Columbus. April Ex-senator Cham
berlin. OF Lorain, and Representative
Worthington. of Belmont have return
ed from Washington. where they have
been for several days. and each
brought back some information of an
interesting character Mr.. Worthing-
ton held conference with Senator
Hanna, during which the latter ex-
pressed pleasure over the passage OF
the Cleveland park board bill and the
work of the general assembly thus
far. He also intimated that the senate
would do the wise thing if 1t would
concur in the house amendment to the
Patterson redstricting bill. Mr..
Worthington brought up the guberna-
torial question and asked Senator
Hanna whether or not it was too early
20 discuss the matter. He replied
that he had little to say, but fur
ther along, in answer to a question,
said that General Dick would not be
q candidate for governor. II Mr..
Wosttington reports Mr.. Hanna's ut
terances correctly. it is as good as cer-
tain that Dick will not enter the lists
for the much coveted nomination, his
reasons for doing so probably being
because of desire not to embarrass
or hinder the candidacy of Senator
Hanna for recollection to the United
States senate. Senator Chamberlin
brought back word that Senators Han
ma and Foraker and Congressman
Dick and Grosvenor are very much
in favor of the changing of the Day.
ton and Columbus congressional dis
tricts. If this plan is carried out it
will give the Republicans II districts.
The legislature transacted very lit
tie business Monday afternoon, the
time being devoted mainly to the con-
sideration of routine matters. Mr.
Williams, of Mahoning, introduced a
bill to increase the salary of the clerk
of Youngstown township from S475 to
$3.50 per annum. Representative Price,
of Athens, introduced a substitute for
the uniform system of public account
ing bill. The new measure is almost
identical with the old, except that it
gives the auditor of state power to
appoint three inspectors at salaries of
$4,000 each and expenses, and clerk
at $500 per year, and such other
help as may be necessary. The Com
ings bill to recommend the appoint
ment of a commission to draft a mu-
nicipal code has been recommended
for passage.
Factory and Shop Inspector John Fl:
Morgan has returned from Wheeling,
where he has been attending the con-
yention of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
and has brought back word that the
majority of the delegates from the
Mahoning valley will vote for the Sc
lection of Columbus as the place for
next years meeting OF the association.
Mr.. Morgan predicts that Columbus
will capture the honor. Unless the un-
expected occurs, John f. Ward, of
Youngstown, will be appointed by
Chief Inspector Morgan to succeed
Warren Hall, of Warren. as deputy
factory and shop inspector. Mr.. Hall
Is now serving his second term. A
dispatch from Wheeling says that the
Amalgamated association has endorsed
the candidacy of Mr.. Ward, and as the
association was powerful factor in
the appointment of Mr.. Morgan as
chief of the department, it Is not like
ly that he will act contrary to the
wishes of the organization in the ap-
pOintment Of this deputyship. Mr..
Morgan for years was connected in
any official capacity with the associa-
tior. The prevailing belief here Is
that the appointment will go to Mr..
Ward. The position pays 81 900 year
and travelling expenses.
