AFTER ANOTHER TEAM
FOR FRIDAY GAME

Friends Schol secured sweet re-
vcnge yesterday when they walloped
Coatesvillc to the merry tune of 4O-13.
Coatesville handed FRIENDS their only
defeat Of the season recently, and Tor
that reason the locals were out TOR
blood. Derrick was out Of the game
the last time the teams met and
Friends missed MIN considerably.
Yesterday he was back again and his
defense work showed a big factor in
lis teams victory. The Blue and
White started the game with marked
determination and went into the con-
fiict with a vengeance
Daley rolled in a tally during the
first minute and from mon on coach
Ross charges were never headed.
Pretty tosses by Daley. Eckman and
Short soon gave the speedy Quakers
a commanding lead ana they increas-
ed it as the contest progressed Every
man played in tip top form and field
goal after field goal was registered.
AL Shori dribblcd the ball the entire
length of the floor twice in the first
session and Tailed on both occasions.
The visitors expected an easy victory
I but at the end of the initial half they
found thmcslyes on the short end of
25-9 count
The locals worked as hard in the
second period as in the first Der
rick and Short presented a stonewall
defense and the visitors could not
penetrate the barrier. The Blue and
White representatives set tho pace in
the final half and Coatesvillc was un-
able TO follow The visitors seemed un-
able to solve Friends method Of at
tack and we're swept on their feet.
At times they passed brilliantly but
were unable to connect with the bas-
kct. They we're able TO advance the
ball to their goal but tho close guard
ing of Derrick and Short prevented
them from shooting. Towards the end
of tho game Eckman and Captain
Daley were relieved by Berl and Now
land.
The two substitutes were in the
game but a short while ana did not

Of tho day with six field goals ana
two fouls. Four Of his goals were
the result of long dribbles and his
afternoons performance was OF the
sensational order. Atbensop tailed
eight times on Short in the last game
but Yesterday AL held him TO lone
toss. Derrick contributed a trio OF
two pointers and was prominent In
all the passing. Eckman and Daley
gathered nine tosses between them

the opposing guards.

NEWPORT is BECOMING
AN AUTOMOBILE TOWN

Newport is destined to become an
automobile town in the immediate fu-
ture. Already there are several autos in
use, and before the Summer is over,
we predict there will be many others.
With our excellent pike roads which
extend in all directions from the town, :
and the magnificent scenery which is
unsurpassed in all the world, this will
eventually become the mecca for tour
lists from other sections of the country.
All of which shows the wisdom of
those who so faithfully fought for good
roads during the days, when to advo-
cate such thing was to be decidedly
in the minority

Thirsty individuals Pay a Visit to

Works.

Some time Friday night, individuals
who were thirsty cut hole through
the wire screen of the door of the New
port Bottling Works, unlatched the
door and got away with several good
fresh drinks of coca cola and other
mixtures.
Friday night was hot night, yet
these individuals did not seek ice to
cool off their beverage. They found
four or five old chairs in the rear of the
building and drawing these up to the
boxes which held the bottled goods,
apparently lay back in perfect comfort
and INDUCED TO their hearts desire.
Something like dozen bottles were
emptied.

MOTHERS GRIEF
FOR DEAD BABY

Tampa, Fla, May 10.-After kneeI-
ing in prayer at the grave of her baby
son, recently buried, Mrs. Maria Nor
terello, wife of prominent Tampa
manufacturer today poured wood
alcohol over the upper part of her
body set herself on fire in local
cemetery and died while being carried
to hospital.
: Two negro women passing by the
cemetery were attracted by the dying
shrek of the woman as she stood a
pillow of flame for a few seconds before
falling in the sand near the grave. The
negroes recognized Mrs. Morterello
and summoned her husband. A call
was sent to police headquarters for an
ambulance and when this arrived the
distracted husband with a spoon was
pouring water in the dying woman's
mouth
Mrs. Mortello was the mother of
seven children, all girls. The eighth was
a boy and died recently. This seemed
TO prey on her mind and it is believed
that she became mentally deranged.

MAI. BUTTS LAST WISH

CANNOT BE FULFILLED
Washington. May 14.-The wiIl of
Maj. Archibald w. Butt, victim of tlie
Titanic disaster, filed here today, dis
closed that the one great wish is i'm
possible of realization. 1t was that ne
should be buried in Arlington National
cemetery, and that the family name
might be perpetuated there by modest
monument over his grave. In his viii
the young army officer had set aside
$500 for this purpose.
Maj. Butt left his personal effects to
his two brothers, and provided that the
residue of his estate be converted into
cash and divided between the eldest
children of the two brothers.
In view of the disclosures in the will
there is strong likelihood that a move
ment will be started here looking to q
suitable memorial to Maj. Butt at Ar
lington, although his last resting place
was in the trackless ocean,,

THERE WILL BE
MANY CONTESTS
Republican National Committee
Called to Meet On
June 6.

New York, May 12.-The Republican
National Committee will meet in Chi
cago Thursday afternoon, June q, to
decide contests among delegates to the
National Republican Convention. The
call for the meeting was issued yester-
day by William Hayward, Secretary
of the committee. Indications that
there will be an unusual number of con-
tests this year, Mr.. Hayward said, had
been considered by victor Rosewater,
the committees acting chairman, and
himself in sending out the call for the
early meeting A few contests already
have been brought officially before the
committees officers. The time limit for
filing contests is May 20.
Mr.. Hayward also announced that
he would place before the committee
plan that will affect the representation
of the South in Republican national
conventions. The principal objections
to plans previously suggested, he said,
was the elimination of the congression-
al district as the unit representation.
His plan would change the basis of
representation, he said, and still retain
the congressional district as the unit.
"What we want to do if possible"
Mr.. Hayward said sis to get the COM
mittee together early enough to have
time to consider these contests deliber-
ately. The sessions probably will be
executive as heretofore.

Heaviest Docket of Kind I'm
Circuit Court In Last
Several Years.
ALL FROM THE COUNTRY
Rural Districts Furnish Each of
the Cases-Huf- Hixon Tragedy
Will Be Recalled In the Trial
of Andy Hixon-Two Women
for Killing Man.

Circuit court meets here next week.
and for the first time in years there
will be four murder cases on the dock
ct, all of which were committed In the
mountain sections of the county.
Another feature of these cases Is the
fact that whiskey is not mentioned i'm
connection with any of the killings.
The case OF absorbing interest will be
the trial of the aged Andy Hixon, who
shot Jessie B. Huff to death several
weeksago. This case, if it is not post
poned, will attract more attention than
any murder case tried in Cooke county
in years. The prominence of the dead
man and incident leading up to the
tragedy will lend interest throughout
the hearing.
Another case, which will be of con-
siderabls moment, will be the trial Of
the two Reese women, mother and
daughter, for the murder of Joe Davis
at Nough. These women are said
to have been engaged in an alteration
with Davis wife, when he interfered
and was STABBED to death with butch :
er knife in the hands of one of the
women,
Dillie Messer will be tried at this
court for the death OF young Gunter
following playful threat at Messer's
boarding house. Messer is out on bond
and it is generally claimed that he had
no idea of committing the dead at the
time.
Jessie Tino will be tried for the mur-
der of Warren Daniels. Domestic
trouble was the cause of this tragery,
Daniels, being alleged to have crossed
the sanctity of the Tino home while he
was searching for the remains of his
brotheE as a result of the BricevilIe
mine disaster.
Daniels it is said, boasted of his con-
quest and Tino killed him, Daniels
having gun on his person at the
time which he was unable to draw i'm
time to save his life.

.BUTTRAM OUT
FOR CONGRESS

ty Man In Field In End
.... District.

Knoxville, May l3.-At the congress
sional convention of the Hale repub-
licans held Saturday afternoon at the
courthouse, w. H. Buttram, of Hunts
willie, encouragement for the second
judicial circuit, was nominated. for con-
gress from the second district. Judge

this city, were named as delegates to
the national republican convention at
Chicago, while NJ. H. Hollingsworth
and Horace NJ. Smith were chosen as
alternates, and J. Will Taylor was
named forelector from the district.
The convention was called to order at
80 o'clock by James Maynard, Jr.
chairman of the congressional executive
committee. Col. John B. Holloway, of
Morristown, and J.Will Taylor, of La
Toilette, were selected as chairman
and secretary of the convention, re-
spectively. 1t was agreed at a meeting
at the Hotel Imperial Saturday morn
ing that these gentlemen should be the
officers of the convention.
Only small crowd attended the
convention, as by actual count only
forty-nine persons were in attendance
halt of these were from Knoxville.
Anderson and Loudon counties were
not represented at all, and it is said
that two or three of the other eight
counties were represented by proxies.
When the organization of the conven-
tion had been affected, Col. Holloway
made an address in which he attacked
the record of Congressman Austin, and
Judge Lindsay made aspeech in which
he lauded Col. Roosevelt.
Upon motion of H. T. Cooper, the
nomination of candidate for congress
was then gone into. 1t was decided
that the roll of the counties should be
called, and the vote cast for the close of
each county, and that no nominating
speeches should be made. On the first
ballot, complimentary votes were cast
for seven or eight "favorite sons" 1t
resulted as fOllows:-

When the roll of counties was called
on the second ballot, all of the dele
gates with the exception of the mem
bers of fthe delegation from Scott county
the home of Gen. Buttram and Judg,
Baker, voted for the "acorn statesman
who received eighty-three votes a.
against ten for Judge Baker. A motor
to make the nomination of Gen. Butt
ram unanimous was then adopted.

STREETS AND DITCHES
In BAD CONDITION

Special attention is called to the
Board of Mayor and Alderman in re-
gard to the walk leading from
Broadway TO the Sanit@ium. There is
no sidewalk on this street, and only a
narrow pathway is available for pedes-
TRANS to walk upon. The water has
washed away great portion Of the
street and as a result agully about six
or eight feet has been formed. 1t
seems that if streets and sidewalks in
.other parts of town are repaired, this
enc should have some attention.
