GREGORY IS OUT OF THE RACE
The Police Commissioner Wfthdraws
in Time to Escape the Wrath
to Come.

Police Commissioner Robert l.. Gregory
yesterday formally made the announce
ment that he was not and would not be a
candidate for mayor. This puts a quietus
to the furore his friends have been making
for him., and of the bombardment of the
union labor forces. Mr.. Gregory says he
never said he WAS n candidate. and was
not scared off by the attacks of the Indus
trial Council. He admits that several pol
iticians had asked him to run for mayor.
but denied that any man ever had author
ity to go out laboring for him and seeking
to advance his cause. Whether he had ever
taken the matter seriously or not his
friends had. and they had urged him not
10 go into the battle as 1t meant certain
and disastrous defeat.
Now that Mr.. Gregory has been taken off
the track the supporters of Judge Gibson
are in glee. and claim his nomination is
easy 10 secure. 1t is quite likely the city
committee will now be called together in
short order. and the preliminary work for
the primaries ordered so that Judge Gibson
may be placed officially on the track and
get started.

A Measuring Wheel.

The rotary measuring instrument will I'M
doubtedly prove to be a boon to men in
nearly every walk of life. 1t can be worn
as a watchcharm. and as a pocket instru-
ment 1t takes up very little room. 1t will
do the work of either rule or measuring
tape. and will measure with accuracy .frac-
tions of al inch or the length of a room.
and by its use the necessity of employing
il is invaluable in measuring curved lines.
To measure any object it is simply neces-
sary to run the instrument over the sur
face. The distance will be shown by the
hands. the long hand registering inches and
fractions of an inch, and the short hand
measuring feet.

most unaccountable drop. The elec.

leakage, weakness, somewhere. Again
and again the same remarkable and in
Simultaneous drop showed on the chart,
and the perplexed telephone engineer
went from Chicago to Louisville 10 in

passed to the nearest buffet. That was
crowded, and they tried another, only
to find it also thronged. Then the cleo

past 10 o'clock, and daily scene was
being enacted. All Louisville was out
