SIX CANDIDATES IN RACE
FOR POMERENE'S OFFICE

COLUMBUS. O.. July 1S.-(By
The Associated Press)-Six candi-
dates, including Senator Pom-rene
himself. want to become United
States senators from Ohio at the
conclusion of Senator Atlee Pome-
rene's term next March A..
Four Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis have entered for the nomina-
ton at the Ohio statewide prlular-
les on August s. Senator Pomerene'l
lone opponent is former Congress
man John J. Lentz. of Columbus,
president of the American Insurance
Union, who was defeated for the
nomination by Senator Pomerere
six years ago. Pomerene's friends
have said they are not taking the
Lentz candidacy seriously, and that
they expect the senior Ohio sena-
tor to be renominated by a large
vote.
In the Republican camp, the main
contest, politicians say, appears to
be between Congressman Simeon
II. Fess, of Yellow Springs, who is
chairman of the National RepHbli-
can Congressional Committee, and
Charles Dick. of Akron, formerly
United States senator from Ohio and
author of the Dick National Guard
law. Fess is considered a strong
advocate of national prohibition and
a supporter of the Harding ad1linis-
tration. Dick vas defeated for re-
nomination six years ago and his
cr:rv into the present campaign
caused some surprise in political cir
cles.
Opposed to Fess and Dick are
John w. Arnold of Columbus. for
mel lieutenant governor, and David
w. Wood, a civil war veteran and
an inmate of the Ohio Soldiers
Home at Sandusky.
Although chief interest in the
primary appears to be centering in
the contest for the Republican nom
nation for governor the Democratic
Subernatorial fight is attracting con-
siderable attention.
Despite the claims of friends that
he should have had no opposition
because he was the defeated can0i-
date two years ago. former State
Auditor A. Vic Donahey, of New
Philadelphia. is opposed by three
other contestants.

THE NEW YORK SMOKING BAN
Was Never Passcd-Employce in tho
City Clerks Office III Error.

New York, March 20. Police
Commissioner Enright to-day lifted
the ban on smoking by women in
public as suddenly as he clamped it
down last night when he learned
that Alderman McGuinnesss anti
smoking ordinance had never been
passed by the board Of aldermen or
signed by Mayor Hylan.
Daniel w. If. Mccoy, an employee
OF the city clerks office, was led
forth caparisoned in sackcloth and
ashes as official goat" for an error
that had set pro and even anti-sm ok
ing women on the warpath from the
Battery to the reaches Of Harlem.
Mccoy, it was explained, was
charged with clipping the official city
record for resolutions and ordi-
nances that have been adopted and
approved by the mayor and sending
them along to the proper officers for
enforcement.
Mccoy still was too much over
come by the wrath that had de-
seconded upon his head to explain
just how he happened to include the
anti-smo oking bill in his list Of ordi-
nances adopted and approved.

Chicago, April 3.-4There are 81
600 vacant flats in Chicago to-day,
and by June 1st that number will be
doubled, says NJ. B. Walsh, secretary
OF the Tenants League. The reason,
he says, is that prices are too high.
Landlords are asking anywhere
from SIS to $3.50 a month for them,
and the people can't pay" Mr.. Walsh
declared.
With the coming Of the fine wea-
ther, according to the renters cham
pion, thousands Of tenements will be
vacated by families, who will take
up their abode in tent colonies. Last
year 1t was estimated that 10000
families saved rent by this practice

HEAVY LOSS IN a BARN FIRE.
Number Of Mules, Cattle and Hogs
Perish in Dorchester Flames.

Dorchester, March 30.-Fire de-
stroyed the barn OF ]. S. Hutto at /
o'clock Tuesday morning. -Four of
Mr.. Hutto's best mules and one
horse, along with fifteen head of cat
tie, seven hogs, three wagons, one
moving machine, one buggy, gears,
plow stocks, saddles and feed, in ad-
dition to large number Of potato
barrels and some bagging and ties
that were stored there, were lost in
the flames. The barn was quite a
iarge one, and high, and owing to
the heat and the progress Of the
flames it was impossible to get the
stock out. TWO mules and one horse
escaped, and several COWS and calves
reached safety, but were badly
scorched and blistered. 1t is be-
heved that all the stock came out,
but went back into the fire. Several
hogs that were In a pen near the
barn reached safety when released
from the pen, but were badly burn
ed. Mr.. Hutto was In Charleston and
returned just after the fire. The barn
was equipped with water and cleo
trio lights, and shortly after mid
night was visited by two men who
administered to a sick mule, at
which time there was no sign Of fire.
Neither Of the men was a smoker,
and there is no clue as to the origin
or the fire. The loss to Mr.. utto Is
quite heavy, as he had only $4,000
insurance on the barn, while the loss
IS above 81, 700. A cotton warehouse
100 feet away, and the home Of a.
neighbor, just. across the street
from the barn, came near burning
also.

LESLIE KING IS SERIOUSLY CUT.
Was Stabbed with Knifo by james
Hicks Oh March goth.

Leslie King, white, 25 years Of
age, and unmarried, was seriously
stabbed on March goth in an unfor
tunate affair which took place in the
store Of d. d. Elrod at Oakway.
1t seems that there were a num-
Der Of men in and about the store,
young King, who is son of S. Bleck-
ley King, Of Oakway, and James
Hicks, white man Of about G5 or
70 years Of age, being among those
present. There was considerable
going on among the members Of the
crowd, it is said, and everything so
far as apparent, was entirely in the
nature Of pleasantly and friendli-
ness, when Mr.. Hicks took exception
to something said by young King.
Hicks, it is said, became enraged anI
cursed King, whereupon the latter
went up to the aged man and asked
him what he meant by his abuse. 1t
is said that Mr.. Hicks turned on
King, and, with q knife in his left
hand. stabbed King, innicting ii
serious and painful wound, the knife
blade penetrating slightly the right
lung. King has been in serious con-
dition since, but last Thursday we
had information from him to the ef-
feet that he is now improving nicely,
and ii is hoped that in a few weeks
he will be entirely we'll again.
James Hicks is in the Oconee jail
awaiting definite developments in the
condition of young King.
1t Is said that the affair came up
so suddenly that everybody was for
the moment nonplused. 1t seems
that Mr.. Hicks is quite a character
III the community, being n great
joker himself and the butt Of many
jokes on the part Of others. 1t was
not thought that he would take ex-
ceptions to the Joking on the occa-
sion Of the stabbing, and the unfor-
tunate affair came like a bolt from
a blue sky.

When asked wna' disposal was
