JEWETT is NOT
OUT OF POLITICS
Mayor Himself Nips RumOr in
the Bud.

Mayor Charles w. Jewett Is not out
of politics and is not planning to take
trip to Europe to study financial con-
ditions preparatory to entering a local
banking institution. The mayor says so
himself
Rumors that the city's chief executive
has definitely decided to have nothing
more to do with politics from this time
on, other than to attend to the duties Of
his office until his term expires, year
from next January, have been current
for some time The anti Jewett- Lemcke
wing Of the Republican party, which
would like to see the mayor unseated as
n county leader, has been particularly
active In spreading the story
Asked II it were true, the mayor de-
clared:
Absolutely not"
Members of the Jewett administration
are still waiting for the mayor to indl-
cate his favorite in the race for the Re
publican nomination for mayor in the
city primary next May. Many city EN-.
plOyes have been ready to believe the
mayor has decided to drop out Of the
political arena and let things go what
ever way they Will because of his failure,
so far, to give them any instructions as
to what candidate to support.
Many city employees also are ready and
more than willing to desert the Jewtt-
Lemcke faction because they believe the
anti faction is going to win control of
the city organization at the spring re-
organization and Put over its nominee for
mayor in May.

stated
Thomas Cain and Ralph Mcguire are
said to have stolen some Of the ma
chimes and delivered them to Dampier,
who acted as "a fence" in the disposal
Of the stolen machines, according to Mr..
Evans. Dampier has entered plea OF
not guilty and has employed Eph In
man and Joseph Markey to represent him.
Cain and Mcclure have been summoned
to appear for the State.
The examination Of the members of
the special venire proceeded slowly.
Many Of the men called tor jury service

even lost estates, could be found by John
Grammer, 40, who a month ago had Of

ing Of course that the person who en-
gagged him had sufficient cash to pay
Grammer for his trouble.

mer, and for the sum of $S5 he FUR
nished here the names OF the missing
kin and their addresses in New York.
She went to that State in search or
them. The trip cost her about $780, but
she didn't find her relatives.
Charles Ormer, 372 North Holmes ave
nue., had a similar experience, 1t being
said he paid Grammer $50 for "infor-
nation"
Elizabeth castings, 5 North Jefferson
avenue, also is said to have consulted
the finder Of lost relatives, the cost OF
her information which did not prove
true. being put at 500.
