Tlie accident it was said, was caused'
by a rear tire blowing out while the!

the two Injured were present It was
impossible yesterday to obtain an ac?

In view of the fact that young l'nr-j

II.- announced that his Jury will meet
tins morning at in o'clock at the City

Martin Is to be the principal witness, j
and his condition developed to he more
SCtiOUS than at M.-t supposed, it Is |
probable that the inquiry will be de?
ferred Until either he or Robertson re

Vacancies.
In order not to crabarrua.i the City
Council or force a hurried election of
Muvot without due consideration, It 1?
probable tiiut Mayot Richardson win
defer qualiiylng a? Judge of th< llust
iiu,-. Court f->f the present, so that the
election of his successor will be .it the
hands of the Incoming Council after
September I. The commission as judge
win not be Issued until next week oy
Governor Mann, who ha* merely noti?
fied the Mayor of his intention "f mak?
ing iti. appointment vfter the com?
mission is Issued t!i?' Stayor will have
thirty days In which to quality. I
Judge Souths)!, who i* now sitting in
the Hustings Court, has appointed .vug
? fbi hearing certain tux ??.n.es brought
by State Auditor C I.e. Moore against
the city of Richmond, and since the
city Is a party In th. Be coses. It Is
regarded as desirable that they be
beard by an out-of-town Judge. Even
were Mayor Richardson t" qualify at
once, i- is probable ?-. at he would ask
that another Judge designated to
hear these eases.
Mayor Rlchardsop also has an en?
gagement ot two years' standing to at?
tend a convention of Knight- of I'ythlas I
in Denver early in August, and had j
planned to leave hero Saturday on thai
trip, which would probably kec|> him j
out of th- city until about August 20.
Hi has taken no vacation this summer. |
and he and Mrs. Rh hurdson had an-;
tlclpated taking the tr!;- to louver as
their summer vacation. While the new
appointment nukes it uncertain >
whether he can go to Denver, the
Mayor Is Inclined, if it is practicable, j
to carry out the plan. !
As pointed out in Tlie Tlm.s-D.spatch .
yesterday, the law provides that the!
president >?' the Board of Aldermen
may only servo as Mayor In the ab?
sein ? ? of the Mayor from the city or In I
case if Iiis gtckhess or inability, b?t |
there Is no provision by which lh0 prea- j
Idem of the Board of Aldermen may]
serve In the rise of the death or res- j
Ignatlotl of the Mayor. When an actual
Vacancy Is created. In order to Ob?
viate thr necessity of holding an else-,
tloti at the hands of the present Coun- i
ell for tlie short term of loss than a
month between now and August 31,
with another election at the hands or ]
the Incoming Council. M.iynr Richard
son is Inclined to hold his present office,
taking- his vacation trip as planned, j
leaving- President Robert Whlttct, Ot I
the Hoard of Aldermen, as acting;
Mayor, and not presenting his resigna?
tion until about August '-'.*? follow- I
Iny the tax cases, the Hustings Court
will lie in vacation for some time. and. I
with other Judges In the city who can j
act in emergencies; it is held that no
harm would he done to the public ser- J
vice by the delay. The incoming Coun
Hell could then elect a Mayor a:- S'ion as
possible after Its organization on Rep- I
tetnber 1. that election to hold good ]
until a Mayor Is elected by the people j
in the manner provide,! t>y law and has j
properly qu?lifted.
< Olm.11 Must I licet.
In the election by t .? Council, no
member of either branch of tin Coun- \
cil would be eligible Several members
Hof th.- Council nr? ambitious In regard !
to the mayoralty. There has I.n an
effort to see If some plan could not be
devised by which Judge Soutliull could
Issue a writ for a special ilcctlon to
lie held early In the fall, thus allowing
any citizen to announce his candlJacy.
"No special election can be held,'
stated city Attorney Pollard yesterday
afternoon, when his attention was
called to the report that Judge SouthaU
might Issue a writ for an eleCtlan for
Mayor. "The city charter was specif?
ically amended to lift us out of that
dlflli ulty.
The,,. is n0 dp?bt |n tho world about
the fact that tiie Council must elect
the Mayor in the eyent of a vacancy,
and that that election muri hoi,] un?
til tli. next succeeding general election
in which a Mayor may be legally
elected. Since by the Constitution a
Mayor may not be elected with other i
city officers in the fall election, It
necessarily follows that tili next sue- j
ceedlng general election In which a
Mayor may he legally elected will bo
the Council election on th.- second
Tu. day in June, l;.] j.
"The charter of the city was amended i
by action of the General Assembly to
avoid the v,.|y difficulty of calling spc- |
clal elections. It will be recalled Hint'
when Mr Phillips, th, l?tc City Treas?
urer, died, the office was declared va?
cant, and Judge Witt issued a will for
an election held on December '.a. In
that election Mr. Pace was selected.
Questions of who were eligible to
vote, poll tax requirements, registration
lawn and other considerations showed
special elections on other than too
dates of the general elections to he
1 undesirable, and the charter was there?
after amended. In the more recent
icase of the death of City; Collector Frank
W. Cunnlgham. who held an nl6ct<v?
ofllie. the City Council In Joint session

A meeting of the general committee

1 day afternoon at the business* Men h
Club. President \V. T, Reed stated
after tin meeting tHat plans had been
Perfected for an active campaign !n

huii received the recommendation ot
the organisation. The candidates in?
dorsed were Messrs Carl ton McCarthy,
Henry 1>. Beck, W. H. Zimmermann,
Marx 'iunst and Kdnar H l-erguason.
Sorho weeks ago the ticket or slate,
selected by the Citizens' Aaaoclatlon
I was announced, and since then but little !
has be.n heard of the organization,
though It 's stated that it has booh
? luietly at work securing members. It
Is stated that the Association Is an
entirely patriotic body, having no n.\e
to grind. It appeared early in th..
campaign for the Administrative Board,
I that some of the candidates then in
I the Ib id were men of little experience
in business affairs, who bad little con?
ception of the large burdens and re-I
BponslbllttleS to )>.? placid on the
shoulders of the new Administrative 1
Board The fear was expressed that {
wer. the vote of the business element
Mattered ov.r the ten or a dozen can?
didates regarded ns realty eligible, it
might be so split up that when the
returns were all In. It would be found]
that the -'uslness men had spent their
energies uselessly, and thai the city
employ.., had fleet.<i a ticket made
up largely of those who would not I
demand a dollar's worth of work for |
each dollar's pay.
To meet this situation th.- CR'zens'
Association wan formed; Its committees
canvassed the Held and recommended
live of the name." as these of people ;
oh whom the business men of the
city could center.
As might have been expected, there
was .in Immediate and vigorous re?
action. Friends of oth.r eligible can?
didate* proceeded tn effect * sort <.f
independent organization, which "ti
aome cases, promises well for results
on election day. Among the city em?
ployes th.-n wiis Immediate resent?
ment, and the cry was raised that a
j clique of tuen was attempting to con
? t r..l the vote of the city Certain
I employes of the city, notably In the
j Water and Street-Cleaning Depart?
ments, have been active In a move
! rrtent to induce voter.? to pledge them
Selvet to vote against every man oh
the citizens' ticket, regardless of merit.
President I'.eed did not outline In
detail the plan v>f campaign of the
association to counteract these efforts
to weaken Its ticket, but stated ti.it
from this tlm. oh It would be a vigor?
ous w.rklni! body, seek trig earnestly
to '.enter attention of the thinking
