CANDIDATES FOR SUPERVISORS
Whatever differences of opinion there
may be about the successful candidates
for the executive, administrative and
judiciary nominations, there is COM
paratively little about the legislative
nominations. None pretends to believe
that the superVisorial slate Endorsed
by the businessmen's committee will
be ratified by the republican voters.
The politicians who got some of the
supervisorial insists on the business
mems slate are unwilling to admit
their responsibility, and neither Sulli-
vans regulars" on the county COM
mittee nor the members of the bust
nessmen's committee will admit that
they are exerting themselves for the
outfit. which one prominent politician
describes as a combination of contem-
plated felonies" That the republican
voters will repudiate the -cormorants''
Endorsed by the independent repub-
licans. is generally conceded.
THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT
The democratic fight is a three cor
nered struggle for the bourbon nominal
ton for mayor. Edward r. Rock, who
is going it alone. and Ralph McLeran,
who has the Endorsement of the anti
McNab organization. have made vigor-
Gus stump campaigns and declare them
selves almost nightly from the same
platforms. DR.. T. b. w. Leland, Nc

lodging house at 1850 Stockton street
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
An hour later a shot was heard. The
police were notified and Sergeant
Christensen and Policemen O'Connor,
Handley and Edwards forced the door.
They found the young man lying on
the floor with a bullet wound in his
right cheek and a revolver clutched in
his hand. The young man was re-
moved to the harbor hospital.

KIDNAPPED WOMAN FAILS
TO APPEAR IN COURT
Case of Giuseppi Gieio Is Con-
tinued Until Friday

When the case of Giuseppe Gieio
charged with kidnapping Mrs Mary
Ransadore of San Jose and compelling
her under fear Of death to remain in his
shack at 2S2 Precita avenue for sew
eral weeks, was called in Police Judge
Conlan's court yesterday morning there
was no complaint on file and a continu-
ance was ordered until Friday.
Mrs Rancadore did not keen her
promise to the police and swear to a
complaint against Gieio. and it was
rumored that she had disappeared from
her home rather than face the ordeal
of appearing to prosecute him.
Gieio has so terrorized the woman
and her husband that it would be no
surprise to the police if the case against
him were dismissed for lack of prose-
cution.

RATS IN GEOLOGICAL PARK.
Will Soon Have Separate House for
Big Collection.

The Geological Garden, in Tie Bronx. Is
constantly adding to its collection OF ro-
dents. and Il is expected that when the
collection is complete IL will be a great
aid in the study OF these little animals
In speaking Of the rodent family. Ray
mond L. Ditmars. curator OF reptiles In
the Geological Garden. said:
The rodent family includes some OF the
most destructive and vicious animals
known. Only Of late the acquisition OF g
'ale-tooth' rat from Mexico has shown
what some OF these little animals are ca
Fable OF doing. This one. in particular,
has been able 10 gnsw its way out OF three
wire mesh cages.
Although the collection here is a large
one. IL is only lately that any amount OF
serious attention has been given TO II by
visitors. After We have built a separate
house for the little animals II will be as
popular as the one that houses the rep
tiles.
During the last week several kangaroo
rats from Egypt have arrived az the park.
These are milk white in color, and can run
so speedily on their hind legs that the
other animals look at them IN wonder.
IL is the intention Of Mr.. Hornadsy. di-
rector OF the Geological Park. 10 erect a
separate house for the rodents when the
collection has esched a total OF twelve
hundred. II Will then be the finest collec-
riOr in the world
