tors.

 

The Democratic caucuses and city
convention were held last evening.
and the dove of peace hovered over
all of the sessions hold in the various
wards and the convention in the
council chambers. city hall. No con-
tests “ere reported in any of the
wards.

At the city convention Town
Chairman Harold T. Murray presid-
ed as the chairman and Adolf Basia
secretary of the town committee act-
ed as the secretary.

In a brief statement. Town Chair~
man Murray stated that it was his
desire to make 300 new Democratic
voters before the state election and
that he intended to see that this do-
slre was fulfilled. He stated that up
to the time that the women re-
ceived the right to vote. the Demo-
cratic party in this state was
gradually going to the front. but
that from that time on the Republi-
can party stood out in front. lie
was of the opinion that the Repub-
lican women had shown more en-
thusiasm in exercising the privilege
that had been granted them. He
said that there were a great many
Democratic women who had never
been made voters and suggested that
the various ward leaders check over
their mens’ list with the womens'
list and see Just how many had not
been made voters and than endeavor
to sign up these women. He will
meet with the first ward during the
present week and will attend a Joint
meeting of the: second third nod
”fifth wgard committees. Thursday evao
IT m E a
‘ Etna; Town Chairman William
J. Devlne said he thought that there
should be a change in the selection
of delegates to the city conventions.
He was of the opinion that the pri.
mary rules should be changed so
that one delegate would be selected
for every 200 votes east at the pre-
vious election. instead of one dele-
gate to every 100 votes. He suggest-
ed that this matter be brought up
at the next city convention. No ac-
tion waejtaken on the matter.

Resolution 0f Emmy.

A resolution of sympathy in the
death of Town Chairman Joseph J.
Linxweiier was passed by the con-
vention. Similar resolutions were
passed at the second district caucus

tary Miss Elsie Williams and in the

I

At the office of the second tax-
ing district in the City Hall the
accounting force is still at work on
the straightening out of the books
kept by Percy G. Dunn and Arthur

Sterling. clerks who embezzled funds
estimated at $15,000 or more. The
case has not been called for court
hearing and is being continued from
day to day until next Monday. when
it is probable that it will be bound
over to Superior Court since the
amount places the trial outside the
jurisdiction of local courts.

Following yesterday's report that
Dunn‘s accounts had been complet-
ed and a figure of about $9,000
established as the amount he milk-
ed from the funds. the question was
raised as to whether he would be
able to make full restitution. as was
claimed by Attorney Paul R. Con-
nery. counsel for the district com-
missioners. It is said that liquida-
tion of his assets and those posted
to cover his de election would not
reach the umo t by $2.000.

The figure set for Dunn makes
improbable that the full embezzle-
ment will come within the 816.000
estimate when Sterling's accounts
are fully audited. Official informs.
lion indicated that Sterling's dofaioa.
tion was the larger of the two and
that his bond was set at $810,000 in
comparison to *the 83.000 for Darin.
It is known that his operations cover
four years as against Danu's three.
His counsel. Judge George R. Vos‘
burgh. states. however. that he will
make full restitution.
