broken out afresh, and this time the
Spokesman-Review is lined up with
the Wilson men, who are behind the
municipal party movement The
Wilson men are endeavoring to Sc
cure the endorsement Of Acuff by the
republicans and prevent the nomi-
nation Of straight ticket.
The meeting Of the Roosevelt club
Saturday broke up in a row over the
proposed endorsement Of the munich
pal candidate and a number of warm
speeches were made on both sides
Action was postponed until tonight
when the question will be debated be-
fore the clubs full membership.
Candidates named by the municipal
party for councilmanic honors are
making haste to disavow connection
with that party. Messrs. McCrea,
Foster, Prescott. Lindsey and Hand
have all declared that their names
were used without consent.
Under the state laws candidates
can not appear on two tickets on the
printed ballots, so that those republi-
cans and democrats nominated by the
municipal party. If nominated also by
their respective parties, will have to
withdraw from one or the other OF
the parties. This withdrawal can be
made as late as two days previous
to election

DIR. BYRNE DECLARES
HIMSELF A CANDIDATE
Mayor is in the Race for Re-e|ectoniquor Dealers Hold
Meeting and Outline Plan for Citizens Ticket With
GLASGOW at the Head

7, Mayor p. 8. Byrne today formally
announced his candidacy for re-elec-
zion on the democratic ticket, and his
friends are bending every effort to-
wards capturing the democratic con-
Sention, which is scheduled for
April IA.
AS the result Of general meeting
held yesterday the liquor dealers, un-
der the leadership Of w. 8. Norman,
are also busy today with the avowed
purpose Of controlling the democratic
convention and preventing Byrne's
nomination. 1t Is their intention to
have the convention postpone action
and either adjourn without placing a
ticket in the field or to endorse a
ticket to be placed in the field by the
saloon element and called the "citi-
Gems ticket. If the latter program
Is carried out, Samuel Glasgow of
the Centennial mills will probably be
named for the mayoralty.
The leaders Of the saloon element
state that they have positive assur-
nnce from republican leaders that If
their efforts to prevent a democratic
nomination are successful, the repub-
licans will also endorse the citizens
ticket, and make no regular nomina-
tions, as the choice of man like
Glasgow will be entirely satisfactory

to the rank and file of the party.
To eliminate Byrne from the con-
test seems to be the object Of the
Commercial club, for II Byrne sue
ceeds in capturing the nomination
the liquor dealers admit they will
probably support him.
Their present actions are due to
the influence exerted by the Com
mercial club and the fear that
Byrne is too pronounced a friend Of
labor to win the united support Of
business men as an independent cam
didate would. They admit playing a
part in Acuff's nomination, and state
that overtures have been received
from the leaders Of the municipal
party looking towards an agreement
whereby certain concessions will be
granted saloon men in return for
their support.
A delegation from the trades coun-
ell waited upon Mayor Byrne this
afternoon. AS result Of. this con-
ference 1t is stated that even If the
mayor Is defeated for the democratic
nomination. he will still be organized
labor's candidate, upon an independ-
ent ticket. as labor leaders will not
consent to his being sidetracked.
All is not harmony in the republi-
can camp. The old fight between the
Wilson and anti-Wilson forces has

CHICAGO BOARD OF
TRADE IS SCORED

ST. LOUIS. April 6,-Terming its
transactions gambling and denying 1t
the right to resort to the courts of
equity, Judge Adams of the United
scored the Chicago board of trade In
an opinion handed down refusing the
board an injunction against local
firms for using its quotations.
Judge Adams says the question IL
30 tainted with immortality that It
precludes the board of trade from re-
sorting to court Of equity. The
quotations result from wagering on
the future price of grain and hog
products.

The trades council committee ap-
pointed to frame plans for the cree
ton of labor temple assembled yes
terday afternoon in the office of the
New Time. 1t was unanimously de-
cided that. the best way to proceed
was to incorporate Il company with
a capital Of $4,000, and that each
union be required to purchase GER
tain number of shares.
This scheme meets with general
approval and there is no doubt that
the trades council will endorse It at
its next session. None but labor
unions will be permitted to buy stock
The advisability of erecting tenn

A young ranchman living southeast
of the city met with a peculiar acct
dent while driving along Fifth ave-

ened by a passing Liberty Park car,
plunged violently, throwing itself
down and breaking the harness and
buggy.

the frightened animals bride. The
horse at the same moment made a
plunge, striking the young man a ter
rife blow with its head, which landed
him on his back half way across the

head from the blow but refused to
return to the city for medical atten-
ton. He declined to give the car

SMART & SILBERBERG,
OIL CITY, PA.


While,a fair was being held recently
IN small town in Belgium the owner
of a menagerie announced that one Of
the villagers. who was known to pos
sess great courage. would enter that
evening Il cage containing two lions
and would remain there fifteen min
uteS.
When this was nOised abroad, every
one determined to witness the novel
sight, and as result there were sew
eral hundred persons in front of the
lions cage when the performance be-
gan.
At a signal from the owner the cour-
ageous villager entered the cage and
stood watching the lions. They, how
ever, took not the slightest notice of
him, and after the fifteen minutes had
expired he left the cage. As he did so
e storm of Kisses greeted him, and the
next moment such an uproar arose
that the owner summoned the police
and the entertainment came to an end.
The fact was the people expected
that the lions would attack the vii
lager and they were disappointed be-
cause no blood had been shed.
Yet it is exceedingly probable says
n French writer. that if one of the
lions had escaped from the cage this
bloodthirsty crowd would have been
terrified almost to DEATH

1t may surprise some folks TO learn
that plenty of British laws have been
drawn up so carelessly and written in
such muddled language that they are
quite useless for their intended pur-
pose.
One of the acts passed in George
Ills reign. for instance states that
the proceeds Of penalties were TO be
given half to the informer and half to
the poor of the parish. The absurdity
lies in the fact that the only penalty
which could be inflicted was one Of
transportation for fourteen years.

a lot of amusement by proposing an
