PEQ O' THE RINQ
Bill Beard bills himself as "The
I Party from the South," but he had
better be the boy who stays in Pen-sacola.
That at any rate is the translation
into newspaper English of bis recep
tion yesterday at The Isls.
Billy had the audience with him
from the start. He is a song and
monologue artist. Viewed from grand
opera standards, his vocal ability will
never make Caruso jealous, but his
infectious cheerfulness and the way
he takes the audience to his heart are
what . make him such a winning at
traction. .
Billy sang a preparedness song yes
terday which had the house wild with
patriotism. .
Billy will hold forth at the Isis foi
the next three weeks, his repertoire
including a daily change of program.

AND OTHERS WHO LOST OUT
BY FEW VOTES.
ed yesterday. It was admitted, how
ever, that there was room for doubt
as to the correctness of tallies be
cause of the second choice votes. Mr.
Sanders himself, would have nothing
to say on the question except to inti
mate, that if he won the nomination,
he wanted it, but that if Mr. Van Pelt
received it, there was no more to be
said.
It was reported last night that a
formal protest had been made by Mr.
Van Pelt on precinct 15, but Mr. Van
Pelt or his friends would have noth
ing to say in corroboration or denial
of that rumor.
All candidates whose nominations
were practically assured on the face
of the returns already in, were hap
py yesterday, out some relief was
confessed by the defeated candidates,
for, as one said, "the fact that the
strain is over is a satisfaction." Those
who won out were congratulated by
friends yesterday, but many of the
defeated candidates are publishing
cards this morning, returning sincere
thanks for the vote accorded them.
Palafox street presented a very dif
ferent scene last night than that
which prevailed during the past few
weeks. Crowds of people were very
conspicuous by their absence.
The committee will meet this morn
ing at 9:30 in the office of County
Judge Henry Bellinger, and will make
careful canvass of all returns. Up to
last night, several precincts were not
officially heard from, but assurances
were given that every precinct would
be in hand this morning, hence the
early hour for the meeting.
Shot through the stomach and in
the back, Jim Mitchell, colored, was
last night in so serious a condition!
that he may die from the effects of
the wounds. He was shot by Jim
Sweet, also colored, who has been ar
rested. Officer Anderson, who effect
ed the arrest, found a pistol on Sweet.
Sweet has acknowledged that he shot
Mitchell. "I told that nieeer to stay
away from my home, and he would
not," Sweet told the police.
The shooting took place shortly
after 10 o'clock on East Wright street
near the intersection of Ninth avenue.
The police were just closing up the in
vestigation of the trouble the police
men on South Baylen street had with
sailors, when the second shooting
scrape took place.
Officers found Mitchell lying in the-
street; he was later conveyed to his
home, where the city physician at
tended him. Of the two wounds, one
is of a grave nature.
A recount of precincts 11, 16, 23,
25 and 15 will likely be insisted upon
this morning when the official can
vassing board gets together in the
office of County Judge Henry Bellin
ger. The recount is probable, and
Chief of Police Sanders, who lost the
nomination for sheriff by less than
sixty votes, may bring up the ques
tion. Talking of the possibility of taking
such steps, Mr. Sanders said yester
day, that he would be guided entirely
by the advice of his attorney. Should
the legal advisor conclude this morn
ing that a recount of the precincts
should be asked, the demand will be
made.
Just on what grounds the recount
will probably be asked, were not stat

ence threw the situation into uncer
tainty. Hughes' supporters and many
other republicans feel it cannot pre
vent the Hughes nomination, but the
development had the effect of holding
off the crystahzation on Hughes in
the republican convention. The pro
gressives have not yet adopted a plat
form. Many thought they would spend
tomorrow on that.

The demonstration for the instant
nomination of Roosevelt in the pro
gressive convention, which finally
was controlled by leaders who forced
an oppointment of a conference com
mittee, was featured by speeches by
Victor Murdock and Congressman Mc
Donald, of Michigan. Murdock de
clared the only thing to do was to
nominate Roosevelt before the con
vention adjourned today. McDonald
in finishing his address urging Roose
velt's selection, said "the thing to tell
the republicans is to go to hell, and do
as they damn please." Chairman
Robins scored McDonald for his profanity.
