But what makes me more furious is that after receiv- ing this fund from me he had ordered my deportation "for having attempt ed to bribe high official of the Mex ican government while in reality. he and his confederates had actually &C., cepted my money. However, this taught me good lesson. From that time on I learned to regard Spanish gentlemen with great deal of sus- picion. I found these men were not honorable in keeping their promises.

GRAY LIKELY
TO RUN AGAIN

According to reports this week Fin.
ley Gray Oh Connersville, will seek the
Democratic nomination in the Sixth
Dictrict, where he was defeated de-
cisively few months ago in the spe-
cial election by Richard Elliott of Con-
nersville. Gray was defeated at the
regular election in 1915, and 1t was
taken for granted by Democrats
throughout the Sixth after the special
election that he would retire as con-
eressional candidate.
Many Democrats seem to feel that
the nomination of Gray at this time
would be the same thing as handing
the district over to the Republicans.
The Republican leaders, 1t is believed,
would welcome him as candidate and
do whatever they could quietly to en-
courage the Democrats to nominate
him While Gray came out In support
OF the Administration in the special
election, there was feeling through
out the district that he had been
pacifist up to that time.
II was said that in the hope OF OBJ
tanning the support OF the Quakers IN
Wayne county. on the ground that he
was opposed to war, ,Wnlie representa-
tions were being made to the strong
prolAmericans who favor vigorous
prosecution OF the war that Gray stood
with them.
Under the circumstances the lead
ers Of both parties realized that Gray
was white meat" for the Republican
nominee, who left no doubt that he
favored the active prosecution of the
war and who left no doubt that he
proposed to stand by the Government
throughout the conflict,
Representative Elliott will be renom-
mated by the Republicans, and, while
the odds will favor him against any
candidate because his district is Re-
publican, there are reasons to believe
that Elliott and his friends would like
nothing better than to have the Demo

BRIEF RESPITE
seen BY MOORE

A brief respite from the zero wealth
CT of the last week is promised for the
next few hours by Weatherman Moore.
Monday the temperature assembled
and Moore predicted. it would continue
to ascend Monday night and Tuesday
and might reach the freezing point
Monday morning the temperature went
to five degrees below zero.
The warmer weather is caused by a
storm which is approaching from the
west, bringing snow in its wake. Sun
day the temperature at Denver stood
at g. degrees above zero.
This storm will be followed by an
other spell of zero weather, says
Moore.
Prospects for white Christmas"
are bright, he says.

SET ON
USE OF SUGAR

Food Administrator Weidner Mon
day announced the food administration
is seeking to limit the sugar consump-
ton to three quarters of a pound a
week to an individual.
"A limit of three pounds of sugar
month per consumer is the goal of
the administration" said Weidner.
There are now 100000 pounds of
sugar in Richmond jobping houses,
equal to ten day supply for Wayne
county, says Weidner and the future
supply depends upon the purchases
made by jobbers between Oct. l, 1916.
and Oct. 1, 1917, as their supplies will
be apportioned on that basis.

BAvIS' Plan
IS HALTED

Alfred Bavis' plan Of furnishing cleo
trio power and heat to three of the
largest factories in Richmond at al
most cost was temporarily halted Mon
day by Superintendent Kleinknecht of
the city light plant.
Bauis, who was defeated last fall for
the mayors position, claimed that if
the city furnished power to these
plants that much coal would be con-
served.
After a lengthy argument with Su-
pertntendent Kleinknecht Monday in
the board of works office the matter
was dropped.
The three factories are now gene
rating their own electric current.
Superintendent kleinknecht claim
ed that the plan was impractical and
that more coal would have to be used.
Besides about $4,000 would have to be
spent in added equipment at the light
plant to furnish the current, Bavis
could not understand, he said. how
that could be possible
Bavis asked if Kleinknecht had in
vestigated it He was told that he
had so far as the city light plant was
concerned and also that he had talked
to the manufacturers
Il have no reason to doubt the sin
cerity OF the manufacturers, as if it
would be a saving for them they Ger.
tainly would not refuse to make the
change" Kleinkn echt said.
Bavis asked tor the data collected
by kleinknecht on the question
Eleinknecht said he would furnish it
and asked that the manufacturers be
called before the board. With that
request the matter was dropped.
