The executive committee of the Geor
ria Farmers’ union is believed to have
net Thursday at the Henderson hotel and
iischarged one of its officials alleged to
lave taken political bribes. No official
Manfirmation has been secured from any
M the committee, but there seems to
se no doubt that there was a meet!tut of
the committee at the Henderson hotel
ind that an official was discharged.
It is laid that his trial lasted for sev
eral hours that there were a number of
witnesses and that stenographic notes
>f their testimony are voluminous.
The trial and discharge are said to
lave resulted from discoveries made by
President John L Lee. It is said that
se has unearthed a scheme of certain
officials of the union to put the union

There was almost consternation among
the executive committee when evidence
was produced that convicted the dis
charged official. The vote of the com
mittee was unanimously for his dis
charge. I
NEW YORK STATeIn'
FIGHT ON NOMINATIONS
ALBANY. N. Y-. May The legislative
tattle over the question of direct nominations
for New York state promises to jrezk In the
state legislature this week and the outcome
Is eee of doubt and uncertainty.
The few peeitmlnary skirminshes which have
marked the session thus far have failed to
develop the strength of the followers of the
rartons primary measures under consideration
and the sodden appearance of a so-called com
gram Ise bill has only added to the perplexities
*f the situation.
Four hostile armies are now encamped at the
Capital waiting for the fray. The supporters
of the policies of Governor Hughes are rally
ing around the standard of the "Hinman
Green" direct nominations Mil: the Republican
••organization" mem tiers are preparing to risk
their political lives for the ••Meade-Phillips"
nwasure drafted by a committee which investl
- gated the direct primary system in several
States: the Democrats are supporting the Demo
cratic league bill, and stragglers from the rival
camps are tacking the “Cobb compromise" bill,
which abolishes intermediate conventions and
provides for tbe nomination of state senators
and assemblymen at tbe primaries.
ODORS INPALOS MINE
DELAYS WORK OF RESCUE
BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. May 7.—The dis
covery of a small fire in No. 4 right entry
at the Palos mines where Thursday's dis
astrous explosion occurred has seriousiy
bampered the rescue work today. When
the fire was discovered all rescuers were
ordered out of the mine and alarming re
ports were circulated about condition of
the interior. It was found later taht the
Ore was not larger than a man's hat. but
it had caused much smoke and several
hours were lost before work could be re
sumed in earnest •
For a short time there appeared to be
some little friction among the men in
charge of the rescuers, but everything
was going smoothly tonight.
While only about 35 bodies have been
brought out up to this hour, the men
are still working with vigor. They are
now having trouble with the terrible
odors arising from decomposing mule
flesh A number of the animals were
worked In the mine and all were killed.
As the bodies of the human victims have
now been In the mine unattended for over
43 hours, some of them are found to be
very badly decomposed.
• The Red Cross relief fund is still grow
ing and the response in Birmingham has
been remarkably spontaneous.

"I learn with emotion of the death of
your beloved father. The French gov- 1
ernment and the French people will re- 1
gret profoundly the demise of the au

Keep the Balance Up.
It has been truthfully said that any dis
turbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up. When
people begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence brings
on sickness, weakness, or debility. The
system needs a tonic, craves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowledge
is Hood's Sarsaparilla. What this medi
cine has done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it the same distinction
as a preventive that it enjoys as a cure.
Its early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that a stitch in time
saves nine. Take Hood's for appetite,
strength, and endurance.
AUTO CUTS POLEINTWO:
DRIVER GOES OVER WIRE
SAVANNAH. Ga., May Joe Hull.
Jr., and Fort Hammond, two very well
known young Savannah men, were in
jured last night in an automobile acci
dent on the Old Thunderbolt road while,
is stated, they were racing with an
other automobile.
It was stated that Hammond and
Hull's car was in the others dust; that
the man at the wheel could not see his
course very plainly and headed into a
telegraph pole.
The pole was cut oft short and the au
tomobile reduced to scraps.
A negro eye witness declares that
Hammond went over a telegraph wire
into an adjoining field. He and Hull are
at the Savannah hospital, where, it Is
said, Hull has several bones broken in
his foot and his collar bone is broken.
Hammond seems not to have even been
that badly hurt.

Roosevelt Sends Message
BERLIN, May 7-David J Hill, the
American ambassador, has received a tel
egram from Colonel Roosevelt asking him
to express to the emperor hia sympathies
in the death of King Edward and sug
gesting that it might be thought best to
modify the program as arranged for hi*
entertainment in Berlin, which modifica
tion he would felly understand.
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GEORGIA. TUESDAY. MAY 10, 1910.
ROOSEVELT PRAISES
KING EDWARD'S TACT
Recalls Miniature Monarch
Gave Him —Has Quiet Day
in Stockholm
STOCKHOLM, May 7,-Ex-President
Roosevelt, who arrived here today, was
gieatly shocked when he learned
of King Edward's death. What effect it
will have on his London plans he cannot
for the present say, but It is his intention
tr- go to Berlin and complete his itinerary
as announced.
Colonel Roosevelt today sent a mes
sage to Ambassador Hill inquiring if
King Edward's death would necessitate
a change in the emperor s plans, desiring
to be advised should the emperor go to
Lcndon. In that event the former presi
dent would undoubtedly be either the
great of the American ambassador or
proceed to a hotel. He has a fixed en
gagement to lecture at Berlin university
on May 12.
Speaking of the late king’s tact, Mr.
Roosevelt gave an illustration of what
he termed the finer sense of things which
the king possessed.
A VALUED SOUVENIR.
“Next to the ring John Hay gave me,"
he said. “I value the miniature King Ed
ward sent me. after I became president,
of John Hampden.
"That was a present a sovereign could
make with dignity and one a Democratic
president could accept. All historians
and royalists agree that Hampden was a
good man. The king must have known
that Hampden was one of my four he
roes— Tlmoleon, Hampden, Washington
and Lincoln. Such a selection as the
miniature showed extreme tact.
I “I have a personal feeling about the
king's death. I know from having been
president that he had an earnest'desire
to keep the relations between Great
Britain and the United States on the
closest and the most friendly terms. King
Edward's death removes one influence
that touched strongly for peace and jus
tice in international relations. His own
people and other lands mu Mt feel that
loss.”
SPEND A QUIET DAY.
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt spent a com
paratively quiet day in the company of
the crown prince and princess. King
Gustave being at present in the south of
France, and in the evening were the
guests of honor at a dinner given by the
citizens. In a laudatory speech at this
dinner. Premier Lindman said:
“We are glad to welcome the foremost
citizen of the gerat republic, to which
Sweden has gent so many loyal citi
zens."
After referring to the former president s
efforts towards world peace and the con
servation of national resources, as well
as his endeavor morally to uplift his fel
low countrymen the premier continued:
"Your motto. Colonel Roosevelt, has
been honesty, justice and good character
in every citizen. You have sought to
promote self-reliance and foster such a
spirit in the nation that the stronger
would help the weaker when the weaker
was in need and deserved it. and the
manner In which you have worked to
these ends has made your name respected
and honored throughout the world.”
PROPOSES SILENT TOAST.
Colonel Roosevelt, with the consent of
the presiding officer, proposed a silent
toast as a mark of syrhpathy to the
British people In the loss of a king who
was devoted to the welfare of the people
and of hurrfanity. Some 400 men and
worsen of distinction, from all parts of
Sweden, took part in the dinner, which
was a subscription affair.
Some of them traveled many hundreds
of miles to be present. Not less than 1.-
600 applications for seats had to be re
jected.
In his toast to the former president,
Premier Llndmann coupled Mrs. Roose
velt's name with the colonel’s as a true
wife who had contributed to her hus
band's success at every step.
FAMILY FOOD
Crisp, Toothsome and Re
quires No Cooking
A little boy down in N. C. asked his
mother to write an account of how Grape-
Nuts food had helped their family.
She says Grape-Nuts was first brought
to her attention in Charlotte, where she
visited.
. “While I was there I used the food
regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and
felt so well that when I returned home
I began using Grape-Nuts in the family
regularly.
• "My little IS-months-old baby shortly
alter being weaned was very ill with
dyspepsia and teething. She was sick,
nine weeks and we tried everything.
She became so emaciated that it was
painful to handle her and we thought we
were going to lose her. One day a happy
thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts
soaked in a little warm milk.
’Well, it worked like a charm and she
began taking it regularly and improve
ment set in at once. She is now getting
well and round and fat as fast as possible
and on Grape-Nuts.
“Sometime ago several of the family
were stricken with La Grippe at the same
time, and during the worst stages we
could not relish anything in the shape of
food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, every
thing else nauseating us
“We all appreciate what your famous
food has done for our family."

BAPTIST GONVENTITIN
TO MEET IN BALTIMORE
Sessions Open Wednesday.
2,000,000 Southern Mem
bers Represented
(By Associated Press).
BALTIMORE. Md., May 9.-The South-
I ern Baptist convention representing a
church membership pf 2,000.000. whicli
meets in Baltimore this year, will assem
ble Wednesday, the sessions lasting one
week. Upward of 1,600 delegates are ex
; pected. Teh Baptist Women's Mission-
I 1 ary union will meet here at the same
time and after the convention adjourns
the International Sunday school conven
tion will assemble at Washington for a
week's session.
The annual conventions are concerned
with the great Interests of the church at
large. Questions of vital importance will
be discussed—home and foreign missions,
Sunday school wiork. the Layman's Mis
sionary movement and the educational
work of the church schools and colleges.
Exceptional interest attaches to the re
ports of the several boards which have
' charge of the Baptist church work at
I home and in the foreign field. The for
eign mission board will report that the
past year has been most prosperous fi
nancially and in conversions in the for
eign field. The collections exceeded
$50C,000 with expenditures slightly in ex
cess of the receipts.
For the first time in several years the
home mission board will report no debt,
the receipts during the past year were
$350,000. This oganlzation maintains 15
1 schools among the southern mountain
eers with an enrollment of 5.000 pupils
It supports a staff of evangelists for city
work, having more than 100 missionaries
among the Osage and Pawnee Indians in
I Oklahoma and during the last year spent
1 $53,000 In aiding 175 churches to build
houses of worship. The home missionary
• board co-operates with the negro na
' ticnal Baptist convention in the work
1 among the negroes of the south.
LONDON IS IN MOURNING
FOR ENGLAND’S MONARCH
Continued from Page One
The speaker of the house of common*
and the deputy speaker being out of the
country there was no one empowered
to preside over the house, and imme
diately upon Home Secretary Churchill’s
motion the house adjourned.
A great representative congregation
attended service in St. Paul s, the bishop
o 2 London officiating. Many Catholi. s
gathered in Westminster Cathedral while
special services were held in various
churches throughout the country and
others have been arranged for tomor
row. ' • -
On Monday morning the proclamation of
King George's accession will be read in
all the principal towns in the kingdom
Trumpeters clad in scarlet and gold,
and escorted by life guards will enter the
city of Lonuon. and the lord mayor and
aidermen in robes of office will meet
them at Temple Bar. This ceremony was
expected to take, place in London to
day and great crowds assembled at Tem
ple Bar and the royal exchange waiting
there for hours only to be disappointed.
Politics for the time seem to, be for
gotten. The newspapers Ignore the sub
ject and devote themselves entirely to
eulogies and biographies of the late
king. With the members of the ctAjinet
scattered in England and about the con
tinent, it has been impossible for the par
ty in power to discuss its policy, but >t is
assumed that parliament will adjourn
after the budget is settled.
The ceremonies in connection wdth the
opening of the Anglo-Japanese exposi
tion. for which Prince Fushlma, cousin
of the emperor of Japan, arrived today,
have been given up, as well as hundreds
of other entertainments and enterprises,
great and small.
FOES CAUSED DEATH?
There are signs already that some of
the conservatives will practically accuse
the liberals of responsibility for the
king's death by worry brought upon him
through threats of the party to call on
him to swamp the lords by the creation
of a host of liberal peers.
The question as to whether Premier As
quith should announce what advice he
intended to give the king has been debat
ed bitterly for some time. Only a few
days ago lx>rd Knollys. secretary to the
king, took pains to publish a letter in
Which he told a correspondent:
••You are correct in thinking that the
king deplores having his name brought
Into political controversies.”
The Globe in an editorial says:
“The king was In constant consultation
with his ministers. His holiday was euL
short and had not a keen sense of publ’c
duty compelled him to return to England
he might still be alive and well. Those
who have stirred up strife within the na
tion, who would have wrecked the consti
tution and who did not hesitate to at
tack the crown itself in pursuance of
their own ends, will now realize that they
must take their share of the responsibil
ity of the death of a great king. They
have done their work.”
BUSINESS SUSPENDED.
Telegrams from the Britisu colonies
over the world tell the same story of
grief. Business is suspended and flags
are half-masted. Church services have
been held everywhere.
The conservative Sunday Observer de
votes four columns to arguing for a
truce between the political parties on
the constitutional question necessitated
by the death of King Edward. If King
George invites the statesmen on both
sides to confer before tne prerogative
of the crown is made a uirect Issue in
the party light, the paper says, he will
be supported by the overwhelming mass
of the nation, and the nation's hand
will fall heavy on those who attempt
to cast out the spirit of peace and de
stroy the golden promise of the provi
dential hour.
GEORGE IS DISCUSSED.
The Observer discusses the personality
of King George. It says he is practi
cally unknown to the people of the
United Kingdom, as he was much leso
conspicuously identified with the gener
al activities of society than was Edward
as Prince of Wales.
“On the whole,” adds the paper, “King
Ceorge is better understood In other
parts of the empire than at home, but
his subjects in Great Britain will soon
know his worth, his serious set, his pa
triotism. his passion for the Imperial
•ideal, the directnes and candor of his na
lure, his sympathy and courage.
“Owing to his self-imposed quiet role,
some thought him of reactionary mind,
others as unlikely to set his own impress
on affairs. Both are absurd errors.
Prince George was indoctrinated with the
true meaning of empire during his early
world tours. With all the fervor of his
belief In empire, hfs majesty Is not like
ly to forget that twentieth century king
ship demands social service, and which Is
In a special sense the monarch of she
masses.”

U. S. TO SUPPRESS EVERY

WASHINGTON. May fi.—The complete

Prosecutions already started are to be

Just what are the plans of the govern

MACON FIREMEN KILLED
UNDER AUTO FIRE WAGON
MACON, Ga.. May 6.—Answering the
call of duty, three of Macon’s best fire
men met a horrible death at an early
hour this morning, being killed outright,
and several others, injured when the tiro
on the city’s new auto engine exploded
on the way to a fire.
The dead:
LEE ROBERTS.
C. A. MCREARY.
J. E. BUFFINGTON.
The Injured:
Frank Hammock.
W. R. Kemp.
John Lutze.
The auto engine was going at a ter
rific rate of speed when the accident oc
curred and just what caused the tire to
i burst is a mystery. Little did the fire
j ment expect when they were awakened
ito answer the alarm that It would be ■
their last run. The injured men were
rushed to the hospital.
Feagan, together with eight other
members of the department from head
quarters, were on the engine. The run
was made down Cherry street at a rapid
speed and, according to Feagan's state
ment this morning, one of the right tires
went down, causing the swerve. At the
swerve both tires exploded and the
chances of turning from the poles were
all gone. In a moment the car side
swiped a very large pole. Ed Bluffington.
one of the men on the running-board,
was pasted to this pole as a' fly to a
window pane. He was crushed to a pulp.
HITS SECOND POLE.
Drawing way from this terrible stroke
the machine again swerved in time to
catch the next pole on the same side of
the street. Here Lee Roberts was picked
off the running board, much in the same
manner as was Bluffington -at the first.
A third time the red monster swerved
and caught the third pole squarely in
front.
The pole, although a large one. was cut
off almost even with the ground and the
machine by this time was knocked side
wise. It landed 15 or 20 yards farther on,
the railway tracks that cross Fifth street
in a mass of wreckage That could go no
farther.
Charles A. McCrarj' was caught under
the air dome of the top and crushed to (
death. I
Feagan and John Parker, occupying the
seats, were slightly hurt.
E. M. Lutts escaped with no injuries. |

of the other men on the machine.
An encroachment In Fifth street made
Cherry some 20 feet narrower at the in
tersection there than farther up where
the machine had been running and as the
driver was hugging closely to the right
it is probable that under the high rate
iof speed he misjudged his distance, if
’ he had run six inches to the left he would
] have saved the machine and the three
1 firemen who were killed.
I Bluffington and McCrary had faml-
I lies. The funerals will be conducted to

L. M. Jones, of the fire department, and
