TO PROP
WILSON COHORTS
Governors Supporters Said to
Have Pledged Unlimited Sum
to Prevent Starving Out"
IRON a star corresponasnt.l

" - ~ fo nANoBOtt4CfA-
SEA GRIT, July 2.-Fearing that
the Wilson supporters at the Balti-
more convention may be starved
out" should the deadlock continue
much longer, several wealthy New
Jersey Democrats late yesterday took
steps to provide for the personal ex-
penses of the Wilson voters who may
become short of money before the
convention ends, according to a story
told here last night by Joseph f.
Bernstein, a department store owner
Of Jersey City. He would not name
the list of contributors.
Mr.. Bernstein ran down in his au-
tomobile from his summer home at
West End and made the statement
to the newspaper correspondents here.
He said he would have $40. 900 with
him when he leaves for Baltimore IN
the morning and that there would be
$50, 600 in the fund later. Governor
Wilson was seen at once and said he
knew nothing about the matter.
When it was explained to him Mr..
Wilson said:
These gentlemen are my enthusiast
tic friends and whatever this plan is
1t is only another illustration of their
generosity toward me-"
Mr.. Bernstein was accompanied by
Samuel Ludlow, jr., president of the
Union Trust Company, of Jersey City.
who Saturday telephoned the Gov
ernor his personal offer Of a special
train to Baltimore. Mr.. Ludlow.
however. stated he was not concerned
with the raising of the fund.
Mr.. Bernstein, when quizzed about
the mount of money to be employed.
was ct first reticent, but finally said
he would have $4,000 with him to-
day and that there would be
plenty in sight" Pressed to state
how much. he replied:
"oh, well. say $4,000. One thing is
certain. we will have as much as will
ever be needed. We do not intend
to see Wilson's voters forced to leave
the convention before they naturally
would IL their living expenses in Bal
timore were not a personal item. This
is merely a move whereby the old
gang is to be prevented from starv-
ing out the Wilson men,"
Former Senator Jonathan Black
well. of Trenton. called upon the
Governor late in the evening. He told
the Governor he thought that next to
the Wilson men the Underwood dele
gates were the most steadfast in the
convention and that there was little
possibility Of their changing over
either to Clark or to Wilson.
The Manasquan Band gave the
governor a serenade last night. The
town is preparing for a big demon
stration In the event of his candi-
daoy.

were ordered to clear the aisles.
After Chairman James had ordered

demand for adjournment vas made.
"A delegate demanded the ayes and
nays and the adjournment motion
was withdrawn. Another delegate
put a motion to adjourn until II a. m.

Trouble started as soon as the roll
call on adjournment was started. Ala

by a vote of 7S1 to 26o at 12:40 a. m.

GET TOGETHER ON
 REROUTING PUZZLE
Understood That Committee of Mer- chants Will Be Able to Agree
 on Plan

It Is probable that a happy solution will
 be found for the street car reronting
 puzzle that has come up to the comn1is- sioners with Nineteenth street merchants pulling against a change and Twentieth street merchants wanting the change very badly.
 II was referred to a committee of mer- chants from both streets. and 1t was un- derstood yesterday that diplomatic over lures had been made, and some definite plans will finally be arranged whereby the whole matter will be solved satisfac- torIly. M. V. Joseph, one of the mer- chants on the committee paid brief visit to the city hall yesterday and while there said he believed the merchants would be able to get together on the question. He Is opposed to the rerout- ing and made speech before the con- missioners protesting. It is understood that the merchants realizing the delicate position of the commission on the ques- ton are anxious to settle it among themselves and announce 10 the comnis- sioners that they have reached con clusion.
 Prospects for such a solution provoked satisfaction from the com missioners yesterday, who are not spe- cially interested in the proposition, but wish to preserve harmonious relations between the entire mercantile interests of the city.
 A report is expected on the subject at the meeting Tuesday

DOUGLAS MAY GET
 JUDGE BLACKS JOB
Understood Five or Six Applications Are on File for Office of
 City Recorder

It is generally understood at the city hall that Alvin M. Douglas, well known attorney of this city, who has relieved Judge Hugo Black temporarily on several occasions, will be appointed recorder by the commissioners to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Black as announced yesterday morning.
 MT. Douglass Is looked upon with great favor by Judge Lane, who is at the head of the department of justice. The record CT is to be elected by the entire board, but it is believed whatever recommen- dations are made by Judge Lane will be concurred in by the commission.
 Judge Lane yesterday would not make any announcement in reference to the matter. He said only that there were about six applicants for the position, but he had not made up his mind who would be appointed.
 The appointment will be made at the commission meeting Tuesday and until that time Judge Lane says he would pre- fer not to mention the names of the ap- plicants. The position pays now s150 per month, but the new judge will secure only S125 to begin with. The last figure was the sum paid Judge Black when he started. The new judge will get the larger figure after some months of service. Judge Noab E. Feagin, who was displaced by Judge Lane and the commissioners, was receiving $3G00 per year when his office was declared vacant

ALL CORPORATIONS
 MUST MAKE REPORT
Collector Wright Sends Out Blank Reports to Be Filled
 Out


 S. T. Wright, collector of Internal rev enue for the district comprising Ala bama and Mississippi, acting under the act of Congress of August 5, 1909, which requires corporations to make a sworn report annually, has been mailing from
 his office in the federal building to all corporations in his district the necessary blanks to be filled out. These blanks are required to be properly signed and re- turned to the collector on or before March 1, 1913 and they cover the period from January 1, 1912, to December 3l, 1912. Any corporation failing to make such report is subject to penalty of from S1 to $10,000.
 All corporations. joint stock companies or associations, organized for profit ano having a capital stock represented by shares and insurance companies are re- ouired to make this return. Only those corporations receiving a net income of s5O00 or more are required to pay the corporation tax But all corporations are required to make yearly returns. In the past there has been some confusion on this point, corporations whose annual net income was less than $5000 assuming that they were not required to make returns. It is also the duty of corporations not re- ceiying the necessary blanks for mak- ing returns to apply for them within . reasonable time.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, October 19.-7 D. m.)
 Barometric changes have been rapid since Saturday morning, the general de- pression extending along the Appalachian highland, having practically disappeared into the Atlantic. High pressure has suc- ceeded it, with center near Lake Michi- gan and outer limits extending to the middle Atlantic coast, and nearly to the gulf. There is yet very shallow low in the gulf of Mexico
 With the rising pressure has come gen. eral clearing conditions as far east as the Appalachian mountains, and only cloudy weather was noted on the Atlantic seaboard at p. m. Saturday, except at Jacksonville, Fla, where a light rain was falling.
 It was decidedly cooler and nearly clear skies prevailed around the center of the high in the Lake Michigan section. It was 10 or F degrees cooler on its eastern side, and degrees cooler as far south as Tennessee. A slight fall is noted in North Alabama Nearly stationary tenn peratures prevailed along the south At lantic and gulf coasts.
 Fair and pleasant weather will be ex- perienced in Alabama Sunday, with very little change in the temperature.

PARSONS WAS COOL
 DURING THE AFT AIR
c. B. Powell, an Eye Wit ness, Describes Shooting
BOTTLES
THROWN
Says Parsons Was Perfect Master of Himself-Iniustice Done Con- stable in the First
 Reports

Attorney C. B. Powell, who was an eye witness yesterday gave additional details of the shooting in the Green wood cafe Friday night indicating that an injustice was done Constable NJ. w Parsons in the first account of the affair.
 MT. Parsons was sitting directly across the counter from me" said MT Powell "and the statement that he was intoxicated is absurd. never saw man more cool and collected and perfect master of himself.
 My attention was first attracted to the trouble when I heard a water glass or something strike the wall or floor. This was thrown at Mir Parsons by the Greek and the constable in throw ing up his hand to ward it off had his right thumb dislocated
 Parsons was trying to reach over the counter after the Greek. who con tinued to throw glasses and catsup bottles at him. I noticed that it was not until the waiter reached the rear of the store, still firing Various missiles, that Parsons took-his pistol out and fired with his left hand. I did not learn until afterward that his thumb had been dislocated and that he could not use his right hand
 T also did not know until after ward that Parsons had earlier in the day caused the arrest of a friend of this Greek waiter and that this may in measure have accounted for the walters insolence when Parsons asked him for bill of fare.
 T want to make this statement ir justice to Parsons, who was certainly cool and master of himself throughout the whole affair."
 II feel sure Parsons made no threat against the Creeks life because l was sitting very close to them. Parsons rose when the first glass was thrown at him and from that time until the Greek got to the rear of the store he was trying to reach oyer the counter and get hold of the waiter. It was mistake to say that any blood was smeared around. The walls in cou- lile of places were plastered with cat sup from broken bottles, but l think no one would have mistaken that for blood"
