Anybody who can answer the fore
going and qualify can have the Job. If
nobody applies the present incumbent
will hold over. Just now, being weary
from an unavailing assault on Massa-

liam H. Taft, has gone to Georgia to re-
cuperate
While he is gone is a good time 70

consideration Of asking him to with
draw from the race, and only the fact
that there is no other dark horse in the
paddock saves his managers the en-
barrassing necessity Of doing So
Primaries Tsft's Doom.
Direct primaries have done for Mr.
Taft. His managers were bullied into
accepting them by Roosevelt They
fought them in Massachusetts, Illinois,
Maryland and Michigan for long
time
Then suddenly. convinced that Roose-
welt had no real strength, they changed
their tactics and invited and invited
them. Now they know that direct pri-
maries furnish the people with means
of voting not only FOR man, but
AGAINST him.
Not enough people voted for Roose-
velt in Massachusetts. Pennsylvania or
Illinois to help him much. But suf-
fcient number voted against Mr.. Taft
to put that gentleman in very deep
hole
The Taft people are still hopeful, or
were this afternoon. They say that
with 12S more delegates they have got
Taft nominated They say that with
their own delegate estimate before
them But that estimate is based on
loyalty in the South that does not ex-

that the national committee viii seat

tests.
Afraid of Steam Roller.
But the national committeeman have
had their ears as close to the ground as
anybody else during the last few weeks,
and they are going to take no chances
in starting a steam roller that may run
over their own ambitions before they
can stop it.
AS soon as Mr.. Taft returns to Wash
ineton a grave and earnest conference
will he held at the white house. It has
been learned that the actual facts as
they present themselves to his man
ayers. will be presented to him. In plain
language.
He will be told that, while he still has
a chance at the nomination, provided
he can hold the South and keep the ma :
tional committee in line, even this
seems to indicate that he will have
very little chance at the polls.
New Man Not Yet Found.
He will be asked II he still wants TO
stay In the game If he does, he will be
permitted to-provided the bosses be

he says he is sick OF the whole bust

be solicited in finding a substitute
Then there will be quick work. The
new man will be boosted in every ad

letters TO political leaders win be writ

delegates to him. the president himself
will make a public statement bespeak-

The Third street district was raid
ed upon the order of Commissioner
Cray Friday night and five gambling
houses were visited by the police
squad under the direction of Chief of
Police Schevers. Crap tables and
poker layouts were confiscated by the
raiding officers but the roulette
wheels and other gambling parapher-
MALTA that have been in evidence
around the places were not found.
Six men including all of the best
known gamblers on Third street will
be arraigned on Monday morning be-
fore Justice Burrows. They are John

Simmons, Sam Mcconnell, John Lud-
err, Walter Hennings and George Nc
Cullough. Other men who were found
shooting craps in Simmons place and
against whom informations are said
to have been filed are 3. Wharton,
George Maxfield, Harry Butts, John
Case, Bert Fuller and James Smith
One slot machine was found in Sim
nous place and in trying to take it
out, the officers were in danger of
breaking 1t. "Skeeter'' Jim Is said to
have asked the officers to be careful
Of it for he might want to use 1t
again. Cards and chips galore were
taken from Fuller's place.
Officer Fuqua, who was not on the
raid last night, said Saturday that he
was not aware of raid being pulled
off. He said that an evening paper
did not state the true facts of the
case when 1t said that he did not re-
port for duty on the raiding squad.

weeks ago, all the participants were
arrested and all efforts Of their
friends to have them released were
resisted by the police.
Commissioner Gray was seen last
night in regard to the police depart
ment in general and said that there
would be change before long. The
first was the appointment of John
Griffey, who started his work last
night and will be regular man here
after.
According to the statement Of Com
missioner Gray. officer Fuqua will be
suspended for thirty days, beginning
tomorrow morning. This action Is
taken On account of an alleged assault
upon a man who complained of the
officers conduct to City Attorney
Craig. 1t is said that Fuqua hit the
man over the hand while in Mr..
Craig's office.
OF the charges that have been made
against the police department lately
by Fuqua, the commissioners would
say nothing further than to say that
they were unfounded and could not
be substantiated by credible wit
nesses. Mr.. Gray intimated that
Fuquas charges were the outcome OF
a petty jealousy on the part of the
deposed captain and characterized d.
F. Millers statements as "vagaries.

the best system of policing that 1t has

son for any change in the depart,
