WILSON TO KEEP
GOVERNORSHIP
Hoke Smith Scheduled to Call
on Democratic Presidential
Nominee Today.
SEAGIRT, N. J , Aug. 2. Governor
Wilson made positive announcement to
day that he would not resign the gov
ernorship of New Jersey during his cam
paign for the presidency.
‘•Governor, have you definitely derided
as to whether you will resign the gov
ernorship?” asked the newspaper men.
”Np, I shall not resign,” was the reply.
It is understood that immediately after (
the Boston convention the big leaders
in Democratic politics from all the big
states had a conference with the gov
ernor on this matter, and it was decided
to follow’ the precedent that President
Cleveland had set.
In addition to this. Governor Wilson
has been besieged by his friends through
out the state of New Jersey urging him
not to resign so that a number of re
forms that the nominee has been advo
cating will not be left unfinished.
The governor expressed deep gratifi ‘
cation today at the numerous letters
coming to him from the Champ <’lark ;
league of California, pledging their sup- ;
port and sending contributions. I pward ;
of 200 of these letters have reached Sea- I
girt up to date.
Governor Wilson had a comparatively i
free day today. Senator Hoke Smith, '
of Georgia; Senator Culberson, of Texas, '
and Representative Clayton, of Alabama,
chairman of the house judiciary commit- 1
tee, were expected at the “Little W hlte
House.”

INTO EYES OF MAN SHE
SAYS INSULTED HER
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2. —Pretty seven
teen-year-okl Myrtle Peebles, of Crys
tal City, Mo., Is charged with common
assault, following her visit to the of
fice of City Collector L. B. Larned,
when she accused him of Insulting her, :
and threw r< d pepper in his eyes.
Other warrants are for her mother, Mrs.
William Peebles, and her sweetheart.
Charles Nelson.
Larned, who both because of his
business copnections and political
prominence is one of the best known ,
men in Jefferson county, fndignatly
protested he was not guilty of insult
ing the girl.
The attack on Larned, who is 40
years old, married and the father of
two email children, occurred in his
office.
The girl, who is employed in a gen
eral mercantile store In Crystal City,
said Larned, after she refused to go to
St. Louis with him, asked her if she
would meet him when she quit work.
Mrs. Peebles said Larned at first de
nied he had made the alleged state
ments, and then he offered an apology,
the mother said. While he was speak
ing the girl dashed the pepper into his
eyes.
Larned, in asking for the warrants
against Mrs. Peebles, her daughter and
Nelson, denied he insulted the girl or
had given her any cause for offense.

WOULD TRANSPORTCITY
CONVICTS BY TROLLEY
Councilman Claude Mason said to
day one of the reforms he would urge
in regard to a better plan of improving
streets in Atlanta would be to trans
port convicts and materials by trolley
cars. Mr. Mason said he was sure such
a contract could be made with the
Georgia Railway and Power Company.
All the city convicts and wagons are
kept at the stockade, In the southeast

lost in going to and from work. Mr. !
Mason said his idea is to a save time. |
