was trying to open a typewriter desk,
and he struggled with the key several
moments before he made the astound-
ing discovery that it unlocked by turn

"'Why,' he said to me, with sur
prised air. this key works the wrong
way
"Just what do you mean by the
wrong way?"' was my natural query.

side of the door you face, the key to

Harrington
Captured At AdeIphi And
Taken To "KOrkS"

officer Robert McElroy of the local
police force arrived in Adelphi, Ohio,
a small town in the northeast corner
of Ross county, Wednesday at about
noon. He made the trip in response
to a call from the authorities of that
place who stated that they had a man
in custody whom they believed to be
Thomas Harrington, who escaped on
Friday, August Sth, two weeks ago,
from Chief of Police r. S. Clements
while being taken to the Dayton work
house to serve a sentence imposed
after his conviction before Mayor
Perrine of having violated the liquor
laws.
The man whom the Adelphi author
tiles had arrested and were OBTAINING
was Harrington. What reason he
might have had for hiding out so
close to the scene of his escape is
only a matter of conjecture. 1t is
probable that he felt secure in the
village which is several miles from a
railroad. He was then taken by officer
McElroy to Kingston, the nearest
railway station and was then hurried
to the Dayton work-house where he
will serve his sentence. The "brace-
let's" we're used upon him by the Off
Ger, who was not desirous of meeting
with the same humiliating experience
that was met with by his chief.
When Harrington was being taken
to Dayton by Chief Clements two
weeks ago he arose and went to the
rear of the car just as the train was
pulling into Columbus. The officer
trusted him to some extent and did
not keep a close watch on him. He
was gone when the train pulled into
the union station and had jumped
from the car when the train slacken.

INJUNCTION
IS SOUGHT
By Upham Co. Against Ohio
Fuel Supply Co.
To Stop The Use OF The
Pressure Pumps
In Fields Of Knox, RiChIand
And Ashland Co.'S
Claimed That The Gas Is
Drawn From Upham Land
With Consequent Heavy Loss
To The Upham Company,
columbus Dispatch)

The Upham Gas Company, a West
Virginia corporation, has filed injunc-
ton proceedings in United States dis
trict court against the Ohio Fuel Sup
ply company, asking that the latter
be enjoined from using pressure
pumps on their gas properties in
Knox, Ashland and Richland counties
The petition alleges that it is losing
millions of feet of gas from it's terri
tory because of the installation of
powerful pumps at Homer, Licking
county, by the fuel company. The Up
ham company declares further that it
is the owner of about 5000 acres of
gas territory leases in the counties
mentioned, and that the entire terri
tory for miles in each direction in
underlaid with valuable supply of
natural gas. 1t claims that in all of
it's wells no artificial means is being
used to get other than the natural
pressure, but because of the fact that
ttC e5eto loSh 10 pOiOuoy IiC' Sclo pCDcT
trates to all parts of this territory,
and it is possible for the fuel COM
pany with their powerful pumps to
draw gas from leased Upham farms.
The petition virtually charges the
defendant with getting the benefit of
millions of feet of natural gas which
10 ,,ndo,, tba propar+v apd Y,i0btlv bo
longs to the Upham company.
The petitioner claims that under
this large reservoir of gas there is a
vast body of water, and that as the
gas pressure is reduced the water
pressure is increased, and therefore
the wells are filled with water and
the company is compelled to go to a
heavy expense to cover this damage.
Both companies sell gas in Mt. Yer
non, Newark and other cities. The
Fuel company is charged with prepar-
. ing to install more pumps and be-
cause of the alleged DANCE that is
already done to it's property, the Up
ham company asks for an injunction.
"If the injunction is granted re-
straining the Ohio Fuel Supply Com
pany from the use of forcing appar-
atus at it's Ohio Well" said Leslie B.
Denning, attorney for the company,
yesterday, "it means the same order
likewise can be employed in almost
every gas we'll in the country. With
out the use of pumps at the wells, the
process OF conveying gas for any great
distance will be impossible"

Grand Opera, "The Lovers
Quarrel" Well Rendered
By A Mixed Quartet Of Very
Delightful Voices
While George |. MCNutt Kept
Audience COnVuISed

Enthusiasm abounded at the first
night performance of the Redpath
Chautauqua Wednesday evening,
when two choice offerings, in the
shape OF the Redpath Grand Opera
company and George L. McNutt, were
presented for the delectation of the
mammoth crowd assembled under
the big tent on South Main street.
AS fitting headliner, the quartet,
consisting of perfectly rounded indi-
vidual voces with a charming blend,
gave an extremely pleasing rendition
of Parelli's one act opera, "The Low
ers Quarrel" a synopsis of which
was given in Wednesdays Banner.
This delightful little operetta was
received with the heartiest approba-
ton, particularly the solos Of Miss
Mabel Cox and Mr.. David Dunbar in
the reconciliation scene between the
lovers. An ensemble chorus with each
part properly accentuated also cap
tured the crowd.
The acting of the quartet was a
bright feature. The coquetry of Ros-
aura Miss Cox, the craftiness of
Florindo (Mr. Dunbar), and the in
dulgence of Donna Angelica Miss
Muenstermann) and Don Fulgenzio
(Mr. Anderson) were all brought cut
with distinct clearness.
Mr.. George L. McNutt, the Dinner
Pail Man." then held the boards for
a period of 25 minutes in which he
drew philosophy from nature and
and from the witty stories he kept
the audience convulsed with. Without
attempting to do justice to his in
vigorating talk, it may be said that
his theme was the spreading of the
milk of human kindness" to which
he gave the unique title of royal
the power of adjusting all class con-
flicts and of making better race, IL
lustrating every point by some tale
from his own rich stock of knowledge.
At the conclusion of his talk, the
Redpath Grand Opera company rem
dered quartet form of the beautiful
sextette from Lucia di diLammermoor" :.
AS an encore to this, Nevin's immor-
tai "My Rosary" was sung. Another
encore being demanded, the ever
popular barcarolle GO Belle Nuit")
from ]. Offenbach's Tales OF Hoff-
man" was forthcoming, Still the au-
dience applauded and Mr., Dunbar
sang a solo, Song OF Thanksgiving
by Francis Ellison. Mr. Anderson
then rendered two bass solos, "Stone-
cracker John" and "He Played On
His Big Bass Viol" The audience
was not yet satisfied, so, as parting

munications from the American EN-.
bassy at Mexico City gave the presi.
dent clearer idea Of the actual con-
ditions which confront John Lind at
the Mexican capital and the outlook
for the mediation proposals.
Lind's detailed report of the inter.
view he had with President Huerta
has reached the White House. Its
most significant statement was to the
effect that Huerta had not yielded
anything from the stand taken by him
in his formal reply to the American
proposals
The special envoy reiterated that
the interview had disclosed a cordial.
ity and willingness on the part Of the
provisional president to discuss the
note which he had sent in answer to
the proposals by the United States.
He had not signified in any way that
he would consent to friendly interfer.
ence of the United States in Mexican
affairs except as preceded by the i'm.
mediate recognition of his govern.
ment by the United States. The spe.
cial envoy informed the president that
he had not lost hope that the media
ton plan in some form might be &C.
cepted.
Huerta took direct issue with ths
assumption on which President Will.
son had based his appeal for media.
ton, that the Constitutionalist move.
ment in northern Mexico is formid.
able and Of sufficient strength to jus.
tifX the United States in regarding
Mexico as being in a state OF civil
war, where American lives and prop.
erty could not be adequately protect.
ed by the de facto government. The
Mexican president declared that the
revolution was of inconsiderable pro.
portions and was rapidly being extin-
guished by the continued victories of
the federal troops. He added that his
government was able to protect Amer
lean interests fully and that the Unit.
ed States should treat with him on
this footing.
In that part of the reply against
outside interference with the internal
affairs OF his country, Huerta express
ed his confidence that an overwhelm.
ing majority of the people of the re-
public regarded him as their lawful
ruler and desired his continuance in
power. Throughout the note there
appeared to run the idea that recogni.
ton is the only basis on which sue.
cessful proposals can be submitted by
the United States.
Shorn of the persifage with which
Huerta prefaced his rejection of the
peace plan, there appeared in the note
a fairly definite and direct statement
of the Mexican presidents inability
to see" the force of the American
presidents argument. For one thing,
Huerta int'mated that he did not De-
lieve President Wilson had the sup
port of the majority of the American
people.
The belief here now is that the
president will inaugurate a policy OF
nonrecognition, with the intent of ad-
herring to it for an indefinite period.

proposals with finality.

declares the Sun, cannot be deemed
sumptuary legislation. Is it not rea
sonable to approve the Massachusetts
statute just passed providing that the
deadly end of hatpins worn in public
