NO PENALTY.
Factory Owners Can Exclude
Shop Inspectors With
out Punish me mt.

Columbus, o., June 1.-Shop Inspec-
tor Knaub has had trouble with Gin
cinnati manufacturing firm, which re-
fused to admit the deputy inspectors
of the department to enter its factory
and which also failed to comply with
orders given by inspectors. Attorney
General Sheets was asked for advice
in the matter, and he finds that the
law provides no penalty for refusing a
shop inspector admission to factory.
The law declares that the inspectors
must be admitted, but provides no
means tor its own enforcement. The
attorney general suggests that proceed
ings in mandamus be brought to cola
pei the manufacturers to admit state
workshop inspectors to their factory.

Mansfield, O., June 1.-The fifty-1ve
Richland county delegates to the Re

held at Medina next Wednesday were
in session all of Thursday afternoon
and night and un,il 4 o'clock yesterday
morning in a vain endeavor to settle
upon one candidate whom the county
might solidly support at the Medina
convention. The delegates of the three
candidates from Richland stuck to their
men, and none of the three candidates
manifested any disposition to release
their delegates. Former Mayor Hunt
ington Brown, of this city, entered the
caucus of the county delegation with a
majority of the delegates, but during
the greater part of the balloting Col,
onel ID. l.. Cockley, Of Shelby, had the
larger vote.

MAJOR BAIRD TALKS
He Delivers the Principal Ad-
dress at the Commence
ment Exereises--An
Immense Crowd.

The largest audience which has ever
attended a Boxwell commencement in
the county gathered in the high school
assembly room Saturday morning to
witness the presentation of their diplo-
mas to SS pupils who had been success
full at the examinations. A large num-
ber of parents, friends and interested
teachers was present and the audience
was increased by the presence of rs or
more applicants for teachers certif-
Gates whose examinations were sus-
pended to allow them to attend the ex-
ercises.
The exercises consisted simply Of
addresses and the presentation of the
diplomas. Major Baird, president of
the Canton board of education, made
the principal address and eloquently
pleaded for higher education and the
value of higher mental and moral
standards. His words of advice AMI
encouragement were received with the
closest attention. A cultivated mind.
integrity. energy and industry he said
were the source of all great achieve
ment and the country boy possessing
these need not fear for success in life.
High mental and moral attainments
should be valued above the selfish ma
terial ends of life. He closed with q
cordial congratulation to the pupils on
their success and an invitation for them
to attend the Canton high schools.
Major Baird, in his address, made a
little slip which caused a smile to go
through the audience when, in warning
the pupils of the pitfalls of city life
which many might encounter he said,
Many of you will probably in coming
years be in our jails, our workhouse
or penitentiary." He probably intend
ed to add that such a fate could be
avoided by proper resistance to temp
tation but he neglected to do so and
many of the pupils looked at each other
in CONSERVATION at the encouraging
prediction made by the major.
Prof. Sarver, who has been an exam
iner since the inception of the Box
well law, spoke briefly of its results in
favor of higher education and the in
creased interest in it every year, an1

STILL PROCEEDING
Arrangements for the Jeffres-Ruhlin
Fight Going On AS Usual.


Cincinnati, Feb. .-Notwithstand-
ing the action of Gov. Nash, there has
been no suspension of preparations
here of the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest,
scheduled for Feb. Is. The work has
been proceeding at the Dig hall as
heretofore. The sale of tickets went
on the same as last week. The pro-
grams were carried out as usual at the
training quarters of Jeffries, Rubin,
Martin and Childs. The Saengerfest
Athletic club and its attorneys, after
repeated conferences, insisted that
they will carry out their program un-
less a permanent injunction shall be
issued by the courts. Arguments will
be heard on the petition for an injunc-
tion to-day and they may continue for
two days, and then Judge Hollister
may reserve his decision for day or
two, so that the indications are that
there will be no suspension of prelim-
mary work for some days. The state
ments were repeatedly made yester-
day by director of the Saengerfest
club that the fight would not be de-
clared off until they shall have ex-
hausted all effor,s in the courts, even
to the court Oh last resort. The pro-
moters of the event insist that they
will give a sparring exhibition and
come within the provisions of the Ohio
statutes for boxing contests. They in
sist that Gov. Nash is mistaken in as
suming that the event is to be prize
fight and on this issue they expect the
courts to decide in favor OF the Saen-
gerfest Athletic club instead of the.
governor.
Judge Sheets, the encouragement,
arrived at Z o'clock this morning and
participated with other attorneys in
the arguments for permanent injunc-
tion. There is a large array of legal
talent on both sides.

Gov. Yates, of Illinois, Declares
Against Prize Fights.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 5.--Gov. Yates
uas set the seal OF nis disapproyal
upon prize fighting and has decreed
that this pastime shall not be INDUCED
in within the boundaries of the state
of Illinois whlie he presides at the
head of the executive department un-
less fights shall take place without his
knowledge. His decision and his EN-.
phatic position on the subject were
brought out Monday. Judge Fuller, OF
the circuit court of Boone county, tel
egraphed Gov. Yates that prize fight
was scheduled TO be held at Belvidere
Monday night and requested him to
do what he could to prevent it. The
message reached the executive Office
about noon while the governor was in
Jacksonville looking after some pri-
vate business. Col. Oglesby, his pri-
yate secretary, wired him the contents
of the message and he took the first
train for this city. Immediately upon
his arrival he went to the executive
office and had telephone communica-
tion with the sheriff of Boone county.
He told the officer to prevent the fight
and that if he needed any assistance a
company of militia would he sent to
Belvidere subject to his orders. The
sheriff replied that ne had sworn in
100 special deputies and believed he
could handle the situation. The gov
ernor made it emphatic to the sheriff
that the fight must not take place.
A special from Belvidere says the
prize fight scheduled for Belvidere
Monday night between Eddie Croake,
of Chicago and Young" Peter Jack
son, of Chicago, was stopped by Mayor
Moore. but parties left town on a spe-
cial train at 8 o'clock last night for
points outside of the county unknown,
where the sheriff cannot interfere,
