THE
u LOGICAL man.
For Democratic Candidate for Cover
Aur Of Ohio, Says N. c. Ia
gals, Of Cincinnati.
A SUMMARY OF OHIO RESULTS.

Republicans and Democrats break
practically even on changes Of local
administration as result Of yester-
days elections throughout the state,
says the Cincinnati correspondent Of
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The ag-
gresate Of pluralitles show Republican
gains. The principal changes from the
Democrats 10 the Republicans were at
Columbus. Mansfield, GAINESVILLE. Def
ance, Delphos, Van Vert and Shelby,
the Republicans carrying Shelby for
the first time.
Among the cities that changed from
Republican to Democratic mayors were
Youngstown. Springfield, Akron, Troy
and Findlay. While there we're many
fusion tickets in the field, notably at
Cincinnati, the only successful ones
were at wellington, Marietta and Nor
wood.
In several OF the larger cities the
Socialists made gains and in most Of
the municipalities the liquor question
was less Of factor than ever before.
AT Oxford there were two tickets,
both non-partisan, and the labor ele-
ment was successful.
There are seventy-one cities and 615
villages In Ohio. OF the sixty largest
cities heard from officially it is noted
that the Republicans and Democrats
each carried thirty In the notable ex-
ception of Toledo. Jones, the independ-
ent mayor. will have little authority
rs the Republicans control all the city
government except the Office of may
or.
M. L. ingalls,, who was defeated for
mayor on the Citizens municipal tick
ct. today said:
There Is nothing to cay; the re-
ports speak for themselves. When the
people read the returns from the sixth,
eighth and eighteenth wards, they
knew what happened and how 1t was
accomplished. Our own fellows have
done noble work.
"The logical candidate for govern
or of Ohio Is Tom l.. Johnson, and
am for him, II he is the Democratic
nominee.

Scripps. .McRae Telegram
Baltimore, April 9. - About 125 non
union men who started for the Ameri-
can Bridge company at Pittsburg to
take the place Of strikers were held up
at Calvert station last night by a dele
cation of local union men.
While the latter were trying to per-
suade the "scabs" not to go, the leader
of the gang. supposed to be Pinker-
ton man from Pittsburg, dourished a
revolver. 1t was taken from him and
Immediately free fight began. All
sorts of weapons were in evidence and
things looked serious until squad OF
police hurriedly summoned arrived up
on the scene.
rhe just came in time to prevent
bloodshed. The "scabs scattered, but
not before six, among whom was the
detective, were arrested. The others
scrambled into two coaches and were
speedily taken from the scene. An out
break of this kind has long been antic-
ipated, as the bridge company's agents
have been concentrating their recruits
in Baltimore for some time.

mot GUILTY"
Mrs. Updiks Waivsd Examina.
tion Whom Arrsie cd for
Killing.

Akron, o., April 9. = Mrs. Susan Up
dixie was arraigned in Squire Hoffman's
court charged with the murder of An
drew Fasnacht. Mrs. Updike had con-
fessed to the killing Of Fasnacht, but
when she was afraigned she entered a
plea Of not guilty and waived pre-
liminary examination. She was bound
over to the common pleas court to
await the action OF the grand jury.
Despite the fact that she is charged
with an awful crime, Mrs. Updike does
not seem to take the matter seriously.
She only asks to be allowed to smoke
an ola black pipe which she carried to
the jail with her. The officers took
from her the keys to her house and a
big revolver, and the loss of these
seems to prey upon her mind. She
claims the officers have no right to her
keys, and seems to fear they will en-
ter her little cabin and disturb her
belongings.

and Leiner, at Wooster, retired for
consultation shortly before 2 O'Clock

charge after the opening OF court

These men are accused of having had
some dealings with George Hammond,
salesman for the Canton Bridge com
pany. He has been indicted upon q
similar charge and his fate to some ex-
tent depends upon the result of the
finding in the present case, although
the testimony offered would not be
competent as against Hammond.

Chief Justice Reaches
Age of Retirement.

In the estimation Of the people and
of his colleagues on the bench. One
of the remarkable things about the
chief justice is the wide extent of his
general knowledge. 1t is said that
no case was ever presented to him
without calling out the fact. at some
stage of the proceedings. that he had
a previously acquired knowledge of
the general subject involved in the
case at hand. In one celebrated case
he surprised many persons with his
owledge-evidently not acquired
merely for the occasion-of ancient
ecclesiastical law. 1t was during the
trial of Bishop Cheney Of the Re-
formed Episcopal church on charges
of heresy Mr. Fuller appeared for
the defense. The case went against
the bishop. but the trial served to
bring out the wonderful scholarship
of Mr.. Fuller and his ability to make
the most of the evidence In hand to
prove his case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Chief
Justice Fuller reached the age of 70
today and thereby becomes eligible
for retirement on full pay. There
have been rumors during the last
year that the chief Justice would
quit the bench. but as he is still
full of mental and bodily vigor des-
pite his three score and ten years 1t
is not regarded as likely that he will
retire for some time. The only con-
tingency that might hasten his re-
tirement would be the election of a
democratic president next year. in
which case 1t is likely that the chief
justice would quit Office in order to
give President Roosevelt an oppor-
tunity to name his successor.
The retirement Of Chief Justice
Fuller would be distinct loss to
the highest tribunal in the land. Since
his appointment by President CIeve-
land in 1888 he has constantly grown
