Matter, 1t Is Said
Oy Associated Press)

San Francisco, June 25-Over-
night developments connected
with the Democratic National
Convention, indicated a DISPOSE
ton on the part Of delegates to
ignore the prohibition question
the probability of three contests
before the National Committee
today, and plans of McAdoo lead
ers to push his candidacy before
the convention, even against his
declaration that he would not be
a candidate.
The plans are said to include
the Withholding of his name from
the balloting throughout the ear
ly stages and probably present his
name if the expected deadlock
between Palmer and Cox devel-
ops.
The contests involve claims Of
rival delegations in Georgia and
Oregon, and rumors are to the ef
feet that Senator Reed will be
given a seat with the Missouri
delegation.
Suggestions to ignore the pro-
hibition issue came to Chairman
Cummings from both the bone
dry and wet delegates, but these
feelers on the harmony programs
are not clear enough to show that
all parties arrived at a conclusion
that such a course would be wise

MATERIAL HERE
FOR court ROOM
Walls VIII Be of Silver Gray,
While Ceiling Is To Be
Sky Blue

Visitors TO che court house in the
neal future, and especially after the
opening Of the regular October term
Of court, will be surprised at the new
interior of the circuit court room, since
the application of paint will soon be
made.
The paint has arrived, as has the
vanish for the woodwork, and there
will be a great transformation when
the work is completed. At the insti-
cation of the fiscal court some time
ago a committee comprising County
Judge W.sK. Price and County Road
Engineer J. G. Baxter was selected
to decide upon the paint. They have
chosen a pretty silver-gray for the
side walls, while the ceiling will be a
sky blue. The colors are said by al.
lists to harmonic splenddly, and tine
taste of the committeeman has been
complimented. 1t has not been decided
whether the work will be let out by
contract or some local man employed
to apply the paint and varnish. The
improvement has been contempt ated
for some time, but went on and on,
so to speak, until Judge Shackelford
presiding in the Madison circuit court
stated that he wanted the decorations
done before the court was in session
ell 1 n L..
Judge Price, who told him to name
"his poison" and he stated what he
wanted with the result that the two
who were selected to chose the paint
have done so, and the painting will
be started in a short time

STREET OPENINGS
AND EXTENSIONS
Advocated By Many and Sug-
gestions Have Been Made
To Mayor Evans

The number Of blind streets in the
city of Richmond, the danger in case
of fire and the fact that there is but
approach &c Richmond from the north
via the Lexington pike, have prompt
ed number of residents to advocate
the opening of number of streets
and the extension of others.
Among the suggestions, which have
been made to Mayor l.. 2. Evans, are
the following: A street opening from
the intersection Of Summit through
the T. H. Collins property to Breck
avenue, and from the intersection of
High and Breck avenue to the Tate's
creek pike, intersecting Parrish
street. This improvement, especially,
Is said to be looked upon with favor
by many and would be approved by
the city officials if they saw the finan-
cial condition equal to meeting it
Another proposition, as presented
in the way Of a suggestion to Mayor
Evans, is as follows: The extension Of
South Third street through the Wal
ker heirs property to intersect the
above street. A street should be run
from West Main street through the
CrOok-Lane alley through to Breck
avenue, which would make a number
OF openings, enhance the value Of
property, decrease the danger in case
of fire and afford another opening or
entrance to the city from the north.
When approached relative to the
matter, Mayor Evans stated that the
reports were true, and that there had
been number of residents who have
called his attention to the advantages
Of such improvements. He stated al
so that he was ready and willing to
please the property owners, as well
as any city official, who would, he felt,
also gladly act if the financial end
could be satisfactorily adjusted. He
admitted that such improvements
would be very advantageous and
would make great improvement in
this part of the city. The fact that
there are too many blind streets was
also reiterated by Mayor Evans, who
claimed that he was willing at any
time to cooperate in any improve
ment looking toward the betterment
Of the city.
