— - PEACE EFFORT FAILS; BRYAN TO FIGHT I CRACKERS’ DOUBLE-HEADER WITH TURTLES RAINED OUT: TWO GAMES TOMORROW The Atlanta Georgian VOL. X. PBOSraiS MB m AGAINST PARKER Il GIMM FLOOR BALTIMORE, June 24.—The fight over the temporary chair manship of the Democratic national convention will go to the convention floor. The peace conference between Alton B. Par ker, Wil Ham J. Bryan, Norman E. Mack and Dr. P. L. Hall, of Nebraska, having failed. "No agreement has been* reached," said Dr. Hall, as he left the conference. "The fight will go before the convention." As Bryan left Chairman Mack’s room he was asked what had occurred. "It was a very pleasant meeting,’’ he said. In response to the question, ‘ ‘ Will a progressive be made chairman?" he replied shortly: "I think so." BALTIMORE, June 24.—The delegates supporting Oscar W. Underwood are to stand back of the national committee should that body ratify the selection of Parker for temporary chair man. That announcement was made today by Thomas W. Owens, secretary of the Underwood national campaign committee. BALTIMORE. June 24. —Because of the bitter partisanship that grew out of the fight over the recommendation for the tem porary chairmanship of the Democratic national convention, the national committee, adjourned this afternoon without taking a vote. The adjournment followed the report of the sub-commit tee on arrangements, recommending Alton B. Parker, of New York for the place, and a statement from Committeeman P. L. Hall, of Nebraska, that if Parker were chosen by the committee, William Jennings Bryan would fight the election in the conven tion itself. Hall and Norman E. Mack, chairman of the national committee, were named as a special peace committee to discuss the situation and effect harmony. BRYAN NOT TO GO BEFORE COMMITTEE. While the national comipittee was in session Bryan annouced that he would lead a fight against Parker on the floor of the con vention. and that if necessary he would become a candidate for the chairmanship himself. Bryan asserted, however, that under no circumstances would he go before the national committee and lead the fight there. Mr. Bryan said: ‘I will not under any circum stances go before the national committee and lead the fight for anything, and I will not fake the cause which I represent before the national committee. if the issue becomes so involved as to make it necessary, I will fight on the. floor of the convention, not before the national committee. If it becomes necessary in order to defeat the reactionaries as repre sented by Mr. Parker. I will my self become a candidate for the temporary chairmanship. I do not believe it will be necessary, Hn d if I do take such a step it will be only because it is neces sary. ' ■ If no other progressive can be found to lead the fight I will become the can didate myself." Bryan continued. "This fight on the temporal chairmanship ivill be carried to Hie floor of the con vention. If they want a fight, there will be no compromise." Western Progressives Behind Bryan. The first announcement of the Ne braskan's intention to enter the lists ...Tine from Delegate G. S. Gillan, of St. Paul. Nebr. Gillan asserted that the Piogresisves of the West were backing Bryan in his anti-Parker fight. He said that they believed that Bryan would-master sufficient strength on the floor to beat the New Yorker. The announcement came as a sur prise in political circles. It was gene rally expected that the Bryan heavy artillery would be wheeled into line first to bombard the national commit tee. Il was rumored before the com mittee went into session that Bryan might sit in the meetings, himself on the proxy on the committee. Th< fight will be carried to the floor, and it is now generally believed here will be the ease that will give the first test of the progressive strength in the »(invention. The Democratic national committee went into session at 12<1tt o'clock The mattmanship was taken up. The first NO. 281. Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—-Use For Result* case came when the sub-committee on arrangements reported its decision that Alton B. Parker be named temporary chairman. The second struggle was the hearing of the 79 contests over delegate seats. Newspaper Men Barred From Meeting. The committee went into executive session at 12:12 o'clock. Chairman Mack said that the representatives of the news associations would not be permitted to remain and cleared the room of all others save actual com mittee members. William J. Bryan did not appear with a proxy, as had been suggested, and his non-appearance was taken as an indication that he had found it hope less to make a committee fight and would go straight to the convention with such fight as he may elect to make. Senator B. R. Tillman of South Caro lina said as he came to the session: "I had a talk with Mr. Bryan just now and he seems to think that they have brought the steam roller over from Chicago.” It was learned that Mr. Bryan had agreed to make the race for chairman himself if such a course seemed neces sary to the opponents of Parker. Vote on Chairman Is Deferred. At 12:44 the Democratic national committee took a recess of fifteen min utes. When the committee took a recess it was reported that the names of both Parker and Bryan had been presented. While the committee was behind locked doors, three man named at a caucus of the Pennsylvania delegation tried to get to their committeeman with this resolution: "Resolved. That the member of the national committee for Pennsylvania be instructed to oppose the selection of A, B. Parker as temporary chairman of the convention." This resolution was passed by a vote of 59 to 6. P. L. Hall, a member of the com mittee from Nebraska, It was learned, served notice on the committee that the name of W. J. Bryan would not be placed before the committee, but would go to the convention proper. Vote on the chairmanship was de ferred on motion of Mr. Daniels until after the contests. Hall and Mack were named as a committee to make peace in two hours and report. Meanwhile. Chairman Mack and P. I. Continued on Psge Two.

Potter, today in front of his own residence and may die at any min ute. Mrs. Potter, daughter of Mr. Rich ards, gave birth to a son about nine days ago. Potter, after the shooting, said that, his father-in-law, Council man Richards, accused him of neglect ing his wife and advanced on him with a brick, when he (Potter) drew his gun and fired three times at his legs.

June 24.—Tom Watson still was certain today that he would not attend the Baltimore convention. He has canceled all reservations and over the telephone today said that he most as suredly would not go. Several years ago at a dinner given in New York attended by Mr. Watson he suffered a violent attack of ptomaine poi soning and each year since the attack has recurred. For about three weeks he has been suffering from this trouble and con stantly growing weaker, and at the pres ent time is unable to be out of his bed. His condition is not critical, nor is he suffering from any nervous attack. It is simply the annual attack of ptomaine poi son. His physician, Dr. H. 1., Culbertson, from Lincoln county, recently visited him and advised him that it was entirely out of the question for him to go to Balti more. Mr. Watson agreed with him KILLS FELLOW GUARD AT FEDERAL PRISON; THEN GIVES SELF UP As the result of a dispute aver a movement to gain a raise in salaries, James T. Vance, a guard at the Fed eral prison, today shot and fatally wounded a fellow guard named M. L. Connors. The shooting took place In the yard of Mrs. Snice, just across the street from the reservation. Connors died on the operating table in the prison hospital. After shooting down the other guard, Vance reloaded the two pistols that he carried, went leosurely over to Warden Moyer’s office and gave himself up. He was arrested and locked up. DELUGE OF RAIN AND HAILSTORM HIT CITY; STREETS IN TORRENTS The hardest hail and rain storm of the season hit Atlanta this afternoon. Rain fell in such torrents that In many streets the sewers were too small to cj rry off the deluge. With the rain came hail. Some of the stones were more than half an inch in diameter. While the storm lasted the streets of the city were almost entirely de serted and considerable traffic was de lay»A- ATLANTA, GA.. MONDAY, JUNE SENTENCE OF YEAH IN JUL EOHSAM'L GOMPERS z Head of Labor Federation. Morrison and Mitchell Are Guilty of Contempt. WASHINGTON June 24.—Justice Wright of the District supreme court tbday found Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell, of the American Federation of Labor, in con tempt of court for violating an injunc tion issued against the boycott in the Bucks Stove and Range Company's caste. Gompers was sentenced to twelve months in jail and Morrison to sij months. Mitchell was not sentenced as he was not in court. Counsel for the defendants filed an appeal to the district court of appeals and they were released on bond. Justice Bitterly Denounces Defendants. Justice, Wright read a bitter de nunciation of the labor leaders, and declared the American Federation of Labor designedly suppressed the truth of the situation “in its fight against the stove company.” The "unfair” list and the ”we don't patronize” list merely were Synonyms of “boycott,” he ruled. Taking up the question of defiance of the respondents to the court's decree, Justice Wright stated they constituted themselves into a tribunal to defy the legality of the court's orders for the purpose of carrying out their own de signs in the campaign in question. He cited the expression "go to • with your injunction” in one of Gompers’ ut terances to demonstrate the defiance of the labor leaders, and declared Gom pers’ “hostility to the court” and "rev olutionary determination” was further emphasized by a speech he made at the Jamestown exposition. Editorials in The Federationlst, the decision said, further carried out the design of the officials. These appeared in January and February, 1908. Cites Statements Os Mitchell, Too. Justice Wright also read excerpts from speeches and statements from Vice President Mitchell, wherein the latter expressed his attitude toward the court and injunctions, one statement being: » “If a judge can enjoin me from ex ercising the right of free speech, I should feel compelled to exercise my constitutional liberty.” The labor men twice were tried. They were adjudged guilty on the first trial, and Gompers was sentenced to a year, Mitchell to nine months and Morrison to six months in jail. The United States supreme court re versed the sentence on the ptea that the proceedings had been improperly insti tuted. The District supreme court im mediately set afoot a new contempt proceedings. Gompers and Morrison were in court and smiled at the bitter words of Jus tice Wright. Gompers Hits Back At Justice Wright WASHINGTON, June 24.—Charging that Justice Wright completed his de cision in the contempt case more titan a inontl) ago, but withheld it until after the Republican national convention, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, issued a statement late today attacking Jus tice Wright's attitude in the case, and alleging the facts were suppressed and Gompers’ motives, as well as those of his colleagues, misrepresented. H ■ said: "Justice Wright physically lives in our time, but his decision and sen tences disclose a mental concept of more than two centuries ago, when the workman was either a slave or a serf. "If Justice Wright imagines that by Imposing prison sentences upon my associates and myself he can stop Hu man progress, he has missed his point. Long after he has gone, long after he may have attempted to sentence us, others will speak; others will be heard, and the principles for which we are now contending and perhaps may suf fer, will be established beyond perad venture. “Information just came to me that the decision which Justice Wright ren dered today was completed more than a month ago, but withheld until after the close of the Chicago (national) convention. If true, the inference is abvious." 24, 1912. BASEBALL AND RACING RACES RESULTS. AT LATONIA. First—Briar Path, 11.80, first; Go Well, 6.90; The Widow Moon, 2.60.
