The Democratic City primary for
tine nomination of candidates to fill
the offices of the city for the next two
yicssrs w.is held yesterday and passed
; off in an unusuclly quiet manner.
"The weather wss very inclement and
to this is attributed he cause of a
.comparatively light vote. However,
all through the day the various can
didates and their adherents worked
ilfligently in getting their constituents
-to the polls and evcty manner of con-
-veyance was used in doing this. At
,7 o'clock last eveainj the pells were
jpJnsl and after the votes had been
.counted it was found that A. H. Ban--sert,
running for the nomination for
i the office of Mayor, had defeated his
opponent W. K. Baxter by a majority
nf three hundred and nine votes. CA
' JLnpton, running for nomination for
4nfbce of Chief of Police and wno is
. now filTinz this office, defeated W- H-
Caiffin.by a majority of fifty six votes,
"The thrid ward was the only ward in
.which there were more than two candi-
iate fcr nomination for Aldermen and
in th' ward James B. Dawson and A
T. Di J were victorious.
- There was not the least evidence o!
jrowdyncs3 ' around any of the polling
(Jaces during the day and while one
xuld easiiy see that every effort was
lieing put forth by. the various candi
idatcs there was no excitement and
rerything moved along as nicely as
ia piece of wtll oiled machinery. From
the very first it was seen that Mr,
JBagcrt had the advantage of his
oDoncnt Mr .Baxter and while the
(aitnr nut tin a hard fiffSf it nroved of
50O avail. During the early part of the
fayand in fact until late in the afjer-
noon, it was the opinion of manyythat

FAILED TO LAND
THIEVES WERE TOO SHREWD TO
RETURN FOR LOOT WHICH
THEY HAD LEFT. .
Deputy Sheriff J. W. Huff and W.
R. Cox, special agent for the John L.
Roper Lumber Company, returned
yesterday morning from Mills' stat on
few miles above New Bern, where
they had been in the hope of locating
and capturing a gang of thieves who
broke open and robbed a freight car
in that, section Sunday night.
As told in yesterday's Journal the
theives hid the articles which they
had stolen from the car in a near by
lump of bushes and it was thought
that they would probably return there
later on to secure it but they were
evidently "tipped off" that the officers
were in waiting for them and did not
attempt to regain possession of the
stolen articles.

THE GAR
ROBBERS
Secretary of State Embarrassed
: When Interrogated As To
Mexican Affairs.
AMBASSADOR WILSON ACTIVE
No Steps Taken To Protect Mexican
Who Referred Charges Made
Against Wilson.
Washington, April 8. Secretary of
State Bryan acknowledged for the first
time last night that the charges' made
by Louis Manuel Rojas against Henry
Lane Wilson, ambassador to Mexico
were on file at the State Department.
Mr. Bryan appeared to be very much
embarra sed when questioned about
khe charges. He admitted, however.
that a great deal of information had
been received by the depattment con- ,
cerning ithe activities of the American
representative during the close of the '
recent .revolution which ended with the
assassination of President Francism
Madero adn other high officials When
pressed for an answer Mr. Bryan ad
mitted that no steps had been taken
by this' government to protect Senor
Kojas from the political enemies whom
he charges with the responsibility for
th,e death of Madero.
Concerning the charee that the
appeal ' of 'the heart-borken mother of
President ' Madero to this government
to save her son was suppressed, no
definite information could be obtained.
It was learned that the letter written
by Francisco Madero's wife and mailed
from Havana, Cuba, March 2, is now
on file. It was explained thatthis com--"
munication did not reach the Stat
Department until af:er President Tajt
had left the White House.
It is considered likely that Henry
Lane Wilson's successor will be ap
pointed within the next few days. The
recent charges aeainit the United
Sta es ambassador are believed to have
shown the administration the neces-
sity of a prompt change. The man
most prominently spoken of for the
place is Benton McMillan, former Gov- .
ernor of Tennessee. 1
