President Merrill Will Not
Speak of Probable Attitude
Till Investigation Is Entire
Iy Completed.
HOPES ENTERTAINED
FOR VINDICATION.
Is Probable That Council Will
Call for an Election That
Voters of the City May De-
eide Question of Sale.

President Merrill. of the board Of
public works, in response to a question
as to what attitude the board would
take in regards to the proposed sale of
the municipal light plant to the Light.
Heat and Power company, said that
the board would have nothing to say
on this point until the report of the
board, and the council investigating
committee was made to council at it's
next meeting.
1t seems to be the opinion of the
city administration. that the municipal
light plant should be retained. How
ever, members of the board are busy
sounding citizens to gain their opin-
ions on the question and if public opin-
ion seems to favor the sale of the plant
the board will probably wheel into
line.
There is no doubt but that the prop
osition of the Light, Heat and Power
company's proposition to defray the
expense of having a corps of experts
examine into the condition of the mu-
nicipal plant, will be accepted by the
city. Members of the board are salts
fled that the result of such an investi-
CATION, will be a vindication of the
boards recent statement to council,
that the plant was profitable invest
ment for the city Of Richmond.
The sale of the municipal plant
hinges entirely on the result Of the
proposed investigation by experts. If
these experts discover that the plant
is a losing venture, council will at once
put it up to the people-shall or shall
not the municipal plant be sold.
This will be done by council passing
a resolution ordering a general cleo
ton. If the majority of the citizens,
municipal plant. this action will be
followed, but not until council has Sc
cured an iron bound contract from the
Light, Heat and Power company, guar
anteeing the same low rates for cleo
trio lighting and power. which the cit
liens of Richmond now enjoy
1t is probable that in case council at
its next meeting authorizes an inspec-
tion of the municipal plant it will be
at least a month or six weeks before
this inspection is completed. In the
event the report calls for a general
election. it is probable that such an
j election would not be held until some
time in February

Cohen was shot twice through the

New York, Dec. 6.-Somewhere in q

his death Shay gave his daughter the
key to the safe deposit box and told
her the bonds in it were for her and

Shay died so suddenly that there
was no opportunity to ask him where

MANY FAVORlTE SONS
WILL MAKE THE RACE.
PRESIDENTIAL BOOMS KEEPING
WASHINGTON VERY NOISY
AT PRESENT

Washington, Dec 6.-With the for
NAL launching of the Knox boom there
are today five favorite sons for the re-
publican party to draw to.
With the towering figure of Roose-
welt in the background and still to be
reckoned with, the G. o. +. may really
claim half a dozen. AS all the other
candidates are in deadly terror Of
Roosevelt taking the trick. he might
be called the joker of the pack. What
the Joker" will decide to do, whether
he will stick by Taft or throw his
strength to a stronger candidate, Il
the war minister's boom begins 10
wane, or whether he will in the end
bow to the large popular demand and
run once more for the presidency, are
problems that are worrying each OF
the crowd of favorite sons more than
his fear of any others candidacy.
The Taft boom has strengthened TO
some extent within the last forty-eight
hours by the appearance on the scene
of Arthur l Vorys, the Taft campaign
manager. Vorys had a long confer
ence with the president at the white
house yesterday. and when it was over

short time ago bevy of pretty
"co-eds' at Earlham, inspired with the
idea Of really accomplishing some
thing for humanity put their wits
together to devise scheme" What

mount issue. "I'm tired of feeds all

but fudge, fudge, fudge all the time"
That's just what I think about it."
said another girl, with toss of her

Let me make a suggestion" said
one of the girls who had thus far
been only an auditor to the confer
ence, that We do something in the
way of charity, which would be most
appropriate for the approaching
Christmas season. "Goody!" cried all
of the girls with one accord, that's
just the thing" But how shall it
be done?" said the first speaker

Really now. girls, I'm in earnest
about this matter" said the one who
had first suggested charity, and
move that We have a conference with
Mrs Elizabeth Gambler of the Asso
ciated Charities and arrange to dress
some dolls within the next few days
and then have them distributed
among the poor little children that
otherwise might not get much for
Christmas. for it would be such fun
to dress the darling little things,-l
mean the dolls 'Glorious!" criet
all and the great humanitarian cam
paign had been launched.
The conference with Mrs. Gambler
was held a few nights ago and now
the Aladdin lamp Of knowledge has
be en- turned into a lamp for midnight
oil, about which the Earlham girls
work until the wee hours of the night
on dainty doll frills. 1t has been de
cided to have a large Christmas tree
on Saturday, Dec. IA, at the girls dor
mitory, on which will be placed the
dolls, and forty or fifty children from
the city under the chaperoning OF
Mrs. Gambler, will be invited to spend
portion of the afternoon as guests
of the "co-eds.'
Mrs. Gambler suggested that the
boys Of the college be permitted tC
assist in the making of preparations
but she was informed that already
several boys had volunteered to as
sist in making the doll dresses but
that it was feared the boys would be
more interested in the girls than the
dolls" so a ban was placed on the
boys Of the institution.

The body of Chester Silent, stu dent at Stanford University, and son of Judge Charles Silent of Los Ange- les. was found in lake three miles back of the college a few days ago. He had been missing a number of days. Part of his head had been blown off, evidently with a shotgun, as bird shot were found in the cavity of the head. An overturned boat was found some distance away. It has not vet been ascertained whether death was due to accident, suicide or mur- der, although all the circumstances point strongly to suicide. The father, Judge Charles Silent, was at one time Chief Justice of this territory and was in the old Fourth Judicial district which embraced Apache, Yavapai and Mohaye counties.

Year after year Sanford B. Ricaby has strengthened his singing party with the Wm. H. West Big Jubilee Minstrels, he recognizing the fact that singing is the sheet anchor Of mln- strelsy, since the days of Homer when the wandering minstrel played his flute, and sang the songs that chron- icled the events of the day to gaping multitudes. The song of the minstrel has fascinated the world. The human voice has more charm than any me- chanical musical instrument ever con- trived: chorus of twenty trained male voices support the twelve eminent soloists in the grand musical program offered by the Wm.
