JULY 9 DECIDED ON FOR ALBANY DEBATE ONE LIBERAL SLAIN IN PANAMA ELECTION FEW FREE FIGHTS RESULT FROM BALLOTING AT THE POLL?. By Private Leased Wire. Panama, June 26.—In the elections yesterday the Constitutional party was victorious In Panama City and the provinces of Code, Veragua and Chlr- qulx. The elections were orderly with the exception of a few fights, which were without serious results, until late In the afternoon, when a clash took place between Liberals and policemen, who were protecting ballot boxes at Santa Ana park. Nine policemen and Jose Antonio Paredes, a member of on* of the best families In Panama, were badly wounded, and one Liberal was klllef. Forty armed policemen restored order, but It Is believed serious fighting may take place tonight unless marines are landed from the United States cruiser Marblehead.

FOURTEEN ARE HURT IN CRASH OF TRAINS EXPRESS SMA8HE8 INTO PAS SENGER TRAIN IN RAILROAD YARDS IN MICHIGAN. By Private L*es*d Wire. Adrian. Mich, June 25.—Westbound Lake Shore train crashed Into the Dun dee branch paaaenger engine today at the company’s yards here, badly wreck ing the Dundee engine. Fourteen persona ware Injured, one seriously. Mrs. Mary Boganup. 50 years of age, of Chicago, received a serious wrench of the back and right knee. Continued from Pegs On*. EXCESSIVE RAIN vented the theater from becoming un bearable. The heat had a curious ef feet on the two speakers. Mr. Howell, small ot lUm SBfwarsd cool throughout. Mr. Smith, ponderous nnd fleshy, was s dripping fount cf perspl ration. Shining rivulets coursed dow-L his face nnd, unchecked, melted the collar quickly Into pulpy softness. But he didn't seem to mind. At the conclusion of Mr. Howell 1 opening speech. Mr. Smith came for ward, as though ho held within him the grim purpose of annihilation. His great voice rolled to every part of the build ing. and brought hla admirers to their feet In a tempest of waving hats and handkerchiefs and a raucous thunder of yells. Mr. Smith's reading ot the Howell letjer. to Watson brought the usual laughter and catcalls: in comment he said : It looks like Clark sought Watson 1 support and didn’t get it: that I didn't seek It and did get It. And I am not ashamed to have lt.“ Somehow that statement did not meet with any whirlwind of enthusiastic approval. Offers to Bet. Several times In refutation of asser tlons made by Mr. Howell, Mr. Smith made offers to prove hla Incorrectness by putting up from 2500 to 21.000, the loser to pay over'the amount to Mlsa Berry's school. Four such propositions were made by Mr. Smith. A Roman commented afterwards: •The only’ p>)ialb!e good I can out of the debate waa lost when those fellows wouldn't put up the velvet, so Miss Berry could get a financial lift for her-echool." Mr. Howell accepted Mr. Smith 1 wager proposition In reference to his statement of conditions that would pre vail In North Carolina when the die- franchlsement law went Into effect. When he arose to conclude, after wait Ing patiently for the applause to sub side, he presented Smith with a written agreement. A breathless hush fell over the house as Mr. Smith perused It, wrote some thing and then arose and said he would accept It If Mr. Howell would allow hla amendment to go In It. If Mr. 8mlth was not worsted by the tttrownlng down of the gauntlet, then human bearing never Indicated It. Howell Applause RegnanL For an Instant the audience sat In profound alienee, then like a tornado boomed out a tumult of crlee and com menta Mr. Smith hesitated and sank Into hla seat, while the Howell folks literally drowned out the efforts of the Smith people to back up their mai\. It waa flva minutes before Mr. Howell could resume. Mr. Howell had many thtnga he avl dently wanted to aay In that concluding half hour, but he rushed from Issue to Issue In hla eagerness to answer the chargee of hla adversary. And as soma one yelled, "What about those nigger appointments 7" Colonel T. W. Alexan der, presiding officer, announced that the time had expired. Then a stream of frantic humanity raced across the stage and bore the candidates from the building In mad enthusiasm. Calmly summarised, Mr. Howell made the best Impression In Borne he has made yet. As The Georgian stated Sat urday, If any alight shads of sentiment marked the crowd for either, It would go to Mr. Smith, but It wet ao In tangible It would be difficult to prove a positive assertion. But you can get bets at odds In Rome tbat Mr. Smith will carry Floyd county. Only August 22 will Anally determine the accuracy of that THE PROPOSITION TO BET, | AND HOW IT HAPPENED. Quite the feature of the Rome debate In the point of Interest aroused among the audience woe the tilt as to tho North Carolina disfranchisement law and the proposition Mr. Smith ifiade to bet on It. Here la the way It hap pened, according to ths stenographic report: In hie flrat speech Mr. Howell said this: 1 ‘They tall you that North Carolina has acted and has adopted the grand father clause which will protect the Illiterate white voters In that state, and ■•et they do not tell you that that clauae s declared to be Inoperative and goes out of existence January 1, 1902, a year and a half from this time, at which time nobody will be entitled to register and vote unless educationally quallffed under the terms of the North Carolina law.” In hla speech Mr. Smith said: "The North Carolina law does not, two years from now, require all men to stand the test of voting upon their edu cational capacity. It does nothing of the sort. You are entirely mistaken, elr. If you will agree, when you rise to make your concluding argument, to put up 21,000 as a present to Miss Ber ry's school If you are right, I will put up 21.000 for the earns purpose If I am wrong. (Prolonged applause.) Mr. Howell stated that next year all the voters of North Carolina who were registered would be tested by the edu cational quatlffcatlon, and that they have to stand It to be registered and that as the result thousands of man, now voters, would be disqualified. That waa his statemsnt.. I say If you will bark that statement with 21,000 ‘for Miss Berry’s school, I will back mine with 21.000. (Applause.) Howell stepped forward and read the following paper, which he had written during Mr. Smith’s epeech: "If after January I, 1102, North Car olina does not pas*/to an educational quallflcatlon pure and simple, disfran chising all. whites and blacks alike, after that day, unless they are educa tlonally qualified, then 1 agree to do nate to Miss Berry’s school 21,000, If Mr. Smith agrees to donate the same tha statement Is Incorrect." Mr. Smith took the paper, read It over and than said: "I want to add one Una to this, and that Is, This applies to all who have registered before 1202.’" "But I never made any such state ment,” shouted Mr. Howell, "and that was not your original proposition. What I said waa that North Carolina’s fran chise law becomes operative January 1, 1202, insofar as It affects registra tion. and the voting folldwlng all regis tration after January 1, 1141.” Mr. Smith shook hla head to signify that he would not agree to sign the paper.

Now, then, was he a candidate for governor when he voted for It? He says he does not want to stand on a technicality. Prob ably he had not formally announced for governor In 1201, when he voted for the port rate, but he certainly was a candidate for governor when he voted nON. II. WARNER HILL MAKES A REPLY TO IION. J. POPE BROWN. To the Editor of The Georgian: In an Interview with Hon. J. Pope Brown, published In Wednesdsy'a Is sue of The Atlanta Journal, It Is stated that "he was asked about ths charge of the Hon. Warner HUI against him self that he voted against ths ‘port rates' when he was not a candidate for governor, and voted for them when he was.” And Mr. Brown la quoted as saying: "Mr. Hill la mistaken about that—I am here at the cepltol now for tha purpose of getting the record on that subject. I have It In my pocket. It shows -that I voted for the port rate In the summer of lffit, which waa long before 1 became a candidate and really the reverse of Mr. Hill's proposition la mop* nearly correct, for I should eay that I voted for the port rate when I waa not a candidate, and did not vote for It when I was a candidate. But I do not care to uke advantage of any technicality,” etc. Mr. Brown, from the above, would leave the Impression that he never voted against the port rate. But the flies of ths office of the railroad com mission show that on the 17th day ot April, 1*02, the commission as a whole voted again*’, the port rate, as will be seen by the following extract from the flies In that office: ■ "The conclusion of the commission tbat the clrcumstancea do not require nor justify It to order a reduction In rates from Atlanta to Savannah and Brunswick. • • • The petition la therefore, dismissed ” ~I hereby certify that the foregoing Is correct extract from the file* of the railroad commissi on In the 'port rats’ case.—Geo. F. Montgomery. Sec." Mr. Brown was a member of the com mission at tbat time. I was not. The decision was unanimous, hence he voted against the port rate on the 17th day of April, 1*02. Thl* was before he had announced as a candidate for governor. candidate for governor when ne voted for It on May 10, 1102, because In The Atlanta Journal of June 4, 1201, he has a latter, dated Hawklnavllle, Msy 21, 1*06, withdrawing from ths race. And even the vote In July, 1*04, waa but a few months before hla formal entry Into the race. In hie above letter of withdrawal he aald: "Before consenting to make tha race _ sent otu a letter ot Inquiry to a num ber of people In every county to learn the public sentiment, as far as possi ble." He had, therefore, sent out hie "feelers," which ante-dated probably by some months hie formal announce ment, and to all Intents and purposes ha was a candidate. lie waa so re garded by hie friends. He had even contemplated running, according to the newspapers, four year* previously, whan Governor Terrell and others war* candidates. I think It la perfectly clear, therefore, from the records that Mr. Brown voted once against ths port ret* when he was not a candidate, and once for the port rate when he was a can didate—aa stated In my letter, and to which Mr. Brown objects. But the main question Is, did he vote both against the port rate and for the port rate? The flies of the office of the railroad commission show that he did both. So It will be clearly seen that I was not "mistaken," as stated by Mr. Brown. Now, just a word as to why I alluded at all to Mr. Brown In my letter to the prase on the l(th Instant, Mr. Smith, as candidate for governor, had made a speech In which be said that Hon. Pope Brown had voted for the people In voting for the port rate, and that Hon. Joseph M. Brown and myself had voted against the people In voting against the port rat*. This I denied and still deny. And I asked this ques tion ‘whether Hon. Pope Brown waa right when he voted for the port rate or was he right when he voted against It? To be perfectly frank, there was an other reason I alluded to Mr. Brown. He made a speech at Perry a few week* ago for his friend, Hoke Smith, which he bad a perfect right to do, but In discussing hi* motion to reduce the passenger fare from t to 2 cents per mile he laid that one member of the commission gave as a reason for vot ing against It that “the people did not want It."
