A WALKOUT

FRIENDS OF W. D. BETTIS
Claimed His Election in the Pri-

- (Houston 'Post Special.)
Beaumont Texaa July ai. As forecast
fa the din patch from this city In The
feet of this moraine the Myrick forces In
the district representative convention
which convened at the city hall here to-
day had things their own way and ba-
ton the convention had concluded Its
roceedlngs there was a walk-out on the
part of the Orange county delegation and
oentest for the nomination of this the
(Twenty-second ' representative district la
asevitabla.
The" convention was called "to order
Shortly after 10 o'clock by W. W. Greer
who announced the purpose of the con
vention and declared the election or a
temporary chairman in order.
Mr. W. O. Huggina of Orange oounty
and R. A. Qreer of Jefferson county
ware placed in nomination. The vote ae
l Mr. Huggins' nomination was first
taken. Seated within the railing of the
euncU chamber where the convention
was held were the delegates from Jotter-
on and Orange counties. Without the
railing were about seventy-five men of '
anknown political affiliations and whs
were not accredited delegates to the con-
vention. The vote was by ayes and noes
ad Chairman Greer declared Mr. Hug-
glna defeated.
A member of the Orange oounty delega-
tion arose at this Juncture and protested
against persons not accredited as dele-
gates participating In the formation of a
temporary organisation. The protest was
followed by an appeal from the decision
of the chair to the convention and the
tueation of appeal was opened for dls-
Ousslon. Among those who spoke In pro-
test to the action of the ohalr were Colo-
Bel O. W. Hardy of this city who held a
proxy as an Orange county delegate;
Judge W. J. Wlngate and Judge J. A.
Holland of Orange county and C. W.
Brooks of Beaumont.
Colonel Hardy made an eloquent appeal
against permitting pereone not regularly
delegated to the convention to have any
Voice In the proceedings of the conven-
tion to which accredited delegates had
been elected by both - Jefferson and
Orange counties. Ha said that perhaps
the Jefferson county convention had not
sleeted enough delegates and If Orange
oounty captured the temporary organisa-
tion " was because they had sent the
most delegates and were entitled to it.
Judge Wlngate of Orange followed. He
recalled many precedents of conventions
and said that he never recalled a dem-
ocratic convention within his life-time or
experience which permitted persons other
than the legally chosen delegates to par-
ticipate. Judge Holland of Orange spoke
along the same Unea He had never heard
of such a thin as spectators- participat-
ing In a democratic convention before.
Be pleaded for harmony and unity and
made a -reposition that the selection of
a candidate be left to the chairman of
the State executive committee or the at-
torney general and promised that Orange
county would abide the result.
C. W. Brooks said in substance that he
thought every democrat had a right to
partlcinate in the convention and that
"they the oTlcg men were In control
f the oounty convention and could have
named every democrat In Jefferson coun-
ty as a delegate If they had wanted to."
Mr. Brooks put the motion on the eleo-
tlon of Mr. R. A. Qreer and he was do-
land elected temporary chairman and
assumed the chair. Chairman R. A.
Greer said that the first thing was the
election of a temporary secretary.
At this point Judge Holland arose and
aid that the Orange county delegation
would withdraw from the convention and
they then got up and left the room.
Maura O. w. Hardy and I.' R. Bordages
who held Orange proxies remained In
their seats as representatives of Mr.
Bowen.
After the Orange men were out It was
smooth sailing. J. F. Weed was elected
secretary without opposition. A commit-
tee consisting of Messrs. P. W. Qreer
' O. W. Hardy and C. W. Brooks was
named by the chair on credentials basla
of representation and permanent organ-
isation. The committee retired and soon
reported recommending that the tem-
porary organisation be made permanent
that Orange county be entitled to three
votes and Jefferson county seven votes
rn the convention. The credentials of the
delegates from both counties were ap-
proved and the proxies of G. W. Hardy
and I. R. Bordages were approved by
the -committee. On motion the report of
the committee was adopted.
The chair then declared that the nomi-
nation of a candidate was in order but
at this point he was approached by Mr.
W. A. Myrick who asked for a confer-
sncs and a recess of five minutes was
taken. A conference then ensued on the
outside between Messrs. Myrick. Bettls
Chairman R. A. Oreer and at one time
the Jefferson county delegation. A num-
ber of propositions were made and re-
jected In this sonterence. but so agree

ment was reached. Mr. Myrick proposed
that he and Mr. Bottls submit their nomi-
nation to another primary election. Col-
onel Bettls refuse! Colonel Bettls pro-
posed that all the facts In the case bear-
ing upon the -Ight of spectators to par-
ticipate In the convention be submitted
to the chairman of III bUte executive
committee or the attorney general and
let either or both of them decide the mat-
ter the candidates to epide. the- result.
Colonel Bettls also proposed that the
names of Myrick and himself be placed
on the regular ticket to be voted In the
general election In November. The prop-
oalttons were rejected ancT the cpnfer-
snot broke oft without accomplishing
anything.
Returning to the convention C. W.
Brooks placed the named of Walter A.
Myrick. O. W. Hardy placed the name
of B. C. Bowen tai nomination.
Mr. 8. W. Bholara of Orange oounty
made a few red hot remarks. In which be
criticised the proceedings of the conven-
tion and said that he wanted opportunity
to register his protest against the ap-
Jareni dictatorship of R. A. Greer m
efrerson county politics.
The chair declsred nominations closed
and the seven votes of Jefferson county
were declared for Walter A. Myrick.
Colonel Hardy protested against the en-
tire' vote of Jefferson county being cast
for Myrick and- Mr. Bholara entered a
similar protest in the name of Colonel
"Bettls. The chair declared Myrick nomi-
nated. -
p. W Greer was elected permanent
chairman and he together with O. R.
Bholara of Orange and J. P. Weed from
Jefferson county were elected as the ex-
ecutive committee.

land. B. tH. Lyons W. A. Gunning. H.

man. Jr.. J. P. Roach and M. V. An-
derson. Jefferson county delegates were: R A.
Greer P. W. Greer C. W. Brooks Jake
Giles Fmtnett Landry Perry Brouasard
and Mally Eaatham.
The Orange oounty delegation wish It
understood that they did not bolt the
convention. They held no separate con-
vention. They intimate that they may
support the nominee and that it la prob-
able that the legality of the convention's
doings will be tested by an appeal to the
State executive committee and perhaps In
the courts.
Colonel W. D. Bettls when seen by The
Post representative after the convention)
raid mt he had nothing definite to say
and did not know exactly what he or the
Oranse county delegation would do In
the premises. He said that he did not
believe that Mr. Myrick would accept a
nomination tendered him In such a man-
ner i
It Is not believed hers that the matter
has ended with today's proceedings and
that there Is to be further action taken
without great delay.

ROCHESTER N. T. July It (Special
Correspondence.) A remarkable ease that
threatens to upset ths theory and prac-
tice of medicine is reported from Wil-
mington Ohio Ths human heart has
been mads to beat again in ths body of a
woman given up to death by doctors.
Ths credit tor this startling restoration
Is due to that distinguished savant of
this city Thomas F. Adkln Professor ot
Vltaopathy and president of ths Insti-
tute ot Physicians snd Surgeons
Previous experiments on animals like
those made by Loeb of Chicago and
Wearer of Philadelphia succeeded in
making the heart beat for only a short
time after death and eves this partial
success probably waa dus merely to re-
flex muscular action induced by saline
Injections
but In this case Professor Adkln ac-
compli shed a far more wonderful result.
By an entirely different method and in an
entirely different way hs not only mads ;
the heart bet again but mads it keep
on beating and today the woman a Mrs.
If. S. Bracken Is alive and well Instead
of being in her grave. .
The history of medicine from the time
of Calen to ths present day falls to give
an explanation of this phenomenal re-
storation that seems to rival the miracles
of ancient writ.
The faota In the case are ss nnusnsl
and revolutionary thai an Interview waa
sought with Professor Adkln to learn.
It possible the details of this wonderful
case. At first h" seemed reluctant to
talk for publication but finally waa In-
duced to tell of what is undoubtedly one
of the most marvelous discoveries in ths
anna la of science a discovery that
Sves this man a Strang and far-reach-g
rantrol over human lite over dis-
easa and death.
"Tea I restored Mrs. Bracken to life
and health made her heart beat again"
said ths professor. "But It is a mistake
to think this Is the first or only case of
the kind where 1 have been equally one
ceeaful when drugs and doctors hare
failed. I have cured hundreds of men and
women In the aame way of diseases pro-
nounced Incurable rescued them when
they were on the edge of the grave and
restored them to health and strength
without useless drugs or the surgeon's
knife."
"Would yon mind rlvtng ths names ef

"Not st sll. There ts nothing t want
Concealed or kept secret. I court the
widest publicity. 1 want ths whols world
to know what I am doing ao that others
may be saved from an early death or
lifelong misery. You are more than wel-
come to Investigate any or all of the

Iters from my former patients. Inter-
view or write to the men and womrn
themselves or you can go oVer my records
and files and see for yourself that I suc-
ceed where physicians and medicines have
failed. Ons case that 1 remember par-
ticularly is that of Mrs. L. A. Phillips
of Trawicft Texaa. She had been bed-
ridden for five yeare. In twelve different
hospitals and under the treatment of
various doctors besides All failed to
cure her of the complication of diseases
from which she was suffering and told
her they could do no more that her
oase was hopeless.
"When I took the rase It seemed as if
she was beyond the sld of any human
power. But by using the knowledge
given me by my dlscqjrery. I cured her
when she wss so near death that in a

letter she wrote to me she says I raised
her from the dead.
"This is. not literally true of 'course.
I have no supernatural power whatever
some people may say or believe. How-
ever near to death's door she may have
been she had not crossed the threshold.
And. no matter what the doctors may
have said Mrs. Brackney was not dead
either though both of these women prob-
ably would be In their graves were it
not for my discovery."
"What Is this dlscoveryr
'That there Is a law of nature con-
trolling life and death disease and health;
a law that Is absolutely certain."
"And no one discovered It before yout"
"Apparently not since disease still ex-
ists snd men and women go on suffer-
ing snd dosing themselves with di .agree-
able snd useless drugs that often do more
harm than good; go on letting themselves
be cut snd carved when there Is no
necessity."
"What diseases do you cure by this new
method of treatment?"
"It applies to sll. Wlfh the power that
ts given me by my knowledge of this
law. there Is no disease that I may not
cure. I have made the blind see and the
lame walk. I have overcome paralysis.
1 have stopped the living death of can-
cer. 1 have straightened crooked bones
and caused deformities to disappear. I
have broken the chains of morphinism
drunkenness and other bad habits. I have
cured consumption rheumatism heart
disease stomsch. bowel and kidney
troubles but the list is too long to re-
peat. Enough to say that I am ready to
undertake the cure of any disease what-
ever its name or nature however severe
ehronle or long standing whether doctors
pronounce the case Incurable or not. In
fact. 1 Invite nhysldans to send me their
worst and most hopeless esses to be
curec.
"But how shout those who live st a
distance who can not afford ths time or
money to come to vou?"
"They do not need to corns to me snd
I do not need to go to them. 1 do not
cars how far away my patients are I
can cure them Just as easily snd Just as
surely ss If I stood b" their bedsides."
"Then your power la like faith cure?"
"Not at all. Not like any of those cults
It Is scientific to the highest degree. I
do not deny the existence of disease.
It is only too terribly true as no one
knows better then I."
"Then how do you cure them?"
"All that any one who la sick and
wants to' be cured has to do Is to write
to me. addressing Prof. Thomss F. Adkln
box lllta Rochester. N. T. telling me
Ijhe name of their trouble or their prin-
cipal symptoms sge and sex and I will
?1ve them of my services absolutely
ree.
"Surely yon do not mean that any one
wno is sica can write to you to oe cured
without paying you any money?"
"That Is Just what I do mean. It is not
charity or philanthropy on my part
though as a Chrlatlan I try to do my
share for my fellowman who is less for-
tunate thai 1. No one need hesitate
about accepting my offer I want to test
my discovery even more thoroughly I
want to fry It In thousands of oases so
ss to be absolutely sure of the limit of
Its power If there Is a limit. Possibly
It may be proved that death can be post-
poned that a man can live a hundred
or two hundred years as easily as hs now
lives forty."
Investigation proves the fact that all
Professor Adkln claims Is not only true.
but that his remarks during this Inter-
view ere a very modest and conservative
statement or his woncerrui neaiing power.
He Is not only a man ot world-wide fame.
but to his intimate associates and fellow
cltlsens of this city he Is known ss sn
upright. Ood-feartng man whose erord
Is as good ss his bond and whoas prom
ises are generally ruitiiiea twice ever.
