MRS. JAMES NJ. GUDGER
KNOWS THE DISTRICT.
Ut Great Assistance to Husband in His
Campaign Work.


The Washington Evening Star in it's
series of articles on Women Worth
While-Their interests, Frivolities
and Hobbies" recently had this to say
of Mrs. J. M. Gudger:
Many congressional women go CAM
paigning with their husbands these
days, but few know a district as Mrs.
James M. Gudger knows the Tenth
district of North Carolina. She is as
familiar with the names of its post
Offices as she is with the alphabet.
She has heard politics talked at every
cross roads schoolhouse and country
church at which interested citizens OF
this same Tenth District are wont to
gather for the expression Of political
opinion. And she knows the majority
Of the women and the babies as we'll
as she, knows the voters and the post
offices. All of which makes her a
power with the people who have semi
her husband to the lower house Of
congress for the past ten years. In
her husbands district she has a rep
utation for the greatest political sa-
gacity and for being an astute judge OF
rlen and measures.
Campaigning with Mr.. and Mrs.
Hnd0or docs Do% pooor dochinn fron1
town to town in an automobile by
schedule time. 1t means driving be-
hind a fine span of horses along the
beautiful roadWays for which Ashe-
| vile and it's environs are noted, and
the continual meeting with old friends
along the way. They have sometimes
teen out as long as three weeks on
one of these trips.
The same amiability which has en-
deared her to the country and town
people of her husbands district has
made Mrs. Gudger popular in congress
sional circles at the capital. She is
fond of social life and has the hospit-
able nature which is proverbial among
Southern women.
When in AsheviIle Mrs. Gudger
takes an active part in the musical
activities of the community. She pos
sesses a mezzo-soprano voice. She is
a member of the Woman's Club of
Asheville and is actively interested In
the Y. ". G. A. organization of that
city. In Washington Mrs. Gudger be-
longs to the Congressional Club. She
also finds time to keep up her D.. A. R.
interests. She is an ardent follower
CT the D. A. r. president general Mrs.
William Cumming Story, and is on the
Continental Hall committee and the
International peace and arbitration
committee of the national ~organiza-
ton. At the annual convention of the
Daughters, held in Washington each
spring, Mrs. Gudger usually repre-
sents her home chapter.
Mrs. Gudger laughingly confesses to
great interest in palmistry. Whether
or not this has anything to do with
her reputation as an astute judge OF
people it would be hard to say.

BANK DIRECTORS
WILL RESIST
SUITS IN COURT.
JUDGE DUNDON
is RETAINED

1t was learned here yesterday that
Messrs. r. B. Hutchcraft, E. P. Clay
pool, j. w. Bacon, w. w. Mitchell,
Harry B. Clay and John M. Brennan,
Directors of the defunct State bank
of George B. Alexander & Co., have
retained Judge Denis Dundon as their
attorney and will resist the effort of
the State Banking Department to COM
pei them to stand the losses accruing
from the alleged populations of the
President. 1t will be the contention
of the Directors that they did not
sanction the transactions of the Pres
ident which so badly involved the
bank, and that they had no knowl-
edge that there was anything wrong in
the institution, because much of the
paper to which Alexander attached
his signature was carried outside of
the bank and not through it.
Judge Dundon visited Colonel Thos.
J. Smith, the State Banking Commits
Sioner, at Frankfort, and he was in
formed by Colonel Smith that the at
torneys of the department were of the
opinion that the Directors of the AL
exander Bank are liable, and that
since they are perfectly able to pay
the depositors it is his intention to
compel them to come across" if he
can do so with the aid of the Courts
of the State, which he will invoke.
Until strict examination of the at
fairs of the Alexander Bank is made
by expert accountants, nothing can be
definitely learned as to the prospects,
of repayment to the depOsitors. 1t
was rumored on the street yesterday
that the State had filed suit against
the directors, but it developed that 1t
was merely rumor lacking fOunda-
ton. The tenseness of the situation
regarding the bank has subsidized
somewhat, and all the public can do
now is to await the statement of the
experts who will soon be at work on
the tangle.
Hon. John M. Lassing, of Newport,
ex-Judge of the Kentucky Court of
Appeals, has been retained by the
State Banking Commission to assist
John j. Williams, of this city, in rep
resenting the banking commission Gin
all matters growing out of the failure
of the banking house of Alexander &
Company.
Judge Lassing was here Wednes-
day evening in consultation with Mr..
Williams, Commissioner T. j. Smith
and Assistant Commissioner Rankin
r. Reville, of Frankfort, and Special
Deputy Buckner Woodford, of Paris.
Mr.. Woodford's duties are somewhat
akin to those of a receiver.

Alights.

VERA CRUZ, May 28.-Although
reports were persistently circulated
here to-day that General Huerta has
fled from Mexico City to sPuerto,
Mexico, to take passage on the Ger
man steamer, Ypiranga, they lack
official confirmation, but are generally
believed
officers of the United States forces
stationed here were so certain that
Huerta would take passage for Europe
to-day to much speculation as to
whether hew ould land from the ship
here. 1t was generally agreed that
Huerta would be perfectly safe at
Vera Cruz as he would be under pro-
lection of the United States, and the
same guardianship and protection
would be given him as was extended
DR.. A. Urruita, when a mob attacked
him.
Additional color is given to the
widespread reports Of Huerta's flight
by the fact that Huerta has not been
seen in his accustomed haunts in the
Capital for nearly forty-eight hours.
Still further circumstantial confirma-
ton is contained in the arrival here
of Carl Heynan, Mexican representa-
tive Of the Hamburg American line,
and the Brazilian consul in Mexico
City. They came upon a special
train aid refused to discuss their
errand.
Querido Meheno, former Mexican
foreign minister and political friend
of Huerta, is also Said to be leaving
the country for his personal safety.
Linked with reports that Huerta is
fleeing or is about to fee are indica-
tions that Mexico City is OH the brink
of an uprising.
PEACE CONFERENCE.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-Oficial
dispatches. sent from Mexico City and
received at a diplomatic source here
say that withdrawal of Huerta is
possible" and add that it is being de-
layed by the necessity of arrange
ments to permit the dictator to abdi-
cate with dignity.

BECKHAM THE MAN.

In the course of an editorial on the
Senatorial situation, the Nelson
Standard says:
The vital question now confront
ing the Democrat party of the State
is the man the Democratic should Sc
lect to be their to- dard-bearer for
Senator at the NJ der election, as
it is almost an ass, - thing that
such nominee will DC 10 next Sen
ator The choice SEEM 60 be con-
fined TO one of three mel, Beckham,
McCreary and Stanley. Who shall it
be? Are there any reasons of both a
public and private nature that should
influence a public-spirited Democrat
to vote for one of these men over the
others. We believe such reasons
do exist in a very marked and en-
phatic way, and point clearly to ex-
Gov. Beckham as the proper man to
receive the votes of the people on
this occasion 1t is not our purpose,
as it is not our desire, to say anything
unkind or disparaging about either
Gov. McCreary or Mr.. Stanley, but
merely urge the superior claims and
fitness of Gov. Beckham."

HUERTA TO WITHDRAW.

NIAGARA FALLS, May 28.-With
the land question satisfactorily ad-
justed, the mediators and delegates
were concentrating their attention on
the exact manner in which new pro-
visional government might be set up
to succeed the present regime. That
Gen. Huerta has formally indicated
his willingness to abide by the pro-
gram thus far outlined here is no
longer doubted. The effort now is to
arrange for a change of executives in
a dignified manner.

SOLID FOR BECKHAM.

A dispatch from BarDourVllle
Tuesday says:
Gov. Beckham spoke yesterday in
the interest of his candidacy for the
Senate. He was met at the station
by a committee of representative citi-
zens and escorted over town in auto
mobiles. Although this is very
busy season with the farmers, early
in the morning they began to come
into town and headed at once for the
Governor. BY noon large crowd was
here, and it was almost solid for
Beckham. A conservative Ultimate
placesGov. McCreary's vote at fifty in
this county and Stanley perhaps a
lone hundred. McCreary's vote will
stay with him. but Stanley's will grow
smaller all the time.
1T is wonderful the hold that Gov
Beckham has in this section. Prompt
ly at o'clock Mr.. Joe Campbell. one

APPOINTMENT AS
SENATOR RENDERED
To Mr.. CAMDEN.
Rumored Combination of Gov.
McCreary and Woodford
County Man.
BECKHAM MEN
VERY CONFIDENT
r. ?. Ernst, of Covington
Only Sure Starter on
Republican Side.

News was received from Frankfort
Wednesday that Governor McCreary
has made a private tender of the ap
pointment as United States Senator
to Mr.. Johnson Camden, of Woodford
county. If Mr.. Camden accepts the
appointment will be officially an
nounced in the near future. If Mr.
Camden decides that he does not care
for the place Governor McCreary will
not make public the fact that the
but will promptly appoint some Other
man.
The plans of Governor McCreary are
understood by his Supporters in Lou
isville and are as follows:
If Mr.. Camden agrees to accept
the Governor will commission the cap
italist as Senator until the Novem
Der election. In the August primary
Mr.. Camden will make the race fol
the short term, ending March 4, an6
Governor McCreary for the six-yeal
term, beginning March 4.
Mr. Camden is a man of immense
wealth and Governor McCreary's
friends are hopeful that if this pro
gram goes through the Camden-Mc
Creary combination will be able to
make q showing.
Supporters of Mr.. A. o. Stanley in
sist that the death of Mr.. Bradley and
the TACT that Governor McCreary
hopes 70 strengthen himself by filling
the vacancy will have no effect upon
Mr.. Stanley's candidacy, and that the
Second District Congressman will not
withdraw in favor of Governor Nc
Creary. In fact, Mr.. Stauley's hackers
believe that he is in a position to get
two votes for every one for McCreary
The friends of Mr.. Beckham are pay
ing little attention to what Governor
McCreary may do relative to the va
cancy and are perfecting their organ
ization for the August primary. Mr.
Beckham will make his race before
the people and his friends believe
his majority will run into the tens OF
thousands.
The only sure starter for the Re
publican nomination for Senator is
Mr.. r. P. Ernst, of Covington. DR.. w
Godfrey Hunter is still considering
the matter, while former Governor A
E. Wilson and Mr.. T. B. McGregor are
also possible starters for the Repub
lican nomination.
Mr.. George w. Jolly, of Owensboro
is mentioned as a probable candidate
for Senator on the Progressive ticket
