Three More CasAidates for Deputy Css-
BecssF-Ths Fight On Heifner.
The fight for the position OF deputy col
lecsor at this port grows hotter ana the
number OF candidates is increasing day by
day. Three more were sprung yesterday,
apparently a. . result Of the conference
Collecso. Saunders had With some OF
the leaders on Tuesday and OF
the seeming certainty that neither
C. G. He,fner nor Charles Espiin. IT,.
ban win. J. w. Todd. the police reporter
of the Telegraph, went 10 Por; Townsend
and presented his application to Coiiecsor
Saunders. with joan Collins ENDORSEMENT.
]. ]. Burns. who was candidate for county
clerk last election. also went down on the
same mission. II was said that Delegate
s. S. Carlisle had also become . candi-
date. The applications Of DR.. A. n Ma
rion and D. O'Hara are also on ME and
they are stay ing in the fight
II is said that Todd's candidacy WAS
sprung with view to Heifner's withdraw
ing in his favor. CariisIe's name seems to
have been mentioned on account o. the
hot fight on Heitner and Esp.ins youth
having almost con WINGED Saunders that
either is out OF the question. Tor the deter
mination to support him vas reached very
soon after Saunders left the city Tuesday
The result will probably not be known for
several days, a. both Heifner and Espiin
are TO be given further time to substanti-
ate their claims. The fact that Heifner
has already been rewarded with position
of ST. 300 year il urged against him, and
friends OF ex-Superintenden Wilson have
not been idle, rs they attribute Wilson's
removal partly to the Vaccinations OF the
kid" committee. although If that be true
the object sought was not attained, rs the
appointment of r. H. Calligan Was not
contemplated by that august political
body.
A story was told yesterday with great
deal Of circumstantial detail. that the
partisan fight against Jackson will be used
70 Heifner's detriment. It vas based
on the ground that there was
proof of premeditated action. Quilter
was the first man approached with
. view to getting him to take Jack
sons place, ON condition that he placed
his signed resignation in the hands Of the
kid" committee, 70 be put in force if his
administrati were not acceptable to the
kids" The story is that Quilter refused
and that Arthur G. Lane and an officer
now in the police department were sim
ilariy approached. but they also re-
fused. Whether Jack Mcdonald Was
found more acquiescent Is not
known. It is not claimed that Heifner
had direct hand in these plottings, but
his position on the kid committee is held
to be sufficient to include him in the gen.
eral responsibility.
The appearance of two Of the latest can
didates il announced in the following dis
patch:
Poxr TOWNSEND. June Is tSpeciail-
new candidate with formidable backing has
made his appearance in the contest for deputy

considerable prestige lately and Es-
pins chances increased correspondiugly

candidate In the field in the person OF
Told. Independent OF this combination came
J. J. Burns from Seattle today, after the same
position. Dr.. Marion and d. o. Hsra both have
applications on file for McKenxie's position. It
