THOMSON DROPS
HENRY WARD FIGHT
Name Withdrawn From Contest
for Board of Police
Commissioners.
Commissioners.

E. B. Thomson will not be in the
contest for the police commissioners
ship from Henry Ward This will
leave the race, a very hot one, to the
incumbent, w. G. Duke, and former
Councilman Cliff We'll. The position is
to he filed by the present Council at
a joint session in July.
Adversely to his personal desires.
Mr.. Thomson permitted the use of
his name by his friends as an aspirant
for this position. His supporters, af-
ter looking over the situation care
fully, decided yesterday that the lines
had already been so closely drawn in
the race that it would be wise to with
draw Mr., Thomason's name. He has
many friends, but his active support
ers realized that the other aspirants
have been at work for a long time and
that for a year or more some of the
members of the Council and of the
Board of Aldermen have been pledged
! to support them.
Mr.. Thomson was highly indorset
/ by a strong business following.

JAM OR S WIN
. FIGHT WITH BECK
Grounds and Buildings Com
mittee Overrides Building In
spector on Two Counts.

With Councilman Don Leavy and
Alderman Spence taking sides with the
janitors, and Councilman j. r. Tucker
backing Building Inspector Beck the
Council Committee ON Grounds and
Buildings last night decided to accept
the recommendation OF the. subcom-
mittee allowing the demands of the
employees of the City Hall rather than
those of the inspector, who was placed
in charge of tile building by action
of the committee. According TO the
report of the subcommittee. the In
spector is requested to arrange the
work of the janitors so that they can
take all legal holidays with pay. Mr.
Beck's ruling was that the men should
be paid per diem and dpcked for all
versed in the case of 5. b. j. Wright,
one OF the janitors who had been sick
for nearly two weeks, and who APP
piled for pay to tho amount OF sle.2i'

mittee in backing up his position He
said that he had been custodian OF the
building BY action OF the committee

thought proper without any interior
ence on the part of the committee. bu,
If this We're not the case, he asked
that he be relieved of the response

and that II be placed in other hands.
He reminded the members that they
we're taking from hin, the power that
had been delegated 10 him when he
had been placed in charge
Tucker Defends Beck.
Councilman Tucker took the floor In
Mr.. Beck's behalf, saying that the com
mlttee was making him Responsible for
work that he was not allowed TO man

Madison Ward Slate Sent Out &c
Voters at Eleventh
Hour.
PRIMARY ELECTION TODAY
City to Select Thirty-five Com.
mon Councilmen and Twelve
Aldermen.

While several vigorous contests for
seats in the Board of Aldermen and
in the Common council have been
waged, it is not expected that to-
DAYS Democratic primary election will
be conspicuous for exciting features.
Probably a fair-sized vote Will be
polled. since the many candidates will
see to it that their trends get to the
precincts so far as they can be per-
suaded to vote
This feature, 1t is believed, will pre-
vent the success of any move looking
to small vote. with the result of an
independent ticket Voters who might
really favor the independents program
are likely to be induced by friendships
to cast their ballots.
Arrangements fer polling places and
for officers of election have been fully
made by the Democratic City Commit
tee. and at 6 o'clock this morning
every precinct will be ready for busi-
ness. 1t should not take long time
to count the votes anywhere The
polls will close at o'clock tonight
and within a short time thereafter the
returns will begin to come In to the
City Committee, which Will meet tt
receive them in room over Vaden's
| on North Seventh street.
Issues have been scarce In the cam
! paign which has just closed The can
didates for the most part have dc
clared themselves for public improve
| ments. and some attention has peel
paid to wharf facilities on the Jane
River. This was noticeable esr.eciall,
among the candidates In Marshal
Ward The East End aspirants ais
felt rather deeply on the subject o
street railway franchises. eSpressin
themselves as unalterably opposed t
any increase in the rate of fares o
to any curtailment of transfer privi
| lcgeS.
Individual records have receive
moro or less attention. Some of til
candidates have been attacked on TIL
score, and have defended themselves
TO some extent effectively.
i AS TO the result, there can be fey
correct predictions until the votes ar
! counted. A noticeable feature ha
been the SCATTERING of so-called slate
which a week ago seemed pretty sur
OF victory. Indications are that
most of the wards the race Is exceed
ingly close, and it may take the off
cial count to determine the exact nc
suit, since only a vote or two ma
make the difference between succeS
} and defeat.

One very much needed feature now lacking at the
Ohio street location playrooms and Fairgrounds, will
be amply provided at the new home. The boys will
have big playroom connecting directly with their
playground, the girls will have similar room and
ground. These will be fenced, and the effect Of the
enlarged opportunity for play is expected to be very
good The boys and girls of school age attend classes
at the public school nearest the institute so that at
whatever they adopted they will be found up
