Costigan On Line Ready To Step Into Contest QUAYLE REMAINS OUT Democratic leaders may be searching for candidates for common pleas judge at the August primary on that ticket, but they are not being forced to beat the bushes for candidates for sheriff. Prospects of having at least three democrats in the sheriff's contest are strong, for two have announced and a third is right up to the line ready to step Into the ring. This potential candidate is Thomas M. Costigan, former assignment commissioner at the courthouse. Costigan said today he is not vet ready to announce, practically admitting that he is a candidate with the exception of formal announcement.

Costigr.n was democratic nominee for sheriff in 1924 and was beaten by Chris Weaver in his first campaign. Watchful Waiting Then there is 'Villson B. Smith, secretary to Mayor G. Lloyd Weil, who takes the stand that he could be induced to run for sheriff if democratic leaders figured none of the democrats who file by June 13 could give the republican nominee a good battle. Smith is former county detective, and has said he will not file a strong democratic candidate comes out.

This Is not exactly complimentary to Cornelius Yannan and Fred Yes-ter, the democrats already in the tace for sheriff. Yarman, especially, feels hurt that democratic leaders do not figure him as a leading contender for sheriff, as he was one of strong supporteis in the mayor's campaigns. Quayle Not Running Prosecutor Don isham will have one opponent, on the republican ticket in the primary, but immediate prospects of a second were quashed today by announcement from Walter Quayle that he will not oppose Lsham. Quayle was a member of the city civil service commission in the Rybolt administration. "Isham is running for a second term and I will not oppose him for it," Quayle said.

"I expect to be a candidate in two years, however." Nelson Hovey, with law offices in the Everett building, has announced his candidacy to oppose lsham. He was admitted to 'he bar in 1926 and practiced for two years with Andrew J. Wilhelm, before opening his own office. Ray Hamlin, attorney and real estate man, emerged today as a prospective candidate for legislature. He said that he will decide definitely later whether he will make the race.

Hamlin is a republican and was city clerk for two teims, starting in 1903, before he entered practice of law. If he runs he will be getting into a race that has nine candidates at present and that many more figuring on running. Many Arc Mentioned Efforts of democratic leaders to round up judgeship material to keep Judge E. D. Fritch company in the primary have brought out the names of men prominent in party and civic affairs, but have resulted in no actual candidacy announcements.

The names mentioned include those of Robert Guinther, president the chamber of commerce, Joseph Thomas, past president of the bar association; Cletus Roetzcl, former county prosecutor, A. B. Underwood, city law director; Dow Harter, former U. S. commissioner and Charles T.

Stahl, former member of the board of education. Roetzel, Guinther and Thomas have ruled themselves out of political contests this year, but the others have not yet said what they will do. AKRON TROOPS WAIT CALL TO PEN RLA2E Local National Guard In Readiness But Not Ordered To Columbus Akron national guard companies awaited a call to the fire at Ohio penitentiary at Columbus last night. When word of the disaster at the prison went out through newspaper extras and radio, more than 250 members of the infantry companies hurried to the armory, in anticipation of a call. They waited but no orders, not even one to "stand by," came through.

TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE MANSFIELD, April 22. (AP)-Anthony Patalano, 21. and William Seely, 23, have escaped from Mansfield reformatory, officials of the Institution announced. BITS of LIFE By the Associated Prrss N' TEW YORK. Miss Natalie Potter, the Junior league, who has al actress since her debut and is "Those We Love," is engaged to son of Dr.

and Mrs. Louis W. Ladd IN SHERIFF RACE and was been of pHREE hours after Pietro Cafarelli, 39, or 204 Division kissed his wife and five children goodby behind the grim walls of the state penitentiary yesterday, death, moving on wings of flame, ended the plans under way to obtain his pardon. As if warned by some strange premonition of the Impending disaster, Cafarelli, No. 48462, begged for his family to come and see him.

Penniless, the wife and children were unable to make the trip, but yesterday, a brother-in-law, John Damicone of Ravenna, drove the family to Columbus for what proved to be their rendezvous with death. "We saw dad about 12 o'clock," Adeline, 16, Cafarelli's daughter said today. "And we were with him until 3:30. It was the first time in five Man About Town Broadway's Hot Spot A Girl's Story 'PHE gayest of the Heartacre Square asylums is the Abbey on 54th st. just this side of the canyon.

It is where the night loafers pause with their magdalens before going home to their wives, after they have filled themselves elsewhere with Wyoming Ketchup. The syncopation never ceases from 11 p. m. until the following dawning, for when Jerry Friedman's tooters have failed to exhaust the tireless fox-trotters, they are replaced by the Croonaders, a trio of mad musicians, who sing and noof as well. Between dances several models parade in their beads.

The Abbey, then is Broadway's hottest spot, and not until all the have pulled dt.vn their blinds does to capacity, its audience changes at least twice before the curfew law for other clubs drives the late comers into the Abbey. In a corner surrounded by men who are tailors, but who spend, droops a lass who was the class of the street less than a year ago. The market she will say, made her what she is today, but some of us know that It was a lad she adored. Still beautiful, and gowned in last year's smart frocks, she keeps making believe that she still is in the dou, and although she has run the rainut of Broadway emotions you hope for her, "IF I only had some decency left," she says without whining. "If only I could hold my head high again I wouldn't regret a thing.

I don't care what they are saying about my past. It isn't that. I know I am not on the hop any more. But they are now saying I go for those Harlem brownskins and Japs and Chinkies and it is almost killing me. I wouldn't be so desperate now if I could get myself to care for a white man, but they are too cruel when they link my name with the others.

I've got to like a feller that's whv I'm broke. This street sure has been unkind to me and I was a good guy when I had it, too." One of the boys who was on the make a year ago joined her table. He had heard that she was having a difficult time of It. "What d'y'say, baby?" he cooed, "how about you getting to like me for a change and let me be nice to you. I need affection and you need coin.

You know I can give you enough dough to keep those other wolves from your door." And so saying he brought out his checkbook and wrote one for Jli-000. SHE looked at the good-as-platinum draft as he prepared it. Then she placed it on the table before her. "That's a lotta money, daddy," she said with a forced smile. "Mama could' do plenty with all that gold.

Mama could pay off the old mortgage at the hotel and respect from the clerk and bell-bos, and from the assistant manager, who wanted to put me out last night because I wouldn't be sociable. Mama sure could be happy for a little while, you bet. But I can't take it from you. I Just can't. You wouldn't be a good guy and loan It to me for a hile? I mean until I could pay you back, would you.

please?" "I hate to keep books, sweetheart," he countered, "I sure hate to keep books. I've got a crush on you, honest. Let me love you. Live for the moment, you never know what will happen tomorrow." She ripped the check Into bits and dropped the pieces on the table. "I've got to powder my nose," she said, "I'll see you later." And then she left the room.

"What a chump!" whispered the eavesdropper at the next table. "I can't believe my eyes," chirped another startled wisey. "She slays me," chimed in another, "and she's so broke!" When she returned to the night club proper the bargain-maker had focused his attentions on another woman. "Sit here," we said, "sit here until he comes baek." "Oh, he won't be back," she answered, "but I'll sit here a while. Golly, you sure have been kind to me all these years.

You could have written plenty, couldn't you? I want to thank you." "Don't be a pansy," we said, "you're a nice girl." "If I only had some decency left, Walter. If I only had some decency left."

Visits Penitentiary The letter further stated that Roet-zel visited the penitentiary and talked with Cafarelli, Warden P. E.

"We have a lot of names signed to a paper asking the governor to let dad come home," Adeline rejoiced. "Dad said to keep up our courage and some day he will be home with us. What do you think?" Outside the little one-story frame building which sets high above a crooked, unpaved street, two peach trees were in blossom. The delicate fragrance of their colorful petals hovered in the breath of the bright spring morning. A small patch of yard was green with growing things.

"Come home? Oh Some day we hope just now I couldn't really say. We'll come back when your mother is at home." The reporter's voice was hurried. He stepped from the house and Adeline slowly closed the door. Mexicans Kidnap American Doctor WASHINGTON, April 22. (INS) Dr.
