THE NEW
PAPAL DELEGATE
LAWMAKERS TRIBUTE.
OHIO LEGISLATURE ADOPTED
MEMORIAL TO M'KINLEY.
House Committee Adopted Nash Code
as Basis For LeeisIation-Hone
Rule Defeated.

Columbus, O., Sept. 16.-The select
committee of the lower branch OF the
Ohio legislature temporarily hung up
the Nash municipal code bill at q
meeting yesterday morning. The SEN
ate some time ago adopted this bill
as a basis upon which to work, but
the members Of the house committee
who were considering the measure
were not friendly to the bill and they
refused to adopt it on the ground that
they would not commit themselves to
vote for the bill at the time a report
is formulated. The committee took
a recess with q motion to adopt the
bill still pending.
Indications yesterday seemed to
point to at least three weeks con-
tinuous session before the house will
be ready to vote upon the bill as n
whole, and even then it will in no
wise resemble any Of the bills now
pending. There will be sessions OF
conference committee the week fol.
lowing, so that it will be more than
a month before the municipal govern
ment question in Ohio shall be set
tied.
The Nash code was adopted as a
basis at the afternoon session.
A vote on home rule resulted in its
defeat-12 to 9.
After a stormy session last night
the code committee of the house
adopted the plan OF single heads for
departments Of municipal govern.
ments. The board plan and the
straight federal plan were voted down.
1t was decided Mat the officers of
cities should consist Of a mayor, a
president OF council and a solicitor,
elected for two years each; an audi
tor, elected for three years, and q
treasurer, whether appointive or cleo
tive yet to be determined. The mat
ter of the nead Of the department OF
public works was under consideration
when the session ended for the day.

The following memorial was adopt
ed yesterday afternoon by the gen
eral assembly:
Sunday, the 14th day Of Septem-
Der, 1902, was the first anniversary
Of the death Of our late loved presi'
dent, Mckinley. The day brings in
special emphasis, illumed by the his
tory of another year, a newer and
better vision Of the fine qualities Of
his mind, the enduring strength Of his
character and the single purpose OF
his life, established in patriotism to
serve his country to the full measure
of his great powers, while God or
dained for him to live; high on the
tablet roll Of our great men stands
his name in letters large and fine;
deep craven in the hearts Of his coun.
trymen is his memory; his history
will endure.
we realize how poor and made
uuate are the words of any brief re-
view to even epitomize the results Of
his living. Having loved him in ltfoo.
we cherish his memory, ennobled by
heroic death. We commend him as
our example to the citizenship OF our
dear commonwealth. which he loved
and served so well. For ourselves,
on this first anniversary of his death,
We. in the performance Of our public
duties, and in honor of him, hereby
dedicate our lives anew to that pure
i2.sgr;ty, sdelity and high patriotism
so peculiarly and completely exempli.
fed in his private life a
