Mayor Charles H. Kline and James F. Malone will lock Oiorns tomorrow night in a battle for control of the Fifth ward, which has a votinjr strength of 9636, the present registration. Malone, whose con trot of the ward has been exercised through Waul Chairman James C. Smith, will himself contend for the chairmanship against the plan of the administration forces to rout his rule, which has been practically absolute for more than a decade.

Offers Feature Scrap. The Fifth will provide the feature of the 32 elections of ward chairmen in the city tomorrow night. There are other scraps, but all lacking in the wide division of forces that exists in the Fifth, the Hill ward. Much of the city and county poli-tices divide on a Kline-Malone basis. The big gap made hetween the mayor and the former head of council in the Peptemher primaries never developed any tendency to close.

The gap was widened when Kline began his second term by sounding his slogan, "to the victor belongs the spoils," which meant official death to any faithful Malone adherent of prominence on the city payrolls. Smith, Malone's ward chairman, was deposed as secretary of the civil service commission by the mayor's edict, as were others who declined to pull down the Malone colors they had flown. To add to the breach between the pair whose high standing in the local Republican organization was on a par that brought them together in a race for citywide control, Malone broke loose from former moorings to join the Gifford Pinchot camp in the late state fight. Battle Background. The three hascs the mayoralty contest, the mayor edict against Malone adherents, and Malone's flight across the organization border, provides the background for tomorrow's battle.

The result of the conflict is sure to have a marked in-fluenre on local political affairs for next Harry Fieldman, a city assessor, is the entrant on whom the mayor's forces will rely to snatch the Fifth from Malone's. grip. Feldman's friends declare they have confidence that he will be equal to the task. Against this confidence is the declaration of Malone's supporters who the former council head has the fight won. The ward has 33 districts each of which elected four committeemen, making a total of 132 men and women, evenly divided, who will decide the issue.

In the Twenty-ninth ward, former ly Carrick, Fred A. Sacher is promise a contest by Fred Bieah-mer. Bleahmer developed a show of strength within the last few days and his friends yesterday claimed he would be able to defeat Sacher. Sacher originally held the chairmanship under protest, his first election being questioned by an opposite faction, but he waS recognized by the administration which was back of his candidacy. DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS Divorce actions entered in common pleas ccourt yesterday were as follows; Mary E.

Fair against Karl C. Fair. Helena Thornton against Ernest E. Thornton. Thomas Bruwel-heide against Beatrice Bruwelheide.

There are so many "numbers" racketeers in Clairton that they have to wear distinguishing marks so that they von't waste a lot of their time soliciting "numbers" from each other. They even take school children's pennies to be play-ed on the "numbers." This was the complaint of Constable John W. White. Second ward, Clairton, the only constable in the ciunty who reported anything but lily-white purity in his district when constables made their quarterly returns yesterday. Chief of County Detectives Gleorge W.

Murrn, af-er the "blind men's parade." questioned White and ordsied him to bring in a more detinue 'eport, with details and addresses. CLAIM COUNTY STILL IS PURE Quarterly 'Blind Man Parade Fails to Reveal Any Crime. The "Blind Men's" parade came off according to schedule. Nothing occurred to disturb the equanimity of the marchers. The court, when it was all over, heaved a sigh of relief.

To the unenlightened, the "Blind Men's" parade is the quarterly report of the elected constables of the various bailiwicks in Allegheny county as to conditions of vice and crime in their respective territories. As was forecast some time ago. the "Blind Men's" parade revealed that Allegheny county is clean and pure of all vice and crime. That's what the constables reported when they trooped by Judge Joseph M. Swearingen yesterday.

Second Assistant District Attorney Roy T. Clunk injected some of his well-known subtlety after a number of the constables reported nothing in their bailiwicks but a club or two, by asking, "And no other violations?" Sarcasm? Maybe. And for their trouble, each and every one of the constables got $3 and mileage out of the county treasury. Clunk whisrered to six of the constables, however, to see him later in his office. Although Clunk refused to give names, he did divulge that it was claimed one of the constables was accused of selling clearing house numbers, another of selling baseball pool tickets, and that another was drunk.

After they had been given a chance either to deny, or explain. Clunk said, ihey were ushered out, with warnings to watch their steps.
