DOUBTS AS TO THE DATE.
Difference of opinion as to When
Ohio Became a State.

Difference of opinion as to When
Ohio Became a State.
There ia some doubt as to the exact datr
upon which Ohio became state. Ohio
never was separate territory" being Il
part Of the northwest territory. In 1901
the people living in the portion of the
northwest territory now embraced in the
state of Ohio called convention to frame
a state constitution for the district which
had set up claim to statehood under
the provisions of the fifth article of the
ordinance of 1887. That convention met
In Chillicothe on Nov. l, 1909, and on
Nov. 90 completed its work. Tho consti
tuition thus framed was not submitted to
the people, but was declared ratified by
the convention ITSELF
On Feb. II, 1903, the United States con.
gress passed an act admitting Ohio into
the Union as q state, said act becoming
operative upon the assembling Of the first
state legislature at Chillicotho The first
state legislature met at Chillicothe at 1C
q. m. Tuesday, March /, 1903, and both
houses Immediately organized.
Thus there are three dates about which
opinions may differ as to the exact initial
period of Ohio statehood. They are Nov
80, 1909, when the constitution was per
fected and ratified; Feb. II, 1908, wher
congress passed the act admitting Ohio
and March /, 1903, when the Legislature
assembled and organized Tho latter date
appears to have the greatest claim in view
of the language Of the act of congress ant
the organization Of the legislature. Thu

WANTS THE MAYOR lMPRACHED.

Preacher Makes Sensational Charges
. Against Atlanta's Chief Executive.
Atlanta, June 19.-In sensational
sermon last night DR.. L. G. Broughton,
pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, called
upon the city council to impeach
James G. Woodward, mayor Of At
lanta. DR.. Broughton said the chief
executive was a confessed gambler, a
libertine, a sot, and disgrace to the
CITY," At these words a part of the
audience of about 1000 people cheered.
In the course Of his remarks DR..
Broughton said
when the mayor was member Of
an important committee to go to Wash
ington on the matter Of the federal
prison site he was drunk most of the
time, and there were other things that
occurred in connection with him that
I hesitate to mention from the pulpit.
He should be impeached at once. II
the members Of the city council do not
impeach him I shall take steps my
self. No such man has right to be
mayor of this city. The situation is
indecent and disgraceful."
Mayor Woodward, when informed of
DR.. Broughton's remarks, said: II re-
gard the statements Of DR.. Broughton
as ridiculous. | ask the public to sus-
pend judgment"

iHE PEACE CONFERENCE
Germany's Emperor Probably Pos
Ing For Historical Eject.
LOOKS BRIGHTroR ARBITRATION

Should the Emperor Refuse Any Sort
of a Tribunal the Conference May
Go on without Him-He VIII Prob
ably Withdraw His Objections.
London, June 19.-The correspondent
Of The Times at The Hague, who
thinks the outlook for the peace con-
ference promising, says: Emperor
William is a born dramatist. He does
not like to see such an important event
az the peace conference pass by with
out imprsssing his own stamp on It,
and, most likely, when DR.. Zorn re-
turns all will 90 we'll"
The correspondent of The Daily
News at The Hague says: DIR. Zorn.
whom Emperor William summoned
on Friday by special messenger, ar
rived in Berlin Saturday morning, &C.
compauied by Mr.. Hollis, Of the Uni
ted States delegation. They only had
time for breakfast, and at 10 o'clock
where instant admission was granted
them by the kaiser himself, who was
waiting for them. They had further
audience of his majesty yesterday and
left Berlin on their return to The
Hague last evening.
"They were appointed joint mes
sengers Of the conference because they
had become intimate friends since they
met here. DR.. Zorn speaks very little
English, but Mr.. Hollis speaks Ger
man perfectly.
"If Emperor William refuses any
sort of tribunal the conference will
probably go on without him, but his
openly hostile attitude would arouse
protests in Germany, and Mr.. Hollis
has probably taken the liberty OF
pointing out the deplorable effect this
would have in the civilized world. The
emperor is amenable to the religious
argument, and perhaps this will be the
lever that will move him. At any rate,
If the worst comes to the worst the
conference will invite him to sign the
convention, with reservation about
the tribunal, pledging himself only to
use the peace conference procedure
in an eventual arbitration"
