MANY WRITE ANENT WATSON
District Attorney Alderman is De-
Iuged With Missives Protesting
Against Prosecution.

MACON, Ga.-The wide interest
in the prosecution of Thomas E.
Watson by the federal government
on charges of sending obscene mat
ter through the mails is shown by
the many letters and religious pam
phlets that are being received at the
office of United States District At
torney Alexander Alderman of Ma
con.
The letters are addressed to the
district attorney and are from the
friends of Mr.. Watson protesting
against his prosecution by the gov
eminent. They come from all parts
of the country, and some of them
do not mince words. They take the
prosecution of Mr.. Watson to be a
concerted plot against him and look
upon him as being prosecuted.
Various and sundry pamphlets,
giving the Catholic side of the
charges that are made against the
Catholic church by Mr.. Watson, are
also being received in the Office OF
the district attorney from Catholic
publishing houses and from other
sources unknown.

FREIGHT CARS JUMP TRACK
Bad Wreck on the Central Between
BrOnwoOd and SmithvilIe. The
Loss Is Heavy.

Wednesday afternoon the east
bound freight train from Montgom-
cry jumped the track just this side
of Kinchafoonee creek, between
Brentwood and Smithville, eight cars
being derailed.
six of the cars were completely
demolished and are a total loss.
Two of them were loaded with cot
ton seed oil valued at $4,000,
and practically all of which was lost.
The west-bound passenger train
due in Dawson at 1871 in the after
noon could not pass on account of
the wreck, and was detoured from
Smfthville around by Albany and
came from the latter place over the
track of the Seaboard Air Line, ar
irving here about six o'clock in the
afternoon.
No cause is known for the cars
leaving the rails, as the track is per-
fectIy straight and in good condition
where the accident occurred.

this legislature will pass law pro-
viding for permanent registration of
voters. President Slaton of the SEN
ate has strongly favored that amend
ment in the law, and it has met with
such general favor over, the state
that it is believed the general assem-
bly, will not hesitate to pass it at
once.
If permanent registration is pro-
vided for it is generally thought the
matter of closing the books six
months in advance of the regular
state election will make little differ
ence, at least after the voters Of the
state have been generally REGISTERED.

MYSTERY REMAINS UNSOLVED
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN
BURNING OF MRS. JOHNSON.
COrOner's Investigation Throws No
Light on Tragic Affair. Silver
Money Found in the Ruins.


Light on Tragic Affair. Silver
Money Found in the Ruins.
The tragic fate of Mrs. Lou John
son, an account of whose death by
being burned in her home at mid
night was printed in Wednesday S
issue of The News, ig still enveloped
in mystery.
Coroner Marshall held an inquest
Tuesday afternoon, but the investi-
cation brought out nothing new, The
jury returned a verdict to the effect
that Mrs. Johnson lost her life by
being accidentally burned.
Public opion is still divided as to
the cause of the fire that cost Mrs.
Johnson her life. Some hold to the
view that she was murderd and
robbed of $3.50 in paper money she
is said to have had and her house
then set on fire, while others are of
the opinion that the fire originated
accidentally and she was burned to
death while asleep in bed. These be-
lieve that if robbers had killed Mrs.
Johnson they would have found and
taken the $420 in gold that was dis
covered beneath her charred re-
mains. Several dollars in silver she
was known to have had have since
been found in the ashes of the house.
This money was in another part OF
the room, and was found by the
frame of a sewing machine.
The bones and what flesh of the
unfortunate woman that were not
consumed in the fire were taken to

Difficulty Was Result of Trivial Ar
gument With Waiter in "a Res
taurant in Atlanta.
While in Dawson Wednesday Hon.
o. B. Stevens received a telegram
from Atlanta that his son, Rob Stew
ems, had been seriously cut. Mr..
Stevens learned none of the particu-
lars of the unfortunate affair before
leaving for Atlanta.
The Journal of Wednesday after
noon printed the following account
of the stabbing of young Stevens:
Robert L. Stevens, a graduate of
the North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege and son of Col. o. B. Stevens,
was seriously and probably fatally
stabbed in a fight which occurred on
shortly before midnight Tuesday.
Glen Billiard of College Park,
who was with Stevens at the time,
tells the police that the young man
was cut by Frank Mcdonald, wait
er in local cafe.
According to Billiard, Stevens
and Mcdonald engaged in trivial
argument in the cafe. The heated
discussion was continued until the
trio reached the corner of Auburn
and Pryor streets, and there Stew
ems slapped Mcdonald, he says. The
latter retaliated by drawing his knife
and slashing Stevens across the alb
domen.
Stevens managed to walk to a
friends apartments in the Black
building, and Mcdonald disappeared
Stevens was rushed to the Grady
hospital, where on Wednesday morn
ing it was stated there was little
hope for his recovery"

PILLAR OF CLOUD" SPEECH
FAILED TO STILL CRIES OF THE
OPPOSING DELEGATES.
Bryan Opened Convention With Fight
and Was Defeated by Parker
by Vote of SO to 5O6.

by Vote OF 67O to 5O6.
BALTIMORE, Md.-Alton B. Par
ker of New York was chosen over w
]. Bryan of Nebraska as temporary
chairman of the democratic national
convention by a vote of $40 to sos.
Before the vote was taken Mr.. Bryan
addressed the convention in an i'm
FASHIONED speech.
! Mr.. Bryan claimed the right to
speak on the ground that in
three presidential campaigns he had
borne aloft the banner of democracy
as its presidential nominee. Now
that the fruits of victory were at
hand he said he should not be de-
MED an opportunity to rejoice with
his party. The democratic party, "a
pillar of fire by night for the plain
people," now that the dawn has
come, should, he declared, be made
a pillar of clouds by day"
Mr.. Bryan made another point
which elected unbounded enthusi-
asm from his hearers. He said the
sinister influences which had been at
work in the republican national con-
vention at Chicago were operating
even more brazenly at Baltimore
But, he added, the democratic party
could not be run by the Ryans or
bought by the Belmonts."
Kern's Dramatic Challenge.
Mr. Bryan plainly was under stress
as he made his plea to the convention
to turn down the Wall street inter-
ests, which he said were represented
in the selection of Judge Parker as
temporary chairman. He advocated
Senator John w. Kern of Indiana as
chairman.
The latter, taking the floor from
the Nebraskan, dramatically called
upon Judge Parker to withdraw from
the fight and in the interest of mar
mony to throw his support to any
one of the half dozen progreesives
named by the Bryan sympathizers.
There was no immediate response to
the open challenge in the convention,
and Mr.. Kern then declared if it was
a fight to the death between the in
terests and the people Mr.. Bryan was
the only person fitted to bear the
brunt for the people.
In behalf of Judge Parker it was
later stated that as he had not
sought the office at the hands of the
national committee, and had taken
no part in the fight, he felt he had
no right to withdraw.
Mr. BRYAN left the convention hall
nv a rear entrance soon after the
vote on the temporary Craftsmanship
was announced and resumed confer
ences in his rooms. There he said:
Bryan Makes Little Comment.
"The vote in the convention shows
the attitude Of the convention, and
my speech shows my views on the
subject. / have no statement to
make. wait developments without
