Gains Rapidly on Early Lead Established by Henry P. Merritt, His Nearest Com petitOr for Place
SECOND CHOICE
 VOTES WILL NOT
 ENTER IN RESULT
Smith Is Easy Winner Over Burr With Majority of About 70O0-BrOwn, Pel-
 ham and Bricken Judges

Montgomery, May 12.-(Special.) )-Sam P. Kennedy, president of the state public service commission, has been, nominated to succeed himself by a majority of 1264 votes, according to returns from every county in Alabama received in Montgom- cry this afternoon
 MT. Merritt, President kennedys closest opponent, was at first considered the winner, but later returns confirmed MT. Kennedy's election. The second choice votes in the Kennedy Merritt race will not alter the result since there are not more than 100 or more second choice votes difference between them.
 Merritt's largest vote was in Jefferson county, where he led MT. Kennedy by about 2300. However, Kennedy showed a strong lead in Montgomery, Mobile and other large counties of the state, thereby offsetting the Jefferson vote
 Kennedy's nomination was conceded this afternoon by Gen. Bibp Graves, chairman of the state democratic executive com mittee, who over the long distance tele- phone to Annston announced that MT
 Kennedy had won the nomination.
 Smith was easy winner over Burr for national committeeman, his majority be. ing, it is said, between TOGO and 5000 For delegates at large Rushton. White, Car michael and Denson were winners. Pel- ham. Brown and Bricken are the nominees for the court af appeals, Pelham leading the ticket. His majority over Brown was about POGO, while Brown lead Bricken by about 5000 The fourth man in the ap- spellate court race was Whiteside, who lacked 4500 votes of equalling Bricken's strength.

Government Thinks Appam Ptill Belongs to Great Britain

Norfolk, May 12.-The former British |wners of the steamship Appam brought |b Hampton Roads February l. by Ger ban prize crew. were successful in pre- |minary sparring when the hearing of he libel case for possession of the ves- |sl and cargo opened in federal court Eere today. They succeeded. over pro- ests of counsel for the German govern bent. in having admitted to evidence a |ommunication from Secretary Lansing D Ambassador Bernstorff dated March in which the secretary expressed the 'pinion that the liner did not fall within he protection clause of the Prussan-
 merican treaty of l799, as contended by
 ermany, because she came into port lone.
 The state department, contrary to what
 as heretofore been generally understood,
 xpressed the view that the treaty

 Anying prizes, but does not cover the

port. It was pointed out, however, that this was legal question that should be passed upon by the court
 Another point scored by the libellants was the admission of section 110 and Ill of the German prize code. by which the former owners hope to prove that Ger many herself has admitted that prizes of war cannot be admitted into neutral ports under circumstances similar to those attending the Appam case.
 It was understood tonight that the Ger man ambassadors reply, sharply com batting the position of Secretary Lan- sing, which never has been made public. would be submitted to the court later by the German counsel and that rejoinder from the secretary also might be put in evidence.
 The case will continue tomorrow. It is regarded as certain that the case ulti- matey will go to the United States supreme court, regardless of the lower courts decision.

trip. In Tuscaloosa, the secretary will deliver an address Monday night on 'fn- dustrial preparedness" it being his posi- ton that unless the nation is prepared in an industrial sense 1t will be unpre- pared for war. This subject is of especial importance to Alab ama-and the secre- tary's advocacy of that idea of signif1- cance-inasmuch as Alabama is anxious to aid the nation in preparing by furnishing latent water power at Muscle Shoals, coal and iron and water transportation for facilities at Mobile for shipbuilding plant and naval base.
 Secretary of War Baker informed Mir. Oliver that it would be impossible for him to accept the invitation of Tusca- loosa, but that he would request Gen. eral Bliss of the general staff of the army to represent the department This is taken to mean that General Bliss will become a member of the party.
 The distinguished visitors will leave Tuscaloosa Tuesday morning at o'clock, as the concluding commencement at An napolis makes it necessary that Secre- tary Daniels be on the scene wednes- day. Representative Oliver has been ap- of visitors to the academy and it will be necessary that he also be at Annapolis Wednesday.

ASQU|TH AT DUBLIN; TWO MORE LEADERS .OF REVOLT ARE SHOT Connolly and McDermOtt Executed Following Trial
 on May 9 TO HAVE MEETING
 WITH GEN. MAXWELL Proclamation Expected Shortly AbOl- ishing Martial Law-Hard Fight
 ing Resumed in Region of
 Dead Mans Hill

Dublin May 12.-(Via London.) )-James Connolly and John McDermott were shot this morning for complicity in the re- bellion.
 The official headquarters announce ment regarding the executions is as fol- lows:
 "The trial of two prominent leaders of the rebellion whose names were append ed to the proclamation issued by the so- called provisional government, namely James Connolly and John McDermott, took place on May g. The sentence of death was returned in each case, and the tsentences were carried out this morning 'shftsr continuation by the general com manding in chief"
 James Connolly was styled by his asso- ciates commandant general of the Irish republican army He was one of the seven signers of the proclamation issued by the insurgents at Dublin at the out break of the revolt. Connolly was wound ed during the fighting and was taken prisoner His thigh bone was broken by a bullet.
 It was announced in London last week that he could not be placed on trial at the time on account of his wounded con dition At the session of the House of Commons yesterday vehement protests were made by Irish members against the execution of the rebel leaders, and an at tempt was made to obtain an understand ing that there would be no more of them.
 ASQUITH REFUSES TO ACT
 Premier Asquth said that two persons were under sentence of death, and that he did not see his way clear to interfere with General Maxwell, the commander in Ireland and say that the extreme pen atty should not be inflicted. The premier thought it unjust that preferential treat ment should be accorded in the case of men of equal guilt.
 MT Connolly lived for several years in New York, where he was known as so- ciaist and writer on labor topics. He returned to Ireland about five years ago to assist in organizing the Irish labor party. He was about 50 years of age.i
 John McDernott was known to Irish men in the United States as one of the most brilliant orators in Ireland and as one of the so-called inter-circle of revolu- tionists active in the recent uprising. Au- tborities in this country on Irish affairs say that he was one of the original or ganlzers of the Irish volunteers in Novem- Der. 1913, in Dublin.
