Mayor Jones, of Toledo, Says 1t VIII
Become General
NEW YORK, April e21.-Mayor S. M.
Jones, of Toledo who is in New York,
was interviewed by a Herald reporter on
the report from Ohio that he might be
nominated for governor on the Repub-
lican ticket.
II am not candidate" said Mr. Jones,
though there has been much talk in
Ohio about nominating me. I have a.
loud call to be mayor of Toledo. Nearly
1900 of the $4,000 citizens who voted
there at the last election cast their woes
for the Independent ticket on which I
ran, though both the political machines
all the newspapers and corporations in
the city and few of the eminently re-
spectacle people were against me. Mu-
nicipal owership of public utilities is the
first step in reform. This public over
ship will extend to the state and nation,
and I believe that, in 1850, 1t will be hard
ly possible to find a railroad in the coun-
try in private hands. The telegraph will
be the first to pass into public control.
The taxation Of franchises is merely a
makeshift compromise"

Newburger opposing him mildly, leaving

Hogan" drawled out the clerk in the way
in which he usually calls defendant to

John Hogan is Dead" came from the
lawyers.
II don't care If he is,'' thundered Mr..
Osborn.
The lawyer explained that certificate
of the defendants death issued by the
board Of health was on hand and ready
to be filed.
The court ordered the case off the cal
endar, but Mr.. Osborn would not desist
until the district attorney received off,
cial proof that Hogan was really dead.

CAMPUS IN DANGER.
A Laboratory May BE Built in the
Middle of 1t.

Inc university desires to erect a new
building to be used as physical
laboratory, but there seems to be no suit
able location available. The campus is so
closely surrounded by electric lines and
railroads that Prof. Jones has been able
so far to discover but one location which
he considers practical. AS this is exactly
in the center of the campus it can not
be utilized without entirely destroying the
appearance of the university grounds.
Any other location, it is claimed. is rem
dered useless for scientific purposes be-
cause of the electric currents and the
proximity of the railroads.

WASHINGTON, April 2-The report

Such an act, a German diplomat said to-

vessel at Apia, while Great Britain has
two and the United States one The
suggestion was made in German official
circles some days ago that additional YES

that an extra supply of ammunition
would be embarked at Kiao Chou is sug-,

malicious invention.

the kind contained in the dispatch but
even If 1t were true, he said that he did
not attach any Importance to it.
