2 TENNESSEE TAFT MEN PUN J FLOP Steam Roller Adds Mississippi to the President's Column of Delegates. Continued From Page One. tlonai Republican convention days be fore it opened, witness'd such a lively squabble for their votes. Never have the negroes among them been treated to such lavish entertain ment and such solicitous i are by the representatives of rival candidates. Never has the real status of these del egations been more in doubt. Never has tin work of the steam roller left a mor. wabbly set of dele gates behind it, and never have the big men of the party themselves been more uncertain of th'- outcome. Third candidate moves have been made by the more conservative leaders of both sides, who want to “save tht organization,” and so far the compro mise moves have fallen flat because the two leading candidates for the nomina tion are backed by a partisan spirit among their followers as Intense as that which in former days existed be tween the two great political parties themselves. Southern Delegations Admitted Shaky. As tin convention draws nearer, pol iticians express Ihe belief that, after all, the work of the Republican na tional committee isn't going to tell the slot'.' . Tile steam roller has been work ing smoothly enough, but when Taft pqliti< lans themselves question the pos sible vote of some of the big men of the party who have been seated, and frankly admit that the Southern dele gations are shaky, the benefit derived from its work Is doubtful. < 'ertair.lj some of the moves have strengthened the < ‘olonol's cause. The seating of Taft delegates from the Fourth California district is one thing that has increased the bitterness man ifested by the Roosevelt men. It has driven at least one new Republican presidential elector. Fred S. Buggy, of the Sixth Indiana district, to declare his intention of joining the electors' bolt should the convention name any one except the Colonel. The bitterness is affecting also the status of the uninstructed delegates From many districts in many parts 01 the country where uninstructed delega tions have been named divided voles to promote mm h needed pat ty harmony are certain. Negro Delegates Cause of Worry. The question of handling ami land ing rhe Southern negroes has become a matter of foremost importance. Th-' gorgeous entertainment planned fol them, to be held at the Auditorium theater on Friday, has been postponed until Monday The convention will open Tuesday. The fact that the meet ing has been postponed and that more gorgeous plans have been mule lot holding it bus fostered in the breasts of the Taft men the belief that Roose velt himself will arrive Monday and ad dress flic meeting. That this would be of real impor tance the Taft men concede. The fact is that the real thing will get the Southern negroes in line and hold them there is a genuine hand wagon movement. One Indiana negro politician sent to the Roosevelt negro headquarters in South State street re turned and reported that the delegates were wavering "What they want to know.” he said, “is who is go ng to win. They are not worrying about anything else." Under the circumstances, Congress man McKinley's charge that Roosevelt men were trying to buy the Southern delegates caused a genuine sensation. The boldness of his statement, dove tailing into a situation where appar ently a little "political money” would do a lot of good, found people ready to accept tile charges as true. It was equally opportune for the Roosevelt men to m ike a counter charge and find that about as many otln r people would believe them. Outrageous, Say California Delegates L<>S ANGELES.

DRUG MEN FIGHT NEAR-BEER BILE Declare Alcohol Clause of Tip pins Measure Means Ruin to Trade in Georgia. Unless amended to meet the require ments bf the drug trade of the state, the famous Tippins bill, the first bill on the house calendar for consideration by the Georgia legislature at its forthcom ing summer session, will he bitterly fought by the druggists. The Tippins bill is primarily aimed at th. near-beer dealers and manufac turers of Georgia. Under Its provisions no beer or liquid compound manufac tured for sale as an "Imitation” beer could be sold in any event, and no compound whatsoever containing more than one per cent of alcohol could be marketed, either In wholesale or retail quantities. The passage of this bill, with the governor's signature attached, inevita bly would close every near-beer bar In Georgia. It would also absolutely stop the manufacture of beer or any Imita tion thereof. Druggists Ready For Fight. The druggists of the state do not op pose those things so strenuously as they do oppose the provision of the Tip pins bill which prohibits the sale ot any liquid compound containing more than one per cent of alcohol. The druggists of Georgia appointed a com mittee to confer with a legislative com mittee looking to the amending of the Tippins bill in such wise as to remove that objectionable feature, but the com mittee from the druggists claim that the bill was not so amended, as the leg islative committee said It should be, hence the druggists will tight it. as it stands. Druggists returning from the annual meeting of the Georgia Pharmaceutical association, now in session in Savan nah. say that the Tippins bill has been a topic of continued discussion during the progress of the convention. They say that the druggists will oppose it virtually to a man, in its present form. The druggists claim that the Tippins ’.ill would drive the sale of drugs abso. lately from the state, if enacted In its present form. They point out, for in stance. that paregoric, one of the com monest articles of sale in drug stores, would lie barred from the market under the operation of this bill, because it contains necessarily a high percentage of alcohol. They cite scores of other drugs that would be eliminated from tin trade by the Tippins bill. Early Vote on Bill Expected. Tho Tippins bill will come up for ac tion early in the summer session of the legislature. It lias been read in the house twice, and can hardly be kept from a vote long. After it passes the house, if it does pass, and it generally is predicted that It. will, it must go to I lie senate. If the senate passes it, there still is the chance that the gov ernor will veto it that, in all likeli hood. will depend upon the shape in which it gets to the governor. ylreatiy there is talk of amending it. bet-we it leaves the house. An amend ment providing for the abolition of locker clubs" Is being talked of, an other i nendmetit to meet the objec tions of the drug trade has its advo cates; while still another amendment, v.igue and Indefinite as yet. is living thought out, whereby it may be re ferred to the people for approval or re jection, as tile case may be, after it is passed by the legislature.

Knowledge of the right way to get back into a boat, as illustrated in The Georgian yesterday, would save many lives in accidents on the water. Today is shown the wrong way—-unfortunate ly followed in many cases. The persons who have been thrown out of the little craft are shown climb ing back over the side, and as a result the craft is being rapidly submerged. Had the three climbed over the stern, as was shown yesterday, the boat would not have filled with water and would virtually have maintained its equilib rium.

BIG RIOT GREETS NEW ITALIAN LAW 150 Wounded When Sicilians, Shorn of Fishing Rights, Defy Authorities. PALERMO, ITALY, June 13.—One hundred and fifty persons, including fifteen gendarmes, were wounded here today in rioting that caused a reign of terror over the entire city. Os the wounded a large number are women. Some of the victims will die. The trouble arose from the passage of a law restricting maritime agree ments. As the commerce of this port is heavy and fishing is a leading in dustry, Palermo was hard hit by the new law. The Sicilian members repre senting this district fought hard against the bill. As soon as word of the passage of the measure was received here the populace arose in wrath and marched through the streets to the municipal building, where a demand was made that all government officials resign at once. Tlie rioters threatened to burn the buildings. <’arabinieres and gendarmes were called and fired into the ranks of the strikers. Instead of being awed, the gun play only heightened the wrath of the people. After several hours of fierce fighting the mobs were finally scattered and the ringleaders arrested. A general strike has been ordered.

LONDON, June 13.—" There is wide spread regret among the hardy fisherfolk of Newfoundland that there was nobody aboard the Titanic to suggest tlie ob viously simplest and most effective meth od of saving the 2.500 persons on board. This could have - been done by simply utilizing the Ice floes in the vicinity as gigantic rafts, to which the passengers and crew might have been transferred,” writes the Hon. P. T. McGrath, a mem ber of the legislative council of New foundland, in the weekly “Canada” "It seems incredible,” he continues, "that in all the immense multitude of people aboard the liner nobody thought of this simple solution. It Is one that would have immediately commended it self to a Newfoundlander, and it is one that has won historical recognition through the most amazing escape in the whole annals of authentic adventure. Drift 1,600 Mlles on Floe. "I refer to the famous ice floe journey of the survivors of the Arctic steamer Polaris, who, in April. 1873, were picked up by the Newfoundland sealing steamer Tigress on .an ice floe on the Grand Banks, after having drifted some 1.600 miles, their absolutely unique voyage having occupied 193 days. "The ship had been crushed In the ice in North Greenland waters the previous November, and, as is the Invariable prac tice in these regions, they abandoned the ice-gored hull and took to the floes in order to reach the land. A storm came up and the floe was driven southward. For six months it was their floating home. "This, however, though tlie most re markable case of its kind, is by no means the only case of shipwrecked people es caping death by taking refuge on an ice berg. Whenever a Newfoundland sealing steamer Is crushed by the pack—as hap pens to one or other of the flotilla almost every spring -the crew' at once betake themselves to the nearest floes with their clothing, provisions, boats, and other im pediments, and there remain until some others of the fleet come upon them and take them aboard” BULL FALLS INTO DITCH IN FIGHT WITH MOTORCYCLIST EGG HARBOR.

List of Injured Reaches Seventy-Five DALTON, GA„ June 13.—Cots scat tered throughout several parks, con taining those who were seriously in jured in the wreck of the Knights of Pythias special from Calhoun to Chat tanooga yesterday, was the unique sight here throughout the afternoon. The wreck resulted in three being killed and 75 injured, eight seriously. The injured were placed beneath the trees in the open air, as the day was excessively hot, and there the physi cians went among them, ministering to them and alleviating the suffering Scores of Dalton women sat beside the cots, fanning the injured and giv ing them water. Hundreds of people thronged the streets, many remaining around the depot to get latest news from the scene of the wreck.

FACTS PROVE ABSURD CLAIMS MADE TO 122 DELEGATESBY WILSON WASHINGTON. June 13.—Their pa tience exhausted by statements Issued from the Wilson headquarters in which a lead in delegates is claimed over Speaker Clark, the Clark managers have made a close analysis of the Wil son figures. The paper total of the New Jersey candidate is reduced to 12? votes, leaving him with an utmost strength of 244 votes in the Baltimore convention. The last figures issued by the Wilson management claimed for him a total of 244 votes in the Baltimore conven tion. The last figures issued .by the Wil son management claimed for him a to tal of 366 delegates, and conceded 349 delegates to Clark. As a matter of fact,. Clark has a sure total of 490 delegates, as against 244 at the very utmost for Wilson. Following is the Clark analysis of the Wilson figures, state by state: "The table gives him 76 In Pennsyl vania, when in fact he is certain of only 40, which is well known to ail who are familiar with the Pennsylva nia situation. "Wisconsin had preferential prima ries, Speaker Clark carried four dis tricts, which certainly gives him 8. Clark headquarters has positive infor mation Insuring the speaker nine votes at least from Wisconsin. “The Wilson table claims all the Wis consin delegation of 24. Has No Votes in Ohio. "The table gives Wilson 19 in Ohio. The state convention has instructed the Ohio delegation to vote as a unit for Governor Harmon, so that these 19 votes should not be counted for Wil son. “There are eight Wilson men. or men with leaning toward Wilson, in the Michigan delegation, but it is by no means certain that they will vote for Wilson, as they are uninstructed. The Wilson table claims 15 in Michigan. "There are but seven men In the Tennessee delegation who are not in favor of Speaker-Clark. Eight of the delegates are instructed for Clark and nine more pledged. The Wilson table gives Wilson twelve in Tennessee. Gov ernor Wilson is not certain of receiv ing more than three or five votes in the Tennessee delegation. "The Wilson table counts fifteen from Virginia, where. In fact, there are but five men on the Virginia delegation who are friendly to the Wilson candida cy; but as the delegation is uninstruct ed# the action of this delegation is in doubt. "In the Louisiana delegation there are 13 Clark men out of 20. The re mainder are divided between Wilson and Underwood. The Wilson table claims ten from Louisiana. raise Claims in Maine. "The Wilson table claims eight from Maine. Three of the members of the Maine delegation have a leaning to ward Governor Wilson. But as the del egation is uninstructed, its action is in doubt. "The Wilson table cotints New Hamp shire. A preference vote was taken in tlie New Hampshire state convention, tn which Speaker Clark received the unanimous Indorsement of the conven tion. and members of the delegation ad dressed the convention, stating that they would be bound by the vote taken in the convention, and pledged them selves to vote for Clark.

Ga State name of trouble, if you know for Wilson, is composed of three Clark men. one Wilson man. and two unde cided. If four members of the dele gation were to vote for Clark, under the unit rule, the entire six votes would be cast for Clark on the first ballot. “The Wilson figures count Utah with six. which is without good reason. The Utah deb gates will undoubtedly fall 'in line with the rest of the West for Clark, as their delegation is the only uninstructed delegation west of thi Missouri river. , "In Porto Rico the latest informa tion is that the regular delegation, backed by Committeeman D. H. Field is for Clark. This delegation is con tested by the so-called Native Porto Rican Democracy, which instructed these delegates for Wilson. Accord.ng to a decision of the court in Porto Rico, it has been determined that tlie Field organization is the regular party in Porto Rico. A Claim That Is Lauohable. "The claim of two for Wilson in Illi nois and one in Arizona is laughable. Clark carried Illinois by 140.900 ma jority, and he carried practically every voting precinct in Arizona in preferen tial primaries and had a majority of about ten to one over .Wilson in the state. There is no ground for the claim of any delegates in either slate for any candidate except Clark. "The Wilson table counts two in West Virginia for Governor Harmon. Ignoring the action of the West Vir- « gina sta.te convention, which in structed Its delegates in the entire state to vote for Clark, and to vote on all questions as a unit. “The Wilson table, by some feat of mathematical legerdemain, ignores the result of the Massachusetts primaries, and takes the 36 votes of that state away from Clark. Governor Foss is not a candidate and has repeatedly stated that he is not. according to our information, and the 36 votes of Massa chusetts will be cast for Clark, who carried the preferential primaries. “Speaker Clark received more votes in each congressional district and in the state at large than any delegate who had printed over his name a pledge for any other candidate. These votes instructed delegates to vote for Speaker Clark. This Is the Real Standing. "The following shows in a compara tive way the Wilson table and the ac tual strength of Wilson in the follow ing states: Actual Wilson Wilson table, strength. Pennsylvania 76 40 * Wisconsin 24 17 Ohio 19 0 Jvfichigan 15 8 Tennessee 12 5 Virginia 15 5 Louisiana 10 7 Maine 8 3 New Hampshire 8 0 Delaware 6 1 Utah 6 0 Pqrto Rico 6 0 Illinois 2 0 Arizona 1 0 Total 208 86 Discrepancy, 122. Subtracting this discrepancy from the Wilson claimed total of 366 leaves his utmost strength 244 votes, as against a certain 490 and a possible 510 for Speaker Clark to date.
