IMPERILED BY PAROLE DECISION
It May Affect Many State Appointive
Officers and Commissions.

The Illinois Supreme Court, by its
claring the law establishing the parole
board to be unconstitutional, has caus-
ed a political panic in the Statehouse.
Interpretation of the opinion by State
officers who prefer not to talk yet for
publication is that close construction
of the Joyce opinion lnakes it extreme
~ problematical whether more than
one-half of the appointive officers and
commissions of the State are constitu-
tional or that the men holding these
places can lawfully draw their salaries.
These officers and commissions are
declared to be in the identical predica-
ment with the parole board, which WIS
wiped off the map by the Supreme
Court decision.
The board of administration of public
charities.
The fire marshal.
The pure food commission.
The Pontiac reformatory board.
The mining investigating commits
sion.
The secretaries to the Supreme jus
tees.
The greater scare attached to the
hidden paragraph in the Dunn opinion
comes from a close reading of the jul
dicial view that an act creative of IN
Office or a commission, which is silent
in its title as to the salary or compen-
sation of the officer or board therein
named, but which in the body of the
bill establishes, provides, or appro-
PIRATES for compensation of these Off
GERS, is unconstitutional so far as 1t
applies to payment.

ZERO WEATHER CLOSES SCHOOLS.
Indiana and Ohio Snowfall of go
Inches Frozen as Mercury Falls.


Zero weather froze solid the nine to
twenty inches of snow covering Indi-
ana. Schools in indianapolis and most
of the smaller cities of the state were
closed. Travel on the interurban cleo
trio railways was slow and uncertain
and many highways were blocked by
drifts. The temperature dropped
sharply at the close Of a forty-eight
hour snowstorm and registered from
2 to 6 degrees below zero in different
sections of the state. The public
schools at Marion, O., were dismissed
the other day, as practically none of
the children was able to reach the
buildings. A snowfall of nineteen
inches covers the streets. The heavy
fall caused the collapse of the $10,-
600 frame auditorium at GAINESVILLE.
Complaints are coming in from central
Ohio farming districts that live stock
is suffering from lack of water, as the
small streams are frozen up.

PARDON PUTS HIM IN GOOD JOB.

Ohio Convict Released So He Can

Governor Harmon of Ohio has par

rolled some time ago from the peniten-
stiary, so he could leave the State and
accept lucrative position in West
Virginia. Jenkins is now foreman in
a tin plate mill at Uhrichsville, and a
paroled prisoner cannot leave the
State Jenkins was in company with
another man who killed a nan in a
saloon row at East Liverpool and got
a ten-year sentence.

FEARS LAW; LEAVES KIN TO DIE
Cleveland Man Hunts Coroner While
Enther-in-IaM Hangs. Alive.

Cleveland Man Hunts Coroner While
Father-in-Law Hangs, Alive.
A mfsconception of American law on
the part of Otto Pich gave John Ia
hour, his father-in-law, ten minutes ex-
ira in which to die. Pich found the
old man hanging in the pantry of his
home in Cleveland. He was still alive,
but Pich says he believed him dead.
Pich had heard that it was illegal for
anyone but the coroner to disturb
hanging man, and he left at once in
search of somebody who could summon
that official. Meeting a policeman he
explained the case to him. The police
man made a quick run for the Zahour
home and succeeded in cutting the
father-in-law down before life was ex-
tinct. Zahour died in an ambulance,
however, on the way to hospital.
