STILL RAVING" Thomas E. Watson Makes as Unseeml Exhibition of Himself. ACTS LIKE A CRAZY MAJ localise Hoke Smith Does Not FhI Down and Worsliip Him the Grea Has been Wants to Defeat Hin for Governor and Urges Governoi Brown to Oppose Him. | To disregard the nomination o Hoke Smith for Governor of Georgia on the ground that Democrats an not 'bound by the primary, whict chose him, because of the method: by which the primary was conducted was the advice of Thomas E. Wat ?/->n rtrtro Pnmilist candidate for th< Presidency, in a speech at a mass meeting, c-alled by himself at Atlan ta Wednesday night. He urgec Democrats to vote for Governor Jos eph M. Brown, for another term although Brown is not a nominee declaring that voters are free tc treat the Smith nomination as nul and void. What Watson called "ljossism* and the alleged use of "money and whiskey in elections, and the secur ing of nominations by fraud and decepetions" were the reasons he gavt fp.C, insurging against tho regulai Democratic nominee. Watson referred to Smith's statement of $17.000 campaign expenses, declaring that this did not cover more th:ir n'oi ovnonspc from othei Ilftil U1 1117 CV/tai sources. He objected to the use of so much money in campaigns a6 a dangerous tendency. He claimed that in 1 he nominating committee the representatives of the 93,000 Democrats, who voted in the primaries for Brown were "reduced to silence" by the Convention rules; and that then the representatives of the 97,000, wlu voted for Smith, were "subdued by those new rules into a state ol speechless imbecility." The uproar, which cut short his previous speech here, Watson charg ed, was instigated by what ho c-^lied the "rule or ruin" clique, which dominated the nominating Convention. Speaking further of this intjrup tion, Watson said: "Although no such idea was in my mind at the time, I have been firmly convinced that some of the rioters had assassination in mind. "The situation in Georgia bears a striking resemblance to that which existed in Tennessee just .before Carmack was killed. "When Southern Congressmen," said the speaker, "assist stand-pat Republicans to put a tax of 37 per cent, on the rich men's champaene, after having taxed the poor man's blanket at 165 per cent, what ber.er evidence would you want that the voice of the people is no longer heaud in *he making of our lav:'" Watson charged that vote bai'tPi lng existed in the highest legislative iho cnuntrv. and that "our umtro vi i**v ww , representatives sell out, betraying their constituents for a mess of Federal patronage." He predicted thai unless "this spirit of lawlessness" is checked, "our wives and daughters will be subject to insult where-over tehy appear alone on a side street." He advocated remodeling tha National Democratic Convention so as to give full representation to those States which go Democratic and proportional representation to 'hose which do not. a move which he said would be the South's firpt 'tep ":.c recover her ante-bellum power in th* Union." Near the close of his speech Mr Watson said: "I am authorised tc gay that if the people call on Go/evnor Brown he will serve. Today 1 had a confidential talk with J. R Smith (Governor Brown's campaign manager.) and Mr. Smith will hell in our fight." Asked after the speech whethei Governor Brown had authorized him to make any statement, Mr. Watsor said the Governor had not, but thai he was confident the Governor woulc accept if reelected. Mr. Watson did not propose an* plan to place Governor Brown's nami on the official ballot. Mr. Watson spoke in a local thea tre, which was largely filled througl atmrission by card before the door were thrown open to the genera public. PIT IX THE PEX.

PRAISES THEN HIGHLY XO BRAVER TROOPS WERE EVy ER MARSHALLED FOR Conflict Than Southern Soldiers, l| Says Commander Samuel R. Van Sant to Union Veterans. I With a fine tribute to the soldiers of the Confederacy, Commander-in* Chief Samuel R. Van Sant, of Minnei sota Thursday formally opened che . business session of the national eur campment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Atlantic City, N. J. The f commander spoke earnestly as he expressed his gratification at the ina creasing fraternization of the "bluo ' , and "gray." 5 When he said that no braver troops were ever marshalled for con. tiict than the Southern soldiers, and ? that the Union veterans now real3 ize that no men ever made greater . sacrifices for what they believed to j be right than their former foes, the . commander was applauded.

J 'The great feat of crossing the snow-capped Alpine barrier between t Switzerland and Italy in a heavier i than air machine was accomplished * Friday by George Chavese, the young Peruvian aviator. c The plucky hero of the exploit, t however, lies in a local hospital bad- f lv injured as the result of an acci- c dent that occurred just as he had completed the most arduous and a nerve-raking portion of a task he had set out to accomplish?a flight r from Brig, Switzerland, across the t Alps to Milan in ltaiy, in au a ais- r tance of about 75 miles. t Both his legs are broken, his left h thigh is fractured and his body is b badly contused; but the physicians t in attendance are of the opinion that \ these hurts will not prove fatal and t that unless unlooked for complications ensue Chavese will be about, I in two months. C The accident occurred as Chav- e ese was endeavoring to make a land- r ing at Poinodossola, Jtaly. The 1; Alps had been crossed successfully and the aviator was descending with t the power of his machine cut off. b When about thirty feet above the t ground a sudden gust of wind seem- F ed to catch the monoplane, which J turned over and fell. When crowds li fv>af had hoon wnffhin? the descent t ran up they found Chavese lying a twisted and bleeding beneath the o twisted wreckage. a Fifty miles away lay Milan, the u goal for which he was seeking in order to win the prize of $20,000 'h offered by the Italian Aviation so- li ciety. Chavese lost the race. t The weather at Brig was clear and s bright when Chavese made his start t' Leaving the ground with his motor ti running at full speed he rose in sweeping circles until he had reach- C ed an altitude sufficient for him to C crear the shoulder to the southeast- h ward of Zrig. w This obstacle having been over- a come, the Peruvian aviator headed his monoplane straight for the snow- ti capped crags of the Fletchern. Con- v stantly ascending, Chavese reached n the Simplon Kulm, where, at an al- e titude estimated at 7,200 feet, he n turned his machine south over the a terrifying Simplon pass with the a Kaltwasser glacier at his left and the w frozen peak of the Huhschhorn at. his w right. After crossing the divide, Chavese turned to the towering white mountain head of Monte Leone, which j rises to a height of 1 6,644 feet, and passed down above the Gonde gorge, until he reached the open valley of Vedro, and then descended easily toword Domodossola, which is 889 feet above sea level. It was here thai the accident occurred. ? Some of the spectators of the flight say that Chavese, after cross- v ing the Simplon pass, followed the ? short cut route over the Monseera 1 pass, which is 8,000 feet above sea a level. If this lie so, it is possible J1 that the Peruvian beat his own world's record for height of 8,271. ? The 23 miles between Brig and Domodossola, which it took the ar- " f mies of Napoleon a fortnight to negotiate. Chavese accomplished by 11 the route of the eagle in a?:actly forty ruinutes. J1 From the high point at Monseera 1 he descended 7.000 feet in 13 min- 1 f utes, his machine gaining in momentum as it flew over the jumble of v lower peaks, gulches and hills lvjyond c until the speed was terrific as it ap- e proached the aerodrome at Homo- ^ dossla. This doubtless caused the acci- v dent which turned the cheers of fid- 1 miration of the waiting crowd into a cries of horror when the machine r came hurling to the ground just as c it seemed that Chavese was a1>out to a alight in safety. !| After treatment in the hospital Chavese regained consciousness but a was unable to explain how the acci- e dent hnd occurred. The generally * accepted opinion is thar the accident * was due to a slight shift in the rud- ; der while the monoplane was being * sent at a high rate of speed. 1 Although Chavese did not succeed G in winning the prize of $20,00). having failed to reach Milan, some of the members of the aviation committee are in favor of turning over the ] prize to him and erecting a monument in commemoration of man's first flight across the Alps. (Chavese. although a Peruvian, was born in Paris in 1887. He se- ' cured his license from the Aero club * as air pilot in February 19 of this 1 year. ' Chavese was able to receive visi- ( tors at the hospital for a few min- 1 . ??,? nioVit Althmiirh week, he < UltTft tunc u<r>u>. D was in a most cheerful mood. ' "I am unable to explain the cause of the fall," said he. "I am delight- I ed at being the first to cross the : 1 \lp6." * Rusians Buying Cotton.

THE WAGES OF SIN \ MAX SHOOTS WOMAN FRIEND AN1) HANGS HIMSKLP. Mysterious Double Tragedy Is Enacted in Cleveland, Ohio, Hotel on Thursday. As the end of a close acquaintanceship of unknown duration, B. Yat>s, a wealthy Detroit business man, Thursday shot and seriously wound?d Mrs. Fred Singer in a Reeky Riv>r wine room and two hours later langed himself in the county jail at Cleveland. Ohio. Thursday night the woman's atorney, Frank Billman, was closeted vith Yates' two sons for several lours. The result of the interview vas not given out. and the three reused to discuss the shooting or its ause. The young men, A. VV. and I. F. Yates, hurried to Cleveland rom Detroit as soon as the news >f the shootine reached them, and he body of their father was shortly ifterwards identified as It lay in i private morgue. Yates was 48 years of age and narried. He was chairman of the ?oard of directors of the Business rlen's Publishing Company, or Deriot, waB owner and manager of a lotel and possessed extensive lumber ' toldings near Bradford, Ont. It is o to this latter plaee that his body rtll be removed by special permit of he coroner's jury. Mrs. Singer, formerly a resident of Detroit, but lately residing in a Cleveland hotel, is the wife of a travling salesman, and is related by 1 narriage to men prominent in Cleveand affairs. ' The couple spent Wednesday afernoon and evening in an automoiile. At midnight Thursday night 1 hey went to a road house at Rocky ' liver, a western suburb of the city, 'our hours la.ter a quarrel occurred 1 n a grill room across the street from 1 he place first visited.

WILL WIN SURE Democrats Now Feel Certain of Capturing the House and May CONTROL THE HOUSE The Decisive Democratic Victory in Maine Has. Raised the Hopes of the Party Leaders for aii Overwhelming Victory for the People in the November Election. Satisfied that the next house of representatives will be democratic, party leaders now declare that there is a chance, although remote, that the Democrats also will control the Senate. The flop in Maine is the cause of this new hope. Thirty senators will retire March 3, 1911. Six are democrats. In all six instances Democrats will be returned. These seats are those of Culberson of Texas, Swanson or Virginia, Money of Mississippi, Frazier of Tennessee, Rayner of Maryland, and Taliaferro of Florida. In Indiana Albert J. Beveridge is fighting to be returned with the chances against him. In Connecticut Senator Buckley faces bitter opposition. Gilbert M. Hitchcock in Nebraska expects to swamp the divided Republican organization, whose candidate is Senator Burkett. In Missouri Senator Warner is ai most certain to be succeeded by a Democrat. Senator Nixson does not expect to return and the Nevada legislature probably will elect a Democrat. Maine has elected a Democratic legislature. In Montana the Democrats and insurgents are expected to combine on a fight on Senator Carter, Ne?.' io.'k may elect a Democratic legisla'.n-e and a Democratic successor to Depew. In Ohio a landslide may place i Democrat in Senator Dick's seat. In addition New Jersey, Massachusetts and North Dakota may flop, and a turn-over in West Virginia is a possibility. Should the thirteen states referred to return democrats that party would control the senate. Arizona at her final territorial election has gone Democratic. Sh >uld she repeat the performance next year ifter she has entered the sisferhoi.1 , 3f States she will have two Demjcrats in the senate within two rears. New Mexico also on the ;hreshhold of statehood is about an iven bet. COLLAPSE OF TAFTISM. Itcrord of Taft Is a Pathetic Story of Failure. Judson \V. Welliver gives this remarkable bird's-eye view of politics it the present time: "With insurgency fast building itself into control of the republican party, and with democracy in good urosnect of carrying the next house sf representatives, the administration of William Howard Taft confronts a crisis. "Two years ago Mr. Taft became \ leader of a party which he'd almost a monopoly of public confiJence. Today he is leader merely of i discredited faction. Control of the party is fast passing out of the hands of this faction and into the hands of men whom Mr. Taft'? adn:!nistrrtion was but recently "ending out of the party "The record of the Taft adnrnlsLiai'on is a pathetic story of frlure In '<oth politics an.! statesmanship. Mr. Taft has seemed incapab'e of s,ei'v.'i.'r his politics in the cour.-e of wisdom and unwilling to support 'he nr- j ressive measures which 'he ?on <rv expected him to d>. C'Xi?enital ncapacity for practical polltics miclit explain tho 'ailure to keep his party jo hand bi.* only ?. more unkindly explanation for his apparpnt pur.'K so io repudiate th> m< 11 and policies to which his platform pledged him. "As a result of Mr Taft's failure there is a struggle for control of the icpublican party. At the s^nu t'iro. the torn and divided p\iv.y faces a democratic opposition which needs hardly do more than pemit itielf to become the benefic'.a/y ?f Republican misfortune. It seems scarcely possible that even democracy's facility for doing the wrong thing can prevail against the fates which seem determined to recall it to a responsible participation in the national government." CHILDREN POISONED. They Drank Chocolate Milk That Was Not Good. At Eatonton, Ga., three little girls aged 6, 5 and 3 years, respectively, are recovering from ptomaine poisoning as the result of three glasses of chocolate milk drank at a local soft drink establishment in that city. With their aunt they went in great glee to the soda fount, after being dressed for the evening, and were taken violently ill soon after enjoying their chocolate milks. Only her oic efforts of the family, neighbors and physicians saved iheir lives as they were all desperately ill for sereral hours. No others suffered like results, though it is not recalled by the dispenser of the drinks, whether he sold anyone else chocolate milks during the same afterneon. Shot Man for Dppi*. Near Syracuse, N.

The Crushed and Mangled Bodies of the Unfortunate Victims Strew the Track Amid the Wreckage. Forty-two passengers were killed ^ and seven were seriously injured in a head-on collision between two traction cars on the Fori Wayne-Bluffton division of the Fort Wayne and Wabash Valley line Wednesday. The wreck occurred one and a half miles north of Kingsland, Ind., seven miles north of Bluffton, at a sharp curve. The cars in collision were a northbound local car, crowded to the steps, > which left Bluffton at 11.15 o'clock, g and a south-bound "extra" car, from Fort Wayne. They met while both were running at hieh speed. The collision is said to have been caused by the misunderstanding of a orders regarding the Southbound f "extra" cars taking a switch near ^ Kingsland, so that the Northbound G car could pass it. ^ There were two physicians on the c cars at the time of the wreck. One 0 of them escaped serious Injury and ? . - - k with the other, who had nimseu Deen painully hurt, rendered assistance to h those who survived the collision.

SURE TO WIN 1 ittle Doabt of Governor Shafrolh Succeeding Himself in SPITE OF THE TRUSTS io Xeed of Insurgency in Colorada, as the State is Safely Democratic, and Will Clean up the Rascals, Including Guggenheim, As Soon as They Get a Chance. .Just after crossing the Rocky fountains Zach McGhee writes the tate an interesting letter on Colordo politics. He says I pick up the apers this morning at a little mounlin station, after traveling all night nd most of yesterday, and see that he Democratic convention in Coloraa nominated John F. Shafroth for rovernor. This means that Colorao will again go Democratic. The ^ orporate interests I told about the ther day did their best to defeat ^ hafroth in the convention. They new he had made himself a great ero in the minds of the voters of he State and they therefore turned heir attention to buying up delegaIons in the convention so as to elimaate him. They could get up nothing against im, but that Colorado crowd have ever been accustomed to having to o anything like that. When a man 3 objectionable to them, they have een accustomed to say to their hireIngs to nominate sometoody else, nd that was sufficient. -But times re changing in Colorado. The Reublican candidate will be an object f interest to these corporation fel)ws now, but they need not bother bout that, if any signs in Colorado an be believed. Shafroth will carry tie State by a big majority. 1 The only unfortunate thing about ; is that the legislature which will e elected will not be able to elect a enator in place of the unspeakable ruggenheim. Tuesday night, the last I spent In - olorado, except on the train, I went j j a Republican insurgent rally. The I hief speaker was none other than f ly old friend Senator Bristow of lansas. He and Merle D. Vincent, Coloradan who wants to ge goveror, preached to these people about tie first insurgent gospel they had ver heard in their lives. And Sentor Bristow poured hot shot and lelted lead into the pores of Gugenheim, too, right here in what is apposed to be Guggenheim's home jcality. But I was gratified to see that uggenheim was more of a thing of [jntempt right in that selfsame loality where nominally he hails from lan almost anywhere else. Senator ristow told his hearers that if they re to be loyal to the present leadrs of the Republican party, they bould be consistent, and alongside f the pictures of Lincoln, Sumner, \ nd a few other great statesmen, they tiould hang on their wall the piciires of Nelson W. Aldrich and Siion Guggenheim. The crowd broke out in a big lugh. The fact of the matter la ruggenheim does not live in Colordo and never has, and has no more ight to be senator from tnat oiaie tian Henry M. Flagler to be senator v rom Florida, or John D. RockefeL?r to be senator from Texas. But there are hardly any "insurent" Republicans in Colorado. Kvn my friend Senator Pristow, I ear does not stop to consider why. he State is Democratic, having ith the exception of Guggenheim a olid Democratic delegation in conress. It is of no use to insurge gainst Guggenheim, for he can not e elected again anyway, and he nevr was expected to represent the peole of Colorado in the Senate. The people of Colorado never had nything to do with electing him. ^nd when the people do take a hand, hat is. when they "insurge," they re going to put Democrats into all lie offices. What they have been up gainst is to oust the domination of he greedy and corrupting "business nterests" of the State from the Demcratic party. They have come to realize that it j well-nigh impossible to purify the tepublican party, for the Republian principles themselves have been o give special privileges to those ^ho "need"them, as they say when taking a tariff. However, it is a commendable efort on the part of Merle D. Vinent to lay the matter before the eople of his party. It will help to efeat the Guggenheims and other tepublican leaders, or rather, agnts, but the ones which will take heir places will not be insurgent tenublican; they will be Democrats.
