TOB|N PLANS
TO HOLD JOB
UNTIL MAY 81.
Speculation Is INDUCED in
as to Successor for
Sheriff.
COURT WILL APPOINT
Stevens, Van Ripper and
Alphonse Newton Jr.
,s Are Mentioned.
COURT WILL APPOINT

Despite the announcement from
candidates on the Citizens ticket that
they will not participate in the gen
eral election Of May s, which insures
the election of the entire Peoples
ticket without further opposition.
Sheriff John W. Tobin will not re-
sign his office as sheriff Of Bexar
county until May 81. A statement TO
this effect was given out by Sheriff
Tobin Wednesday morning. Under the
city charter Mayor-elect Tobin will
not succeed 10 the Mayors office until
June /.
With this announcement from Sher-
if Tobin came considerable specula-
ton regarding the appointment Of a
man to fill his unexpired term OF Of
flee. Although Sheriff Tobin de-
clined to discuss this matter, point
ing out that the selection Of a sheriff
is up to the commissioners court, 1t
is known that Chief Of Police A. o.
Van Ripper and Police Captain jim
Stevens have been mentioned for the
Job. II is also known that scores of
friends of Alphonse Newton Jr.. chief
deputy in Sheriff's Tobin's office. are
urging his appointment for the unex-
pired term. 1t is known that Deputy
Newton does not aspire 10 run for the
office, after the present term expires
and many believe that his faithful
service in the department warrants
his appointment as sheriff.

Marathon Dancers
Become Sea Sick
at Smile LIMIT

New York, April IS. - Eight
pair of dancers, decidedly without
the slightest taste of food, learned
last night what an old salt means
when he talks about sea legs.
The eight couples started Stun
bling the heavy fantastic at mid
night Monday and at noon Tues
day had reached twelve hours and
the disapproval of the police.
They were ordered either to stop
or get out of the state, so they
decided. 10 go TO sea.
The plan was twelve hours At
sea. twelve on land. ad infinitum.
They toddled up a plank to a
truck and then over a gang plank
to a deck.
The deck was that of a fishing
smack, used to heavy seas.
The seas were unusually heavy.
so the smack went out beyond
Rockaway.
Within six hours the fatalities
were so many that the statisti-
clans abandoned their vigil to hold
heads.
The bounding main was too
bouncing.
At 0 o'clock the dancers, wet.
cold, tired and disillusioned, were
helped off the boat.
They didn't have sea legs; they
didn't have anything.

the four county commissioners so far
have remained silent regarding the Sc
lection of a successor to Sheriff To-
bin. Some Of the commissioners, it is
rcported, favor Chief Van Ripper while
Others are said to favor Captain Ste
vens. II is believed, however, that
Chief Deputy Newton stands as good
a chance for the appointment as either
Of the others.
IL has been pointed out by some at
the courthouse that Captain Stevens.
if Amounted TO the office, would stand
better chance of being elected when
his term exnires. Captain Stevens is
said to be strong politically and could
carry his following with him into the
sheriff's race.
Air OF Expectancy.
In the absence of any definite state
ment from the county judge or com
missioners therefore. the selection Of
a man to succeed Sheriff Tobin will
remain a matter of speculation until
the time comes for the appointment of
the new man. Meanwhile an air Of
expectancy pervades both the sheriff S
office and the police department.
Selection of Chief Van Ripper would
mean that some captain in the de-
partment would succeed him as police
chief. II Captain Stevens be APP
pointed. however, it is generally be-
iieved that some man from the ranks
would succeed him, or it is barely pos
sible that former member of the
department might receive the appoint
ment. Commissioner Phil Wright has
refrained from discussing the matter.

SUICIDE
Tries to Gnaw Through Rope
With Which Seaman
Hanged Himself.

LONDON, Nov. 22.-Gnawing the
fope with her teeth, Elizabeth Clark
seventeen-year-old girl. of Poplar,
London, vainly attempted to save
the life Of Carl Anderson. a sea.
man. who committed suicide by
hanging.
Walking with her young brother,
the girl saw the man hanging in
a disused timber yard. She shrieked
to some men passing to come to
her aid, but they only looked in and
went away.
She told her brother to chase
after them for a knife, but all de-
clared they did not possess such a
thing.
Then, unsuccessfully, she tried to
gnaw the rope through with her
teeth, with the mans great gaping
eyes staring wildly at her all the
time. Finally she found a piece of
tile and sawed through the rope,
but by that time the man was dead.
At the inquest she told the eoro.
ner that she was not frightened
after she saw the mans first stare.
The coroner allowed her a fee of
five shillings for her trouble.
