Finds Officials Were Lax.

Columbus. = Laxity on the part
of Steubenville city officials is
shown up in report on that munich
pality, made by State Examiner H. D.
Waddell, and just made public. "A.
w. Patterson, acting clerk Of council,
was paid s47S.15 unlawfully for sery-
ing notices. He was also overpaid
$50 on his regular salary. Both
amounts should be paid back. An
overpayment of $500 was made to
John A. Bates, contractor, this be-
ing due to a miscalculation of 1870
square yards of material at SO cents
per square yard. Overpayments of
500 and So were also made to him on
other contracts. 1t would seem that
the officials are in need of an elemen-
tary arithmetic. The city owes the
county fine of $3.50 in state case
which it kept instead of turning II
over to the county. A bill posting
company owes the city rent for last
year.

was domineering and that they could
not get along with her. The nurses
get $25 a month and board and room,

salary of S45 month.
Superintendent limerick said that
the girls were let go for insubordina-

institution three months ago. "Other
girls who did not quit speak very high

VIII Repay convicts.

Columbus. - According to A. w.
Thurman, president of the state board
of administration, there is only one
way for the state to repay peniten-
tiary prisoners who have been made
victims of careless or dishonest Off
cials to the extent of $1,000. The rem
edy, he says, is for the state legisla-
ture to appropriate this amount to the
convict fund, from which, it is alleged,
there have been peculations for al
most 80 years. The next general as
sembly will be asked to act favorably
on the proposal.
Any attempt to ascertain who got
the missing money, Mr.. Thurman
says, would be practically useless.
Though the money is gone, the per-
sons responsible for the shortage can
not be reached. The state hopes and
expects the alleged shortage found
under the term of former Chief Clerk
l. N. Rex, Mr.. Thurman said, would
be settled as soon as possible.
1t is understood the detailed inves'
| tigation of the finances of the peni-
tentiary, recently completed by State
Auditor Fullington, has failed to un
cover anything of Importance in ad
dition to the deficit found by Fiscal
Agent E. Frank Brown, who discov
cred the alleged Rex shortage.
The check-up is the 6rst the institu
ton has had for many years and II
was believed that other irregularities
would be found. The state auditor if
believed, however, not to have beer
more successful than was the attor
ney generals office in bringing tt
light other Irregularities in the insti
tuition.

Atlantic Fleet Will Be Assembled A,

Washington, D. C.-The Panama
canal Is to be opened to traffic in the
fall Of 1913.
This statement was made officially
at the navy department with an an.
nouncement that the Atlantic fleet
would be gathered at Colon this win.
ter before the water 10 turned in.
The navy's estimate is based upon
the latest report from the army en-.
gineers.
Secretary Meyer, after consulting
with the isthmian canal commission,
discovered that construction work on
the canal had progressed 30 far that
unless action was taken Immediately
there was probability that the men
Of the fleet would have no opportunity
to examine the connecting link be-
tween the two oceans before it was in
operation. The visit of the fleet will
include railroad trips for the men
throughout the canal zone.
The date for the opening of the
canal originally was set for Jan. /,
1915, and engineers for some time
had doubted II the engineering Diff
culties could be overcome to permit
completion Of the work by that date,
The remaining work is said to offer
few obstacles.

Beal Sneed, who shot and killed Ar

statement was made just as the fu-

A new development in the case was

to induce her to elope with him for

Snead's two children with him. The
