DOKEYS LEAVE
FOR JACKSON
Fifty Dokeys Left Fer Jackson Last
Night In Special Pullman.

Today Columbus largest represen-
tation at a fraternal event is attending
the big State ceremonial Of the Dokeys
in Jackson.
Fifty members of Saladin Temple
No. 142, Dramatic Order, Knights of
Khorassan, left last night at IL
o'clock in a special Pullman for the
Capital City.
Joy resigned supreme in the ranks
of the Dokeys and they are going
to put on a big show in Jackson to-
day. They went loaded with all kinds
of literature and with the pep and en-
thusiasm characteristics of Dokeys.
They will certainly put Columbus
on the map on the occasion of their
appearance in Jackson for they are
going to be the whole show at the
Capital City ceremonial. The Colum-
bus team will stage the entire eere-
monial, executing all of the dramatic
and floor work and the Brigand Team
will be the feature of the big spec
tacular parade which will be parade
of the days program.

Ever since the management of the
railroad systems went back to private
control there have been rumors of
changes in the management and OPP
Grafton of the Southern and NJ. 4 O..
roads, which have had disquieting
effect upon the people of this city.
They resulted from the change in
management, and they were Of such
radical nature as to give widespread
concern to the whole community.
One of these rumors was circulated
with such persistency that The Dis
patch undertook to verify or refute it
by going direct to headquarters with
the same. The rumor was to the ef-
feet that the NJ. & o. and Southern
shops in this city and at Tuscaloosa,
Artesia and 0kolona. were to be con
centrated at West Point, as an eco
nomic measure. What it meant to
Columbus would readily be perceived,
for the Southern shops here have been
a fixture ever since the Southern road
was constructed, and the people Of
this city have right to believe that

this road in the hundred thousand dol

The attorney general, stressing the
point that the activities Of the week

sentiment favorable to good roads,
also expressed the unique wish that

Palmer, in his statement, said in part:
"Good highways are essential to

and carrying out of the plans laid
down by the fathers for "a more per-

have the power awaiting in our rivers,

Lighted highways will have doubled

POLITICAL VOTE
UP TO DATE
No Party Will Nominate on First
Ballot; Woods Leading
Republican.

New York, May 11.-Granting even
the most optimistic claims of cam
paign managers, there appears to be
no possibilities of choice for the Re-
publican presidential nominee on the
first ballot at the Chicago convention.
At present Leonard Wood is leading
his rivals, both as regards instructed
delegates and claims to unpledged
delegates. His total is 245, to $50 for
Senator Hiram Johnson and 145 for
Gov. Frank D. Lowden.
There remain 165 to the 984 Repub-
lican delegates to be selected. Even
if Wood should win every one of these
regarded by his own managers as
impossible-he would have 410 dele
gates. A total of 493 is necessary for
choice.
Chief events on the Republican
schedule: Monday, Illinois state con-
vention, eight delegates at large;
Wyoming state convention, six.
May 18-Pennsylvania primary, 76
delegates; Vermont primary, eight
delegates.
| May 21-0regon primary, 10 dele
gates.
May 25-Texas state convention, %
delegates; West Virginia primary, 16
delegates.
According to present Indications,
Pennsylvania will cast its first ballot
for Gov. William Sproul. The Wood
organization has been working in that
state for weeks, however, and hopes
to split the delegation after that. En-
trance of Senator Philander c. Knox
into the race for the nomination has
complicated the situation not only in
Pennsylvania, but iQ the entire coun-
try.
Wood, Johnson, Lowden and Her

MIR. EVERETT CUMMINGS
FIRES TWO BULLETS
INTO BODY OF
BROTHER.
MAY NOT BE FATAL
Shooting Occurred In Country
Monday Night About Ten
O'clock; In Custody
Of The Police.

Mr.. Everette Cummings shot and
seriously wounded his brother, Mr..
Richard Cummings Monday night
about 10 o'clock at the country place
of their father, Judge 7. M. Cum
mings, three miles East of Colum-
bus.
More or less mystery surrounds the
affair. Mr.. Cummings who did the
shooting claims to have no recollec-
tion of the affray and memory is
blank about the whole affair. How
ever, soon after the shooting OCCUR
red he came to Columbus and gave
himself up to Chief of Police Cook.
Mr.. Cummings who was the victim
of his brothers fire, sustained two
wounds, one in the left arm and an
other in the left side. The bullet
ranged in the direction of the stom-
ach. 1t was small calibre pistol and
lodged somewhere in the young mans
abdomen.
Physicians had not located the bull
let yesterday afternoon and the ex-
tent or seriousness of the young mans
wounds is not known. He was rest
ing easily late in the evening yester-
day.
Mr.. Cummings came to police head
quarters soon after the shooting Mon
day night and gave himself up to the
authorities. The shooting occurred
outside the city limits and the sheriff
yesterday refused to take over the
prisoner without a warrant, and the
police officials were in a quandry for
awhile as to what course to pursue.
It was finally decided that Justice
Of the Peace Mcclellan in whose dis
trict the shooting occurred should
take charge of the case and give the
young man a hearing. He is being
held pending action by Justice Nc
Kellar.
It is said that Mr.. Richard Cum
mings told officers that the shooting
was accidental and that it was not
the result of any personal difficulty or
friction between himself and his bro
thor.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr..
Cummings voluntarily agreed to give
himself up to the sheriff, and he was
released from the custody of the
police. He is now a charge of the
sheriff pending preliminary hearing.

CAMPAIGN In ALA.
ENDED MONDAY
Two Senators And Many Other
Officers To BE Voted On
Tuesday.

Birmingham, Ala, May 11.-Dem-
ocratic voters of Alabama in the pri-
mary election today nominated
two candidates for United States Sen
ator, presidential electors, delegates
to the national convention at San
Francisco, national committeeman,
president of the public service COM
mission, judge of the Court of Ap-
peals, State commissioners of con-
servation and many other aspirants
for county and local offices.
The contests for the two senator
ships have furnished one of the most
interesting chapters in Alabama's po-
litical history.
Prohibition has been the only ma
tional issue to play an important part
in the campaign, but local questions
have developed bitter feeling and all
candidates have made speaking tours
which carried them into the fathest
corners of the State.
At the outset there were five can
didates for the short-term senatorship
to fill the seat made vacant by the
death of Senator Bankhead, but DR.
John w. Abercrombie withdrew sew
eral weeks ago leaving Representative
j. Thomas Heflin, former Governor
O'Neal, Captain Frank White and Ray
Rushton.
Declares Against Prohi
Hardly had the contest opened wher
Mr.. O'Neal declared for change II
the Federal prohibition amendment
permitting the sale, Of light wines ant
beer. He declared the dry law was &
clear invasion of states rights, that
it ignored the sovereignty of eacf
member of the union and that its pro
visions would result in the appearance
of a great number Of government
"spies and informers' who would de
stroy the home life of the people b!
search and seizure methods.
The three other candidates defend
ed the amendment. Captain White op
posed O'Neal in a series Of joint de
bates; Representative Hehin, VIII
made his appeal principally upon hi
record in Congress, declared the stat
prohibition law would prevent the sal
of wine and beer even if the Fedora
amendment were wiped off the statut
books. and Ray Rushton ridiculed tn

The Dispatch presented the matter
to Mr.. F. +. Norris, the new vice
president Of the NJ. & o., and we are
glad to reproduce his letter touching
on this matter as being conclusive of
the roads policy. Here is what Mr..
Norris says in letter to the editor
Of this paper:
No Foundation Whatever.
There is no foundation whatever
for the rumors you advise are cur
rent, that it is our purpose to concen-
trate our car and locomotive shops at
West Point or elsewhere. We have
no such plans in mind; and, as a
matter of fact, have not the capital
to bring about such a change even if
ii were considered desirable or eco
nomical. You are, therefore, at lib
erty to deny the statement"
Should Settle 1t.
This should settle the matter and
allay any apprehension which may
have arisen as a result Of these
reports.
