Continued From Pane One. vote in the Fourth district, according to the statement filed in the commit tee, showed the Roosevelt ticket with a total of 10,209 and the Taft ticket with ■' 10,240. Reuf Might Learn Here, Says Heney. Honey made this brief statement aft er the California vote: "If Abe Reuf were present in the committee room he would learn meth ods of which he never dreamed before he landed in the penitentiary.” “Was there a content in the Fourth district?" Governor Johnson was asked. "No." he answered. "There was no contest. All our delegates were elected at large The California legislature, when it passed the presidential pri mary law . abolished the district system and had all delegates elected from all the state The Roosevel.t ticket won by a majority of 77.000. Pat Caihopn has sent in a man to say that he does not like the California delegation, and the committee Is listening to Pat Calhoun.” “Do you think they will throw out the California delegation, governor?" he was asked. "If they need the delegates," he an swered. "They are here to steal al! they need. I suppose that at first they will only steal th- two from the Fourth district, but if they need more they w 111 steal more. They have a •comput ing machine somewhere and when they figure out just what they need, they will go and take ft.” Francis J. Heney a resplendant smile did not disappear for a moment w hen the announcement of the California re sult was made In the antechamber to the committee room. “it helps to put the brand on 'em," he said. “Plain stealing, that's true. But. nevertheless. I'm rather pleased. They are working their own destruc tion. Acts like that will cause the downfall of the Taft cause. Can t Defy 77,000 People, Says Kellogg. "1 told that committee, and I meant it, that Abe Rttef could learn a whole lot about crookedness were he in these meetings. Rut, unfortunately. Abe is behind the J>ars. and can not add to his «lready w ide knowledge." Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota, a Roosevelt man. explained bls vote "We can not defy the 77,000 people In California." he said. "Do you doubt that the Fourth dis trict of California was for Taft dele gates?" asked Lowden. ”1 certainly do." he answered. Senator Borah, explaining his vote said: "This is a contest to bring back to the people the rights given us by the fathers of our party. If you dis franchise these California nun you will prevent the election of a Republican president for the next four years." Colonel Lowden, of Illinois, then ex plained his vote. "The question is whether we are going to sustain the rules of that body which gave us life— the old national committee." he said "1 vote aye " The committee then took up the con tests over delegates-at-large from Louisiana. This contest includes tlie i question of the three-way split in the Republican organization there. A novel complication confronts the na tional committeemen. There is no Re publican party in Louisiana At the last election, held some months ago, the party failed to poll 10 per cent of the vote. Under the Louisiana law it thereby is no longer recognized as a reguiat party organization and can get its names on the ballots only by pe tition. Here's the Taft Side’s Contention. The Arizona Tatt men were seated and the California cases then came up. A statement of the Taft side of th< case is in substance as follows Taft delegates were elected to the! Republican national convention from' , the Fourth California district. The call I for the Republican national conventions , contains the following clause ••Provided that delegates and alter-! nates, troth from the state at large and! from each congressional district be elected in conformity with the laws of the state in which the election occurs, if the state committee or any such con gressional committee so direct The section closed wl|h the follow - c ing important provision, to which at tention is asked: "But. provided further that in no case shall an election be so held as to prevent the ejectors of any district from electing their own delegates •• The Taft men hold that their candi date® received a plurality in th* Fourth district. All the delegates were toted on by all the voters of the state On this showing the Roosevelt tnen were elected by a big majority. The Taft men hold that this election violated the call of the national committee, and that the men should not be seated. Motion to Seat T. R. Men Beaten. The first vote w a ■ taken on a motion to seat the Roosevelt candidates It wjs lost on a viva voce vote Tim mo tion to seat tin Taft delegates was then made. A roll call was demanded.

Kent, member of the state legislature from Montgomery’ county and former football star at the Univer sity of Georgia, today was permanent ly disbarred by’ the supreme court from the practice of law in Georgia. The high court, in dismissing Kent’s appeal in point of fact, affirmed the de cision of the superior court of Mont gomery county which had adjudged Kent guilty’ of unprofessional tactics in hiding papers from the Montgomery county courts and arranging court rec. ords to aid his clients. Action for disbarment in Montgom ery county was brought against. Kent by five of the most prominent attorneys in that section of the state—J. B. Grei gcr. A. C. Saffold. Eugene Talmarige, W. W. Lewis and L. (.'. Underwood. They had been associated in a suit in which Kent hid papers to delay trial. HID PAPERS FRdM COURT TO AID CLIENT. An array of Montgomery county at torneys appeared against Kent in the supreme court. The legislator defended himself aided only’ by W. W. Bennett. The’lawyers who acted against Kent in the supreme court were Eschol Gra ham, F. If. Saffold. E. J. Giles and W. C. Davis. The record of the case shows that Kent, while defending a client in suit involving money, deliberately hid the original papers from the court for three months to obtain a (delay of the trial. Later in the same case It wag discov ered he had been guilty of changing the court records to obtain a more favora ble judgment for this same client. Kent. who, with Representative Threat Moore, of Butts county, and Sandy Beaver, of Stone Mountain, formed for two years a star trio on the University of Georgia football team, attracted considerable attention in the state legislature last summer in an.at tempt to establish a new county cre ated from a portion of Montgomery county, to be known as Kent county. The county was to be named in honor of Kent's father, he said, but he usually grinned when he was accused of trying to name a county after himself. Cause of Accident Baffles Experts WASHINGTON. June 12.—Army ex perts today made an exhaustive inves tigation to determine the cause of the accident that resulted in the deaths of Lieutenant Leighton W. Hazlehurst, Jr.. Seventeenth infantry, u S. A., and Alfred L. Welch, a professional avia tor in the employ of the Wright Broth ers. None of the seven army flyers who saw the two men crushed to death when the big flyer crashed to earth could explain the accident. The accident occurred about 1,000 feet from the hangars: Wjien the first witnesses reached the wreck, both of the men were dcid. fornia." he shouted "Address yourself to the commit tee." ruled the chairman. "I am an illustrious member of the committee,” roared Heney. "We don't propose to let any Cranes or Penroses j dictate how we shall elect our dele gates." "Are you here to present the case?" asked the chairman. "No,” he cried. "1 am here to tell the president of the United States that if he is renominated it will be on stolen goods. I want him to know that this committee stole the votes of the people of California." Heney read into the record the fiery statement made by Johnson when he refused to enter the committee room. Chairman Rosewater tried to gavel him down, but the California man would not be silenced, and shouted his charges in a voice so lotid it could be beard out side the committee room.

FLYER KILLED; ROMANCEENDS Lieutenant Hazlehurst. For merly of Atlanta, Takes Plunge to Death. When death beckoned to Lieutenant Leighton Hazlehurst yesterday after noon while he was testing an army aeroplane near Washington, it ended not only a promising career, but broke in twain a pretty romance which be gan when Hazlehurst first came to Georgia from West. Point. According to information given out by his friends in Atlanta. Hazlehurst was to have married a Georgia girl in the fall. The engagement, however, had not yet been announced. The flag which flies over Fort Mc- Pherson, where Lieutenant Hazlehurst saw his first'army experience, Is at half-mast today. Even out In the barracks where he was known only as an officer there is a note of sorrow’. The privates and non-commissioned officers of Hazle hurst's old company have by popular subscription purchased an enormous Wreath of flowers w’hich will be sent to Washington to be taken with the body to Evansville, Ind., where burial will be made. Member of Foremost Georgia Family. A wreath also will be sent by his brother officers and by the entire fort. Lieutenant Hazlehurst was a member of one of the foremost families in Geor gia, having been born in Brunswick. He later moved to Memphis and then to Mississippi. It was from Greenville, Miss., he received his appointment to West Point. Upon being graduated he was de tailed a lieutenant in the Seventeenth infantry, which was then doing service in Cuba. For several months he was there. He returned with the Seven teenth to Atlanta. While at Fort McPherson he was chosen as one of two out of 500 to go Into the aviation corps. He went from Atlanta to Augusta and left there in March, when the. corps left the city. Hazlehurst had many relatives all over Georgia. He was a kinsman of the well known Nightingale family of Glynn county. He was a first cousin of Mrs. Fleming dußignon, of Atlanta; a sec ond cousin of Mrs. Robert Alston and of James Hazlehurst. He was considered the most popular junior officer at the Lieutenant John H. Hester and Lieutenant Bur nett, his closest friends at the fort, spoke feelingly of him. Courtmartial Caused Big Stir in Atlanta. The courtmartial of Lieutenant Ha zlehurst for ordering an escaping pris oner to be shot, which took place at Fort McPherson about two and a half years ago. caused quite a stir in At lanta. on account of the officer's popu larity. The trial resulted in his entire exoneration. Lieutenant Hazlehurst was officer of the guard when two drunken soldiers started a fight on the reservation. To gether with the sentry, Hazlehurst startei after the men. One of them turned and fled. Hazlehurst ordered him to halt three times, and when he continued running, he commanded the sentry to fire, meaning for him to aim high." T'ne soldier was struck by the bullet and killed.

Continued From Page One. improved hospital was made ready for their reception. As the train went down it crashed into a telegraph pole and tore away the wires, cutting off communication with the dispatchers. Messengers ran to Dalton, a mije and a half away, and the operator flashed a report to Chatta nooga, headquarters of the division. There a relief train was made up and started at once for the scene. 39 miles away. RESCUERS IN AUTOS RUSH TO GIVE AID. In the meantime crowds of Dalton folk had driven in automobiles to the wreck and rendered such first aid as possible. The injured were placed in the cars remaining, on the track and brought to Dalton. The First Baptist church was thrown open for use as a hospital and many physicians and nurses hurried to bandage wounds and give such help as was possible. Prom inent women hastened to volunteer as nurses, and they were badly needed. In a short time those whose condi tion made their removal possible were placed on the relief train and taken to Calhoun, the home of most of the pas sengers. CONDUCTORS REPORT MAKES CAUSE MYSTERY. Conductor Hill, who was in charge of the train, made the following official report soon after the accident: "Engine and thYee coaches turned over and went down an embankment. Fireman C. A. Holcomb killed, un known section man killed, 40 or 50 wounded, some seriously. Engineer Kitchens was badly injured. Brake men Calhoun and Shaw are slightly hurt. Can not assign any cause for engine jumping track. Cars left on track, with wounded, sent to Dalton.” The section gang at work on the track had stepped to one side to per mit the excursion train to pass. Sev eral men were standing on the em bankment when the train came down upon them, and it is considered a mir acle that any of them escaped. Arthur Pilcher, caught under the train, was crushed to death. William Richards and John Shuman were buried under the coaches, but escaped with their lives, though badly bruised and scarred. Dalton Sunday schools had planned a big union picnic excursion at Var nells for next Friday, but when the re ports of today's ill-fated excursion spread over the town the order for the special train was canceled and the outing abandoned. Passengers say the train was run ning at a high rate, perhaps 35 miles an hour, when it struck the weak track and left the rails. There was a shock which threw the passengers from their seats and tossed children about the coaches; then the shrill whistle as the emergency brakes were applied—a swaying, sickening motio,n as the wheels plowed through the earth -an 1 then thef tumble down the high em bankment. Had Just Taken Home in Atlanta Instead of the Joy of a housewarm ing that was to have marked his taking up of a new residence, sorrow ruled to day at the little home of Claude Hol comb, 373 Mangum street, the fireman who met his death in the Western and Atlantic railroad wreck near Dalton. The wife was grief-stricken at the news and two little girls, Mabel Ruth, aged four years, and Mgry. just one year old, cried in sympathy with the be reaved mother. The heartbroken wife told between sobs how she had been preparing to get the house straightened for his home coining. They had just moved into the cottage Monday and he was called away at 3 o’clock the next morning. The furniture had just been moved and nothing had been straightened before he left. Mrs. Holcomb planned to have every thing arranged and in order in their new home when the husband returned, and today the house was well straight ened to greet him. Now the furniture must be again packed and moved, for the widow and the two little girls will go to Resaca, Ga., to live. Resaca is their former home, and they had just left it for Atlanta Mon day. The funeral and interment of the dead fireman will be held at Resaca to morrow. Holcomb was one of two brothers, firemen on the Western and Atlantic road. Before going with this road he was a motorman on the street railway system in Chattanooga. Tenn. Engineer Kitchens left Atlanta last night for Chattanooga. From there he carried the trains for the excursion to Calhoun and began the return trip with it today. When staying in Atlanta he roomed at 40 Bartow street. His home is In Adairsville.

Kelley, of Decatur, mar ried Mrs. Annie Holder he thought he was capturing a widow, but now —seven years after he led that woman before a DeKalb county justice of the peace— he says he has been rudely awakened to the fact that Mrs. 'Kelley had never been divorced from George Holder when she married a second time. This Kelley alleges in a suit for an nulment of his marriage, filed in su perior court today. Kelley, who is the father of two children, asks the court to award them to him and Issue a dec laration of legitimacy. Kelley’s suit for annulment is not the only information superior court has had of the tangles in the Kelley home. Mrs. Kelley beat her husband to the court house by just two days, when she filed suit for total divorce Monday al leging desertion and cruel treatment and requesting alimony. Kelley told the court he had married Mrs. Holder May 25, 1905. They got a bungalow’ in Decatur and lived in un interrupted for seven years. Two children, Lera and Frank, came to the union. CHUfIC"H WINNER IN VIADUCT SOI! The state supreme court today decided that Bishop Nelson, of the Episcopal dio cese of Atlanta, and St. Philips cathedral can recover damages from the city of At lanta for the construction of the Wash ington street viaduct, if damage has real ly been done. Justice Beterly D. Evans, of the high court, in a lengthy opinion reversed the judgment of the superior court of Ful ton county on the grounds that decision in the trial court had been reached on purely speculative testimony bearing on real estate values, which should not have been admitted. Difference in Prices the Test. In bringing to a close a case that has been rehashed in local courts for two years, the supreme tribunal held that damages in such a case should be meas ured by the difference in the price of real estate before the viaduct was built and its present price. If the St. Philips cathe dral property will bring less.on the mar ket today than three years ago, the church has been damaged and can re cover. The court definitely put a ban on spec ulative real estate testimony when it held that evidence allowed by Judge Pen dleton in the trial court to the effect that the cleaning up of Collins street increased real estate values in (hat sec tion was merely cbnjectvral. Viaduct 12 Feet Above Ctiurch. The original suit was brought against the city shortly after the Washington street viaduct was built. The southern end of the viaduct fronts the church property for 283 feet and in one place the viaduct rises 12 feet above the level of the church. The efty maintained that property had increased in value as a re sult of the erection of the viaduct, and this contention was sustained by the Fi’lton courts. H. M.
