MERRILL SILENT ABOUT HIS PLANS

Refuses to State Regarding His Alleged Candidacy For Mayor.

MUM ABOUT CONVENTION

ONE LEADING DEMOCRAT ASSERTS THE PARTY WILL PICK THE BEST MAN TO HEAD THE CITY TICKET.

Despite the fact that there was a circus In town yesterday police court today was a quiet place. Circus day Is usually accompanied by riots, disorder and drunks galore, but yesterday there was only one arrest during the entire day and night. And that was for Intoxication. The police state that they have never seen a more orderly crowd than the army of men which are employed and travel with Barnum & Bailey's circus. Although

two days was pent In the city there was no trouble what ever among the circus attaches and the police were

given no cause to worry. "We might

just as well have-been at home In bed as far as keeping order was concerned, remarked one patrolman. "I never

saw a more gentlemanly bunch with

a circus and there was not even a

drunk seen on the grounds." Had Pinker-ton Force. But -perhaps the presence of the big blue coats on the grounds had a tendency to promote this excellent con

duct No pickpockets, which usually

accompany a large circus of this kind In droves, were discovered and no evidence ofUneir having paid this city a visit was (reported. It Is alleged that the large force of Plnkerton detectives which Is employed to travel with the circus Is largely responsible for , their absence.

Enormous crowds attended both the afternoon and evening performance of the circus, which was full of new features and was one of the best that has . been seen In Richmond for many years. A large drove of clowns entertained the crowd by their amusing and ridiculous actions. One clown, who was dressed as an old lady and who appeared to have lost "her" way, caused much merriment among the audience by stopping men on their way to their seats In the big tent, and maktIng Inquiries. This, by the way, was accompanied by a hug and a kiss, in some instances to the great embarrassment of the victim who broke away and fled amid the greatest confusion -while the huge crowd roared with laughter. Many Good Features. The trapeze work, tight wire walking and bareback riding was of high order, and many new stunts were pulled off. Jupiter, the "balloon

horse" was a novel innovation and a

pleasing and very spectacular feature

Desperado, who dives from the top of the big tent onto an incline and then lights gently on his feet, thrilled both the old and young, and his act is a

' very daring and death defying one.

In fact the circus could not have been improved upon and all who attended

It pronounced It a great success.

There was a big crowd at the railroad after the show to witness the loading of the mammoth affair which, to many. Is a more interesting event

than the unloading. Everything moved

like clock work!

able that wherever It Is possible the president will give his views of the, tariff bill. Like a Kilkenny Boy. He will be delighted if he can present these views to the same people who have been tendering ovations to Senators Cummins, LaFollette, Beveridge, Nelson, Clapp and Dolliver since the adjournment of Congress. When it is recalled that the President will go into the states of all these Senators, except Beveridge, and that in Iowa and possibly Minnesota, he will speak from platforms where the Senators named are seated, the possibilities of excitement are manifest. In Minnesota, at least, the President is expected to become personal on the subject of the tariff. At Winona in that state lives Chairman Tawney, of the House Committee on Appropriations. Mr. Tawney is in danger of defeat because of his support of the Payne bill. The President is scheduled to make a special stop at Winona, and1 it is on the cards for him to make a special plea for his friend Tawney. At either St. Paul or Minneapolis, Senators Nelson and Clapp will greet the President, and at Des Moines, Iowa, .Senator Cummins is to act as

host to the President for a part of his stay in that city. Previous to that the President will have made stops In Wisconsin, the LaFollette state.

No Direct Reply. It Is not believed1 that the President

will make any direct reply to LaFollette and Cummins, but those who hear his speeches will.be In no doubt

as to his references. A particular feature of the coming contest is that the President will not be able to make any defense of the Payne bill without condemning before their home constituents the Senators who fought and voted against it.

SUFFRAGE CAUSE ENDORSED RY HER

Today Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont Opens Newport Palace To Workers,

TO GIVE LECTURES THERE ACTION OF THE WEALTHY AND FASHIONABLE WOMAN IS EXPECTED TO AID MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT COUNTRY.

"Nobody knows; nobody cares." This appears to be the slogan of the democrats of the city in respect to the

approaching convention, election of

officers and etc. No one seems to know a thing about it or else they are

all afraid to talk, for at the mere mention of a democratic convention, those

who are in a position to give out in

formation on the subject and enlight ened the public a trifle as to the mu

nicipal election plans close up tighter

than a Thermos bottle. City Clerk Clifford W. Merrill, who Is chairman of the city central committee, when asked this morning if there was any truth in the rumor current that he would be a candidate for the democratic nomination for mayor this fall, absolutely refused to either deny or affirm the report. He also stated tha. he did not know when he would call the convention but probably would take this action the first week in October. It, apparently, is not known by any one whether the entire ticket will be nominated, or just the mayor. Claims No Rivalry.

However one of the prominent democrats of the city did loosen up to the extent of telling that there was no rivalry whatever shown in the race for mayor among the democrats. He stated that the best man would be nominated and that while he understood that Clifford Merrill, Pettis Reid. C. B. Beck or Henry Farwig would gladly accept the nomination if it were tendered, he was certain that there was no "fight on" among these men in an effort to obtain the plum. He stated that none of those mentioned for mayor, ?s far, as he knew, were making any special exertion or carrying on any secret canvas among their friends to bring about the nom

ination for themselves. "There is no personal Interest in the matter," he concluded, the strongest man for the place will be nominated and all of the democrats of the city will put their shoulders to the wheel and carry on a strenuous campaign in an effort to secure his election, this fall."

"VOTES FDR WOMEN"

(American News Service) Liverpool, Aug. 24.

Newport, R. I., Aug. 24. A new epoch was marked in the campaign for woman's suffrage throughout the United States today when Marble House, the palace home of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, was thrown open to the public for lectures in favor of the suffrage movement by its most eminent exponents, thus placing Mrs. Belmont in the foremost rank of suffragist leaders in this country. With her position in American society, her millions and her fame as a hostess, Mrs. Belmont's action in taking active command of the society faction of suffragists will exert wide in

fluence.

The shrewder ones among the equal i

rights workers see a clever movement expected to enlist the services of the American women who follow blindly anything they think to be fashionable. Now that the Newport cottage settlement with Mrs. Belmont as its leader has practically endorsed suffrage, it

fmay be a great impetus to the move

ment in other parts of the United States. Called by Curiosity. There were some who visited the stately estate of Marble House today more to gratify a curiosity than to aid the cause. The fame of the splendid mansion attracted many. The interior is wholly of the period of Louis XIV. The ballroom is finished in carved wood and the walls are moulded in bas-reliefs representing gods and goddesses of mythology." As the name suggests the mansion is constructed of marble and In front are four pillars reaching from the earth to roof. The early treasures of the gothic room

are fabulously rare and valuable. On the terrace overlooking the sea are a series of notable carvings In marble. One dollar was charged for a ticket to admit to the meeting on the lawn, the initial number upon the program to

day. For the lectures in the palace five dollars was the price of a ticker. Mayor Boyle of Newport presided and the chief speaker was the Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw. Prof. Charles Zueblin will speak Saturday. A tent had been pitched upon the lawn In which luncheon was served. An orchestra played and while refreshments were served and there was dancing. Mrs. Belmont had planned ' to give the affair a social touch which pleased many of the ticket bearers greatly and the greatest flutter or excitement accompanied the explorations of the audience about the magnificent mansion and spacious grounds.
