A SCHEDULE CHANGE
On Ohio Electric Makes the
Farmers Angry.
palladium Specially


EATON, O., Dec. 2O.-Because SER.
vice along the Ohio Electric Railway
company's lines in the country has
been changed by a new schedule plac-
ed into effect, local cars now being run
at two hour intervals instead of every
hour, a great dissatisfaction has been
caused among farmers. and a suit to
make the company resume the old
schedule will probably be filed. The
county commissioners have been ap-
pealed to, and the advisability Of a
suit is now being given consideration
by county prosecuting attorney Hugh
r. Gilmore. According to the provis-
ions of the franchise under which the
lines are operated in this county cars
may be stopped hourly at points de-
signed by the commissioners, and at
distances at not less than one-fourth
mile apart. Not only has a howl Of pro-
test been set up by farmers, but many
who have employment in Dayton and
Richmond, Ind, have shown dissatis-
faction.

POLICE LOOK FOR
A MYSTERIOUS MAN

What was thought by the police to
be an attempt to work some sort of a
skin" game was when a man appear
ed at several east end homes this
morning and requested to look at fur
naces. saying he was from Springfield.
When asked why he wished to look at
the furnace he invariably attempted
to evade the question.
The police were notified by one
woman, who became alarmed. and a
patrolman was sent to that section of
the city. but the man had evidently
become frightened and left that Sec
ton. According to the description Civ
en- by the woman who informed the
police the man was about 40 years old,
weighed $50 pounds, wore a dark suit
and soft black hat. Other patroImen
were instructed to be on the lookout
for the man, as it is thought he might
be wanted elsewhere

NEW CASTLE, Ind, Dec 90
James Adkins of Richmond, a Penn
sylvania employe. was saved from a
horrible death Monday afternoon at the
Pennsylvania station by Ernest Newly
former member of the local police de-
partment. Adkins attempted to board
the eastbound passenger train, No. 18,
while it was in motion and while he
was in an intoxicated condition. He
missed the step and fell on the rails.
Fortunately the train was moving
slowly and Newby was able to jerk
the man from his perilous position be-
fore the rear trucks of passenger car
bore down on him. Adkins seemed de-
termined to board the train and
fought Newly in an attempt to get
away. He was powerless in the grip
OF the giant .ex-policeman, who turned
the drunken brakeman over to Patrol
man Leakey after the train had pass
ed.
Sent to the Workhouse.
Adkins was placed in Jail and when
arraigned this morning before Mayor
Barnard in the police court entered a
plea of guilty. He was fined SIS and
costs by the mayor. The prisoner was
without funds and went to the work
house for fifteen days.
The action of Newly in saving the
drunken mans life was witnessed by
a large crowd. A cry of horror arose
when Adkins fell under the moving
train 1t seemed certain that he would
be ground to pieces until the timely
and prompt action of Newly prevented
the accident.
Adkins had been trying to pick a
quarrel with Newly before the train
started and finally struck at the New
Castle man. who forgot their differ
ences and saved Adkins life moment
later. Even after Newly had dragged
him away from death, Adkins insisted
on fighting.

TAFT ADVISES
REDUCTION OF
SCHEDULE ~
(Nationai News Associate NJ

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-The first
gun of the tariff battle of the sixty
second congress was fired by Pres-
dent Taft today in a special message
to the nations lawmakers. urging that
Schedule X of the tariff, relating to
wool, be revised and the rates given
therein reduced. The President ex-
plains his veto of the wool bill passed
by the last session by stating that in
his judgment the measure was framed
without underlying data.
The President tells of his appoint
ment of the tariff board, which, in &C.
cordance with his instructions direct
ly made report on schedule K, and
was unanimous in its recommends
tions for a general reduction in rates.
although making no specific recon-
mendations.
The report. the President states,
shows that the present method of as
sessing raw wool operates to exclude
wools of high shrinkage in securing,
but fine quality, from the American
market and thereby lessons the range
of woods available to the domestic
manufacturer.

McManigal States that Won
Spreckleson "Jobs" Were
Perpetrated by an Iron
Workers Director.
BIG HANDICAP FOR
PROSECUTOR BAKER
Statue of Limitations on the
crime Has Expired-U. S.
Indictments Are the Only
Possibility.
(Eational News Association)

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2O.-Ortie E.
McManigal has confessed that it was
a member of the executive board OF
the iron workers union in this city
who did the Won Spreckleson dyna-
miting in indianapolis the night of
October 30, 1909. McManigal has stat
ed that he was so informed by the Of
ficial himself, and was also informed
by J. B. Mcnamara. The official at
present is active in the international
association, and it is neither J. B.,
nor ]. J. Mcnamara nor McManigal
himself.
Prosecutor Baker of the Marion
county grand jury took steps Tuesday
to open an investigating into the local
dynamiting, by subpoenaeing Walter
Drew of the National ErectOrs' assO-
citation, who recently stated that Bak-
er is welcome to the use of the infor-
nation on which at least nine Indiana
citizens can be indicted.
Drew will appear before the grand

dictments cannot be returned against
the alleged commissioner of the Won
SDceckleson dynamitings by Marion
county grand jury because the statute
of limitations against the crimes ran
out Oct. 20, or nearly two months ago.
Had McManigal's confession been in
the hands of the prosecutor at the
time he made the first investigation
of the dynamiting cases, shortly after
McNamara's arrest last spring, and
had Baker co-oberative evidence to
back up McManigars story, such the
'fedosol acknowledgements now believed
to hold, the indictment of the official
might have been effective. Baker
says Burns and his people showed no
disposition to cooperate with him in
the first investigation and that is the
reason the investigation fizzled out.
On the other hand Burns, Badorf
and Drew have criticised Baker for
not proceeding with the investigation,
branding Baker as man who has
missed the opportunity of a life time.
These facts leave only the possibility
of federal indictments against the per
son who did the Won Spreckleson jobs,
and those who conspired with and for
him in having it done. 1t is not
thought probable that federal in the
Won Spreckleson cases will be for any
thing but conspiracy, whereas had not
the statute of limitations against the
crime in the state jurisdiction expired
state indictment might be more direct
and specific against the Won Spreckle-
son explosions.
