Columbus, Sept. s.-Governor Nash
| will fight the proposed. move to
shelve his code and substitute the
federal plan instead. He will also
use all the power at his command to
prevent the changing of the franchise
feature Of his bill. The governor de-
clared himself, Tuesday, and his posi-
tioh on the latter question is diamet-
rically opposite to that Of Senator
Hanna. AS has been stated hereto
fore, the plan is for Guerin, of San
dusky, to introduce the federal plan
bill, and about the same time mo-
ton will be sprung to have all other
codes taken from the hands of the
special committee and referred to the
house as q committee OF the whole.
| Representative Cole, Of Tifiin, Is the
prime mover in this undertaking. IT
is said he will have plenty of backing.
The story is out that McKfnn0n has
endorsed Gnerin's federal bill, which
has given rise to the rumor that a
coalition Of the forces of both has
been erected This is interesting In
view OF the fact that Guerin opposed
McKinnon for speaker Evidently their
differences have been forgotten. 81
Governor Nash thinks that Wade
Ellis, assistant corporation counsel, of
for his services in the construction Of
~ ~ IIr hnk tnv
Longworth will not accept any COM
pensation for what work he rendered,
and intimates that none is expected in
the case OF Smith Bennett, special
counsel in the Office Of the attorney
general, for the reason that he is re-
ceiving pay from the state, and that it
should make no difference to him
whether he earns 1t building a code or
otherwise. However, 1t Is as good as
certain that II the Nash code 10 re-
jected, those who were instrumental
in its formation will not receive any
remuneration for their labor.
Charles L. Gore, of the state treas
ury, on Tuesday received telegram
announcing the death of his brother,
Frank Gore, from apoplexy, at Cleve-
land. Mrs. Anna Lindsay, of Canton,
is daughter of the deceased. Fu-
neral services will be held over the
remains at Cleveland Thursday af-
ternoon. On Friday the body will be
taken to Wellsville for interment.
Six married children are left, all re-
siding in Cleveland excepting Mrs.
Lindsay. Mr.. Gore was born in Han
over, Columbiana county, 65 years
ago, and was in the employ of the
Cleveland & Pittsburg railroad as
freight engineer for nearly 20 years.
He severed his connection with the
company two decades ago and since,
until his death, has been a resident of
Cleveland. He was a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers. He resided in Wellsville be-
fore going to Cleveland. u a. ss.,
} John Shearer, of Alliance, was here
Tuesday attending a meeting of the
state embalming board, of which he is
member, called to perfect rules and
bylaws under which the board will
hold examinations. There are about
i 400 undertakers in the state, accord
ing to information secured by the
the state examination.
Representative Price has found au-
other flaw in the Nash code. 1t pro-
vides for vice-mayors for villages, |
who are to be the presidents of the
councils. This is not constitutional,
because mayors in villages have the
power Of police judges and when there
Is vacancy in judgeship 1t must be !
filled by appointment by the governor |
This is only one of many Mr.. Price |
has found. Governor Nash acknowl-
edges this one is blunder that will |
have to be corrected.
An effort is to be made to take the
code from the committee of the house
of representatives and place it before
the whole house. The committee, Of
which Metzger, of Stark, is a member,
is favorable to the federal plan and
the administration is afraid to trust |
it further II is not believed the plan
will prevail. The committee will take
up Its hearings Friday.
The report that the legislature
would adjourn until after the election
is meeting with, vigorous denials.
Governor Nash wants the solons to
get together and finish their business
as early as possible. No one seems
to know how the story started. Sem
ator Wilhelm, Of Stark, pronounced
the proposition as being silly. He
says the sooner the legislature exc
cutes its purpose the better, and he
objects to any delay whatsoever The
school code was considered Wednes-
day in conference by the Republican
leaders, which may result In the in
PRODUCTION of such n measure this af-
ternoon by Representative Seese.
However, this plan may be changed
