HARMON AT TER GRAF TIERS

Columbus. Ohio. January 3.-When the
seventy-eighth general assembly. met to-
day probe of state departments which
was inaugurated recently by Governor
Harmon was given further impetus by
the voting of an appropriation of $780,
600
The senate also adopted resolution
providing for a legislative investigation
by commission of four into all depart
ments If this resolution goes through
there will be two probes in progress. but
the governor will devote his time large
ly to investigation of what he considers
evidence of Illegal collection of interest
on state funds by state treasurers and
of graft In state purchases.
The first regular session of the seventy
eighth assembly of Ohio was called to
order by Speaker Granville Mooney in
the house and Lieut.. Gov. Francis W.
Treadway in the senate. The senate con-
sists of 30 republicans and IA democrats
There are 40 democratic members in the
house and So republicans, two members
having died
The speech of Speaker Mooney advo-
Gated a public utilities commission on
the line of the New York body and de-
clares for ample appropriation for
thorough and open probe of all the
offices In the state house. He also rec
ommends an amendment of the laws as
regards the taxation of corporations This
proposition is understood TO have been
sanctioned by President Taft himself dur
Inc
at the White House last week.
According to the leading republicans
the republican majority Is ready TO
carry out many of the recommendations
of Governor Harmon.
Governor Harmon in his annual mes
sage to the general assembly recon-
mend-d abolition of boards of trustees
and stewards of the 10 penal, reforma-
tory and benevolent institutions OF the
state and the substitution of a single
board of management claiming that it
will save the state much money.
The farms and ordinary homes pay
more than their fair share of taxes" he
said, land therefore all property should
be valued for taxation by uniform rule
As the constitution commands. bill
will be presented reducing the present
limitation of the tax rate in proportion to
the increase in the duplicate. This will
prevent any rise in the total amount of
taxes levied without the vote of the
people.
1T recommend that general taxation
board be created.
Let the tax rate be reduced as by the
true valuation of all other property 1T
will be, many think, to as low as
per cent, as has been the case in 9TH
er states and the chief source of the
trouble is removed The sense OF injus
tice is gone. Men are at least, less like
ly 20 resort to subterfuge or false re-
turns to escape what they must regard
as just and fair

Nagel and Mitchell Talk of
Employers Liability Laws

CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-secretary Nagel Of
the Department of Commerce and Labor
was the guest of honor last night at the
banquet of the Commercial club at the Con-
gress hotel and discussed the question Of
employers liability.
After reviewing what has been done in
the past toward establishing regal liabil-
ity OF the employer and the conditions
which have led to much legislation, Mr..
Nagel said;
II have no question about the right, the
proprety, the wisdom of such legislation
up to a certain point Tn question Is,
where shall the line be drawn, to put It
broadly, shall the employer be compelled
10 pay for the recklessness of his emp
ploye? Such legislation would plainly de-
clare for compulsory charity, paternalism,
pure and simple. SO far the liability OF
an employer has been based upon the idea
OF his responsibility, his part in the act
out of which the injury arises. We have
not Travelled beyond that rule. Shall we
do II? For we must remember that as
soon as we abandon the old foundation.
we embark on an entirely new principle

BOYS BETTER "FLUNKERS"
THAN GIRLS AT UNIVERSITY
List of Those Failing I'm Studies at
Nebraska Institution Growing
Smaller.
(From a staff CorrespondentD


LINCOLN. Feb. s0-(Special)-A list of
failures in the various departments Of the
state university for the last semester shows
that of the total number OF ''flunkers' 30
per cent are boys and only 20 per cent girls.
Five boys failed TO pass in one or more
studies during that semester for every coed
that could make per cent of eO-the pass
ing grade--in her classes.
In other years the failures among the
boys have always outnumbered those OF
the 'co-eds, but the variance has never been
so startling as that revealed by the figures
for the first semester Of the present school
year.
The number OF failures in toto this year
has been considerably smaller than in pre.
vious terms. but the decrease Of "funkers"
has been made among the girls AS yet
there Is but a slight Improvement of the
study habit OF the boys.
The delinquent committee, which was es-
tAblished last fall, has effected the decrease
OF failures among the girls, because the
90 eds fearing public exposure. have worked
harder than their sisters did Ia other years.
; In ,the various sororities the older girls
have forced the freshmen to do conscien-
tious work in ordei 30 keep the Greek So
eieties from failing into disregard with the
faculty.
The report for the past semesters proves
that there are not many failures among the
sororiJies; in fact, the record OF the Greek
oo-eds IS better than that OF the girls out
side the sorori'ias.

Fast Passenger
Jumps from Track
Making Up Time
Pennsylvania Flyer, While Regaining
Lost Half Hour, Loses Nearly
Half Day.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb 2c.-As Pennsyl-
vania train No. 80, which usually makes
New York in twenty-four hours from st.
Louis, was seeking to regain about thirty
minutes lost time by a fast run over a
level stretch of the Panhandle division,
five Of its six cars Jumped the track a mile
west of Scio, o., at 8 o'clock today The
twenty-nine passengers aboard. most Of
whom were asleep, were shaken from their
berths and some suffered from shocks, but
none was injured seriously enough to re-
quire surgical attention.
Two hours later they were transferred to
west-bound train, which ran back sew
enty-five miles to Pittsburg. whence they
took another train to New York
Traffic was delayed about three hours.
The railroad officials believe that broken
rail caused the wreck. Neither the locomo-
tive nor the mail car left the rails and the
other cars fortunately remained upright
after their plunge from the track.

"Ra1Se Maine,"
War Veterans
Resolution
g at New York, Attended by
mer Captain of Wsrship,
Urges This Action.

NE RK, Feb. 2O-Mldway in it's
course daine memorial service Of the
United, = th War Veterans, held this
afternoS Carnegie hall, turned into
demonst Ion to influence congress to
raise the battleship Maine. BY a rising vote
an audience which filled the hall adopted
a resolution condemning the Spectacle of
the rusted hulk of the ship and the rotten
bones of the victims abandoned without
sepulcher In alien waters" and urging that
congress enact legislation for the imme-
diate removal of the wreck 70 our shores
and the recovery Of the remains of the
unclaimed victims for interment in the ma
tional cemetery at Arlington"
A copy Of the resolution will be sent to
the president and vice president. the secre-
tary of the navy and the members Of the
senate and house of representatives.
Representative william Sulzer Of New
York, who has been trying to get bill to-
raise the Main through the house for sew
eral years, was the chief speaker at the
meeting.
"our derelection in this matter" he said
''is little less than national disgrace.
1t is becoming a btg black blot on our
boasted patriotism. 1 have been often
asked why congress refused to pass this
bill. 1 can only say that I do not know.
l have never been given an adequate
reason for the delay. Perhaps some peo-
pie think it was blown up from the inside
and by raising the wreck II this should
prove to be the case, we would stultify
ourselves. But that argument is too pre-
posterous for consideration. The board
Of inquiry that made the investigation at
the time. certified that the Maine was
blown up by an external explosion. But
in any event patriotic America is not
afraid of the truth"
Among the other speakers were Joseph
II. Choate, Rear Admiral Sigsbee, former
captain of the Maine, and his chaplain
at the time Of the disaster, Father John
=. Chadwick.
