Committee Appointed by Judge
Roast the Preble Com
missioners.
THEIR REPORT is PRoBED
STATEMENTS MADE BY THE
COUNTY BOARD is A DRASTIC
CRITICISM OF THE METHODS
OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
palladium Specially

Eaton, O., Dec. 9.-"With little
more sand you would be first-class
officials
This statement concerning the CON-
missioners of Preble county is made
by a committee composed of Prose
cutting Attorney Hugh r. Gilmore. G..
A. Balser and A. NJ. Grislor. appoint
ed by Judge Elan Fisher, of the COM
mon pleas count. to make an investi-
cation of the report of the county
commissioners.
The report is the most stirring and
drastic ever made in the history of
the county. While none Of the county
officers are singled out, much general
criticism is offered upon the methods
that have been in vogue for years. 1t
deals in a lengthy manner on the ex-
penditure of the county's money and
offers methods and suggestions pur-
ported to correct the extravagances.
Coroner is Toasted.
In the budget County Coroner P. H.
O'Hara is drawn over the Goals" for
needless and unauthorized inquest
held during the past year. OF the
nineteen held quite a number were I'M
authorized by law. The committee
suggests that expense vouchers used
in each inquest be itemized and in
spected by the commissioners before
being allowed.
The number of days consumed dur
ing the year by the county surveyor
is criticised.
Investigation of the committee into
the cost of supplies for the court
house officials evoked the worst criti-
cism in the budget. Here great ex-
travagance was found. and the COM
mittee suggest plans to decrease the
sum paid for these articles. In one
office last year was used scratch pads
that cost $50. In another office pen
holders for the year cost $3.50 and
pens $14. Pencils listed at Is cents
per dozen have been sold to the coun-
ty for IS cents. By allowing these
bills, says the committee, the com
missioners were imposed upon.
The practice of some officials in
using embossed letter heads and en-.
velopes, costing from $40 to $26 per
thousand, was attacked
Sheriff Boner was criticised for not
having on file hts annual report. 1t
is illegal to pay his salary until this
has been done.
In offering an explanation for the
high supply account the budget tells
how articles. such as opera glasses,
macintosh, fishing rod, etc., may be
bought of statesmen by the officials
for personal use and billed to the
county under stamp of pencils, court
recorder pen holders.
It is suggested that all articles for
the county be opened by the auditor
or the commissioners and thoroughly
inspected before bill for payment is
allowed.

A Famous Roman Salon.
From Scrihncr' g.

From Scribncr g.
The salon of Clodia on the Palatine and
in her villa on the seashore at Baiae drew
together the foremost politicians poets
and orators OF the time--ncn of the older
generate like Cicero and Metallus
young men like her brother Clodius the
brilliant and erratc tribune, or CaeIius
whom Cicero calls the best informed
politician in Rome 1.-The burning eyes''
of Clodia, which Cicero celebrates in his
fierce attack upon her, her brilliant wit.
her versatile character, her skill AS a
dancer, her abandon and bohemianisn
her Claudian pride and contempt for pop
ular opinion all marks of that tierv
southern temperament which could find
no middle course between love and hate
which would hesitate for no scruple and
be thwarted by no obstacle.
She tired Of CatulluS, and he poured
upon her all the Walls of his wrath and
Scorn. She failed to ensnare Cicero and
she avenged herself upon him by driving
him into exile and taking his property
from him. She was Tilted and laughed at
by the onCe-devoted Cactus. and conse-
quently brought charge of attempted
murder against him ard almost comprised
his ruin Whether She deserved the abuse
which CatullUs heaps upon her i'm his
later poems, whether she merits the cpl
taph of the .three-eent Clytemnestra'
which Caelius puts upon her, or is the
Pilatine Medea" whom Cicero paints her
in his defense of Cactus, we may never
know.

SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH.
Gen. Woods Recommendations to
Increase Mobility.

y substantial increase in tie infantry
arm OF the service is urged by Gen.
Wood, commanding the department. in
report To the War Department. He says
that especial attention should be paid
TO developing mobility, to instruction III
swimming, night work, the use of bay
one and entrenchinE tools, and the use
of the rifle under conditions Stimulating
as closely as possible those of war. He
also advocates the adoption of a proper
pack, saying that the present method OF
carrying the equipment and ration is I'M
satisfactory, clumsy and difficult esue-
cialiy when the troops are passing OBJ
stacles or moving rapidly over rough
country. The load, he says, should be re-
duced to q minimum and squads should
be made as permanent possible and
squad leaders carefully developed
THE art of marching commands says
Gen. Wood, should be carefully studied
and the men given all possible instruc-
ton as to the best manner of walking,
care of the feet and given sufficient en-
ercise under the load to become accus-
toned to it. Attention is also invited to
the necessity OF eliminating all officers
who are physically unfit for hard field
service"

Rev. DR.. Charles F. Steck. pastor of
the Frederick, Md, Lutheran Church and
president of the Maryland Synod of the
Lutheran Church, which includes the
District of Columbia, has been chosen as
the first pastor of the Independent Luth-
eran congregation OF Washington.
The election took place last night at
called meeting of the congregation. held
in the hall of the organization at 1.S22
Vermont avenue northwest. DR.. Steck,
it is understood, is favorably disposed
toward the call and will doubtless an
nounce acceptance within d short time.
The selection OF DR.. Steck, one of the
leading ministers in the entire Maryland
synod, to take up the work of the indie
pendent congregation, which is made up
of those members who withdrew from
the Luther Place Memorial Church last
January after a disagreement with the
pastor, the late Rev. DIR. John George
Butler, will come surprise to many
LutheranS in the National Capital.
1t has been known in inner church cir
cles for some time that the new congre-
CATION was considering a call to one OF
the foremost preachers of the church.
But the news did not escape. A special
committee of the congregation chosen to
secure pastor met several evenings ago
and unanimously reported as in favor of
DR.. Steck.
The pastors name was proposed to the
congregational meeting last night as the
choice of the committee. He was chosen
at once.
DIR. Steck has had charges in Louisville,
Ky; Springfield, Ohio, where Wittenberg
College is located, and later at Frederick,
Md. Re has just been reelected presi-
dent of the Maryland Synod of the Lu-
theran Church.
1t is expected that Dr. Steck will ar
range his affairs in Frederick at once
so that he may take up the work of the
new congregation here at the earliest
possible moment. ..,..
No arrangements have been made for
the esta blishment of a permanent church
home for the Independent congregation.

UNCLE SAM TO PARTICIPATE.
Believed Agreement Has Been
Reached Over Chinese Loan.

Although no official information has
reached the State Department that the
governments of England, Germany and
France have reached a definite conclu-
sion on all points with respect to Ameri-
can participation III the Hankow railroad
loan of $4,000, 900, there is abundant rea-
son for the belief that such an agreement
has practically been reached.
Public announcement to that effect may
be forthcoming at any time.
There is no doubt. according to latest
developments. that the United States will
participate in this loan equal terms
with the other three nations, not only as
to the amount of the loan, but also as
to supplying materials to be used in the
construction Of the road and also as to
the naming Of engineers to superintend
the work.
