YOUNT SUCCEEDS ELLIOTT
HE WILL BE REPUBLICAN CANDI-
DATE FOR CITY CLERK.
AppOintee Is BOOkkeeper at Columbia
Club, Civil War Veteran and
Scottish Rite Mason.

Thomas j. Yount who has been book
keeper at the Columbia Club for about two
years, has been named by Chairman Edwin
d. Logsdon and the members of the Repub-
lican city committee to succeed Charles N.
Elliott on the municipal ticket candidate
for city clerk. The announcement was
made formally by Mr.. Logsdon last night.
1t is understood that the choice was made
without any solicitation by Mr.. Yount. AL
though an active party man he had not
been considered as a probability. The an
nouncement, however, is received favorably
on all sides among Republicans, and the
belief is that Mr.. Yount will be an element
of strength to the ticket. Mr.. Logsdon did
not care to be interviewed on the matter,
simply saying that the members of the city
committee had canvaSSed the situation
carefully and had been embarrassed only
because there were so many good men TO
choose FROM Mr.. Yount, he says, is a Re-
publican of the best type, a man of ability.
an expert accountant, well known and well
liked everywhere.
For number of years MIR. Yount has
been active in politics in the Second ward.
He has never sought office and has not
hunted any political faVors. He is a civil
war veteran and an officer of the Scottish
Rite MasOns. Mr.. YOunt lives at 173S Belle
fontaine street.

While this investigation was not conducted
with any special end in view, there is a nat
ural satisfaction in lineage which includes
so strenuous a parsonage and such a lover
of liberty as Robert Bruce. the real interest
and value of such record not being in the
mere names but in the character and per-
sonality of the progenitors. incidentally, it
may be said that the part of any lineage
which includes British royalty or nobility
is one of the easiest to secure, since it is all
a matter of official record. the lines leading
back to it being the ones involving most
research.

Although report was circulated that the
directors of the Commercial Club would
meet to-day to consider further the petit

city, Secretary Hoover said last night that
although he had thought something of issu-

would be no meeting to-day. A great many

STATUS OF TRACTION LINES.
Decision I'm Pending Suit Awaited
with Interest by All Roads.

Indiana traction lines and electric roads
all over the country are interested in the
suit for damages and injunction brought
by Mrs. Lottie Kinsey against the Union
Traction Company. The legal fight is being
waged by College avenue property owners
in Mrs. Kinseys name. The suit is ex-
pected to definitely fix the status of trac-
ton roads. If the courts of final appeal
hold that these roads are commercial, it is
said the decision will have most impor-
tant bearing on the industry.
Should the final decision be against the
Union Traction Company it is declared that
this company, as we'll as other interurban
roads, would have to provide itself with
avenues of entry into Indiana cities such as
railroads are compelled To use. Traction
lines in the East, it is said, are seeking in
formation about the suit.
The matter will undoubtedly be carried to
the highest courts. The Union Traction
Company, it is stated, will take that step
in the event lower court decision is
against it. and other roads may be ex-
pected to back up the company directly in

NEWS OF UNION LABOR.

The Labor Temple committee has been
attempting to hold meeting lately to make
an inventory of its work, but luck has been
against them. The members were to have
met Sunday morning in the Union Office.
but the meeting was declared off on account
of a number of the members being unable
to attend. Another effort was made to get
to work on the books last night but the
members did not appear and the meeting
has been postponed indefinitely. Edward
Perkins, president of the committee, says
he has been waiting for the meeting and
now that the members have failed to re-
spond TO the call, they will have to await
his convenience.
The committee has arranged for the rattle
of the house at lrvington on Labor day
and this will be one feature of the day.
Although the great expectations of the COM
mittee of clearing "A mice lump sum" on
the venture have been abandoned, the sale
of tickets during the past few weeks has
been better and il hopes to clear at least
two hundred dollars.
Secretary Frank Duffy, of the Carpenters
Brotherhood. who has been deluged with
invitations to deliver Labor day addresses
at different cities throughout the country,
has decided to speak on that day at Chi
cago. Although there are several places
where Mr.. Duffy would like to address the
union men, he is held to Chicago by a
promise made two years ago. 1t is prob
able that both Mr.. Duffy and MIR. Huber,
president of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, will be speakers
of honor at the Labor day celebrations in
Chicago.

NOTABLE FAMILY TREE.


The extension Of the patriotic societies
has given a great stimulus TO genealogical
research. Previous to the establishing of
the orders of the Sons and Daughters of the
Revolution and kindred organizations, it
was the exceptional American family that
possessed a written and authentic record
of ancestry. Even family Bibles. in whose
pages prepared for the purpose. births. mar
riages and deaths were once religiousy
entered. came to be neglected, and vast
number of families knew their pedigree
only through vague tradition. The neces-
sty of proving descent from revolutionary
or colonial ancestors in order TO secure adj
mission to the patriotic societies led TO a
change in this matter. and to a curiosity
concerning forbears resulting in much in
dividual investigation independent of inter-
est in the societies.
So extensive has this desire for definite
information concerning family descent be-
come that many persons, especially in East
ern cities, where records documents and
annals are most easily reached, are engaged

wal" FAHRBACK DEAD.
Well-knOwn Saloon Man Passes Away
After a short Illness

Valentine Fahrbach, better known to his
large circle of friends as VAL" died sud-
denly at the Deaconess Hospital yesterday
afternoon of pneumonia after a short ILL
ness. He was a prominent Elk and was
also member of the Knights of Fidelity.
His father. Philip Fahrbach, was one of
the pioneer saloon men of the city and at
one time part owner of the Old Metropolitan
Theater.
For some time 'Val' Fahrbach owned
and operated the Kneipe saloon on Vir-
GINA avenue. He had presided at most of
the well-known downtown bars and was
popular with the customers. He tended bar
at the Denison for four years. He was also
employed at the Bismark, kiey's place
on Pearl street, and the old Bates House
bar. He was widower and lived with his
sister at Ills North Senate avenue.

Candidates before the recent Democratic
city convention filed expense accounts with
the CITY tclerk yesterday. James Berry, who
ran second to Moriarity in the council
manic race, swears his contest cost him $65.
The items are as follows: Printing tickets,
$3.50; printing cards. $3.50; cigars, s12; re-
freshments, SO; peddling tickets, SIG; total,
$65
William Foor declares his canvass cost
him nothing in the Sixth ward race. G. IL.
Warweg's statement follows: Newspaper
cards, 81; cigars, sl2; total, $33.
An interesting point has risen as to
whether James f. Mccullough and William
+. Moore, who were candidates for mayor
until the morning of the convention, when
they withdrew, can be compelled to file ex-
pense accounts. So far neither has done so.
In the strict sense of the word they were
not voted for at the primaries.
