RADICAL CHANGES
Proposed in Other Districts
Passage Of Bill Will Mean
the PurIoinine of a Con-
gresham.

Columbus, Jan. 25.-Representative
Allen, of Fulton, has prepared bill
that is intended TO confuse some
sprouting statesmen. 1t is a redistrict-
ing bill, and has for its object that
equity that has suggested itself to
all Republicans, the purloining of a
congressman. At present normal rep
resentation is 16 Republicans and .
Democrats. 1t is the intention OF
every bill that has been talked Of,
to make the districts so that there VIII
be II Republicans and Democrats
sent to congress from this state. Aside
from that, however, Mr.. Allen has fig
ured things so that Congressman Dick
will be in bad district. He has fixed
1t to put Dick in Stark, Wayne and
Summit The recent Republican ma
jority in that district was cnly 1880,
and everybody knows that the Demo-
cratic vote was not out. Some Canton
men and men in other parts of Stark
county could have the opportunity they
long have sought, and what would oc-
cur to Mr. Dick would, after it was
properly summed up, be determined
to be quite sufficient.
In the bill that Mr.. Allen is going to
propose. the Nineteenth district would
consist of Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga,
Trumbull and Mahoning. This district
would have q Republican majority of
10. $50.
The Seventeenth district would be
composed of Harrison, Jefferson, Tus-
carawals, Carroll and Columbiana. This
district. on the basis of the last cleo
tion, would have Republican majority
of 1925.
The bill is intended to be introduced
very shortly, and as Mr.. Allen is not
satisfied with the actions of Mr.. Dick
with reference to several matters, he
will insist upon its passage.

Youngstown, Jan. 24.-At a meeting

ed increase in the capital stock of the

AFRAID OF GHOULS.
Parents Have Kept Their Dead
Child for Three Weeks--Au-
thorities to Inter erfere.

Akron, O., Jan. 24.-For three weeks
the body of two-year-old Mildred Carr,
who died January 2, has lain in the
parlor at the home of the dead baby's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Carr, in
Northampton township, because the
latter have feared that ghouls would
steal the body If it was buried. The
child died of a cancerous growth at the
back of the eye, which pushed the eye
ball from its place. Physicians who
performed an operation, removing the
child's eye, asked permission to make
post-mortem examination, but Mr.
and Mrs. Carr declined. Their fears
were. further aroused by false report
which reached them, that a medical
college would be willing to pay for the
childs remains.
The cause of the child's death was
most unusual. but the doctors did not
press their request for permission to
make an examination. Nevertheless
Mr. and Mrs. Carr placed the baby's
body in tiny casket he bought in
Akron, and left it in the parlor The
Akron health board has no jurisdiction
in the case, but will investigate and
persuade Mr.. and Mrs. Carr that there
is no danger of the child's body being
stolen. They are taking an especial
interested in the case as there are sew
eral other small children in the Carr
family.

About a year ago Battles and Mrs.

ALLIANCE CAPTAIN
WANTS TO RESIGN
But Is Restrained Through Big
Shortage in State Property
--Five Soldiers Arrested.

Alliance, Jan. 25.--Lieutenant Fred
Zang filed aflidavits yesterday against
several members of Company X, charg-
ing them with refusing to turn over
to him the property of the state now in
their possession.
This action is an outgrowth of an
effort which is now being made to
straighten out the affairs of Captain
Jarrett, who desires to resign his
commission in the company. IA.
Jarrett has been in command for
about Is months and during that time
property, 'such as overcoats, leggings,
helmets. etc, to the estimated value
of about $3.50 has become lost, and his
resignation can not be accepted until
all state property is accounted for.
It is claimed that considerable
amount was lost during the time the
company was at Canton attending the
funeral of our late president.
Captain Jarrett, 1t seems, has been
negligent in regard to some of these
matters, so that now he stands charg-
ed with property to the above estimat-
ed value, and the bondsmen have taken
the matter in hand and will make an
effort to straighten the affair out If
possible, without either he or them
having to pay for the lost articles.

SMALLER ARMY S
FOR PHILIPPINES
Il II Believed That q Force Of
IS, 900 Men VIII be Ample
Before Lone.

San Francisco, Jan. 24.-Regarding
standing army in the Philippines,
Gov. Taft. who has just returned from
Manila, is reported to have said:
Fifteen thousand men will be an
ample force in the islands before the
close of the year. was told this only
few days before came away. Off,
GERS thoroughly versed in the situa-
tion gave the figures.
81 will explain to you how peace Is
maintained in the islands. We have or
ganized a native constabulary. which is
working efficiently. Congress allows
us to maintain constabulary of 5000
men. They are under the command of
Maj. Allen. who has enlisted $500 men
in this branch of the service. When
the force is fully organized the men
will be distributed in the province,
$50 men 20 each province. The detach-
ments of constabules are commanded
by four officers, three of whom are re-
tired volunteer officers and the other
a native Filipino. When the constabu-
larry is fully equipped it will be de-
taied in the field to clean out the
ladrones. who are intimidating the ma
tives. These Filipino constabules can be
maintained by the government at a
cost of $3.50 each a year while the SOL
diers in the islands cost Uncle Sam
about 81 900 a head.
81 know that the Pacific coast peo-
pie would like to see free trade insti-
tuted between this country and the is
lands" said the governor, "but l am
sorry to say that cannot see how it
would work. The civil government
adopted a tariff schedule which is
working well, but our internal reve-
nue. receipts are not large"

selves in a few days. all the mines went
to work this morning.
The matter which caused the trouble
last Saturday when the delegates and
operators met expecting to sign the
scale, and adjourned without accom-
plishing, because the miners In the
Negley and Newhouse mines had in
serted an objectionM clause regarding
the carrying out of coal to the mouth
of the mines, was decided to be es-
sentially a local matter with the two
mines named, and that 1t should be
settled between the miners and the
owners Of the mines affected. This
simplifled matters greatly and the con-
ference yesterday afternoon was very
harmonious. Accordingly the scale
which was rejected last Saturday was
very slightly modified and signed by
all the miners and operators yesterday.
