Two Shot by Updyke-one is Dead
and Other Will Die.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-B. D. Up
dyke, nephew of former Gov. Chas.
N. Haskell, is a fugitive from justice,
while in the city morgue is the body
Of A. R Christensen with a wound
through the mouth and brain, and in
the city hospital lies T. D. Anderson
hrother-in-law of the fugitive, with
two bullet holes through his lungs and
his death expected.
1t appears that Updyke had been
quarreling with his wife. Her cries
aroused Anderson, who is the husband
of Updyke's sister, and he came up
just as Christensen, an electrical engi-
neer, of Chicago, was demonstrating
with Updyke. The later, it is said
then drew a revolver and began firing.

Finds Mismanagement.


An astounding story of official neg
lect and mismanagement is told by
Examiner w. E. Heck in his report of
a special examination made of the mu-
nicipal waterworks of Newark, O., at
the behest of a number of prominent
citizens. Examiner Heck reports find
ings for recovery by the city amount
ing to the large sum of $38,S19 and in
addition says there were illegal pay
ments of about $4,000. The water
works department issued $4,000 of
bonds without getting the approval of
the people. The proceeds of bonds is
sred were placed in banks and no in
terest was collected. The examiner
says that interest is owed the city
from banks to large amount. Coun-
cilmen drew too much salary, eXces-
sive payments were made for labor
and material; land was purchased I'M
lawfully; pipe was bought without
either advertising or competitive bid
ding and numerous other irregular
practices were followed.

Columbus.-Practical work, looking
to the problem of raising necessary
revenue in each taxing district under
a ten-mill limit, has been inaugurated
by the state tax commission. Agents
OF the commission have started to
scour the state to learn the exact rate
or taxation in each district which will
produce the amount of revenue raised
in 1909 and the size of duplicate
necessary to procure the money at
one per cent.

dations of Governor Harmon in his
message to the legislature. 1t was de-
feated last year because nobody had
figures. Claims were advanced that
big cities and small school districts
could not boost their duplicates high
enough to raise the necessary funds
on the low limit. That argument can
not prevail this year.

curing information that will give in
innate knowledge of conditions in
every corner of the state Joe F. Teb-
bon of Celina and John R. Mcknight
of lronton have been employed for
the work, and Field Agent Peter E.
Dempsey has been called into the
office.
The commission is sitting as the
state board of equalization on the real
estate duplicates as made up by the
Aquadrennial appraisers. Ten years
go this work was done by an ex-
i3ensive, cumbersome board of 80
members, in session for six months
The three tax commissioners must
complete the job by April /. Unlike
the old board, which could not change
the total, the commission can make
any alterations, or can order a reap
praisement of an entire county or any
separate parcel of property.

Centennial Given a Start.


First definite steps looking tow
ards the celebration of the cen
tennial Of the founding of the
state capital at Columbus were taken
recently at the joint meeting of the
chamber OF commerce committee and
the members of the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Harmon and ex-
Mayor Bond, when it was decided to
go before the legislature for an ap-
preparation, to establish a bureau for
the dissemination of information and
to appoint two honorary commission
ers in each of the 88 counties of the
state. These honorary commission
ers will be persons of the widest
knowledge and influence in their re-
spective communities. The commits
sion hopes thus to enlarge the idea
of the statewide character of the
celebration and to provide itself, in
In this manner, with sources of in
formation regarding each community,
its history and the part it has played
In the progress of the state.
The committee extended it's organi-
zation by employing T. T. Franken-
berg to be secretary of the joint com.
mittee and commission. The work of
disseminating information regarding
the proposed centennial will be under
his immediate charge. Mr.. Hoe re-
ported that after a conference with
State School Commissioner Zeller he
had found him agreeable to the pro-
posed idea of getting the school chill
dren of Ohio to unite in a penny con-
tributiOn, with which to erect mon
ument to Christopher Columbus, the
unveiling of which is to be promi-
nent feature of the centennial ZelIer
proposes to furnish series of his
torical leaflets bearing ON the early
history of OHIO and the commission
will distribute these to the schools of
the state. These leaflets are to be
used as lesson helps in history in the
various grades wherein that branch
is taught.
Want Broader Powers.
Concerted efforts by the cities of
the state may be made before the leg
islature for the amendment of the
statute governing the cities control of
public utility corporations, to give
cities power to require full semi
annual reports of their financial con-
dition. The question has become espe-
cially acute in the cities which are
now attempting to fix gas rates, with
out being furnished sufficient data by
the companies. In nearly every in
stance, as in Columbus, councils have
been refused examinations of books.
