new executive committee.
Major Daniel Sinkler, from tho i
sub-committee appointed to look Into
the revision of tho by-laws and rules ,
of tho Democratic party, reported
that on account of the nearness of the
State Convention the committee unanimously
decided to leave tnis mat- ,
ter to them. The report was agreed j
to and the committee discharged. ,

Gen. Wilie Jones, the State chairman,
presiding at the meoting, declar- j

ho would meet with the Democratic
committee in this capacity, as he declared
his intention of not seeking reelection.
He spoke of his thirty '
years of connection with the commit- 1
tee, fourteen of them as State chair- 1
man, and told of his interest in the 1
work. He expressed a willingness to (
remain as Richland's member of the '
committee if the County Convention 1
so willed. *
A suggestion was made that the ?
State Convention elect eight dele- *
gates at large to the Baltimore Convention
instead of four, and give each a
half vote, but this was not consider'
ed. At 9:30 the committee adjourned.
The formal resolution calling

requesting that his name bo withdrawn
from tho primary ballot as

I
THEY HAD A HOT TIME
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION OF
MICHIGAN IN A ROW.
?
i
The State Militia Was Necessary to
Keep the Taft Boomers and Roosevelt
Heelers Apart.
The Michigan Republicans had a
regular monkey and parrot time at
their State Convention, which met at
Bay City on Thursday.
A company of State militia took
charge of the Republican convention
hall before the time scheduled for
* > nnonin? ft P f lin nnn uon f i ft n
^ftoth Roosevelt and Taft delegations
from Detroit were kept outside
the building. Up until 11 o'clock
there was no disorder, although the
waiting delegates expressed impatience.
This action formed a sequel
to the bitter wrangle between the
While the militia held the front
Taft and Roosevelt delegates,
entrance to the armory against a
crowd of 1,800 delegates and contested
delegates, members of the Republican
State central committee, headed
by Acting Chairman Robert H.
Shields, of Houghton were admitted
to the building through a small side
entrance. Tho Taft forces thus secured
the first strategic advantage in
the fight with Roosevelt men for control
of tho convention.
As soon as the Shields members of
tho State central committee had been
admitted to tho armory, Chairman
Knox and former United States Senator
Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana,
also were admitted through the side
entrance. Knox at once entered emphatic
protests against the action
of his committee members, but despite
his protests he was voted down.
Tho committee then proceeded to
choose Robert H. Shields as temporary
chairman and went ahead with
seating arrangements for the delegates
waiting impatiently outside In
tho street. Shields said he expected i
to call tho convention to order by 1
o'clock. i
While the Taft forces held the (
armory in this manner, Roosevelt 1
leaders conferred at a down town ho- 1
tel several square distant, and pre- 1
pareu to go to tno convention ana *
?eat their temporary chairman, former
Secretary of the Navy Truman 1
Newberry, of Detroit.
Depite great disorder both the
raft and Roosevelt forces attempted
it the same time to organize the contention.
Two large policemen stoocl
^uard over 'Mr. Beveridge, who had
3een swept back from his seat durng
the Gordon-Cremor fight.
W. D. Gordon, of Midland, a Roosevelt
committeeman, sprang to the
stage after the delegates had been
idmitted, and attempted to address
he convention. He was hurled from
ho stage by J. F. Creamer, of Marinette,
a Taft man. Police and miitia
at this juncture rorced back a
lundred men who sought to engage
n the fight precipitated by Gordon
md Creamer. All attempts to quiet
he excited delegates seemed useless.

HE WILL ENTER RACE
GAPERS SAYS HE WILL RUN FOR
CONGRESS IN THE
COTTON MILL DISTRICT
?
Says There Are Twelve Thousand
Voters Working in the Mills Who
Arc Republicans and Who Will
Vote for a Republican to Represent
Them in Congress.
The Spartanburg Herald says Capt.
John G. Capers, of Greenville, South
Carolina member of the Republican
National Committee, announced Wednesday
that ho would be a candidate
lor Congress against Joseph T. Johnson,
the present representative.
In an interview at the Gresham
hotel, where he was conferring wl'.u
Republicans from several counties of
the Piedmont, Captain Capers declared
that he would give Mr. Johnson a
hot race.
"There are 12,000 voters in the
Pourth congressional district," saiu
Captain Capers, "who have coine here
.' on, North Carolina and Tennessee
and are working in the mills. These
mon will \ote for a Republican candidate
if he is a clean, decent whtte
man. There has been no opportunity
here to vote for a Republican of
good leputo for sixteen years, rh*ao
men are naturally Republicans and
would vote the Republican ticket if
there were a Republican organization
aud Republican candidate of which
they were not ashamed. A.s there
has been no respectablj Republican
party, they have had to turn to the
democratic primary.
"Furthermore, the mill presidents
will remove their estoppel if the Republican
party will put forward respectable
candidates. Heretofore they
have discouraged in an errecctre way
any movement on the part of their
employees to support the Republican
party, but that was because the par:y
was controlled by negroes and such
men as Joe Tolbert. The mill presilents
like Lewis W. Parker, of Greon'/ille,
are friendly to me and would
have no objection to their employes
yotlng for me."
Captain Capers said that he esteemed
Congressman Johnson, but
:hat the latter was not in a position
:o do much for the district. "If the
voters of this congressional district
will send me to congress," said Capain
Capers, "I will bo of great value
(, them. I will secure public buildngs,
for one thing."
The Republican nomination is
rade by convention and not by the
democratic method of a primary.
There is no doubt, however, of Capain
Capers' ability to secure the
lomination.
However, the "black and tan" Reniblicans
may also put out a candidate.
They nominated Tom Briar, a
Ireenville negro, for congress two
ears ago.
Captain Capers said he was more
nterested in the establishment of a
lean, respectable Repuulican party
n South Carolina than in the quesion
of whether Taft or Roosevelt i
rould be nominated. ;
"I will frankly admit," said he, 1
that the party in South Carolina as <
ip to this time constituted, has been 1
disreputable organization. I have i
* - ? ? ? lid ?? w* 1 1 n ?\ /I 1
iCOU 111 disgrace Willi my imiiiiy uuu i
ntimate friends for being a Repub- I
ican. And as the principles for 1
/liich tlio Republican party standrs <
re dear to me as my personal integity,
it is necessary for me to remove <
lie stigma which attaches to the <
aine of Republican in South Caro- 1
ina by establishing a respectable par- l
y." i
Capt. Capers said that the title I
lily whites" was a misnomer, as !
icgroes would not be entirely exluded
from the Capers-Blalock pary.
In some of the coast counties
here are no white Republicans at all, {
e said, and it would be ncessary to
ave a few negro delegates, but colred
men of unquestioned respectbility
would be chosen.
Mo said that probably six of the I
lily white" delegates to the Repub- 5
can Nati'onal Convention would be (
egroes. (

Two Killed and Several Hurt.
Alfred Hall, a white carpenter, and (

TELLS TERRIBLE TALE
SKA CAPTAIN SAYS THOUSANDS
HAVE BEEN KILLED.
He Reports Great Eruption of Long
Quiet Peak of a Mountain in Terrifying
Terms.
Thousands of persons nave heen
killed and whole Indian villages
swept away by the eruption of Chiriqui
peak, near Bocas Del Toro, in
Honduras, according to the story of
Capt. Olsvlk of the United States
Fruit steamer Fort Morgan, which arrived
at Mobile Wednesday.
With regard to the eruption of Chiriqui
Peak Capt. Olsvik said:
"The Fore Morgan was berthed at
the Almirante wharf, about fourteen
miles from.Bocas Del Toro, on the
morning of April 5, loading bananas.
when about four o'clock the eastern
sky blazed forth and a great
rumbling was heard. Looking In that
direction, I saw great volumes of fire
K ? ry L 1 f o m A /I
dl.UUllU^ 111 ?,11, AC OCC111CV4.
"The natives, who had been loading
the ship all night, were terror
stricken. Some of the men fell 011
their knees and prayed. All work
was suspended for several hourg as
the people watched the volcano.
"I learned before leaving that the
third of a row of mountain peaks,
situated about a mile from us, had
burst into flame or had turned into a
volcano. The peaks were southeast
of the Fort Morgan and are called the
Ohiriqui. The peak that became active
was the highest of the number,
its height being estimated at 2,340
feet above sea level.
The base of the mountain and its
slopes are inhabited by a number or
Indian villages. It is supposed that
these have been totally destroyed by
the lava.
"When day came the flames disappeared
and a great cloud of smoke
hovered over the country for miles
around. The mountain peak is above
the sky line and it was thought that
the flames were obscured by a cloud."
This is the first time this mountain
was ever known to be active.
The flames shot very high and the
smoke and ashes were blown far out
to sea. The property loss Is reported
to be heavy.
Capt. Olsvik, of the Fort Morgan,
ir, describing the scene, says that it
vas the most terrifying imaginable.
The sea was torn up and islands
thrown up where once there had been
deep water.
GIVES HEARST CREDIT.
Clark Thanks Him for His "Loyal and
Manful Aid.
It is generally conceded In Washington
and elsewhere mat Clark is ?
indebted for his success in Illinois to [
\V. R. Hearst. In fact Clark himself ^
concedes when he telegraphs the ?
\merican, Hearst's New York paper:
"I am profoundly graterul for the
powerful influence of the Hearst
newspapers which have stood by me
loyally, manfully and unselfishly
from the beginning, from Massachusetts
to California."
The Wilson supporters says "the
result in Illinois is attributed to the
Influence of William Randolph Hearst
and his newspapers and political allies.
It was aided, too, by the abandonment
of the field by Gov. Harmon,
who, in accordance with the territorial
agreement of anti-Wilson allies,
left Illinois, where his friends had m
been campaigning for months, and
;urned the wliolo Harmon strength
3ver to Clark.
"In the progressive State of Wisconsin,
where there is no Hearst ma liine,
the Clark-Harmon * combine
was defeated by more than two votes 01
lo one. There is no doubt that Hearst
is the greatest asset of the Clark
boom, and there is also no doubt that
Speaker Clark recognize? this fact."

ARKANSAS IS FOB WILSON.
i I( is Claimed Thai the Slate Will bo
for Him.
The claim that Clark wiC secure
the Arkansas delegation fin Is oxpressed
and enihpatic denial throughout
the state in conservative political
circles, ant' even among the friends
of the speaker, who are acquainted
with tee real facts of the situation.
The report that Speaker Clail: had
secured one hundred and sixty-eight
instructed delegates sounds well on
its face and has been accepted by
Clark people as the basis for exaggorated
claims of the whole state.
The fact that there exlscs still 412
nninstructed delegates is parsed lu
silence by tho Clark boosters.
The claim of the Clark men Is
absurd," said Hon. John W. Crockett
Wednesday morning. "With his tremendous
organization and campaign
fund, he secured only ICS delegates.
There are a SO in tho state,
leaving 412 nninstructed.
"The one best bet is that Governor
Wilson will get the Arkansas delegation
and there is not tho slightest
doubt in my mind auout it. Wilson
supporters do not feel discoursed
in the least. Clark has done
to and tho noise and dust is settling
and then tho Wilson strength
. ill blossom like a rose to tho comt
lete satisfaction of his friends."
