Manager, Clark Griffith is Likely to Lose His Berth

Cincinnati. June 17. There has been a world of gossip going on in and out of Cincinnati for the past several weeks regarding Manager Clark Griffith of the Keds and his remaining at the helm of the Cincinnati club. liefore he came to Cincinnati three seasons ago Griffith was the manager of the New York Highlanders and before that he was the manager of the White Sox in Chicago. He had perhaps as brilliant a career as a pitcher as any man who ever threw balls and strikes. Since ho has ben In the mangcrial end of the game ho has won just one pennant, that with the White Sox, and came so close to it with the Highland-

the Phillies. To sum it up, Griffith is about to lose his job unless the team gets to working better. Some say he has until July 1 to make a showing, and that unless he comes to the front by that time Captain Mitchell will be placed in charge until his successor is appointed.

DATE OF ELECTION III TOWNSHIP SET Option Ballots in Territory Outside the City to Be Cast July 14.

Residents of Wayne township outside the city of Richmond will decide on Friday, July 14, whether that territory shall be dry or wet for a period of two years, determining by their vote the possibility of a road house being opened, which some fear might be a possibility. This date for the option election was set by the board of county commissioners at their session today. Albert Aaderson, dry advocate, and Levi Myers, wet advocate, were named to serve witt tho county auditor as the board of election .commissioners. A tentative list of judges, clerks and inspectors, regardless of party affiliation, or opinions on the liquor question was drawn up. The selection of n wet election commissioner gave the board some

DEPARTMENT STORE BEING CONSIDERED ,W. H. Turner Says He May Build One on the Site of the Central Hotel.

Announcement was made today by both Mrs. Hannah Swift of this city and Will H. Turner, u Kokomo business man. and formerly engaged In business here, that tho Main street property between Eighth and Ninth streets, which for many years has been known as the Central hotel, hud been old to Mr. Turner by Mrs. Swift for 130,000. Mr. Turner is given Immediate possession of the property subject to a lease of tho present tenant, which expires next week. Mr. Turner, by his announcement acquired the property for Its investment feature, though later iiKn the expiration of the lease he may raze the present structure and on the site erect another building for a modern apartment store, lie is now engaged In the dry goods business In Kokomo with Mr. K. J. Humpe, formerly engaged in the re-

tall she business here. Since leaving the city Mr. Turner has cherished the hope of some day owning a department store building here. Plans Art Tentative. Ills plans for the improvement of the building are at present only tentative but In case he Improves it he now contemplates. It will be a most modern business block. His business at Kokomo, he states will demand his attention there and he Is not contemplating locating here. In business circles it has been rumored for several weeks that K. J. Humpe would return to Richmond and engage In the department storo business. Inasmuch as he is associated with Mr. Turner at Kokomo, the announcement of the business deal for the Central hotel property is taken to mean by business men that Mr. Humpe will have charge of the department Store when it Is opened here.

rs it affects the city. Hence the dif

ficulty In selecting a "wet" commis

sioner. Levi Myers was finally secured.

Little doubt Is entertained but that

the election will result in a "dry" verdict. Hardly more than a half dozen. If that number, wet votes are expected to be cast.

Tho saloon keepers and wet advo

cates In Richmond are believed to be solidly opposed to the opening of a road house In the township and are

therefore desirous of a dry decision. The belief has been expressed that because of the sentiments of the saloon keepers and the wet advocates

outside the city that the election will

be of little use; that no attempt to open a road house would be made if no election was held. One of the county commissioners declared this morning that he was sure no request for a license would have been made, and that ho was also sure that the board would never have granted one. The tentative list of judges, clerks and inspectors and tlve location of the polls in the five precincts follows: Precinct 1 Polls at No. 10 school house, Fairview: James Horrell and Frank Goodrich, judges; Walter Ratllff, inspector; Levi Jones and William Ratliff, clerks. Precinct 2 Polls at Minor's shop, Chester; Webb Hall and Charles Strader, clerks; George R. Minor, inspector; Tim Hart and Ben Norrls, judges. Precinct 3 Polls at grocery store at

Mlddleboro; Charles Puthoff and Charles Townsend, clerks; William

Jeffries, Inspector; Clinton Markley

and Nathan White, judges. Precinct 4 Polls to bo located on Ablngton pike; John Baumer and William Turner, clerks; Joo Dixon, inspector; James Brumfleld and Jesse Meek, judges. Precinct 5 Polls at No. 13 school house; Richard Davenport and James A. Bailey, judges; Ed Doran inspector; James Stanley and Ralph Cooker, clerks.

Commissioners Now Realize That County Must Whip Traction Company. Robert Beeson, chairman of the board of county commissioners, stated at the session of the board this morning that the refusal of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company to accept the compromise offered in the controversy regarding the placing of the company's tracks in the improvement or tho National road, west, left nothing else to be done except to fight out the mandamus suit entered in the Wayne circuit court by the commissioners' attorneys. No other efforts will probably be made, said Mr. Beeson. to reach an amicable settlement, and so far as the commissioners are concerned the matter rests entirely with the decision in the mandamus suit. A judgment in favor of the commissioners w ill mean that the traction company will be compelled to place its tracks beyond the south curb line of a 46 foot improve

ment as originally planned.

Mr. Beeson declared that the compromise was offered the traction officials at Indianapolis last week by County Attorney John F. Robbins. The terms of the compromise were that the width of the improvement should be lessened to 40 feet, the tracks to be placed in the six feet cut off, and the traction company was to maintain a like grade with the road and pay for all material placed in the six feet, but was given the benefit of the excavating which has already been done and which Contractor Cronin estimated at a value of $1,500. The traction officials when presented with the compromise, said Mr. Beeson, refused to consider it and made the county attorney another proposition. Mr. Beeson said this proposition was virtually the same as the company made earlier in the controversy. .The terms of the company's proposition are that it shall be given eight feet in which to place its tracks, reducing the width of the improvement to "8 feet, and the county shall pay for all the crushed stone that goes into the roadbed. No consideration, Mr. Beeson said, would be given this proposition. Argument on the demurrer filed by the attorney for the traction company in the mandamus suit will probably be made in the Wayne circuit court next week. With that point settled the case will be ready for hearing and a speedy trial is hoped for.

and Richmond lodges and representatives of Oriental encampment were present. They attended on invitation of Whitewater lodge, the largest from the standpoint of membership, and the biggest stockholder in the building, as the fraternal society wished to discuss the terms of the option and the proposed sale in order that the official representatives of all the lodges might report at the next meetings. Whitewater was unanimous for the sa!e. The other lodges, excepting Oriental Encampment, held that the

offer was not a good one, they believing more should be received for the building than approximately $96,000, as offered by Mr. Gennett. The lodges dissenting to the sale also did so for a sentimental reason, believing that as the block was their home and had been for so many years, that no other place would be found as agreeable. But Whitewater unanimously voted to sell its stock, but also decided to wait two weeks before signing up the option. As the lodges who do not care to sell would be minority stockholders, should Whitewater lodge sell, it is probable they will also agree to dispose of their stock. Mr. Gennett has agreed to take all

stock at $G0 a share, which is the offer he made to Whitewater lodge, owner of approximately 56 per cent of the stock. It is understood that should he acquire the building it will be remodeled and possibly another story added. The upper floors will be used for office purposes while the ground floor will be for store rooms, as at present.
