Southern Democrats
Want Bryan as Leader

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. II. - II reports

he believed. the Anti-Saloon League is
organizing in the effort to obtain dele
gates to the various State conventions
who will not only oppose Instructions
for President Wilson, but will name
delegates inimical to the President as
the next party leader. According to
these reports. the Anti-Saloon League
is working quietly to pick State con-
vention delegates favorab BILE to prohibi-
ton. and this naturally leads to the
conclusion that they will fight to have
William J. Bryan as the next Demo-
cratic leader. ~

One of the players hit the baseball toward third base just as the truck driven by stagg swung from Waterview avenue into Sherman street Young Klein was the nearest man to the ball and with head down, Intent on stopping the ball and catch ing the runner at first bases he ran in front Of the machine.
 The runner did not go to first base however He stopped and yelled to Klein to look out for himself. The other players shouted, but Kein,s head was down and he didn't pay at tention.
 Stagg saw the boys in the street. 14C " 1zS II sNS1A44e5 f1DOAl SA5AG Al1Ae53 f4u hour he said, but despite the slow rate of speed he was unable to stop the machine in the short distance that intervened.

NEW CLUES DELAY FINDING IN DEATH
 OF CAPT. EHLERT

Clues that may lead to other than a finding of accidental death in the case of Captain Joseph Eh1ert, whose body was found in the water, suspended on 9 rope tied to his sloop, the Demo crat," have been procured by the po- lice.
 A Headquarters detective and police man are working on the clues today and because of the seriousness of their anture, Coroner sPhelan will not make his finding until he gets a report from the police.
 As soon as something tangible is ob- tained by the police, if the clues de- velop, Coroner Phe1an will renew his investigation and may have to make a different line of inquiry.
 So farsf the only thing that has been proved in the case is that Mandus Pe- terson, member Of the crew of the sloop, is innocent. He has been exon- erated by Coroner Phelan.
 The coroner will probably make his finding in the case of Joseph Hill, the Bedding man held for the murder of George w. Higgins of this city. Clues that the police of Danbury expected tc prove important, did not materialize.

ROOSEVELT CAN'T TELL JURY ABOUT ALBANY DEALINGS Supreme Court Judge Gives Defense a Setback in
 Barnes Suit. TESTIMONY IS HELD
 TO BE IRRELEVANT Colonel Again on Stand As Bitterly Fought Trial
 Nears End.

Syracuse. N. Y, May 6--By a rul- ing made in the supreme court to-day Theodore Roosevelt was presented from giving testimony in regard to ssconditfons in Albany
 Justice Andrews decided against the defense after counsel for the for mer President presented arguments setting forth the contentious of the defense.
 Col. Roosevelt resumed the stand immediately after the court ruled, for cross examination in William Barnes suit against him for alleged libel.
 q don't care to have anything fur .ther to say to Col. Roosevelt ? remark ed MT. Wins with a. smile So, con- trary to expectations, the Colonel was not examined on his testimony of yes terday.
 Opening of court today was preced- ed by a Iow=priced conversation be- tween leading counsel for the 1itigants and Justice Andrews, MT. Wins leaning over the Judges bench and showing s Justice Andrews copy of a New Y ork evening and also of a Syracuse print
 When the conference was over, Jus tice Andrews reiterated his warning to the jury about reading newspapers. Then counsel began their argument upon the admissibi1ity of tevidence concerning local affairs in Albany. The jury was excused at the request o1 MT. Wins.
 MT. Bowers then quoted the Last question asked the colonel yesterday He argued that the evidence should be admitted in mitigation of damages He quoted laws, cases and decisions and argued that the evidence should be admitted in connection with the question of malice,
 MT. Bowers said: CT expect Col Roosevelt will testify here that ME Barnes bargained with one McCabe Kexpect the defendant will testify thai MT. Barnes found places in gambling houses for men to work. It is ques- ton of whether or not Mir. Barnes is guilty of corruption, as it matters lit tie Whether it was in the state U the oounty- It may be that Col Roosevelt told the truth about MT. Barnes
 MT Bowers then took up the state nnent complained of and discussed ii folio by folio. In rgard to Charles F, Murphy, MT. Bowers said Col. R,oose- welt charged that they were morally and politically alike.
 When MT. Bowers concluded, Justice Andrews said:
 -sThis is purely a, question regarding the Init1gatton> of damages. I agree with you that the defendant has 9 right to give any evidence which made him believe the charge, when he made it, was trae. He can tell any facts and anything he read. The evidence given however, must have. bearing on the precise charge made. It all depends upon the precise construction placed 1 upon the article. I think any informa- 1 ton which defendant may have re- ceiveds confined to county and city af- fairs in Albany is inmaterial.

EXPLOIT STATE AUTO REGISTER; ! PUBLIC SUFFERS No Registration Book Avail able For Authorities or
 Auto Owners. BALDWIN REFUSED
 TO SANCTION SCHEME But Secretary Burnes Has Given Free It's Publica- '
 tion Into Private Hands

Police officials, the automobile trade and motorists generally throughout the state are clamoring to know when the state automobile reg ister for@1915 is to be available. In dications are now that the publica- tion,+ which is in the hands of pri- vate individuals this year, will not be out for a month or six weeks.
 Immediately after Secrtary of State Charles D. Burnes assumed office in January, he turned over the pubfica- 1 tion of the book to a group of Hart ford men headed by Arthur Fffoot' i former chief clerk of the state auto mobile bureau. Secretary Burnes l announced at the time that the 1 change would save the state a whole 1 lot of money, because the new pub fishers were going to print the book. l without one cent cost to the state.
 Secretary Burnes told the public 1 that 20, GOO copies of the register would be available for free distribu- l ton at the customary time. In pre- l vious years, the register was distribut- 1 ed by May 1. The first proofs of the 1915 book haven't been sighted yet.
 Theadelay is caused by the fact that
 the publishers, in order to meet the cost of printing, are soliciting adver- tisements for the book. Business has l not developed yet to such an alarm, l ing extent as to warrant the imnedi- 1 ate issuance of the register, it is said.
 Police officials especially are en- barassed by the delay. They are, re- quired to use for reference the regis
 ters which were published last Fall l A large percentage, of the numbers
 have been changed and, in addition,
 there. are several thousand new cars l whose registration is not in the 1914
 book Constant telephone calls to the Sautomobi1e department result from the police investigation of many I automobile cases, with large expense to the public.
 The motoring public isn't taking 1 kindly to the delay, either, and the ] commercial aspect which the register
 has taken on doesn't make much of I a hit. Motorists who use the book I want 1t for ready reference and do not care to tote around book that is chock full of. advertisements.
 The awArdfng of the contract to private publish hers-who, by the way, l paid nothing to the State-was one of the first of many surprises that the
 present State administration has
 sprung. It is said that Secretary Burnes acted on his own initiative in
 this master which heretofore had
 been in charge of the Board of Con- l tro1.
 It is known that former Cover >nor Baldwin, during his terms of of flee. repeatedly refused to consider
 such a proposition He declared that
 the interests of the public would best
 be served by the States own super I vision of the register publication.

Successes of Germans
 Admitted in England

London, May 6-For the first time since the British forced the Germans from Hill No. 60 near Ypres the sol diers of Emperor William have been partially successful in their counter attacks and no advices to the con traTy having been received, it is as suned that the Germans still hold to- day the positions they obtained on the hf1l
 In the meanwhile, the German line to the east of IT pres is within three miles of the town. The British press does not seek to deny or minimize the persistency Of this German offensive but there is no disposition to lament the drawing in of the British front to the eastward and the nOrtheastWard of Ypres which was the only alter native to a successful counter-attaclS. Confidence is expressed that the new British alignment will prove beneficial in. view of the hard fighting which is expected.
 Nearly all the special news des- patches from. northern France and the Belgian frontier say the Germans are massing men for new assault in the direction of the French ports and as gas now seems to be a regular adjunct of the German attacks, the allies ex- pect it will play an important part | hereafter whenever the direction Of the wind is favorable to the Germans British observers of the war, sitting all the news from the eastern arena of hostilities admit this morning that the Germanic allies have inflicted sew eral considerable local defeats upon l the Russians on the west Galician l front but they point to the fact that 1 the entire front has not been crushed l as was at first claimed and that the stubborn fighting is proceeding.
