Richmond Voters Showing
Interest in Primary Monday

this year and are now looking about
for a satisfactory candidate for mayor.
Jacob Lichtenfels, the we'll known To-
cal meat dealer, is being urged to an
nounce his candidacy, but SO far has
declined to do so, but may yield to the
pressure being brought to bear on him.
Adolph Blickwedel, a South End
grocer and saloonist, and a
former member of council, has
announced that he will be a candidate
for the Democratic mayoralty nomina-
mayoralty candidate is not nominated.
BlickwedePs candidacy has not been
well received by the dominating fac
ton of the local Democratic party for
they are charging that he is not a real
dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, alleging
that he has actively supported Zim-
norman.
still in a quandry as to what course
to pursue in nominating city ticket
1t was desired to hold a primary, but
this plan has received black eye by
DR.. Zimmerman's announcement that
he would be a candidate for the Re-
publican mayoralty nomination if a
| primary was held.
Republican leaders do not believe
their ticket would have much strength
with the five-term candidate heading
| it, but they realize he would be strong
enough to win the nomination at a
primary. Therefore. it will be no sur
prise If the ticket is nominated at a
| convention, and J. e. Iliff named as the
candidate for mayor. In such an event
DR.. Zimmerman would make the race
as an independent.
Like the Progressives, the Socialists
are to enter city campaign this year
| for the first time, this decision being
reached by the strength shown by that
party in Richmond at the election last
November, when over 900 votes were
| polled.
The entrance of the Socialists into
the municipal election free-for-a1l, in
cidentaliy, is viewed with much appre.
hension by the two old parties, who
realize that the Socialists will obtain
many recruits from their ranks.

CRUDE OIL SALE IS
NOT TO Be STOPPED
Investigation Proves That
Report Is Without
Foundation.

The report that the Standard OIL
company is 20 stop the sale of crude
oil in this city appears to be without
of the Light, Heat and Pawer COM
pany. stated this morning that he had
heard the rumor, but that upon inves-
tigation he had found that the report
had been started by a driver for the
oil company.
A large number of local manufac-
turers use crude oil. and in case the
sale of it would be stopped 1t would
materially affect conditions here.
Il have heard the report" said Mr..
Wharton, but upon Investigation I
have ascertained that the rumor was
started by a driver Of one of the com
pany's oil wagons. have received no
ofIiciaI notice about the matter. We
have a contract, and. of course. we
win be supplied with crude OIL until
this contract expires. OF we will get
heavy damages from the company. We
use more than 500, 900 gallons OF crude
oil each year. The oil is gasified by
heating to a high temperature.
II do not know what we would use
in case the sale was stopped Accord
ing to the report. the Standard OIL
company desires to use the oil In the
manufacture of gasoline We could
use other oils, but probably some of
the other oils would not bring the
same results"

About Parker.
JURY CONVENES TO-DAY
Judge Recommends That 1t

of This Case.
JURY CONVENES TO-DAY

The truth of whether or not Seth
Lucas is mentally responsible in his
recent confession of having murdered
Winfield Parker, lies at the bottom of
a thirty foot well, filled in with stones
and rubbish, on the farm of Harry
Wood. two miles north of Williams
burg. The search for the body of the
missing man has finally been mar
rowed down to this spot.
Following the publication in the Pal
ladium of the story of the five years
mysterious disappearance of Parker
and the suspicious of his wife and
step-father that his intimate and
crony, Seth Lucas, had murdered the
man fellow prisoner at the county
jail obtained the first information
from Lucas that he knew anything
about the fate of Parker. Lucas told
the prisoner that he had knocked
Parker in the head, killing him, and
then had hidden the body in a we'll
near the old blacksmith shop near the
Lucas home north of Greensboro.
Following an unavailing search of
this well three days ago by Chief of
Police Gormon, Lucas was questioned
further by Turnkey Rice Miller and
gave the additional information that
he had later removed Parker's body
at night from the blacksmith we'll, for
fear Of its detection, and carried 1t in
his buggy to the farm of Ather Way
where he threw it into a disused or
partially finished we'll
Way corroborated a portion of this
testimony as to a drain cistern hay-
ing been built in a field of a farm he
owned, at the time of Parker's dis
appearance, several miles northeast
of Webster. Chief Gormon, however,
found the cistern had been finished
and covered with practically an i'm
movable concrete slab before Parker
vanished, and Lucas was questioned
again by Miller. This time Lucas
specified the exact location of the well
as between two barns on the farm
way had owned until 1907 two miles
north of Williamsburg.

Peculiarly, this farm was the boy.
