stano ready 10 bury the Cranudll reho-
luton as soon as II appears and that
they have banded together with this
object in view. Just who among the
cOuncilmen make up this little group

Political Pot Boiling
The announcement of DIR. Sherry's
probable candidacy for the nomination
for state senator TO succeed Ben w.
Hahn appears to have set the political
pot to boiling furlously. Several gem
tlernen who we're supposed to be per-
fectly conversant with the political
signs were prompt IN saying that the
announcement finally disposed of what,
ever claim upon the nomination was
held by that popular young attorney,
Elm l. Moody, and they proceeded TO
endow him with a ready-made boom
for state assemblyman to succeed J. A.
Goodrich, who is known to have been
llesitating for some time whether TO
run for another term in that ONCE or
not. But Mr.. Moody has another idea
of the affair and Indignantly refuses
to be sidetracked. lie announces that
he is in the race for the state sena-
torship to the finish, and whether he
wins or loses will not try for anything
else. on the other hand Assemblyman
Goodrich is induced by the announce
ment of DIR. Sherry's ambition to make
public his determination not to seek
another term. SO with Moody and
Goodrich both out of the race the pol
iticians are again figuring.
Puzzle: Find Durham
In spite Of the denials made by the
authorities at the Hotel Green 1t is
generally believed that Israel w. Dur
ham. the Philadelphia ex-boss, is still
domiciled in secluded apartments of
that big caravansary. A letter was
taken to the hotel today by an A. d. T.
messenger for delivery to the much
wanted gentleman. The boy was in
structed by the sender to wait for a
reply. The letter disappeared when
given to the clerk at the hotel, but
no reply came for the messenger, al
though he fingered about the hotel
desk for an hour.
The physician who is reputed to be
attending Mr.. Durham is not as COM
municative as he was when he asserted
that his patient is suffering from moth
ing more serious than the grip. He
now begs to be excused when qres.
toned as to whether the trouble is bet
ter or worse.
Mr.. Durham's mail is still delivered
at the Hotel Green, but whether it Is
forwarded by the hotel people to some
other city or some other hotel or sim
ply taken to Mr.. Durham's room and
delivered in person, nobobdy Knows, or
knowing, tells.

The method seems to be a favorite one
w. w. Freeman is installing the
Foster red light signal system for the
use of his private detective and pa
troll service in this city. In connec-
ton with the Home Telephone sys-
tenn it provides a practical method Of
communicating Immediately with one
or all of the men on patrol during the
night, so that one or all can be notified
of disturbance wherever or whenever
reported. The contrivance is expected
to add immensely to the city's excellent
