In cOnneNiOn with the case of Mary

Juror IS LIKELY
Appeal From Action of County
Commissioners Will Go
To Circuit Court.
WASHINGTON TIP. CASE.

An appeal from the action of the
court of the county commissioners in
granting the petition Of number Of
the residents of Washington township
for the construction of a free gravel
turnpike. will be taken to the circuit
court. The commissioners have no re-
course under the law other than order
the construction of a road, when the
petition complies with the law. The
petition now On file did this in every
detail, it is claimed by those who are
promoting the project. The opponents
will base their claim for an appeal. up
on the assertion that some of the sign
ers to the petition are not resident free
holders in Washington township.
The opponents Of the road are has
ing their attitude upon an interpreted
ton Of the law provided by attorneys
they have retained. The matter, which
at first promised to go through with
out any opposition now bids fair to
create one of the largest Jurors that
has stirred a township in this county
in many years. The entire township
would have to bear the tax for the
cost Of the road construction and it
is claimed only about one dozen fam
lilies would derive any benefit from
the road.

State Democratic Chairman
Says He Thinks Local Man
Would Be Elected to Con-
gress From This District.
FRIENDS DESIRE TO
SEE KUHN RUN.
Minister States That He Has
Given the Proposition No
Consideration, Whatever
His Chances.

When asked today regarding an in
teryiew. with Stokes Jackson as to the
probability of his candidacy for con-
gress, the Rev T. II. Kuhn, of this city
stated he has given the proposition no
consideration.
It is known friends of the candidate
for governor have importuned him to
continue in the political field and try
again for the congressional plum in the
Sixth district. Whether or not he
will entertain the proposition is un-
known. even to Mr.. Kuhn. Mr. Kuhn
was the last opponent of James E.
Watson, the republican candidate in
this district. and the number of votes
polled by him marked him as a strong
candidate
Stokes Jackson, of Greenfield, demo-
cratic state chairman, is one o fthe
most influential democrats who thinks
well of Mr.. Kuhn as congressional tim
Der, and it is his opinion that the
preacher politician could be elected to
the national legislative body next fall
if the democrats of the Sixth should
see fit to nominate him.
Mr.. Kuhn is an excellent campaign
err said Mr.. Jackson yesterday, when
he was asked his opinion of the Kuhn
congressional boom, and | believe he
could be elected in the Sixth this year.
He made an unusually strong race
against Mr.. Watson the last time the
latter was elected. and the experience
he gained from his recent race for the
nomination for governor would make
him still more able to put up a hard
fight for seat in congress-
One of the strongest points in Mr..
Kuhn's favor is that he is absolutely
clean politically. He is one of the best
campaigners in the state and wherever
he goes he makes friends. OF course he
is well known all over the Sixth dis
trict, and the fact that he received
20, go votes to % ,135 for Mr.. Watson
in the last race proves that he is popu-
lar with the people.
The democrats of the Sixth district
were HlCu disappointed IudL MI. NUM-
failed to get the nomination for COVER
nor, although they are heartily for Mr..
Marshall-and they don't want Mr..
Kuhn to get out of politics altogether.
Il don't know what Mr.. kuhn's atti-
tude will be toward this suggestion
that he become a candidate for the
nomination for congress. haven't
seen him since the talk started. But
I do believe the people of the Sixth dis
trict will make every effort to get him
into the race"
The date for the Sixth district dem
ocratic congressional convention has
not been named.

FOR RICHMOND NEXT YEAR.

Game Last Evening.

Empires !, CreSCentS =.
Last night the curtain dropped on
the City Polo league, the last game Of
the season being played by the EN-
pires and Crescents, resulting in Il 4 to
j victory for the former team. The
result of this game tied the Crescents
and Greeks for second place. The
Kibbeys, by playing fast, consistent po-
10 from start to finish won the cham
pionship in a common canter. leading
their nearest opponents by ODD points.
Between the Crescents, Greeks and
Empires for the past four or five weeks
1t has been a nip and tuck fight for
second place and when the gong sound
ed the close of the race last night, a
blanket could have been spread over
these three contestants. The Beall-
view team got away bad and were al
most out of the running before they
struck their stride. The last two
weeks this team has been playing good
polo as shown by the fact that last
Wednesday evening they took the Kib-
beys in a ; to 4game. Had the sea
son lasted three or four weeks longer
the southenders would have been we'll
up in the running.
SO successful has the city league
been this season that it is an assured
fact that the league will be re-Organiz-
ed again next fall with six instead OF
five teams in the field. In the Sunday
issue Of the Palladium an all-star city
league team will be picked. Before
the league game last night the Greeks
and the Beallviews played an exhibit
ton game, the former winning to 1.
This game was well played an interest
ing to the big crowd
