WORKHOUSE
Sentence Of One Year Given
Jacob Loose
A Former MI. Vernon Man In
Mansfield
(Mansfeld News)

The case of Jacob Loose was taken
up in common pleas court at two
o'clock Saturday afternoon by Judge
Mansfield and disposed of by the
court. Loose, 1t will be remembered,
was indicted by the Richland county
grand Jury some time ago for the nom
support of his family. He was brought
into court and placed on probation.
About a week ago complaint came to
the police department concerning
Loose's actions and he was arrested
late at night at the home of a woman
in rather compromising state Of un-
dress. He was placed in the city Jail
and later released on bond to appear
for trial on the charge of disorderly
conduct.
1t seems that the authorities took
cognizance of matters and the fact
that Loose had not followed the spec
ifications laid down by the court when
he was placed on probation, and the
sheriff arrested him and placed him In
the county Jail. The case was allowed
to rest until Saturday afternoon, when
the prisoner was brought into COM
mon pleas court. Judge Mansfield, it
is stated, handled the case without
gloves. Loose was too old to be sent
out to the Ohio State reformatory and
IL he was sent to the penitetiary, he
would only be placed inthe idle house,
so judge sentenced him to one year
in the Columbus workhouse. L. G.
Mengert appeared as attorney for
loose, and although he made strong
plea for clemency, there was nothing
doing this time.

PASSENGERS LEAP
FROM BURNING ship
All Picked Up By Launches In
Mexican HarbOr.

Mazatlan, Mexico, Feb. 20.-Every-
one in town was on the waterfront
watching the blazing steamer Benito
Juarez as she came toward the har-
Dor under a full head of steam. One
hundred and twelve passengers jump
ed into the shallow water of the bay
and saved their lives. but lost all
baggage.
: The flames were discovered by the
pilot, who boarded the steamer out
side the breakwater. He found the
coal bunkers on fire. The crew
fought vainly with hose and pumps
while the captain got all the passen-
gers on deck.
The flames became 30 hot that the
crew ceased pumping water on the
fire and turned streams on the pas
sengers, whose clothing had begun
to catch fire. Tugs and launches
picked up the passengers in the
water and no one was drowned.

the Government to protect the public

foods and drugs. 1t is beneficial botn
to the public and to the conscientious

To Regulate Salaries.
Indefinite increase in salaries OF
deputies and clerks in county Of
ices will be prevented If a bill
which Senator William N. Shaffer OF
Paulding has drafted becomes law.
He figures 1t will effect saving to
the .SS counties of Ohio of $105,752,
as shown by last years figures.
The commissioners will be left
free to fix the amount for clerk hire
UP to certain limit, and no regular
salaries will be disturbed. The bill
is designed to equalize the expenses
of various county Offices between
counties. Shaffer's bill provides for
a sliding scale in determining the
amount OF money to De expended.
The offices of auditor. treasurer
recorder and probate judge are al.
lowed for clerk hire 25 per cent for
the fist $4,000 collected, 10 per cent
for the next $4,000 and 60 per cent
for all more than that amount. The
clerk of courts and the sheriff's of
| fee are provided with schedules by
which they are allowed 80 per cent
| for the first $4,000 collected, 40 pei
| cent for the next $4,000 and 80 pei
cent for all more than $4,000.
Shaffer has reports of two coun
ties which present conditions which
the bill is designed to remedy. Fol
1910 the smaller of the two counties
had a clerk hire bill Of s4,320. Under
the new apportionment 1t would re
ceive only $1,992.92. A county twice
as large received only $3,2l6.50, ant
Under the new scheme would receive
| S4,115.
Another feature Of the bill is that
1t would encourage county officials tc
pay mere attention to the collection
| of fees due the county.
