C. MARLATT CAUSES A POLITICAL STIRs IS NOT CANDIDATE Favorite in Democratic Mayoralty Race Will Refuse Tae Nomination.

NEVER IN THE CONTEST Not iii Sympathy With Partisan Government of Cities Aiken Now Mentioned Charles R. Marlatt, who it was generally believed, would .be nominated for mayor at the Democratic city convention this evening, today created a political sensation by announcing he was not a candidate and would not accept the nomination if tendered to him. it was also announced that James P. Aiken, a well known retail grocer, would be a candidate for the mayoralty nomination and would probably receive much of the support that would otherwise have gone to Marlatt. Never Entered The Race In announcing to the Palladium that he was not a candidate for the Democratic mayoralty nomination Mr. Marlatt said he had never actually entered the race. He said he had been repeatedly urged to do so by his friends but had never given his consent to having his name brought before the convention ... "I do not believe 1 would be exceptionally well qualified for the office of mayor, and in the event I was elected I might make some enemies in my party that I would not like to make, for 1 most certainly would surround myself with men best qualified to act as my assistants. Party affiliations would receive little consideration from me in making appointments," said Mr. Marlatt. "I would be as loyal to my party as possible but I would put the best interests of the city above loyalty to party." "Then you are not in sympathy with partisan administration of municipal affairs?" he was asked. "No, I am not," replied Mr. Marlatt, Tn fact I firmly believe city government should be taken- out of politics." Will Cause Confusion. Mr. Marlatt regretted that his name had been mentioned so frequently in connection with the Democratic mayoralty nomination. The elimination of Mr. Marlatt from the Democratic mayoralty contest, in which he was regarded as the most important factor, leavesthe jrituation very much unsettled and probably wTfl result in a very spirited fight for first 4place on the ticket. r 'There is still talk of Fred Krone, a "well known Main street merchant, being nominated for mayor as a "dark horse," but Mr. Krone has repeatedly stated he would not accept the nomination. James P. Aiken, who was being mentioned today as a probable candidate for - tho , mayoralty nomination, has s f been in the grocery business in this city for a number of years and is a successful business man. He has never aspired to a political office but has always been an active Democrat and has a wide circle of friends. Farwig Well Known. Probably there is no better known resident of Richmond than Henry Farwig. He was born and raised in Richmond and frankly confesses that he Is forty years old. He also is uncle of Richmond's only triplets. Mr. Farwig has been connected with the Bayer bakery for seventeen years, as driver of a bread wagon. He always has been a staunch Democrat and active in party affairs,' one time he served as councilman from the first ward and about two years ago was appointed by Governor Marshall as local oil inspector. Mumbower Active. A .A. Mumbower is a well known business man and has lived in Richmond the . pastils enty-one years. For twelve years he has been connetced with the Wayne Works as lumber purchasing agent. Mr. Mumbower is an enthusiastic Democrat. He has never held public office nor aspired to such honor until this time. He has, however, for a number of years served his party well as Democratic chairman of the twenty-fourth precinct, fifth ward. It was generally believed today that ;either William Shute or Isaac T. Burns would be nominated for city clerk at the convention tonight. Both are well known Democrats. Neither has made an effort to secure the nomination, but would accept it if offered.

Students Play Rather Than Read Shakespeare

"Everyman." the old morality play made famous by the Ben Greet Players, will be given in the high school 'auditorium on the evening of November 7 and the afternoon of November 8 It is to be staged under the direcition of Miss Elizabeth Comstock. The leading part is to be taken by Miss Gwendoline Foulke, who during the past year has played the character of Everyman with the Ben Greet comjpany. The rest of the cast is to be chosen "from among the high school students "Everyman" is a play from that period of the drama out of which developed the Shakespearean play. For years it had been neglected until Ben Greet 'saw its possibilities and produced it in England in 1902. Its success there was so great that the next year he Ibrought it to the United States whf h has been playing it ever since with threat success. Uniqueness of Play. The play pleases because of its uni.queness, depicting as it does the charlacter and manners of an age long Igone by, and also because of the grandeur of its lines. There is about the jlay an air of solemn dignity entirely

The trenches are being dug for the natural gas mains near here. Five machines are being used. Another machine i3 located near New Paris. missed in these days of the modern drama. This will be an event of unusual interest, it is believed, for the high school and for the community becaus"e it is to be given as a community play. The production will be under the auspices of the Art association assisted by committees of the high school faoulty. The play has been given a number of times as a university production but never before, probably, as a joint community and high school affair. The idea out of which the plans for this production grew was a statement dropped by Mr. Greet when he was playing Shakespeare here last spring. He said: "The high school children of the United States should be playing Shakespeare instead of reading Shakespeare." Appoint Committees. The plans for the production are already well under way The following are the heads of committees appointed at a meeting held at the high school yesterday: Stage manager, Miss Elizabeth Comstock, assisted by Professor Kelly; committee on cast: W. C. Conrad; finance, E. R. H'iman; costumes. Miss Enuna BondV

Sulzer Objects. Then it was that Chief Judge Cullen decided that Governor Sulzer be called to the bar. And then it was that Sulzer, offering through his counsel merely a formal appearance which did not recognize the court to sit, failed to respond to the call. In these circumstances the court adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. At that time a committee of three will report the rules for procedure and a great legal contest will be formally put into motion. The court as it is constituted contains a total of fifty-seven members. Two-thirds of these will be necessary for a conviction. The judges of the court of appeals will not first express their views but will vote upon each proposition as individual members of the court. The high court of impeachment of New York, met at 11:52 o'clock today to hear the charges against William Sulzer. Crowds thronged the corridors and complained because they were denied entrance either to the gallery or the senate chamber. They loitered about evidently thinking that the rules would be changed and they eventually would have an opportunity of hearing the impeadnTtnent ro ings. As the first of the senators came along this forenoon, it became known that a midnight-hatched plan to delay the court would not be tolerated. Manager Levy, chairman of the board named to prosecute the Sulzer charges, confessed 'the failure of the scheme. "The assembly will not make any addition to the impeachment , charges today," said Mr. Levy. This j change of plan which, had .been made at 3 o'clock this morning left the assembly with no reason for coming down at the early hour it had fixed for convening Crier Opens Court. This is the way the Sulzer court of impeachment was opened by the court crier: "Hear ye! Hear ye! All persons having business before this high court for the trial of impeachment held in and for the state of New York, may draw near, give their attention and they will be heard." , When the chief judge came to his place he took the gavel and said: "The assembly of the state having presented to the senate articles of impeachment against Wrilliam Sulzer, governor of the state, the president pro tempore of the senate, in accordance with the law, had summoned the senators of the state and the judges of the court of appeals to convene at this time and act as a court of impeachment. The first proceeding in order will be to call the roll and see that a majority of the senate and court of appeals are in attendance as required to constitute a valid court." Two are Absent. The roll call showed all except Judge Gray and Senator Fitzgerald present. BETTER BOOKS NOT READ SAYS TEACHER Richmond Boys, in Teacher's Opinion, Should Cultivate Taste. "Richmond boys who would become great do not seem desirous of following the regulation path to the dizzy heights of fame," said an instructor in the public schools. "Lincoln paved his path to the presidency when he stayed home evenings instead of going to a husking bee, after doing a day's work and he improved his mind by reading Pilgrims Progress. "Other men who subsequently became great relegated their leisure moments with Robinson Crusoe, when they wearied of the journey of Christian through sloughs, morasses and other places where a seven passenger automobile could not penetrate. But the younger citizens of Richmond will be unable to attain the eminence of county prosecutor if the kind of books they seek can be adjudged a criterion of their future," he concluded. The books most sought by the juveniles of this city belong in three series, according to Miss Harriet Foulke of the Morrisson-Reeves library. Listed in the order of their popularity as follows: Motor Boy series, Jack Rauger series and the Rover Boy series.

President Kelly laid special emphasis upon the growth of the institution. and called attention to the need of specjai gifts from wealthy Friends to meet the requirements of the General Education Board, which has given the college a large endowment conditioned upon the raising of $400,000. Enrollment 473. His report in part follows: The total enrollment for the year ending with the spring term of 1913 was 473.

Twentyfive graduates were men and twentyfive were women. Year's Progress. As a step in the development of the musical interests of the college there might be mentioned the chorus, which for the first time was conducted at college expense, no tuition having been charged students for admission. The college received during the year from Mrs. Hannah M. Fisher, Tacoma, Washington, a cane and gavel of great historic value, they having been made from one of the walnut rails split by Abraham Lincoln and used with well known effect at the Chicago convention at the time of Lin This cane and gavel were presented by Mr. Lincoln to his friend Ira Haworth, the father of the donor Mrs. Fisher. Biblical Work. During the year two or three conferences were held between officers of the college and representatives of the two Yearly Meetings, with a view of adopting a 'satisfactory course of study for the Biblical Department of the college and the academics. Such a course was outlined and agreed to by all who participated in the confer- , ences. The college awaits additional funds for the carrying out of the plans agreed to. Growth of Museum. Each year there are numerous additions to the many specimens already in the museum. Among the gifts received last year may be mentioned an extraordinarily large and fine geode from Mrs. Walter Moore of Nobles(Contlnued on Page Three.)

Many Parley Floats in Industrial Parade

Present indications point to the fact that the Industrial parade to be held on the second day of the Fall Festival, bids fair to be the most elaborate review ever given in this part of the state. One of the leading features will be the string of 200 or more Ford automobiles from all over the county. This section will be more than a mile and a half long and the machines will be decorated by the agency here. Each car will carry five passengers, making a total of 1,000 persons riding in Ford cars, alone. Three times as many manufacturers will have floats in the parade as in the last parade. Merchants and large firms are responding to the call for floats and it is probable that the entire parade will be twice as long as the industrial parade of last year. The exhibtt tent has won favor with many and this tent will be crowded to PRINTERS ARRANGE GUODJfILL EVENT Local Typographical Union Banquet to Members and Employers.

' Those who will place floats in the industrial parade refuse to make pub- ; lie their plans on account of the com-; petition for cups. That the floats will be very elaborate is assured from the fact that five ' decorating firms will be at work on floats for private concerns. Automo-1 biles will be popular, the decorating j firms carrying designs and equipment to fit touring car and large machines. The decorator who holds the con tract to trim part of the downtown i section will be here Monday and ex-; pects to have the city ready in its j gala attire by September 30.

WARSHIPS TO STAY MEXICAN PORTS Huerta's Message is Closely . Studied by, Washington ;- Officials. WASHINGTON. Sept. IS. Although Washington recognizes the fact that the address of Gen. Huerta at Mexico City yesterday was distinctly meant for home consumption,, officials here studied it today to find out whether Huerta retained any hope that an attempt to bluff the United States government will terminate in success. The message is considered beligerent towards the United States in some respects and the only recognltion of American policy, running through it is the definite promise that! elections will be held In October throughout Mexico. Reports are current today that Senor Zamacona has been lnformly communicating with the state department and that negotiations have advanced since his coming here. Secretary of State Bryan refuses either to confirm or deny this report. American war ships will remain in Mexican waters indefinitely in spite of any desire to the contrary on tne part of Gen. uer. ta. This was the opinion expressed by state navy department officials in commenting on the clause In Huerta's message in which he called attention to the fact that the period of six months for which Mexico had invited the American battleship, would expire next month and strongly intimated that the invitation would not be renewed. The United States government considers that it is entirely within its rights in keeping the fleet in Mexican waters. Government officials today believed that Huerta would not dare to request the withdrawal of the ships because this country is empowered by j international law to maintain war ves sels in any vicinity where Americans are in danger.
