Continued From Page One. pr-r .*nt *f it. with the other 55 per ent divided among the other three candidate? As a result of the Republican fight, it is certain ‘hat two delegations will go tn Chicago, one representing the or ganized party of the state instructed] for Taft, and the other delegation, rep resenting the "home rule coterie in structed for Roosevelt. It "ill then be un to the national committee to de cide In the case of the Ttemocrats, how ever, the likelihood of two delegations to Baltimore was brushed aside when the regular Democrats and the inde pendents. through their state commit tee joined together in the movement to select th* national delegates. With 75 per cent of the total conven tion vote of 1,356 uninstructed, a per plexing situation is presented, and no one candidate can claim Tennessee, though it is th* general belief that Champ Clark has decidedly the best of It and will m all probability get the majority of the 24 votes to the national conclave. Clark Leads All the Rest. Out oj the twentv votes in th* ten congressional districts it is figured that Clark will get ten or twelve, leaving one-half of the district votes to be divided between Underwood. Harmon and Wilson Since Clark now lead* with half or a majority of the district vote, the big gest fight will come in the selection of the delegates at large. Unless some one candidate develops a controlling force in the convention, this vote will go uninstructed, and there is something of a tangible movement to have it this way in order to bring about harmony and prevent discord after the party has suffered so much on that account.

Cleaner Advertising On Billboards Aim of Billposters of South The abolition of questionable adver tising on billboards will probably b* tak*n up for discussion by th* South eastern Billposters association, which began a two days convention at the Piedmont hotel today. It is thought that the consensus of opinion among the members is that ; billboard advertising should be made as i lean as possible, not only for the public good, but to raise the value of su< h advertising A full attendance was on hand today. The earlier hours of the convention were given over to routine matters. James G. Burbage, of Jacksonville. Fla is presiding over the convention. William A.

ARCHBALD LURED IHTOWBIFOE Boland Lost $3,300 Through the Federal Judge’s Decision, Then Laid Snare for Him. WASHINGTON, May 13.—How TV. P. Boland, after a ten years fight, laid a trap to ensnare Judge Robert W. Arch bald of the commerce court was re hearsed before the jgdiciary committee by Allen B.'Cockrill, confidential clerk of the interstate commerce commission, at the opening of the Inquiry into the charges against. Judge Archbald today. Cockrill said that Boland, as his first step in the trap, had advised E. J. Williams, a friend of Judge Archbald, of the existence of a culm bank be longing to the Erie railroad after a decision by the judge and caused Bo- I land an expense of about $3,300. In ' Cockrill’s testimony Judge Archbald was not mentioned by name, but was referred to as "A." The substance of hfs statement was that Archbald had attempted to influence not only Boland, but Charles Conn, of th* Laurel Elec tric line, and Attorney Brownell, of th* Erie railroad, to put through the deal, which meant s3o,non profit Denies Williams’ Statement. "Mr. Williams neither denied that the papers signed by himself and Judge Archbald were al! right nor .indicated an ignorance concerning them." said Cockrill. "He glanced at the papers several times and said he. remembered them." This is a direct contradiction of the. statement made by Williams on the stand last week. PASTOR RESCUES GIRL AND THEN WEDS HER SAVANNAH, GA., May 13.- A ro mance. beginning two months ago when Rev. Fred H. Williams rescued Miss Emily L. Trice, of this city, from drowning, resulted In the marriage of the couple here yesterday. Williams and Miss Trice were on a boat rid* on Wilmington river, near Thunderbolt. While stopcing from a rowboat to a larger craft, both the young people fell into the water. The tide was running pretty strong, and Williams had considerable difficulty in getting out with the girl. Up to that time th* couple had been good friends, but an experience of that sort naturally made a difference, and the friendship i quickly ripened into something more serious.

I Affinities Elope to Augusta, But Police Find Their Paradise AUGUSTA, GA.. May 13.—Augusta today turned up a real affinity case. The police officers of this city, at the request of H. S.

Mrs. Gotthelf and Gunterman were 'sqznqns aqj uj o3v?i;oo Xzoo r ut punoj the latter’s two children with them. Mrs. Gotthelf, who had deserted her husband and two little daughters in New York, stated to the police that her husband mistreated her and she found solace and happiness in her life with Gunterman. They had started a gar den. Gotthelf some time ago wrote the city editors of two local newspapers about his troubles and they informed the po lice, who began a search for the eloping wife. Mrs. Gotthelf says that her hus band is the son of a wealthy clothing importer of New York, but ‘hat he is dissolute in his habits. She declares that she will not return to New York.

Dr. SXarr re turned shortly afterward and found his wife on the floor of the room, still bound and gagged. MFIS. GRICE IN SEARCHOFBONO Signer Must Be Willing to Have Name Printed, and Husband Forbids Mortgage. Some well-to-do Atlanta property owner who is not afraid to have his name printed in. connection with the Grace case must sign Mrs. Daisy Grace's bond if she is to be released from the Tower before her trial, which probably win be late in May or some time in Jun*. Such a bondsman is needed because several men who have expressed a wil lingness to sign the bond do not wish their names printed in connection with the case, and the professional bonds men will not sign a bond for $5,000 unless Mrs. Grace- can put up security to that amount. Mrs. Grace can not .place this security because her hus band, who accuses her of shooting him. refuses to attach his name to legal pa pers allowing her to mortgage her prop erty in Philadelphia.

YouNGJrW No young woman, in the joy of coming motherhood, should neglect to prepare her system for the physi cal ordeal she is to undergo. The health of both herself and the coming child depends largely upon the care she bestows upon herself during the waiting months. Mother s Friend prepares the expectant mother s sys tem for the coming event, and Its usa makes her comfortable during all the term. It works with and for nature, and by gradually expanding all tis sues, muscles and tendons, involved, and keeping the breasts in good con dition, brings the woman to the crisis in splendid physical condition. The baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and strong where the mother has thus prepared herself for nature s supreme function. No better advice could ba given a young expectant mother than that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a medicine that has proven its value in thousands of cases. Mother’s 'MfITUFO’S Friend is sold at IILKj Un! ®FRIENn book for expect ant mothers which contains much valuable information, and many sug gestions of a helpful nature.
