NO TEST
Of 2 Cent Fare Law To Be
Made In Ohio
Willing To Let Law Remain
As II Is

Central Ohio railroad men are be-
ginning to believe that there will be
no test of the Ohio 2-cent fare law by
the railroads operating in this state.
1t is an open secret that the railroads
are not unit on this matter, the roads
operating within the state being will
ing to let the law remain as 1t Is, while
the interstate roads, especially the
clared invalid.
The reason for the attitude of the
latter is that the interstate commerce
commission is getting ready to apply
the long and short-haul clause of the
federal law to the passenger tariffs,
and SO adjust interstate rates to agree
with the state rates. The railroads
have until May 1st to prepare for this,
and the commission gave them to un.
derstand last year that If they were 60
ing to test the 2-cent fare laws, be-
ginning must be made before that time.
For a number of years the railroads
have been holding off this adjustment
of interstate with state fares, with the
plea that they expected to test the val
idity of these state laws, limiting the
maximum passenger fare to 2 cents a
mile. 1t is said that within the last
few weeks the Interstate commerce
commission has given the roads to un.
derstand that no further concessions
will be granted, but that the roads
must be ready to place the new tar
ifs in accordance with the ruling of
the commission, on May 1.
On that date the roads will have
to readjust their passenger tariffs so
that they will be on a straight 2-cent-
a-mile basis, and this will result in a
reduction in a number of interstate
fares. 1t is said that the interstate
roads fear retaliation by the state
should they join with the trunk lines
in testing the laws, so 1t is probable
that nothing will be done in Ohio or
Indiana along this line.

REPLIES FOR WILSON
w. r. Mccombe Says Governor Told
Truth to Harvey.

w. =. McCombe Says Governor Told
Truth to Harvey.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Two impor-
tant developments occurred in the
Democratic presidential situation.
The Woodrow Wilson people issued
their first authoritative comment on
the action of Governor Wilson in
telling Colonel George Harvey in ef-
feet that he was milestone about
the neck Of the Wilson boom. This
statement was issued by William F.
McCombe, Governor Wilson's polit-
ical manager. Mr. McCombe does
not deny any detail OF the versions
Of the famous interview as told by
Colonel Harvey and Colonel Henry
Watterson, The question which Gov
ernor Wilson's manager asks the
governors political enemies to an
swer is whether one friend In pri-
vate conversation with another
should In answer to plain question
resort to flattery or assimilation, or
whether he should state the plain
truth as he saw it. Obviously Gov
ernor Wilson stated the plain truth.
The other development of impor-
tance in the Democratic situation
was the announcement by Speaker
Champ Clark that he would stake his
chances for the presidential nomina-
tion on the action of the approaching
convention of Missouri Democrats at
Joplin. If that convention indorses
Joseph w. Folk. the speaker will for
bid the further use of his name In
connection with the presidency.

GEYER
Who Once Pitched For Mt.
Vernon Now On Clutches

st. Louis, Jan. 19-"Rube" Geyer,
the Cardinal finger, who once had the
distinction of being the highest-priced
recruit on the local National League
clubs roster, narrowly missed an
attack of blood poisoning as result
of having his foot pierced by a rusty
nail, according to letter received by
Ed Honey. Geyer Is wintering In the
wlds of Northern Minnesota, wherehe
owns strip of timber land.
Geyer has been hunting all winter,
shooting for big game in the snow
bound regions. He Is accompanied by
Josh Clark and few other tossers,
About two weeks ago he stepped on a
nail and the wound festered. He was
far from medical aid and In n pretty
precarlous position when physician
arrived He has been on crutches ev-
er since, but tells Honey that he eX-
poets to he up and about on both feet
before another week He has been de-
clared out of danger by the doctor.
With the exception of Bresnahan,
who approximated as high price as
the much-talked-of Marty O'Toole. II
all the assets that the late NJ. Stanley
Robinson turned loose to get the Duke
were accurately totaled. Geyer cost
the local club more than any other
man on the roster In round figures
just $4,000 was paid for Geyer to the
Columbus club,
His first year here Geyer was use
less because of lame shoulder lie
rounded to last season and won his
spurs as a relief ninger. Towards the
fag end OF the season he was taking
his regular turn on the hillock and
prospering. Next season he is looked
upon 1s a regular.

Charged with obtaining money I'M
der false %pretenses, F. H. Walsh, who
claims to have been an employe of the
Northern Pacific railroad at one time,
was. arrested last night by the city
police department and will probably
be accorded a hearing sometime to-
day.
Walsh was arrested on complaint of
Mrs. Grasse Of 815 Seventh street
south at whose house he had en-
gagged a room. 1t is alleged that Walsh
applied for a room at the Grasse res
idence representing himself to be a
Northern Pacific conductor.
He is said to have told Mrs. Grasse
last night that he was in receipt of
an express none Greer which he was
unable to cash IN account of the late
ness of the hour. He asked her to adj
vance him the amount of the order,
which was $40. She obliged him and
he departed for a jubilee on the other
side of the river.
Later Mr.. Walsh showed UP at the
IGrasse residence in an automobile and
asked for $3.50 more. which was re
fused him. He left hurriedly and Mrs
lGrasse telephoned the police depart
ment. The man was arrested about
midnight.
1T seems Walsh has a reputation for
Eobtaining money through this method
employed, as it is said he was arrested
mot long since in Moorhead on the
same charge. When asked this morn

he had encountered some trouble ir

PREPARING FOR

REV. c, A. MCNAMARA TELLS OF

DAKOTA CHURCHES EVIDENT
~ DON'T BELIEVE IN THE
TIME LIMIT RULE

Rev. Chas. A. Mcnamara, district
copal church returned last evening,
having completed his round of visits
to the churches Ct Fargo district. The
continued wet weather mas greatly re-
t3rded the progress Of all agricultural
operations, and wheat is not being
marketed, and money is not in circu-
lation which fact will materially affect
the closing up of all financial matters,
for the conference.
The twenty-seventh annual confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
viii meet en- Wednesday,, Oct. 2, at
Williston, N. D. 1t is we'll to the north,
western part Of the state this year fu"
the first time in the history of the
conference. The conference of 1918
has been. invited to Lisbon aad there
are strong probabilities that the in
vita ton will be accepted. Rev. r. H.
Craig, who succeeded Rev. c. A. Mac
Eamara, has been invited to return to
spend the fifth ear on that charge.
The time. limit of several years ago
would seem to have little favor in
some parts of North Dakota confer
enCe, for several pastors have been
five years and some six years in their
present pastorates. +.rt..
Like DR.. H. G.. Leonard, who was
eight years with the First church of
Fargo. Rev. James Anderson has just
completed his eighth year at Valley
City. At the quarterly conference held
Wednesday afternoon at Valley City
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved: That it is the sense of
this quarterly conference and We here
by express our sincere appreciation
of the faithful service Rev. James
Anderson has rendered this church for
the past eight years; that we recog-
nize his splendid christian character
and leadership among men, and that
he has built up this church in spiritu-
ality and he is beloved by his people
and highly respected by the communi-
ty at large.
! During this period the church mem
bership has grown from 125 to 300
Missionary contributions have grown
from $500 to almost $4,000. Church
property las increased from $500 tc
$4,000, and the Sunday school mem
bership has more than doubled. I'm
der his direction and constant care
the Wesley normal has been purchas-
ed and is now doing splendid work
among the young attending
the state normal school.
