The solicitor and Special Agent

change in the rivers course. If a
long curve at Giles Bend were Vim
mated and the river shot across the
country, thereby making straight
cut, II would create currents at points
below that would endanger the has-

rapidly with their repair work this

HE ANNOUNCES THAT HE. WILL
BE A CANDIDATE rAT ePRI-
MARY m DECEMBER, =
Alderman Hopkins is Also Considered
"a Candidate, While Friends Of Mayor
a
Bu<ts Believe that He Will Offer for
Reelection.

With the election more than six
months away and with two candidates
area1y in the field, and the probabil-
ity t.lat there will be at least one, if
not TWO more, the voters of Bruns-
wi(k will likely see one of the most
interesting campaigns in recent years
during the coming fall, when nots
only a mayor but four aldermen are
also to be nominated.
The primary will not be held unt|
November, aud the election no. until
December, but already there are 1umb-
lings OF various candidates for mayor
and for aldermen, AMI even AZ this
early date it is understood that two
OF the present members of council
are in the race foi 1hayor,. while
Mayor Butts will n:ole than likely
be- candidate for reelection
Alderman J. H. Leo, who has rep-
res eated the Fourth waId in CO Incil
for t'ts past several years, is sgdlre-
lyr ins the race for mayor. FL: has
been consi.;erec candidate for s;;T.s
time and yesterday made public an-
nouncsnlent that he wodIi be in tee
race ani si.teJ further, to a News
repr s.Senratise, that. at tha pcjpe,
time, he woul make his formsl aa-
nouncement, outlining the issues upon
which he would make the race.
Alderman J. H. Hopkins, of the
list s&ard,it is understood,is also in the
hiIf Hu 10 aLro
any announcement. 1t Is known, how
ever, by his close friends that he will
be candidate and wiz make his for
NAL announcement at the proper
time
Whether or not Mayor Butts will
offer for reelection is not yet known,
but is more than probable that he
will. When questioned on the sub
iect yesterday he stated that, with
the election more than six months off,
it was too early to start a city cam
paign, that he had not definitely de-
cided, but at the proper time, after
some of the state and county cleo
tions are over with, he would have a
statement of some kind to make to
the eople of the city. 1t is believed
however, by the close friends of the
mayor, that lie will be a candidate to
succeed himself.
1t is rather early TO start a city
campaign, but, with two candidates
practically already announced, with
the third a 1ecided probability and
with the belief by many citizens that
there will be another, Brunswick may,
for he first time in her history, see
a four-cornefed race for the mayor
ality hOnos at the December primary.
Folr aldermen are also to be elect
ed, making majority of council, and
the ir dicatious at present are that
there will be more than one candi-
date from each of the four city wards.
1t is coming, and the people might
just as well prepare for it-One Of the
most intresting city campaigns in the
history of the city.

PLOT TO DESTROY
THE ROYAL FAMILY
Two Confidential Servants in
Imperial Palace Exc
cuted Today.
(National News Association)

PEKIN, Jan. 1S.-Two Manchu eu-
nuchs, formerly confidential servants
in the imperial palace in the Forbidden
City, were executed today, having
been convicted in completely in the
plot to destroy the royal family
The two eunuchs were arrested with
a third who is being held in-communi-
cado. 1t is reported that the trio made
a full confession admitting that they
were paid by agents of the republican
government to place poison in the food
of the reigning family.
In spite of the completeness of the
confessions which the Manchu author
tiles declare they have secured, 1t Is
believed by many that the admissions
were chiefly concocted by Manchu of.
ficials to discredit the republican gov
ernment.
Harsh treatment is being accorded
all the prisoners arrested for plotting
the death Of the empress dowager and
other members of the royal family.
Three of them are said to have been
beaten nearly to death by soldiers in
an attempt to make them confess the
names of alleged republican agents
who paid them to betray the Manchu
dynasty. All the infamous cruelties of
the Oriental prison system were
brought to bear upon the eunuchs who
were executed today, before they were
brought to death.
So great has become the fear of the
empress dowager that she will be poi
soned that she employs servants to
taste all food and drink which is serv
ed before she will eat or allow the
baby emperor to partake of it.

FLAMES DRIVE 100
GIRLS INTO STREET
Employees in Laundry at Chi
cago Have a Narrow
Escape Today.
(National News Association)

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-More than 100
girls employed in the plant of the
Palace Laundry company, 1925 Lowe
avenue. were driven to the street in
panic early today when fire which
threatened the total destruction OF
half dozen big buildings attacked the
drying room and spread with fierce
rapidity to all parts of the structure.
1t was with difficulty that all the
girls were got out safely. Within few
minutes the flames attacked the big
plant of the Englewood Sash and Door
company and spread with startling
speed to all sections of this big plant,
covering more than half a block.
At 3 a. m. flames had jumped into
the yards of the Chicago and Western
Indiana railroad. The yards were in
flames at scattered points and the
destruction of these, too, was threat
ened. Virtually the fire was in pro
gress over an area of two blocks and
through the railway yards.
So rapid were the flames that with
in six minutes Eli. 81, alarm and
a special call for ten engines were
sent in.

TO LOCAL F|RtMth
Must Observe the Rules or
Hand in designations,
Board Rules.

A shake up in the fire department
is promised by the board OF public
works if certain rules of the depart.
ment are not observed. At the meet
ing Of the board Thursday morning
complaints registered with members
of the board recently were reviewed
and the city clerk was Instructed to
send a notice to each member of the
department that further violation OF
rules would call for a resignation.
Mayor Zimmerman said that he had
heard that some members of the No.
4 hose company, stationed at South
Ninth and e streets, have been in
the habit of going to nearby saloons
while on duty, and that he has heard
that they have even carried beer to
the hose house. He declared that this
would have to cease and that while
members of the fire department are
on duty none of them shall drink.
IIcSluGul vi Tic UOdI u
as we'll as Mayor Zimmerman has
heard that some members of the vari.
GUS hose companies have been leaving
the hose houses while they are sup
posed to be on duty, without permis-
sion. The mayor emphatically declar-
ed that the firemen are supposed to
stay at their respective hose houses
while they are ION duty and are not
supposed to leave without the permits
sion of the fire chief, except in cases
Of emergency.
A motion to this effect was unani
mously passed by the board and the
clerk was instructed to notify each
rule
The mayor further stated that
every fireman should be courteous to
visitors and to other members of the
department. He said that he had
heard that a congenial spirit did not
prevail in all of the hose houses and
that in one case all of the men were
down" on their captain.
The board decided to order the pro-
prietOrs of the Pala1s Royal store to
remove the sign which is in front OF
the store as the board believes it to
be dangerous and contrary to the city
ordinance.
Attorney p. J. Freeman appeared be-
fore the board in behalf of residents OF
West Main street residing west oi
Fifth street, and presented the argu
ments of residents against the proDos
ed widaninx OF the street. The board
took the matter under advisement.
The complaint made by Councilman
J. E. Thatcher of the bad condition ol

Sixth to Tenth streets was taken VI
by the board and the matter was re
ferred to the city engineer with in
structions to draw up plans and speci
fications for cement sidewalks.
