HE FEARS TEXAS JUSTICE Fort Worth, Tex, June 3. Sheriff Matthews, 'of this county, has requested the St. Louis authorities to notify him as soon as H. Clax Pierce has heen placed in custody. Mr. Matthews urged upon the St. Louis officials that no de lay be allowed in taking Pierce into custody. - Matthews Is preparing to leave for St. Louis when notified of Pierce's arrest. St. Louis, Mo., June 3 H. Clay Pierce it now in New York, and has been there for some time, at liberty on a bond of 140,000 signed by H. S. Priest, his chief counsel Attorney H. S. Priest, leading coun sel for Mr. Pierce, said today that Pierce would probably fight the efforts of the Texas authorities to take him to that state for trial at this time. Attorney Priest said that, notwith standing the decision of the United States Supreme Court denying Mr. Pierce's application for a writ of habeas corpus for release from custody of the Texas sheriff, he can apply to the state courts of Missouri or any other state in which he happens to be when the Texas Bheriff claims him. "The personal inclination of Mr. Pierce and myself would be for Mr. Pierce to go to Texas now," said Attorney Priest. "I am confident there is nothing in the charge against Mr. Pierce, and that ho would be speedily acquitted there. But friends of Mr. Pierce have an opinion that there is a disposition in Texas to convict him there, whether he is inno cent or guilty." New York, June 3. Inquiry at the office of H. Clay Pierce in this city elicited a statement that Mr. Pierce was at his office today, but no statement of his .intentions in view of the decision of the Supreme Court could be obtained. At the office of Rufus Choate, one of Mr. Tierce's counsel, it was said that no statement as to Mr. Pierce's plans would be made until the full decision of the Supreme Court has been received.

C P rescript Centenary of Birth of Jeff . Davis Observed by South (Continued from of the birth of Jefferson Davis. The cap itol wherein February, 1861, he was elected to the head of the prevailing government, was decorated with the col ors of the lost cause, and the stores and business houses in many cases reflected the feelings of the people. The main feature of the day were the presentation of pictures of Davis to the Carnegie library and the ten city schools by the patriotic organizations of the city. Day at Davis' Birthplace. Louisville, Ky., June 3. Coincident with the impressive ceremonies marking Confederate decoration day the one hundredth anniverstary of the birth of Jefferson Davis was appropriately ob served today. Col. Bennett H. Young, commanding the Kentucky division of the. United Confederate Veterans, was master of ceremonies, and spoke briefly. Special trains took a large number of persons to Fairview, Tcdd county, where a celebration was held at Mr. Davis' birthplace. Day at Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala., June 3. The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of j Jefferson Davis was celebrated in Bir-1 mingham today by a joint meeting of I Camp Hardee, Pelham Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the I wo camps Sons of Confederate Yet-! erans.

Confederate Hammond Candidate for The Vice-Presidency (Continued Prom Inquiry of Mr. Hammond developed that at the suggestion .of friends throughout the country he has had the question of entering the race for the vice-presidency under consideration for a week or more. "Mr. Hammond would make an ex cellent candidate,'.' 'said Mr. Montgomery. "He was born in California, - lived for five years in Connecticut, is a resident of 'Massachusetts, of seven years stand ing, and is widely and favorably known throughout the west, where he has a strong personal following, (graphi cally he would appear to he the logical candidate for the vice-preidency." The Hammond boom has made politi cians in Washington sit up and take no tice. While no authoritative announce ment to this effect has been made, the belief is entertained that Mr. Taft looks with a kindly eye upon Mr. Hammond as a running mate. They are friends of many years standing. I'p to date Vice-President Fairbanks has appeared to be the most promising aspirant for second honors at Chicago. While his friends assert that he is not a candidate for renomination, but will remain in the fight for the presidential nomination, it is understood here that if a renomination is offered Indiana's favorite son would not refuse. John Hays Hammond, teputed to be drawing the largest salary paid to any man in America, was born in San Fran cisco March 3, 1855. He entered Yale with the class of 1876 and was gradua ted from Sheffield scientific school. He saw service with the I'nited States geological survey and became a con sulting engineer, with offices in San Francisco. His fame as a mining en gineer spread rapidly, and in 1893 the Harnuto diamond syndidate, of London, sent him to South Africa to make a mineralogical survey of Rhodesia. Through his close friendship with Ce cil Rhodes and some of the less con spicuous promoters of the Cape, Mr. Hammond was led to become a some what reluctant participator in the Jam eson raid of 1895. He was captured and got off finally with a $125,000 fine. In 1903 Mr. Hammond signed an ex clusive contract with the (iuggenheims for $250,000 a year. A few weeks ago the announcement was made that the Guggenheims had doubled Mr. Ham mond's salary. He has nn interest in many properties throughout the west, Mexico and. South Africa. DEMOCRATIC BREACH IN BUNCOMBE COUNTY WIDENS Asheville, N. C, June 3. The breach in the Democratic party in Buncombe county was widened yesterday when the board of county commissioners sent a letter to County Attorney Charles A. Webb "requesting" his resignation as the board's legal adviser. The request was complied with, and Gallatin Rob erts was elected Mr. Webb's successor. The incident has started the Democrats talking again, and Mr. Webb's friends are sore over what is termed his "dis missal."

Returns from Tuesdays' primaries that are com plete in nearly all the counties of the state, tonight indicate that Iowa Re publicans nominated William B.

This will close the two saloons at Milton, N. C. A strenuous fight was made before the commission by the Anti-Saloon League, who opposed the licensing of saloons and by F. R. Gordon and Robt. Ferguson who own the saloons at Milton. The last named gen tlemen were represented by attorneys, who appeared in their behalf.

DEMOCRATS OF IDAHO SPLIT OYER M0RM0NISM Twin Falls, Idaho, June 3. The Demo cratic party of Idaho today split on tins Mormon qiiestion and amid wild scenes held two conventions this afternoon in the same hall.

The anti-Mormon faction led by Former Senator Tubeis seemed to have a majority of tho delegates.

On the eve of the Democratic state primary both Gov ernor smith and his opponent Joseph M. Brown claim victory. As to the other contests, there is com paratively little general interest. Tho fact that in six of the eleven Georgia congressional districts the pres ent members of the national House of Kepresentatives are fighting for re-election apparently has been lost sight of in the contest for the governorship. A canvass of the congressional district fight shows the following situation: First Congressman C, G. . Kd wards, opposed by E. K. Overstreet and W. C. Shoppard. Second Congressman J. M. Griggs,, opposed by S. Anderson Rodenberry. Third Congressman E. B. Lewis, op posed by Dudley M. Hughes. Fourth Congressman Y. C. Anderson, no opposition. Fifth Congressman L.

SETlliG OF President and Attorney-General Sustained by District Court of Appeals. Wn?hington, D. C, June 3. The question which has caused so much con troversy between government ofliviali and distillers as to whether or not whisky and neutral spirits are like sub stances, has been judicially determined by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Which holds that they are not like substances, thereby sustaining the view taken by President Roosevelt and Attorney-General Bonaparte when tho matter was passed upon bv them after I the distillers had appealed to them irom tne decisions or the department of agriculture, , It was also decided that bourbon whisky can only be made in the state of Kentucky, and must be made from mash, the chief ingredient of which is corn., - The decision was in what is known as the Levy-Uri case, and covers substan tially every point of the two whisky test cases instituted by the department of justice in Washington and Baltimore, the former being against the James Clark Distilling Company for the al leged mislabeling as whisky a mixture of neutral spirits and whisky, and the latter against a Baltimore house for labeling neutral spirits made from mo lasses in Louisiana as "bourbon whisky." lion elected twelve delegates to the na tional convention, each entitled to hall a vote. , LOUISIANA FOR BRYAN, BUT UNINSTRUCTED Baton Rouge, La., June 3.

Previously a resolution instructing tho delegation to vote for William J. Bryan "as long as his namo remains before the convention" had been overwhelmingly voted down. Louisiana will have eighteen delegates at Denver. Arkansas Democrats Adjourn. Little Rock. Ark., June 3. After adopting a platform which embodies in a largo measure the ideas advanced by George W. Donaghey, the Democratio nominee for governor, on state issues, together with a compromise plank on the subject of state-wide prohibition, asking the next state legislature to pass such laws os are necessary to cause tho liquor question to be submitted to a vote of the people in 1909, the Democratic state convention adjourned tonight. It was the most harmonious session the Democrats of Arkansas have held in years. 1 Surry Democratic Convention. Winston-Salem, N. C, June 3. Par ties coming in from Mt.

And, in fact, the more I study the lives and words and deeds of Davis and Lee and Jack son and the host of others who stood with theni, the moro am I convinced of tho purity of tho motives and the honesty of the purposes that led them to tako a sad farewell of the tmon into which they had voluntarily gone, and to cast their lot with tho Confeder ate states. As I see it now, and, as our unprejudiced historians ; north, as well as south, arc coming to see it, and to teach-it, the question of negro slav ery was not the fundamental question involved in the act of secession. It was only coincident and subordinate to a far greater and more vital oms the question of 'states' rights."
