Tex.—For getting the goods quickly, there’s nothing like the recall. Dallas has Just recalled four school board members, and even before the votes had been tabulated. Arthur Le- Fevre, the superintendent of schools, whose personality was an issue in the campaign, had resigned. And back to private life went Clar ence Lane, president of the school board a manufacturer; and these trustees: Herbert Ardrey, a banker; Lou Wright, contractor; Sheron Bonner, lawyer. Their places on the board were tak en by Edward Belsterling, president, a lawyer, and these trustees: W. A. Goode, union painter; M- A. Turner, DEADLOCK 111 COLORMO HAS NOT BEEN BROKEN Battle Expected to Be Waged Unceasingly From Noon to Midnight Saturday (By JUeocikted Pre»«.l DENVER. Colo.. May That the fight to elect a successor to the late Uni ted States Senator Charles J. Hughes, Jr., will be waged unceasingly today from noon until midnight, the hour for the final adjournment of the legislature, with a probability that the deadlock of the last 120 days will be found unbroken at the finish, were the indications at the beginning qf the last day of the 18th general assembly. DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY. Efforts to bring the Democratic ma jority of the legislature to an agreement on the senatorship last night proved un availing. A caucus called by the chair man of the Democraftic joint confer ence committee was attended by 36 of the 66 Democrats in the assembly. , Os these, 33 voted for Mayor Robert W. Speer,/ of Denver, the other three scat tering their votes. Another caucus, called by the support ers of former Gov. Alva Adams, of Pueb lo, admittedly for the purpose of prevent ing the attendance of a legislative ma jority—6l—at the regular caucus, was attended by 28 Democrats, 2 Democratic legislators holding aloof from both cau ' cuses. The Adams forces signified their i willingness to enter into caucus with I the regulars, provided Mayor Speer with drew as a candidate. This was refus ed. Later each caucus appointed a con ference committee of five, which met without reaching any understanding. Shortly after midnight both adjourned, with the only development the acquisition of four new votes by Speer. On the eve of the final suruggle, 33 Democrats stand on the platform of “Speer or nobody,” and 28 Democrats declare “nobody rather than Speer.” Un der existing condktlons either faction is strong enough to prevent an election. The 34 Republican members of the leg islature. with whom rests the balance of power, have consistently refused to give aid of any kind to either of the Democratic factions in the senatorial contest. THIS TOWN BUILDS GATES TO KEEP OUT THE COWS M’COMB. Miss.. May s.—Mammoth gates are being erected across the high ways leading into this town at the cor porate limits for the purpose of keeping wandering country cows from rambling tnrougb the streets.

GABTBB. real estate dealer, and Frank Gilbert, merchant This recall election—the second in Dallas—was a real demonstration or peopled power. Last August the peo ple recalled Trustees George and Mann and installed J. D. Carter and J. B. McCraw in their places. George ana Mann nad been members of the Lane crowd. This faction has fired some teachers in star-chamber session, with out giving them a hearing or even knowledge of what charges were against them. The people recalled Mann and George as a rebuke and hoped the board would brace up. But the "gang” didn't heed the warning. After McCraw and Carter took their seats they became sponsors for charges against Superintendent LeFevre, which grew out of their campaign for elec tion. He was accused of smoking ci garette frequenting saloons and of dis placing the merit system by tne spoils system in the appointment and promo tion of teachers. McCraw and Carter were helpless, be ing a minority. The Lane faction de cided to give Superintendent LeFevre a nice coat of whitewash. A mass meeting was then held, at which the recall of the board majority was decided upon. A ticket was named to back up Carter and McCraw. The name adopted was "Merit System league.” And the voters settled it by recalling the four. After the merit league got under way, the Lane crowd circulated recall petitions -against Carter and McCraw, the reform members. The voters set tled that, too. by turning down the ‘gang’ again. n.

WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 6,-Col. W. C. Bun and Capt. W. H. Trawick, of Cedartown, are here to protest againat ■the demoralization of the mail service in Polk county through the "economical ef forts” of General Hitchcock, who proposes the abolition of two rural routes. They will appear before Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Degraw ■tomorrow, in company with Representa tive Gordon Lee. The poatoffice department is bent upon "economizing" in Polk county by con solidating several of the rural routes. Postoffice inspectors spent some time in the county, "investigating” the situa tion and naturally enough their recom mendation conforms with the purposes of the postmaster general to lessen the cost of the rural routes even if it crip ples the service. The people of Polk county are in arms against the recommended changes and hundreds of patrons'of the service have petitioned the department. It is claimed that the abolition of the two routes, which will net a saving of only $1,200 annually, will inconvenience hundreds of people. "Many of the people have purchased land and erected homes along estab lished rural routes that the department now proposes to abolisn, ’ said Captain Trawick today. "We think this is an injustice and we propose to appeal di rectly to the head of the rural route system.” FIDDLERS’ CONVENTION HELD AT CARTERSVILLE ACWORTH, Ga., May 6—A big fiddlers' convention at Cartersville yesterday was participated In by a large number of old-time fiddlers from several counties, and the contest was a spirited one.
