The court suggested that Jerome's s
bail be forfeited THAT would hit

NEW BUILDING
ORDINANCE IS
BEING DRAWN
Inspection, Issuance Of Permits,
Extension Of Fire Limits
to Be Provided for.

ITY ATTORNEY TUPPER is
now engaged in drawing up a
new building ordinance which
will replace the several ordiances
now on the books.
New and revolutionary provisions
are to be incorporated III the new
building ordinance and when COM
pleted it is to be printed in pamphlet
form SO that it will be at the hands
of those who are most likely to be af-
fected by its provisions.
To begin with all building must be
inspected in the future. according to
the plans of the attorney. While a
regularly employed building inspec-
tor is not to be retained, it is ex-
pected that Fire Chief j. S. Hynes
will add building inspection to the
duties of his office. No buildings
will be erected without permits and
the present fire limits will be extend
ed. Moreover, a more rigid building
requirement will be insisted upon In
residential sections outside the fire
limits.
The present building ordinance
covers a dozen pages of the ordinance
book and are not in circulation. In
fact the city attorney has the copy
of the municipal ordiances that are
now extant.

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. e.
Stunned by the extent of the damage
wrought by last nights fire, which
swept more than fifty city blocks
with an estimated loss of millions,
the citizens today took their first re-
habilitation.
Mayor McClendon accepted the
governors offer Of two companies of
militia, and called a mass meeting
of the citizens, to be held later in
the day, when it will be decided
whether to- call on outside cities for
aid.
1t is estimated that $500 people
are homeless. The majority of these
are temporarily encamped in the vi
cinity of the Oaklawn race track and
the State fair grounds.
There is no danger of a water fam
inc, although it has been announced
that the city will be without electric
lights for 60 days.
Business generally is at a stand
still. The New Era and the Daily
News, afternoon papers, are without
power and are unable to publish. The

N ENNER, Sept. 6.-Governor Eli
as NJ. Ammons will not be a
candidate to succeed himself in
1914 Neither will he seek the Unit
ed States senatorship nor any other
political position. for that matter:
and, when his present term as chief
executive of Colorado ceases, he will
step down and out
This statement was made today by
Governor Ammons' .private secretary,
Claud Fairchilds, in discussing the
coming state campaign with your
correspondent. This is the first of
ficial declaration that the governor
did not intend to stay in politics and
make the second race. Secretary
Fairchilds stated that the governor
had made his intentions clear in the
matter to him a few days ago: but
he added, however. that the COVER
nor may within the coming year
come to n different understanding:
but this is hardly likely, as he de-
clares he intends to return to his
farm just as soon as his present term
ends.
Governor Ammons feels that he
cannot afford, financially, to remain
In politics. The pay of the governor
in Colorado is too small to be much
OF an inducement. He has now had
the honor of filling the highest po-
litical position in the state. and to
continue longer would mean money
loss to him; hence, the decision he
has arrived at. Besides. his many
private enterprises demand his per-
sonal attention.
1t has been generally understood
among the many friends of the gov
ernor that he would become a can
didate for the United States senate
at the close of his gubernatorial in
eumbency. but this late announce
ment would indicate that he will not
enter the race.
Roady to the Fore.
With this determination, the field
is now left open for State Auditor
Roady Kenehan, who is known to be
an avowed candidate. 1t may be that
Attorney General Farrar will enter
the race, but this is not definite In
Kenehan's case, too, there has lately
been rumor that he may try again
for state treasurer. This position
pays $4,000 a year, while that of
governor pays only $4,000 For a
time it was stated that State Treas
urer Leddy intended to announce for
governor; but, like Governor Am
mons, he has decided to make no more
races for state office, and will con-
tent himself with managing his many
private institutions.
