RICH MOBILE MAN
SEEKS WORKING WIFE.

Philadelphia, Pa. March 25.--Al-
len r. Marshall, OF Mobile, Ala, the
man who asked the Chicago chief of
police to find him a wife among the
women who had to earn their living
by hard work, is the most sought for
man in this city. kilograms by the
score are received almost hourly and
even long distance telephone calls
from Pittsburg were made today to
see II the man was actually sincere.
To all Marshall has replied that
there's no hurry, that every girl who
wanted to marry him would have a
chance, but that they must submit
their bids In writing and tell him
what they have been doing and what
their lives have been. He admitted
today that "Marshall' was merely
an assumed name that he had taken
to hide his Identification until he
found his future wife, and then he
will disclose the answer as to who
he is. Manager Miller, of the st
James, knows but is bound to se
| crecy. He says the man IL wealthy

brances, and that LIE 10 one Of tn,
most liberal men In the world.

FAIRFIELD in the town of Chtpley IN
July, 1910, was put on trial for the
FOURTH time in the circuit court OF

convicted at the third trial, because
the trial Judge refused to permit ceF-

the conviction because this testi-

The case was callcd yesterday for

WORK PROGRESSING
ON BRICK STREETS
Main Street Beginning to Present
Metropolitan Aspect and Will
Soon Be Open for Traffic.

Work on the brick paving Is pro-
gressing nicely, the two blocks on
Main street, extending from Massa-
chusetts to Tennessee avenue being
practically completed. and work on
the block between Tennessee and
Florida was commenced today. The
portion OF the street paved presents
a highly metropolitan appearance
which will be improved when the
work is finally completed and all de-
bris is removed.
Despite the opinion of curbstone
experts, the Telegram inclines to the
opinion that the city is getting good
work in the paving. The inspection
oi brick is quite rigid, and results
H. throwing out perhaps ten per cent
of the brick first laid, as defective
and the substitution of perfect brlcR
therefor. An inspection is first maze
BY a man in the employ OF the con-
tractors, but the inspector who acts
for the city engineer follows the
first man and is much harder to sat
isfy. When all the defective pricF
are removed the result ought to pe
pretty satisfactory.
In some cities where there is YER!
heavy traffic, concrete bed is pre-
pared for the brick, and. after It II
laid an asphalt or pitch binder II
placed in the intcrstices. This add
materially to the expense OF TN
, work. and was not considered nee
essary here. With sand between tn
brick, the paving will be quite SOIL
after the roller is applied, and vii
stand the traffic to which 1t will D
subjected here for many years.

where he went to present his claims
for the office of second assistant

says there is an evident inclination

men are favored in nearly every in
stance. He doubts if Tampa man
will get either the postmastership
or collectorship here, SO strong is

no PILSENT HOPE FOR

Pensacola, March 25,-The pub

NJ effect that the policy of Post
master General Burleson would be
to leave all Republican postmasters
Low in office in the South at their
present posts Of duty unless there
Should arise some specific cause for
dlscharging them, was confirmed In
Pensacola when a local man received
a letter from a United States sem
ator OF Florida in which the senator
at Washington stated that he had
seen the postmaster general and Mr..
Eurleson had informed him that the
term of the postmaster at Pensacola
would not expire until July, 1916.
more than three years from now.
The rostmaster general intimated
that Mr.. Glib Fell. the present post
inastef, would not be dismissed with
out cause. This Is the announced
policy Of Postmaster General Burle-
son In similar cases throughout the
county; an incumbent postmaster
VIII not be dismissed from the ser.
vice simply because he is Repub-
mean. To dismiss every postmaster
IN the country simultaneously ant
appoint new men in their places, 4
Is said, would paralyze the posta
system.
