KENNY WILL HIRE
 6 F0REMEN SOON
Nothing Doing in Appointment Line in Directors Department
 of Public Work.
MANY APPLY FOR FEW JOBS
If You Hire You Can Fire, But Appointments Are Permanent
 BerthS it Seems.

Director Of Public works M. A. Kenny will hire six or seven foremen for the summer, in a short time. There are 150 applications for the places and so much prominence has been given to them that they have taken on the more dignif1ed name of appoint ments" When the director passes through the corridor of the City Hall somebody says: MT. Director, when are you going to make your appoint ments?"
 He replied to one of his questioners yesterday t.rThe jobs pay B per day. 1 am thinking of making it $3.15 per day and calling them supervising sec retaryships."
 The director says that he will put the foremen to work soon, but not as appointments. for if any of them does not make good he will be released. Some of the foremen will be hired next Monday he said-
 For several weeks about 50 men daily have applied for positions at the city yard Asked what they want to do, the most of them reply that they want to be foremen.
 President Taft when in Bridgeport prior to the last election. said that the greatness of the American army was due to the fact that there was not a private in it who did not believe that it was only a force of circumstance that he was not a br1gadier general.
 Director Kenny. like President Taft. believes that he will have very efn- cient force this year for there will be a number of men working with shovel who will believe that 1t is only by force of circumstances they are not foremen.
 Last Saturday afternoon the director with the Mayor and City Engineer Mo- Kerna. visited State street between Fairfield avenue and Park avenue. and Fairfield avenue between Clinton ave- nue and State street, where the Mayor had previously arranged with the Con- necticut Co. for the repair of the road

$50 LIVES LOST, CAUGHT IN DANCE
 HALL FIRE TRAP
Especial from United Press.)

Mateszalka, Austria, March 2e.- Three hundred and fifty lives were needlessiy sacrificed in the fire in the dance haM at Oekoerito. a village of ], 200, according to the report today of authorities who investigated Sun- day nights tragedy.
 Had a panic not seized upon the 500 merry-makers that crowded the large coach-house that had been turned tenn porarily into a dance hall, all could have escaped. There was a large ex- it at one end of the hall through which all might have passed in safety had not the panic ensued. The authorities found that the door was nailed up af- ter the dance began but light nails were used and those who did finally break open the door declared that it yielded readily.
 The condition of the bodies of the victims shows what a frightfu1 fight took place before the roof of the build ing fell in and completed the flames havoc
 Many of the bodies bore knife fhrusts. On the faces of scores were the marks of the bootheels of those who trampled them down. while the bodies of some of the children were literally dismembered.
 The exact death roll has~not yet been determined, the latest estimate being $50. There were 500 people in the hall and not more than 150 escaped, many of these being frightfully burn ed. It would be impossible to count the dead from the number of bodies found ss the ruins have revealed piles of ch&4red fragments that do not in dicate accurately the number of dead.

JUSTICE BREWERS SUCCESSOR MAY
 BE A YALE MAN
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, March 2s.-"He was an able judge" This expression by Pres ident Taft when he heard of the sud- den death of Associate Justice David J. Brewer, is echoed today by all who knew the distinguished jurist:
 The entire capital was shocked over the news that Justice Brewer had suc- cumbed last night to a stroke of apo plexy. He had been slightly Ill for week but had not taken to his bed. He was stricken while in the bathroom of his home and died in ten minutes later. Coroner Nevitt today issued a certificate of death due to cerebral heTnorrhaEe.
 Justice Brewers death leaves but seven active members of the Supreme Court, Associate Justice Moody having been unable to serve since the begin ming of the present term on account second to be filled by President Taft who on December 20, last, appointed Justice Lurton to succeed Justice Peck ham also removed by death.
 At the time of Justice Peckham's s death it was the general understanding that the Presidents choice lay between Lurton and Lloyd W. Bowers, solici- tor general, and the prediction was freely made when Lurton's appoint ment was announced that Bowers would be selected to fill the next va cancy.. The solicitor general is a Yale man and the story is related that dur ing their college days while discuss ing their ambitions in life Bowers said to Taft, My chief ambition is some day to sit on the supreme court bench.'' whereupon Taft replied, Well if I am ever President, I'll fix 1t for
 whether the President is of the same mind today that he Is said to have been in last December regarding the any rate the matter will not be taken up till after Justice Brewers funeral.

Postal Savings Bank Microbe.

Whenever little furry like that
of last year occurs, or bank fails,
then the postal savings bank microbe
gets busy again, it advocates claim
ing this system makes all deposi-
tors perfectly safe. Whenever there
is great railroad accident do people
all decide to walk thereafter? Well,
hardly. OF the millions of people
carried annually by the railrods, but
a very small per cent are ever killed
or injured and Of the millions of
dollars cared for annually by the
banks the smallest fraction Of one
per cent is ever lost. When the
magnitude of the banking business is
considered the infinitesimal loss in
comparison is one of the wonders of
modern business and incidentally is
a monument to the sterling character
of the men who have our banking in
terests in charge. We doubt very
much if the two per cent interest
allowed by the government will
prove Satisfactory W OCpOSlIOiS dAu
as the government then has to
loan this money to the banks in
order to get out whole at the regu-
lar four per cent rate, the banks pay
anyway, the depositors simply
lose the two per cent and gain
nothing Every man has right to
put his own money where he pleases
and we don't care where he deposits
it so long as it is in this bank.

ANOTHER
CANDIDATE
FOR MAYOR.
N. Il. zUBfR IN THE RACE;
CONFIDENT Of ELECTION.
BIG MAN ANNOUNCES HIS Poll.
ciEs IN MAKING CAMPAIGN Fos
JOB AGAINST LITTLE SIMON
HEYMANN.

Simon Heymann, who is the only
Cne to SO far publicly announce his
candidac cy for the office of Mayor of
Daytona. will not have clear sailing
in his campaign to become the city's
chief executive. M. HI. Zuber is now
out with the declaration that he is a
candidate for the same job and Mr.
Zuber anticipates little difficulty in
landing the plum.
Mr. Zuber says he has been quietly
working among his friends for some
some and at this time the prospects
for his election to the position by
large majority are very bright
Mr.. Zuher has served four years as
record in that office entities him to
the support of the voters here in his
campaign to become Mayor. Also he
bellows the city ordinances should
be stlintly enforced in every particu-
lar, and, like Mr.. Heymann, believes
that violators of the ordinances
should be made to suffer the penal
ties called for, whther the applica-
ton of the law is made to hit an in
fluenti:.l or an unimportant person.
The proposition brought up at the
last meeting of the city council to
change the city charter so that the
city officer: shall include munich
pal Judge, whose duty shall he to try
all court cases now brought before
the Mayor, does not meet with the
approval of Mr.. Zuber, who says the
city is not ripe for any such charter
change He does not favor doing
away with the salary Of $400 per yea
now paid to the Mayor and will work
against any effort to cut off the pay
of the executive.
Mr.. Zuber says his campaign will
be made with the idea, if elected, to
see that the ordinances are strictly
enforced and to oppose any effort at
eharter revision to give the city a
municipal Judge and cut off the sal
cry paid the Mayor. He will aim to
give the city a good, business ad-
ministration and make Daytona ths
ideal place to hive.
