" r. MISS WARREN, KEITH PORKIIER JITS JOB Mayor of New Castle Declines to Hold Police Court Every Day. TO APPOINT A SUCCESSOR New Castle, Ind., Sept 9. Prompted by a resolution adopted by .the council Monday night, calling on him to hold police court daily. Mayor Mark Forkner elected when New Castle became a city the first of the year on a non-partisan ticket last night submitted his resignation. Democratic members moved and seconded acceptance, while republican members moved and seconded against it, when Mayor Forkner announced he would serve no longer under any circumstances and the council accepted his resignation. In submitting the resignation Mayor Forkner charged the council with usurping the power to dictate the duties of the mayor, which action he said he believed was not legal, and stated that in so doing it made the aame law apply to all. He declared that to refuse to hold court and not resign would cause the mayor and council to be at loggerheads, which condition would be detrimental to the interests of the city. The mayor said his personal Interests were such that he could not hold court as demanded by the council, so that all revenue might go to the city. Councilman Prigg, democrat, will preside as mayor pro tem. and council will hold a meeting on Monday night, September 19, to appoint Forkner's successor. Already there are half 'a dosen candidates working to secure the appointment. The former mayor is widely known and many regret his action.

OFFICERS KEEP SILENT
AS THE ADMIRAL IN COMMAND OF THE FLEET HAS ORDERED THAT NEWSPAPER MEN SHALL NOT BE INFORMED. (American News ServicM.) Washington. Sept. 9. The official investigation into the fatal accident on board the battleship North Dakota in which three men were killed outright and ten others injured, got under way today. It is in the hands of the following officers of the fleet, appointed by Rear Admiral Schroeder: Captain C. A. Core of the Delaware; Lieut. Commander C. V. Price of tho Delaware and Lieut. Commander A, M. Proctor of the Connecticut. It was stated simultaneously with the beginning of the probing, that the cause of the explosion in the fuel oil system would not be made public officially until the investigation is completed. Unofficially it is reported that carelessness on the part of some one in the stock room will bje shown and the explosion may have a far reaching effect on account of the fact that oil was being tried out with a view to making it a supplemental fuel for naval use in the future. Whether the navy department will continue to use oil will be made known, it is believed, at the same time that the report on the North Dakota's accident is given to the public. Engineer officers, although instruct ed not to talk, said that the accident was undoubtedly the result of a leak in the supply pipes and that fire was communicated to the oil during a test to the apparatus under boiler No. 1. The wounded are on board the hos pital ship Solace and the North Dakota now lies at Hampton Roads, which point she reached early today. In this situation the possibility Is presented that the naval authorities will attempt to 'fix the charge of care lessness upon some one in the stoke room. As a result of the accident the North Dakota will hardly be able to sail from Hampton Roads on Saturday with the first division of the fleet to take part in battle practice off the, .Virginia, coast. :': " . Additional reports, some of a sensational nature,' were circulated at Fort Monroe and elsewhere today. One of them said that a fire raged in the oil room of the North Dakota for an hour afeter the explosion before the flames were quenced. ' Rear Admiral Schroeder in command of the fleet of which the North Dakota la a part, gave orders that officers on the ill fated vessel should not attempt to discuss the accident in the presence of newspaper men. Frank Taggart, ' who was arrested here and taken to Eaton, O on a Preble county warrant, charging him with housebreaking, was released, as there was no evidence against him. He was working In a meat market in Richmond at the time the alleged offense occurred. Send a Fail Festival Pos!
