FAvORS AN
INCREASE,

In the senate Monday evening,
Mr.. Hypes, the member from
Clark county, presented a COM
munication from 800 Springfield
business men, urging an increase
in the Dow tax law from $3.50 to
$1,000. T b communication is
based upon the belief that the low
dives, which the increase would
drive out of business, are responsi-
BILE for riots, etc.
Representative Aiken's bill to
increase the Dow liquor tax from
$3.50 to $1,000 year was taken
from the house committee on taxa
tion and placed on the calendar
Monday. The motion to relieve
the committee was supported by
the votes of As MEMBERS while 81
voted against it. When the bill
comes up for consideration, an ef-
fort will be made to amend by
placing the tax at $500 year.
The communication from Spring
field business men pres ented by
Senator Hypes, declaring that the
increase of the Dow tax to $1,000
would drive out Of business the
class of saloons largely responsible
for h e disorderly conditions
there, had much to do with the
action of the house in placing the
Aiken bill on the calendar.
The Aiken bill will not be
reached for several days, possibly
not tins week, because of the
number of measures preceding it
on the house calendar.

GOING TO
INVESTIGATE.
The Entire Police Depart.
ment to be Probed.
APPROPRIATION MADE.
To Cover the Expense of
the Investigation.

Columbus, o., March 5.--Conn
Gil last evening authorized Mayor
Badger and City Solicitor Mar
shall to investigate the entire po-
lice department and appropriated
800 to pay the expenses. The
ordinance, making the appropria-
tion, was prepared by the city So
letter at the request of council
while that body was in session
and was passed by unanimous
vote under suspension of the
rules.
1t was preceded by fiery speech
es of various members of council
demanding that thorough inves-
tigation be made. City Solicitor
Marshall declared that he wanted
the members of council and the
public 10 understand that he
would do his duty as legal advis-
er to,the mayor in the inquiry;
that he meant it to be thorough
and that there absolutely would
be no whitewash.
The mayor and city solicitor are
to investigate the police depart
ment, not the dete ctive bureau
alone. They are not to investi-
gate charges of the mayor against
Director Meek and Secretary West
of the safety board. These two
made written demand that their
offices b.. l,oked into but council
took no action on the commrnica-
tion.
The first suggestion of a police
probe was made by Mr.. Monett,
councilman-at-large at the very
beginning of the session. He pre-
sented resolution, reciting that
reflection had been cast upon the
members of the detective depart
ment and one member Of the board
Of safety; b t rumors going
about had tendency to ruin the
confidence of the people in their
police department and providing
that the mayor be requested to in
yestigate thoroughly and at once.
1t was read while the members
of council moved about a little
restlessly. AT the close of the
reading for a moment there was
absolute silence in the council
chamber.
Mr. Monett arose. icThis is

the sum of 800, for his appear
ance to answer the charge at $3.50
Tuesday morning. Acting under
the advice of his attorneys, lie
will fight the case.
One week ago Sunday Mr..
Roberts went into the Neil house
bar, he says, and personally
bought glass of Scotch whisky.
He knows it was whisky, for he
tasted it. But he isn't sure
whether it was "King William
or "V. O. p" lie is inclined to
believe that the sale of either
would be an offense under the law.
Upon that occasion Mr.. Roberts
visited Mayor Badger at the city
hall and laid his case before the
mayor. He was informed that
orders had been issued 70 the chief
of police to enforce the law. If
the chief had not done so, it was
not the fault of the mayor, Mr.,
Badger explained.
Mr.. Roberts says he was deter.
mined that If saloonkeepers on out
lying streets were arrested for
violation of the Sunday closing
order, the more prominent dealers
uptown also should be held to
legal accountability. He returned
from his home in Cleveland on an
early afternoon train Sunday, and
visited the Neil house to see if the
closing order was being enforced
there. He found no difficulty in
gaining entrance to the hotel bar,
he asserts, and there he saw 80
men congregated, many of whom
were drinking beer or whisky.
From the Neil house Mr.. Roberts
went to police headquarters, where
he informed Chief O'Connor what
he had seen. "The chief says at
that hour he was busily engaged
with the Italian murder case, and
could not spare any plain clothes
man to visit the Neil house for
confirmation of Mr.. Roberts story.
The chief admits, however, that
he accepted the story as being
true, and telephoned to Mr.. Har-
mon to close the hotel bar. Later,
at p. m. or shortly afterward,
the chief himself went to the Neil
house. He says the hotel lobby
was crowded, but he saw no liquor
being sold, nor does he know if
the bar was open at that time.
When Mr.. Roberts visited police
headquarters Monday afternoon,
to swear out the warrant, he was
subj to II searching cross ex-
animation by Police Prosecutor
Scarlett, the avowed purpose be-
ing to determine if the evidence in
possession of Mr.. Roberts were
sufficient to convict, in case a
warrant should be issued. Final
ly, before he would accept the
charge and fill out the warrant,
and tho Mr.. Roberts declared he
personally had purchased whisky
at the Neil house bar on Sunday,
| the prosecutor said he would con
fer with Chief O'Connor.

TWO CENTS
PER MILE.
Rate Will Go in Effect
Saturday.
CAPTAIN W. M. FISHER
Announces the Changes to
Be Made.

Captain w. M. Fisher, general
passenger agent of the Hooking
Valley, has returned from Chica-
&C where he attended the meeting
of the executive and passenger
official Of the Ohio lines to decide
upon further details of the agree
ment to go into effect with the
new two.cent fare law IN Ohio.
Captain Fisher said the Ohio
roads would begin selling one way
tickets at the rate Of two cents
mile next Saturday, but that no
round trip tickets would be sold;
also that children between the
ages of 5 and IL would be carried
as usual at half fare.
The report that Sunday or
cheap excursions would be discon-
tinued is not correct, Mr.. Fisher
said. The running of thtse ex-
cursions have been left to the cp-
tion of the roads and the disposi-
tion of all Ohio roads, he said, is
to make all the money they can
under the new conditions and give
the law fair trial. AS long as
the cheap Sunday excursions are
paying institutions, they will be
continued.
The special rates given to cler.
gymen, sisters of charity, deacon
esses, the Salvation army, inmates
of soldiers and sailors homes,
the Ohio National guard and the
Ohio Naval reserves, will be with
drawn. Clergymen, who have de.
posted ST. for their certificates
will be refunded this amount if
they so desire. The clergy, per-
mits will be good however beyond
the state line.
AS regards the mileage books, it
was decided unless otherwise adj
vised by the legal departments, to
sell the books and accept the
mileage in exchange for tickets be
tween local points as well as in
terstate points the same as in h
past, but it was decided to place a
sticker across the contract on the
cover of the book, bearing the fol-
lowing statement:
SIT is understood and agreed by
the purchasers of this mileage ex-
change order that while it is for
interstate travel, good over roads
named on cover, it may be used,
at purchasers option, in ex-
change for local tickets in the
state of Ohio and that the special
deposit of $40 in addition to the
rate of two cents mile is a guar
antee of faithful performance Of
this contract and is forfeitable if
not complied with"
| Interstate rates, except to the
so.called border points, such as
Wheeling, Detroit, etc., will prob
ably not be disturbed for the pres
ent, until the rate clerks have hat
time to adjust the interline rates
in the state.
AS the two-cent.a. mile rate il
equivalent to the one and one
third rate, formerly given for con
ventions and other meetings, thes
rates will all be withdrawn. Th,
charge for excess baggage ha'
been increased to Is per cent o
the fare for each hundred pounds
excess instead OF l2 per cent, tn,
old rate.
