SUES AN
ADMINISTRATOR
Bonding Company Sets up
It's Claim.
-a
ALLEGES THERE WAS FRAUD
Administrator Failed to Pay
One Heir.
Bonding Company Asks a Judgment
for $525 Against Wallace McBride--
Charles Warrenstaff is Taken to the
Penitentiary.

Alleging that Wallace Mcbride
failed to perform his duties as ad-
ministrator of the estate or Napoleon
Mcbride and that the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty company, was
compelled to pay out $525 to one or
the heirs of the estate, that company
commenced suit in the court of COM
mon pleas today asking Judgment for
S525 from Wallace Mcbride.
The petition states that on Nov. 29,
1904 II entered into an agreement
whereby 1t furnished bond guarantee
ing the faithful performance of this
trust by Wallace Mcbride. 1t Is al
legged that Mcbride failed to perform
his duties and that he refused to
pay Wellington Mcbride his share of
the estate. On April 2, 1909 the COM
pany paid Wellington Mcbride the
amount due him. 1t is charged that
the defendant with his wife Laura
Mcbride, conspired to defraud the
plaintiff company. the defendant pur-
chasing lot and having 1t decided to
his wife. A house was later con-
structed on the property. The petition
alleges that the wife knew of the
transaction and entered into it with
intent to defraud the company.
The Home Building and Loan COM
pany holds a mortgage on the prop
| erty and the petition requests that it
he made party defendant and re-
quired to set up its claims.
l. Sheriff Stark today took Charles
Warrenstaff to the Ohio penitentiary
where he will serve one year for fail
| nre to provide for minor child.

The Wilderness.

This theater Of bloody conflicts is n
vast sea, so to speak, Of dense forest
IA second growth more than a century
old. 1t is made up chiefly of scrubby,
low limbed. stubborn oaks and disor-
dered, haggard pines, for the soil Is
cold and thin, with here and there
scattering clumps of alien cedars.
Some of the oaks are large enough to
cut two railroad ties, and every once
and awhile you come across an acre
or two of pines ten to twelve inches In
diameter, tall and tapering. true to the
soaring propensltles of their kind. But
generally, and above all where the bat
tie was fought, the trees are noticeably
stunted and so close together and
thick lower limbs so intermingled with
thick underbrush that 1t is very diff
hcult indeed TO make ones way
through transatlantic Monthly.

Meredi,h's Advice to Stead.

w. Il. Stead tells characteristic
story of George Meredith, which is all
the more appreciable as 1t is told
against himself.
"He was a true friend" says Mr..
Stead, mot less faithful in criticism
than he was cordial in his appreciation.
or the former l remember well the
neat way In which he put me out of
conceit with my first attempt to write
a story sent him my little effort
with fear and trembling. My treplda-
tlon was not without warrant. 4 have
read "From the Old World TO the
New,"' he wrote, Some of the char.
acters are interesting and well drawn.
One of them especially reminds me of
Cecil Rhodes. But II any one of your
friends tells you that he likes the story
as story don't believe him.

'~The late Edward Everett Hale"
said Boston magazine editor, was
n great student of child life.
"Dr. Hale once dilated to me on the
incorrigibly bad taste in books that
children have. He instanced the case
Of his own son, now famous archi-
tect, whose taste he had hard time
forming.
"The little boy, II seemed, cared only
for the sensational In literature. Jack
Harkaway and Deadwood Dick SEEM
ed to him the very topmost pinnacle
of literary excellence. He yawned
over the splendid historical works his
father read to him.
zone day, however, DR.. Hale had a
gleam Of hope. The little boy brought
him a volume of English history and
said:
"will you read me some more out
OF this, pleaser
"Why, certainly. my boy the
father answered cordially. What part
would you like to haver

WHAT DOES
THE LAW SAY?
This is the Question Which
Puzzles.
DISBURSEMENTS ARE COMMON
Heads of Departments are
Interested.
Some Maintain That the New Mayor
VIII Have the Power TO Remove
the Police and Fire Chiefs and They
are Denied the Right of Appeal.

The interpretations OF the new
public service laws which will be in
vogue the first of the year. are many
and varied. In fact. nobody seems
to know exactly the meaning of GER
tain clauses, at least no two persons
seem to agree.
A point in the new law which is
perhaps discussed more than any
other Is the clause which removes the
chiefs of the fire departments from
civil service. Some attorneys say
that he new mayor will have the un-
contested right to dismiss the chiefs
of the police and fire departments
without these officials having any
right OF appeal. Others claim that
the chiefs will have the same right
of appeal as other members of the
department and declare that in case
that an unjust attempt to remove
them is made, that the heads of the
departments can present their case
for final judgment to the civil serv-
ice commission. This commission
will be selected by n committee COM
posed of the president OF the board
Of education. president of council and
president of the sinking fund trus-
tees. 1t has been argued that the
two chiefs will have no right of
appeal to the commission because of
the fact that they are entirely out OF
the restrictions of civil service law.
This seems to be the most plausible
version OF the new law.
Conceedlng that the new mayor
will have the right TO oust the chiefs
| of police and fire departments, he
will not have the power to dismiss
other employees of these departments
| without Just cause and then the
| case can be appealed to the civil
| service commission.
Another peculiar feature of the
new law Is the fact that the new
mayor will be compelled to select an
| experienced police officer or fireman
to fill the appointment of chief. He
can go entirely outside of the two
| departments and select farmer as
! chief of either one, II he so de-
sires.
If all able interpretations of the
new law are true, the next mayor OF
Marion will have whole big lot OF
power. In politics. like in war, tC
the victor belongs the spoils. Thi!
means that the man who expects t'
make q strong race for the position o
| chief executive. will probably have tc
make some prediction promises tC
his many friends who are candidates
for appointments.
One candidate for mayor Informed
a Mirror reporter Friday evening
that he has been bounded nearly tC
| death by politicians ambitious fol
appointments. 1t Is certain that tho
man who wins the fight will certainly
earn the victory and about all he vii
get out of the job after he is elected
| will be power"

Swiss FLAGS.

The Swiss flag is red, and 1t bears a
Greek cross In its center. The Switzers
declared their independence in 1907,
and at the battle OF Morgarten, 1915,
where the Austrlans were defeated,
they carried plain red flag without
any device. During the seventeenth
century white cross was added,
though it is said that the cross APP
peared on some Swiss flags as early as
1889. The different cantons of Swift
zerland have different coats OF arms
and different flags,

verdi's Secrecy.

Verdi observed great secrecy con-
cerning his operas, even to his busi-
ness associates, and 1t Is said that the
first intimation his business managers,
the Records, received of the compost
tion Of "Falstaff" was toast offered
by Boito, who at supper one night,
when the publisher and his wife were
present, slyly glanced at Verdi and
proposed u health to the "fat knight
at which 1t seemed Verdi and Boito
had been working for months.
