THE Ohio Legislature has passed law
that imposes fine of from 81 to $40
upon a manager of any theater, concert
hall or other place of entertainment
wherever an admission fee is charged, for
permitting woman to wear hat suffi-
GENTLY large to obstruct the view of per-
sons sitting behind her. Every hat per-
mitted to be worn in violation of the
law will constitute a separate ohense.
This is good law, and the Ohio Solons
deserve credit for taking the initiatory in
the matter. When a person goes to
theater he wants to see what is done on
the stage, but, with high hat just in
front of him, this is impossible.

SHOT HIMSELF
Because He Couldn't Marry Without
Breaking His Oath.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 3l.-John
Schweitzer, young German laborer,
shot and killed himself yesterday after
noon at the home of his sister, Mrs. John
Lang, 1916 Story avenue, and until to-day
it was regarded as an ordinary suicide,
the result of dependency. 1t has de-
veloped, however, that love and the
A. P. A. were behind the affair.
Schweitzer was a member of the order,
and his sweetheart, Miss Lule Scherzin-
ger, is a Catholic, and his oath made it
impossible for him to marry her. He
regarded his oath before his love for her,
and to settle all blew out his brains.

TO HAVE A LITTLE INDIANA.
Novel Plan Outlined for the Hoosier States
Centennial Celebration.

Centennial Celebration.
The executive committee of the In
diana state centennial commission
was in session for several hours
In Indianapolis the other day at the
governors parlors considering matters
in connection with the celebration of
the Tooth anniversary of Indiana's emer-
gence from q territorial government.
Some months ago the commission in
vited suggestions from citizens OF tbs
state regarding the best plan to make
the centennial representative of the
states progress, and hundreds Of let
tiers have been received. many OF them
making kindred suggestions, but Others
Offering novel plans. Aplan under con-
siderstion was that a tract Of land Be
laid of near the city, its form beingex
sctly that Of the state of Indiana. It Is
proposed that this park be divided on
into counties as the state is, and that
each county put up a county building.
It is suggested that the free gravel
roads, the railroads, the rivers and the
lakes be shown in the park. It issug.
gested also that IN the center Of this
park a high tower be erected, from
which visitors could get bird's-eye
view of what viii be reproduction in
miniature of the state. Another suG-
gestlon is that. in addition to the gas
exhibit at the centennial, display Of
coal should be made in the form Of
a coal palace, inside of which can be
shown the improved machinery used

Old Man Comes Back to His Childhood
Home After Years of Wandering.
There came to Syracuse, n. Y, the
other day a man who has long been sur
posed to be dead. Clad in overalls, old
fashioned long-tailed coat, wooden
shirt, SLOUGH hat, with every appearance
Of tramp, and carrying a pack that
told of his vocation, that of a peddler,
he dropped around to see his friends Of
40 or so years ago. He was Edward A.
Wood, grandson of Gen. Thaddeus NJ.
Wood, one of the early settlers, big land
owners and first lawyers Of Onondaga
county. He found waiting for him q
legacy of s., 200, with interest. 1t had
been waiting for him for years in the
hands of the county treasurer. Wood
is now rs years old. Since leaving SYRIA
cuse he has travelled widely, putting in
q good deal of time in California. He
once made fortune and lost it. An ad-
venturous chapter of his life is found in
the Mexican rebellion. There Is also
5000 here awaiting Woods brother,
Theodore, wherever he may be.

CASE OF LIEUT.. PEARY.
Speculation Regarding Action Of
Navy Impairment
The Explorer Fails to Erpi.in Why He
Was Placed on Waiting Orders-A
Friend Hints at q Possible
Lecture Tour.

A New York Times special rom
Washington says: There is much mys-
terry surrounding the detachment Oh
Civil Engineer Feary from the BROOK
lyn navy yard, and the action OF the
navy department In placing that otficer
on waiting orders. The denial from
Exeter. N. h, to the effect that Lieut..
Peary has plans for another polar ex-
nca,tion has not made the matter any
more clear.
The detachment of Mr.. Peary from
duty was not accomplished in the reg
ular fashion. The navy department. has
its routine for doing everything, III
orders follow one system, and ell ousi-
ness pursues an established channel.
The orders which affect civil engineers
for instance would naturally come
through the bureau of yards and docks
under which bureau such officers ere
stationed. Orders may originate with
the secretary or at the navy yards or
in the bureau to which the duty per-
tains In the Peary orders this routine
was omitted, and the bureau people
know nothing or the ofuers oeyon'
what has been published In the papers
There has been much speculation
among navy department people regard.

FIRES LAST NIGHT,
Two Residences PARTIALLY Burned-eOOd
Work of the Firemen.

Two Residences Partially Partially Burned-GOod
Work of the Firemen.
The residence Of Mr.. VIM. Camp.
bell, o Military plaza commission
merchant, at the G2rner Of Dwyver
avenue'and Guilbeau street, was dis.
covered to be on fire last night at
ii 40 and q telephone alarm was
sent to the fire department. The
response was prompt and the fire
was quickly subdued, although it
had gained considerable Roadway
in the rear before Mr.. Campbell
discovered it. Mrs. Campbell,
who Is an invalid, was moved to
the residence Of Mr.. Bennett,
across the street. 1t Is thought
the fire was Of incendiary origin.
The residence Is insured.
At 2 o'clock this morning the
entire department was summoned
to the residence Of Mrs. II. B. An
drews, which occupies half the
block between Camden and Dallas
streets, which was found to be
burning. The house is very
large, two-story frame and was &C.
cupied until yesterday morning by
Gen. n. B. Sweitzer and family,
who left yesterday for Washing
ton. A couple Of domestics occu-
pied the servants room and Mrs.
Andrews brother occupied one
room. He had lighted an oil lamp
and placing 1t on a stand In his
room went to sleep on the gallery
roof. 1t is supposed the lamp over
turned and caused the fire.
When the firemen arrived, and
1t was quickly the entire build
ing seemed doomed, as the fire had
communicated to the garrets and
had spread over the entire north
side upstairs. By extraordinary
good work, however, the building
was saved with the damage con-
fined to the upper floors, though q
great deal of'very fine furniture
was scorched or spoiled by water.
The house and contents were in
Sured.
At 5 10 o'clock this morning the
firemen were again called to the
Campbell residence where the fire
had broken out afresh. This was
quickly extinguished.

Visitors to See the Storm Wreckage Loss
to Property Reduced.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-The
work Of clearing up the debris and
repairing. the damage left by
Wednesdays storm continues with
undated vigor, despite drizzling
rain, that has been falling all
NOR ming, making the work I'M
comfortable for the workers and
victims alike. All day yesterday
teams bad been donated to the use
of the storm sufferers and helped
many to move from their dis.
mantled homes to places OF securi-
ty and shelter, and this good work
still goes on without cessation.
Great numbers Of people are re-
ceiving aid at the different depots
in the way Of food, clothing and
household necessities, that have
been donated by the charity OF st.
Louis.
The best news OF the day was
that the occupants OF the demolish-
ed city hospital, 40 or so of whom
were reported as still under the
ruins last week, are all accounted
for. Roll call disclosed this fact
today.
A meeting has been called for to.
morrow to consider the advisable
ity of calling for outside relief for
the sufferers.
A list of 120 persons missing in
st. Louis since the storm is in the
hands Of the police. Many among
them are people from outside st.
Louis who were visiting here or
who had business in town. Search
Is being carried on for all these
among the ruins Of the wrecked
building.
Many thousands of people from
the surrounding country who
came to st. Louis yesterday to see
the great city partially destroyed
by the storm, have left for their
homes, but hundreds still remain.
In East st. Louis 1t is estimated
at least 100000 people visited the
ruins and there were terrible cries
at the depot Sunday night when
they started to return home.
The trains were inadequ ate to
accommodate the multitude and
many had to remain there over
night. In East st. Louis the work
of relieving many homeless and
destitute persons is being carried
on rapidly and everywhere build.
ings are being repaired and the
debris removed to facilitate the re-
construction of residences, stores,
etc.
An official estimate Of the loss to
shipping has not yet been made
and will not be until the submer-
ged boats have been examined.
The first estimates of S2,000,000
has dwindled down to less than
halfa million and the chances are
these figures will be reduced ma
