CHAMP CLARK AND ROOSEVELT
r ARE WINNERS IN MARYLAND
Speaker Has Easy Victory-, While the Former President
Leads President Taft Only by a Nose to Corral
Sixteen Convention Votes.
BALTIMORE GOES
FOR BOTH WINNERS
HARMON’S VOTE SMALL
State’s Delegations Vote Solid
ly at Convention.
Baltimore, May 6.—Maryland’s \l6
votes in the national ponvention will
be cast for Theodore Roosevelt and
Speaker Champ Clark, unless the few
election districts still to be heard from
change the result registered to-day at
the state’s first presidential primary.
The result in the Republican fight was
close and Col. Roosevelt on the face
of returns had but one more than the
number of votes necessary to control
the state convention.
The primaries divided the delegates
to the state convention as follows:
Republicans—Rosevelt, 66; Taft, 63.
Democrats—Clark, 72; Wilson, 44;
Harmon, 4; in doubt, 9.
Majority necessary to control the
convention, 65.
Clark Leads All Along.
The state delegates elected are bound
to choose a delegation to the national
convention favorable to the presiden
tial candidates for whom the people
to-day expressed their preference..
Speaker Clark led steadily from the
time the first returns arrived from the
Baltimore wards.
Early in the evening it looked as If
Col. Roosevelt would win by an equal
ly big majority, but shortly before
midnight returns from the strong Taft
counties put the President suddenly
ahead with 63 delegates to his op
ponent’s 61.
It was Prince George's county that
decided the battle. Both sides claim
ed its five votes until conclusive re
turns shortly after midnight placed it
in the Roosevelt column.
The Early Returns.
After running; second in the retfirns
early in the night, President Taft took
jirt in that count about 11/ o'clock,
of,Baltimore in and Jbut two
bounties missing he then had 63 dele
gates to the state convention. Col.
Roosevelt, according to the count at
that time, had 61.
A majority insures the vote for a
candidate of Maryland's 16 delegates to
the national convention.
In the Democratic fight Clark and
Wil3on were far ahead of Harmon,
who at 11 o'clock was sure of but one
county and four state delegates.
Clark and Roosevelt leaped into the
lead early with complete delegations
from Baltimore city, which gave them
each 2S delegates. Clark’s preferential
vote in this city was greater than that
of Harmon and Wilscn combined. He
defeated Wilson by nearly 3 to 1 and
the New Jersey Governor was ahead
of Gov. Harmon by 2 to 1.
Harmon Can’t Control.
The sweeping Clark success in Bal
timore was a victory for the Demo
' cratic organization. In the Republican
primary here the Roosevelt organiza
tion downed the regular Republican
organization led by Collector of the
Port William F. Stone.
The small vote polled by Gov. Har
mon removed the possibility that the
Democratic fight might be settled in
the state convention. Had none of
the Democratic candidates won a ma
jority of the delegates the delegates
instructed for the candidate with the
smallest following would have been
free to swing to one of the other can
didates and control the convention aft
er the first ballot.
The popular preferential vote was
lost sight of to-night and probably
will not be tabulated until to-morrow.
Under the Maryland law the affiliated
voters of the two parties instructed
the delegates to the state convention
by the preference vote of each county.
A majority of this vote in a county
Instructs that county's delegates ac
cordingly.
The delegates to the state convention
must vote as instructed for a solid
delegation to the national convention.

ANTI-RLEASE MEN
CONTROL CONVENTION
Jones Has Majority of South
Carolina Delegates.
WILSON FORCES LEADING
Convention Will Be Held at Co
lumbia May 16.
Columbia, S. C., May 6.—With forty
one counties heard from out of a total
of forty-four holding Democratic coun
ty conventions to-day, it appeared at
midnight that the supporters of Judge
Ira B. .Jones for governor against Gov.
Cole L. Blease would have easy con
trol of the convention which will be
held here May 16.
The Woodrow Wilson forces at mid
night had a nucleus of 38 instructed
votes with indorsements in counties
with a combined vote of 48 delegates.
The conventions held all over South
Carolina were in the main quiet and
harmonious, though in tw-o places,
Charleston and Georgetown, there were
contests resulting in splits. In both
cases two conventions were held, each
electing county organization officers
and fulj slates of delegates.
How the Vote Stands.
The results show about the following
on the contest for control of the state
convention: Jones delegates (men from
counties which indorsed the judge for
governor or men whose personal pref
erence is known to be for Jones), 115;
Blease (under convention indorsement
or personal affiliation), 36; uncommit
ted or unknown, 45; total convention
vote.33G.
On presidential preference the vote
if vote it may be called, stands;
Wilson, Instructed and from coun
ties indorsing Wilson, 96; Wilson, per
sonal preference, 23. Total, 125.
Underwood, known to favor the Ala
bama congressman, 9.
There was no other expressed pref
erence for President. Five counties
instructed for Wilson, and five indorsed
him. In addition Gov. Wilson has six
instructed delegates from Georgetown,
but a contest has been filed against
1 . «
On the gubernatorial side there is one
contest affecting- the standing, this be
ing in Georgetown, where the regulars
indorsed Judge Jones and the other
convention took no action with regard
to preference. The same is true of
the presidential race, the Georgetown
regulars instructing for Wilson and
the other club not expressing its pref
erence.
The fight for control of the conven
tion on the gubernatorial side is rather
a side issue, inasmuch as the real con
test will be at the primary polls in
August.
BEAUFORT CONVENTION
Five of Six Delegates Are Anti-
Blease,
Beaufort, S. C., May 6.—The Demo
cratic county convention elected six
delegates to the state convention, five

Floyd Alien’s first remarks. to his
guard .after his capture at the Hills

Your letter will be opened, read and

her private illness to a woman; thus has
been established a confidential corre

has the Company allowed these confiden

as the hundreds of thousands of them in
their files will attest
Out of the vast volume of experience
which they have to draw from, it is more
than possible that they possess the very

of welcome and responses. No busi

vented the arrival in time for the
meeting of many of the members.
Plan New Honor Emblem.
A movement to request the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy to discontinue
the presentation of “crosses of honor”
on the ground that many did not
take part in any of the battles of the
Civil War have received these em
blems of valor, was started to-day
by veterans already on the ground.
It is proposed that instead of the
classes of honor, the Daughters have
a new emblem designed and that it
be presented only to those who can
show by the records that they were
actual members of the Confederate
army and fought in the battles.
An interesting feature to-day was
the presentation of Mrs. Alex B.
White of Washington, president-gen
eral of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy, of the chair In which Jefferson
Davis was seated at his reception here
in 1887, when he made his farewell ad
dress to his former soldiers. The pre
sentation took place at the opening
session of the Confederate Memorial
Association this afternoon. The real
business of the association post
poned because of the non-arrival of
several of the officers.
A corps of 400 uniformed Boy Scouts
has been acting as couriers of the re
union information department and lit
tle trouble is being experienced in plac
ing the incoming veterans and visi
tors in the places provided for them.
An index system also has been pro
vided for the registration of the vete
rans, whereby a visitor can learn the
exact location of any of the veterans
attending the reunion.

COMPENSATION BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
THE VOTE IS 64 TO 15
House Has Yet to Pass on
Workmen’s Measure.
Washington, D. C., May 6.—The
workmen's compensation bill was
passed in the Senate to-day, 64 to 15,
substantially as framed by the "Em
ployers’ . Liability Commission and
amended only to increase its benefits.
The measure, sharply fought by some
of the Democrats for several days,
now goes to the House.
A number of amendments were of
fered but only a few were accepted,
and those were with the acquiescence
of Senator Sutherland, In charge of
the biil.
The principal changes provide that
compensation for accidental injury and
death of railroad employes shall con
tinue to children until they are 16
years old, and would extend payment
in the case of daughters until they are
20. unless sooner married.
In general the bill would provide an
exclusive remedy and compensation
for accidental disability or death to
employes of railroads in Interstate
commerce or in the District of Colum
bia on the theory of insuring each em
ploye against results of injury’ in em
ployment without reference to contrib
utory negligence or any of the rules
of common law limiting employer's lia
bility. It would provide medical serv
ice for the Injured and money propor
tioned to the pay of the victim. It is
the outcome of a long investigation
by the commission and was strongly
urged by President Taft.
In the long debate which preceded
passage of the bill many senators took
part and there were spirited passages.

Bright’s Disease
and Diabetes
Under the Auspices of the Cincinnati
Evening Post Five Test Cases
Were Selected and Treated
Publicly by Dr. Irvine K.
Mode, Free of Charge.
Irvine K. Mott. M. D.. of Cincinnati,
0., well and favorably known In that
city as a learned physician—a gradu
ate of the Cincinnati Pulte Medical
Oqllege. and after

The'Evening Post, one of the lead

hearing'of Dr. Mott's success, asked
if he would be willing to give a public
test to demonstrate his faith In his
treatment, and orove its merits by
treating five persons suffering from
Bright’s Disease and Diabetes, free of
charge, the Post to select the cases.
Dr. Mott accepted the conditions
and twelve persons were selected.
After a most critical chemical anal

been made, five out of the twelve
were decided upon. These cases were
placed under Dr. Mott's care and re
ports published each week In the Post.
In three months all were discharged
by Dr. Mott as cured. The persons
treated gained their normal weight,
strength and appetite and were able
to resume their usual work. Anyone
desiring to read the details of this
public test can obtain copies by send

This public demonstration gave Dr.
Mott an international reputation that
has brought him into correspondence

Hattiesburg, Miss.. May 6.—Nine per
sons, including three women and two
children were killed and 55 persons in
jured when the first section of the
‘"Confederate Veterans Special" of 11
cars, en route from Texas to the an
nal reunion at Macon, was wrecked
this morning on a trestle a mile south
of Eastabuchie, Miss., on the New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad.
The locomotive, baggage car, one day
coach and three tourist sleepers were
derailed and tumbled down a high
embankment, making a conglomerate
mass of wood and iron debris.
Though several hundred Confederate
veterans were aboard the train, not
one was numbered among the dead.
Several of the veterans were injured,
though none fatally.
The dead are:
Mrs. J. L. Cameron. Henderson,
Tex.; Mrs. Charles Holmes, Big
Springs. Tex.; J. S. Downing, Atlanta,
president of the Downing Locomotive
Wood. Meridian. Miss., engineer; two
children, aged 3 and 5. unidentified;
one woman aged about 35, weight 150,
unidentified; one man; aged 30, smooth
face, brown hair, unidentified; C. C.
Jones, negro fireman. ,
Veterans Aid the Injured.
The scene Immediately after the
crash was made particularly distress
ing by the cries of the injured. Those
among the aged veterans who were un
injured immediately went to work,
willingly assisting In extricating less
fortunate comrades, carrying them to
improvised hospitals in the few
coaches not overturned. Many of the
injured veterans did what they could
to relieve the more seriously hurt.
When the engine and tender left the
track at the short trestle they were
followed by the baggage car, day coach
and three tourist sleepers. These cars
were badly splintered and it is regard
ed as almost miraculous that any of
the occupants escaped.
Hattiesburg citizens from every walk
of life met the train which brought the
dead and injured here. The King’s
Daughters. United Daughters of the
Confederacy, the Masons. Elks and
other benevolent orders and societies
had active representatives on the scene
anxious to care for the veterans and
their wives, who were made to feel
they were In the hands of friends.

want to go as delegates to the Balti
more convention continue to come in.

delegate from the new Twelfth dis

Georgia's second choice for the nomi
nation at Baltimore. The editorial is
based on the ground that Wilson got
the second largest number of votes
in the primary, and says that the con

■'will have their mandate direct from,
the polls and that is to first vote for
Underwood and in case Mr. Underwood
is retired, for Woodrow Wilson.”
