A Good Official.

e. M. Fullington is serving his first
term as Auditor of State.
Section 24O General Code, provides
that the Governor may at any time ex-
anime the Office and accounts of the
Auditor of State. Does the opposing
candidate, Mr.. Donahey, intend to
charge Governor Harmon with fail
ure to perform his official duty, or is
it an ignorance Of the law and the
facts, when he issues his statement
broadcast for political effect that no
provision is made for such examina-
tion, and that such has never been
made, while the fact is, Governor
Harmon has made one examination
during hi administration
Under the direction of Mr.. Pulling
ton, the Bureau of Public Account
ing has accomplished work of inestim-
able value to the taxpayers of Ohio,
as we'll as to perfect system of ac-
counts in every State, County, Town

which has put every public Office in
the State on a business basis. The
system so established has proven a
success, and has won the approval OF
every official having to do with public
accounts of the various Departments
Of State and local government.
Mr.. Donahey, Democratic nominee
for Auditor of State, advocates the
placing of the Bureau of Public Ac.
counting in the hands, of some o q e
other than the Auditor of State, for
the purpose of making out of it poll

ously avoided by Mr.. Fullington, he

of the Examiners being Democrats,
and the Bureau proper with one DEM
ocrat and two Republicans.
A certain element wishing to des-
troy the efficiency of this Bureau,
tried to have the last General Assem-
bly, take it from under the control OF
Mr.. Fullington, but majority OF the
Democratic members of this General
Assembly, appreciating the nonpar-
tisan work of Mr.. Fullington, refused
to make any change. However, Mr..
Donahey attempts to place his judg-
ment above the General Assembly,
while, In fact, he knows nothing about
the work being accomplished, and ad-
vocates the change, not for any good
he thinks might be accomplished, but
wholly for political effect.

was unable to get a fair trial, Dr.
Frederick B. Ashton. against whom a
verdict for $4,000 was recently OBJ
tanned by Miss Viola Schram, in a

THREE ARE STRICKEN WITH
PTOMA|NE POISONING
Mrs. Amelia Bergman and Men
Boarders Blame Pork
U. For Illness.

Mrs. Amelia Bergman, living in the
lower part OF the house at No. $40
Wilkins-st.. and her two boarders,
George Eichinger, about 2S years DID,
and a butcher, named Bowers, aged
about 35. were victims Of ptomaine
poisoning, Monday night. On arising,
about a. m, Tuesday. Mrs. Berry
man felt dizzy and very Ill. Sne
called her boarders, as usual, but no
response came. Then she investigat-
ed, to find that both were unconscious.
She raped on the ceiling for assist
ance, and William Karrer, who lives
upstairs with his family, came down.
He called DR.. w. r. Henderson, NO.
515 st. Aubin-ave., and pending the
arrival OF the latter, did what he could
to revive the two men. Mrs. karrer
looked after Mrs. Bergman.
When the doctor came, Mrs. Berry
man had almost recovered, as had
also Bowers. Eichinger, however, was
still in bad shape and he was has
tened TO st. Mary's hospital. He Is
now recovering.
What caused the illness Of the three

that Ii might have been brought on
by pork eaten for the Monday noon

evening. Samples OF the pork and

Rarely IL ever In the city's. history
has any election brought the voters

today's special election on the Thomp-
SON. -Hutchins franchise, improperly
and unfairly labeled the Thompson
Hally ordinance on the ballot. From
the time the polls opened at o'clock,

IN a steady stream and the 2 o'clock
count should give a pretty fair idea
OF the final result. II il Is against
the franchise. and the sentiment cx-
pressed in all sections, points that
way, there is no hope for the measure
winning out, for the great mass of
the working people will not be able to
get tc the booths until evening and
they are known to be almost solidly
against the grab.
In previous elections, when Mayor
Thompson has been a candidate, he

COURT REFUSES TO QUASH
INDICTMENTS IN BATHTUB
CASES. TRIAL NEXT MONTH
Failure to Charge That Re
straint of Trade Was "Un-
reasonable" Not Defective
HEARING SET FOR FEB. Z
Judge Angel Postpones Date
For Week at Request of
Defendants.
HEARING SET FOR FEB. Z

Judge Angel, OF the United States
district court, handed down a de-
cisiol. Tuesday morning, denying the
Colwell Lead Cos. motion to quash
the indictment against 1t in the bath
tub trust litigation. This means that
the bathtub cases will go on trial
but at the request of the defendants
the trial date has been changed from
Jan. 80 to Feb. z.
The courts decision denying the
motion to Quash the indictment is a
lengthy one. 1t follows In part:
The question TO be determined is
whether this indictment, within the
strict rules of criminal pleading, suf-
ficiently apprises the defendant that
the offense with which II is charged
Is one Punishable under the statute
as now construed. The indictment in
connection with the words restraint
OF trade does not use the word un-
reasonable or any other words con-
veying the idea that the restraint in
Nolved was one which would have
been condemned as void on general
legal principles irrespective OF this
statute. The indictment does not set
out fully and clearly that the con-
spiracy or combination In restraint
OF trade, was one under which prices
had been, or were TO be, controlled
and raised, and competition restrict
ed. In two counts OF the indictment,
in case 5164, an attempt to monopo-
lie trade is clearly alleged. The in
dictments set out, then, facts showing
the restraint to be unreasonable and
forbidden by the statute, II a proper
conclusion has been reached above
as 10 the result of the opinion in the
Standard Oil cases.
1T seems to me that the defendant
is fairly advised by the indictments
of what II has to meet at the trial,
and OF what offense it Is charged with
In such sense and to such extent that
II can prepare its defense, and have
the benefit hereafter Of a conviction
or acquitkal in this proceeding. III
right in this. ii would follow that the
indictment should not be held fatally
defective.
Upon the whole, my conclusion is
that the indictment must be sus-
tanned, and cannot be held bad for it's
failure TO charge directly and in ap-
propriate terms that the restraint OF
trade was an unreasonable restraint
within the meaning of the statute as
now construed"

FAKE PIANO OFFER GETS
BLOW IN JUSTICE COURT
Story & Clark Concern Is Held
Liable For Full Amount Of
Prize Certificate
BY FINANCE.

IL the decision rendered by Justice
Alex. j. Polk, of River Rouge, is in
the case of Ernest Manthei against
Story and Clark. the piano dealers
who have made themselves we'll
known in Detroit, through their ques-
tionable piano-puzZle schemes. is sus-
tanned in the circuit courts, there will
be large number of Detroiters who
will be able TO collect real money
from that house.
The case which has recently been
decided before Justice Polk involved
one of the certificates OF credit which
are distributed as prizes for the solu-
tion of the simple little puzzles that
were printed in the newspapers that
accept Story and Clark advertising.
These certificates of credit purport to
entitle the holder TO money TO apply
on the purchase price of Story and
Clark pianos.
Ernest Manthei received a certif-
cate for 1920 for the solution OF one
of the puzzles. He went down to the
Detroit store and selected piano
priced at $435. The firm was not
willing TO let IL go without little
real money paid down and required
Manthei to pay So in addition to turn
ing over the certificate. He was then
given credit for $235 on a contract
for a piano.
After waiting a few days for the
instrument TO be delivered, Manthei
went down TO the store TO see what
might be the reason for the delay.
He was then told that the plano
which he had selected had been sold
by another salesman by mistake, and
that they had no other like IL in the
store.
But-and this reveals something OF
the selling methods pursued by the
company-they had plenty OF higher
priced pianos which they would sell
to him at concession. Manthei re-
fused 10 be satisfied with their ex-
cuses and did not bite at the attrac-
tive bait held out 20 get him to induce
him 90 take higher priced instru-
ment
Instead OF that he brought suit be-
fore Justice Polk and got a judgment
for S235 and costs, the full amount
of the credit which he had on his con.
tract for the piano which was not de-
livered Story and Clark Immediately
appealed 10 the circuit court and the
case IL now pending.
The case is very important, for II
the decision Is sustained, II will es-
tablsh the certificates of credit which
have been spread out SO literally by
means OF the puzzle contests, social
ed as real money having a value that
is. enforcible in court Once that is
established the public is not likely to
be bothered with any more OF the
fake offers with the string attached.
