WATSON ELECTED, BUT WHIPPED The Atlanta Georgian FINAL * VOL. X. NO. 259. WATSON IS ELECTED - WITHHIS FOES Bound and Gagged He Is Sent to Baltimore a Pros trate Victor. TRIES IN VAIN TO HAVE ENEMIES VOTED DOWN Felder White With Anger. But Friends Restrain Him—Con fusion and Disorder Rule. Bound and gapged tinder the unit rule, and neatly tucked into bed between his two bitterest po litical foes in Georgia, with his lat est immediate enemy gibbering at him over the footboard. Thomas E. Watson lies this afternoon a pros trate victor in his fight for a dele place to the national Dem ocratic convention in Baltimore. Alons with William G. Brant -1 ley, Charles K. Pendleton and Thomas B. Felder. Watson was permitted to go to Baltimore, forc ed to be good, whether he chooses or no. As on» of a framed-up slate elected by acclamation in the convention, amid scenes of confusion and disorder , this afternoon. Watson, over his vehe ment protest, was named one of the ‘Rig Eight." Upon every question, he will be obliged, under the unit rule, to vote as a majority of the delegation directs him to. His victory, such of it as there is, is all in the form —there is nothing in the substance. How The Showdown Came in Convention. Under a resolution adopted in the convention early in its procedings, the election of delegates at large came up after the district delegates had been named. Here and there in the hall, delegates arose, as if by preconcerted program, and proceeded to make the nomina tions. First came the nomination of Thomas E. Watson, then came Thomas B. Fel der, and there followed, in rapid suc cession, the names of H. H. Dean. Charles R. Pendleton, William G. Brantley, Randolph Anderson. G. R Hutchens and Crawford Wheatley. No sooner was the last man nomi nated than a delegate jumped to his feet and moved that the nominations close. IH*—-e-J'4tson arose and undertook to pro test. The crowd bellowed, howled, hissed ■rnd snorted. Watson implored the con vention to be in order. Chairman Hutchens beat all the paint off his lit tle table and begged that Watson be given a chance to say.what he wanted , \ to say. Watson Begs Not To Be Humiliated Finally Watson got a little opening and said: "I* want to be frank with this con vention. I want to go to Baltimore so I can represent the state properly. Why not let these nominees be passed upon separately? Why make Watson's friends votd for Watson's enemies— Watson's bitterest personal and politi cal enemies in Georgia—in order to vote for Watson? "I beg the con’ ention not to humii -1 iate me and my friends here by forcing 1 my friends, in order to vote for me, to I make them vote also for a man who has been abusing me privately and In ’ * the newspapers., and who has threat ’s ened to 'skin me like an eel?' , "Why debase me by forcing my \ friends to vote for Felder Let Fei -1 der's friends vote for Felder and Wat \ son'- for Watson. Do not elect a ’ 1 cdgation that can not and will not pull '. , t igetl'.e’’ " X- Mr. Watson tried to .-.ay more, but Continued on Page Two.

I n r ME 4 akAl \ i * I Will Not Raise Row, Says Watson; Felder Dissatisfied journinent of the convention Sir. Watson said: ‘‘lf the boys are satisfied. I will not raise a row. I entered my protest; a great mistake has been made. I hardlj’ know what to say right now—it all looks so foolish artd so devoid of common sense.' Mr. Felder said : “I will go to Baltimore de termined to do nothing but work for Underwood. T am not, satisfied with what the convention did. It should not have named a delegation so hopelessly apart in its member ship. It is humiliating in some of its features." Pendleton, Who Said He Wouldn't Serve With Watson, Silent "I have not heard the details of what the convention has done. I can not make a statement at this time." This was the reply of Colonel Charles R. Pendleton, editor of The Macon Tel egraph, this afternoon when The Geor gian asked him if he would serve as one of the eight delegates-at- large to the Baltimore convention with Thornis E. Watson. As soon as he was asked the question and had given his brief answer, he hung, up the receiver and efforts to reach him for further dis cussion of today i convention proceed ings were unavailin o ’. Colonel Pendleton previous to today declared privately more than once that he would not serve with Watson. EDITORBOKFIRES GIRLS WHO DANCED THE “TURKEY TROT” PHILADELPHIA, May 29—The Cur tis Publishing Company is without the services of sixteen young woman who so far forgot the proprieties and rules of that corporation as to indulge in the "turkey trot” on the third floor of the Ladies' Home Journal building. The sixteen were discovered at the noon hour engaged in this terpsicho rean specialty, much to the disgust of Edward Bok. the editor, who ordered them "fired.” The young wdmen regarded Mr. Bok’s action as not only an intrusion, since they were enjoying their noon lunch eon at the time, but as an attack on their personal privileges, and some of then) say they intend to ask Mr. Curtis to reinstate tnem. In the meantime there will be no more "turkey trots," "bunny hugs" or ’griz zly bears." at least while Mr. Bok is in the building. » MAN FALLS 14 STORIES TO DEATH: HITS PEDESTRIAN CHICAGO.

B MICE TO EVADE BIGfiMY Goes to Same Minister With Young Woman He Married Before Divorced. Clarence Pinion, the young carpenter who eloped with Lulu Belle Lowry, of 283 Humphrey Street, Monday night and Is charged with bigamy by the girl’s brother because the wedding occurred twelve hours before Pinion's divorce from his first wife was granted, gave himself up to Justice of the Peace Gi rardieu this morning. Pinion told the jurist that when the bailiff was searching for him last night he was at the home of Rev. Mr. Vaughn on Larkin street getting married a sec ond time to Lulu Belle. He said that the minister had told him that the first marriage wasn’t legal because his di vorce hadn’t been granted then. "So I went back and had him do it over,” said Pinion. "And if your honor wants me'to marry her again I’ll start right o-t again, for I like to marry her better than any girl I ever knew." The judge told Pinion that he would let him go free on his own recognizance until Friday afternoon, when the charge of bigamy against him will be brought to trial, Lulu Belle's brother, T. T. Lowry, came to court with an attorney and op posed Pinion's attempt to get free with out bail. He said he would prosecute the bigamy charge to the last ditch. Lula Belle Lowry had been loving Pinion for a long time. She had even known him before her mother died in Edge wood, two years ago, and the mother died knowing that the girl cared very much for a man who was already married. The mother was gone and the broth ers and sisters of Lula Relle took it upon themselves to see that the girl was protected from her infatuation. Three weeks ago the girl went to live with her bi other. T. T. Lowry, at 25 Humphrey street. She told Lowry and his wife that she was cured of her love for Pinion and would never see him any more. Lowry gave her the big fron; room of their little home to live in, and told her she could stav with them as long as the family lived. But they found out a few days after that Lula Belle wasn't playing fail with them about Pinion They found out that Pinion had made friends with Lula Belle's sister. Mrs. Atkinson, who lives two blocks away over the clay banks at 159 Middle street. He would come to the Atkinson house and hide in the back room, and Lula Belle would steal away from the Lowry home and meet him there. .Monday night Pinion came again to the Atkinson house. He had told Mrs. Atkinson that his divorce had been granted by Judge Pendleton; that he was free to marpj’. and one of the chil dren was persuaded to slin over to the Lowry house and tell that to Lula Belle while he would wait out of sight in a rear room But Lula Belle knew that the Lowrys would be suspicious, and would not let her go to meet the man. So she sent the child back to Pinion with a message to wait for her until after dark, and she had Mrs Atkinson send her little daughter down to her at the Lowry house again with a message asking Lula Belle to bring some pictures up to show her. The ruse lulled Mrs. Lowry, but Low. ry kept watch. He hecam« the more Continued on Page Five, BASEBALL AND RACING RACING ENTRIES LATONIA ENTRIES. FlßST—Purse, 6 furlongs (5): Won dawhy 95, T, M.
