STILL SUFFERING
 FROM WOUND
J. G. Hudgins, Who Was Injured By Negro, Underwent Opera-
 tiOn Here.

Although suffering from a pistol wound in which the the bullet tore through his upper lip, knocked out two of his teeth, pierced his tongue, passed through his throat and lodged in the back of his neck, it is very probable that J. G. Hudgins may re- cover. This was the statement issued yesterday morning by attending physi- clans, after the operation of the night before had presented an aspect of be- ing successful.
 MT. Hudgins was shot some time ago at Sherrill by negro who claim ed that he thought he was ghost in the night, and the injured man was brought to this city the following day and remained in the local hospital for some time. It was thought that he was discharged from the hospital. However, soon after his discharge, his neck began giving him much pain and he left for Chicago to be treated by Dr. Murphy the famous specialist. Dr. Murphy refused to operate on him and he returned to this city. He was op- erated on Monday night by Dr. o. w. Clark and his condition yesterday was reported as being improved.

"Good Men and True' De liberat5 But Short While
 On Graft Gases.
FOUR ARE CONVICTED
District sttGrney Whitman is Now Going After 'The Man
 Higher l7p."

New York, May G.--Former Police Inspector Dennis Sweeney, John J Nurtlia, James lussey, and James Thompson were tonight found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice by a jlry before Justice Seabury iii the criminal court division of the Supreme Court.
 The verdict was returned after th% jury had been out 32 minutes. The quick action by the jury as well a9 the conviction of all four men came as surprise to many. When the jury filed -out of the court room at 1:23 this evening, after hearing the charge by Justice Seabury the gen. eral opinion was that the 12 men would be out practically all night and that the indications were strong ly in favor of the acquittal of at least one of the men or a disagree ment o yer the fate of the four.
 The verdict of guilty marks a lona stride in the graft investigation con- ducted by District Attorney Whitman The case of the four former inspee- tors, now captains under suspicion vas felt to be the most important to be brought to trial following the lon,, list Of sensational exposes in wlc!, men close to the graft ring literally fell over each other to turn inform CT with the hope of saving themselves.
 After the verdict had been return el Justice Seabury ordered the four po- lice officers returned to the Tombs to await sentence, which will be made early next week.
 The indications were tonight that the four men would appeal their cases. But the fact that the district attorney has used extreme care in handling the cases and has appeared willing to exclude large portions of valuable evidence will render slight grounds for an appeal
 The maximum penalty which the men can receive will not be eXceed- ing one year in Sing Sing. The most important feature of the conviction from Whitman's standpoint, however, is that it will lead to further prosecu- tion on indictments carrying greater penalty.
 A number of other indictments are pending against Sweeney and the district attorneys office will now make every effort to bring to speedy trial the men under more serious charges. 1t is also known that Dis trict Attorney Whitman hopes that the conviction of these four men will lead to new and more startling con- fessions which will lead to the real man "higher-up'' who the district at torney has all along contended was the real man he was after.

All Conferences
Yesterday

Princeton. N. j., February 9.-Presi-
dent-eleet Wilson spent the day at
home. He remained indoors, though
there were few visitors. When the COR
respondents called for their usual even
ing conference he asked to be excused.
The report that invitations TO the
Inauguration were engraved Thomas
Woodrow Wilson" instead of Wood
row Wilson," as the governor has been
long officially known, was brought to
his attention. but he sent word that he
knew nothing about the change.
The family name of Mr. Wilson's
mother was Woodrow and when a youth
he was anxious to use his middle name
as a compliment to her. Thomas Wood
row Wilson" he has often remarked
since makes too big a mouthful'' and
to write IT. Woodrow Wilson" was
awkward. so he dropped the first name
altogether All documents which the
governor has signed in New Jersey
simply read Woodrow Wilson,"

nents have been practically completed

nit all the year round travel.
Gov Locke Craig of this state has ap-
pointed more than 100 delegates from
North Carolina, and information has been
received here to the effect that other
southern governors and good roads asso-
Citations throughout the south and west

San Diego, Cal, to Little Rock, Ark, a
distance of approximately 2000 miles. 1t

.F|REMEN FAVOR AN
IMMEDIATE STRIKE

New York. February 9.--The ballots OF
the $4,000 firemen employed on 81 eastern
railroads, it was announced unofficially,
show that 80 per cent of the men favor
an immediate strike unless the confer
ence committee of railroad managers
agrees to arbitration under the federal
E,rdman act.
President w. S. Carter of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men arrived here today The executive
committee will meet the managers COM
mittee on Tuesday. The result of the
strike ballot will then be communicated
to the managers, the demands of the fire.
men will be reiterated and ar offer made
to refer the differences to an arbitration
commission under the Erdman act.
President Carter refused to discuss ru-
mors concerning the result of the strike
ballot. The railroad managers in a state
ment issued tonight reiterate more posi-
lively than ever their objection to the
Erdman act arbitration.
They urge arbitration by a board of
seven members similar to that by which
the demands of the engineers were settled
last year.
