The unknown man found at Nine

was identified aa John McCabe, 69
years pld, of 188 Twenty-first street,
by members of his family last night.
When Mr. McCabe did not return

his children read an account In Tho

man at the morgue.
Mr. McCabe was an employe of a St.
Johns sawmill, and had left home at

later, while waiting for a street car,
he died.
The body was removed to the Dun

INDIANA BULL MOOSE
BALK AT VOTING FOR
G. 0, P. CANDIDATES
Marion, Ind., Sept. 51. (I. N. S.)
The Republican situation in Indiana la
somewhat precarious.
. The Progressives are divided, but
even those Progressives who are will
ing to accept Hughes are balking at
voting for Harry S. New for United
States senator to succeed Senator
Kern, and James Watson, who is anx
ious to replace Tom Taggart.
New is chairman of the committee
which greased the way for Roose
velt In the Republican convention of
1911, and Watson is of the etandpat
test of standpatters whose name will
be recalled, among other thinga, in
eonneetion with tha Colonel Mulhall
revelations.
Earnest Republicans and Progres
sives who desire Hughes to win are
declaring that the name of Watson
on the same ticket with Hughes is
a menace to the latter's success.
Practically all hope of clecitn Wat
son has been abandoned by the Re
publicans who privately are conceding
Taggart's election.
The Republicans and Progressive
are concentrating all their attention
now on tlie national ticket.
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Mis
sourl are the four states in this sec
tion which are regarded as pivotal, and
inasmuch. p,s both vice presidential
candidates come from Indiana and
there are two United States senators
to be elected as well, the fight in this
state la already at a fever heat.

It is as plain aa the English tan

ton, arguing a demurrer to the peti
tion of Mrs, Alexia Alexander for a
writ of mandamus directing the school
board to reinstate her a principal of
the Benson polytechnic for glrle.
The question at issue is an Inter
pretation of the teachers' tenure In
office law enacted by the 1913 legls-
ature. Attorney Fulton, representing
the school board, pointed- out to the
court that the law provides that per
manent teachers "shall serve in such
City and County Officials Agree to
Divide Expenses.
The city and county. Jointly, will
pay the cost of replacing the Canyon
road sewer, now being removed by
the county road department in the
paving of Canyon road. City and coun
ty officials made an inspection this
morning. It is proposed to tear out
about 400 feet of the sewer in a change
of grade. About 100 feet has already
been blown to pieces by dynamite.
The cost of replacement is estimated
at between $3000 and $4000.

tipon In November, were heard yester
day afternoon at the meeting of the
Fomona grange In the Russellvillo
grange hall. About 100 v;ere present.
Dr. C. H. Chapman, speaking for the
measure, stated that as a land owner
he hl oome to the conclusion that
the measure would Increase the value
of his property and would in no way
affect Its title and also that It would
reduce taxe. i
A. I. Veazie, against the measure, r
stated that the measure, if carried, I
would mean the confiscation of lands
and the farmers would become tenants,
without title, and would also be unable
to borrow money for improvements of .
their farm.
