SC|OTO COUNTY
NOW BEING
Investigated For Alleged
Election Offenses-County
Chairman Will Present
Expense Accounts.


Portsmouth, o., Jan. 16.-Follow-
ing the announcement of Judge A. II.
Blair who conducted the probe into
the vote selling in Adams county of
his intentions TO place the alleged vote
selling i'm Scioto county before the
grand jury Wednesday, Republican
County Chairman Joseph p Mickle-
thwaite and Democratic Chairman
John p. Bremen declare they will &c
before the jury and give every as
sistance possible.
The men will take with them for
jury inspection a complete list of eX-
penses of both parties in the last cam
paign. They say they welcome an in
vestigation and doubt that any ir-
regularities will be found as they
were in Adams county. Citizens gen.
orally are cOmmending the attitude
of Judge Blair but there is a feeling
that the probe will not go deep.
Judge Blair will remain in Ports
mouth while the investigation is be-
ing made by the grand jury. He will
offer the same immunity to the vote
buyers as he did to those in Adams
county.
Prosecutor Horace l.. Small said to-
day that he would work hand in hand
with Judge Blair and that he be.
| lieved that thorough investigation
should be made at once.

RESCUES DOG
FROM QUARRY
David Vestal Helps n Dog Which was
Nearly Drowned.

Since he discovered and rescued
from drowning two children who had
fallen into the lake in the old Fair
banks quarry, two years ago, David
Vestal, the truant officer for the city
never passes the quarry without look
ing to see If any other person or thing
has fallen in. At noon today he was
rewarded by seeing a dog which had
broken through the thin ice. The dog
had evidently been in the water for
some time. He had broken the Ice
for quite a distance but as he neared
the shore, the ice was thicker and
the dog was so nearly tuckered ou;
that he could not climb out.
Mr.. Vestal called a young man who
was passing and by throwing stones
to break the ice near the shore were
able to rescue the canine. When got
ten out on the bank the dog was un-
able to stand. He was carried to Mr..
Vestars home and when thoroughly
warmed was turned out to find his
way home.

Final Campaign Will Open
Tonight.
MUST RAISE ABOUT $4,000
Or Association Will be Clos
ed Forever.
Banquet at the Association VIII For
mally Launch the Renewal of the
Project--It Is Now up to Marion to
Either Give or Reject the Y. VI. G.

With banquet to 100 workers and
those interested in the success of the
project, there will be renewal to-
night of the Y NJ c. A. campaign to
raise $50,O00 for the modernization Of
the association building.
over $4,000 was secured in sub
scriptions during the campaign i'm
December and on account of the hol-
idays the work was postponed until
this month.
Beginning tomorrow the twenty
teams of five men each will go into the
field and ask Marion people to give
the remaining $4,000 that is neces-
sary to perpetuate the Y. NJ. G. A.
In Marion. This money must be raised
or the building must be closed. The
trustees have issued this ultimatum.
The association is now i'm debt about
$4,000. 1t will require $1,000 to carry
the association over the next two
years while the pledges are being coll
lected and the building remodelled.
The remaining $4,000 will be used
in remodelling the structure. Another
| floor will be added and dormitori 4,
that will help the association to be-
come self sustaining, will be arranged.
The association will occupy the whole
building and the interior will be so
changed that a member to reach the
baths and bowling alleys will not have
to climb several flights of stairs and
then descend several more flights 70
reach the basement. BY making the
| building modern throughout 1t is be-
lieved that the membership will be
| practically doubled.
| The Y. NJ. c. A. educational features
will be enlarged and young men of
Marion, unable to pursue their stu
dies on account of lack of money, will
be able to attend Y. NJ. C. A. classes
| In the evenings and work themselves
| to higher positions in the business
world. In every way the association
will be better able to further the in
terests of the young men, who, as has
been often stated, is the greatest as
set any community may have.
No subscriptions will be solicited
at the banquet tonight. Speeches will
be made by men who have been in
| Y. M. c. A. work for years and who
have been through contests of this
kind. Helpful hints will be given
the solicitors and everyone encour-
aged to do or die in this cause. II
is now up to Marion people to either
give literally or see the greatest In
stitution in the community closed for
| ever.

shippers Protest.

Washington, Jan. 16-The pro-
posed freight rate increases on sixty
commodities such as iron, coal and
coarse wool by railroads operating be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
were bitterly attacked by western
shippers in a final hearing before the
Interstate Commerce commission to-
day. A saving of more than $4,000
900 annually for the shippers, or an
equal amount of profit for the rail-
roads hinges on the decision of the
commission, said the shippers. The
roads declared the rate advances nee
essary, in order to carry forward their
progressive policy. The increased cost
of material used by them, and the ad-
vance in the wages of their employees
they say, had placed them in danger
Of operating their lines at an actual
loss. unless they are allowed to in

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 16,-Undisturb
ed by her position, Mrs Edith Melber,
the self-confessed murderess of her
four-year-old boy, today calmly took
up the routine of the Albany county
Jail in which she confined. Closely
guarded to prevent an attempt at sui

her cell reading newspapers.
No visitors are allowed her although
she expressed a desire to see Howard
Kirk. of Schenectady the man who
It Is said she wanted to marry. DR..
C. l.. Bailey, local alienist, examined
her yesterday.
SO little credence is given by the
police to the theory that she was aid
ed in her crime by a man, that prac-
ticaily all investigation along that line
has ended.
She was indicted today.

crease their rates. The commodities
on which they would raise the freight
tariffs were chosen by the railroads.
1t was claimed, because they yielded
a large profit to their shippers than
any of the other carrier on trunk line
territory
The shippers denied that the cost
of railroad materials had advanced.
They declared that traffic profits had
Increased by leaps and bounds during
the past five years and that If the net
returns seemed smaller the fact was
due to unwarranted increases in cap
italization. To grant the increases,
the shippers declared in conclusion.
Is practical robbery of the public.

DISSOLVE THE
!NJUNCT!ONS
This is the Prayer of the
Treasurer's Answers.
AIKEN TAX ON THE DUPLICATE
Wants to be Allowed to Col.
lect The Amounts.
New Bar Docket is About Ready for
The Printer and IL Shows Total of
800 Cases Which Are Now In the
Common Pleas Court.

On November 81, 1910, County Au-
ditor Charles l.. Allen, placed the
names of seven men upon the tax
duplicate for the collection of the
Dow-Aiken tax. The individuals so af
fected were Charles Miller, Herman
Kalkbrenner, Edward Burke, Char
les Bauslnger John and James
O'Keeffe, George Alderman and Will
liam p. Fetter. Each of these men
filed a petition asking for a temper
airy injunction, restraining Treasurer
w. G.. Wottring from collecting the
amounts which had been placed
against them and IN each case tenn
porary injunction was granted.
Saturday evening, Prosecuting At
torney Charles l.. Justice, represent
ing w. c. Wottring as treasurer Of
Marion county filed an answer in
each and all of the cases. In each
petition the treasurer admits the
allegations Of the petitions that he is
the treasurer; that c. l.. Allen is the
auditor; that the county was voted
dry" and that the amounts claim
ed by County Auditor Allen were or
the duplicate for collection together

that the amounts are due and ask
that the petitions be dismissed an

Tax Paying Period Ends at
The Usual Time.
RECEIVES NO INSTRUCTIONS
Treasurer Cannot Keep
Them Open Longer.
Unless Explicit instructions Are Re-
ceivcd From the Attorney General
The Period VIII Not BE Extended
Beyond Week From Wednesday.

The county treasurer this morning
began the last lap of the semi-annual
collection of taxes. Tine property
owners have until January twenty
nfth to discharge their obligations to
the county without having their prop
erty sold for taxes and without hav-
ing to pay the penalty which is pre-
scribed by law.
Some time ago an opinion from the
attorney generals department was to
the effect that the change in the date
for the delinquent tax sale had ex-
tended the time for the payment OF
taxes to the second Tuesday in Feb
ruary, which this year falls upon the
18th. but the treasurer has received
no official notice to this effect so
there is nothing left for him to do
but to close his books at the regu-
lar time, January 25th. Treasurer
Wottring states that he would be
very glad TO extend the time until
the fourteenth OF February, but he
does not consider he would be justi-
fled in taking such action without
definite instructions from the attor-
ney general, through the county audi
tor.
Each day persons inquire at the Of
flee whether the time has been eX-
tended as reported and to all inquirers
Mr.. Wottring replies that If such an
extension has been made, he has no
knowledge of It, so, that, unless di-
rect instructions are received from
those in authority. the books will he
closed January 25th and after that
date the penalty will be affixed.
The tax collection so far this period
has been very satisfactory but there
are a number of property owners who
are still delinquent. A large NUMBER
of these will doubtless come in be-
fore the flag falls and the collection
during the remaining days will be
quite heavy, as some of the largest
tax payers wait until the last day OF
two of the tax paying period to meet
this obligation.
