COURTS RULING AWAITED
New Prison Site In Madison County
May Be Abandoned.

Columbus, O., Nov. 26.-Unless the
courts come to the rescue of the state
Immediately it may be compelled to
look for another site for the new
rural penitentiary. The Ellsworth
farm site, near London, may be aban.
doned. One of the chief reasons for
the commissions selecting the Els
worth farm was because it contained
a tract of virgin oaks. According to
information received here, Mr.. Els
worth is cutting the trees without re-
gard to designs Of the state. This in
formation was transmitted directly to
Governor Cox. The governor lost no
time in informing DR.. Shepard of the
state board of administration. Dr..
Shepard notified Attorney General
Hogan. The state already has begun
condemnation proceedings in the
courts Of London to take possession
Of the property Unless Mr.. Els
worth is restrained from cutting the
timber, it was predicted about the
statehouse that The London site would
be abandoned.

MERGER OPPOSED5
Smaller Universities of ohio Not To
Be Disturbed.

Columbus, o., Nov. 27.-Correlation
of the three state universities at Co
lumbus, Athens and Oxford but not
a merger of the three into one, is the
plan of the state administration.
After the recent visit of Ohio legis.
lators and educators to Wisconsin,
Michigan and Illinois, each of which
states maintains a single university,
there was renewal of talk of combin'
ing the Ohio universities by making
Ohio State university the one univer.
sity of the state and reducing Athens
and Miami to the rank of normal
schools. This suggestion aroused much
opposition, especially among the
alumni of the two smaller institu-
tions, who threatened to fight in the
legislature any such plan.
The school survey demonstrated
that the normal departments of Ath-
ems and Miami are doing an impor-
tant and essential work in training
teachers. 1t also has been shown
that to attract teachers to their nor
NAL courses they must be offered op.
portunity to take the courses in the
college of arts. Governor Cox, it was
ascertained, believes that for this
reason, if no other, the smaller uni.
versities should not be disturbed.

OIL FIELDS WELL GUARDED
Admiral Fletcher Submits Report TO
Washington.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The anxiety
Of the administration regarding the
international situation on the oil
coast of Mexico was considerably al
layed on the receipt of Teassuring re.
ports from Rear Admiral Fletcher,
commanding the American squadron
in Mexican waters.
'No pipe lines, no storage tanks
and no oil wells have been destroyed
or injured" said Admiral Fletcher in
his cabled report. mo Americans or
foreigners have been killed, injured
or their lives threatened, and none
has been thrown out Of employment
on account of the insurrection. Oil
wells, oil camps, pipe lines, etc, are
in operation, but with output some
what below normal"
Admiral Fletcher considers Tuxpan
well guarded, with a garrison of 400
federal soldiers and a gunboat He
will probably go to Tampico in a day
or two.
The Tuxpan oil district, the admiral
reported, embraces an area Of 700
square miles, representing invest.
ments Of $5O,O0OOOO, about half of
which is American capital. One hun.
dred Americans and 20 foreigners are
employed in this district.
This report is regarded, of course, as
furnishing ample evidence that the
landing Of armed forces asked for by
the oil interests is entirely unneces-
sary.

pale-faced mite, she's passed from one

she hasn't got a speck of zzip left

laughed outright at the thought.
1t was here that Elizabeth had slip
ped into the window recess, her pulses
throbbing.
If Cooks little girl could run away
why shouldn't she?
Elizabeth had not known it could
be so cold when one got out into the
night; but the stars had a friendly
twinkle, and the shop-windows looked
so pretty with their tinsel drapings
and red paper bells that she almost
forgot the cold as she went eagerly
from one gay collection Of toys to an
other an felt the companionship of
children, as she rubbed shoulders with
ragged newsboys and pinched-faced
little girls who gazed quite as eagerly
as she at the Christmas dolls hold

asked timidly, of little girl who
held her baby sister by the hand and
stamped her feet to keep them warm.
"Sakes alive, yes" said the other,
in astonishment "Ain't that one with
the black curls too cute for any
thing!" she added, gazing at it with
wistful eyes.
Gould we go in and-and buy it?"
asked Elizabth earnestly.
"Course we could, if we had the
cents"
Come on, then!" said Elizabeth,
and, grasping her incredulous compan-
ion by the hand, she plunged into the
store. The doll with the black
curls!" she stammered. May buy
it for this little girl?"
Sure" said the salesman.
Elizabeth fished dollar bill out OF

it was nothing but hustle and hustle,
in most places, and all the necessary
hullabaloo that makes Christmas the
adorable holiday that it is-but-and
here is where my story comes in.
On a quiet street, where the better
class of houses stood, a trifle away
from the shopping district and the
street car lines, little face was
pressed against the window-pane, and
two large tears stole down over
straight little nose. Other little girls
were joyfully looking forward to this
happy season, but Elizabeth Rockerby
felt sadly at loss and out of place
as she stood in her black velvet and
lace in her grandmothers huge draw
ing-room. She had overheard the par
lor-maid and the upper house-maid,
in whispered conversation.

maid, had said. The poor darlint

GEN. CALDWELL ON THE CHAR.
TER.

General Alfred Caldwell has per
formed a public service in calling at
tention-as only a trained lawyer
could-to the general ~looseness of
wording and uncertainty that prevails
throughout the proposed new charter.
As General Caldwell points out. char
ter making is one of the most delicate
and difficult of tasks. A work which
an experienced lawyer would approach
with difIdence. the makers of the
Paull-LaF7am charter gleefully rushed
into without acquiring the least claim
to fitness or experience. and the re-
sulting hodge-podge. they present as
absolutely the last word in charter
making. and demand its acceptance by
our citizens.
As a lawyer. General Caldwell de
clares that he proposed charter has
in it the elements Of endless conten
ton and litigation. and there is scarce
ly a paragraph so clearly written that
It's meaning may not have finally to
be interpreted by the courts. Addi-
tional to the general looseness and I'M
certainty. General Caldwell strongly
condemns the proposed charter be-
cause Of its evident purpose TO de
stroy representative government in
Wheeling, and center irresponsible
power in the hands of a few men.
