Nothing that has happened at the
penitentiary in years attracted so
much interest as the big checker
match. Marlatt and Miller are known
throughout the prison as fine checker
players. Many of the guards have
gone into the cellar and attempted to
defeat them, but the prisoners, who
studied the boards day and night, were
too much for them. There is an in
teresting contest played regularly
every Sunday afternoon between Mil
Ter and Marlatt, which is watched by
the usual following.

For Years

Columbus, May 17.-Buried behind
the grim walls of the penitentiary for

of which he was called the prison
demon" and kept like an animal in a
steel cage, where he raved in maniacal
antics at the guards who then did not
know that kindness was the only way
to tame him, Ira Marlatt, of Columbi-
ana county, changed into a man of
considerable intellect, considering the
circumstances, dressed in clean
white shirt and collar, sat quietly at
a checker board in the visitors pavil
ion in the inner courtyard of the pen

with H. G. Miles, champion of Colum.
bus, and recognized as one of the best
players in the state.
UNUSUAL IN PRISON ANNALS.
Nowhere, in any penitentiary in the
world, except the Ohio prison, would
such a novel contest be permitted,
but Warden o. B. Gould, whose great
desire is to better the conditions of
the convicts behind the walls and to
grant them what little pleasures he
can within the limits of prudence, has
made him the best disciplinarian the
institution ever had, said Friday that
he believed the old-time prisoner
would enjoy the novelty of the thing.
PUZZLED BY BOOK MOVES.
Bent over the board, with his eyes
fastened on the checkers, Marlatt
silently made his moves. The first
game started shortly after 2 o'clock.
Calm and self-reliant, Miles, the
champion, with one arm resting over
the back Of his chair, stroked his chin
as he watched the former prison de-
mon studying ever a. book move"
II d-do-don't knOw-th-th-these
b-b-b-boOk mum-mum-mov6s and
you-you ha-ha-have the ah-ah-ad-
vantage o-o-o-over mum-mum :"
said Ira, after a short interval. Mar.
latt's speech has been affected by hav-
ing suffered the water cure so many
times in the prison years ago, when
he was "bucking" the officials. Miles
only smiled.
Orlando Miller, a life prisoner for
murder, who has been behind the walls
12 years, and who is employed with
Marlatt firing the furnaces in the eel
lar below the prison hospital, was an
intent spectator of the game, as was
also a large number of the officials
and guards.
NOT SURE OF VICTORY.
When Marlatt was summoned in the
morning to Deputy Woods office and
asked if he was still ready to carry
out his agreement to play Miles, he
said that he was a little afraid of

upon monopoly, where It belongs.
Defeats are but incidents. Our
next campaign has already begun. The
truth may lose some battles, but it
never lost a war. My ambition In
politics is to see the grasp of monop-
oily upon the people broken. / want
to see the people own their streets,
their street railroads, their water
works and their lighting plant
I'm other words, / want soon to
see the day when valuable public fran-
chises will no longer be handed over
to private interests to be manipulat-
| ed for private profit"
Now, there are a lot of things in
this letter, especially the municipal
ownership features Of it, in which all
Democrats will not concur That
there Is unanimity upon the matter of
taxation of intangible values there is
no question, but there are honest diff
| ferences as to the scope of the init
iative and referendum. Most of the
| delegates are for referendum of fran
chises, but are rather inclined to per-
init representative government to be
| free in all things else.
1t is more than probable that Judge
| Harmon takes a catholic view of these
questions, and will not personally op-
the people themselves. His doctrine
can be summed up in his own ex-
| preston: II am old fashioned enough
| to believe in holding on to a good
thing until l get. something better"
The state of Oregon and Oklahoma
are giving the direct legislative the
ory of government an actual trial,
just as New York and Massachusetts
are testing the franchise tax system.
At, the coming election there will be
| submitted a constitutional amendment
to give the general assembly the right
to classify property for taxation pur-
poses, and If it is adopted the next
year will see the taking up of the
franchise tax question. 1t was due
largely to the powerful influence of
Mayor Johnson that the Democratic
convention did not indorse this prop
osition. He is opposed to 1t, and SO
are a great many other men in the
state. But just now it is the only
relief in sight. The corporations were
too stout in the last session of the
legislature to permit the passage of
any kind Of a franchise tax BILL al
though several were offered. No mat
ter what is done, they will have to be
consulted, and properly so, seeing that
they are expected to take up this ad-
| ditional burden Of taxation. Judge
Harmon has made it clear that he
will not Tepudiate the platform. He
may hold to his own personal views,
and very likely will do so. But if ev-
cry candidate for Office from president
down was to be expected to accept
every jot and title of declaration
made overnight by convention COM
mittee there would soon be no candi-
dates and no parties. Compromise,
after all, rules all walks of life.

HARMONY
Is ASSURED IN OHIO
DEMOCRACY
By Meeting of Judge Har.
mon and Mayor Johnson
Letter Of the Mayor and
Expressions by Judge
Indicate That Any Idea
of a Third Ticket Will
Prove Futile,

Columbus, o., May 17.-That the
services of physician or surgeon are
not necessary to the state Democratic
organization was clearly manifested
by the meeting Saturday of the state
central committee and the candidates
named at the recent state convention
OF glorious memory. 1t may be inter-
polated that such conventions are al
ways healthy indications. 1t is the
prim and decorous gatherings that the
''ontarrified" have just cause to fear.
This was not OF that kind. Every
delegate got the winters bile out of
his system, secured plenty of exercise
for idle muscles and improved his lung
expansions through cheering for his
candidates and denouncing the con-
demned malefaotors who were oppos-
ing their nominations. It was a great
occasion for the fellow that came
way and a wretched time for the
pompous persons who love to vote not
individuals but delegations.
Quite a clatter was made over the
position taken by Mayor Tom l.. John
son. of Cleveland, now, alas, tangled
up in street railway strike and
brought face to face with the ever
lasting truth that the more a man
does for the common people the hard
er the blow lands upon his solar plex-
us. 1t was not long since that a vet
eran journalist, now happily retired
TO bucolic life, told how, when he
took up the pen, he had highly re-
solved to do something for the COM
mon people and thereby make tie
world a better place in which to live.
Pointing up and then down, he said
tmpressively:
Gentlemen, I fell thousand feet.
Let the common people look after
themselves. I'll do the same for my
self"
But this is DEPRESSING. The shrill-
est noise in the confusion created by
the Cleveland men while smarting
from the defeat was that clamoring
for an independent ticket, to be head
ed by Mayor Brand Whitlock, of To-

ledo, or some other gentlemen holding
similar views. A liberal amount of
gas was fed into this balloon, but II
appears that there was an omission
on the part OF the valve tender, and
it has gone out to mingle with the
atmospheric envelope surrounding the
earth. Even the Hearst Independence
league was not sufficiently agile to
seize the evanescent thing-and that

inventor Of a patent school system
which the educational world refuses
to take seriously. He got four votes
for school commissioner in the state
convention, and properly or other
wise thinks that the political bosses
of the state conspired to defeat him.
The coming together OF Mayor
Johnson and Judge Harmon, the NOM
inee for governor, dispelled all doubts
Their meeting was cordial, and il
they had any differences they were
settled behind the doors of their con-
ference room. The nominee, however,
did not appear to be disturbed at any
time regarding this situation, and it
Is assuring to his friends to know
that there was no. huckstering bar
balm made by him. Mayor Johnson
came to this conference and com
mittee meeting determined to sink
whatever feeling he may have had.
This is supported by the letter which
he sent broadcast throughout the
state over his personal signature. It
was addressed to the party leaders
who took part in the convention and
who are members of the state Or
ganization.
In this epistle Mayor johnson takes
occasion to reiterate his widely known
views upon certain things which are,
after all, not political essentials, but
which have a profound bearing upon
local government. Through the kind
ness of one of the leaders who re-
ceived a copy it is possible to re-
produce the Cleveland leaders senti-
ments. 1t reads thus:
1--WE are all interested in the nom
ination and election Of Mr.. Bryan.
At our state convention it is true
that some of us did not accomplish all
the things we would have liked to
accomplish, but ] am sure that we
have every reason to feel greatly en-
couraged.

ed we were working for the best in

jority of thhe convention thought 9TH
erwise. l make my fights in the open,
before conventions, not afterward.
The most democratic platform ever
adopted by state convention is ours.
l sincerely hope all the candidates
will stand squarely on it.
"The vital planks are the initiative
and referendum, or direct legislation,
and the franchise tax. The latter
proposition means that a thousand
million dollars of franchise value now
untaxed will be placed upon the tax
duplicate, thereby lessening the bur-
den upon the farmers and home own
ers. The burdens should be placed

REPORTED A SUICIDE

Philadelphia, Pa, May 1.-THE
body of woman, about 40 years old,
from papers found in the clothing sup
posed to be Mrs. Knauer, of Alliance,
Ohio, was taken from the Delaware
river at Walnut street wharf Satur-
day by the crew of the freboat Ash
bridge. Saturday morning a long
shoreman was walking along the riv-
er front when he saw what looked like
the figure of woman gliding out on
the Walnut street pier. The next in
slant he heard splash and ran for
ward, but by the time he reached the
waters edge there was no person to
be seen. The man reported the in
cident to the police and after dredging
the river at this point for nearly four
hours the crew of the Ashbridge
brought up the body.
Chief Howells, of Alliance, was
communicated with and said that no
such woman as named in the dispatch
was missing from Alliance.
