PROGRESSIVE POLL
ENCOURAGES PARTY
Chairman Brooks Says Zim-
norman Has No Chance
for Election.

THE Progressive city committee
has just completed a most satisfactory
poll Of all the wards" stated Chair
man Howard Brooks today
This poll conclusively shows that
our ticket, with VIII Robbins at the
head of it for mayor will be elected
by large plurality. l feel perfectly
justified in predicting, as the result of
this poll, that DR.. Zimmerman, the Re-
publican candidate for mayor will not
carry one ward and 1 doubt if he will
carry more than two precincts"
1t leaked out today that there are a
number of Republicans who cannot
swallow DR.. Zimmerman's candidacy.
They have consistently fought him In
the past, and all appeals made to them
to stand by their party in it's hour of
need. laying aside personal prejudices
against it's candidates, have made no
impression on them.
1t is also known that an attempt to
defeat the nomination of DR.. thinner
man at the Republican nominating
convention had been framed, but the
leaders of this movement when they
saw the hall filled with Zimmerman
supporters, decided to abandon such
an effort.
Republican leaders have been great
ly worried the past few days by re-
ports that several former staunch Zim-
norman lieutenants have abandoned
his cause. Most of them frankly ad-
nit this but have assigned no reason
for their action, except the brief ex-
planation that Doc has had the job
long enough" Progressive leaders
say this is the opinion of a large num-
Der of men who have served in the
ranks of the Zimmerman forces in the
past

With pompous alacrity, which had
been somewhat subdued by the unex-
pected, strenuous and turbulent events
of the last twenty-four hours, Thaw
began his preparations for battle with
the declaration that his lawyers would
not let VIM. T. Jerome railroad" him

Jerome Wants Speed.
Mr. Jerome, former district attorney
of New York, who is here as a special
encouragement of the state of New
York, said that the extradition pro-
ceedings would be rushed with the ut
most despatch.
I'VE will try to initiate Canadian
celebrity" said Jerome. I'VE shall not
allow quibbling to interfere with the
transfer of Thaw back to the lunatic
asylum where he belongs"
In fact, Mr.. Jerome indicated strong
ly that he had assurances from Gov
Samuel Felker of New Hampshire. and
Attorney-general James H. Tuttle Of
this state, that there would be no de-
lay in giving the fugitive hearing in
the extradition proceedings.
Thaw is Peeved.
When Thaw arose in the Monad-
mock house, where he spent the night
under guards provided by Sheriff
Drew and Chief of Police Kelly, he
complained Queriously because his
breakfast was not ready. He immed-
lately demanded that Thomas F. John
son, one Of his local lawyers, be call

progress had been made in the local

way of teaching agriculture in the
schools, Mr. Williams believes, as it
affords an opportunity to the stu
dents to study practically the crops.
Instead of having the entire school
in operation throughout the year Mr.
Williams believes the small children
can attend all except a few cold
months in the winter. and the older
students attend throughout the year
except in the early spring and fall
when they are needed by their par
ents to work on the farms With this
system the ground on which crops are
being raised in connection with the
schools, can be cared for.
A teachers home adjoining the
school is another feature of the plan
More efficient teachers can be obtain
ed through this system, it is believed
as many teachers quit the profession

eight months in the year.
Agriculture will be taught in Wayne

production of the mark she had once
seen on the shoulder of Mrs. Samuel
Altman, who left her husband here a

A photograph of the mark was

She admitted that it might have

City Attorney Believes Com
pany Lists Plugs not in
Agreement.
BOARD OF WORKS ACTS
Orders Probe to Learn Exact
Number in City
Contract.

Investigation of the number of fire
hydrants and the location and cost of
each was ordered today by the board
of works, as the result of discoveries
which led to the belief that the city
is being held up" every year for a
large amount of money.
City Attorney Bond believes from
the tone OF a letter which II. a. Dill.
superintendent of the Water Works
company, sent to the board, that the
city has permitted the installation at
an annual cost OF $40 each Of a num-
Der of fire hydrants which the con-
tract between the company and the
city does not call for. The case will
require many weeks of investigation
On March "a, the city and the COM
pany entered into an agreement
whereby the city would pay for one
Are hydrant at $4s a year. If the
Water Works company would lay a
six inch main in Pearl street and open
up the territory west of West Fifth.
The new main has been completed
and is $50 feet long. while the con-
tract reads that the city is to take a
hydrant for every 500 foot extension.
The remaining 339 feet of main was
laid voluntarily by the Water Works
company to serve the rapidly growing
subdivision.
VIII Cost City s245.
In the notification of the completion
of the main, Mr.. Dill called the atten-
ton of the board to the fact that the
company is ahead of the city 2.5761.
feet of main. In other words. there
nave been laid that many feet of mains
in different parts of the city for which
the city has not taken fire hydrants.
This would make five fire hydrants
which, according to the company, the
city should have installed at an an
nual expense of $245 for the Ave
City Attorney Bond disputes the
right of the company to the claim and
says that the $500 feet of main which
consists of extra ends which the COM
pany extended for it's own profit. Mr..
Bond says the city is not compelled
to take hydrants under these condi-
tions. nor to pay for hydrants formerly
installed under similar conditions.
Annual Cost s17.ooo. ---
The city now has 331 fire hydrants-
The annual water bill for these is
more than $17, 900. According to a pre-
, vious agreement, the city is paying
$55 each for the first 225 hydrants in
stalled and $40 each for all hydrants
after that. There are several Inter
mediate" hydrants for which the city
pays nothing.
Fire Chief Miller, City Controller
, McMahan and the city attorney were
ordered by the board to conduct the
investigation as rapidly as possible
