Columbus, Feb. 6-The New Balti-
more school fight has again been rele-
gated to the blue-tinted atmosphere Of
Marlboro township. 1t created little
excitement and a great deal Of amuse-
ment during its brief stay in Colum-
. bus. There was a disposition on the
part of the delegations that came here,
to block legislation till they had been
heard, and until the sore toe Of each
had been examined by the Legislature
and dressed by the numerous super
numeraries.
Tuesday night Representative Metz
gar was cornered for several hours by
the side of the controversy represented
by s. s. Newhouse, d. M. Nieswonger
and several others. Representative
Pollock was not at the conference, nor
was Senator Wilhelm. But on Wednes-
day both Taylor and Newhouse we're
about the legislative halls, and as the
legislature seemed to entertain no.
tion of going ahead with other busi-
ness, it was suggested to Mr.. Newhouse
and Mr.. Nieswonger that the represen-
tatives insisted upon hearing both side5
of the question; that as they had been
heard by at least part Of the delega-
tion there was no occasion for further
conference.
TWO YARDS OF PETITION.
Mr. Newhouse bore with him petit
tion six feet, seven and one-half inches
in length. Mr.. Taylor had no petition.
To make matters even it was decided
to allow Mr.. Taylor to present petit
tion. Before going home Mr.. New
house said
I'VE are going home. We have come
to an agreement that each side shall
present its petition. Taylor is to get
petition and let me see it and 1 am
to let him see mine. Then we are to
present them in three or four weeks
and something definite will be done"
Mr.. Metzgar, when questioned as to
the agreement, said: There has been
no agreement. Mr.. Newhouse suggest
agreement about it. We want to be
entirely fair in this matter and we will
see the rytition of the other eide. We
want both sides. There iS no special
agreement, and we are simply delaying
to allow both parties to have fair
show"
Said Mr.. Pollock: 1--WE want to see
the petition from the other side as well
as from the side represented by Mr..
Newhouse, and have given it an oppor.
tunity to get it prepared and signed
] see no reason why the bill should not
come up sometime next week."
STOOD VERY MUCH AI.OOF.
While they were here, neither faction
would have anything to do with the
other. When Mr.. Newhouse, Mr.. Neis-
wonger and their friends were in the
senate, Mr.. Taylor remained in the
house. When the other side was In
the house, Mr.. Taylor transferred his
headquarters to the senate. Once they
