IN FEAR OF TYPHOID

The development of a few cases of
typhoid fever is predicted by City
Health Officer DR.. T. Henry Davis,
who stated today that with the return
of citizens from watering places and
summer resorts, combined with the
fact that the autumn is the season
when typhoid fever is most prevalent,
the people OF this city will undoubtedly
be subjected to the disease unless ev-
cry precaution is taken for its pre-
yention.
The watering places and summer
resorts where crowds of all classes OF
people from everywhere are gathered,
are always unhealthy TO a great de-
gree said DR.. Davis this afternoon.
We may expect number of cases of
typhoid to develop, and there prob
ably will be more OF 1t this fall than
any other disease This is usually the
case. as it is brought here by return
ing tourists and vacationists."
There have been only four cases of
typhoid this year. The city is in a
particularly healthful condition now.
the doctor stated. Scarlet fever has
been entirely stamped out, but few
cases of the disease are expected af-
ter the public schools have been in
sssion a short time.

COUNCIL TO PROBE
LOCAL RENT RATES
To See If Rentals Are In.
creased Because of Oil
ing Assessments.

AS the result of a wave of indigna-
tion on the part of many renters
against property owners, who it is
said, are using the public street oil
ing assessments as an excuse for in
creasing house rents, several council
men will consult City Attorney Bond
and ascertain if the city can legally
pass an ordinance limiting rents to a
fair per cent of the property's valua-
ton
The councilmen claim that their
ward residents are protesting vigor-
ously against having their rents in
creased from $12 to $50 a year on ac-
count of a 81 or 81 oiling assess
ment There is a demand for rent
al limitation, councilmen say.
The city recently had a number of
stree, lied under public contracts.
According to state law, only resident
property owners can petition or re-
monstrate on street oiling, as in the
case of improvements.
Renting property owners who re-
ceive no benefits from the street oil
ing and who can not demonstrate
against it, are the cause of the pres
ent rent increase movement, council
men say.
Several councilmen have talked
with prominent real estate owners in
order to hear both sides of the ques-
ton. One man who rents number of
houses is reported to have said: Il
can make money by renting a house
myself. There is nothing in owning
your own property in this city any
more, since there are so many i'm
provements to be made"
The councilmen will discuss inform
ally at the meeting Tuesday night, a
means of investigating the alleged
high rentals to receive authentic and
reliable information regarding house
rentals and profits from renting hous-
es. However, if it is found that the
council can not regulate house rent
ais it is probable there will be a dis
cussion on the advisa bility of having
a resolution introduced at the next
legislature asking for a law regulating
rentals.

OFFICERS
WORK IS DOUBLED
George Bishop Expects Diff
ficulty Under New At
tendance Law.

( AS result Of the compulsory at
tendance law recently enacted by the
legislature the duties of Truant Off
Ger George Bishop will be greatly in
creased. and truancy will be hard to
control, Bishop declares.
The work of the county truant Off
Ger for the past few years has been
practically confined to Richmond, a
letter to the parents of most pupils
living in the rural districts being suf-
ficient to have delinquent children re-
turned to school
Heretofore the law has permitted
children to quit school at the age of
fourteen. This year the children
must attend school until sixteen years
of age, unless they obtain a letter
from the county or city school super
intendent stating it is necessary for
them to work to sustain themselves
or members of their family)
The manufacturers who employ
children without this necessary letter
are held liable for their action, the
penalty for which is a fine. The tru-
ant officer believes there will be a
large number of parents and teachers
who are unfamiliar with the law who
will disregard it
Bishop will speak at the first town
ship institute to be held next week on
the law, explaining its Importance and
provisions. Every teacher in the
county must be familiar with the law.

A COAVENT|YN FOR
NOMINATING LOCAL
TICKET OF c, 0. P,
Only One Candidate for
EacifcOffice, So the Pri-

CONVENTION SEPT. 5
Committee Issues Statement
will ReOrganize a Re-
publican Club.

Declaring a popular primary unnec-
essary, since only one candidate has
been announced for each of the places
on its city ticket, the Republican city
committee voted last night to call
Off the primary election, which was
set for September g., and to call a
convention for September 5.
The committees action follows the
failure of more candidates to announce
themselves before the time set for the
closing of the entries, which was
Thursday night. The following state
ment of the situation and the call for
a nominating convention is made by
the city committee:
Committees Statement.
"a Republican city committee. elect
ed by a Republican mass meeting on
May 7, 1913, selected the eighth day
of September for a primary election
for the purpose of nominating Re-
publican candidates for mayor, city
clerk, eight ward councilmen and four
councilmen-at-large.
"The limit for entry Of candidates
for the proposed primary was August
%. The limit having expired, the Re-
publican committee finds this situa-
ton: But one candidate for each office
I has presented himself. This makes a
popular primary unnecessary, and a
convention is called for all the Re-
publicans of the city for September
s.. at o'clock, in the council cham
ber of the city building, to name a
ticket.
Who Candidates Are.
"The following candidates officially
announced themselves for city offices
before the proposed primary election:
For mayor, w. w. Zimmerman; for
city clerk George L. Thornburg; for
councilmen, First ward, Charles G. Nc
Pherson; Second ward, John E. White;
Third ward, Benjamin B. Myrick;
Fourth ward Edgar .Weidener; Fifth
ward, Elmer King; Sixth ward. Frank
M Jones; Seventh ward, Clarence
Hoffman,; Eighth ward, James E. Har-
ris; councilmen-at-large Ed Thatcher,
Edward Stein, Harvey Brown and Co.
lin Schaefer.
"These names probably will be pre-
sented as candidates for nomination
before the mass convention to be held
at the above time and place.
EDGAR ILIFF, Chairman.
"DENVER HARLAN, Secy."
Confident of victory, steps were
taken by the committee toward the
reorganization Of the Republican club,
with headquarters in the Colonial
building. A meeting will be held in
the near future to elect officers of
the club. AS soon as this is done
the headquarters will be opened.
