycle rider, was injured while practicing and was taken to the city in Louis Mitchells car. but he returned later and was seen on the track, al- though not on his wheel.
