EXPLORERS RESCUED
MEN LOOKED MORE LIKE AMI.
MAILS THAN HUMAN
BEINGS.
Had Spent More Than Two Years In
DesoIate Region When Found
BY Nor~egians.

Christiana, NorWay.-Capt. Ejnar
Mikkelsen, the Danish Arctic ex-
plorer, and the engineer, IVersen, who
were rescued on the coast Of Green
land by a Norwegian fishing vessel,
after having spent more than two
years in that region, looked like wild
animals when their rescuers found
them.
They had spent the previous winter
at Bass Rock island, not Shamrock
island, as previously stated, and it was
there that the Norwegians came upon
them in a cabin in which they had
built.
The first sign that there were hui
man beings in that neighborhood was
a wooden bar with the date 1912 cut in
it, set up as a signal, which the Nor
wegian fishermen happened upon. In
vestigation disclosed the cabin.

Rules on Morkmen's Law.

Columbus. - In a ruling given
to state liability awards, Attor-
ney General Hogan construed the
term "workmen or operatives" as
used in the workingmen's compensa-
ton law as meaning all employees to
whom compensation of any nature is
paid, excepting officers of a corpora
ton and travelling statesmen. "In my
judgment" said Attorney General Ho-
gan, "all of the office help, as well as
those persons who are actually en-
gagged in the dangerous work Of op-
Grating machinery, are within the
terms Of the act"

Ohio Fourth Tobacco State.

Ohio occupies a foremost position
among the states of the nation in to-
bacco manufactures. In the average
number of wage earners employed in
this industry, Ohio is third, Pennsyl-
vania leading with 33,1SS, New York
ranking second with 30,019 and this
state employing 1881. Ranked ac-
cording to the value of products, the
five leading states are: New York,
S76,661, ,552; Pennsylvania, $50 1857;
North Carolina, $35 5,9S6,639; Missouri,
$50, ,950,63S, and Ohio, $2S,9O7,26
Value added by manufacture places
Ohio in fourth place as follows: New
York, $45,320,146; Pennsylvania, $29,-
447,964; North Carolina, s22,17O,571,
and Ohio, s16,S32,446. The industry
as whole ranks eleventh in value of
products among those of the United
States. According to the last census
report, there were 1892 establish
ments in which 1877, 7,637 persons were
employed. Capital invested amounts
to $245, 60,484, while the total ex-
penses in 1909 were 1865 5,972,73O. The

SIX KILLED IN CRASH
Train Strikes Auto Containing Six
People Near Toledo, With
Fatal Results.

Toledo, O.-With a crash that could
he heard for a mile six persons were
killed and two were fatally injured,
and another hurt when Lake Shore
L Michigan Southern train struck an
automobile containing nine people.
The accident happened on grade
crossing and the view of the track was
obscured by a corn field. The occu-
rants of the machine did not see the
train until they were directly on the
track and it was too late.
The automobile was struck directly
in the center. 1t was demolished, and
the bodies of the victims were strewn
along the right of way for distance
OF more than 100 feet.

Plans Custer Suit Against Pennsy.

Columbus.-Charging that it has
entered into an unlawful agree
ment to regulate passenger excursion
business, Attorney General Hogan de-
clared that he will file an custer suit
against the Pennsylvania railroad in
the Franklin county circuit court. The
action will be based on the allegation
that the company entered into this
agreement with other roads forming
the Central Passeng0' association.
That the Pennsylvania in refusing to
run one-day excursions is aiming a
blow at the 2-cent fare in Ohio is a
further contention of Hogan. The pub
lie service commission recently ex-
pressed the belief that the Pennsylva-
mia Company wanted to thwart the op-
Grafton of the 2-cent fare in the state
and Attorney General Hogan said that
he believed the contention of the COM
mission in that regard is correct.

Used in Place of Bread

Austrians aver that, in the village OF
Obersteirmark, not very far from VI

food is sterz, kind of porridge made
from ground beechnuts, taken at break

dinner with broth or fried lard, and at
supper with milk. This dish is also
called "heiden," and.is substituted for
bread not only in the Austrian district

it is made of boiled grain, but It is
unlike the former in one respect-the

after the fashion of oatmeal porridge.

Fifteen hundred acres in the state
are being titled this year with jealous
care. The ground was plowed with
greater care than ever before. 1t was
prepared for planting under the best
advice. The corn was properly
planted. 1t is being cultivated with
more than ordinary interest. If it
beats all the others it means a trip
to Washington. Public-spirited men
in each county have completed ar
rangements for paying the boys ex-
penses on the trip and "A counties
are in the race. Some have two or
three purses offered, so that some
counties will have more than one lad.
Sandles wants to know how the
corn was raised, what it cost the boy
in time and what sort of care he dis
played in getting ready for the con-
test. To get this he has prepared
blanks for each boy to fill out with a
history of how he raised the crop.
The great aim of the contest irst
was to get the boys interested in farm
work and to stimulate them to their
best efforts to show what sort of
crops were possible when care was
used. The information from the tab
ulated answers will be sent over the
state in the form of special bulletin
on corn during the coming winter.
The inspectors from the board of
agriculture are making visits to the
special acres of land planted in corn
and will submit reports on what they
find during the summer.

dearth of local shikaris Is accounted
for by the rooted objection which the
native inhabitant of these wilds, the
nomad Hassack, has to walking. To
his ideas it is not the thing to do.

not, including good time deductions
of life sentence, Samuel Sheppard,
now, aged r. has. been endeavoring
to secure a, pardon. Sheppard was
twice tried in Writ county, and each
time the Jury found him guilty Of
murder in the first degree and he was
finally given a. life. sentence
Sheppard, previous to being con
victed, for the killing OF his wife,
Allie, and, his step-son, Lee Carroll,
aged seven, is alleged to have killed
a young man named Somerville. The
crime for which Sheppard is now
serving a life sentence was committed
in Writ county on August 81, 1900,
when. he is. supposed to have struck
down his wife with an axe, and al
though she lived for three or four
days she never regained conscious
ness.
Sheppard claims he is innocent and
that he was convicted on purely cir
cumstaptiaI evidence. The step-son.
he killed is said to. have Been an IL
legitimate child. Sheppard was a
farmer and alleges the crime was
committed in his absence from home.
The pardon attorney recommended
that no executive cIemency be grant
ed Sheppard and Governors GlasscocEN
approved the finding and therefore

tence unless executive clemency is
