Municipal Code for Ohio
Cities
A KN0TTY QUESTION
Congressman Says the Cues.
tion Is Hard to SoIve--He
Is n Advoca ate of Homo
Rule.

In discussing the municipal cose
question with the East Liverpool News-
Review Congressman r. W. Tayler
said yesterday:
The legislature is confronted by
difficult and important questions, and
am inclined to think that its session
will he long one.
The question of municipal govern
nent in Ohio cites certainly presents
great and grave problems. 1t is mat
ter, however, which attracts little at
tention in small towns, and have not
given much thought to the questions
presen-ed Governor Nash Is doing
heroic work, and the best of his ideas
and sentiments and those of his ad-
visers will probably be engrafted upon
the code bill when 1t is enacted.
strongly approve of his position as
understand it, and the police of our cit
les should be removed as far as pos
sible from the sphere of politics.
I'm county offices and for mayors
of cities it is generally better to have
Republicans than Democrats, for the
reason that the Republican party gen.
orally puts up better men than the
Democrats. But. when it comes to po-
lice appointments, men should be
chosen without regard to their political
Affiliations and solely with regard to
their fitness. The police are merely
the physical arm CT the law. To be
respected they must have but one oh
ject, to preserve order and do Their
duty fearlessly. The farther the con-
troll OF the police of a city can be re-
moved from politics the better for the
public interests and protection.
Il believe strongly in home rule fon
municipalities and trust that the leg
islature will do its best to frame laws
that will apply throughout Ohio and
rid the state of pernic,ous special leg
islation enacted for partisan ends"

Muncie, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE board Of
police commissioners last night dis
charged Patrolman Noble Thornburg
and Desk Sergeant Albert Bedell for
cowardice and accepted the resigna-
tion of Patrolman Thomas Larmore,
rendered by him to prevent his dis
charge.
These officers were terrorized last
week by ex-Patrolman Fred Pickett,
who severely thrashed Larmore and
smashed his revolver, drove Thorn
burg out of the Central police station
and compelled Bedell to leave his
desk and take a buggy ride with
him

ONLY A MASK

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacations as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little II any stronger
than they were. The tan on their
faces Is darker and makes them look
healthier, but 1t Is only mask. They
nrc still nervous, easily tired, upset
by trincs. and they do not eat nor
slccp we'll. What they need Is what
tones the nerves, perfects digestion
creates appetite, and makes sleep
refreshing, and that is Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Pupils and teachers gen
orally will find the chief purpose OF
the yaction best subserved by this
great medicine which. as we know
"Sus,ds ZIP the whole system."

Cubans Want to Borrow
$35,ooo,ooo
TO L|QU|DATE DEBT
Pay the Army and Aid Sugar
Planters and Other Agri-
cultural Interests OF
the island.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Cuba is about
to signalize her entry into the family
of republics by assuming responsibility
for a national debt. Under the Platt
amendment the United States must
be consulted before the island govern
ment binds Itself 10 meet any finan-
cial obligations, but the house i'm ses-
son at Havana has voted for loan
of $25,COO,000. 1t is believed the pur-
pose of this loan is to aid sugar plant
ers and to pay off the debts contracted
by the Cuban iun,a in aid Of the last
revolution and to settle the claims Of
those VINO fought in the l;berating
army.
At session of the senate the way
vas prepared for circulating $S5, ,000.-
90 throughout the island by substan-
TALLY approving the house bill for the
circulation of this amount. The
money, it is believed, will have the
effect of relieving considerably the
present crisis. The Cuban congress
considers it advisable to aid the sugar
planters pending efforts to obtain rec
iprocity at the next session Of the
American congress.
Authority has been granted for the
,,po;pt ypopt of a cprn nmic cc,op IN fix opd
pay the amount due the army. Gen
eral Maximo Gomez probably will be
the chairman.
President Palma will be authorized
to borrow s35 100000 in American god
and issue national forty-year per cent
bonds within six months. Four mil
lion dollars will be applied to the aid
of the zane growers and the agricul-
tural and cattle industry generally.
The money will be loaned al the rate
of 80 cents for every $500 pounds Of
sugar grown in the last crop. The
bond holders will have the custom
house receipts as guarantee for the
payment of the $4,000,000. President
Palma will be authorized TO increase
the tariff Guties on certain articles ac-
cordingly. n.
The rest of the s35.000,000 will be
used for the payment of debts con-
tracted by the New York junta,
amounting to about SO, 100000, and for
payment of Rhe services of the army,
1922 100000.
The present congress before adjourn
ing will provide a way to pay interest
and will establish the principal This
probably will be done by means of a
stamp tax. Any balance of the loan
will be applied to agriculture at the
discretion of congress.
1t is believed such loan can be ne
gotiated and taken care of without
great difficulty. 1t will be Cuba's only
national debt. Business depression in
the towns and poverty in the country
are not decreasing. There have been
1923 business failures In the last twelve
months, against twenty-three the year
before

IHE NILES CASE DROPPED.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Likely TO IG-
MORE THE GENERALS STATEMENTS.
tBr TELEGRAPH To TIE TEIBrNE

Washington, March 25-It is understood from
an authoritative source that there will be no
further controversy the testimony of Cen
eral Miles before the Senate Military Commit
tee. The subject was referred to at the Cabinet
meeting to-day. and it is regarded now as al
most certain that President Roosevelt will take
no official notice of the statements made
by General Miles. II is said that a peru
sal of his testimony .'th respect to the
Philippines and the army has not given Of
fence to the President. Officials generally re-
gard the incident as closed. Had statements
similar 10 those accredited to General Miles in
the newspaper accounts Of his testimony been
made by any officer of the army. the impression
here is that prompt action would have been
taken to rehuke such an offender. But in this
case it has apparently been found. in the first
place. that General Miles's testimony before
committee sitting in eXeCutiva session was not
Of a character which warranted such rigorous
action
So far could he ascertained to-day, the sub
jeCt of General NTiless retirement not men
tiored tho Cabinet meeting but friends Of
tine general are inclined to believe he will retire
some time before he reaches the compulsory age
limit. At the Cabinet meeting last Friday ii
decided 70 postpone a conclusion in regard
to the matter until some future meeting. 1t is
strongly intimAted now that the mention
Of il today constituted the final disposition Of
the case. and there will be no further ado.
II is the intention Of Chairman Cooper. Of the
House Committee on Insular Affairs. to call up
tomorrow the BurleSOn resolution requesting
the President 10 submit 70 the House Of Repre-
sertatiVes the letter Of General Miles outlining
a pan Of campaign In the Philippines. and il is
expected that the committee viii report the

He denied however. ever saying anything for
publication that point. He said that the
bituminous miners were not likely to be drawn

SOFT coal miners was in Central Pennsylvania.
