so POLICEMEN WILL
LOSE THEIR PLACES

Columbus, O.-Rioting was the
most serious in many respects that
has taken place since the street rail-
road strike began. Two women and a
child on the west side were shot down
by a man in an automobile. The
chauffeur told the police the shooter
was John F. Brady, leader of the i'm
ported carmen now in the tciy. He
has disappeared. Unsuccessful efforts
TO blow up three cars on the Front
and Fourth street viaducts were
made. Over score of carmen, one
passenger and two policemen were
injured Most of them were stoned
and some were assaulted. Seventeen
arrests were made. The first test of
placing officers on cars was not re-
garded by Mayor Marshall as a sue
cess. Decentralization of the police
department reached its climax when
fifty members of the force refused
point blank to ride on cars. They
will be discharged.

No Pardon for McInnis.

Gov. Noel has reached a final con.
clusion in regard to the case of ex.
Sheriff D. c. McInnis of Simpson
county, petition for whose pardon has
been in the hands of the governor for
some time. The petitioner, as tbs
court records show, pleaded guilty tt
one of several counts in an indictment
against him, charging him with misap
preparation or misapplication of coun
ty funds, for which he was res ponsi
BILE, and was given a sentence of one
year in the county Jail, together with
a fine and taxation for costs, which
latter amounted to something like
$1,000. He was afterwards tried on
another indictment or account
and was convicted and sentenced tC
seven years in the penitentiary, Ehich
however, was reversed by the supreme
court. Then followed efforts to secure
a remission of the costs assessed
against him, which have been so stout.
ly contested that the governor was
constrained to give his decision
against McInnis.
