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. BELIEVES STATE NEVER GRANTED TALLULAH This Is Report of Attorney General Felder. Atlanta, May 6. —Attorney General T. S. Felder and Gov.

Cases have been known of ba bies being born with front teeth, but none on record of a baby having Jaw at the tender age of two weeks. 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 of whom are anti-Blease, as follows: P. L. Lea, Burton; E. C. B. Mole, Hardeeville; E. M.

The music was by the United Confederate choirs, and there were a number of special fea tures. Previous to the meeting there was a big street parade through the princi pal streets of the city in which a num ber of brass hands took part. Gen. C. Irvine Walker of pharleston, S. C., commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, arrived during the day and immediately de nied the report that he would not be a candidate for re-election.

No busi ness was taken up as late trains pre 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. Sumter Veterans Go.

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.

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.

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.
