Columbus.-Through a bad piece Of
legislative laundering, polls in the
larger cities of the state at the pri-
mary and general election will not be
open longer this year than in other
years, and the plan. to give the work
ingmen of the big cities an extra half
hour in which to cast their ballots will
be defeated.
At the session of the general as
sembly last winter law was enacted,
the purpose of which was to extend
to p. m. central standard time) the
hour at which the polls should be
closed. The present time is $50 p. m.
Instead of amending the entire cleo
ton law, the mistake was made in
amending one section, and the wrong
section at that.
Has Amusing Feature.
In examining the amended law the
Franklin county board of elections
came to the conclusion that The very
purpose of the amendment was de-
feated. An opinion has been asked
from Secretary Of State Graves, who
is the official head of the voting ma
chinery OF the state, and the final
judge Of election law Interpretation. 1t
is said he will sustain the local cleo
ton board.
Under the Interpretation, polls in
Columbus and the four other big cities
of the state, Cleveland, Cincinnati, To-
ledo and Dayton, will close at $50,
but in the voting districts ortside the
cities in Cuyahoga, Hamilton, Frank
lin, Lucas and Montgomery counties
the polls will not close until s o'clock
There is an amusing feature in the
law, as construed. In general elec-
tons it is always hardest to get
prompt returns from the country dis
tricts. Also there is no special reason
why the polls there should be kept
open later than $50.

Sponges are known to
the general public al
most solely for their
use in the toilet-one of
their minor applications.
They are vastly more
valuable in the arts. To
the surgeon the sponge
is invaluable, almost, as
a life-saver in taking up
blood and checking hem
orrhage; while the doc.
tor formerly prescribed

lar swellings, nowadays
iodine and bromine,
which are the chemical
and useful constituents,
are used alone. In many
trades they are practic.
ally indispensable, and
N1espite the efforts and
uIAgenuity of inventors,
fno satisfactory substi-
ture has ever been pro.
and it is doubtful
whether one can be
found. The properties
that give a sponge its
value are many; they
are found in combina.
tion in no other natural
or artificial product, and
the perpetuation of the
sponge supply is of no
small moment to civil.

American in England After

Duke Of Beaufort Backing Or. orvilie
Owen OF Detroit In His Search
for Hiding Place OF Key to
Ancient Mystery.

London.-During the last three days
general attention has once more been
called to the evergreen Bacon
Shakespeare controversy by the news
that DIR. Orville owen of Detroit has
begun extensive digging in the bed OF
the River Wye at Chepstow.
The doctor is not digging for treas
ures. Besides himself and the Duke
of Beaufort. whom he has succeeded
In interesting in his search. no one
knows exactly the nature OF his mys-
terious quest. The American has de-
clared. however. that he hopes to dis
cover nothing less than undisputable
proofs that Bacon was the real au'
thor OF the Shakespearean works.
Il is asserted by some Baconians
that Sir Francis Bacon was a son OF
Queen Elizabeth and rightful heir to
the throne. and that he published
things which he dared not publish un-
der his own name. hiding them by
means of a cipher In his plays, which
were issued under the name of
Shakespeare.
II is this cipher which DIR. owen
has come from Detroit to England to
find. He had been laying his plans
more than a year. and now has sue
ceeded in obtaining leave to make ex-
tensive excavations In the mud Of the
Wye on the property of the Duke Of
Beaufort.
The work can only be accomplished
at low tide. and the strenuous efforts
OF a dozen diggers already have pro
duced results which the American
doctor considers Justify his search.
A few logs of oak and pieces OF ce-
ment were raised from one of the
numerous holes dug In the river bed.
