CITY POLITICS.
Mayor Won't Say Whether HI.
Will Run for Reelection.
Roy Bone Worried About the
j. e. House Sentiment,

Although Roy L. Bone, city COM
missioner Of finance, has for several
months made no secret of the fact that
ne intends to be candidate for may
or, X. L. Cofran. present mayor, de-
clined today to state whether or not
he intends to be a candidate to succeed
himself on the grounds that such a
statement would be premature.
1T Is too long time before the
election for me to be saying now what
my Intentions are. I have been too
busy cleaning up the town to think
about whether or not I shall again be
candidate for another term" the
mayor said.
A great many people would like to
know the mayors intention in the
matter, but probably Roy L. Bone is
more desirous of knowing than is
anyone else.
Mr.. Bone is also just as anxious to
know about the possibilities of anoth-
er man becoming q candidate, and
this particular man who is causing
Mr.. Bone to worry is J. E: House. Re
gardless Of the attitude Mr.. House or
his friends may take of the matter,
Mr.. Bone regards the talk about "Dodd
CASTOR" becoming a candidate serious
ly. The subject Is no joke with Mr..
Bone and he has gone to the extent
OF making inquiries as to how what he
styles as Houses feelers" are being
received.
Mr.. House was told today of Mr.
Bones desire to know his intentions,
but Mr.. House did not give up much
information on the subject.
Il leave it for Mr.. Bone to draw his
own conclusions as to whether or not
my candidacy Is to be taken seriously -
Mr.. House said.
Perhaps Mr.. House is just as inter-
ested in knowing how seriously his
candidacy is being taken as is Mr..
Bone, and Mr.. Bones report on his in
vestigation of the subject, if he makes
one, may be interesting.
None OF the members of the city
commission. with the exception of
Mr.. Bone. have stated what their in
tentions will be when the campaign
season opens, but it is a pretty safe
prediction that w. L. Porter will be a
candidate to succeed himself as COM
missioner of parks, and that Frank
Newland likes his job as commission
er OF water and lighting well enough
to ask for a second term, and that w.
G. Tandy will not be adverse to con-
tinuing as commissioner of streets.
No one has yet appeared as even q
receptive candidate for commissioner
Of finance although the present occu-
pant has expressed a desire to vacate
and move into the mayors chair.

c o n st u ionalist Headquarters,
Above Torreon, March 27.-The most
pitiable of all the heart rending spec

the disabled wounded crying for wa

as bullets, for many wounded died Of

tied about his neck, as in his bandit
days. General Villa, among the rag

who have fought day and night for
the capture of Torreon. has been the
most conspicuous figure. The conven-
tional notion of a commanding gen.
eral directing q campaign through
field glasses, and with q map spread
before him found no illustration in
him.
The rebels fought amid scenes of
intense suffering and horror. Water
was scarce, and was supplied only
from tanks hauled on freight cars at
their rear and rations had become un-
available. after the first days fighting,
for the fighting was too continuous to
permit the mems retiring for food.
Thus, with nothing behind them but a
desert and before them only the
enemy. the rebels fought unaffected
by the scattered heaps Of dead and
wounded.
General Villa. during pauses in the
firing. talked confidently. OF the fall
OF T0rreon. He did not place himself,
however, among those who believe the
capture of Torreo1. would SpeM. the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET HELD IN CHECK. RUmors of Further Investigation of Railway Systems Negative Factor.

New York, May 25.-Various con- hicting conditions served to keep the stock market in check again today. Chief among these were the general intimations from Washington that the government contemplates further in- vestigations into the management of certain large railway systems, as well as indications that the administration purposes carrying out it's So-called antitrust programme during the pres ent session of congress. Misgivings as to the progress of Mexican mediation and additional gold exports to Paris were contributing factors.
 One of the few definite developments of the day was a decision rendered by the United States supreme court in the tap line" cases, upholding the original rulings of the United States commerce court and reversing the opinion of the interstate commerce commission. To that extent, at least. the decree of the highest court was considered favorable to the railroads and the result was a temporary slight advance in prices. Improvement was of brief duration, however. much of the early advantage market closing with a dull and heavy undertone.
 Relatively the bond market was more active than the stock list, but here also the trend was towards irregularity, with evidence Of moderate liquidation. Bonds of some of the Gould roads were among the weakest, and some more ob- scure issues yielded materially.
 Dealings here for foreign account were trivial
 Total sales of bonds, par value, ap- proximated $2,710, GOO.

GreeneviIIe Trimmers Vietorious.

The GreeneVille Trimmers defeated the Baltic Tip Tops Saturday by the score of to 8. although the Baltic players averaged from IT to 19 years of age. Baltic started off like winners but Carey held them down after the third inning, and this, with the timely hitting of the other players, changed defeat into victory. In the ninth, with Baltic two runs ahead and two out, LaCourse got a home run and started a batting rally. Then Downing, Neyins and Gauthier each got two base hits and put the game in the hands of the Trimmers.
 The lineup was as follows: LaCourss C. Carey D, T. Gauthier 1b. Lucas 2b, Rozanskt 3b, Downing ss, Nevfns If, Carter cf F. Gauthier If.
 The GreeneVille Trimmers went to Occum Sunday and beat the best ball team that could be found in that part of the country. With Occum one run ahead in the ninth inning, and three men on bases, Manager Burge of the Occum team tried hard to stave off de- feat by putting in few men that were looking on, but it was no use the Trimmers had got going, and when Gauthier got his three bagger it made the score to in favor of the Trim mers,
 This makes the fifth straight for the good team to give them a go. Rozan- Carey pitched gilt edge ball all the way through for the winners.

Marathon race on Memorial day morning against Cor bett, Sakal and Wieks claiming that they are professionals; with evidence to prove the same. As this race is strictly for amateurs only. they will be barred by the board of managers, if the evidence Is sufficient
 The Bulletin cup which will be given to the winner of the race can be seen in the window of Fagan's Smoke Shop. with the three medals and the seven ribbons.
 Physical Director Nickerson of the Y. M. C. A. is the originator of the race and has spent a good deal of time in preparing for the event and has had lot of experience in running races in othar cities. He says that the course ought to be covered by the winner in 33 minutes anyway, if not sooner.
 One of the contestants is willing to bank on doing the route in 25 minutes and others are confident of doing it in 30 minutes.
 Dave Bendett is training daily and while on business with his meat team in Gales Ferry he ran all the way back, but did not keep any track of the time.
 The boys that will represent the Y M. c. A. wiM cause much worry in the race: as they are all good and speedy and have the endurance.
