Superintendent Gordon Told
to Get Busy Today by Pres
ident Homer Hammond of
the Board of Works.
LACK OF LABORERS
THE EXCUSE GIVEN
Councilmen Say if Company
Thinks They Are Joking
on Franchise Revelation,
1t Will Awake.

The dilatory tactics OF the street
and interurban company do not NEE,
with the approval of the city officials
and this morning when Supt Gordon
local representative of the T. H., &
Z. Traction company stopped at the
city building for consultation with
President Hammond, of the board OF
works, he was given official warning
that the company must prepare tc
comply to the letter with the provis
ions of it's franchise.
Six weeks ago the franchise of the
traction company was revoked by
council and the company given ninety
days in which to make needed i'm
provements to its system.
Mr. Gordon stated that lack of labor
ers to carry on the work was the
cause of the small amount of work
done up to the present time. Heavy
rails are being laid on South West
Third street, the National Road, west
and on East Main street for two
squares. Heavy rails are to be laid on
South Eighth street from A to H
street, and on North Eighth from A
to E street, stated Gordon, who also
said this work would be the next TAX
en- up by the company.
The negligence of the company in
not keeping the tracks and the road
way between the tracks in repair,
which was the principal cause of com.
plant against the company, was dis.
pleasing to the board. Hammond said
Gordon replied that this work would
be taken care of just as soon as the
company could secure the men to do
the work. ~z- ...~-
Poles Being Painted.
Two men are now at work painting
quired by the ordinance. However
Hammond explained that the citizens
did not ride the poles, and consequent
ly did not derive much comfort out oi
this improvement.
The total absence of modern cars
was also called to the attention OF
Gordon, and he said he would do the
best he could which from past exper
ience is taken to mean nothing.
Council has complained repeatedly
about the apparent lack of interest OF
the company in retaining its franchise
by making improvements called for by
it's franchise, and the councilmen say
that unless the company obeys orders
it will have to discontinue business in
this city.
IF the company thinks councils &C
tion was bluff" said one councilman
today, "it will realize to its sorrow
that it was greatly mistaken. No cal
service at all is better than what We
now have"

THIEVES TAKE JOY
RIDE IN MACHINE
Borrow" DR.. Stevenson's S
Car, Ride II Miles, and
Then Abandon 1t.

Four joy riders had a jolly time
rowed" from in front of the East
Main Street Friends church, while
the owner, DR.. David Stevenson, was
inside. The quartet drove the car a
distance of II miles, shown by the
spedometer, and after using up all
the gasoline in the tank, left the car
in the driveway at the Richard Sedg-
wick home, west of the city, near mid
night. The unknown thieves then left
the car, hurried away and have not
been seen since.
DR.. Stevenson stopped his car in
front of the church at O'Clock, and
went inside. His car was seen stand
ing in front of the church at $50.
Then it disappeared.
The next seen of the car was when
it stopped at the Sedgwick home on
West Fifth street Footsteps at that
place indicated four people had been
in the machine
The car was found this morning by
Mr.. Sedgwick, the gasoline tank
empty, but the machine had not been
damaged
The police have very few clues to
work on, and il is probable the JOY
riders will never be brought to ac-
count

CAUCUS WAS HELLO
BY BOSSES TO-DAY
They Want to Have a Harm
less Candidate that They
Can Always Control.
BY CARL MOTE.

BALTIMORE, June 27.-Before the
Democratic national convention recon
venes to nominate a candidate for
president at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Thomas F. Ryan, Charles F. Murphy.
Roger Sullivan, Thomas Taggart and
Steven B. Flemming will have held a
caucus to settle the fate of the Demo
cratic party.
The caucus was TO have been held
this forenoon but no one of the quin-
tette could be found and it is not
known where the caucus will be held
New York was suggested as the prob
able meeting place, but the late ad-
scurnment this morning may have
made change in the plans. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to pass on as
sets and liabilities for a president who
will be mutually satisfactory and as
suredly harmless
Taggart and Fleming We're TO insist
that Governor Marshall was just that
sort of a man, while Sullivan, Ryan
and Murphy were to appear in the role
OF listeners. A deadlock seems inevia-
able.
The story leaked out last night that
scattering vote from reactionary del
eeations would be cast for Marshall
for several ballots and then, according
~ the plans, the vote was to drop on
70 his irfginal 80. In this way, it was
said, Marshall could be sneaked out of
the race and Kern entered for the
sweepstakes.
The plan looks good except that the
governor may fail to fall in with the
project at the psychological moment
and the obstacle of an instructed dele
cation will be just as formidable as
Low.

Newbold might have answered that
there was one subject which had been

occasion and to which she had never
again referred. but which was to him
the most important of all subjects con-
nected with her; and that was the ma

that he must confess his affections.
