Notable Gathering of Women
brmngham to Have Her Guest Group the Most Dis tlngulshed Women ill the World-The City to Put On
 Gala Attire in Their Honor
ny CHARLES H. MANDY

On Monday one of the most notable gatherings of distinguished women that the south has ever known will meet in Birmingham. It is the meeting of the executive board of the National Woman's Suffrage association. Its membership is composed of women of international as well as national fame, women who by virtue of intellect and character and devotion to the cause they represent have made themselves known the world over
 That Birmingham will do them honor is assured, for in honoring them Bir- mingham honors herself. It makes no difference whether d person agrees with their views on the suffrage question or not one must acknowledge the standing. ability and earnestness of these great and noble women, whose names have been identified for years with the femin- ist movement and who have fought an uphill fight so bravey and so well.
 There can be no question but that of the leaders of any other movement pro- mulgated by men, political or semi-po- litical, were to hold a national meeting
 
 would assemble to bid them q hearty welcome, especially if its personnel was composed of intellectual, high minded and progressive individuals. Civic bodies and social organizations would vie with each other in providing for them entertain- ment, and if they represented a cause that was high and clean in the charac- ter of its aspirations, press notices, not by the column, but by the page would have been freely given in their behalf and would in clarion tones have been proclaimed from almost every pulpit
 Not only that, the city would put on gala attire, and banners and streamers and decorations galore would have been in evidence. The leaders would have been received with bands playing and flags flying and amid the cheers of thousand assembled citizens
 Shall it be said that Birmingham will fail to show appreciation of the most notable group of women possibly that has ever gathered in the south? Shall it be said that Birmingham who will put on gala attire in honor of the semi-annual convention of the Antedeluvian Order of Angleworms, will fail to do honor to a, band of women representing the highest type of American womanhood? It cer- tainly shall not.
 Already some of the merchants have decorated their store windows in the suf- frage colors; already has the Birming- ham Board of Trade arranged for ban quet in their honor already have the ladies of the city helped, or promised to help, in the entertainment of the dis tinguished guests, but that is not enough.

LEWIS THROWS BOTH
 ALLEN AND GREEK {
Kentucky Wrestler Gains Four Straight Falls /
 Over Opponents

Before a comparatively small audience "Srtangler" Lewis of Kentucky succeeded in defeating both Gus Kerveras and Bob Allen last night at the Birmingham Attn letic club in finish matches, gaining two straight falls over each.
 Lewis took on the Greek first. To achieve the first fall took him 51 min, utes. However, in the second round he came back with a rush and pinned the shoulders of Kervaras to the mat in II minutes. Both falls were due to toe holds, kervaras surrendering in the sec ond round, being in such a. position that he was unable to lay down.
 Allen gave Lewis little trouble in the match. he gaining the first fall in IA min utes, with a head scissors and arm hold, and the second in 11iA minutes with sim liar holds.
 The first match was characterized by the roughness of the Greek and the sec-A ond by the clean and fast work of both Allen and Lewis.

WOULD ELIMINATE MUCH OF EXPENSE
 OF SECOND PRIMARY
Goodwin Hopes Counties Can Arrange to Use Same Officers in
 Both Primaries
By L. S. BETTY

Montgomery, March 6.-tSpecial. )--Not- withstanding the fact that the time will be too short between the date of the sec and primary for the short senatorial term on April 20 and the special election on May Il, in which to certify the nomination to the secretary of state, this difficulty may be obviated by the chairman of the state democratic executive committee, who is authorized under the law to pro- vide the election inspectors with pastors containing the name of the party candi- date, which will be placed on the ballots. Chairman Tyler Goodwin of the state committee issued a statement Friday morning setting forth the method which may be employed in arranging for the special election on May Il. The chairman of the state committee further declared that he thought the problem of filling the short senatorial term had been ad- justed in the best manner possible.
 Chairman Goodwin declares in his state- ment that he has great hopes that in many counties arrangements may be made whereby the same managers clerks and returning officers may be used both for the primary and the special election
 
 the second primary.
 His statement is as follows:
 The primary election law provides that where the time is too short in which to certify a nomination, the chairman of the state committee is authorized to pro- vide the election inspectors with pastors to be placed on the ballots, which pas ters will have printed thereon the name of the party candidate. Under this pro- vision, arrangements can be made in the special election on May il for the cleo tion of the short term United States sen atorial nominee, even if a second pri- mary on April 20 to secure that nominee becomes necessary.
 The state committee was confronted with a difficult problem and it solved the difficulty properly and in the best manner It could. I think the idea /of having the special election on May Il, the same date Tor the holding of the regular second democratic primary, a good one.
 T have great hopes that in many coun- ties we may be able to arrange so that the same managers, clerks and returning officers may be used both for the pri- mary and the special election. Where this can be done much of the expenses of the second primary will be borne by the treasuries of the various counties and in that way enable the state committee to make some apportionate return to the candidates of the high assessments made necessary by the two primaries.
 "I have no doubt but that the probate Judges, sheriffs and circuit clerks in the various counties will cooperate with me in securing these benefits as far as pos- sible"

UNDERWOOD WILL
 BE ELECTED, SAYS FORMER ALBANIAN
C. P.RichardsOn Visits State to Find Prevailing Senti- ment-HObson's Cam
 paign Strenuous
By C. E. STEW WART.

Washington, D. C.. March 6.-(Special.) Charles P. Richardson of Chicago, but of Alabama birth, stopping al the Willard in this city has just completed a trip over Alabama, where he went, he said, to find out the prevailing sentiment in the Underworld -Hobson fight for the Sen ate, because he felt so greatly interested in the contest.
 'sI have concluded that MT. Underwood will be elected though I fully realize that Hobson is making a vigorous cam paign," said Mir. Richardson. There have been some misstatcments regarding this campaign. Friends of MT. Hobson have said that the farmers of Alabama are against MT. Underwood, particularly those farmers that are numbered among the cotton growers. There could be noth- ing further from the truth. There was some activity on the part of a few persons connected with the Farmers union, but this organization is not fighting MT. Un- derwood.
 Picturesque Campaign
 MT. Hobson is making a. picturesque oamraisn and drawing great crowds, but Ee has no great following among the farmers. One of the most striking fea- lures of the contest is the reaction that has set in toward Underwood because of Hobson's personal attacks on the leader of the House. Hobson has carried his denunciation of MT. Underwood to such an extreme that he has lost, and is los ing, many supporters One of the strong est men in Mobile d man who had been mentioned as his campaign manager, recently declared that he could not sup port the Merrimac hero because of the latters bitterness toward MT. Underwood
 Tt will be recalled, perhaps, that in 1896, MT. Bryan had tremendous crowds so large that the democratic candidate was led to believe that he would carry every state in the election, and so de- clared, but when the voting was over he wasn't elected.

:=".~. Bear Cage. -

MAX" and "Jonnie," heads of the
black bear family in the Olcott park
are dead and hundreds of Virginia
park visitors who know them well
will be correspondingly sorry. "Max"
was the biggest Of the animals in the
bear den and with Virginia boys and
girls especially he had an intimate. ac:
quaintance. With the youngsters. he
was prime favorite and his droll
antics when there were peanuts or
candy in sight was genuine Joy to
the youngsters.
Postmaster Fleming, who has been
keeping watchful eye on the animals
at the park for the park board is at
loss to account for the death of the
bears. He believes, however, that
there should be a reconstruction of the
den at the park that will bring it
nearer to the nature thing than it is
at present. Other bears have died in
confinement there, while in most of
the parks Of the country black bears
live to ripe old age in confinement.
The two dead bears were the biggest
at Olcott park and both were especial
ly fine specimens.

THR0ATAN
WRISTS; MAYLNE

I. John Harri lies at the Mcintyre
hospital IN a critical condition as the
result of self-inflicted wounds in an
attempt to commit suicide. Harri is a
Finlander about 35 years old. Short
ly after his arrival at the boarding
house from downtown Wednesday
night the attempt to take his life was
made.
He was discovered by some of his
fellow boarders and the police de-
partment was notified. The emergency
patrol was sent out and the man
hurried to the hospital. He had
slashed his throat and cut both of
his wrists badly. Friends believe he
was suffering from an attack of
delirium tremens.
At the hospital it is stated that
there are grave doubts as to his re-
covery, the wounds being very serious.

served notice on the members of the
campaign committee of the Progress
sive league for retraction of certain

were served on Mayor Murphy, Presi-
dent Hughes and Secretary Whiting

TO
BE CONDEMNED
Proceedings to Acquire Tract for Yir-
ginia Schools Begin In Duluth
February Ia.

The initial proceedings in the legal
course necessary to acquire approx
mately 80 acres of land in the vicinity
of the car barns of the Mesaba Elec-
trio railway, by the school district of
Virginia to be used for school farm
purposes, will be taken before one of
the judges of the district court at Du-
luth February ID, when petitions will
be presented asking for the
appointment of appraisers to
appraise the value Of the land
proposed to be condemned. R. c.
Pickering will represent the independ-
ent school district Of Virginia. 1t is
not anticipated that the attorney gen.
erals Office will interpose further OBJ
lection to the condemnation proceed
ings, although it was fought by AS
sistant Attorney General Hilton when
the petition for the appointment of ap-
praisers first came on for hearing on
| the ground that a school district could
not condemn state land and carried to
the supreme court where a decision
was rendered a short time ago up
holding the school districts side of
the contention. Mr.. Hilton said at
! that time that he might desire to re-
argue the matter before the supreme
court, but the time for the giving of
the usual notice has expired and it
is not anticipated that further action
will be taken.
The tract proposed to be condemned
will give the Virginia school district
one of the finest experiment farms in
the state and course in agriculture
will probably be added to the curri-
culum of the city schools next year.

Falls PROSTATE Across Rails and
Is Picked Up BY Crew of
Logging Train.
Charge from Heavy Shotgun
Accidentally Discharged
Entered Thigh
Rushed to Virginia Where Death
Occurred at Local Hospital
Tuesday.

Fatally wounded when a charge
from a shotgun with which he was
hunting rabbits, and which was acci-
IDENTIFY discharged while he was going
over rough ground, entered his right
thigh, Charles Kaileo, a Finlander
about rs years old, Tuesday morning
dragged himself distance Of a
quarter of mile through heavy un-
derbrush and boggy ground to the
right-of- way of the Canadian North
ern railway. Through a barbed wire
fence and up a steep embankment he
painfully made his way to the rail-
road tracks where he fell unconscious
across the rails. In this position he
was picked up some hours later un-
concious and weak from loss of blood,
by the crew Of logging train and
brought to Virginia, where he was
taken to a local hospital. His death
occurred Tuesday night.
Kaileo rallied sufficiently at the
hospital to tell the attending physic-
ian how the accident had happened to
him. He said he knew the logging
train was due in short time and that
when he threw himself across the
rail he was consoled by the fact that
if the engineer did not see him in
time to control the train he would at
least be run over and there would
come merciful end to the terrible
suffering he had endured.
The charge from the shotgun took
effect in his right thigh in such a
manner that his right leg was render
ed totally useless. Binding the wound
as best he could Kaileo began his
painful trip to the railroad track. His
progress was necessarily slow and the
hemorrage from his wound steadily
sapped his strength, but by sheer
force of will he kept himself conscious
and struggling until he reached the
track.
Kaileo was a single man and had
no relatives in this section. The body
was prepared for burial at Gillespie's
undertaking parlors and funeral SER
vices were held yesterday with inter-
ment at Greenwood.
