WANT BRANTLEY
FOR A. DELEGATE
LOCAL coNGRESSMAN'S NAME
WILL BE PRESENTED AT
ATLANTA CONVENTION.

Congressman w. G. Rrantley, Of
this city, will be among those to be
voted on at the state convention in
Atlanta ON Nay 2S for delegate-at-
large from sOrgia to the national
democratic 4 convention to be held in
Baltimore&s while there will be
large number of candidates, it is
practically certain that the local man
will be elected to one of the places.
Many of Mr.. Brantley's friends in
south Georgia and elsewhere in the
state have mentioned his name in
, connection with one of the places, and
movement has already been started
in his behalf. While he has not an
nounced whether or not he desires
to attend the convention, it is be-
lieved by his friends that he will at
tend if named. He will more than
likely be in Washington when the
convention meets.
Mr. Brantley would undoubtedly
make valuable member of the
Georgia delegation to the national
convention Ranking, as he does,
among the democratic leaders at the
national capital, being familiar with
the tariff and other questions which
will figure in the coming campaign, he
is prominently qualified to render
valuable assistance to his party. No
doubt he would be appointed as a
member of the platform committee,
and there is not a democrat in the
country who could render better ser
vice on that important committee.
Georgia will have four delegates al
large to the national convention and
there are already a number of names
mentioned in connection with the
places. Many of the Underwood lead
ers in tho state are anxious 70 &C
-and it is expected that there will bt
quite spirited contest at the At.
flanta meeting. However, being {
strong Underwood supporter himself
familiar, as he is, with all of the i'm.
portant political questions, acquainted
| with the leading democrats in all sec
tions of the country, Georgia coulC
tnot select an ADLER representative t.
. the convention than Mr. Brantley.

MAN JAILED ON
PERJURY CHARGE
ORDERED ARRESTED YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON BY JUDGE
kRAUSs IN CITY COURT.

Charles Camilla, white man well
known in the city, was ordered ar
rested by Judge Krauss in the city
court yesterday on the charge of per-
jury. He was placed in Jail and later
was bound over to the superior court
under a bond of $500.
Camilla was a witness in the case
of the state VS.. T. J. Abbott, who was
arraigned on the charge of selling
whisky. At a previous trial the man
was the states principal witness, it
being mostly upon his evidence that
he was convicted. Camilla swore at
that time that he had, on more than
one occasion, purchased whisky from
Abbott. His testimony had weight
with the jury, and mostly upon it
the defendant was convicted.
Later new trial was granted in
the case and it came up for second
trial yesterday. Camilla was again
placed on the stand by the state, but
his evidence was entirely different. He
testified that he had never purchased
drop of whisky from the defendant.
He disregarded his previous testimony
altogether and testified exactly op-
posite from what he did at the first
trial.
Judge Krauss thereupon ordered
the man arrested on a charge of per-
jury. He was placed in Jail and
later in the afternoon. he was brought
into the court and was bound over to
the SUPERIOR court under a bond of
$500. ~

BULLETS FLY IN FIGHT
BETWEEN MOB AND COPS

Pottsville, Va, May 8.-Nearly a
score of persons were hit by bullets
during a battle between state police
and a mob of two thousand men at
Minersyille this morning. 1t is be-
lieved three persons were fatally
wounded.
The fight occurred in the central
part ibf the town, and grew out of
attempts of the mob to prevent the
transportation of mine employees to
collieries outside of town. When an
automobile appeared in which two
employees were to be carried the mob
gathered and warned the driver not
to attempt to proceed. State troops
commanded the mob to disperse. A
flying brick was the response.
Apparently quiet was restored.
State troops now guard the town and
are stationed at various corners of
the streets.

WILSON GETS ALL
OF TEXAS VOTERS
BIG MAJORITY FOR HIM IN THE
RIMARY-ROoSEVE
!. .
ALSO IN LEAD.


Dallas, Tex, Map S.-Gosernor
Woodrow Wilson won big majority
of the democratic votes in yester-
days county conventions. At noon
his majority was AZ over all competi-
tors, with but 29 of the states 249
counties yet to hear from, and no
possibility that the remaining returns
can greatly affect the results. The
convention on May % will overthrow
Baltimore.
These returns showed a contest in
only one county, La Vaca, which has
six votes.
Up to this afternoon the Harmon
and Clark leaders in Texas had made
no statements, either on the returns
or on their future plans. Among the
politicians generally there seems to
be little anticipation that the state
convention on May % will overthrow
the Wilson men.
The temporary organization of the
state convention is in charge of Gov
ernor Harmon's hackers.
Corrected returns to noon give
Woodrow Wilson AZ majority for the
state democratic convention and
slightly cut the morning figures for
Harmon. The results read:
Wilson, 354 votes in state conven-
ton; Harmon, 139; CLARK, 43; unin-
structed, "a; contested, 6; no conven-
tions, 8 (yotes).
Total votes unaccounted for, AZ.
Total convention votes, 623.
Roosevelt Has Lead.
Theodore Roosevelt will go to the
Texas state republican convention
May % with good lead over Presi-
dent Taft in instructed delegates, but
without sure control, according to the
returns from two-thirds of yesterday s
county conventions.
Roosevelt's instructed delegates at
noon number II and Taft's As. The
balance of power apparently lies with
uninstructed delegates.

families in getting out of the food
have not returned. The water has
risen two feet during the past twen-
ty-four hours.
1t is estimated that eighty people
have been rescued from the section
of Pointe Coupee parish in the direct
path of the Torras crevasse. Many
more remain to be taken out.
The rescue work has been badly
handicapped owing to accidents. One
launch caught fire, and before the
flames were extinguished it was put
out of commission. Several other
motorboats were of no use, owing to
break downs. Eight fiat boats which
have been used by the relief parties
developed leaks and sank. With all
the difficulties, 400 people were res
cued during the day up to midnight.
They were all removed to camps
along the Texas and Pacific rail-
road, south of here. Twenty five ne
gro children were brought in early
this morning from Norwood. The re-
lief party reported that hundreds of
others were still on the levees in Ba-
you fordoche waiting to be rescued.
Captain Wood of the battleship Ne
braska, which is now at Bayou Sara,
received instructions yesterday from
the navy department at Washington
ordering him to give every possible
aid tc flood sufferers. Launches from
tie tattleship will be sent out into
he flooded countrp today to assist in
the rescue work.

YANKEE METHODS

English Athlete Upholds the
American Style of Train
ing for Olympic Games.

London, Dec. Tsp. J. Baker, the
Cambridge athlete, has undertaken the
defense of the American methods of
training for the Olympic games. which
have come IN for so much condemna-
ton In England since the Olympiad
Americans against the charges of foul
ing their opponents, which have been
SO freely made.

have been full of articles proving (al-
ways without evidenced that the
American me were guilty Of every
foul in the calendar. Mr.. Lehman
was the first to formulate in it's COM
p%leteness the doctrine Of the divine
right of the amateur not t train. The
argument is this: No team can win
similar to that INDUCED in by the
Americans: such training is profess
sional in nature and in spirit: It re-
duces the games to the level of COM
mercial enterprises: We cannot under
take 1t without degra ding what has al
ways been for us a splendid rough
and ready sport into a business.

The Boxing Question to 60
To the Illinois Lawmakers

promote a bout. The McNichols bill
would place boxing under the care Of
each municipality, and would give the
mayor or police full right in the pass
ing on permits. The mayors veto on
any permit would be final.
Clubs Must Have Standing.
Chicago Athletic association officials
are considering a boxing bill along
similar lines to the one being prepar-
ed by Mr.. McNichols. Their bill is ex-
pected to legalize six-round no-deci-
sion bouts, with only clubs Of standing,
organized under the corporation laws
of the state, to have the right OF pro-
motion. While the c. A.. A. officials
believe that boxing should be placed
under police supervision. they assert
that a state commission to have power
to appoint a local guardian who would
act with the police.
When the three bills are ready for
presentation they are expected to take
er every loophole which would allow
unfavorable criticism. A thorough
study OF the boxing laws of other
states Is said to have been made by
the parties concerned in the above
bills and the best of every boxing law
in the country taken.
Since the recent election those be-
hind boxing In Illinois have made a
quiet canvass of the state. and now
assert hat a boxing hill will have a
good chance of passing. Those in
charge Of the bills claim that the
house is in favor Of boxing and that
the senate would vote favorably If the
proper bill was presented. Many of
the men elected to office recently
pledged themselves to the sport be-
fore election. and the boosters Of pug
ilism r counting. on these to lobby
for the game.
O'Hara Favors Sport.
Barratt O'fIara. lieutenant COVER
n%or-elect. is known to favor q boxing
bill for Illinois. IIe has openly declar-
ed that any measure presented in the
senate would receive his support. As
president Of the mex senate he will
have considerable chance to show the
boxers Of Illinois where he stands. Mr..
O'Hara. besides speaking in favor of
the re-opening of boxing In Illinois.
has taken up the sport as a pastime.
All three Of the bills contemplated
by the different parties would license
the sport, with the state deriving the
benefit under the Carroll bill and the
city in which each bout is held under
the other two. 1t is asserted by the
men behind the movement that the
game can be put OF 'cleanly." The
bill being drafted by the C. A. A. will
attract most of the attention, is the
opinion OF local pugilists.
