WHAT DOES The
MAYOR DESIRE?
CANNOT LOCATE MIR,
HAYNES AMBITIONS.
Leaders Think He Has Little Chance
of Securing the GubernatoriaI
NOminatiOn-Is Not Wanted in
Congressional Race, but May Ask
for a Second Term.

What is Mayor Haynes going to do?
Will he ask for another term, will he
try for congress, or does he desire to
enter the gubernatorial fight?
This question is being widely dis
cussed in democratic circles The
general opinion seems to be that
Haynes has no chance for the nomi-
nation for governor, that he will find
his party managers do not want him
for congressional candidate, and
that he will finally decide to try for
another term. Even this depends on
whether the mayor is successful in
getting his private secretary, George
Douglas, elected chairman Of the
county democratic committee, or
whether w. H. Williams, leader Of
the Hearst faction, becomes the execu-
tive officer. In the latter event,
Haynes; would probably get but little
aid from the committee chairman or
the executive committee he would APP
point.
A faction of the democrats opposed
to Haynes serving another term
would like to have julius Heinrich be-
come the democratic nominee for
mayor, but that gentleman seems re-
luctant, not to say refractory.
Among the republicans John
schlener and Coroner U. G.. Williams
are the only active candidates. Each
has friends at work in nearly every
ward. Each seems to be trying to
build UP an organization before: the
other is: aware Of whats doing.'' ,
Republicans in some circles are
talking Of running E. H. Chandler,
president Of the Third Ward Repub-
lican club, for mayor. Others still
propose the name Of David P. Jones'.

one LONE PUPIL
WADES TO SCHOOL.
BASS LAKE WANTS NEW DIS
TRICT SCHOOL, SITE.
The Building Now Stands In a Hole,
Which Is Flooded in Wet Weather
Its Location Forced One Saloon
Man to Move Out, to Another's Adj
vantage.

. Bass Lake school, district 1913, is
in hole. When it rains, the yard
IS marsh and the building is to be
reached only by wading. The stills
nave rotted from the damp and the
little building has settled.
residents of the district laid these
facts before the state board of health
To-Day, requesting that the board
oider the school to a new location.
II was SHOWN that last winter, when
the ground was frozen and passable,
there were some fifty pupils in the
school. With the thaw, the building
was surrounded by water and the at
tendance dropped to one lone boy,
VINO went barefooted and could thus
reach the building. Y&
Charges made regarding the locat-
ing OF the present building suggest
new use for educational institutions.
In the town or Bass Lake were two
saloons. One was owned by an in
t1uential man in politics; the oppo-
sltlon drink dispensary by a some
what unsophisticated foreigner. When
the new school district was created,
it was alleged, the influential saloon
man was IN position to dictate the
location. and the building was placed
where the intersection of two filled
roads made regular sinkhole.
Strangely enough, it was soon dis
covered that the opposition saloon
was within the 1,50O-foot limit of the
new school and the proprietor was
forced to get out. ..~. 49,.
There is much feeling in the dis
trlct over What is considered by some
to be an unWarranted manipulation.
There is said to- be an abundance of
Well-drained school sites available in
the immediate vicinity. f.. ~

BOYS TORTURE A DOG
YOUNG DEGENER ATES DE
TECTED BY HUMANE, AGENT
BY OUTRUNNING OFFICER.

One 22-caliber rifle, one strong
rope, one dull katie and one heavy
club were the weapons with which
two North Minneapolis youths, resid-
ing in the vicinity of Plymouth and
Thomas avenues, set out to kill a stray
dog that had been foraging about the
garbage cans at their homes. Instead
Of killing the dog, it was only by their
fleetness that they escaped arrest by
Humane Agent j. M. Adams.
The boys took the dog to a vacant
lot and tied the rope about his neck,
around his nose and thru his m outh
so that he could not bite. Stepping
off a short distance they began shoot
ing at the dog. Altho they exhausted
all their ammunition none Of the bull
let's struck a vital spot. They then
took the knife and tried to cut the
dogs throat, but the knife was too
dull to penetrate. Selling a heavy
club, they attempted to beat out the
dogs brains. The appearance of Agent
Adams frightened them off, leaving
the dog bowling on the ground. Agent
Adams quickly killed the dog, and
altho he searched the neighborhood
thoroly, he was unable to learn the
identity Of the boys.
