ROOSEVELT INSISTS THAT PRE-
lDENTIAL PRIMARY SHOW
TAFT is WEAK.
CHANCES Of HIS NOMINATION
Roosevelt Says Tsft's Chances for
Republican Nomination Lie Only IN
Delegates who Will Misrepresent
the Will Of the People.

New York, n. Y, May 10,--A letter
from Roosevelt to r. NJ. CasWeiI'
chairman of the Roosevelt Committee
in Minneapolis, sizing up the s.tua'
alton, has been given out by the
Roosevelt committee here, saying in
part:
Nine states have held presidential
primaries or the equivalent. They viii
be represented at Chicago by 256 del
egates, 40 for Taft and 2l6 against
him. If primaries would be held in
all the states, there undoubtedly
would be no substantial variation
from these figures. Tafts chance
for the nomination lies solely in
securing at Chicago, delegates who
will misrepresent the will OF the peo'
pie"

u vital and necessary. Now you
may regulate the use of this kind of
signal but the signal you must have
for the safety of lif,.
The time has come to be fair to-
the automobile. 1t is everywhere in
the world. 1t is one of the greatest
civilizing forces. 1t has already left
an indelible imprint upon civilization.
and yet its work has scarce oegun.
Let's have progressive automobile
legislation, based upon liberality and
good sense. You can't stop the au-
tomobile. but you can regulate it
wisely. You can't do away with it's
danger signals, but you can regulate
them. Progressive legislation should
include greater freedom of speed,
more stringent penalties for reckless
driving and more perfect methods of
Identification. And in all this, the
nontmOtoring public can and must
do its share"

PEDESTRIANS TO BLAME.
For Automobile Accidents, Says Wis
consin Authority.

New York, May 9--James II
Drought. Of Milwaukee, author of the
Wisconsin automobile law, believes
the pedestrians are more often to
blame than motorists for the increas-
ing automobile accidents OF the day.
IF the large number OF pedes-
trians,' says he, exercised one half
the care shown every day by the av-
erage automobile driver, there would
be far fewer accidents.
II base this statement upon my
motoring experience long one
have covered over fifty thousand
miles at the wheel of motor car.
1T is my observation and belief
that dozens of people are injured
daily by automobiles for two reasons.
First, beacuse they do not use most
ordinary care, and secondly because
they do not get proper warning
of the cars approach.
Occasionally an irresponsible dri-
yer is altogether to blame, but not
so often as people think. Most often
it is the signal. 1t is too weak to be
heard, or it is used too late.
81 have little patience with those
anti-noise crusaders who aim to sup
press noise at any cost. Is the case
of the automobile signal the cost is
human life. Every person of exper-
ience and every person who will use
reason, must realize that a warning
signal must be loud enough to mean
danger. Whether pleasant or not it

the basis of representation, he said
and still retain the congressional dis
tI'ict as a unit.
What we want to do, if possible, y
Mr.. Hayward said, lis to get the com
mittce together early enough to have
sufficient time 10 consider these con
tests deliberately. The sessions pro

nature OF a recomnendatcn 20 the
committee While IS my opinion,
majority of the delegates to the con-
"ention had been heartily in faN or Of
making a change in that regard, the
difficulty has been that they do not
desire to abandon the congressional
district as a unit of representation.
The southern districts have represen-
tation in congress, according to pop
ulation, including the negroes. Then
the negroes can be disfranchlsed.
The natural result is that many OF
the southern districts have very few
republican votes, and yet, of course,
they have the delegates
Mr. Hayward added that he prefer

ARDMORE OKLAHOMA. FRIDAY EVENING MAY 10 1912
NEGRO SHOT DOWN
At UNION STATION
WOMEN THROWN INTO PANIC
WHEN ONE EGRO EMPTiED
GUN INTO ANOTHER.

Ladies and children were thrown
into a panic in the waiting room at
the union depot shortly before noon
today when negro named Henry
lkner shot and killed the porter of
the hotel Terry on the platform on
the west side of the depot building.
The negro killed is known as Rob
ert Binks. He had just gone to work
for the Hotel Terry as porter-in
fact this was his first trip to met
trains in this capacity.
Illner, the man who did the kill
ing and the dead man had been
chums. The negro killed had been
boarding for some time at the home
of his slayer. This is what led UP
to the killing. Ikner has been out
of town several days upon fishing
trip. He returned last night and
his wife told him, so he says, that
during his absence the ''boarder' had
ATTEMPTED to take undue liberties
with her and when she resisted he
resOrted to force. The husband arm
ed himself with a double action Colt S
forty-liye and went cunning for his
former friend, He met him at the
union depot where in his capacity he
had gone to meet the north bound
Santa Fe due here at IL Al. He ask
ed the man upon meeting MN OF
the charges that the woman had made
and it is thought the former friend
acknowledged the charge, but began
urging reasons calculated to show
that ne was not entirely to blame.
Ikner did not wait to reason with
him, gut pulled his gun and began
shooting. Bings started to run to-
ward the waiting room, but fell be
lore he had taken more than few
steps. The slayer had emptied two
chambers of his gun into the breast
of the other negro, one ball enter
ing the left breast and, it is thought
the heart The second
entered the right breast. After he
was down his assailant walked up
and calmly fired the remaining cham
ber OF his gun into the dying man
body.
Officers Henson and Thornton who !
we're block away when the shoot
ns began, came up on the I'm. The
negro met them at the corner, where
he depot platform joins the sidewalk
m Main street and handed his gun to
officer Henson, remarking that II
vas empty. He was taken TO the
;ity lhoIdover where Chief Braziel
,!dered him taken to the county jail
md turned over to the sheriffs Of
icers.
Officer Thornton took charge OF
he diving man. He lived but few
minutes and never spoke. Hsi body
las been turned over to the Bridg-
nan undertaking establishment anu
.n inquest will be held some time this
lfternoon.
When told by an Ardmoreite rep
that his victim was
lead, the slayer did not manifest the
east emotion, but remained perfectly
.ool and collected. "He done me dirt,
vas all he said.

DOzIER HAS
MARRIED The
CARTER WOMAN
ACCORDING TO Her STORY
DGDOUGment Reached in Sen
SatiORaI Affair

The marriage of Voght Dozier and
Essie Carter reported Tuesday
morning as having occurred in Ma
con. was somewhat of a surprise to
people in Americus, some of whom are
acquainted with young Dozier and
more particularly with his father, Mr..
Walter Dozier, prominent citizen of
Dawson and clerk of the court of Ter
rell county. The announcement yes
terday, however, of the securing of a
marriage license prepared the way
The reported marriage is the de-
noument of the recent sensational af-
fair in Dawson, wherein Mr. Walter
Dozier is charged with having admin
istered severe whipping to the young
woman whom his son has just mar
ried The marriage was subject Of
discussion in Americus yesterday and
created very little surprise among
those who knew of young Dozier's in
{ fatuation for the woman, a former res
ident of Dawson's restricted district.
According to the woman's story, she
and DoZier were married Saturday at
the house on Wall street, Macon,
where she has been stopping since
the f1ogging received at the hands OF
the elder Dozier and a party of his
friends at Dawson early in the sum-
mer, which affair created national
sensation. When Mr. Dozier was in
formed over the phone of his sons
marriage to Essie Carter his only re-
l;y was: I'VE did everything in our
power to prevent it" Mr. Dozier has
many friends and acquaintances in
Americus.
The marriage, it IS said, was per-
formed by ]. P. Burnett, a justice OF
the peace. Dozier came back to Daw
son Monday to arrange some business
affairs and, according to the state
ment of his wife to a reporter they
will go to reside in some town in
South Carol ma, formerly her home.
There is much specu' alton here as
to what effect the marriage will have
upon the suit for $4,000 instituted by
Essie Carter, now Mrs. Dozier, against
Mr.. Dozier, Sr, and the men with him
when she was str pped and beaten
with horsewhip welded by the for
mer because she refused to leave Daw-
son. Suit was instituted in the Unit
ed States court at Columbus, where il
is pending and scheduled for trial at

SO VIVACIOUS IS VIVIAN;
TOO MUCH FOR MINISTER
Atlanta Girl CuSSGd Out the
Order

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 29.-Vivian Faul-
kenberry, the youthful chorus girl
whose mother had her arrested yes
terday, proved too tough a problem
for the Men and Religion leaders to
solve this morning.
Because of the girls extreme youth,
when she was hailed before the po-
lice court judge, he decided to turn
her over to the Men and Religion
Movement. So Men and Religion sent
minister down to the police station
to interview the girl and offer her a
home. The interview lasted about two
minutes and thirty seconds. Then the
minister came hurriedly out with his
hands lifted in horror. ALAS" he
said 81 can not prevail upon the young
woman"
1t seems that Vivian "bawled him
out" and roundly cursed the Men and
Religion Movement as well, declaring
that she had rather serve her thirty
days sentence at the city stockade.
She may have her wish.
