NOW KEEP OFF THE GRASS.
Work on the State House Ground Be

If the present plans are carried out
the state house grounds viii be very
beautiful when finally completed. The

The drives will be thirty feet in

entrance of the grounds, viii divide.

wings, under the steps Of each wing,

drives around the state house, on the

will be Of the same kind as are now
on the east side of the grounds, flag

A reporter asked one of the members
of the council if there We're to be diago~
nal walks across the grounds, or what
would be provided to keep people from
crossing the grounds and spelling the
grass. This member said these walks
were contemplated, though there was
a possibility OF their not being put in
on account of hurting the general
appearance of the grounds Anyway,
something must be done, itwould seem,
for the people are bound to cross from
the east entrance Of the grounds to the
corner of Tenth and Harrison, even
though it saves very little time and in
lures the grounds.

JACKSON LEADS THE WAY,
Officers Shown to the Spot
Where Pearl Bryan Met
Death.
The Negro Drivers Strange Story
Discredited in His Former
Home.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Feb. 16.-George
Jackson, the negro driver who claims to
have driven Jackson, Walling and Pearl
Bryan to the scene of the Fort Thomas
murder, was put into a conveyance this
morning and told to drive over the same
route he followed on that fatal night
With HIM went a large party of detectives
and newspaper men.
Jackson drove the vehicle over DESC
late route, through mud and brush, and
finally stopped short distance from
where the headless body was found then,
taking a by-path, he led the party directly
to the spot. His wonderful accuracy in
picking his way through the woods in the
dark, coupled with his Identifying the
prisoners last night in crowd of forty
men, lends color to his story, which is
only discredited by his continued silence
for nearly two weeks while the country
was talking of the crime.
Mullen, the livery stable man from
whom the negro Johnson claims the sur
rey he drove Jackson and Walling with
tnelr victim TO the scene of the murder
finds by reference to his books that the
vehicle was rented out on the night of the
murder. An examination of the surrey
tonight disclosed what is believed to be
small bead, exactly like the ones on Pearl
Bryan's hat, was also found in the bottom
of the surrey.
Sentiment is divided as to faith in Jack
sons statements, but nobody accepts it
without hesitation.
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, Feb. 16.-George
ID. Jackson, the negro who claims to have
driven the cab that carried Pearl Bryan to
deaJh, lived here until about the middle of
October. He was, up to about that date,
hostler for DR.. A. H. Vance. Chief of Po-
lice Van Tassel, together with the family
fake, knowing as they do his reputation
as a seeker after notoriety.
Jackson, only few days before he left
headquarters and told wild tale about
being heldup shortly after midnight by
William Melvin, while on his way home
from lodge meeting.
The evidence secured showed that at the
time Melvin was in Washington Court
house, and that watch Jackson claimed
had Eeen stolen was here in one of the
pawnshops.
Police Court Bailiff Johnson stated to-
night that there is charge hanging over
Jackson here now for embezzlement, pre-
ferred by lodge he belongs to, the United
Brethren of Protection
Major Hoover, a well-known citizen said
tonight in commenting on Jackson 8
story: "Jaokson's story is simply absurd.
Why should Doc Jackson and WalIing in
crease their danger by dragging third
and unknown party into the plot, and es-
peclally when he was not needed 2"

That He Is but Engineering
Political Move.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 16.-Chair-
man Frank Willing Leach of the Republi-
can State Executive Committee returned
yesterday from Washington, where he had
been since Thursday, visiting many politi-
clans, including Quay. Being asked to
throw further light on the announcement
of the Senator's candidacy for the Presi-
dency, Mr.. Leach remarked that his busi-
ness in Washington was to get that in
formation.
II have returned home" he said, with
a full understanding Of the programme of
Senator Quay's friends throughout the
country. For three months score of the
Republican leaders OF the several States
have been urging him to permit the use of
his name, but it was not until lew days
ago that he gave his assent"
To the question whether there would be
an aggressive contest in support of Sena-
tor Quay, Chairman Leach replied:
Eyes, the battle is on, and it is a fight to
finish, so far as Quay is concerned.
What learned in Washington was in the
nature of revelation to me. | came in
contact with good many of the leading
mem bers of both houses, as well rs with a
number OF national committeeman and
other Republican leaders outside of Con-
gress, and 1 am satisfied that Colonel
Quay is the first choice of many of them
and the second choice of nearly ALL"
Mr.. Leach emphatically denied that the
Senator's candidacy was merely for the
purpose of holding the Pennsylvania dele
cation together.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 16.-The male
tallors have struck against starvation
wages and bad treatment generally, and
the Government has taken the side of the
strikers, male and female, the female tail
ors and seamstresses having gone out sew

workers are mostly "sweaters."
The Vorwaerts, in an article on the

will weaken the public sympathy which
they now have almost unanimously.
Eight incendiary fires have occurred
within a short period IN the populous
Moabit district of Berlin, and the in
habitants OF the city are greatly alarmed
thereat. Several arrests OF supposed in
cendiaries have been made, but as yet
there is no direct evidence against them.
In each case combustible material satu-

the buildings set on fire. The fires are at
