6 WIN. LAW TO BE PROCLAIMED • INGUBA Negro Revolt Spreads—Presi dent Gomez Will Be Given Iron-Hand Power. HAVANA,.June 4 —Proclamation of martial law' will follow con pre sal on al approval*"' President Gomez's request for authority to suspend constitutional guarantees, and the bloodiest campaign has ever witnessed is ex- during the next two months. wt’hen members of the house gathered for a special session today their atti tude indicated that they would grant full power to the president to act. Even the dispatches censored by the government showed tfce negro revolt has spread, widely and that horrible outrages are being committed under the banner of revolution. Outlaws have joined the forces of General Estonez and they are looting, torturing and burning as they raid the property of wealthy Cubans. Many women have been mistreated and it jas reported here early today that ten white women had been carried away from one village by negro rebels. Rebels Gaining Courage. The/febels are gaining courage while ernment delays. The 5,000 rifles and 1,000.000 rounds of ammunition which will he sent here by the United States government will be of vast help. Though President Gomez is moving vigorously now, the revolt is likely to result in his downfall, as it is charged that his failure to realize the danger ■was responsible for the rebels gaining such an advantage. The rebels are so well organized that an outbreak in Havana is feared at any time. More than 100 arrests of suspected persons have been made here and in the suburbs. Every road leading into Havana was crowded today with refugees fearing death or worse in the outlying districts. The problem of caring for several thou sand helpless women and children is a ssrtons problem for the already im poverished government. SECRET SPREE IS AN OFFICIAL PRIVILEGE TOPEKA. KANS.. June 4. —lt Is per. fectly proper for a public official In Kansas to get drunk as often and as much as he pleases, provided he does not do so publicly. Is the opinion of John Dawson, attorney general. The last legislature made drunkenness one of the offenses for which a public offi cial may be removed from office. The attorney general holds that the law is good as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough to "get” a public offi cial who goes on solitary and private jags. COUNCIL SEEKS POWER TO RETIRE CITY OFFICIALS If the council adopts a resolution now in the hands of the committee on char ter amendments, it will have the au thority to retire any official in the city government Officials now have the right to peti tion for retirement under the pension ordinance, but the council can not re tire them unless they first file an ap plication for a pension. The object of the new resolution is to make the pen sion ordinance retroactive. $5 DOG. BUT NO AUTOS IN TAX RETURNS OF JOHN D. CLEVELAND.

Brantley, representative in congress from the Eleventh Georgia district, would do in the event of his election tn Baltimore as a delegate at large ran riot for a time in the late state con vention. It had been stated —probably by Old Man They Say—that. Mr. Brantley pos i-tlve-ly would not consent to serve on the nationci delegation with the "red headed person" from Thomson, because of the ancient and bitter enmity exist ing between them. Besides that. Mr, Brantley's name was not considered seriously for a delegate's place, not even mentioned, indeed, until some 24 nours before the convention was call'd to order. The truth of the matter may as well be stated. Mr. Brantley was in no sense of the word a candidate for a delegate's place; he was in actual ignorance of any sug gestion that he serve until the conven tion was about ready to be called to order. Moreover, it is a fact that Mr. Brant ley did demur to the idea that he go to Baltimore with Mr. Watson He thought it might bring about an unpleasant status of things, not to say an ineffect ive situation. Because of his great ability, his high standing in congress and his nearness to Mr. Underwood, it was insisted, nevertheless, that he owed it to his party to sink and sacrifice whatever feeling he had in the matter, and, for Mr. Underwood's sake, yield his views to the extent of agreeing to go to Bal timore. if named by the convention. Finally. Mr. Brantley said he would put the matter In the hands of his friends and do what they thought he should do—this for Mr. Underwood's sake, as well as for the sake of the party that had so greatly honored him In the past. So it came to pass that Mr. Brantley was elected—and Mr. Brantley will serve. And this information ought to ease several pains, and set forever at rest whatever doubts still assail some few politicians here and there. "Everybody has a right to their own opinion." said Mr. Barnes, of New York, discussing Mr. Roose velt recently. Everybody hasn't the right to assault the English lan guage. with Intent to murder it. however. This “Let's all drop Watson" suggestion doesn't seem to impress particularly, coming from people who have no Mr. Watson to drop. Former State Senator J A. J. Hen derson gave his friends a real surprise a day or so ago. when he announced his determination not to continue his tight for election to congress from the new’Twelfth district. Mr. Hendi rson, who was looked upon as an exceedingly formidable candidate, gives business as his reason for quit ting (he race. He declares that his in terests are so extensive and involve so many other people, that he felt himself not Justified in undertaking the game of politics at this time. The retirement of Mr. Henderson leaves Judge Parker, of Waycross, and Ranfial Walker,, of Lowndes, the omy two avowed candidates for congres sional honors in the Twelfth, but it is 2 KILLED. 3 HURT IN I RAID ON BLIND TIGER IN KENTUCKY TOWN WHITESBURG, KY..

NEVIN. given out, with considerable degree cf authority, that there unquestionably will be another entry, if not two more. Both Mr. Walker and Judge Parker are actively campaigning, although It is pointed out, as a fact not without significance, that Judge Parker has not yet resigned his judgeship nor ex pressed an intention to do so—and res ignation has generally been considered a necessary prereouisite to the pur suit of congressional ambition upon the part of a Georgia judge. Senator John Sharp Williams thinks the senatorial free bath should be abolished in Wash-ing ton. The old reliable “immunity bath” might be abolished, too, per haps—and no real harm done. A Georgia politician says h<- has "pasted an account of the late state convention" In his “scrap book for future reference.” Well, there is where the account should be past ed; the convention was a “scrap" all right! The sub-committee having in charg for the Georgia delegation to Baltimore the matter of hotel accommodations in the Monumental City had a fine little scheme knocked galley west a day or so ago. ' This cute little committee had it all fixed up to put Thomas B. Felder and Thomas E. Watson in a room together, with only one double bed between them. The room selected Is quite a cozy one, too, and wasn't provided witli a fire escape. The sub-committee figured that it was doing a fine harmony-and-hrother ly-love stunt, and was pluming itself accordingly—on the strict q. t. It was under the impression that, the state convention marked the ending of the Watson-Felder near-war, and that thereafter all would be as merry as a wedding bell But the Watson-Felder thing broke loose again in Georgia the other day - and the fine little Baltimore scheme is all off! "Champ Clark is convinced a congressional bird In the hand is worth two presidencies in the hush." observes the erudite Bir mingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. Champ may have acquired the no tion from “Cousin Oscar" —who knows? The Hon. Lorimer, of Illinois, is booked for another farewell tour of the senatorial circuit. This is pos i-tive-ly his last appearance! Thomas E. Watson’s announced de termination. via* Major McGregor, Mr. Watson’s most intimate friend and ail viser, not to oppose Senator Racon for re-election is being accepted as final. Few* profess to believe that either Mr. Watson or Major McGregor undertook to juggle with words in the major's communication to the editor of The Macon Telegraph, setting forth ex plicitly the fact that Mr. Watson had given up his Immediate senatorial am bition. Mr. Watson is specifically advised that Senator Bacon will be in the race to succeed himself. ■ There is a growing opinion, however, that Mr. Watson has an eye on Senator Hoke Smith's seat, and may try for it I wo "years hence.

OHIO OEMDCRITS ON BATTLE EVE Plan of Harmon Men to Carry Unit Rule Bitterly Fought by Wilson Forces. TOLEDO, OHIO. June 4. —The unit rule proposition continues to overshad ow all other topics of conversation be fore the Democratic state convention, which opens here tonight and continues Wednesday. The leaders of the Harmon organiza tion insist that they have the votes and intend to carry it through, despite the cry of gag rule by the Nineteenth dis trict Wilson men, elected in the recent state primaries. If they stick to this plan of campaign, the convention will be a stormy one, as the Wilson men de clare they will fight the measure to the last ditch and if defeated in the state convention assert they will car ry the fight to the floor of the Balti more convention. Baker Leads Fight For Wilson. Mayor Newton Baker, of Cleveland, will lead the fight for the Wilson men. He intends to try to get on the resolu tions committee and will make his first fight there when the committees convene this afternoon. Some of the Harmon leaders, fearing the effect the enforcing of the unit rule will have on the state ticket this fall, were busy this morning endeavoring to bring about a compromise between the two factions which will give Harmon the selection of the six delegates-at large, a presidential indorsement by the convention and allow the nineteen Wil son delegates to go to Baltimore as Wilson men. The compromise appears to be agreeable to the Wilson forces, but Ed Moore and Ben Chamberlain, Harmon's personal representatives hi re, refuse to listen to any compromise. Cox in Lead for Governor, Congressman Cox, of Dayton, appears to have the nomination for governor lined up, but O. S. Hughes is making a hard fight for delegate and may show considerable Strength before the nomi nation tomorrow. Ex-Mayor James Rice, of Canton, a dry leader, gave out a statement today attacking Congressman James M. Cox, candidate for the Democratic guberna torial nomination. Rice declares Cox is the first choice of the liquor inter ests and for that reason the party ought to make him its last. • [KICKERS’ COLUMN a..

Are we to pass the summer without the usual se ries of band concerts? There seems to be no inclination on the part of the (<iundl to appropriate money for this populab amusement, and It is to be re gretted that Atlanta is to allow these concerts to be passed up. Progressive Atlanta! That is the term usually applied. Cities not as large as Atlanta have arranged for a series, one in particular having erected a band stand and the concerts are about to begin. it is getting late and about time for arrangements to he made if we are to have our concerts. If the council will not provide for the series. I would suggest that a popular subscription be started. A CHORD. SENIOR LAW REPRESENTATIVES. ATHENS. GA.. June 4.—James E.

T, R., FEARING CLARK AS FOE, NOW WANTS HADLEY By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS. WASHINGTON, June 4.—Roosevelt has winged, the word along the line that he . wants Hadley, of Missouri, for a running mate. With Hadley for vice president he hopes to stiffen the Repub lican hand in Missouri and the West. Roosevelt believes that Clark will be the Democratic nominee against him. With Missouri as a solid wali behind Clark, the Oyster Bay feeling is'that the single chance of rounding up the state for the Republicans is to put Hadley on the ticket. Hadley ha's already carried the gov ernorship, and Roosevelt deduces there from a local Hadley popularity. Both the Roosevelt and the anti- Roosevelt forces declare Roosevelt will be in Chicago not later than Thursday. They read between the lines when he sends forth word that he’ll “come if needed," and insists that the question of “need” has already been decided by him in the affirmative. T. R. Buttons For Taftites. So sure is a former Taft contingent in congress of an ultimate Roosevelt victory at Chicago that they have donned, and are wearing a new kind of campaign button. One may he seen most prominently blazing on the broad breast of House Leader Mann. It is a Roosevelt button, with the motto all about it, "We know when we’re beat." Taft, who also knows when he's “beat,” insists more strongly than ever to his near advisers—after the doors have been doubly locked and guarded— that his name must not go before the convention. He has seen enough by the light of the recent primaries to know that the great majority of the party do not want him, and, although the indomitable Tawney and others try to cheer him up and show him that with the aid of the national committee sitting in Chicago he can be steam rollered into the nomination, he has no heart for so empty an honor. Better, he believes, to step sidewise out of a situation cvhich grows worse and not'better every day than to bur glarize the convention for the. nomina tion and then be beaten nut nf every semblance of political humanity at the polls. Finding Fault With Managers. Taft is finding grievous fault wdth McKinley and Crane. .He insists that it was they who, against his will and protest, drove him into those speech making tours, which in the recent ail mary fights resulted so disastrously. Crane and Mr. McKinley don’t say much in reply to Taft's complaint of bad management, but murmuring among themselves they intimate that it was he. not they, who insisted upon that unfortunate speech-making. Among the soberer and more thoughtful Democrats, many of whom have not violently preferred the cause of any candidate, the conviction is be ginning to form that Clark should be and will be named. Littleton, of New 'York, has come, after a -week's absence., .from, his*seat, full of a Clark belief. Hilton, of West Virginia and the sen ate, Is another. These gentlemen, in turning to Clark and thinking greatly of the party and a ballot triumph in November, argue after this wise; Wilson is the leading candidate against Clark. It is not sure that Wilson could carry New Jersey. It is sure that Clark could carry Mis souri. Also, Missouri is bigger than New Jersey. Clark Stronger Man. In the electoral college it takes 266 votes to choose a president. The Dem ocrats, given Oklahoma, Missouri and Maryland, are certain of 188 votes. Fur the other 78 required to elect, the Dem ocrats would have Maine, Massachu setts, California. Colorado, Illinois. In diana, Ohio, West Virginia, New Jer sey and New York to look to. Clark can carry Missouri, Oklahoma and Maryland. It is a question if Wil. son could. Wilson would lose Missouri sure, and Maryland probably. With Hadley for vice president upon the ticket with Roosevelt, Missouri would inevitably go Republican if Wil son did the running for the Democrats. The returns from the popular prima ries are thus thrashed out: Clara swept, as if by fire, Rhode Island. Mas. sachusetts, Kentucky, Maryland. Illi nois, Arkansas, Utah. Colorado and California. Clark also carried Nebraska, even in the face of Bryan's expressed prefer ence for Wilson, and Bryan was chose t a delegate and instructed to vote first, last and all the time for Clark. This marks Clark as the great na tional choice of the Democracy. The candidate who can carry California, Il- linois and Massachusetts, as Clark car ried them, is something more than a mere neighborhood candidate, more than merely the favorite son of a state. Wilson carried Texas, Oregon, Min nesota, the Carolinas and Pennsylva nia. What then? The Democrats, if they tried, could no more lose Texas and the Carolinas than the Republicans could lose Pennsylvania. As for Ore gon and Minnesota. Clark at the ballot box would stand as good, if not a bet ter. chance than Wilson. Wilson Has Antagonized Opponents. In Harmon's state of Ohio and such Underwood states as Alabama and Florida, Clark would be stronger than Wilson who—through Bryan—has an tagonized every supporter of either Harmon or Underwood between the oceans. Last, yet not least, it is pointed out that Wilson is a dreamer, while Clark stays on the ground; that the one is academic while the other is practical, that the one shifts and changes while the other remains steadfast; that the on e writes essays while the other, in practical fashion, puts the people’s needs in the way of house measures squarely up to the Republicans of the senate. In short, the currents of argument, and per consequence, conviction, are setting toward Clark and against Wil son. It is the common admission by every cool head among the Democrats, thinking on party victory, that Clark should be the man.

Each mem ber has ben assessed SI,OOO for the “war fund.” Despite dissension in the ranks of the strikers, the leaders of the cooks and waiters asserted today that they would be able to win and succeed in forcing recognition of the union. When the leaders resumed their cam paign today they declared that 69 es tablishments had been crippled and that 5.518 employees were on strike. The hotel and restaurant men admitted that thev would not serve their full quota of patrons, but that they would be able to carry on their business if provided with proper protection. They said that help had been promised them by James H. Dashner. of the Elite association, one of the six fraternal associations form ed by waiters and chefs. They had promised Dashner that all of the unionists will be given their old places with the concessions they have asked, leaving the recognition of the union out of the question, if they wi.l return to work.
