KOENIG's DISTRICT QUIET
PrOgressivcs' Fear Of Attack
by Guerrillas Proves
GrOundless.

Primary elections, held YESTERDAY In fvo
boroughs, produced nothing but fights. No
Republican or Democratic leaders lost their
districts. No candidates for important
offices were superseded. Committee desig.
nations held good everywhere, just as
though the committees had nominated in
the first place. In other words, the new
method OF selecting candidates produced
no effective change over the old method
all at the proba ble cost Of something moro
than 81 vote to the city.
The worst fight was In the Fifteenth
Assembly district. where George Form
was contestlng the Tammany leadership
Of James J. Hagan.
In the Twenty eighth Assembly district,
Charles Largy. the Republican leader, got
into a row with Lorenzo Cioffi, who
wanted his friends to write in his name
as a candidate for the Beard Of Alder
men. Largy was arrested and was taken
to the Harlem court. charged with dis
orderly conduct. He was discharged.
There were incidental fights in other
parts OF town from Carnarsie to The
Bronx. but the effect on the voters was

To the Voters OF
Lexington, Tennessee.

In reply to a statement in last
weeks papers, signed by John
#. Hall. Mayor, | wish to state
that it is absolutely false that |
have misrepresented wilfully or
otherwise, the position taken in
the race for marshal for Lexing-
ton on the 9Th inst. by him.
In the first place my resigna-
tion was not called for until
Thursday after Mr.. franklin re-
signed on Tuesday. | was in the
Office of the Mayor on Tuesday
and was informed that Mr.. Frank
lin had resigned that day, and
was told by Mr.. Hall that he was
of the impression that the thing
for me to do was to resign. |
asked him the reason for his ad-
vice, and what charges he had
against me, and he stated that
he had none except that Mr..
Franklin could not get along
with me. On Thursday he told
me that if | did not resign he
would have to declare the Office
vacant, and still made no charge
against me. did resign on Fri
day rather than have him fire
me, not because l had done any
thing to be fired for, for he made
no charges.
then believed it was a politi.
cal trick, and was told so by one
of Mr.. Halls closest kinsmen
and political advisers, and when
/ told Mr.. Hall what had heard
on Tuesday before the election
that night, he did not believe
me, and faced him before my
informant who confirmed the
statement.
There was no understanding
about the Justice of the Peace
costs between me and Mr.. Frank
lin. He had been Sheriff and
Marshal for q long time, and
naturally would have more than
/ would, and that part Of the
cost was not mentioned in our
agreement. We only agreed as
to the Mayors costs. and that
was divided as far as l was con-
cerned, and the Mayor knows
that to be true.
Respectfully,

Among those present who partici-

water system and its fire protection
and who asked number of questions
of the water experts, were Captain

Present Their Plan.
The engineers fs,m the national un-
derwriters, who were in Richmond
some time ago. making series OF
tests of the local water service, as used
in IRE protection, submitted PLAN
approved by the underwriters and en-
dorsed by them as the best Tor the
city to adopt in the installation OF
high pressure service. Both Mr..
Booth and Mr. Rowland pointed out
several particulars in which the plan
they suggested would be more econom :
zeal than others that have been sug-
rested, among which are the placing
of standpipes.
The standpipe proposition received
consideration and was discussed at
some length, but the last word was
that of the visiting engineers who dc
clared that unless standpipes are OF
very large storage capacity they are
of little value The cost OF erecting
and maintaining standpIpes OF the
sufficient capacity will be greater than
is warranted by the local situation.
