The stretch Of carpet between the
door Of Mayor James G. Woodward's

smooth Thursday by the tread Of a
constant itream Of Aldermanic can
didates both seeking and receptive,
and politicians Of high and low de-
gree, who came to sound the Mayor
regarding successor to Alderman
John H. Harwell, Of the First Ward,
who will be elected by the General

The representatives Of the First
Ward in the Council called upon Mr.
Mason Wednesday afternoon and OIL
fered to give him the Endorsement Of

day afternoon, however that he will
under no circumstances be candi-
date.
With Mr. Mason eliminated, there
are left about eight residents OF The

MYSTERY IN
LOAN SHOP
HOLDU Up
Cashiers Story Doubted by Man
in Adjoining OfFice-PoIice
Without CIew.

Considerable mystery surrounds
the alleged bold daylight holdup of l.
Steirberg at the cashiers window of
the jefferson Loan Society at No. 50
Forsyth street, reported to the police
and fruitlessly investigated by de-
tectives Thursday morning. The ban
dit is said to have gotten s45.
Steinberg told the police he was
counting money at the cashiers win
COW when man entered and told
him he represented Bradstreets.
Steinberg. says the man drew gun,
pushed open the brass barring in the
cashiers cage opening, held him at
the point of the gun, took $45 from
the desk, saying he was hungry snd
needed the money" then turned and
ran out
Steinberg says he ran after the
man. who dashed across the street,
with the revolver still in his hand.
(. L. Moncrief Doubts Story.
Ell. Moncrief a fixture store pro-
prietor. whose place is just across the
entrance from the loan Office, said he
was seated at mis- desk, which COM
mands a view through plate glass
windows of the loan office, cashiers
cage. entrance and street, at the time
the holdup is said to have occurred.
1T is possible would not have seen
the excitement even II it happened"
said Moncrief, but l hardly think it
possible that, sitting within fifteen
feet of the entire proceedings, ana
having an unobstructed view of the
scene, l would have missed it.
Il had been sitting at the desk
doing some work, for about an hour.
The first | knew of any excitement
was when l saw policemen entering
the loan office.
Bow SAYS He Saw Robber.
81 asked what the trouble was. and
was told of the exciting holdup which
was said to have happened rig,,t in
front of me not twenty minu.ea be-
fore"
A young white boy, son of a man in
Moncrief's place, told the police he
saw the bandit run from the loan
office
Moncrief says he had not noticed
the bow around at the time the holdup
was supposed to have taken place
and that the boy came around few
moments after he noticed the officers
there and asked what the trouble was.
Reiterates Story.
A number of stores fitted with
plate glass windows commanding
view of the loan office and the street
we're visited by the detectives, but no
one save the boy next door was found
who had seen anything of the alleged
trouble.
When told that there were those
who were skeptical as to his really
having been held up and robbed
steinberg's only comment was:
We'll, he's got $45 of mine, and
that convinces me there was a holdup.
What / should have done was to
shoot at him through the window as
he went out, but was too excited TO
think OF that at the time, although
had a revolved in my pocket

chairs moved slightly.
These reports were followed by
many from the southern part of the

nearby
A telephone message from Social
Circle said that the supposed earth
quake was felt distinctly there, and
that many of the residents were ter
