Carl Crawford, of Paris, received
a telegram Monday from SARDINIA,
O., stating that his sister, Mrs.

Louisville, NJ. Crawford left Tues

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT 0UR
STREETS.

You have had occasion, no doubt
TO take note of that portion of Main
street, between Sixth and Seventh
Some class to those "chugholes'' in
that block! It's an unpleasant thing
to record, but it is a fact that not
in seven cities the size of Paris
would such state of affairs be per
mitted. It's another unpleasant fact
that more profanity and profane and
unfavOrable comment has been
caused by those holes in that block
than was ever uttered by the tough
est crew on the wickedest ship ever
f1oated. Here's some of the caustic
comments THE NEWS has heard re-
rgarding, the street:
A Paris merchant suggests that
the block be leased to some amuse-
ment company, who could install
complete "bump-the-bum outfit
there and bring in big revenue; a
visitor from Versailles said it re-
minded him of some pictures he had
seen of a shell-torn battlefield; a
Georgetown autoist remarked that a
ride over that street was better for
a case of sluggish liver than am
medicine; former Paris Council
man said those holes could be kept
filled with water and utilized as a
bathing beach for children; a Win
chester motor party, in speaking Of
the street, said: What has become
of the civic pride Paris people used
to have?" And we might go on and
on, but to enumerate all the. caustic
comments we've heard about that
awful bunch of holes in the street
would take up too much space.
AutOists cuss them; visitors won
der at them; drivers try to avoid
them; citizens criticize them; they
hand everybody jolt and a bump;
on rainy days they are a succession
of dirty puddles. every passing We
hicle sending out splashes of mud
dy water to the pavements on each
side; they are shame and dis,
grace to the city of Paris, and that
is plain and undefiled Englishl

CARB0LIC ACID ROUTE TAKEN
BY FORDHAM SUICIDE

Ine dead body of Walker White
aged about forty-five years. resi-
dent of Richmond, was found living
on the bed in his room, No. 10. on
me second floor of the Fordham
Hotel, in this city, yesterday after
noon, by a cOlored porter, who had
gone to arrange the room. White
had apparently been dead for sew
eral hours, death having epsued
from carbolic acid, taken presuma-
bly, with suicidal intent.
White registered at the Fordham
from Richmond, Wednesday after
noon, and spent several hours in the
reading room, and in other parts of
the Motel, oonversing with employees.
He appeared to be in good health
and spirits, and gave no intention
to make way with himself. He re.
tired carly Wednesday night, with
the remark that he would be up
early in the morning. Yesterday
morning when the porter went to
his room to call him, White called
cut that he would be out in a few
moments. Tie room was not again
visited until yesterday afternoon
when the non-appearance of White
aroused suspicious. The porter went
TO TIE room and called several times
also trying the door, which he
found locked from the inside. Meet
ing with no response, he secured a
step-ladder and mounting to the
transom, looked in. He saw Whites
body lying ON the bed, one arm!
thrown across his ftce. He notified
w. C. Duncan, clerk a. the Fordham,
who returned to the room and I'M
locked The door. White was found
dead in bed. His mouth bore burns,
made, it was stated, by the carbolic
acid which he had taken. Duncan
notified Coroner Rudolph Davis and
Chief of Police Link, who went to
the hotel, and had the body removed
to the George w. Davis undertaking
establishment. The body was fully
identified by Earl Curtis, tobacco
man, formerly of Richmond, as that
of White, whom he knew we'll. No
| reason could be assigned for the
rash act, and nothing could be
found among his effects to base a
| reason upon.
Mr.. Curtis stated that White had

Quoted a meat market in Richmond,
and that the dead man was a mem
Der of prominent family in Rich
mond. Coroner Davis notified Mr..
White Of the death of his brother,
and asked what disposition sohuld be
made of the body. Coroner Davis
conducted an investigation which
disclosed the facts as told above.
White is said to have been drinking
heavily before he came to Paris and
after.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
FINISHES ITS WORK

James M. Cox, three times Cover
nor of Ohio, was nominated for the
Presidency early Tuesday morning
by the Democratic rational conven-
ton at San Francisco in the break
up of one of the most prolonged
dealQcks in the history of national
political parties.
1t took forty-four ballots to make
a choice and it was not until the
thirty-eighth, when Attorney Cen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer Withdrew
from the race, that the long success
sion of rollcalls showed any definite
trend
. In the turnover of the Palmer del
egates, Cox gained the advantage
over William G.. McAdoo, his rival
for the place since early in the bal
loting and that advantage never was
lost.
Supporters of Governor Cox won
way to the nomination by per-
sistent battering at the McAdoo and
Palmer forces in many states
throughout a long series of shift
ings and rallies which left now one
and then another of the candidates
in the lead.
Franklin d. Roosevelt, of New
York, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, and relative of the President
who bore that name, was
chosen for Vice-President, by the
rational convention assembled
and, although other candidates
among them Governor Stewart, of
and Major General L. D.
Tyson, of Tennessee, were presented
velt's selection from the first.

IN It's efforts to show that the thor
Olghbred is superior to the Arabian
or any other breed of horse.
This race was held last fall and
no Thoroughbred was entered. In
fact, the conditions of the race were
Kept secret, and breeders and rae
ing associations where the thor
oughbred completes were not aware
OF its existence until the results Of
the contest were published, and
they showed that Arabian bred
horses had finished first, second and
third in the contest. This started
an investigation, and it was found
that no thoroughbred had been en-
tered in the contest.
This result aroused the Thorough
bred Horse Association and others
interested in this breed of horses,
and at its last meeting the Thor

Keene, L. G. Mcdowell and A. B.
Hancock a committee to solicit
funds to compete in this race.
Those three have been busy at

they intend to interest the Jockey

on several horses which they believe
suited to their. purpose. Only sound
