II. S. BIeELoW OF CINCINNATI
MAPS OUT PROGRAM FOR
THE LEGISLATORS.
FAVORS EARLY MEETING OF ASSEMBLY
State Commences Suit Against the
Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad
Co. to Recover $3o0,937.5o
Capital Stock Tax.

Columbus.-Herbert S. Blgelow of
Cincinnati, recent constitutional con-
Yention president, maps out a pro-
gram he believes the new Ohio leg
islature should follow. His sugges-
tions in part are as follows:
"In view of the unusual amount of
legislation to be enacted, l favor an
early meeting of the elected members
in order that the biggest subjects OF
legislation may be assigned to provi
ftonal committees for special work
during the next two months.
"Workmens compensation, mini
mum wage, state wide primary, fran
chise, income, and inheritance taxes,
good roads, physical valuation of pub
lie utilities and other matters Of ma.
jor importance should be receiving,
during the next two months, much
consideration by citizens and civic
bodies.
Something like our united constitu-
ton committees should be named at
unce to hold regular sessions, so that
the best talent in the community may
be brought to the assistance of the
legislature.
''To the Cleveland delegation might
be assigned the work of preparing
home rule legislation.
Cincinnati might specialize on
workmen's compensation and the pub
tic utilities question.
Toledo, Columbus and Dayton
might be put to work on other sub
jects. This is a new order of things
and the people ought to be invited in
to help in the making of their own
laws"

Attorney General Hogan.
Although Mr.. Hogan did not give
the reason for the plan, he said an in

of the state to hold the Cetone trial
first.
1t is not definitely known just when

is expected to start soon, as Stenog

because of his illness that the trial
has been delayed.

Apple Output Laroe.

AS the result of the good weather
conditions this summer and of the
advanced methods of cultivating ap.
pies, car loads of this fruit far in
excess Of the number usually received
are rolling into all of the large cities
The western states particularly re.
port one of the biggest crops of ap.
pies they ever had. 1t is said that
from these states alone $4,000 car.
loads of apples are being shipped, as
against 1900 shipped last year New
York state and several other eastern
states also have bumper apple crops.
Although the scientific methods of
spraying and cultivating the apple
tree introduced by the Ohio Agricul-
tural Commission have resulted in bet
ter apples being produced in this
state, the number of car loads raised
here is less this wear than last.

Columbus.-Whether estates, the in.

which the Ohio supreme court must
decide. The case comes from Cuya-

charitable purposes does not exempt
the property from taxation.
The style of the suit is the Benja-
min Rose institute against the county

thousands of dollars in taxes are in.
volved.
A feature of the suit is that before
the supreme court has determined the
status of the estate under the old con
stitution the taxation amendment
which makes a material change in the
exemption clause, will be in effect and
the decision as a precedent will be OF
little value

Brief Freedom Costly to Prisoner.

George Huy, aged 81, serving a two.
year sentence in the penitentiary from
Ashtabula county for burglary and lar
ceny, lost all his good time and was
reduced to the lowest grade because
of a few hours of freedom which he
obtained because of novel escape
on the trucks under a coal car from
the prison yard.
He was seen to- emerge from under
the car outside the walls by G. E.
Murphy, a Hooking Valley railroad
clerk, who gave the alarm and pur.
sued the escaped prisoner for several
miles.
Guards Beinecke and Coddington
found him hiding in a small cave I'm.
der an old tree on the banks of the
Scioto river. He had placed under,
brush over the entrance to the cave
and it was only by accident that he
was discovered Huy was received at
the penitentiary Feb. 8, 1912, and
with good time taken out, would have
left in September, 1913.

Constantinople, Nov. IA further
statement was made public Sunday
from the Sheik- Ul-Islam, who issued a
manifesto to the ulemas and hodjas
proclaiming a holy war. He says:
"On the initiative of the military
council and with the approval of the
council of ministers, commutique of
the grand vizier has been issued or
dering the dispatch to Hadeukeui of
about 100 eloquent and influential ule-
mas, with the object of uplifting the
moral state and exciting the warlike
ardor of the imperial army now being
concentrated at Tchatalja.
"The ulemas are to exhort the
troops in words easy to be understood
by the common soldiers. These ora
tors have been chosen from among the
most distinguished professors of the
ology and ulemas in the capital. They
are now preparing to leave for the
headquarters of the army.
Reports circulated contrary to the
spirit of this communication are false
and should be considered worthless"

nous numbers. Already there are some
$4,000 of them In the city. They are
continually being added to by fugitives
from all the devastated places in
Thrace. Their misery and want is
APPALLING and demands a charitable
effort which cannot be on too large a
scale. The scenes of destitution and
despair among these unhappy people
are heartrending. Many camps In
isolated corners on the shores of the
Bosphorus are absolutely without the
necessaries OF life-no shelter, no fuel
and no milk for the innumerable
babies. Hunger and privation are
everywhere.
An epidemic of cholera, which
threatens to spread to terrible proper
tions, renders speedy assistance all
the more imperative.
Sofia, Nov. 12.-The Bulgarian

A brigade of infantry followed up a
fierce cannonade and stormed the
forts amid blaze Of Turkish search
lights and hail of projectiles. Rein

tured positions for the purpose of re
pelling counter attacks.
Kartaltepe is an especially strong
position rising to a height Of 465 feet
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE United
