Knouff of the school and physical director, R. J.. Horton of the Y. M. C. A. spoke to the boys about the subject and asked that all co-operate to make this branch of the school work successful. In order to do this, the faculty and Mr. Morton are considering the advisability of having several teams organized among the boys for base ball and track athletics and competitive meets, held at the play grounds as soon as the weather warrants. The girls will also be asked to co-operate and it is probable that teams will be organized in tennis, volley, ball j and other games for their benefit. ! It is the intention of the faculty both of the high school and the Garfield school and the Y. M. C. A. officials to make the play grounds one of the most popular places in the city.

STORIES OF THE FEVER FAIL TO LESSEN ARDOR The Predictions of Professors That He Will Die of Snake Bite or Be Eaten by Lions Don't Terrify. 1 Oyster Bay., L. I , March 12. Theodore Roosevelt threw off the" mantle of silence which he has worn persistently since his arrival at Sagamore Hill, and talked yesterday about his African shooting trip. ' "I have just received a telegram from a press agency asking me if I would permit a representative to accompany me on my African trip," be said. "You may . say for me that I shall not permit this in any circumstances, j I -cannot prevent the news papers sending representatives on the steamship which will take- me to Naples or on the vessel which will VIPUVX I.U VI ilMlUUlf .Di llish 5ast Africa, but after that I shall I have something to say." "What preventive measures will you take?" was asked. Wants No Followers. . "I won't commit myself.- said. Mr. Roosevelt, laughing, "but I snail do all In my power to prevent the outfits ting of any caravan that designs' to follow my expedition int0 the jungle, I have been informed that one press agency expects to outfit a caravan with, a view to following my party, and this other news concern which has just wired me ,has similar plans. If It Is true I shall .do my utmost to foil the attempt. I -shall welcome ail newspaper men as fellow passengers until I reach my starting point in Africa. Then all friendship ceases until I return from the jungle." ."Do you expect to survive your trip, Mr. Roosevelt?" was a jocular question put to the former President. ; No Fear of Fever. "Come and see me during the fall of 1910 and then I shall answer you," he replied. "If these professors who take such a warm interest in my trip and my chances of contracting and surviving miasmatic fevers in the African jungle, knew how little their views affected me they might not utter them. I have been in bad places before and I know how to take care of myself. Besides, the territory In Africa I am going to visit Is as safe to traverse as are the marches in the South. I am accustomed to facing dangers and the fear of fever is purely imaginary. I served my appren ticeship on the western plains and a little jaunt in Africa win be merely a diversion. Silent About Oil. He was asked what he thought of the abandonment of the Standard Oil prosecution la Chicago, and a perceptible frown crept Into his face. "I have decided opinions upon the subject, he answered, "but circumstances force me to remain quiet. Therefore you must excuse me." -The citisens of Oyster Bay have arranged to give the ex-prestdent and Mrs. Roosevelt a. public reception in the town hall tomorrow evening from 8:30 to 10:30.

A CLEAI1 PROIHY

TO BE DEMAflDED BY LOCAL VOTERS Citizens Won't Stand for Repetition of the Primaries Held in Richmond the Last Campaign. BRIBERY AND OPEN VIOLATIONS OCCURRED It Will Be Up to the Candidates and the City Committee to Prepare Rules to Govern Election. voters or the city will demand a clean primary election. The last: nom inating election befdr by the republican's did not reflect with credit to the party. More votes were cast than ever before. Money was used freely Votes were bought and rebought. The market was played openly and election officers made no attempt to ceil a bait. The man1 last to see the voter before he entered the booth got the vote. It was estimated that more than one hundred democrats voted. Men voted who had ho legal residence here. To Avoid Repetition. All of tihis the best party men went done away with. " No repetition of such open crooked work as took place is wanted, and it is believed it will be to the beet Interests of all candidates if such practices are abolished. It will be up to the can'idates and the city committee to prepare a set of rules. A penalty caould be provided, it is stated, for conviction of violation by the removal of he name of the offending candidate from, the ticket. It is freely predicted that the race for mayor will be tie meet bitterly con ducted of any that have been held in Richmond. The' most ardent friends of .the .party are demanding; that the primary be kept dean. A Fair Campaign. A fair campaign and a fair count is wanted. No frameups ought to be tolerated and the ' city committee should see that Ho election boards ere composed of men. known to be particularly friendly, to any one of the candidates, it is argued. - - - - At the last municipal primary the vote for mayor was almost 1,000 larger than it was the time before. This fact brought forth adverse criticism. The thing the party wants and the voters are entitled to this year, Is an honest primary, voters state.

Lampert enlisted in the service six years ago and was assigned to duty on the battleship Missouri. Almost immediately after joining the ship, he began to collect hii tales of adven ture. These were .'climaxed however when a turbine blew up while the ship was In thePensacola Harbor, Florida, killing thirty men. He was blown up in the explosion, but landed on the shore with a few broken bones and bruises. After, recovering from the effects of the explosion he was then assigned to duty on the battleship Indiana and when his term of enlistment ran out in the fall of 1907. he was a coxswain of one of the crews. He did not reenlist until too late to accompany the battleship fleet on its journey around the world. However he states he did not care to make the trip, as it meant long hours of duty and he had seen all of tbe world he cared about seeing any way. Since his enlistment he has been in the recruiting branch of the navy. . . . .. While a member of the Indiana crew be was selected as a member of the battalion sent to get the body of IJobn Paul .

It is declared that if trouble were to. arise in the department and , it became the duty of tbe board to take action, it might be held the board had. no legal right to do so. If a Vacancy were to occur in the department and another man were need ed, it is claimed that any appointment tbe board might make would have to take the chance of being set aside. The mayor explains his delay simply by saying he is waiting for a certified copy of the acL - It is held by attorneys that it is not necessary that he should receive a copy before taking some action toward protecting the police interests of the city. . Subject of Comment The subject of probable changes in the department continues to be one for general discussion and comment. That there will be" a shift of some kind appears to be conceded. It is pointed oat. however, that very little could be gained by changing the superintendent and sergeants. A new superintendent would serve for only about eight months until another change would be in order. With the appointing power i resting with the mayor and a change in mayor's to take place at the close of this year, any new superintendent would bare but a brief experience in office unless he should chance .to be retained.
