BULLETS FLY IN FIGHT
BETWEEN MOB AND COPS

Pottsville, Va, May S.-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 of 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 dispense. 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.

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 May 2S for a delegate-at
large from Georgia to the national
democratic convention to be held in
Baltimore, and, 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
a 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 preeminently 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 at
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 the state are anxious 70 go
and it is expected that there will be
quite a spirited contest at the At
lanta meeting. However, being a
strong Underwood supporter himself,
familiar, as he is, with all of the inn
portant political questions, acquainted
with the leading democrats in all Sec
tions of the country, Georgia could
not select an ADLER representative to
the convention than Mr.. Brantley.

SPEAKING
In OWN STATE
"TM BEING HIT BELOW THE
BELT" HE SAID YESTER-
DAY IN A SPEECH.

Portsmouth, O.. May Sim up
against the wall and I'm being hit"
shouted President Taft in a speech
here today. I'm being hit below the
belt and I'm here to fight" he COZ
tinued.
Il am said to represent the inter-
ests, to be under the influence OF spe-
cial privilege" he said
We'll. let us see. There is no ad-
ministration in the history of the
government in which the prosecutions
have been so uniform and have been
so prosecuted without fear and so
without regard to consequences. The
Interstate commerce commission re-
ported against Dan Hanna of Cleve-
land, that he was accepting rebates.
| put him before the attorney general
and the district attorney and the
grand jury and they found an indict-
ment against him. And loudest in de-
nunciation Of me and strongest in
support of Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt says I'm distrustful of
the people. I'm only distrustful of the
people as a court, just as l would be
distrustful of their building a bridge.
l would send bridge engineers and
people who knew something about
bridges"
Taking up Mr.. Roosevelts proposal
of the recall, Mr.. Taft said: "He is
in favor of innovations and changes
that would make the constitution
worth little more than the paper it IS
written on"
Mr.. Taft will spend ten more days
in his home state before the primar-
les of Nay 81.

WILSON GETS ALL
Of TEXAS VOTERS
BIG MAJORITY FOR HIM IN THE
PRlMARY-ROoSEV
ALSO IN LEAD. -.

Dallas, Tex, Map 8.-GoVernor
Woodrow Wilson won a 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 20 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 28 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; Cldr6, 43; unin-
structed, "a contested, 6; no conyen-
tions, s (votes).
Total votes unaccounted for, AZ.
Total convention votes, 623.
Roosevelt Has Lead.
Theodore Roosevelt will go to the
Texas state republican convention
May % with a good lead over Presi-
dent Taft in instructed delegates, but
without sure control, according to the
returns from two-thirds of yesterdays
county conventions.
Roosevelts instructed delegates at
noon number II and Taft's As. The
balance of power apparently lies with
delegates.

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, 1t
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 ii
tae defendant was convicted.
Later a new trial was granted in
the case and it came up for a 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 disregNrded 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

reach the hardest heart are heard
everywhere as the flood stricken in
habitants of the Torras crevasse are
brought in. Each party arriving has
some new experience to relate of how
they escaped the foods fury and how
they were finally rescued, but prac
tically all of them tell of having lost
everything but the clothing they
wear.
Most of those rescued near Nor
ganza yesterday and during last
night were negroes, but a number OF
white families were brought in and
among these was Mrs. Edmond Beau

who was compelled to desert her
home on Bayou Fordoehe, several
miles west of here. Mrs. Beauvais is
the mother Of ten children.
Eight of them lived with her. They
lost practically everything. The small

Mrs. Beauvais was almost crazed from

Scarcity Of Boats.

new Roads, La, May S.-The Tor
ras crevasse waters reached New
Roads this morning, and within forty
eight hours this town and the coun-
try east of here to Ravenswood and
south around False River, will be
flooded, endangering thousands of
persons who until sent from New
Roads to the country south and west
of this place warning the people to
fee. Ll.a iIMlSWTN
A telephone message was received
at $50 o'clock from Thomas Mix, a
small town six miles south of New
Roads on False river, stating that
unless boats were sent to that terri
tory Immediately there will be great
suffering and perhaps heavy loss of
life. q.
This is the most appalling flood
that ever visited this section Of the
state, and the scenes that are wit
messed daily by the rescuers are be-
yong description.
From ,Morganza north the water IS
rising an inch an hour, and in a few
days there will be practically no dry
land in Pointe Coupee parish.
The last relief train which possibly
can ever reach Morganza again left
there at 10 o'clock this morning with
$50 refugees. The water in Morgan

in many streets and rising rapidly.
Except for the epeople who elected
to remain to watch the work on
the levees the Breaux Bridge Mill
tary company and press representa-
tives, Morganza is depopulated.
At Livonia, fourteen miles south
west of New Roads, the water was 5
feet deep in the streets today, and
rising.
Captain Logan of the United States
army relief corps, was appealed to
this morning for more rescue boats,
and he promised to have an addi-
tional fleet of gasoline launches and
skiffs here early this afternoon.
Two hundred men are at work in
New Roads today building skiffs and
fiat boats.
The food waiers rose still more
rapidly as the hours passed and at
noon were coming up to the town
here at the rate Of two inches an
hour.
The report that another creyasse
has occurred south of Torras caused
increased alarm here and the people
are making hurried preparations to
move out. The women and children
will be sent to the east side of the
river without delay.
