DOCTOR WILL RUN AGAINF0R MAYOR Says That Matter of Choosing Ticket Is Difficult One.

IS SURE OF ONE VOTE Zimmerman Blandly Indifferent As to Sentiment of Progressives, Dr. W. W. Zimmerman will be a candidate for mayor of Richmond for the sixth time at the coming city election to be held next fall. There appears to be no doubt that Dr. Zimmerman will not be a candidate of the Progressive party for this office if the rank and file of that party have anything to say about the matter, but the doctor apparently is blandly indifferent to the sentiment of the Progressive voters of this city as regards 'himself and complacently announced today that he had not definitely decided just what ticket he would make the race on. Dr. Zimmerman stated today that he would wait until meetings of the various parties had been held so he could ascertain the trend of the sentiment in this community and then announce just what organization he would affiliate with. It is understood that if the doctor decides not to head the ticket of any of the political organizations he will make the race as an independent candidate. "I am certain of one vote anyway" said the mayor to a newspaper man this afternoon. "That's the vote I shall cast myself." "I cannot announca any of my plans now," stated the mayor, "as something may come up which will change them entirely." At first he refused to state that he would run for mayor but later nald, "I will run for the people. There are those who are too radical in their Ideas and those who are too conservative. What the people want is a man who is neither. They want someone who can please them all the time and that is hard to do unless you understand them." T may run on the Progressive, Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Socialist Labor, Prohibitionist or Independent ticket." "You surely will not run on the Democratic ticket?" asked the reporter. "Don't be too sure about that," retorted the mayor." When asked how many time he has been mayor of Richmond he answered, "I don't know exactly, it has been so many times." He then said. "I guess the next time will be the fifth time I have been mayor. He showed no lack of confidence that the next mayoratity election would be in his favor. A To Be Placed in Memoriam of Late Priest. J ( A large window in memoriam of the Jate Rev. McMullin, who was pastor of the St. Mary's church for thirty years will be placed in the new church, now in the course of construction. SubscriptionsVill be started the latter part of this month. The window which will be dedicated to Father McMullin will be placed back of the alter and will be the largest one in the church.

Wissler were locked in ths county jail this morning by the attaches of the jail which they were allowed to inspect for the purpose of understanding criminal punishment more thoroughly. ; Many girls as well as boys were in the jail and looked in horor at the prisoners who now occupy the county bastile. Aside from Clarence Parker, who is held at the jail pending the outcome of his trial for the murder of Irvin White, the other prisoners are confined for drunkeness and other petty offenses. There is fewer prisoners at the jail at this time than there has been for several months. There are not more than ten prisoners at the jail at this time. Previously to the trip to the jail, the class paid a visit to the circuit court room where the case of the probation of the will of Eliza Veregge is being tried. ' An Odd Legacy. Thomas Jefferson. the founder of the Jefferson family of actors, was remembered curiously In the will of Weston, who was himself an esteemed member of Garrick's company. Weston's will contained this item: "I have played under the management of Mr. Jefferson at Richmond and received from him every politenasj. I therefore leave him all my stock of prudence, it being the only good quality I think he stands In need of." Wellington and Waterloo. H-tne. In speaking of Wellington's good lock at Waterloo, says: "This man has the bad fortune to meet with good fortune when the greatest man of the world Is unfortunate. We see In him the victory of stupidity over genius Arthur Wellington triumphant when Napoleon Bonaparte was overwhelmed. Wellington and Napoleon! it is a wonderful phenomenon that the human mind can at the same time think of .both these names," . .. -

PROMISING RECRUIT IN CAMP OF GIANTS

1

Big Bill Torrey, is a big southpaw, and after aweek of stiff workouts at Marlin Springs, Tex., Coach Wilbur Robinson has predicted that he will help McGraw win the 1913 pennant for New York. Torrey was a recruit of the Giants in 1911 but fell a victim to typhoid fever and was out of the game for two years. He was formerly a star on Jimmy Callahan's star outlaw team, the Logan Squares of Chicago. 2 FORMER SHERIFFS WILL BE BENEFITTED If Act Passed Yesterday on "In and Out" Fees Is Signed. Providing an act which was passed by the state legislature is signed by Governor Ralston, Al Steen and Linus Meredith former sheriffs will be benefited to the extent of several hundred dollars. , The bill provides that twentyflve cents shall be paid for every prisoner admitted into the jail and the same amount shall be paid upon their release. There is an average number of 20 prisoners at the jail each day which would approximately amount to a sum of $730 per year being paid to the former county officials. There were thirty-three inmates of the jail the first of the year though there are now less than twelve. The average number during the year 1911 was 23 per day thought the present year will fall below that number it is believed. The sheriff is also allowed ten cents more per day for the maintenance of each prisoner. According to the local officials the prisoners at the local jail are better cared for than at any other county jail in the state. ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ATTEND SCHOOL All Children Living in Avenue House May Have Scarlet Fever. Persons living at the Avenue House, 240 Fort Wayne avenue were subjected to scarlet fever yesterday and Health Officer Davis has ordered that the 19 children of the several families making their homes in the house be kept at home for ten days and not allowed to attend school until an examination has"been made of their condition as the result of Merrill, son of Mrs. French, 615 North Eighth street, contracting scarlet fever. The Frenchs visited one of the families at the Avenue House while infected. Dr. Davis stated that they were immediately taken home and placed under quarantine. A close watch will be kept on the Avenue House to discover any signs of the disease there. The children will be examined before they are allowed to return to school.

Speichler purchased two pieces of property recorded as being Pts. S. W. section 23, township 15, range 1, N W. section 26, township 15 and range 1 for $22,000. The other property was Pts. S.

FOUR MAY RUN FOR COOIITINODGSHIP Gardner, Bond, Fox and Comstock Spoke of in This Connection.

There will probably be four candidates for the office of judge of the Wayne circuit court at the next election. Though it has not been announced as yet, Alonzo Gardner, former city attorney, is expected to be a candidate. Mr. Gardner has been affiliated with the city government for a number of years and last week res'gned as city attorney. City Attorney Bond has not as yet announced his candidacy for the office though he refused to state that he noi.'ld not be a candidate. Mr. Bond is a Progressive, though he was appointed to the office of city attorney under the present Republican administration. Judge Henry C. Fox will run for the office again providing his health will permit him to do so. He has served in that capacity for a number of years. The other possible candidate is exJudge D. W. Comstock. ZIMMERMAN FAVORS HASTY SETTLEMENT Mayor Says He Wants Water Works Matter Brought to Speedy End. In speaking of the awarding of the water franchise, Mayor Zimmerman stated today that every effort will be made by the city officials to dispose of j the matter as soon as possible and to aard the franchise. He stated that nothing had been gained by putting the matter off as long as it has been and that there was no use of further delay. It is the opinion of the mayor that the present franchise is a good one. He did not state his opinion of the bid which was presented by the Richmond City Water Works. "The utilities commission can act on the rates at any time so there is no use waiting longer. It may be a year or more before the commission will be able to take the situation here in hand," said the Mayor. He stated that he and City Attorney Bond are making a study of the bid so that an intelligent decision can be reached as soon as possible. He does not know when the matter will come up again but said that he will make an effort to bring it to a hasty settlement. GIDEON HERE SUNDAY Member of Society Will Talk At Y. M. C. A. A meeting of unusual interest will be held at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon in charge of the "Gideons," the Christian Commercial Travelers' Association of America. The principal speaker will be Edward Allison, of Dayton. The influence of this organization has been great among traveling men. One feature of the work is the placing of Bibles in the guest rooms of the principal hotels in all cities. Many of the leading hotels in big cities have been supplied with Bibles and one of the interesting numbers of Sunday's program in Richmond will be the carrying of the books to principal hotels by a large company of young men and boys preceding the meeting which is to be held at 3 o'clock in the association building.- '' 1T.0 OH in Ciov. Cloves are simply the dried flower buds of a beautiful evergreen tree growing naturally on the Spice islands These flower buds are gathered when they have become of a bright red and are just on the point of opening. The name comes from the resemblance of the prepared spice to small nails, from the French word clon. for nail. Cloves are very heavily charged with a pungent, acrid, volatile oil. as'much as 20 per cent sometimes being extracted. This oil ia valuable for flavoring and scenting purposes and has a limited field in medicine, but the babit of "eat Ing cloves," in which young folks and too often old ones Indulge, is very rep rehensible. as the oil Is a powerful drug, becoming In many cases an insidious poison.

f SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

READY FCR BATTLE WITH THEROSE MEN Richmond and Terre Haute Teams to Fight It Out Tonight. BY "JAY EF." On the eve of the battle, which, in all probability will decide the secondary championship of the state, reports from Karlham and Rose Poly camps, say that both teams are in the pink of condition. The game tonight at the Coliseum, it is expected, will be hotly contested. Both aggregations are out for the bacon, which, in this case means honor to the victors. Some Earlham basketball fans believe that the winning of the game tonight will give them the title of secondary champions and Rose Poly also contends that a victory will throw the title to them. However, Wabash temporarily, at least, holds the title and unless the dope bucket is completely upset the Crawfordsville team will hold on to it. At the first part of the season Rose defeated Wabash at Terre Haute by the close score of 22 to 21; at Crawfordsville, Wabash trampled Rose by 33 to 14. This gives Wabash a lead over the Rose Polytechnic bunch on the scores. Earlham has been defeated by Wabash by the score of 26 to IS. However, the Quakers showed up better against Notre Dame than did Rose. Earlham was defeated here by the Catholics by a score of 28 to 18 and at South Bend by the score of 31 to 12. Rose was defeated on their own floor by the Catholics by something like 45 points. Basketball enthusiasts, who have followed the sport throughout the season say that the game tonight is just a question as to whether the Quakers or the Rose will land in the second place in the secondary list. Rose Poly plays in flashes. Their regular men are big and husky. Good work is expected of Gray, the star Rose Center. Also Haggarty, forward. Crowe and Deming are good gnards. However it is hard to beat the Earlham "goal tenders" as the Quakers have good men in Williams and Sharpless. Rowe will play center and Berry and Wolf forwards. Earlham has the advantage if it Is an advantage of playing on the home floor and before the home crowd. The stage is set; the curtain drawn On with the play! Bock Beer on draft a bottled Saturday. Minck Brewing Co., Pho SPORT NEWS NEW YORK, March 7. The battle between Jack Britton and Packey McFarland. the rival Chicago lightweights, who fight tonight at the Madison Square garden will take place before the largest crowd that ever filled the big auditorium to witness a fight, it is predicted today. The men have leen rivals for years. The agreement calls for 137 pounds by each fighter at 3 o'clock this afternoon. NEW YORK. March 7. The United States baseball league which had a brief but stormy existence last-year, was re-born here last night at a meeting of the owners.

KILLED TODAY (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS. March 7. The house today passed the Harmon Senate bill prohibiting the publication of false and misleading advertising. The deadlock on the general appropriation bill remained unbroken today. Rep. Spencer designated the carnation as the official state flower in a joint resolution introduced today. Governor Ralston signed the anticocaine bill today. The senate tcday killed trie bill to abolish capital punishment and passed a substitute for the Koenig workman's compensation bill which was passed by the house earlier in the day. The substitute was introduced by Senator Van Nuys and provides for the appointment of a commission of five persons to serve without compensation and to make a thorough investigation of workman's compensation laws in other states and other countries and report to the next-general assembly. The passage of the Van Nuys substitute was a severe jolt to the labor lobby. Senator Clark's bill making it unlawful for newspapers to print untrue advertisements was killed. The objection was that the advertisers and not the newspapers should be held responsible. Following ths Rseips. Mrs. Marsh took a bit of the cake and laid it down hastily.
